When I was a little girl, and I would suddenly wake up in the dark from a dream in the middle of the night and feel scared and anxious. I would run across the hallway, wake my parents up for comfort and protection. They would give me a kiss and a hug and tell me everything was going to be ok. I would go back in my own bed, but I would still feel the fear and I would eventually fall back asleep. What was I trying to seek protection from?
Maybe what we are trying to protect ourselves from is just that…ourselves. We fear the content of our dreams and what they are truly telling us.
Can insomnia, difficulty falling asleep or waking up in the middle of the night be fear of the messages that we receive through our dreams?
Are dreams the way the Divine talks to us…gives us messages?
Are we afraid to listen?
Is it possible that we do not want to see the messages in our dreams because it may force us to change?
Is change within ourselves moving us towards the light…or what is called enlightenment?
Maybe we are not really afraid of the dark…but afraid of the light. We fear the shift, the transformation of our souls. We want to stay the same and have everyone around us change for our greater happiness. Searching your own soul can bring you closer to the light.
These are some questions to ponder. Know that you may need to wrestle with change in order to have a peaceful night sleep.
*I have updated my blog..shorter bits of shared experiences and wisdom with more questions to ponder rather than answers. I hope you give yourself a chance to think about the questions that I raise… I have given much thought to them myself.
