The Power of Dreams

January 14, 2014

I rearranged all the furniture in my room before bed last night. That coupled with anxiety over my upcoming move, I had difficulty sleeping and tossed around most of the night. As a result, I remember many of my dreams and they were largely unpleasant. The surprising thing, however, is how my dream self dealt with the terrors of the night. Instead of panicking and propelling me awake as often happens, she met each predator with resolute calm and secured protection for herself and loved ones. Where the fear conjured in dreams usually lingers upon awakening, this morning I was spared. Contrary to waking and feeling victimized, I feel ready. Capable. Strong.
