Waking Up

November 29, 2007

My dream time is an integral part of my waking life. Because my dream time is important to me, I pay attention to my dreams. Over the years, there have been many confirmations of the information and insights gained through my dreams. One of the advantages of no longer having to get up according to someone else's schedule is that I can take that extra time to explore in the dream world.

I often have dreams that express a theme during my sleep time. This morning's early dreams had the theme of waking up. As I thought about the dreams experienced this morning, I decided to share them. Perhaps something will be triggered for someone else to 'wake up' to more of themself.

The first dream was actually kind of humorous. In it, I was lying in my bed but in a different setting than my home. I was aware of being in that kind of semi-awake place where one isn't fully asleep, but isn't fully awake either. You know that place where you hear and maybe even sometimes see what's going on, but you're not really engaged with it and the body is just there with the awareness kind of floating around observing.

For some reason in this dream, I was thinking about a previous dream I had had a couple of years ago where some kind of negative crab-like alien had entered my space. Then I saw some people who were all making the same kind of movements like in an exercise class. Everything was very automatic. It's like the being said “Do this. Do that.” and they did. I was in my bed watching them, and kind of snoring and laughing-not a loud laugh, just a kind of chuckle because it was humorous to watch how they just did what they were told without question. It was as if hearing myself snore was waking me up and I could see how I and so many others have been living on automatic pilot and just how silly we so often are.

The second dream had a lot more parts to it and it occurred just before I got up. First I heard someone (my dream self?) say that a certain tea had a pretty bad taste, but it was healing to drink it. Then I was in a setting where there were two displays of Egyptian rooms. Rooms isn't quite the right word, but I'm not sure just what to call them. I was aware that one space was supposed to be recessed below ground level and have water in it as it was meant to be a healing pond. I don't recall any special thoughts about the other setting I saw, but it was also Egyptian. Everything was decorated with brightly colored tiles with Egyptian markings and designs.

Then the whole scene changed and I was trying to walk forward but there was an elastic band around my ankles binding my legs together so I couldn't walk freely. It was kind of like the head bands people sometimes wear I bent down and removed the band-no more limitation on my ability to move.

Another change of scene and I was trying to climb up on the edge of a path or something that was about waste high. As I lifted my left leg, I got a cramp in my foot. This, to me, seems to be about the feminine aspect still feeling a little bit unsure about stepping forward.

Then, there was no scene of any kind, but a voice saying that I could be given a sign but that I couldn't take it. My sense is that the 'sign/omen' would be so profound, I wouldn't handle it well. So instead, I was shown the old simple magic trick of someone taking a coin from behind the ear of my dreamself. As I awoke, I had a definite sense of something magical and profound coming up relatively soon in my life.

So, why am I rambling on about these dreams? Well, I've recently had several messages and dreams about healing my body, but the dreams this morning feel the most profound in their energy. We are also not so far from the 12:12 gateway coming up in a couple of weeks. From what I've been reading this will usher in yet another profound shift in the energies of the higher dimensions and our ability to access and function in those energies. Our dreams can help us to prepare for these changes and I believe that when we pay attention to them, they can help to make it easier for us in our waking state to adapt to these changes.

Happy dreaming!
