“When A Dream Isn’t Just A Dream”

September 28, 2021 Lynne Taylor

Have you ever had the kind of a dream that while you were still within the dream, you knew it wasn't just a "normal dream" but something else? Some type of communication from some other realm of consciousness? A message, someone or something trying to communicate to you? I have such dreams from time to time, and when I awake from these dreams, they linger with me for quite a while; I'm often left a little unsettled by them. I think it's important not to overthink them, keep my mind out of them as much as possible, and just remember the feeling from the dream because that's where the message is. I need to know something that comes through to me in these types of dreams, and when I'm in the dream, the message is unambiguous. I am a person who is always trying to understand things and people on some type of a deeper level than just the everyday "normalcy" of life interactions. I look at and see the world with a more detailed view; it's like I can see many layers of a situation, even people; I can see their intentions and deeds. Odd, perhaps, but it's perfectly normal to me. I have been this way for as long as I can remember. Many times in life, I have had dealings with people that made absolutely no sense to me, and no explanation was ever offered or attempted in the conscious state to my satisfaction but was cleared up perfectly through a dream. When I have these "different" dreams, I am clearly aware that they are not common. It's so real; I'm actually there with the person. It's as if in unconsciousness, we can connect on this level; during this dream state, it's pure, one soul to another able to honestly communicate with one another. In the everyday state of consciousness, the ego and other limitations interfere with people being honest with one another. Thus inflicting unnecessary wounds upon one another. The ego is an evil, cowardly, warped little thing that blinds and binds the purest souls from connection with one another authentically; and passing down the wounds, scars, and sins from generations past. But sometimes, the souls find a way to bypass the ego and heal the deformities of one's inability to communicate. If the feelings are strong enough, they find a way to bleed through despite any interference; ego be damned!
