Yesterday we heard the sentiment, in regards to the changing times we find ourselves in: the familiar is not going to help you. This dream image takes the idea a step further, showing us that what we see around us is starting to crumble, with something new being built to take its place. And that’s why it’s so important to find our balance and stability inside of us, because the aspects of life that could be counted on, for generations, will no longer hold true. The outer is changing, which makes the inner our only safety. (At the end of this post there are instructions and a link to download this recording to your computer.)
John: I should probably do my last dream first because it is similar in its loudness to your dream.
In my last dream, I am finding that today at 11 o’clock in the morning I have to go to my first class at a kind of old university that I’m attending. The buildings are all built out of very old stone so it’s an old, old university. I’m not looking at my directions to where this classroom is at because, somehow or another, deep inside I have this sense of familiarity but I don’t know where I get that. It’s a little bit bodacious to function strictly off of this inner sense.
But that’s what I find myself doing, and I have no time to change that because I’m suddenly late. I glance at the watch and I’m ten minutes late, and I just have to go across the street, up a little bit, into this particular building that I can even see in the distance. And there’s a classroom in there, even though I have no memory of being there before, I sense it in my bones as something that is familiar to me somehow, and that’s why I didn’t go to the trouble of laying out the directions and blueprint to it all.
So, as I proceed to do this, I go outside and suddenly I’m staring at this huge rock wall in front of me. And there’s a woman and a boy that’s with her and as I glance at this for a second almost like mesmerized by looking at this wall, it starts to crumble a little bit. The woman assures the boy not to worry, it’s been here for a long, long time. Nothing’s happening; that’s just insignificant.
And it crumbles more. And then suddenly it collapses and I brace myself to jump back thinking I’m going to get hit by a wall of water, because what was this wall there for other than maybe to safeguard the city from maybe a wall of water or something. But instead what I see is wide open skies and that we are on a high mountaintop, and the valley floor is far, far below.
But then I come out of this intensity, because it’s pretty intense, what’s going on here. Everything is intense because I’m supposed to go somewhere and be somewhere, and I tend to be very responsibly oriented, and so this is bothering me because I’m twisted, and bewildered, and turned around. And then when I turn around to look at this building that I should be going back to find my class in, it’s under construction. It’s not like it had been before, an old, old building. It’s like a shell or something but it is under construction.
And it’s at that point in time I have to drop the intensity that I carry of how it is that I need to be somewhere that is familiar to me in some fashion that I can’t put my finger on. I have to drop that completely because it’s just not going to be happening. And I have to, somehow or another, adapt or catch my breath to where it is that I now find myself in that the world that I am in is all being reformed. That the old familiar that I had been holding onto, that I had been feeling secure with, this wall, has crumbled down, and that everything about this old city that I see when I turn around to look at the building, is under redesign. I mean there is somewhat of a familiarity. My mind is creating somewhat of a familiarity in that the outline of the structures are still there, but it’s being rebuilt. That’s the dream.
So what do you think it means? I mean it’s as intense as yours. I was like forcing myself. It was hard to stay asleep it was so intense.
So this is a dream in which I am in a state of confusion. I am unable to catch up with a vaguely familiar inner knowingness, in other words the classroom and whatnot. I can’t catch up with that anymore. I mean I still carry that. I mean that’s been part of my motif, is some innerness waking up.
My confused predicament is taking me to an extreme such that I am not able to stand or handle the bewilderment sensation. My answer to that is I am feeling I should know better, but be that as it is, of course, this is all unimportant because it is all about to change. A wall that exists is coming down, and now is the time when this is destined to happen.
In the dream there was a woman that was standing there and she told her boy not to worry, this has been here forever, and nothing was really going to change. But when this wall comes down, what I suddenly now see is no longer a familiar scenario and, as a consequence, I realize that this isn’t about getting memory to check in, like my classroom or whatever, the situation now is going way beyond that. So I can forget about an inner connection responsibility I was thinking to be important because what I am about to find is that the old city and its ways are under construction.
This dream is suggesting that what is really behind my bewilderment is beyond any memory or comprehension I know, and before I was thinking that I knew that I had an idea of where things were going. I am being shown that I haven’t a clue as to what lies in store, and that I am going to be finding myself in a new place that is under design. The change is so dramatic that, try as I might, I will have a hard time making out what was before. And, as a consequence, an image like this makes me feel real silly inside for thinking I had some idea before of where it was I needed to go, or steps I needed to take to relearn what I already know.
