Dreaming into Knowing

Sometimes we all just need a good talking to. And who better to give us the alignment we need than another part of ourselves? That’s what we do in our dreams: a wiser part of us shows the not-so-smart part of us what we are doing that is risky or inappropriate. As we have said, we are all the characters in our dreams, so it’s important to notice who is right, and who is wrong, and discover which part of us has the wisdom today.

John: And then, in this next dream, it starts off where I keep having to remove things from a surface so that another person can lift up the top and look inside. It’s kind of like things on top of something, and then you can lift it up, and open it up.

I do this a number of times, clear off the top of the surface, and each time it gets easier. And, in the end, I’m able to clear it off really quickly because I have developed a familiarity in doing so.

And then what this is about, in terms of a type of letting go, shifts, in that I’m coming around a curve with my car and I pass a cop car, that’s also on the curve going the other direction, that is in the shape of a souped-up sports car. I mean, this cop car just slides around the corner, more or less kind of skids past me in the other direction.

So I’m able to note, as this happens, that he motions for me to slow down. However, from my perspective, it is him that is going too fast. But that doesn’t mean that he isn’t going to act like he can get away with that in his righteousness and might come after me, or something.

So I drive up the road a bit because it’s kind of a windy mountain road there, not an easy stretch where you can see for great distances. And so I find a turn off onto a roadway – initially is quite improved. So I turn off on it, but it only takes me a short distance, and then I have to kind of go up a hill, and there’s rubbish and stuff, and when I go up there, then I can get the car out of sight.

Well, I can’t drive the car, so I carry the car up the hill. And I have to go through fence barriers and stuff like that, that are very strange, one after another. At some point I apparently got the car out of sight, and put it down, but continued going through those barriers. Until, to my surprise, I’m at a building, a very old building. It looks like it’s abandoned, who would be way up here?

So I open the porch door and I walk in. And then I have to go through another door that still isn’t the main part of the building – it’s almost like another porch-like area or something, only this part is real dark. And before my eyes can adjust, I hear the sound of a family coming.

And so as they’re coming into the porch, I meet them before they come back into the main house. It’s not really the main house, it’s stepping into the ante porch, or whatever. And as they come in, I say, “I just got here.” And the husband says, “You must have heard us coming.”

And I say, “I didn’t get a chance to look around, yet.” And the husband looks at me, at this point realizes that something isn’t right as I’m shuffling to leave. And he says, “Sometimes you have to ask for permission.”

So, the meaning is, in my flaunting about with my investments, the one thing I have not looked at is if I have permission to veer off in such a way. The first image indicates I am not ready because I haven’t cleared away all that needs to be let go of.

The main dream indicates that I am pressing too much, and, in doing so, have gotten beyond barriers in what seems to be a premature surprise. In other words, it’s like I’ve advanced with what I’m doing and whatnot, I’ve broken through some things, and that can lead to a certain kind of presumption.

But also a premature surprise, in that what I have accessed and reached almost is too early, or too quick, or almost as if uninvited. It’s as if I just took it on, on my own, and everything has to do with timing, and the spaciality of things, as was shown in the previous dream, so I just need to be able to know how to take a step back. What I have done is a bit disruptive at this time. My timing is off.
