Good Counsel

CriWe have seen chase dreams with narrow escapes, and images where everything is coming together just as needed. So, if we are all the characters in our dreams, what do those two opposite experiences say about us? That we’re complicated, and that we have many pieces that really just want to be part of one thing. Yet to get there, we sometimes have to chase and catch, we sometimes have to woo, we sometimes have to invite in politely. In other words, some parts of us are more wounded or wary than others, and bringing them in from their separate or alienated state is something our dreams are trying to help us do.

Jeane: So, as the dream continues, I go to a counseling office where I’m starting work and the clients I have scheduled, at a certain time, don’t show up – and I’m somewhat concerned. One of them does phone, I think it’s a very brief phone call, or maybe there was just a message left, because I can tell that it’s not just one man but it’s two, that they’ve been traumatized maybe by war, and they drink, or do something. And I do want to get them into the office to be seen, but they’re very suspicious of coming into any agency, or working with anyone. I can’t even get the one to talk to me.

And I’m kind of pondering all that because I was working in the office and doing paperwork, but it feels like I don’t really see any clients that day and I’d had them scheduled, but they didn’t show up.

So I leave there and I go somewhere else, and when I’m at this other building one of the two of them shows up. The other one I feel like is out in the hallway somewhere, and I’m able to have a bit of a dialogue with him and set it up so they will come in. And I want him to bring his friend in for regular counseling, but I’m also explaining that if they come to counseling they have to come to counseling sober, you know at least for that time, because otherwise it’s like if you’re drinking you just retain what you learned when you’re drinking. You’d forget it when you got sober.

I’m trying to explain a little bit to them. and I’m trying to get him to get his friend through his paranoia about coming in to any room, or any agency, and getting it set up for them to come in. And I know that in some ways when they do come in they’d want to overwhelm you with how long they’d want to be there, and so I’m also trying to set some limits that there’s only so much you can take in at one time, you know, that we would have to have time limited appointments. It just feels like I’m trying to explain to them how that works.

John: So you’re describing the process in which you come to understand that there is a means of moving around, this moving around – which is really inside of yourself, but you see it as over a distance and such – upon which you can come to catch up with a deeper aspect, or essence, of what is real, or what the realness is.

And you tend to be inclined to viewing it as something that you access, or aspire to accessing, as opposed to it just being naturally there inside of yourself to be reached, or discovered, or unveiled, or unfrozen, or whatever the capacity is that one does, to justify sitting in an amnesia.

You then progress this to the point where you’re looking at parts of yourself that you need to somehow cater to, that you need to somehow or another assist or to help, that you need to somehow or another embrace. That it’s not sufficient that you take and have a depth that you can reach, or find, inside of yourself – it is meaningless unless it is something that can go and touch, and reach, all parts of yourself that are still astray.

And, of course, these are parts of yourself that you see need to take a step forward: that they need to show up for guidance, for counseling, for help. But then you come to realize that these parts of yourself that don’t show up, to the degree to which you’re not taking and closing the gap, that it’s not that easy, that you have to proceed to that, you have to go out of your way to touch that, to find that, and that when you do you’re bringing something together at the same time. That’s why it’s said that a teacher finds the student and, of course, this applies on a lot of levels.

Well, in your dream, that is kind of what you’re doing when you take and realize that you can get off of a certain pedestal and go and find, seek out, reach out to the parts of yourself that aren’t showing up. In other words, yes, you can take a position where you can expect it to come, but that doesn’t always work in that there are times when you have to reach out in order to touch something. And that’s why it is said that, it may look different, but the teacher being a proper teacher is actually selecting or going to the student. You know, it’s not that the student is clamoring to the teacher. That’s an illusion. It’s the teacher that’s making the accommodations always for the student.

That principle, if you were to sum it up in a word, for it to be effective it has to be invisible, or otherwise the student might get to thinking that there is something going on that’s important in terms of themselves, or something, and go off into a head trip or something on a spiral. So the teacher is most effective if they follow the principle; in other words, having the means and the ability to love without leaving traces. And that’s half of it. The other half, of course, which applies in a different way, is to fly without leaving a shadow.

So your dream, when you put that whole thing together, shows that you’re meant to have a means to connect to something deep, deep, deep inside and you just need to come to know that that is a wholeness that comes from you, you don’t go seeking it out somewhere. And when you catch up with that, recognized that way, then you exude it into the environment. You don’t expect the environment to change to your predilection. You exude it into however and wherever you put your attention.

It’s kind of like your pleasure to do that because you found it in the whole. You realize that it’s all the whole, and you realize that there isn’t two things going on, so you touch in that fashion, naturally, which is the principle of loving without leaving traces, flying without leaving a shadow, a shadow of some separation or something being kind of the motif behind it all. It’s not that behind it all. There are no shadows. It is just one thing, and one thing only, having a relationship with itself.

And so you took and you went from a kind of overtness, a kind of separation, or distinction, where something is expected to come just because you are still somewhat linked to the idea that you have to go somewhere in order to learn something. Therefore if you’re counseling that something has to come to you – instead of realizing that you are able to do this constantly, as opposed to conditionally.

A Different Approach

We often see the resistance we are putting up, inside, when we experience the feeling of being chased in a dream. What we are trying to escape from is often a deeper connection between inner aspects, or we are avoiding making a brand new integration that scares us for some reason. In this dream we also see the outcome of such an integration: a new ability to utilize an inner power to move forward in a different way. (At the end of this post there are instructions and a link to download this recording to your computer.)

Jeane: As far as I remember about any dreams I had closer to morning, I think they were just about the headache I had, almost like how to work with it or something. I don’t remember that as well. 

But I had this dream and image last night and, in that image, I’m in this black buggy being pulled by a horse. It feels like there’s a young boy or young man in there with me, too, I don’t quite see clearly. And we’re being pursued and trying to get away – even maybe being shot at. 

And then the horse shakes off the traces that are pulling the buggy and goes down the road a bit, it stops in the middle of the road. And now it’s quite bright out. And then the horse goes down there and then he turns around; it’s a red horse, a roan horse. And I go up to the horse and it agrees for me to place a rope in its mouth, just like taking a bit, and I get the rope and I get on its back. 

And it’s fine so far, but then when the man, or the boy, that had been in the buggy with me comes out and gets on the horse, too, the horse at first slumps down like it’s maybe all too heavy for it. But then it gets up. And then we seem to get away, even though someone’s chasing us. And I have a sense that we’re okay. 

And then it’s almost like after all this is happening I see a flash of the boy that had been with me and I see that he’s on a train. He hitchhiked a ride on this train, is my feeling. And there’s this white camel that has come and it’s kind of laying outside the car he’s in and maybe even stuck his head through the glass, like it can pass its head through glass. So it can stick its head in the compartment where he’s hitched this ride for wherever he’s going, like, he’s just going to go on to the world or something. And that was the dream. 

John: So the dilemma that gets this going on multiple levels has to do with getting beyond a complaint. And the complaint is that something is too much. And when you get beyond the complaint of something being too much you actually can travel to other levels, you can actually take in other levels. 

So there’s a pressure on you. In terms of the pressure, and because it’s a horse, a horse represents power, and there’s a way of surrendering to the power, or going with the power. And that if you don’t it’s too much for you, or you have the sense that it’s too much – the power, all of that that’s going on is too much. 

Each of those things is trying to break through. I mean, you’re starting off in kind of an oppressed state, you’re starting off in a scenario in which the situation around you is not something that’s balanced. In other words, the flow is constrained. As you gain some sort of distance against whatever it is, and try to catch up with yourself, then it’s as if something is too much. That can be like a type of exhaustion. 

The key is to go into this stuff, you go into what you experience inside, kind of eagerly, not feeling like the whole thing is a bit too much. Or, otherwise, you’re accepting an exhaustion, or you’re seeing it as exhaustive, instead of seeing it as an unfolding process. I mean, this continues, you have level after level. This is like the first step. The first step was the whole sensation of something that is pursuing you or oppressing you. And that when you gain a bit of a reprieve from that, you’re then required to shift and break through and not be in a situation where you can’t quite catch your power, catch up with the power, as if something is too exhausting. Because this is just the beginning, there’s more to come.

So the boy goes into the future, that’s an image where something comes into its own. Something comes into its own and there’s a connection that’s made, and it’s able to travel. And as you said it had a whole futuristic sense to it. The other was like the precursor to it. It was like something that built up to a crescendo and then the whole thing is about something able to approach life differently. 

So, in the first part of the dream, you are oppressed as a woman, as the feminine, and not able to take on the masculine at the same time. And in the second part of the dream the masculine is complete. The boy is able to free-flow and has a rapport with his nature, which is more than just power. I wonder what a camel stands for; it’s probably like another sort of power, but in a different disciplined way. 

It’s like being able to venture anywhere: on the train, with the camel. It’s like another realm. So the horse progresses to a camel, and you catch up with a purified camel, not one that spits and carries on and acts up. One that’s well-trained, one that does the bidding, that’s merged with its owner. That’s attentive to its owner.

Making the Linkage

Things always seem to move very slowly before they start to move too fast. When something new is introduced into our interior lives, whether through an energetic connection, or an inner awakening, new energies are released – and that’s when things seem to speed up. And that’s because there are a dozen other aspects of us that want to know right now what’s going on, and to know how it might affect them, or to know if they even approve of what is happening. Sometimes what is new needs to be protected from all that noise and drama so it has a chance to find its footing within us. (At the end of this post there are instructions and a link to download this recording to your computer.)

Jeane: Well, I had kind of a strange dream; I wish I could pull more of it out, but I can only remember parts of the last dream. And in this last dream it feels like there’s a man and myself, who are scientists, I might even be the man – it’s very unclear here. And it’s almost like whatever we had invented, other people wanted to use or misuse, and it’s really not fully developed yet. 

So we had kind of run away and gone to an area where we could be and just study what the changes were. And I know part of those changes at one point is we have these little people that we’re developing, and right now they were just a couple inches tall, then maybe they would go back in the water. It was almost like working with Tinkerbell or something. And they were continuing to evolve and growing yet, and we wanted them to have the space to do that while everyone left them alone. 

And in the cafeteria at this place, it felt like we also kind of met with some people that were still developing – because sometimes they would disappear. And then someone from the agency, who had discovered part of what we were working with but didn’t know how it fully came together yet, because everyone thought that we had become unbalanced, maybe we needed to be locked away, or they didn’t know what we knew because we were hiding from them how far we had gotten with it. 

He had discovered something similar and came to us, and we didn’t know if he was coming to us to try to see knowledge or rob knowledge, so I had wanted to introduce him to two people that we were working with that we discovered there, but they disappeared when he showed up. And stuff spilled all over the table and I was having to clean it up. Then I saw him go to lock the door, so obviously he’s trying to lock out the forces that want to rob everything, but whether he’s completely on our side I don’t know. 

And then I can kind of glance over and see if the two little beings we put in the water have somehow discovered each other and are learning how to merge something. Don’t even know how it works yet. And then I seem to be going back in my mind and I’m looking at the people, like right before this I had been studying people and seeing that people were putting things together, but they were always leaving something out. They were trying, but there was just something that we were doing that they were leaving out. 

And I was trying to see, would this be helped if we went over and told them step by step how to do it, or what was going on? Why was that happening? And in the process of trying to figure that out, it’s like I go down to a movie theater and I see something written about it, that maybe in the movie theater they’re going to be showing something that’ll give us a clue to what’s going on. It was a strange dream.

John: It was repeating the same thing over and over again, which had to do with being able to catch up with something from within. But it’s more than just catching up with it from within, it’s also being able to etherically listen, etherically have the language, which is another way of saying that there is a vibration that can take and influence the way things unfold, and can affect matter, and can affect the environment and the surroundings. 

Because it works that way, that’s why things don’t necessarily need to complete. But a human being is used to doing all the building blocks, and their mind is caught in thinking it has to work that way. But in many cases, stuff like this can be inflected. And then, when it’s inflected, you can let go and the change and the unfoldment is naturally there. 

Now it’s not there rationally or logically, because rationally and logically, again, we think we’ve got to go from one to 10. But when you’re working on something that is on an etheric level, you can skip all kinds of things, because once you make the linkage it’s just kind of automatic. It’s kind of like first there has to be the connection, the physical connection or something. And then once that physical connection is made, then the rest of it can be inflected. 

And so what you were doing is you were going from one inflection to the next inflection to the next inflection. You’re used to following a prescribed modality, but when you’re working with vibrations from within, and connecting to everything that way, in other words because you’re intertwined and connected to everything you can do that, then it’s not something that is able to be followed by most people. And it’s baffling to yourself to be doing this over and over and over and over again inside yourself and, of course, when you try to understand it literally you miss it, but you’re repeating it over and over and over and over inside of yourself to try to shake through the memo. This is what you’re now doing.
