Are There Hidden Truths In Dreams?

As I layed in bed tonight my brain was working feverishly to try to shed some light on this topic. To me dreams are so mysterious and awe striking at times. I have many dreams that I don’t feel like there was anything for me to understand. On the other hand, I have plenty of dreams that bring people or events into focus. That force my mind into high gear to see beyond the veil, and understand what they were there to show me. Most of these types of dreams tend to involve family members or someone that I have had or do have some kind of relationship with. Usually with the help of a few of the more “spiritually inclined” people in my life, we can successfully piece together what was being shown to me. Sometimes I believe they could have been experiences from a past life which is probably a whole novel in itself. Other times I feel like there is something else trying to show me something that I haven’t quite been able to understand in this life. This may not seem perfectly normal, but to me it does. I feel like your whole life is just a multitude of stages you progress through to free your mind.

Now I spent almost 5 years in my previous relationship that ended in January of 09′. Even though it didn’t exactly end the way I wanted it to at the time, I think that relationship was monumentally important in my life. Yes when it ended it was one of the hardest times in my life, but at the same time I feel like it was the key to opening the cage that had been trapping my mind for longer then I know. There’s no doubt in my mind the opening of that cage has enabled me to find something I think most people spend lifetimes trying to find. I wont get too in depth about that because that could also be another novel. Just know that it completely shifted my mind and way of thinking in a way I never would have expected. I wanted to give you a small overview of that part of my life before I delved into the topic of discussion.

For me personally, there is this reoccurring dream I have been having for a very long time. The dream is never exactly the same, but it always tends to be confusingly similar. There is one thing that remains constant in EVERY dream. The woman is always the same person (from the paragraph above). Now in all of these dreams except one we are together again and everything seems absolutely fine and then this wrench is always thrown in from out of no where and all of a sudden I’m being left all over again with the feeling of my insides being absolutely shredded to pieces.

Maybe there is more to the dream that I have not been able to remember up until this point. That seems like a very likely possibility of why I think they tend to reoccur. The one exception dream was different from those ones though. I was in some building within a busy city at some kind of counter. Now “she” walks up to the counter and says something and leaves, but it’s like she doesn’t recognize me. Now she was in just plain clothing like a t-shirt and jeans with her hair pulled up, nothing special and there was no color. I go outside to have a cigarette and drink a beer in front of the building. When I got down to the street I saw her go in another building. When she came out she had on a brightly colored dress with a combination of pinks and purples. Her long blonde hair was down and she was the only thing in color mind you. She was almost glowing with color. She walked right by me without noticing so I shouted to her after she had passed. She turns around and smiles at me like she does recognize me and says something along the lines of “Hey there!… I gotta run, but I’ll call you later or talk to you later”.. and that was it.

Now I’ve already broken that one down with someone that helped to explain some different view points to me. Mainly how she was in my life at one time and I knew her, but in no color or detail. Then at another point in time she stood out glowing with color in a world of black and white and she did know me. Possibly like I knew her in one lifetime, but she didn’t know me. And in another lifetime she did know me… and so on and so forth. That specific type was just a one time occurrence. The other one has occurred multiple times only the setting and the circumstances for her leaving change.

There’s a part of me that says there is no reason to dwell on this because you’ve already learned SO much from that relationship. The other part is telling me that this dream keeps being brought to my attention for a reason. There has got to be something there I’m not seeing that needs to be unlocked. I find that part of myself wanting that dream to happen again so I might be able to solve the riddle. No matter how difficult they may be to experience. I know when I wake up from them that I feel disoriented and confused. Like I just crossed the threshold between two worlds. Does this make you question and infinitely wonder about the meanings of events like these as much as it does me?

Some might just take the easy road and think that I have simply just not let her go… scattering all higher thinking to the wind. Knowing the type of person I am though I cannot simply disregard higher thinking and accept the so called easy road. I know in my heart and mind I no longer have any desire to be with her. There is a part of me that will always care for her. She was an important part of my life for a long time and a being that I chose to share that relationship with and gave myself to 100% the best I knew how. I don’t look at it as a failure or a mistake, even though I’m positive her way of thinking would only lead her to that conclusion. I chose that relationship to be the catalyst that freed my mind from the prison I never knew was there.

Take some time to think about some of the dreams that you have had recently. Could there be something your missing?.. Could there be something that you need your eyes opened to for endless benefits unknown to you in this life? I most certainly think there’s more then most people realize. It’s just a matter of your willingness to look beyond what your mind is being restrained to see. When I lay back down to go to bed I trust that what is shown to me is there to help and guide me. Casting out any negative thinking that it’s simply just something to torture me. Positive thinking is key TDI readers… and NEVER underestimate the power of your mind!
