A Dream of Learning to Expand into Love

I recently had a lovely dream about the steps and lessons along the way of life.

There were lessons at various stations/locations, teachings about how to live, how to communicate, about negotiation, kindness, sexuality, and other aspects of the way we navigate our lives.

There were other individuals along this trail, and some stations were difficult to reach, to navigate, and/or to understand.

One was in an auditorium or theater – with rows of seats – and had something to do with understanding and acceptance of various orientations and ways …of self and others.

One was in a beautiful natural setting that was difficult to find …and even to see or perceive.

I remember talking with another person about the challenges of reaching these locations …as we sat on the auditorium chairs …not realizing that we were IN a teaching place at the time.

The journey could be walking or riding or simply being somewhere.

It involved being open-minded and seeing/understanding.

One could go to a teaching station and completely miss the lesson.

It was a beautiful dream and I felt honored by the message and excited about the levels of understanding and connection that I am learning to choose …through experience, and through the beautiful lessons.

As I thought about the dream, I realized that there has been a shift in my sexual orientation – more focus on alignment with my husband than on our individual pleasure.

Then my mind went to the day before when my husband and I discussed the placement of a used rug he’d bought. I had brought it into the living room and placed where I thought it should obviously go. He came into the room a bit later and joined me on the couch …and within a few minutes he said he had envisioned the rug in a different orientation. I consciously resisted the usual path of overriding his ridiculous idea. This would have been my choice in the past – not saying it was ridiculous but pushing my vision as the right one. Normally he would give way to this tactic.

On this day, however, we discussed it for a while and then decided to try it the way he preferred. We worked on getting it just right, moving the coffee table and getting it just as he wanted it.

This is way out of character for me – or for a prior version of me.

Eventually he decided that it worked better the original way, but I didn’t control the situation …or control him as I would have tried to do in the past. (He is historically more flexible than I regarding that sort of thing.)

He also has been shifting his energy toward me. I am experiencing much more support and appreciation from him, and much less of a critical focus on my cooking and other aspects of our life together.

We are liking each other more and learning harmoniousness!

I suppose life IS a classroom, kind of like in my dream …if one pays attention and is open-minded.


I want to say, in closing, that I had been feeling that my recent focus on not judging others was a final step in becoming a person I feel good about being.

Now I realize there is no end!

There are SO many ways of living our lives that could expand and improve – kindness, generosity, open-mindedness, supportiveness, holding one’s tongue, and on and on.

I feel excited about this, and curious about what’s ahead.

I also want to remind the reader that I have come to believe that dreams are messages from one’s soul.

Two Dreams about Possibilities!

I shared two dreams with Lei Lei recently.

As I have stated in the past, I have learned that dreams are messages from my soul. Sometimes I have a sense of the message, and confirmation helps. Sometimes I don’t catch everything. I definitely needed help understanding the 2nd one in this post.

Here is our conversation:

In my dream, I was talking with close family members, and then I saw someone in my family who has a history of not getting along with others. They were right in front of me, and they leaned forward and screamed in my face, “You ………..” – angry and accusing words, something I did that upset them, or something they think about me. (I didn’t recall the words when I woke.)

And I calmly said, with love: Their name … and some kind of explanation or words that expressed my love for them.

It was a pretty cool dream. I have never managed to respond to this situation in that way with this person.

Yes, it is, and it’s a place where you have arrived …that someone could yell at you in your face and that you could speak calmly and lovingly to them in explanation of whatever it is that you want to say.

Well, it’s hard to imagine that I could actually do that, but I would love to do that, and I choose to do that.

I choose the ability to do that. I choose to move in that direction and towards that ability or into that ability, step into that ability. 

I step into that ability. Thank you so much. 

Then this morning, very early, I woke up before 4 and the dream was that I was watching TV, and the show took place in a bar. It was dark inside, and two guys were talking.

A short man presented in a humble, easy-going way …and low-key. He had a large backpack on, and he had a problem, which he explained to the hero, who is an attractive, a nice guy. 

The hero says “Hey, I can help you.” He offers to give him a ride somewhere. 

They go outside to the hero’s van. They are about to get in, and we see that the short guy has somehow set up a rope 3 inches thick under the car, with a very large hook just under the passenger door that he is presumably about to open to get into the van.

There was a trap of some sort and things were about to turn ugly …and scary.

I did not see that coming, and fear woke me. 

I felt in the “clutches” of the movie …as if I was riveted against my will. 

And this is an ability that you do have. It is not necessary for you to interfere when you see something that does not match up or that might indicate a negative intention on somebody else’s behalf. You have the ability to stay calm, and we are asking you to know this, to know that you have the ability to stay calm, because there are times coming that could bring forth fear within you, and your soul wants you not to react in that way. 

It’s not unrelated to the first message, because it’s jarring when someone screams in your face.

And whatever it is that comes along, that shows up, that has the potential of being fearful, you have the ability to not respond in fear. We are telling you this. We want you to consider this.

We want you to come to an ease with this. This is important for the coming times …to coast over the inclination to be frightened …and to simply be present and respond in the best way possible to whatever is presenting in front of you or near you or that you perceive.

Okay, thank you. 

This is good, and I will endeavor to bring myself to that place and to believe in my ability to simply hold my ground, my peaceful, trusting ground, that all is well. 

Would that make sense? 

Yes, that makes sense.

Okay, this is my work. Thank you very much.

I realized later that part of this ability would include simply turning aside. There is no need for me to engage with this type of scenario. Another choice is to envision a positive outcome.

I am choosing to believe that I have the ability to respond in a non-reactive way that brings benefit to all.

Dream of destruction (channeling)

From yesterday’s channeling session with Lei Lei:

I forgot to ask about my dream. It was pretty dramatic. It seemed to go on and on, but this is what I remember ….planetary destruction. I was on a boat, at least part of the time, or I was seeing a boat.

Everything was crashing. Everything was turning over itself. 

Everything was upheaval.

I wrote “terror” but actually, I don’t really remember feeling terrified. There was alarm …definitely intensity, alertness and focus …and it went on and on. 

Your soul is making you aware of that which is ahead. These things will be happening. There is no need for terror. There is nothing terrible happening. It is simply a shifting of the Earth. It is necessary, and everyone will be where they need to be, to be in the right place, to either leave the Earth at this time, or to fulfill a mission. 

Can you say whether my children will be sustaining their lives?

It seems that my children have had a good start for being people who can contribute to the future, even better than I can, because I did not have that good start. 

Thank you, Lele.

I am sharing this dream to assist others in moving toward an awareness that regradless of what occurs in our lives, it is aligned with our individual soul’s intention.

In my understanding and experience, death is not scary. We will all die at some point. It is the plan of Creator, and is part of the intention of our soul.

There is loss for those still living, but nothing to fear for the soul that leaves the physical realm. This soul is simply changing awareness and form.

And yes, I believe that a time of significant planetary change will come.
