GUIDANCE THROUGH DREAMS

Receiving Spiritual Guidance From Your Higher Self While Sleeping

I've gotten used to receiving spiritual guidance through dreams and keep a dream journal and pen by my bedside table. Anytime I wonder about a particular question regarding my life, I seek dream guidance. I write my question down prior to turning out my bedside lamp. I've come to fully trust that my request for clarity will be fulfilled upon waking. I'm rarely disappointed. When seeking guidance through dreams, it's extremely important to record your dreams immediately upon waking. I've found that waiting even a few minutes before doing this can cause the memory of the dream to disappear.

Guidance through dreams can alert us to the issues behind physical ailments. Recently I've been affected by certain physical ailments that I know have a cause rooted in certain personal emotional patterns. My doctor suspects the possibility of Lupus or some other auto-immune disorder as I've been experiencing severe migratory joint pain and have had a low blood platelet count for several years. Last night as I prepared for bed, I realized that I was also coming down with a cold. The only time I ever get a cold is when I'm particularly stressed. Clearly I required some guidance through dreams. Prior to sleep, I wrote the question in my dream journal, "what emotional patterns do I need to change in order to experience peak health."

Upon waking this morning, I recalled the following dream; My family was returning from a long trip and I was extremely excited to see them. I had many tasks, including several loads of laundry to finish before their arrival. As I hurriedly folded clothes, I cursed inwardly as I remembered that I'd also made plans with an acquaintance I'd run into earlier, to stop by her place for a glass of wine. It was something I really didn't have the time or desire to do. I had merely accepted her invitation to please her. clearly, her opinion of me had counted far more in that instance than my own feelings on the matter.

Amidst a whirlwind of activity, I dressed quickly and flew out to my car. As I pulled away and drove down the street, my family's car approached. I waved excitedly, but due to my prior engagement, which for some reason I felt incredibly compelled to honor, my reunion with my family would evidently have to wait. I felt angry, sad and resentful for not being able to do that what my heart most desired in that moment. I felt absolutely frantic to accomplish what I had intended and then to get back home to my family.

I bolted into a nearby liquor store. "It would be impolite to arrive at this woman's house without wine," I told myself. The shelves were near bare in the wine section. Over and over, I'd pick up what I thought was a bottle of wine only to read the words, "cognac" or "bourbon" on it's label. "No, No, hard liquor would be inappropriate," I said out loud.

I was told by the cashier that all their wine was temporarily out of stock. I became angered over the fact that employees had watched as I searched the racks for wine, and no one had thought to enlighten me to the futility of my actions.

I waited impatiently as an employee scoured the back of the store for a bottle of wine. At one point a lone bottle of Riesling was produced. "Is that the only kind you can find", I complained. "I can't drink that kind of wine, it's far too sweet. It give me migraines." I became enraged. I ranted and raved, "how can you run a liquor store without keeping up your orders?" I could feel my blood pressure rising. I was absolutely incredulous over the fact that they had run out of wine and I wanted to make darned sure that they all knew the wasted time and huge inconvenience they had caused me.

For the remainder of the dream, I stayed in that store berating the owner and employees. I continued to become more and more angry. I knew that each moment I spent there was taking me away from my hearts desire of being able to re-unite with my family. Oddly, I was still sticking with the plan of stopping by this woman's house for a glass of wine. I knew that before I did so, I'd have to first find another liquor store that sold wine. Still, there I stood, feet rooted to the floor, yelling in futility.

Upon waking, I noticed that I still felt angry as I recorded the dream in my journal. I chuckled at my dream self's stubborn, inflexible behavior. As I attempted to make a connection between the previous night's question and my dream, it quickly became very clear. I had received guidance through dreams, as requested.

My physical ailments are a result of stubborn, ingrained and futile behaviors I've been practicing. My refusal to move on when I'm facing negative circumstances that are beyond my immediate control, causes unnecessary emotional and physical dis-ease. By continuing to berate the store employees within the dream, I was demonstrating how in waking life I often anchor myself further into negative circumstances by refusing to accept them. In the dream, I could have saved myself a lot of grief if I had simply accepted the situation as it was and moved forward towards the intention of spending time with my family.

It was also clear that by accepting invitations to do things that I really do not want to do, merely to make another happy, I'm honoring a false priority within myself. To place the needs of others before my own means that I value their opinion of me over my opinion of myself. This is no way to live life.

Sometimes we will choose to sacrifice our immediate desires for something or someone. However, this should only be done to honor an intention that reigns higher than that immediate need. For example; I may choose to spend time with my child even though I had plans to indulge myself in some reading. As my intention to have a good relationship with my child is a priority over my need to read in that moment, the choice to spend time with my child is clearly the one to honor.Acquiescing to a request from an acquaintance merely because I know that she'll like me better if I do, is not a valid course of action in terms of honoring my highest intentions. Doing so for many of us has merely become a patterned and conditioned response.

When we do such things merely to please others and influence their opinion of us, we become resentful. Resentment is something that causes all of us much emotional and physical dis-harmony.

I believe amongst other things, the guidance I received through this dream is alerting me to the fact that my highest priority is to spend time with my family, yet I continue to allow other less important activities to infringe upon this important one.

In short, the answer I gleaned from the guidance dream is this; I'm currently spending time doing unnecessary things for reasons that do not serve my highest intentions. These things are adding unnecessary strife to my life. I'm also getting mired in the negativity of certain events rather than choosing to simply accept them and move forward towards the desires I'm interested in manifesting. Attention to negativity begets more negativity. While I absolutely know this to be true, living it in every moment requires some work!

There are also a couple of symbols within the dream that have not escaped my attention. "No wine" can be construed as a message from my higher self to "stop whining" over negative occurrences beyond my control. And the scene where I declare that "wine that is too sweet gives me headaches," is demonstrating how my beliefs that I must be "sweet" to everyone that I meet is causing me health issues, in particular, migraine headaches! Rejecting the cognac and bourbon on the premise that "hard liquor" would be inappropriate is a reflection of an ingrained belief that speaking up and saying no will brand me as being "hard" emotionally, something that I obviously have a problem with.

Interestingly enough, the cold I felt coming on last night seems to have disappeared completely and I'm enjoying my first joint-pain-free day in months! It would seem that the recognition of these emotional patterns results in an almost immediate reversal of their effects.

Dreams are capable of providing great clarity on issues involving our every day waking life, our physicality, emotionality and spirituality. Receiving Guidance through dreams is a wonderful way to get to the nuts and bolts of a personal issue. If you get into the habit of taking a few moments prior to sleep to "program" your dreaming process, you'll be amazed at all your dreams will reveal.

Receiving Guidance through dreams becomes easier and easier with practice. After a few weeks of asking questions prior to sleep and recording any dreams remembered upon waking, you'll be successfully receiving guidance through dreams on a regular basis.

Receiving guidance through dreams is a wonderful way to get to the heart of any problem or issue. When we ask for guidance through dreams, our higher self is more than happy to accommodate. All we need to do is to pay attention and listen.
