Choosing A Path Through My Dream
Dear Dyan:
I have been lost spiritually for years now and have been looking for inner peace since my last miscarriage 9 months ago. I am afraid that I have chosen my spiritual path through my dream and do not fully understand all the implications. In my dream, I was with a group of women that felt like friends. We were celebrating some thing in a hotel. We were sliding on a water bed and decided to go an indoor pool. I was in the water alone when an elderly man asked my belief in god. I replied no thank you, I choose the middle path. The water level dropped half down. In my dream I thought this is weird and I looked down and see my hand toiling a string in the water and making the string move in snake like movement. I felt like I was content with it. Does this dream sound like I am walking farther from God? Please help, Dear Dyan.
Hello Dear K:
There is a lot of symbolism in this dream. There is a lot going on here. Yes, it does seem as if you are walking further from God. But it’s not just that. The water here symbolizes life and it’s as if you’re walking away from your life. You’re living half of your life, but you may seem content with that on the surface. The water also symbolizes the miscarriage, the loss of half the water (as life), and the hotel symbolizes being away from “Home.”
It seems as if there is some kind of fear of believing in God or believing in the spiritual side of things even though you are a spiritual being. It’s as if you don’t want to believe or accept that part of you because you’re angry and don’t want to believe in a God that may disappoint you or has disappointed you, or that you may disappoint by feeling that you can never measure up to some required perfection.
Examine why you are spiritually “lost.” When exactly did that start? And then examine your concept of “God.” What we have here is the illusion of separation. Examine who taught you the concept of “God” and examine your own current belief system about God. Try to embrace the spiritual part of yourself, not as something separate from who you are, but as part of who you are. Clearly, you are guided and protected, even if it does not seem so to you. It’s true. We do get to choose our path, and we never walk it alone.
Angel Peace and Blessings to you as you rediscover yourself,
Dyan
