A Listening Experiment

Continuing on with the listening theme - have you ever considered your dreams? Those little movies that run while you're sleeping. I've heard a lot of different thoughts about what they mean, why we have them, interpreting them, etc and I've never really paid attention; with one glaring exception. That one dream which puts you into a stressed out state - falling - flying - having to make a public speech - walking down the street naked - or in my case I'm in college and it's time for my final exams but I have not cracked a book all term UGH! Over the years I've realized I have that dream when I feel stressed out and behind in some area of my life. So now I know when that dream shows up it's time to do a little prioritizing and time management.

But why college? I'm not there - and haven't been for a long time. I think it's the feeling. The feeling I would get in that situation is the same one I am creating in my daily life. The dream shows up because I am focused on feeling that same way.

So I think I'm going to start paying closer attention to the way my dreams make me feel . Maybe I can identify areas of my life that are going great and seeing areas I can choose to improve with more positive thoughts, choices and actions. I'll let you know what happens.
