Dreams are answers to questions we haven't yet figured out how to ask.  ~X-Files

All the things one has forgotten scream for help in dreams.  ~Elias Canetti

Dreams are only thoughts you didn't have time to think about during the day.  ~Author Unknown

A dream which is not interpreted is like a letter which is not read.  ~The Talmud

Dreams are illustrations… from the book your soul is writing about you.  ~Marsha Norman

A dream has power to poison sleep.  ~Percy Bysshe Shelley, "Mutability"

Dreaming permits each and every one of us to be quietly and safely insane every night of our lives.  ~William Dement

Dreams are today's answers to tomorrow's questions.  ~Edgar Cayce

Do you ever wake up in the mornings and wonder what your dreams meant? Do you even remember your dreams?  I often thought about my dreams but lately, I would just lie in bed for awhile and try and remember details about it. I try to write it down because I know that one of these days, I will be able to find out its significance. I found a website that sort of translates your dreams into supposed reality. What I did learn from a book that someone is reading is that you can't just translate dreams in the context of the things or objects you dream of. you have to translate it as a whole, with the whole scenario playing in your head. Sometimes the objects, person or animals you dream of, are actually YOU! I dreamt yesterday of a lot of dogs, and puppies, and I had to feed them, and one particular puppy badly needed water. What could that mean? I already have an idea and will work on that. That was just 1 scene. On the same night, I also dreamt of mangoes and that they fell off from my truck. Had to walk back to grab all of them again, and came across mangoes that were perfect on the outside, but hollow on the inside. Others were perfectly half-ripe and half rotten. What could that be about? Im speculating that it could be about opportunities out there. some may pose to be great but will leave me hollow on the inside. Others would be rewarding on one end, and yet leave me deprived on the other. 

As of recent, my dreams, though not recurring, always refer to the same thing. Untapped talents, skills I have forgotten or haven't been harnessing or opportunities I have not grabbed. And I know that! I am conscious of it all. Why? Fear! fear of the unknown. As Jim Paredes sent in an email to me yesterday,"what would you do if you weren't afraid?" Damn! Endless list! What have I got to lose anyway? Everything is already great, nay, amazing, as it is. Things will only get better from here on. I can not imagine what that could be like because I am already currently loving and am extremely grateful for the state I am in. Not to say that I am going to sit in my laurels and just relax! Nah! But to become even more aggressive……If only I wasn't afraid.

Live in the now! I had a long talk with Jim on this one, the last day of our workshop. LIVE IN THE NOW!!! There is no point in reliving the past, or living in the past because you end up living it twice. There is even no point in allowing the pains of the past to rule your life now. You also can not worry about the future! It's not even here yet! And your worries may never happen. You keep thinking about it, and it just might. Why? Because you attract with your thoughts. What you think of the most, is exactly what you will attract. What you will get. Keep thinking about what you don't want and that is what you will end up with. Why not think about, WHAT YOU WANT INSTEAD?!
