Dream a Little Dream

By John Holland

Have you ever had a dream you didn’t understand? What if that dream is trying to give you guidance with a current situation that you’re experiencing in your life now? Your dreams are a wonderful resource to use in all areas of your life. Your subconscious constantly speaks to you in subtle ways, especially through your dreams. It’s just one of the many ways that your soul can forge that powerful connection and speak to you. We all dream to some extent every night, even if we’re not able to remember the dream the next morning.

We remember some of our dreams with great clarity, but when we try to interpret them, there are some that we struggle to figure out, and there are others that just slip away as soon as the day starts. If you’re not working in partnership with your dreams, then you’re missing out on a great resource for helpful advice, guidance, and direction.

I’ve taught myself to acknowledge and listen to my dreams. For example, some years ago I had this dream that I still remember: One time I had a big decision to make and was confused on what direction I should take, or if I should even proceed forward. That evening I had a dream I was standing at the edge of a river bank and I was concerned about how fast the current was moving and worried that I might get swept away in the water if I proceeded to cross to the other side. After standing there for quite some time, the river began to slow down and suddenly the water receded, and I was able to cross the river safely.

This particular dream really related to what was going on in my life. I was struggling to make a hard decision that I needed to make and was confused about what direction to take. My dream of the river was the representation of my emotions that I was experiencing, because I didn’t know how to handle the decision that I needed to make.
