Explanatory dreams

QUESTION: Masters, my recent spiritual focus has been on understanding enlightenment. I believe I have seen my soul essence, beaming in white-gold light during a meditation; however, this essence was at a bit of a distance. In a recent dream, it was the morning of my wedding day. I had the white dress but I had no white shoes (I thought my comfortable brown shoes would suffice) and my hands needed a manicure. I interpret this dream as I need more experience (the brown shoes) and need to create more (the manicure of my hands) but that my soul integration (wedding day) is close. Do you agree? Thank you! ~Sharon, USA

ANSWER: You have a very active set of guides, and like all guides given freedom, they love to have fun with you. Dreams are one of the easiest ways for non-physical assistants to be heard or seen by you. They speak in analogies. Along with the scenes you receive is an energy that is allowing you to also interpret what they are saying.

Your soul essence, which you have seen as a white-gold light, the purest of colors, also comes with a feeling. That sensation is one of unconditional love. What this part of your vision is telling you is that you possess unconditional love within you but you have not accepted that you can touch, use, and become that purity in your human form—or as we frequently say: you don’t love yourself enough.

The wedding is the uniting of your physical and non-physical, or spiritual, aspects. The brown shoes are the clinging to the physical, or third-dimensional, ego-based judgments. You need to get rid of judgment and turn to evaluations, seeing nothing as right or wrong but simply as being.

The manicure is finishing up the life lessons that are still hanging around as doubts and fears about your existence. As you see any of these around, ask why it is there and how you feel about it so you may understand it more fully. Your guides are letting you know how close you are, and they are encouraging you to take those last several steps to completion.
