Dreams and reality
QUESTION: Masters, a couple years ago I chose to end a well-paid corporate career in search of a more fulfilling lifestyle, unsure how that might take shape. Not long after, I had a series of vivid dreams that pointed to the possibility of a huge change in life. In each dream, I received a large “windfall” for a personal accomplishment, met with overwhelming feelings of gratitude. They inspired an idea I had to write a memoir based on a personal experience I had written in journals about, something I thought others could relate to and find healing from. Long story short, the book is now in the final editing stages before I send it out into the world. I’m wondering if those dreams were in fact speaking of the success/change that may come from writing it since it would literally be a “miracle” if it were to happen. ~Heidi, United States
ANSWER: You did not do enough research into possible directions before you pulled the plug on your prior career. Once out in the world, your thoughts traveled the paths and byways of change. Because you spent your day exploring different lifestyles, your mind assisted by using the sleep cycle to provide additional prospects.
Is it any wonder that after leaving corporate America, you would go through a huge change unless you returned to a similar employment? Anything that wasn’t in the same vein was going to be vastly different. Corporate life is the ultimate thinking and manipulative world; a fulfilling lifestyle normally involves a feeling connection to others.
Your unconscious did not want you to think of your departure as a failure, so it set up a parameter of wealth, a huge windfall, as being a facet of the future. (A windfall is something that comes without work, without earning it.) Since the desire was for something fulfilling, the pattern was one of recognized success hugely appreciated by others. These are self-fulfilling dreams if you strive to achieve them. Now it is time to manifest what you feel will accomplish what you have dreamed.
No one can predict the future because there are too many variables. As with anybody, whenever you are involved in a project, whatever you say or do has an influence on the outcome. Will the right people needed to promote your book see it? Will you be able to turn the book into a series of lectures or programs that will help others and fulfill your needs? Do you truly believe your story is inspirational enough to help others find their way? It’s time to work on turning those dreams into your reality.
