I’ve posted a few times about my attempts to start listening more to my instincts and apparent abilities, as they are never wrong. Even had a recent reminder of that.
Last night, I had a weird dream. And not in that normal kind of way.
Personally, I’m at a crossroads in life right now. I’ve been letting go of a lot that has held me back over time so I can focus on remaining and new goals. It’s been a long year or so setting up the dominos, so to speak.
Last night, I swear I woke up and couldn’t get back to sleep. But according to my Fitbit, I was sleeping the whole time I felt I was awake. It clocked an REM cycle of 92 straight minutes.
The dream contained appearances or mentions of virtually every prominent figure from the last 12 years or so of my life, all connected to things I’m letting go of. It also had constant chatter about many people who are on the path ahead of me, including some I hadn’t seen as key figures in that but feel clarity with now.
Most of those ahead of me didn’t appear… the dream was about the anticipation of them about to arrive. We never got there because my alarm went off, waking me up to start my day. Possible that we were never GOING to get there.
To sum up, this didn’t come off like a dream I normally have – when I even remember them, that is. It’s odd to me that I was awake enough to be aware of how I was laying… thinking about how badly I needed to get back to sleep… and yet I also recall much of this dream at the same time. And 92 minutes is a very, very long REM cycle for me.
I don’t know that it was a dream so much as a map. As something laying out where I’ve been and where I’m going for me… or telling me where I’m about to be.
My “instinct” is telling me to listen to this dream. It’s practically screaming at me to.
