Dream Journals

Do you have dreams that haunt you? Or dreams that stand out vividly even after you have awakened? It’s time to start keeping a dream journal.

In my life whenever there’s been a dream that impressed me enough to remember it after I woke I knew there was a purpose to that dream. I didn’t write them down like I should have, but I always knew there were messages in those dreams for me.

Now I’m older and wiser. I’ve learned the necessity of writing down important dreams. There are reasons they are vivid and I remember them. Sometimes I know what they are telling me right away. Other times I look back at them and recognize their meaning after something else has happened in my life.

A couple posts ago I wrote of a dream I had about a white goose. That dream was reiterating to me that I can offer to help someone but I can’t make them accept my help. I can’t force them to let me fix the things I can fix. They have to willingly want and accept my help.

I had another dream recently that had a lot of messages in it for me. A psychopathic killer threw some kind of gala party. Strangely enough people were in pews as if in a church or perhaps some kind of school. We all knew the intention was to kill everyone in attendance. But I had been given the chance to take any of the children who wanted to come with me and escape.

There were a few children who followed me, although rather hesitantly. There was one special child,  (in the dream it was my best friend’s daughter but I know she stood for someone else) who was immediately at my side and with me throughout the rest of the dream. As we raced out there were gates at the end of where we were running. We barely got through those gates as the rapper Eminem was chasing us, trying to stop us and prevent us from escaping.

Outside the gates there was a car blocking our escape. It was a big cream colored car.   I wasn’t going to let it stop me, so with strength I never knew I had I literally pushed the car over on it’s side and we escaped out. For some reason the only one in the car with me was my friend’s daughter at this point.

A little further up suddenly my sister and Cookie were in the vehicle and they needed to stop for a bathroom break. When I stopped all of a sudden all the other kids came out of the woodwork and I hurried and got all the kids in the vehicle. They were cramped like sardines but we got everyone in. I raced off and knew I had to get out fast, that we might be chased. For some reason I knew I had to head to a nearby town of Elroy where a friend was. I also was guided to look for a county road OS although there are not any of those nearby.

The dream ended there. Yes, it was extremely vivid and I do dream in color. I won’t get into all the meanings and messages of the dream. Perhaps you, my reader, may even have found a message in this particular dream. But I hope, more than anything, that it encourages you to write down your dreams.  Take time to see if there is message in them to help change your life or teach you a lesson.
