A waking dream 💭
Last year, I dreamed of a place I didn’t yet know.
A retreat, led by faces unfamiliar to me,
but heavy with the energy of destiny.
It didn’t make sense at the time—
I was with someone,
so my waking mind tried to fit him there,
forcing his presence into a vision
where he clearly did not belong.
But now, a year later,
I sit by the lake,
the sun kissing my face,
the volcanoes standing guard over the rising dawn.
Last night, in ceremony,
I met the others who had been called here,
and suddenly,
a realization washed over me—
I’ve been here before.
Not in this body,
not in this exact moment in time,
but in my spirit.
In the folds of some other timeline,
this place, this energy,
this *knowing*
has already lived in me.
I know what comes next.
Not because I control it,
but because I’ve been walking with God.
And God always shows the way.
In this stillness,
in the golden light of the new day,
I see it so clearly:
this dream wasn’t just a whisper of possibility.
It was a map.
And here I am,
exactly where I’m meant to be.

Dreams have long been viewed as windows to our subconscious. In moments of tranquility, our inner self can unveil profound insights and forgotten memories. The experience of feeling a place resonates with familiarity often ties back to previous lives or deep-seated memories. Many believe that locations hold the vibrations of experiences and emotions from the past, enabling us to relive and connect with them in the present. While awake, we frequently push away feelings that we cannot articulate or experiences we cannot quite grasp. Yet, when we embrace our spiritual journey, we learn to recognize that these sensations are guiding us. Ceremonies and retreats, as mentioned in your journey by the lake, create a sacred space for healing and reflection, inviting like-minded souls to join in the discovery. As the sun rises and the world awakens, we can find clarity and peace in stillness, allowing divine energies to lead us towards our true path. This act of surrendering to our spiritual calling reminds us that we are part of a larger tapestry, interconnected with those who share similar destinies. Often, community ceremonies evoke feelings of recognition in others, suggesting a collective experience beyond a single lifetime. As you recount your time by the lake and feeling that you've been there before, contemplate how these experiences shape your understanding of identity and purpose. Each dream, vision, or feeling is a thread in the fabric of your life, guiding you toward wisdom and insight. By tuning into these cues and allowing your soul to lead you, you can embrace your destiny with open arms, stepping fully into your essence and purpose.
