The Do-Over
The common belief is that as an adult, there are no do-overs in life.
A series of dreams proved to me that do-overs are indeed possible.
During the early morning, I awoke with a realization that I was having a bad dream. I recognized that I had this dream before. The dream was about a large gathering with family and friends in an event hall. Mid-way through a stranger comes to the door and asks me to come outside to talk. I go outside and I am so engaged in conversation with this stranger that I do not come back to the party until after it is over. I am upset that my family and friends left without my being able to say goodbye.
As I awoke, I decided to journal about this dream. In my journal, I asked the Divine if the dream sequence represented my unrelenting fear of an upcoming Apocalypse, replete with my fear of abandoning my children, family and friends. It occurred to me that this dream was a manifestation of my fears. I prayed to have this emotional charge of fear removed. I requested to know Being so clearly, that I came to know that my family and friends will never leave me, nor will I leave them even in death.
During my introspection, I realized that a previous indication of this was shown to me when I needed to receive guidance late last year from my deceased father on a decision that I was making. At a Patti Sinclair mediumship event, she asked each of us to send out a strong intention to hear from our loved one. I did and my father responded - in spiritual language it is called "coming through the veil" to talk to me. But did he come through the veil - or was he there all the time? Perhaps the veil was just my inability to see that he was there all the time. Therefore, I now know that even in death, my father is always with me and I am always with him.
I put my journal away and returned to sleep. While I slept, I went back to the same dream. This time, I was sitting in the event hall at a table with my husband and other family and friends. All the other guests were sitting at their own tables engaged in conversation. I decided it was time to end the party. I stood up and simultaneously, my husband and all the other guests at the party stood up with me in harmony. I felt this deep sense of Oneness with all those at the party and I was able to say goodbye to them with a deep sense of unconditional love.
One could take many lessons from this do-over dream but one that resonated with me is that when we truly ask for divine support and we are ready to let go of something that does not serve us, the Divine will provide the support. Whether it is a do-over or an opportunity to move to the next stage of our life’s journey, the key is to know that we are all truly blessed and that there is no separation between the Divine and self.
We are in perfect Oneness with all other Beings - the ones with whom we in our human form as well as those beyond our perceived limited physical senses.
The time is now upon us to let go of our limited perspectives and truly see who comes to the party. We may, in fact, need to rent a much bigger hall!
