Foregleams

This page last updated on 01/26/2019.

I sit alone on a dark hillside watching people walk along a sunny road down in the valley. There is a man sitting next to me in the dark; I can sense how very much he loves me and his desire for me to be aware of his (and the others) presence. This gives me the courage to ask, “Does it have to be this way?” He replies, “Yes.” I am standing on the dark hillside alone again with my back to the road, looking up at the crest of the hill. Anticipation, joy, a tiny bit of fear, and wonder have supplanted my alone feelings…something extraordinary is introducing itself to me. I am standing on the crest of the hill, next to a tree, watching a magnificent sunrise as the wind blows the hair away from my face.

Some 22 years later I think I finally understand this sequential dream: Instead of believing that life is passing me by, I should focus on my growing awareness that I am being daily accompanied and guided by the people I see in my dreams.
