When Pichaya and I met an old friend named Riley Carson and his wife for lunch about a year ago, we were treated to a prophetic waking dream outside the restaurant. Only in retrospect were we able to interpret this message from the Universe about our future endeavors.

When my niece was 6 years old, she lived with us on a pleasant street in the suburbs of Los Angeles. One of our neighbors, Wendy, was cordial and, from time to time, we would socialize amiably.
But, one day, she took me aside looking ashen and said, “I’ve never mentioned this before, but I have these kinds of half-dream-half-premonition experiences. I had one last night. I saw an earthquake, and your little niece was lying on the floor, unconscious, with that huge grandfather clock of yours crashed over on top of her. Please secure it somehow. And do it right away!”

People come up with any number of reasons for not asking for assistance: “I don’t want to bother anyone;” “I’m not worthy of help (love);” “I can do it myself,” etc. But, for the most part, people just forget to ask.
Pichaya and I have learned that Divine Spirit, Spirit, or “the Universe,” call it what you like, won’t interfere in our lives unless we ask.

Self-awareness is often described as the cornerstone of personal development and growth. It is the ability to objectively observe and understand your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and motivations.
Developing self-awareness (also known as mindfulness) is a journey that can lead to profound self-discovery and transformation. One of the most significant benefits of self-awareness is the ability to uncover and define your core values. Knowing your core values can serve as invaluable guidelines for setting and achieving meaningful goals in your life.

Working in the Disability Services field, I would usually associate IQ with a person’s mental and functional ability to live their life as independently as possible. It wasn’t until I started using spiritual techniques such as chanting mantras, contemplating, and practicing mindfulness, that I could see a direct correlation between spiritual IQ and my ability to live in harmony and balance with the Infinite.
Daily practices like this certainly help me to live more graciously, but also to be awake to life’s synchronicities and guidance through waking dreams.

Did you know there is a powerful tool you can use to help your life run more smoothly? It is listening to your inner guidance. It has taken me many years to trust this inner guidance which comes as an inner voice/knowingness for me. It sometimes gives whacky instructions that I often doubt. “Are you sure?” I question.
But, by following through on these whacky instructions, I am always amazed at the results; none more so than during the summer of 2020.

Waking Dreams frequently arise from our immediate surroundings, triggered by unusual events unfolding around us. In these moments, we become aware that these occurrences may hold a message akin to those found in dreams, open to interpretation.
Yet, at times, Waking Dreams intrude directly into our thoughts, seemingly emerging out of thin air, accompanied by a compelling sense that the Universe has just dispatched a message our way. This piece revolves around one such unexpected morning message, delivered in a manner that combines significance with a touch of humor.

Are the memories we tenderly take out of our treasure box from the past simply remnants of better days, or do they carry messages yet to be delivered? Could they really be “Waking Dreams in Retrospect?”1
As I reminisce about a trip I made many years ago into a remote area of the Bohemia Basin near Cottage Grove, Oregon, it occurs to me now that what I found there was equally as valuable as the parable it inspired.

In my metaphysical classes, I am fond of saying, “Whatever you perceive is you.” And I am hardly alone in this understanding. Deepak Chopra puts it this way: “Look out into the world, and what you will see is a mirror of yourself.”1
My favorite adage on this subject comes from the late Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, the Hawaiian psychologist who made the Polynesian spiritual teaching of Ho’oponopono popular. Regarding objective life, he simply says, “There is no ‘out there’ out there!”2
Even if this concept sounds remotely possible, you may be asking the same question I did when I first heard it: “How does this understanding make my life better?”

In an earlier post, we covered the 3 Common Types of Waking Dreams: Uncommon Events, Golden-tongued Wisdom, and Highlighted Waking Dreams. These become easily recognizable once we’re aware of them. Awareness is the key.
Now that we’re seasoned travelers and have found waking dreams helpful companions, we may want to venture further down the tracks of Divine Communication. For those blessed with an adventuresome spirit, the glorious lands of exotic waking dreams are waiting to be discovered just beyond the near horizon.
