Years ago, I decided to become a member of a spiritual path which claimed to have a Living Teacher. This path taught that its spiritual master is always with me, and that by practicing various spiritual exercises on a regular basis, I could maintain a deep connection with that master and the Universal Consciousness that was everywhere and in all things. So, I diligently practiced these spiritual exercises a couple of times each day.

After several months, during one of my contemplations, I found myself wondering how much of what I had been taught about this new path was true. Was this “supposed” spiritual master truly always with me? Why not ask? I thought to myself.

A Prophetic Waking Dream

Some memories follow us throughout our lives. Often it’s because they are waiting for us to realize what they’ve been trying to tell us. In this book, we’ve called these “Waking Dreams in Retrospect.” But butterflies must wait for caterpillars to break through their cocoon, no matter how long the process takes.

Since the late 80’s, one fond memory has kept recurring. After examining it, I lovingly return it to its special place among other potentially valuable treasures from days-gone-by.

It was a busy time, and everything in my life seemed to want more attention: Work, relationships, family, health, all could use more time. It’s hard to keep everything in perspective when you’re feeling stretched.

A mysterious encounter at a farmers’ market proved to be prophetic, confirming a dream that began when I was two and a half years old. Even though I was a little too young to be admitted into preschool, we were fortunate to have been granted an exception. My mother owned a small restaurant. Having me around would demand too much of her time, energy, and attention, so off I went.

L’ Italie
Napoleon was a firm believer in his “presentiments,” as he called them. He was referring to his prophetic waking dreams. One day, for example, word reached him from Egypt that one of his Nile boats, L’Italie, had run ashore, and its French crew had been executed. Napoleon was very concerned. He saw this as a sign that his plans to annex Italy to France would fail.

Golden-tongued Wisdom waking dreams are associated with spoken words; however, messages can also come from other audible sources, such as the one I experienced two days after Christmas in 2020. I awoke with a feeling of agony in my heart. My father had been on my mind constantly for the past several months. This freezing cold winter morning was no exception.

Clocks Tell More Than Time

Perhaps the most common object linked to waking dreams is a clock. In his book, Man and His Symbols, Jung writes: “There are numerous well-authenticated stories of clocks stopping at the moment of the owner’s death; one was the pendulum clock in the palace of Fredrick the Great at San Souci, which stopped when the emperor died.”

I was reminded in a recent contemplation to be more patient with Oi. Since English is her second language, I would need to give her more time to get her thoughts down on paper. My Inner Guide suggested, “Teach, don’t preach.”

At a local market later that day, I purchased a few groceries including some juice-sweetened cranberries for Oi. As we were unpacking the bags, she asked if I had noticed the company name on the cranberry package. I glanced down and smiled as I read it: “Patience Fruit & Company.”

My mom was off on medical leave from the supermarket where she worked as a checker. I didn’t know that she had a double mastectomy scheduled, or the incredible challenge she was facing with breast cancer.

Several transistor radios lined a shelf before me in Montgomery Wards. A couple of my friends had been given radios recently, and I asked for one, too. As I recall, the radios ranged in price from five to fifteen dollars. There was a huge difference in quality between them as well as their price. One was amazing. I was attracted to it immediately, but kept testing the less expensive ones because I knew that fifteen dollars was well beyond my mom’s budget.

A “waking dream” is an experience (most of the time an unusual incident) which occurs in our outer, awake physical life. It is a message from Divine Spirit and the Inner Teacher. It may be an answer or suggestion or a warning. It usually has great physical, emotional, and spiritual significance.
