The home of a woman named Ann abuts a wilderness area. She is used to wildlife. But even she was startled when, one balmy afternoon, while she was enjoying a tall glass of iced tea in her garden, she looked up in time to watch a mature bald eagle land on a tree branch not ten feet away from where she was sitting.

At first she was stunned; she was rendered breathless; she couldn’t believe her eyes. But, by the time she contacted me for another perspective, she had become the opposite: unable to stop her nearly manic chatter.

“I know it’s a sign!” she bubbled.

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?”

If you had seven days to live, what would you do? Who would you call? What would you say? How would you spend your time? With whom?”

After contemplation one morning, I pondered these questions and discussed them with Michael. We affectionately call our early morning sessions where we share insights about life and spirituality, “Conversations with Honey.” Waking dreams and relationships are always our favorite subjects. On this day, however, “Living Life to the Fullest” happened to be our topic of the day.

Midway through college I had decided to pursue a career as a mathematician. But not without some doubts. I was drawn to math because I enjoyed it, but was unsure if I had sufficient talent to reach the Master’s or Doctor’s Degree I was aiming for.

While mulling over my situation, my father approached me one morning just as I was about to leave for the college campus to go to a math class. “I think you might like this,” he said, as he handed me an old math book he had picked up at a library sale. “It has an unusual feature as you will see when you open it.”

The Music of the Spheres

All life is connected at the innermost level by thin golden strands of light, weaving a tapestry of divine love. It is a shimmering, musical wave of energy—“the Music of the Spheres”—that we can hear with our inner senses in contemplation.

The Music of the Spheres is known by other names: “Divine Love,” “Divine Spirit,” “the Holy Spirit,” “Spirit,” “the Voice of God,” even, generically, “the Universe.”

It speaks to us in dreams, inner whisperings, and through symbols in our daily life—waking dreams. This divine consciousness provides guidance, warnings, glimpses into our future, clarity on our past, and confirmations on important matters, including relationships.

Sometimes Waking Dreams and Synchronicities combine forces to deliver a powerful message. This story is about such a message and how a strange inner vision facilitated a healing.

The Tree Left Standing

In a wooded area not far from Colliding Rivers in Glide, Oregon, a small fir tree was growing from the surface of an old stump. Intuitively, I knew that life was communicating with me through this uncommon event in its symbolic language, the language of waking dreams. As stated before, Carl Jung, the psychologist, called these events “meaningful coincidences.” I also knew that important details about my upcoming move to Hawaii could be known by deciphering this symbolic message.
