Dreams
Our Choices Are Ours To Make
The past few years have been challenging for everyone. The pandemic, political upheaval, and economic uncertainty have affected lives all over the world.
I have personally witnessed the pain and struggles of many people close to me, as well as my clients.
I even had to take a ‘mental vacation’ at times as I began to feel disoriented and somewhat confused by the messages the angels were giving me.
I asked the why’s with no clear answers. I’ve asked the how’s without sensible explanations. As a lightworker I tend to feel compelled to fix things, to make things better.
Then one day I had a breakthrough when spirit told me clearly that it is not my job to fix everything and everyone.
Spirit has led me to understand that my job is to spread love, light and healing to the best of my ability. How people choose to think, feel and act in response to their life challenges is not for me or anyone else to try to control. Everyone’s choices are theirs to make as they see fit, and with much choice comes much responsibility.
As heartbreaking and frustrating as it may be at times, it is not my place to interfere with other people’s karmic journey and soul plan. This newfound insight was jarringly confirmed by a traumatic event just a few weeks ago.
It Is Never ‘Just A Dream’
People often say, “It was just a dream, it does not mean anything.” But in my experience our dreams always mean something, and sometimes it is profound.
Dreams serve important mental, emotional, and spiritual functions in our life journey. Our dreams help us to process and learn from our daily experiences, store memories and important information, master new skills, and manage our emotions. Dreams are also key to our inner guidance, spiritual expansion, karmic evolution, and soul growth. And some dreams are the key to healing trauma.
The first nine years of my life my family lived in a small town, until we moved to a much bigger and more bustling city. Soon after we settled in our new location, I began having the same dream repeatedly.
The content of the dream never wavered. I was back in our hometown, and I was standing frighteningly close to the edge of a large, deep lake. Then suddenly I was running away from a threatening bear chasing me. The intensity of this nightmare never changed, and I consistently woke up terrified.
Around the time I turned 14, it suddenly stopped, and I never experienced the dream again.
Years later, I researched the dream’s possible meaning. I then learned that water often represents emotion, while frequently dreaming about being chased is a sign of feeling stressed, anxious, worried, or fearful. In my dream, I was running away from the negative emotion, or trying to avoid it.
My Shared Death Experiences
After a near-death experience at the age of 20, my perception of reality shifted in remarkable ways. The most significant development was that I somehow became attuned to the experiences of people transitioning to the afterlife, also known as a Shared Death Experience (SDE).
I have since had several astonishing SDEs that offered me rare glimpses into the mysteries of life and the spirit realm. These esoteric encounters revealed to me how our consciousness, choices, and beliefs in this life shape our ultimate journey beyond the physical.
A shared death experience, also known as ‘shared passing’ or ‘shared crossing,’ is an end-of-life paranormal phenomenon in which relatives, caregivers, or sometimes even compassionate strangers, share in a dying person’s transition experience.
In my experience, SDEs are diverse and highly unique for each dying person, but they typically share one common feature, namely that I do not only see a vision of the person at the moment of dying, but also of them being happy, safe and joyous in the afterlife, after they have passed.
Surrounded By Love
My first SDE was when I was working at an adult care facility. One of our residents was under hospice care. As she gracefully transitioned from this world to the next, an overwhelming sense of love permeated the room.
