As many of you know, I often get very symbolic and even prophetic dreams. I had one last night that was meant for YOU as well as for ME. I would be delighted to hear from you about how you interpret this dream for yourself.
In my dream last night, there were beautiful white peace doves in a yard, and a very tired lion in the same yard. The tired lion opened his mouth wide to yawn and accidentally caught a peace dove in his jaws when he closed his mouth - the peace dove was flying in his direction and got caught!
The lion yawned again, and I could see that the peace dove was still alive in the lion's cavernous mouth. I wanted to reach in and help the peace dove get free, but I didn't quite dare because I figured the lion's jaws would clamp shut at any second and bite my arm off.
I could see the peace dove reviving itself in the lion's mouth. It got up, stretched, walked around, and all that seemed to be wrong was its feathers looked a little bit bedraggled, bent, and damp. I was calling to it, coaxing it to jump out of the lion's open mouth before the jaws clamped shut again. I feared the dove would then be swallowed up.
Then I decided to step aside so as not to block the way. When I did, the peace dove flew out of the lion's mouth and rose up into the heavens!
No matter what your current circumstances are, this dream has a strong message for you. Try this out:
Label the peace dove with your own name.
Label the lion with your worst fear, and see how tired that fear actually is. Haven't you been worrying it to DEATH??? Don't you feel sometimes that you are being swallowed up by your worst fear?
Label the observer of this scene with your own name, too, not mine. Haven't you often thought of ways to reach in and help yourself, but you didn't quite dare? How might you step aside and get out of your own way so that you might soar?
Instead of flying in the direction of your worst fear and getting caught by it, can you fly somewhere else? Where? See it and fly there!
Try applying this same dream to the national and world economy, to politics, and to the idea of global peace and see how it all looks to you!
The possibilities are endless and intriguing. Remember this dream the next time you are afraid!
High and Free Flying to YOU!
