THE BIG DREAM-A JOURNEY

Journey/The Big Dream

11/2013

The journey was powerful. I began by sitting on boulder near the waterfall. It was snowing. Really snowing. It had never snowed when I journeyed there before. The snow was covering everything in a blanket of pure white. It was beautiful. And I wasn’t cold. Weird. Boulder advised me to welcome the change, to absorb the beauty of change. I noticed the river was bigger and wider between here and the waterfall then it had been. Go, advised Boulder, there is still a path, just a different path.

I found the path and walked back to the waterfall, along different ground, but I wasn’t scared. The waterfall was bigger and wider, extending along the cliff further than it had before. The falls sparkled like rainbow gems in the sunlight, despite the falling snowflakes. The snow fell gently around me as Bear approached. We wrestled playfully for a few moments, happy to see one another. Unicorn flew in, blue tipped wings fluttering softly, blue eyes alight with welcome and joy. For a while I just stood quietly between my friends, absorbing the love and beauty around me.

A large bird landed close by. A bird of many-colored feathers. She was colorful, playful, and free. Allow the Universe to supply abundantly, she said to my mind. Welcome the prosperity. Receive gracefully. Be Abundant in your gratefulness. Buffalo thundered in, ready and willing to help. Remember your dream, whispered around me. The Big Dream.

I did. Suddenly and as vividly as if I were in the midst of the dream again, I remembered. Spider, big, black, and hairy. No, huge, black and hairy, had a hold of my leg. She was about to devour me. I screamed, cried out for help. I knew I would die but I was worried about the children all around me. There were many, different ages and sizes. One in particular caught my eye, an adorable baby girl. I felt a connection when I looked into her smiling eyes. She rolled and I saw her turtle back. Somehow, I’d made a connection with a girl baby turtle. What did it mean? Study and learn my animal guides advised.

I found myself back on boulder feeling changed. How, I wasn’t sure, I just felt different. Not at the core, I heard around me and in me. There you are still who you are and have always been. I felt so at peace.
