I have had a few sleepless nights. When I write that what I mean is I have had nights where I didn’t sleep at all. It wasn’t my choice. I wanted to sleep, but I just wasn’t able to fall asleep. The inability to fall asleep made me feel very anxious and like there was something terribly wrong. Yet more than that, I felt like there was something missing.
Today, I had a conversation with my aunt, and we started to talk about dreams. She commented that she hardly ever dreams. I told her that I dream every night. I may not remember exactly what I dream, but I am able to remember that I dream every single night. On those nights that I wasn’t able to fall asleep, I think I missed being able to dream.
Science would say that dreaming is a biological function that is a necessary brain function, but there are some that say the dreaming is a spiritual experience that is a necessary part of life and that it is just as important as the waking life. While I am not certain about my dreaming life, I do believe that some of the most significant moments of synchronicity that I have experienced started with a dream. Maybe when I am asleep, my spirit is more open to the spiritual aspect of the universe, who knows? What I do know is to never take anything even dreaming for granted. Those images that flash through my mind every night have meaning somehow. And yet just like God’s plan, I may never know what the meaning is, I just have to keep the faith that there’s meaning to those dreams of mine.
My faith saved me. My God’s peace reside in all of our hearts.
