Big Dreamer

1.    

If you’ve been around for a while, you can probably tell I’m big a dreamer. It really doesn’t matter if we’re talking about a fantasized ambition or a dream state. That’s even more obvious if you have read my novel, Beauty in Pain. While I don’t dream every day, I am fairly consistent with it. The one type of dreaming, I never do is daydream, at least until today.

After tending to many things I had to do, I was left feeling exhausted and like I needed to lean on someone. I decided to take a mid-day nap, something I rarely do and that’s when it happened. I experienced my first daydream! It was simple and beautiful. In it, Jesus allowed me to lie my head down on His lap as I rested while He rubbed my head.

It was the best nap I ever had. I relaxed in a way that left me feeling whole and later remarkably resilient. I knew that I was alright. I also knew that the only one I ever needed to lean on was already there.

Dream Big

Have you ever envisioned a personal goal? Have you received confirmation from God to move forward? Have you been excited about sharing that dream?

Many of us have big ideas on how to improve the quality of our lives. Once we become ready to execute a plan, we often share it, only to find out those closet to us have no faith in it. This can be devastating depending on who it is telling you to stop playing games. Yes, it is bad not to be shown support, but that doesn't mean you're not supported or loved. People in your inner circle will come around, albeit slowly.

You need to understand that it's possible that your dreams are so far out of the realm of their reality that they can't picture it. God gave you clarity in the situation because it belongs to you. All things will become more clear to your family and friends as you reach your individuals goals.

Dreams

Lately, I have been experiencing the most intense dreams.  They are filled with everything from blissful days in the park to high speed chases that end in confusion.  It's truly more night action than I can bare.  Generally, I am not aware of having a dream.  When I sleep, I drift off into a dark place of rest and wake up feeling refreshed.  I have longed for my deep sleep to return.

People have often had varying opinions on the relevance of a dream. Some believe that it is all important and unlocking its truth is as simple as having the dream interpreted.  Others view it as nightly entertainment, virtually synonymous with watching television. 

I rest somewhere in the middle on the issue.  I have had good and bad dreams of the amusement variety, as well as mind-benders. There are things that definitely cannot be ignored, but I'm still not sold on over analyzing it to survive.

I'd like to know what you think.  Where do you weigh in on this issue of dreams in reality?
