I'm So Much Smarter When I'm Sleeping

I rarely remember my dreams when I wake up.

This morning was an exception, I remember a sliver of a dream that I had very early this morning, just before I woke up.

I was with a small group of people in a business-seminar type setting. Someone was leading us through a vision exercise.

I have led and been led through these types of exercises many, many times.

The language used is usually along the lines of,

"Where would you like to be in 2 (5,10 etc.) years? What does it look like?"

"How does that compare to your current reality?"

"What do you need to do to get from here to there?"

The language used in my dream was very different.

In my dream, the facilitator asked, "Tell us about your true reality?"

I was the first to share "When I'm asked this question, I'm often hesitant to answer. I think it's because I'm afraid of what I will have to sacrifice in my current reality in order to achieve my true reality."

The others were very supportive and encouraging about this response.

I continued. Saying with clarity and confidence,

"My purpose for being here is to fully explore and cherish the connections between people."


Let me point out that when I said "my purpose for being here", I wasn't referring to this particular place or event. I was clearly referring to my purpose on this planet. My purpose in this life. In my dream I had no doubts about what I was saying, and I knew exactly what I meant.

Now that I'm awake, I feel there is a message there somewhere, but I'm a little fuzzy on exactly what that is.
