The Highest Himalayas
I have a tenden
cy to pay attention to my dreams because I believe that my subconscious mind "teaches" me when my conscious mind falls short. I often record them as a reference for future symbology in my personal dreams. How many times I have unlocked the mystery of a genuinely "original" dream, only to think to myself, "well, duh. That's what I've been telling me all along!"
Last night I had one of those "spiritually seeking" dreams that I get from time to time. I knew exactly what it meant as I was dreaming it, and upon further waking analysis, I proved that I was correct.
(In the spirit of "dream telling", I will now switch to present tense). I am in the dirt parking lot of a motorcycle store with someone young that I don't know. I am searching for something that I have lost, but I don't know what I am searching for. A voice comes to me from out of the blue (of course) and says, "Even the best gardeners in the highest Himalayas know to put ants and manure on their gardens. This is the way the best gardens are grown." Immediately, I had that spiritual "AHA!"
Here is my interpretation: Rather than buying into my tendency for "rebellion and freedom", the easy way out, (motorcycle shop), I am searching through a barren place alongside my inner self where I seem to be parked (dirt parking lot), for something more to life. However, I'm not really sure what I need. The answer, which lies within myself, comes from God. Even the most spiritually adept people(Himalayas) understand that the greatness of spirituality, that perfect oneness with God (the mountain), requires patience (ants) and nurture (manure). Only through patience and constant feeding can my spiritual life become the best it can be.
This is one of those dreams that will "color" the way I think permanently. I often remember those more "profound" statements from my dreams more so than the actual dreams themselves. It's almost as if I dream more in audio than video, although most of my videos are pretty high-tech.
I love these dreams. I always feel as if I've accomplished something afterward, as if I've found a piece of myself, or solved another part of the puzzle. Life can really be complex sometimes, and although our dreams can get downright strange, I find that the reality of life is often much crazier than our wildest dreams will ever be.
For me, I think I will go now and start gardening in the Highest Himalayas. Peace be with you all!
