The Debby-cation Silver Lining

Of course, without going into personal details too much, I was surprised how well dream interpretation applied to this situation. There are a lot more details , and it captured a compelling narrative:

• My Past: It painted a picture of where I came from – emotionally, my wife and I were at the beach, but through our actions we had introduced uncertainty and restrictions.
• My Present: We were at the pool, getting snapped at – in this case, the lifeguards were a symbol of restrictions and unwanted control, adversely impacting our emotional state and our subconscious energy. This also tied into some of the situations occurring in our lives at home.
• My Future: After an entire night of a down poor, symbolizing cleansing and transition, we awoke to a new day with no lifeguards barking at us, and indeed a seasonal guest acting as our guide to show us the new chapter unfolding in our lives. There was sun, peace, joy, health, and we were free from the worries and stress that had temporarily entered our lives but were now done.

The message from my existential vacation through a tropical depression was that, I was now entering a cleansed state, filled with the positive energy I have been seeking across all the facets of my life. All I need to do is believe, stay inspired and let the sunshine in going forward.

That’s my take on it. It will be interesting to look back on this in the future and see how it went. It is a testimony to plans vs the serendipitous nature of the cosmos. The most powerful things which transpire in our lives – I contend those can be the result of our intentions, they can be coerced through goal setting and inspired actions, but their true fulfillment is usually well beyond anything we can plan. At least, not using the tools we have at our disposal today. Who knows what that future may hold.
