RECURRING DREAMS

This is a short recurring dream from Waldo in Texas:

"It's the last day of Final's Week, and I suddenly realize that I had registered for a class that I haven't been to all semester! I freak out, because I don't know any of the material, and I have a limited time to catch up. I get the necessary textbook and try to read it, but the words are blurry and I'm super frustrated. I realize that it’s too late and I'm panicking. Nowadays, when I have the dream, I'm my current age, but it never seems to faze me."

Recurring dreams are usually the psyche’s way to kicking you in the behind.   It addresses a flaw or weakness in your character that tends to get you into trouble all the time.  You probably know your character flaws.  Maybe you always arrive late to a meeting or appointment… even to work or to parties... or any situation where people are waiting for you.  Or, you might have a tendency to put everyone else’s needs before yours, so when it’s your time to "star” in your own stage show, you’re not even dressed because you’ve spent all your time backstage helping everyone else get ready for their performances.  This latter one is my character flaw.

In this particular instance, Waldo could literally have a test coming up for which he hasn't studied.  Or it's a metaphor for the fact he tends to forget commitments or promises he’s made… so when it’s time to fulfill that commitment or promise, he just ain’t ready.

I suspect Waldo has a promise or commitment about to surface.  Is it someone’s birthday and you’ve promised to attend a party?  Is it your wedding anniversary and you’re supposed to make fancy dinner plans for you and your wife?  Or maybe you’ve promised to attend a child’s school play or program?

Past experience should already have taught you that last-minute preparation just won’t be good enough.  Something goes wrong, or unexpected obstacles arise.

You get the gist.  This is a warning dream.  You’re being kicked in the butt to REMIND you to be alert.  Look at your calendar!   On a certain day at a certain time, something’s going to happen and this time, kiddo, you want to be prepared for it.

However, as we all know, correcting a powerful, lifetime flaw isn’t easy to correct.  It takes commitment, focus and determination.

Good luck, Waldo.  You can do it!

Otherwise, happy snoozles to you and everyone out there in Dreamtime Blogland.
