I had the craziest dream early this morning. I woke up earlier than my alarm (around 5 AM) and contemplated getting up. There is something really satisfying about being the first one awake and up in the house. Instead of doing that, I rested into the comfort of my bed and fell back into a dream. While dreaming, I felt that the information being presented to me was profound. I thought I had an idea for a short story. I can still feel the passion and excitement I was feeling in the dream as I realized I had stumbled upon a story worth writing and sharing. 

Upon waking, I initially felt like I should grab some paper and jot down what the dream had been about. On second thought I realized that I couldn’t imagine writing that story, let alone thinking that anyone would actually enjoy reading it. As I analyzed the content of the dream, I felt the passion and excitement slipping away. In its place came logic and awareness of social response. How is it that something that felt so perfect while sleeping, was completely ridiculous once awake? 

I imagine this is what it’s like sometimes when aligned with Source vs being unaligned. Since Source becomes every desire we have the moment that the desire is born, that means that Source is everything we can dream up, no matter how ridiculous it is to our human consciousness. Is there a world where my story would make sense and being valued? Of course! I created that world when my focus on the content was matched with my desire and the positive emotions of it being realized. The problem being that our world does not match the world of my creation. 

I believe this is where we live much of the time. We have the ability to create whatever we want to. Even for those who understand how creation works, and exercise that knowledge, do they not consider the social structure of this world we live within? Does anyone truly dream to their heart’s content without borders of restraint, dictated by social norms? 

If that person does exist, I want to know them. I want to learn from them. I want to be like them. This is the ultimate life goal.
