I’ve been starting to pay more attention to my dreams lately. I think dreams are window into the subconscious mind and paying attention to them can be beneficial to coming to know one’s self. Better understanding of one’s self and personal balance are both keys to being able to manifest a better reality, and are both attainable when we respect the messages dreams offer us. A while back I started to write my dreams down in a journal but eventually stopped. I began writing them down again now and welcome their insights.


In a recent dream of mine, I bumped into a very evil character. I was not looking for him, I was waiting to meet someone else and the evil character happened to come by. I was talking to my friend Gertrud about the dream and she suggested that I look at that evil character, and all other characters in my dreams, as elements of myself. I had thought of this notion before, but sometimes hearing it from someone else can be a helpful reminder.

Assessing what I typical define as somewhat evil characteristics: strong-headedness, aggression, and combativeness, I recognized that I have an internal conflict. When the situation calls for it, as infrequent as the occasions may be, I want to be able to harness the power of these characteristics without feeling like I am evil.

Mentally I realize there is no such thing as good and evil, positive and negative, they are both just the way humans interpret reality. On the same token, as children we come to fear evil and Hell, etc. and it is sometimes difficult to rationalize with the subconscious mind. I need to find this part of me that I subconsciously shy away from because I feel it is evil and recognize that it is just another part of my being. Ultimately my intent is to be creative and help others and therefore to be mentally, spiritually, and physically active without any one part of myself is counterproductive to accomplishing my goals.

This is something I will continue to work on in the future and I am thankful that my subconscious spoke to my rational mind through the dream.
