Golden Threads Woven Into The Tapestry

When we dream of dark men or women who turn us into victims, this picture of darkness may be showing us the emotions and belief systems operating within us. The “bad” person can represent the ways we may be treating ourselves — for example, by being too judgmental.

These negative energies — symbolized by the dark figure — cannot be destroyed. Remember: What we fight often gets bigger. The good news is that they can be transformed.

When we take the precious information from our dreams and go back there in our imagination, we can begin to change it. By facing the dark figure, we may discover a deeper sense of strength within ourselves. We then become more able to recognize negative energies in our daily lives and either give them to the Creator/Amma, transform them, or simply witness them.

So, A dear one had a dream where she was being chased by a bad man, And she wrote me about it. You know, Because you get these things come up and they rattle us. So, It's a picture of darkness. In this, It was coming as a bad man, But it could have been a bad woman. I mean, We're in a patriarchy, So, You know, We might dream about a bad man, But women are carrying the same misunderstandings that the males are through our culture. And any dream is showing us part of ourselves. We might be victimized in a dream, But a bad man in there is a belief system, And it's got emotions in it, And it will be operating in this dear one's psychology. It's exactly where if we're too hard on ourselves, Too judgmental, It would be that. The bad man would be where she gets hard on herself, Judgmental, Goes into her head, Tries to figure it out. Okay, This bad man cannot be destroyed, But he can be transformed. And this is the importance, You guys, Of working with your human psychological vehicle. So, I suggested that she go back, You know, Lie down, Go back into the dream through imagination, And change it. Because she, You know, She'd woken up being chased, That she was chased, She woke up terrified. So, I said, Go back. So, In this dream, She was, Or, You know, So she imagined herself in the car, And she heard still a little voice inside going, You know, Turn and face this, You can trust me. That would have been the light or the soul within her. So, You know, In her imagination, She stopped the car and got out and faced him. When she came out of this imagining, She felt this surge of strength come into her body. She felt hopeful. She felt, I can do this. That is golden thread weaving into the tapestry. She can face this within herself. And our facing of it happens when we, You know, We start judging ourselves or somebody else, And we catch it. It's like catching the negative energy, Catching it, And giving it over to the creator, Or replacing the thought, Or even just catching it and going, Oh, I'm really doing it again.
