Soul Messages

I stood with my mother, aunt and a couple of other family members, lined up side-by-side. My grandmother standing before us, looking serene, said good-bye, hugging us one-by-one. She then turned, and crawled out a window and stood on the ledge. She stood still with a small peaceful smile and gazed into the distance. I called out to her, desperate, my heart gripped with sorrow, “Grandma! Don’t go!” I awoke from the dream, heart wrenching and choking back sobs caught in my throat.

Later that morning, I got a call from my mother saying that my grandmother, who was staying in a nursing home during that time, had gotten sick and almost died the night before. I was astonished at the coincidence and I knew that I’d had a telepathic dream. I was living in Toronto and my grandmother along with the rest of my family was in B.C. Despite the distance that separated us, my grandmother and I had experienced a psychic connection.

Dreams have given me many years of soul messages. I have been keeping dream journals for over twenty years and I am often amazed at what can come to me once my conscious thoughts are out of the way. Despite the seemingly often silliness of dreams, dreams are an incredible phenomenon. They are the gateway to the soul. They have allowed me to look deep within, and to experience universal consciousness at work. Our spirits connected, we make up this great web we refer to as universal source.

I also refer to the universe as soul. Soul is the collective mind and our spirit is our essence through which our dreams can communicate. Thoughts pass us by all the time and a dream comes from thoughts whose message we are prepared to receive. Hence, the soul relaying messages for guidance in our day-to-day lives.

Dreams have presented me with the opportunity to experience first-hand that time does not exist as we have invented. Past, present, and future are not separate. They are one. Precognitive dreams, or dreams that predict the future, demonstrate such a phenomenon. My dreams that have come true sometimes months later have proven to me that linear time, as we know it does not exist.

The language of dreams can be very difficult to decipher, as it is a language of the spirit, and the spirit is not the rational world to which we have become accustomed. This is what is important about listening to our spirit. We have lost much of our connection and now we have reached an era where we are hungering to reconnect to the essence of who we are, and for our connection to the divine. Dreams are the voice of our spirit that is part of the Universal Ocean, or Soul.

The dream of my grandmother all those years ago showed me timelessness and the lack of separateness, especially with someone in my life to whom I had been close. It is the connection with the divine, which is universal soul of which we are all one.
