Seriously, how do dreams work?? I can somehow create an entire alternate world in vivid color with fictional characters and a complete history with not a single crack in the foundation. It's so real that I wake up immersed in the plot. Sometimes I'm spending time with my friends -sometimes I've created all new friends. Sometimes I'm flying and experiencing a sort of euphoria that never comes in a state of awake. Sometimes I'm in different secret worlds that no one else can find unless I invite them. Sometimes those close to me die and I wake up soaked in sweat and tears.
Crazy thing - I've never died in any of my dreams. When I was younger, I used to wake up right before I was going to be killed. After a while, I began to realize that these were MY DREAMS. I could control the outcome. Since then, any time there was any kind of attack on me or someone else in my dreams, I become the hero and wake up with some sort of subconscious victory.
I think I've been learning lately that real life is not like a dream. We are not the ones in control. God is completely in control of every situation. Often times, I hold on so tightly to what I think is right when I just need to let go and give it all to "The Dream Giver".
"The Dream Giver" is actually a pretty interesting book. It's by Bruce Wilkinson and you should check it out if you're interested in his ideas on what should be done with the "dreams" (like what you want to do with your life, not the kind when you're asleep) God (or The Dream Giver) gives you. I won't give a book review but the first half of the book is a metaphor and the second half is more literal and it's definitely something I'd recommend to someone moving into the next chapter in life, whatever that may be.
Thanks for reading.
Soon,
Bobby
