They change something within us, shed light on our path and alter the way we think about things afterwards. Plus, they stay with us, for years afterward. I know, I have been blessed with more than one of them myself. They are like visits from angels, and maybe that's exactly what they are.Fireblossomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07040525704916368792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7299990210253432808.post-27988862893959882672014-04-21T16:20:14.210-07:002014-04-21T16:20:14.210-07:00Carrie - This is a very vivid dream with many laye...Carrie - This is a very vivid dream with many layers to it my first thought would be to ask you how did the dream make you feel..what emotion. Dreams are keys to the waking life there are messages in them. If it were my dream I would look at my own life to see what changes I can make no matter how small and I would find ways to strengthen myself. Carrie what will you do to honor this dream?<br /><br />Wishing you peace..Truedessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09079953417572207613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7299990210253432808.post-51895287469182225872013-02-11T11:27:56.027-08:002013-02-11T11:27:56.027-08:00Lovely post Carrie.

Dreams are very personal, but sometimes they are something that need to be shared, and you did a great job of that.

I so hear you - I, too, am a "child of and mother to" addictions", a professional rescuer and escaper. The turbulence of the lives around me taught me to cultivate an Inner Tree. In everyone else's crises, I learned to go within, be still and strong and steady so they would have something to hold onto as they flailed about. My lifelong search was for peace, which I finally achieved about halfway thru my life by becoming a hermit. I especially love your realization that, in the dream, your granddaughter represented your future, and the other little girl your past self. Wow. You have amazing dreams. (I only dream of cleaning out industrial warehouses all night long, I wake up exhausted!) This is a remarkable piece of writing and I thank you for sharing it.Sherry Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769154286598233146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7299990210253432808.post-54884258141268688802013-02-03T14:27:45.838-08:002013-02-03T14:27:45.838-08:00wow ....def a vivid dream carrie...that you rememb...wow ....def a vivid dream carrie...that you remember so much of the dream with clarity is telling as well...i def think there are things we can learn from the dreams we have...things they tell us on how we live....Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7299990210253432808.post-51308973275730711932013-02-03T06:21:21.927-08:002013-02-03T06:21:21.927-08:00Dreams fascinate me, which is perhaps why this pos...Dreams fascinate me, which is perhaps why this post fascinated me so much. The vividness in which you describe your dream is truly something. I have often wished that somehow we could record our dreams for later watching so that we could pick up on all the hidden cues and meanings. Great post Carrie.
