Many times dreams can heal broken hearts. I believe that dream can be a way to contact love ones who are deceased. I have spoken to many people who have experienced it. I have experienced it on numerous occasions with my grandmother. Over the years my deceased grandmother has come to me during troubled times. These dreams are so real to me it was as if my grandmother has never died. Her spirit still lives on because she still visits me in my dreams and lives within my heart and soul.
Example of Dreams
Excerpt from The Nia Trilogy, Book#1, “The Age of Innocence”:
(In this scene Nia is dreaming about her deceased father who died during the Vietnam War before she was even born.)
“It was like a dream; we were running towards each other with our arms reaching out. He was running to me and I was running him. I was a little girl, about six years old. He had on his army uniform looking so tall, handsome, and strong. His name tag read “Chavez.” As we were just about to reach each other and he ready to lift me in his arms, he vanished.”
Dreams are very powerful; they can give you answers to problems that you faced in your everyday life. According to Deborah Gregory (contributing writer for Essence and Vibe Magazine), “Most mental health experts agree: Dreams are the roadway to our unconscious, for symbolic interpretation and ideal for use in creative problems solving.”
When I went through my traumatic rape experience, I kept to on having flashbacks. I wanted to stop replaying the violent experience in my head so I preyed over it. For years, I believed that it was my ought that I lost my virginity after I promised God that I would wait till I was married. I literally thought God hated me and I always felt so ashamed. All of this came to an end when I sought out spiritual counseling and had a dream.
I dreamed I saw Jesus Christ. I had another horrible flashback dream and in the dream, I saw Jesus standing outside in the rain through the window; Jesus was crying. The dream showed me that God still loves me. This dream helped heal me which made me hold and much stronger. My dreams are what helped me cope with my problems and deal with my painful past.
Pepsi Togar, PhD (Teaches dream interpretation at the Seminar Center in New York City) states that, “Most religions have considerable respect for dreams, and the Old Testament of the Bible is full of them. Biblical figures such as Daniel, Joseph, and Jeremiah were dream interpreters on hand. When other tells you their dreams, listen!”
Dreams are usually seen like a movie. Just live movies, dreams have a story to tell and it has everything to do with you because it is linked to your spirit. According to Togar, “Dreams can open door into what you need to do with your life. Dreams can do numerous of things such as give answers to problems, warns us of thing the may occur in the future, heal broken hearts, links us to deceased one, and can lead you to your purpose in life. Often time God communicate to us through dreams. So listen to your dreams and take heed, for your dreams can be a huge blessing for you as well as for others.
