David’s dream
I’m at work, sitting at my overcrowded desk, I’m looking up a number on my Blackberry, business as usual. Suddenly, a man with a gun comes in and tells us we are all his hostages.
I think to myself,“I KNEW I should have left this job a long time ago…had I only listened to my intuition, I wouldn’t have to die here at this dreadful job!”
Just then the man with the gun wanted to know what time it was, but there were no clocks or watches in the office. I told the man with the gun I have a clock in my car.
The gunman ordered, “OK, go check the time and come right back!”
I made sure to sneak my wallet and Blackberry into my pocket as I dashed out of the building. Once outside, I got into my car, on the driver’s side, and drove away.

David’s dream brought to his awareness the negative impact his work environment was having on him; the overcrowded desk, symbolized an inability to be in control of his life, and that he was under the gun to make a drastic change. The man with the gun demonstrated his subconscious taking desperate measures, holding him hostage long enough for David to get the message that it was time for a reality check. When David saw his opportunity to leave, he took his wallet (sense of self-worth) and his Blackberry (organization, order, self-empowerment) and escaped from the building (his former identity and belief structure), and got into the driver’s seat of his car (position of power) and drove to freedom.
David hated his job of 20 years. Even though he knew in his heart it was time to leave, he was held captive by the security it provided. Soon after he experienced this dream, David quit his job and began working as a freelance writer, his secret passion, and has never been happier and has never looked back.

Joanne’s dream
I was in a wheel chair at a family gathering in my childhood home, sitting alone in a corner. A handsome man, also in a wheel chair, approached me and said that we were supposed to be together, as a couple, because we were soul mates.
I asked him why he thought we were soul mates, and he replied, “We’re both crippled.”
I told the man, “I’m so sorry, I’m not really crippled, I just like this chair.”

Joanne needed some guidance understanding her dream. She was shocked when I told her this dream was actually a breakthrough.
Her dream revealed that she was attracting intimate relationships that were based on pain and injury, symbolized by the wheelchair.
She told me that because of her sensitivity to people’s pain, often she would develop similar injuries. Her dream was revealing that her extreme empathy was crippling her.
She was at her childhood home during a family gathering, which symbolized her role in the family as a young girl. Joanne also revealed to me that she was a sickly child, who never felt that she received enough nurturing. This dream uncovered that even though she was now a healthy adult, she was still relating to herself as an injured caretaker.
Ultimately this dream was a breakthrough in that it revealed her relationship patterns and demonstrated her willingness to change (“I’m sorry, I am really not crippled.”)
With this awareness, Joanne began to drastically alter her relationship patterns and began connecting with people from a place of wholeness, as well as relating to herself as a healthy, vital and powerful woman.
