To Romi on Dream

Two nights ago I had an extremely vivid dream that was

a bit unsettling. For whatever reason I was being

sent to prison for 3 years. My dream took place in my

first few days in prison, and was just so terrifying

and real.

 

In the dream, in a way that I don't do in real life, I

kept turning to Amma for comfort. I chanted my mantra

with a new awareness and surrender.Now if I could just find a way to break

my habits that doesn't involve breaking the law and ending up in a

prison that has bars!

 

 

 

Dear Romi ~ what an incredible dream. It could be a metaphor for many, I am

sure. It certainly feels like one for me. I am in a prison of illness. I am

sick everyday. Every aspect of my life has been affected. I am unable to do

simple things like clean my house without feeling worse. And, I have been aware

that I could use this time "behind bars," so to speak to come closer to God,

to surrender, to do more spiritual practice, even if I have to do it in bed.

But I still try to push myself, live my "old" life, do all the things I did

that I have great difficulty doing (my art, my music). I am so stubborn.

 

Thank you for sharing this dream with us. It has great meaning for me, and I

am going to take it to heart and make a greater effort to do as you said,

"break old habits." Jai Ma ~ Linda
