When a loved one dies, it can leave us with such a strong longing to see them again, if only for a second, or just one-more-time.  This longing for a visitation from them can be consuming. What if…we could connect with them again and spend some valuable time together?  How often have you had a dream that made you sit up in bed and say, “Wow! That dream was awesome. It was just what I needed.”

 

 

Well, I had the best dream last night.

I had set my intention to see one of my best friends who died this time last year from a rare form of Leukemia. My intention was to have a dream visitation. We were tennis partners, our husbands played tennis together, and we vacationed in exotic places like the British West Indies Island of Anguilla between my cancer treatments. (Yes, I am a three-time breast cancer survivor whose dream diagnosed her illness missed by the medical community and the tests on which they relied.) She was there for me during all three of my breast cancer treatments and all that they encompassed.

When she died a piece of my heart died. The disbelief and grief that set in once I realized she was truly gone was physically tangible. It covered and suffocated me like a heavy wet blanket.

Months passed, and I realized I needed to see her again if only for a little while, to know where she was, and to see how she was doing.

So I set my dream intention before bed to see her in my dreams. Yeah, I was that desperate.  

During a dream, she walked in and said, “Wanna get a drink?” We sat in a beautiful restaurant with a lovely classy bar, and I ordered a martini while we chatted… just like old times. But, when her martini came, it had sliced carrots and celery in the glass but no liquid. I asked her about this. “Oh I don’t drink anymore,” she said, “but I wanted to see you, too.” Dream or reality?

Setting our dream intention is easier than it sounds. You can even write your intention down on a piece of paper and place it under your pillow to “sleep on it.” This is taking the 5th dimension abstract concept of intention and turning it into a concrete reality in the form of words on paper.

Tonight set your dream intention and sweet dreams.  How will you know if it was just a dream or reality in a dream? Validation. What was discussed in the dream that rings true to you? What happened or was said that was a piece to a puzzle?

The video podcast below takes you through the steps of creating your dream intention. Enjoy the show.
