Seeing all the youthful dreams being posted on the Dream Journal makes me reminisce about my early dreams. (They are dreams that I have never written about until today.) These dreams are a real part of this life’s memories in clear detail. They are still only dreams, but not forgotten.
For a long time I was happy to be able to locate and visit the highest authority figure in my dreams; always in totally safe and non-threatening peaceful settings: "down in a valley that had a tall waterfall and a meandering stream," "deep in the forest," "out on the prairies where beautiful horses would come when I whistled."
Even though I was growing up in the midst of World War II, I was able to visit and experience the feelings of peace in my dreams
After that, I began meeting up with one certain admirable dream companion. We rode horses together. We flew airplanes together. We traveled together in the company of a great many other people. Whenever we met, coming out from different directions in dreams, we continued on together as a happy pair.
Eventually, I dreamed of homesteading in a cottage nestled in a remote location at the end of a long road. The cottage was charming and folksy and homey. The kitchen was cheerful, with a lush, productive garden just outside the back door. I returned to this location, in dreams, over a long period of time. I was alone and lonely there, but at peace with my lot in life.
Finally, in my dreams, my own true companion came riding up the road to the cottage. We turned our backs on the cozy cottage and took off merrily on our way. I never looked back.
Additional Comments:
Because of those youthful dreams, I was more than ready and able to recognize my own true love when we met in real life after he returned from being in the army in the Korean War. We had a whirlwind courtship, a traditional wedding, and we travel this life’s adventure side by side.
My experience indicates that dreams can prepare a person to recognize one’s own true companion in life, (if that is one of the things a person does desire.)
