I am currently learning what happens when I leave my heart and allow my mind to run free.

Dream: Removing Band-Aids

I was at a family recreation center with my husband and kids. I was talking with someone the entire time I was dreaming but can’t remember the conversation now. However, I do recall that while we were talking I sat down and began to remove band-aids from the bottom of socked feet. There were lines of them across the bottom of my foot and they were difficult to remove. I started to pick them off in groups but a top layer would come off but the bottom layer would remain. I eventually pulled of my sock and pulled them off all at once.

The whole time this was going on my husband, who was bowling, kept missing the pins and getting gutter balls. He was being instructed on how to bowl properly and I suggested he try using his left hand instead of his right. He still missed the pins.

There was also two small children – one a little toddler girl and the other an infant boy. I was watching them intently while taking off my band-aids.

Interpretation

I awoke hearing my Companion reminding me that any resistance will only delay the inevitable, usually in not so good ways. He reassured me that events in my life will move me in the direction intended and to not resist them even if they are uncomfortable or seem drastic. I kept pushing the fact that I have free-will. Apparently, though, in certain situations and in order to align with one’s prearranged path in life, free-will can be a double edged sword.

The dream symbolism of the band-aids on my feet is still strong in my mind. My first thought is of the message I received that my energy has been anchored. Was this why I was seeing my feet? Was I perhaps not fully anchored and thus had protection (bandages) that I no longer needed? Or is it that my feet symbolize my foundation, understanding, independence, mobility and freedom? Taking off the bandages could symbolize that I no longer need to heal these things and am ready to stand on my own two feet.

The bowling is also interesting. Bowling gutter balls, which my husband was doing time and time again, is symbolic of being in a rut in some aspect of your life. Despite listening to suggestions he just could not hit the pins. I can’t help but think this symbolizes a discussion or consideration that this area of my life needs attention.

Considerations

Since waking I have been popping back and forth between head and heart. I have so many questions that there are just no answers to now. I only get snippets of information and the rest is withheld until needed. This means I can see only to the next mile marker on the road of life. What lies beyond is still a mystery.

My mind is resisting the path I am seeing ahead. My heart just accepts. My mind has tons of doubt. My heart just accepts. My mind tries to see the future and all possibilities therein. My heart is calm and knows all will be well.

It’s so obvious that the heart is the place I need to be. Tell my mind that! I have to use my mind to live in 3D, so it is not going anywhere. The challenge is to keep my mind under wraps. I need to put a big sign on all the tangents that arise in my mind that says, “No access” or “Dead End”.
