Can’t recall much of my dreams last night. 😦 Hopefully one will come to mind as I type.

I did get a vision with a message, though.

In the in-between I was talking to myself (or maybe there was someone there) and said, “In 100 days I will dump IT ALL.” The feeling with my words was desire to completely unburden myself. In response, I found myself traveling through a field of trees covered in pinkish-white blooms. I heard as I flew through them, “50 days. [Have] courage.”

When I woke up I thought, “Cherry trees.” We don’t have cherry trees that bloom here in Texas but I’ve seen them before, when I traveled to the east coast. The tree blooms also looks very similar to peach tree blooms and crape myrtle blossoms.

50 days from today is Tuesday, May 9th.

The sakura (cherry blossoms) bloom in Japan from mid-March through early May.

Cherry blossom symbolism:

“They have come to symbolize ephemerality or transient nature of life. This reflects a… Buddhist concept in Japanese culture known as “mono no aware,” or roughly, “the pathos of things,” which recognizes both the beauty and mortality inherent in life.”

“It is a time associated with the end of one chapter, and the opening of the next. In Japanese, the word “natsukashi” reflects a kind of nostalgia tinged with both happiness and sadness.” Source

For some time now I’ve felt a subconscious urgency to drop everything – work, relationships, self-identity – and just leave. This very same feeling is what accompanied the above vision.

To consider dropping everything feels…..freeing. The main reason I don’t act on the feeling is the not-knowing of what would come after. What would I do? Where would I go? Who would I become? My attachments in life keep me firmly rooted in place.

I do recall my dreams now. 🙂

I was in a gym sitting on a workout bench. A very muscular man was on the other side of the bench sitting under a cable machine. His face looked pained. We were talking. I told him how much I enjoyed working out and how I was a certified personal trainer. I specifically recall telling him that I have never used my certification because it brings me anxiety.

At one point I noticed he was favoring his right leg, putting his hand down to massage it every once in a while. I gave him some suggestions on how to help. His reply to my suggestions was to admit defeat, specifically citing his aging body. He told me he was 50 years old and always knew his body would one day force him to stop [working out].

Another another….

The dream began with me confronting a problem. I was in a relationship with a man while I was still married to a woman. I decided to talk to her about ending our marriage. My wife had short, cropped, blonde hair and was shorter than me. She resembled a feminine man. When I told her the news she took it gracefully. She walked up to me, pulled me to her chest and kissed the top of my head while stroking my hair. She told me how much she loved me and that it was okay. She asked me if wanted to marry this man. I said with some force, “No! I will never marry again.”

And one more….

I was on a long walk in a rural setting. Music was playing in my headphones and I was in high spirits. As the music played my mood rose higher. I began to think of working out after my run, which I hadn’t planned to do. Suddenly, I took off in a sprint. There was a moment when I second guessed my decision because I wasn’t wearing the proper workout clothing, specifically a running bra and running shoes. I decided to keep running and with just a thought I was wearing the correct running gear. I could feel the wind in my hair as I ran. The speed at which I ran was so much that it felt like I was flying. The scenery changed from a more rural setting to urban. As I entered an intersection I began to sing along to the music, my mood rising even higher. I felt free.

I woke up feeling invigorated and positive. A song verse was on my mind – “I don’t want your desire. I just wanna to be free.”

I am familiar with the song but didn’t know all the lyrics. Looking at them I recognize the song very much mirrors how I’ve been feeling for a while.
