A Revealing Dream Can Make You Change Your Life

The truth about yourself in the hearts of others shows something has to change.

Imagine for a moment that you just laid down into your bed at night for sleep. You’re tired and you turn off the light, roll over and settle in for rest. Before, you might have taken longer to doze while your thoughts of the day fade.

Tonight is different as you drop into a deep somnambulism, a vivid dream state.

The deeper you go, the lighter you feel. Soon after, you perceive yourself rising as if leaving your body, and yet you remain calm. As you continue to raise, you glance down and see the shell of your body laying still below you.

You sense a strong awareness of curiosity more than fear. Within, you know what this “could” mean, but unsure how it happened. As you rise further, you pass through the ceiling, being pulled into a powerful vortex. You fly faster and faster and faster.

Stars appear all around of many hues; some colors you cannot describe. Yet, you continue to accelerate until the stars become fluctuating spots of energy. With the increasing speed, the surrounding darkness turns to waves and flashes flying past you.

There’s one tiny bright area in the distance that grows in size as you’re drawn nearer to it. The closer you get, you realize the radiant opening through sunlit clouds, as if right before sunset. As you fly through it, you hear an enormous explosion that shakes you. You don’t know from where it originated, but it seems like it came from everywhere.

Overwhelmed by all these experiences, you notice yourself fading into an even deeper sleep. When you awaken, you are laying on a cool white marble floor. The refreshing coolness of the tiles against your face revitalizes you to get up and look around a white room. There are no windows. The area is lit by a large circular skylight above you. A single recliner sits before two large monitors mounted on a wall.

The screen on the left displays life as you knew it this morning. It’s as though you are watching a live view of the people in your story. In some views, you watch impactful parts of your life. In others, the people you know show a sad countenance as they describe how they miss you.

The realization kicks in that you are now on the other side of your life; your days together with each person are over. As you draw your attention to each individual, it plays your history with them on the right screen. Each experience plays out… the kind words, the careless and the hurtful.

Now, as an observer, you see and feel the emotional impacts you had on each person. You recall important messages you wanted to share, but never did because you thought there would be another opportunity… someday.

Now, “someday” will never be.

With that realization, you get a glimpse of how those truthful and uplifting words could have blessed their lives… IF you had only followed through. The same cycle repeats for the many people you touched in your life with either kindness or carelessness.

Interspersed amid each interaction, you see strangers with which you had momentary contact. You now have an awareness of your impact on them… times you showed kindness or could have helped, but walked away. We have the power to make people feel loved and important, or crush their heart and spirit with an unkind word.

After looking back on your life, both monitors turned off. That was your life and with it, you’ve seen missed opportunities to bless. You thought your time would never end.

It did.

Unsure what lay ahead for you now, you push back into the recliner and replay the missed opportunities in your mind. Many times you could have shared your heart with people you cared about, but a lack of confidence or sometimes courage held you back.

The mountain of missed moments to bless overwhelms you. Resting in the chair, you close your eyes and fade back into a deep slumber. In your dream, you wish for opportunities to make things right, seek forgiveness and build people up.

You realize the enriching power of the life God gives us draws upon the love and kindness we share with others.

A beeping sound emanates behind your thoughts and grows louder; it’s your alarm clock. When you open your eyes and awaken, you’re in the same bed from last night. You realize your life’s experiences played out in a vivid dream, and you now have a second chance.
