Sueños

Yesterday was a pretty rough day for me. I became overwhelmed by all that I have been learning, the busy schedule, the new experiences, the physical demands , etc and my brain just shut down. But on top of that, I was trying to process some emotional/spiritual thoughts as well.

I took some time in the afternoon to read/write/pray/rest. I read some great things about life, our need for community, our need for solitude as well as our need to listen to our "inner necessity" or those parts of us that were placed in us for a purpose bigger than ourselves that we just cannot ignore. I was feeling frustrated because I don't really know what my inner necessity is..and I'd like to. Later that afternoon, I took a nap and I had a couple of dreams during my nap that I just can't shake:

Somehow I was at a concert or show of some sort. I was the girl singing in the concert, but I was also watching the whole situation. I was singing, or wanted to sing and had wanted to sing all of my life, but I had no idea why. It wasn’t a strong passion, just something I had always worked toward. People even had asked me about it and I told them I had always wanted to sing, but I never knew why.

During part of the concert, somehow we found out that another girl in the audience really wanted to sing for a living and it was her life long passion/dream. Someone asked me if she could sing the last song with me. I just stood there processing for a second and realized that the purpose that I had been interested in singing all of my life was for this one moment—to give this girl a chance to sing with a band and to help her with her dream.


I had another dream that involved a cat on a roof. Someone was trying to chase the cat away, but I was trying to protect it because somehow I knew this cat was going to inspire the first piece of music that either Beethoven or Mozart composed. I somehow saved the cat just in time, and right after that I saw this young boy watching the cat and getting excited about a tempo or a melody, and I knew that a huge string of events had just begun that would effect millions of people in the world and that my whole purpose in life had been to save that cat.



I love dreams, and I really do think they are important. If there is one thing in my life that points to God's existence, it's dreams. I'm still trying to process these...
