Perception or Truly Seeing, How Do We Each Honor the Process of WA?

You know when you have a dream that was so real it completely holds you even when you awakened? That was my morning call today. The dream was about one of my daughter's. I was told to arrive at the hospital as she was needing surgery.

Whoa. That is enough to completely terrify any parent, yes?

But apparently, I had been told about this previously, but somehow it did not register.(That is a clue something is going to happen in the dream, right? What parent does not remember something like this?)

I rush to the hospital, in the dream. Only to find there will be quite a long wait. So I settle in with all the other anxious families awaiting news of their loved ones. I sit there for hours. Others are being called by the nurses station and given information. I on the other hand, am just left to sit.

I am feeling perplexed. What could take this long without anyone even bothering to let me know the progress? (When will this dream end??)

I have sauntered up to the nurses station a few times, just hoping for a tidbit. But nothing is coming.

OK, I am going to stay calm and await what is coming. Finally, hours later, a nurse comes to tell me, that there is a problem with the surgery and they will be amputating my daughter's foot.

This is starting to feel real, not like a dream.

Umm. What? Amputating? What are we talking about ? There have been some complications. We will let you know as we progress. Really? That is all you are going to tell me?

Did you ever notice that in a dream, things come in waves that are not always connected information?

Finally, I am notified that the doctor is ready to see me. I take a huge breath and hope for the best. I am sitting alone here, holding my heart tightly.

The doctor does not say much. Other than I can see my daughter in a few minutes. I am filled with gratitude, she is alive.

So back to my seat I go, and still holding my breath.

I am finally escorted to my daughter's recovery room, so grateful to see her.

But then it registers, what is wrong with this picture? She is standing up! Huh?

OK, this is a dream, things are always jumping out at us in non-logical forms in dreams, yes?

So it turns out, this amputation was not really that at all. But rather a much smaller surgical procedure where the side of the little toe was cut away. What? Please give me a moment to understand what is going on here. I think I am confused.

Imagine the surprise of having to readjust from a larger drama to one that is not even a drama? I know what you are thinking here..ah the drama queen arrives...

The dream felt like it was a purveyor of opening my eyes. That sometimes we live in a space of not truly hearing or seeing what is in front of us. Do you know what I mean?

How often do we think we have heard what someone is saying, only to re-interpret it to be what we want it to be?

That was my come away from this dream. Am I guilty of this? Is this something to really examine?

And what I wanted to really clarify I realized is, about being with and in the process of WA.

We are given this gift of opportunity. Do we choose to only see a part that we want? Or do we realize that every single step is the way to the brass ring? Are we willing to take each step or just see what we think is important?

Do we understand that information is presented in a way to build on each step so that we do indeed build an infrastructure that will feed us later?

It is a waiting game. It is a perseverance stance. It is understanding that long term satisfaction is coming if we are willing to forego immediate gratification. Whoa! Are we willing to wait? To put in that time?

Back to the dream and what I think it was showing to me. This dream was so real to me. And I now understand it.

If we look for drama, we will find it. If we choose to truly open our eyes and hearts, we will find exactly what is intended for our success. And see the clarity of the truth. Not as our perception of the truth, but the reality.

It is the choice of seeing, looking and letting go, of preconceived notions that allow us to open our minds to all that awaits us.It is having the patience to wait for the Universe to show us what we truly need.

So, if anyone else is having dreams that are kind of unsettling, please know, we are on the right track. Just make sure your eyes are really seeing, and your ears are fully open. And we are willing to take this walk each step of the way.

There is nothing more we need here at WA. Just follow the steps. And isn't that the perfect metaphor for how we do life too? The gift is in the process. Our determination is the course.

It is only complicated when we choose the drama.

Here is to unfettered success for all of us. Take off the rose colored glasses.

We don't need them. It is already amazing here at Wealthy Affiliate. We are entering the riches beyond our dreams, because we just entered the realm of possibility.

In peace and gratitude,
