Written by Laurie Hayes


Some people dismiss dreams as nonsense, thought patterns running amuck as we sleep because we are not conscious and in a position to control them.

Others believe that a dream is meant to serve a purpose and provide information that our conscious mind is unable to recognize.

So many believe that dreams are meant to serve and guide, that numerous books, websites, workshops, etc. have been created onrepparttar very subject of dream interpretation.

Although I have had some dreams that have made no sense whatsoever, and I wouldn’t even try to look for a message in them, I have had many insightful dreams that have guided my life profoundly.

By acting onrepparttar 129182 feeling a dream gave me, I was able to create a positive impact inrepparttar 129183 life of another. Here is how.

Throughout grade school, I had a best friend. After entering college, our paths separated as we pursued our individual goals.

We crossed paths every once in a while inrepparttar 129184 twenty years following high school, but encounters were few and far between.

About a year ago, I dreamt about my long lost friend. The dream really carried no meaning for me and I dismissed it as my mind recycling old memories.

A couple of nights later, I dreamt of her again. “Gee, that’s odd,” I thought, “to dream of her twice in one week.”

A few days later I had a third dream about her and in this one I sensed she was lost, unhappy, and confused.

I could see that she was pulling away from her husband and looking for something or someone outside of her marriage.

I felt compelled to contact her and one evening, decided to call.

We enjoyed 20 minutes of general chitchat and excitement over how nice it was to connect after so many years.
