Dream Resolutions A common effect of Liberation is to resolve memories and their outcomes through the dream space. Our subconscious reality offers a rich landscape to truly review the past, and see what could have been; without forging our attachment to these scenarios. The following dream events show how Liberation allows us to confront both fears and hopes in dreams; resolving the weight of cellular memory embedded within us.
So just when I think I am styling having touched the bottom of the barrel up comes something new. Two dreams last night: the first one where I am being hunted through the country by my ex business partner for some infraction and the other one about facing young bullies and overcoming my fears of them by disciplining them. After this in the dream the bigger bullies appear and grab me and I tell them in an icy voice that I am willing to escalate to the point of ultra-violence and I see the uncertainty in their faces. At that moment I knew I had won, then I woke up. Now fear comes in many forms as does the overcoming of fear and the standing up to the bully is certainly the best way to overcome fear as then they stop coming as in truth they are just appearing to allow us to stand up to them at which point they cease to appear. This all felt like childhood and even teenager schoolyard stuff from the past, but the moment I took control of the fear of being beaten up in the dream, the fear related to these memories fell away. Now fear of violence being perpetuated on one, especially by bigger numbers of older people, is certainly at the core of a lot of our fears as it is real to some degree. We have this fear to protect us; to either fight or flee, but if we cave in to it, it haunts us in the shadows for life and it will always manifest at some point to push us to the point where we stand up to the bully and cause them to back down. I have no doubt that some of this fear came out of the feeling of rejection by the father, and hence the uncertainty about my own ability to defend myself, as backup would not be forthcoming. No support was felt from the father who should instil that sense of intrinsic strength in the child. No fingers to be pointed here, but also no excuses either to myself or for myself as we are warriors and we stand in the fire and burn ourselves clean so we may arise a fearless light into the world. -56-
