My Spiritual Journey

Last weekend was very stressful for me. The stress was mainly caused by a comment made by one of the supervisers at my place of employment. Due to the comment made I felt I may lose my job. Also I was going through a little bit of the Holliday blues which just made it worse.

Instead of praying and having faith. I allowed myself to drown in a sea of misery,and self doubt. Over the weekend I had two dreams. They were powerful vivid dreams.

The first dream was about fears. In my dreams my fears are usually symbolized by either snakes or alligators. In this dream my symbol of fear was alligators.

The Alligator Dream

In this dream I was on a wooden raft in a dark eerie swamp. An old friend of mine,Chris was on the raft with me.I knew I had been to this swamp before and it was infested with alligators. (And, I have dreamt about this swamp many times in the past.) Slowly our raft moved through the swamp. I was overcome by fear. I knew it would take nothing for the alligators to flip our raft.

Anxiously, I watched for them as we traveled through the dark swamp.

I heard something moving through the water and I turned to look. Expecting the worst. Instead I saw to women walking through the swamp. A raft had floated up behind us. The women placed something on the raft. To my surprise it was two baby seals. They were solid white with black spots. I realized that

if the baby seals were living in that swamp, and the women were walking through it safely. The alligators must be gone.Than I woke up.

The next night I had another dream. The dream was about a white fish. In my mind fish symbolize faith.

I was standing in a wooded area. In my hands was a dying white fish. I looked down at the fish. In it's eyes I saw an incredible sadness. Slowly it lifted up it's tail and tried to move. Suddenly, I was filled with a strong desire to save it. I walked over to a nearby creek and I placed the dying fish into the sparkling water.The fish sprang back to life and swam off. I woke up with a feeling of peace. My faith was renewed. And I knew that know matter what things would be alright. And they are.
