Sometimes dreams like that can be your mind's way of pushing you away from a cliff. We are created with a strong drive for self-preservation. The mind is very powerful. Moreso than people realize.
Mind-Body-Spirit work together.
I loved that you shared that sparrow, thank you.

Remembering the dream more....Mine was a dream of being abandoned, left with no chance of God's Presence....
what a feeling of dread, my God...such emptiness and loss...with no end in sight. (Oh my.)

(I was a devout Catholic at the time, btw. Oh, how kids eat up Catholic images, the
red and gold satin robes, frankincense, sopranos at High Mass, tales of floating angelic saints...
I still love all the pomp.)

Between you and me, hahaha...just to say....I have been in that Void that Eastern
Scriptures speak of (not in a dream)...a vacuum, absolute black pure 'nothingness'.....BUT....
there was Pure Awareness....
and I became aware that one Pure Awareness was ME!

Ha. No fear. But, after that, I certainly understood why there is a Creation of any kind...what
a place of utter Alone-ness....forever.

I understood why a singular 'Mind as this' would create 'something else', being the Only One....alone.

pretty much a no- nonsense -shot- from the- hip woman...as I was going to be being sent back,
I was given advice to invest in. 2 things..
I had no money so didn't, told friends that also did not....I would be very happy now if I had!!!

God was nowhere. I rem it as if it were last night.

Not all of these are like the Wizard of Oz beautiful......my sister worked for the Palm Springs School District back in the 70's and was talking about some eternal things with another gal. She related how she had a NDE and she went into a black horrendous place with swirling SNAKES (like a tornado) and she went nutz in fear. She came out of it and went down to the first church she could find and accepted the Lord the next day.........that would get your attention.

Yes, that's why I didn't want to elaborate.
