Always loved the Roy Orbison song "In Dreams". In dreams we get to travel anywhere without the heavy bodily "tag along". I truly believe that in dreams we can visit those who may be too far away to easily visit. We can travel beyond barriers that limit us in this material world we abide in. It's so much fun to wake up and remember a dream that was pleasant and matched us up with someone far removed from us in every day life. My favorite ones are "flying dreams". We've all had them....Admit it! They are so much fun and so exhilarating. I haven't had one of those in a long while, but still love them. Our dreams can help us release the tension and angers of a day. They can give us insight into our problems. They can inspire our creative side by not having conscious distractions. Some nights I look forward to sleep so I can connect somehow, somewhere with those I think of but rarely see. Keep something to write with by your bed so you can write down what you find in the ethereal world of dreamstate. These memories quickly leave us as we awaken to the everyday life. There are so many clues in our dreams that you could spend all of your time trying to figure out their meaning........I have found that repetitive dreams really seem to be trying to tell you something. Listen to your soul as it returns from it's nightly travels. Everything happens for a reason and dreams are no exception.

spiritual studies
I am studying Kabbalah right now as I have been interested in different religions since I was about 13 years old. I have also delved in Eastern religions, Christianity and Judaism. Kabbalah is enlightening and so real. It is, however, hard to deal with people who drain your spirit with negativity when you are trying to rid yourself of it by your learning process.
I find people who are judgemental and hypercritical seem to be caught in jealousy, anger, fear, and self doubt. These are all such destructive emotions and they tend to push people away who might genuinely wish to be friends with you. I have been in these very emotional prisons and do not wish to return. I never know if it is right to leave these people out of my life, or stay around and be the "light" that they need. Kabbalah teaches us that we must always share the light within us to become more of the light ourselves. I have found, for myself, that material things and aspirations are not always what we need, but what our ego wants. Ego is our own worst enemy. We try to become someone or some thing that we were never meant to be. We see other's lives as more fulfilling, or rewarding. In reality, every circumstance has it's own problems and rewards. We need to learn to walk in someone elses shoes before we utter any judgements upon them or their choices. We each travel our own road and only we can choose each twist and turn. Choose wisely and never judge the well traveled road as any better than the small overgrown path. Greater wisdom may come in exploring the lesser known road. The well traveled path may be easier; but it also may lead to less of a spiritual awakening than the lesser traveled one.

Seems like every day we run into people who harbor negativity and anger. I am trying to work on my own and have enough trouble taking that on without encountering others.
Sometimes it is very hard not to lash out and say "STOP"..........you are intruding on my life.
We cannot solve every problem in this life; but, we can try to solve our own one at a time.
