Dream Lovers Episode 13: Waking Up In A Dream

Waking up in a dream to meet your younger self.In this episode, Patch and Sara returned to their regular format, analyzing a listener-submitted dream! In this dream, the dreamer kept waking up over and over again, only to find herself still dreaming. Not only that, she kept getting younger with each successive dream!

First, Sara pulled the Sky Bridge card. This was the first time Sara has pulled the same card for an episode more than once. Sky Bridge is about how life has brought you to a moment that is right for making a quantum leap. If you wanted to make a quantum leap in life, what would that look like?

Waking Up In A Dream – Dream Story

Here is another first! In this episode, we featured an international listener for the first time, a 20-year old young woman from Argentina. Whenever she has a bad dream, she can focus on it easily and wake up. In this dream, she was in high school. She started to feel like she knew what would happen next. One of her friends told her she needed to wake up, but when she opened her eyes, she was still dreaming. Now, she was still in high school, but a few years younger. Then, the process repeated. The dreamer woke up three times in a row, getting younger each time, before waking up for real. When she finally awoke, she was still unsure if she was still “trapped” in the dream or in the conscious world.

Patch clarified that the dreamer waking up in a dream was not practicing lucid dreaming, but rather reaching a state of pre-lucidity. Patch’s first question was if the dreamer is going through a spiritual awakening in her own life, which this dream may symbolize. Mystic G.I. Gurdjieff theorized that we all are asleep. Our monotonous jobs, smart phones, and television may all contribute to this. Sara pointed out that many of us are “hypnotized” as the world understands the term. When we are hypnotized by a professional, the idea is actually to wake us up from the fog we are in from our daily lives. Again, Patch emphasized that the dream is likely suggesting the dreamer is ready to experience a spiritual awakening. Either that, or she has been awakened, and now her spirit is ready to reach another level.

Lesson From Thor On Waking Up In A Dream

Regarding the dreamer aging backward in each stage of the dream, Patch reminded us that when we are younger, we are more energetic and less inhibited about taking chances. Perhaps her subconscious is urging her to return to the open mind of her youth, and follow her bliss. Sara sees a spiritual awakening in itself as getting in touch with your younger self. It also means letting go of the worries of adult life that stifle us. Let your soul lead and bring you back to your true self.

Patch once equated the “follow your bliss” mantra to the activities or possessions we define ourselves as. The film “Thor: Ragnarok” actually cleared that misconception up for him. When Thor lost his hammer, he felt powerless. Odin reminded Thor that he’s not “The God of Hammers”, but rather “The God of War”. Whether or not he has his hammer, that has not changed. Don’t worry about the hammer, or the tool. Worry about what you personally bring to the world. Sometimes, your soul just needs to relax a bit before getting back to the task at hand.
