A dream

Yesterday, I had a peaceful night.I dreamed of animals and felt that I must be in heaven. Since I was a child I always dreamed of animals. I was convinced at one point that each animals bear a meaning. Dreaming of a chicken means there is going to be a trouble. A cat is a symbol of a friend. A snake is a given task I hated. A fish is getting a nice surprise. Well I couldn't say that was that...maybe it is something one should consider...intangible..

But, yesterday I saw many animals in my dream..I couldn't even recognize most of it. I only remember feeling very happy and peaceful. There were animals playing with me. In my dream, there was also someone who seemed to be the ruler of the place and surprisingly I wasn't intimidated by this person. In fact, this person was explaining things to me and was very approachable.

One clear vivid image that I saw was a tiger pelt at the roof top of a hut where the both of us (me and the ruler) seated. I pointed the pelt to him and said " That's a tiger, right?" He nodded in agreement. I thought he smiled too. I was putting a lot of attention observing the tiger. It was a very small sized tiger with very beautiful skin + fur. I was studying the tiger which I consider beautiful but small sized when my dream ended.

What happened last night was, before I went to sleep I read this one book written by Robert Kee entitled "The 25 cents Meal and $50 Buffet". He was writing about his ministry in Operation Hope Foundation Ltd. (OHF). Much of the information can be read(HERE)

What he wrote intrigued me. He was right when he said we suffer from what he termed happiness conditioning where we are conditioned to equate luxury with happiness. Aren't we?

Just then, before I went to sleep I had a "small talk" with God. That was when I had one of the most peaceful nights and had this one of the happiest dreams in my life.

I hope, there is hope in every people's heart that they are no longer dissuaded by their harsh present circumstances.

Live your life unselfishly!
