Dear SMYD,
I’m not a star athlete, or even a baseball
player, but I’ve dreamed twice now about the famous ace pitcher for the San
Francisco Giants, Tim Lincecum. In the
first dream, I’m walking into a big league ball park for a workout and Lincecum
falls in beside me. We toss a baseball
back and forth between us, and then we start jogging along together. Tim has a big smile on his face; it’s a sunny
day, and I feel great to be there with him even though it’s so incredible I can
hardly believe it’s true. Some scouts on
the sidelines seem to be impressed with me, probably because I’m there with
Tim.
In the second dream I’m with Tim Lincecum
again. In this dream, I am in a gym or
workout area and Timmy is there. I was just
a custodian, or other low-ranking employee.
He seems surprised to see me. I think
I interrupted his thoughts or his workout routine. Though he’s startled at first, he engages
me. He seems to do this out of duty or
obligation at first, but even though the relationship is odd or awkward, we
soon start having fun with the workout.

Dear Star-Struck,
You don’t mention what’s going on in your
waking life, but your dreams offer some insights. The suggestion in both cases is that somehow,
you’re getting ready for the “big leagues” in your chosen endeavors. You’ve been putting in the work as
demonstrated when you find yourself entering into a big league stadium to work
out on your own; then a major league player, one you hold in high esteem, falls
into step with you, and tosses the ball with you as an equal. He jogs with you, smiling and relaxed with
you at his side. He accepts your
presence as natural and so should you! The
scouts are impressed by your appearance there, even if you still can’t quite
believe it. You are coming into the major
leagues.
Your second dream seems to reaffirm the
notion. While you may think of yourself
as a low-ranking employee, not in the same league as those around you; the
circumstances may feel surprising, odd, or awkward, but go ahead and get used
to it. You’re working out like a big
leaguer, and you’re accepted into the realm of high performers!
In your dreams, it felt great for you to be
there, and after an initial phase of incredulity or awkwardness, you fit right
in. Your next step in your waking life
is to get comfortable in your new surroundings and do what you’ve prepared
yourself to do. You may set aside your
lack of confidence and consider yourself to be where you belong - in the big
leagues. Your dreams show that you have
the work ethic, the skill, and the talent, just like star pitcher Tim Lincecum.
You deserve to play in that arena.
Congratulations! You’ve earned the elevated status you’re
about to enjoy!
Sweet Dreams to You, Dear Dreamer!
SMYD
