Dear
SMYD,
My new
husband and I will be relocating to Arizona soon for his job. We’re both excited and anxious about such a
big change and about moving away from our hometown and our families. Arizona is about as different as any place
could be from our home state of Missouri!
But I keep it positive to balance out his fears.
Here’s my
dream: My husband and I were in Alaska
in a stadium that seemed to be made of ice and rock. We were on one side, and in the center was
deep, icy water. We were there to see
whales, my favorite creatures! So
peaceful and wise! I saw one breach out
of the water, but my husband didn’t see it.
I pointed to where it had been, but I knew his eyes weren’t strong
enough to make it out.
Then
there was an avalanche and we were carried downward with the snow. There was also a huge wave of water. I was concerned for a moment, but I realized
that even though we were being carried down and down on the crest of these two
powerful forces of nature, we managed to stay upright and stable, ahead of the
crush, almost as if we had our feet on the ground.
Then,
instead of being at the bottom of a heap of rubble, we wound up in a high place
almost like a ski resort. We were so
happy to be on top of it all.
What a
weird dream for a newlywed! Can you help
me sort out what it might mean for us?
Signed,
Snow
Surfing in Alaska
Dear Snow
Surfer,
You and
your husband are on the brink of big changes in your life! Your dream seems to be taking a “big picture”
view for you, offering peace of mind as you move toward the unknown.
Your
dream begins with the two of you in a “foreign” setting that might be parallel
to the way you’re thinking of your new home state. Alaska presents a complete change of just
about every aspect of life, just as you say Arizona will. The setting you anticipate might not be of
ice and snow, but forbidding nevertheless.
And yet, you’re there to see whales, that is, to see perhaps the mostwondrous form of life in a seemingly inhospitable place. Your dream offers this to you as evidence
that you can experience beauty and joy where you least expect it.
Even in
the physical and emotional upheaval of your move – the avalanche and giant wave
– you and your husband ride out the experience remaining on your feet and
stable. Your dream suggests you’ve made
a good marriage Dear Dreamer! Help your
husband enjoy the ride; you’ll wind up on top.
Sweet
Dreams to You!
SMYD
