Insomnia and I, we’re kindred spirits. But tonight was a particularly different night. I was jostled by a dream I was making every effort humanly possible to stay asleep long enough to see to the end. I wanted to make sure I wrote it down before I forgot all the details again.
It’s a rare recurring dream. I’ve only had it twice before. The first time was shortly after it all ended. The second time was years later. It starts at an exotic location I am completely unfamiliar with but I know it’s home. It’s quiet. It’s remote. I’ve gone there intentionally to be alone. I live in an all glass house with 360 degree views of this breathtaking place. All the glass doors are completely open. I’m sitting on the livingroom floor reading some papers. I’m suddenly distracted. I get up because I can sense something is changing. Like someone has reached the beach. I walk out of the house onto the grassy knoll by the sand’s edge. I can see you in the distance. To my surprise, I am not startled to see you. It’s as if I am always expecting to see you finally find me.
You’re walking slowly and pensively. You look up at the house. We see spot each other and there is a brief pause almost as if asking for permission to get closer. I’m expressionless but full of elation and expectation. I go back inside the house and sit on the livingroom floor again. Waiting. A bit later you walk up to the porch that wraps around the house and walk through the door directly in front of me. The sunset has rolled in behind you. I can’t see your face but I don’t have to. I know it’s you. We don’t say anything. Nothing needs to be said. There is quiet. There is stillness. There is peace. There is certainty. There is wholeness. 
I close all the glass doors and look out for a minute realizing then that I can finally enjoy the scenery now without always looking for you in the background. You’re here…with me.
I wake up.

Hi,
I came thanks to WordPress and your like of one of my posts. THANK YOU!
And I LOVE this dream. It tells you what your higher Self knows: you don’t need A.N.Other: s/he is already there. Always with you. Your Higher / Inner Self.
That means you don’t need to look for Prince Charming, you don’t need to ‘fall in love’ by projecting what you DON’T have in you. You can truly relate, connect and BE in love, rather than FALL – if and when it does happen.
Was that not the case with your daughter’s father?

Sabine – You left me momentarily speechless and I am never at a loss for words. I think it would be unfair to my daughter to reply to your question on such a public forum but I am truly grateful for your feedback. I loved it and I loved your blog. I can be reached at globetrottermama@gmail.com if you’d like to continue this conversation. I know I DO!!! You’ve got me intrigued Sabine!

Fascinating dream.,glass doors, the serenity,its nice to have such lovely dream.Regards.jalal
Feb 28, 2013 @ 23:49:53
Thank you Jalal. It’s nice to meet you. I agree, it was a lovely and serene dream.
Mar 01, 2013 @ 16:35:37
I agree with Sabine Kurjo McNeill’s interpretation, it was exactly the first thing i thought: “A moment’s union /alignment with the inner self or some moment’s satisfaction of having made a right decision, etc. Knowing more about the dreamer the interpretation can be closer refined to the exact reason / cause of the dream
but it is by all means a very positive one..
Mar 02, 2013 @ 22:05:01
Hello Tigress, thanks for your feedback. I agree, I feel like it was a very positive dream. When I woke up I was content and at ease.

Permission to love with the sunset’s red approval and his intentions tranparent apparently, and scenery to enjoy when peeking out between wholeness hugs that nudge shrugs of forgiveness, for clear is the window that looks out on the complete vista. Dreams. Could be?
Mar 02, 2013 @ 22:07:15
Definitely could be. Thanks Doug. Come back again.
Mar 02, 2013 @ 12:21:52
interesting interpretations. I am still pondering it.

I have had a lot of recurring dreams. They are so amazing and always get my attention!
Mar 07, 2013 @ 20:47:47
Lucky you! I wish I could remember my dreams more. I wonder if there is any meaning behind regular recurring dreams.
Mar 08, 2013 @ 14:28:03
I believe there is meaning to it. I tend to dismiss my feelings, effectively ignoring my own thoughts/feelings. My recurring dreams have appeared during times in my life when I needed to get my own attention. Once I recognize them and do something about it, they go away or evolve. It’s really surreal, but kind of cool!
Mar 21, 2013 @ 21:41:35
I think there is a lot of truth to what you’re saying. Sometimes I dream about things that happened years ago and I’m shocked that it’s still stashed away somewhere in my subconscious. I wish I had a way to resolve them so they’ll evolve and go away. I’ll definitely try it though the next time it happens. Thanks for the feedback. Really great stuff.
