I have a dream to relate from last night, but first must present some background information, to put it into context.
As many here will remember, I'm a big advocate of eating raw green vegetables, particularly in the form of green smoothies. However, I had recently gone 2 or 3 weeks without one; my last experience with one had been bad (as it's been winter here, I couldn't grow my own greens, and had been buying kale at the local Wal-Mart....and something in, or on, the greens in that last bag had made me ill with diarrhea.) So for that time I had been eating a mostly conventional American diet (albeit without processed foods).
About a week ago I started to get sick. I was sneezing a lot, and thought it was because of spring allergies, but by Sunday it was clear that I had contracted the flu. At the same time, my insomnia (which I have battled all of my life) worsened considerably; from Saturday night to Tuesday night I got perhaps three hours, total, of sleep. So I have felt wretched this week.
Yesterday afternoon, I began craving a green smoothie, and decided to risk the Wal-Mart kale once again; I bought all the ingredients I needed, and had a pitcher for supper. Almost at once, I began to feel better; my nose stopped running, and my fatigue lifted. After supper, I went to my computer, and cast around for a good podcast to listen to. I ended up at Peter Tongue's Awakening to Conscious Co-Creation site, scrolled back through the archives, and found a show about "green foods". As I listened, the guest spoke about how raw green vegetables stimulate our bodies to produce Serotonin (a mood enhancer), which the brain converts into Melatonin, which is the body's sleep trigger (talk about synchronicity!)
I went to bed last night about 9, and for the first time in weeks, had a deep, restful, full night of sleep, with only one brief interruption. Now to the dream:
I awoke in the middle of the night after a very interesting dream. Unfortunately I did not write it down right away, so I have forgotten the specifics, but I remember this much: it was one of those dreams in which I was both a participant and an observer at the same time, and was expressed in metaphor and symbolism. I experienced an adult re-birth, and was shown how it was connected to making the correct choices about diet and nutrition (for example, I saw cut-away diagrams of myself surrounded by various form-fitting aluminum sheet metal shrouds, representing symbolic wombs, with various sizes of openings in the umbilical area, representing differing choices of nutritional streams, and so on). Although highly symbolized, the greater message of the dream was immediately clear to me: by taking responsibility for what goes into my body, I had gotten over the "hump" that lately has stalled my progress (both spiritual and physical). 2011 is not 1981; at this stage, we really must be assiduous in eating for 4th density. It is as important as any other preparation.
This morning, after finishing my green tea, I will have a hearty breakfast of green smoothie and tinned sardines.
On a darker note, last night, in two separate other dreams, I was warned by dream characters about impending "wind gusts up to Mach 1" (i.e., 770 mph at sea level). Let us hope that such an event does not come to pass, as it would make the Sendai tsunami seem like a frolic in the park. Winds of that speed will rip flesh from bone, and soil from rock.
