..Reparenting yourself through dreams..

I am in a room with myself as a child of around 7-9 and we are cleaning out an animal cage.

There's another girl in the room who keeps climbing on top of the child me, and sitting and lying on her heavily.

I watch as my child-self keeps telling her to stop and that she doesn't like it, while the other girl carries on.

Eventually I step in and sharply tell the girl to stop.

I go toward my child-self who is now upset and crying, and I hold her in front of me and tell her:

"Your boundaries are always valid. What you want and need is always important and necessary to share and that will get more important as you grow older."

.

.

It's important to note here that this was not a 'lucid' or controlled moment in my dream-

although I mostly hold a level of 'witness consciousness' in sleep.

This was a spontaneous and unexpected moment where my inner self stepped up to give this advice.

There is a highly empathic, intelligent and intuitive part of us that often appears in dreams, to offer insights or reflections.

That part is aware and witnessing our entire lives and knows the ins-and-outs of our emotional and spiritual experience.

This is the Self that we get into closer contact with as we choose to walk the path of self-awareness and spiritual growth.

.

.

We have the chance to re-teach ourselves all of what we consider important and necessary tools and values that contribute to our deepest contentment, empowerment and safety.

There is no cutt-off point,

No age where we stop being able to learn and heal.

And we can start today,

Now,

Tonight.
