Dreams - Messages from the Other Side?

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

I have a client whose long time friend and ex-boyfriend has recently committed suicide. She has understandably been depressed, and having a variety of feelings. We had a few emails and she graciously allowed me to copy them here:

Debbie,

I just wondered if you could answer this for me. I had a ‘dream’ last night and all I kept hearing was Clean your spirit… clean your soul. I could not respond back and I just kept hearing it over and over. How does one clean their spirit/soul??

Wow, that’a new one for me! However, it strikes me that knowing what you’ve been going through, maybe it’s to clear your mind and energy of some of the negative or self-defeating thoughts, or any thoughts of blame or inadequacy.

There isn’t anything, in my opinion, that makes a soul or spirit “dirty”, it’s the human aspect that clouds it while we’re here. That’s the only thing that would need to be cleaned or cleared - again, only my opinion!

Thanks for responding. I had told {the deceased friend} I wanted to talk to him last night. I told him I was not scared. That if he wanted to just tell me one thing at a time that was fine. It was weird that is what was being said and when I tried to respond or “change” what was going on, I couldn’t.

Thanks for your insight. I agree with what you said. I have been horribly negative lately!

Oh, it makes even more sense if we know that {he} wants you to heal yourself of any thoughts that you could have changed things for him, or that you didn’t do something right, etc. That makes sense to me. Remember, in our dreams we may often be interpreting something as it filters to our consciousness, not always a perfect interpretation. You may understand implicitly at a deeper level, but once it filters through to your consciousness it gets distorted or perhaps misperceived, etc.

I suppose he might even be referring to cleaning your soul as in clearing your karma, in case you’re feeling any sense of responsibility towards him and his fate.

Whatever, I think you’re on the right track!
