This moving dream report was shared by a woman in one of my workshops. We all shared in her joy as she recalled her amazement and delight at watching her father take off on his great adventure.<\/p>\n

At the time of her dream, her father was very frail; his body was failing him. Through the dream, she was able to share the exhilaration of being \u00a0liberated from a worn-out body, able to fly free, like a rocket man. The dream prepared her, and helped her prepare the family, for her father’s passing. When that came a week later, there was a sense of blessing and deep comfort, a certain knowledge that in leaving one life, her dad was entering a larger one.<\/p>\n

I have heard many thousands of dreams, and recorded many thousands of my own. Yet I never cease to feel wonder and gratitude for all that our dreams will give us, if only we will pay attention.<\/p>\n
