You know how little you see when you go outside at night, without yard lights on? At first, every thing just looks dark, but then if you just stand still for a moment, your vision adjusts and you can see although less clearly than in full sunlight. Shapes emerge out of the dark. And what did you have to do for the night vision to come into effect? Nothing. All you have to do is pause for a moment. Let the energy of your night vision shift. It is magical how shapes emerge from the dark. Our vision adjusts in just a few moments. We stay present and our eyes focus and our ability to see returns differently.
Notice how our dreams are like that too. At first we see the surface movements in the dream, the characters, the story, the feeling.
Then we recognize other waves of energy. Why do these people or places feel familiar? What energy changes when the characters, events or settings of the dreams change? What do we notice in the patterns? If we asked our spirit guides for a look ahead, did our dreams show us an answer yet? Just keep looking. They will answer us, sometimes it takes longer than we would like or the results might look different than what we expected.
Notice how your dreams can shift into night vision mode, same as your eyesight does. Notes you made of last week's dreams may be seen in a different light this week because of things that have happened since then or continuations of the dreams may have altered our initial impressions.
Dreams come to us while we sleep because our spirit never sleeps, and so it is wandering the universe gathering information and ideas for us. It is up to us to jot down whatever we can and then later on try to decipher it. Patterns will reveal themselves quickly.
We move more into night, the darkest portion of the year now, once we reach the equinox when we have one day of equal parts day and night before the nights get progressively longer. We will be using our night vision more, in a deeper way. In so many ways, the darkest part of the year is the richest. Many traditions, holidays, the inward reflection at family gatherings, taking time to steep our thoughts in good books, videos, art and music. Time when students are deep in their studies and so are many adults who want to make some kind of positive change in their life.
We might shift our focus and need to realign our energies. While we are currently in a time of harvest and expressing gratitude for that, we will also explore ideas about what we want to plant in the next crop. Just as farmers pay attention to the balance in their soil, we may need to re-balance the energies in our home life, relative to our work.
When we use our night vision to see into the dark, we look through the dark to find the light. As our eyes adjust to the night vision, the dark evolves into shapes, and we can see the relations between the objects. More light will bring more details, and by simply having the patience to focus, things come into our field of vision in a way we can understand. Darkness which blocks out everything eventually gives way to light.

I always love hearing from you, so if you feel like sending me a note, calling or coming to see me, please do!
Have a wonderful day!
