Recently I had this magical dream of me deep under serene clear blue oceanwaters breathing peacefully, and meditating in easy “seated” yoga pose. Such a beautiful dream.

I love investigating what my dreams mean. I tend to have prophetic dreams, which almost always come true in reality. Those dreams are often encrypted in symbols and clues, so it sometimes takes a while to analyze and interpret what they mean.

This one though was very easy to understand. You might already know some of what I have been through, specifically the past few years. And I have been navigating some of the most overwhelming emotional and stressful situations in my life, one after the other like a current of unstoppable waves.

Probably I thought I was done two years ago and ready to move on but alas. Sometimes your psyche can be so traumatized by events that you didn’t even realize there was any trauma. However, I did get over a lot and made it though to where I am now. There is a silver lining, the waves are the threads of life and if the waves end so does the rope of life.

Stability is an illusion, and realizing this only makes me happier than ever to know what has been is just that. There’s more to come, and it’s neither good or bad. It’s just an extension of what already is.

Only now I can truly say I am consciously facing whatever waves come with a sense of calm, control, and adaptability. I am not cold, distant or out of touch. My reluctant attitude to chaos is simply a reflection of a high degree of emotional resilience and the discovery of inner strength.

This dream explains exactly why I am the way I am today. In dreams, water typically represents emotions, the subconscious mind. Calm waters represent calm mind. The ability to breathe underwater is a powerful symbol of overcoming adversity and adapting to a situation that might "drown" others.

The yoga pose in the dream adds a specific layer of interpretation, relating to balance, self-control, spiritual practice, and inner peace. This assures me I am approaching challenges with a measured, composed, and spiritual mindset. And I am loving it. There’s nothing like home. Nothing like having peace of mind in a storm.

Have you had a similar dream lately?

Is Suffering a Choice?

A truly intriguing question: Is suffering a choice? This contemplation was sparked when he encountered a quote by Haruki Murakami on someone’s status, which suggested that while is inevitable, is a decision.

These words struck a chord with him, as it was the first time he had seen someone differentiate between pain and suffering.

People often use the term "suffering" to describe their emotional or physical distress. However, upon closer examination, suffering is not simply a feeling or emotion.

So What Is Suffering, Then?

As we delve into this concept, we can uncover an essential understanding of how pain manifests. Pain can result from injury, whether it is self-inflicted or caused by others, leading to wounds that hurt, bleed, and disrupt our lives. How do we, as humans, respond to such injuries? Typically, we endure the initial acute phase and then begin treatment to restore normal function.

In this context, what does suffering signify? Suffering is the conscious choice to avoid treatment.

This often presents itself as someone declaring, “I won’t do anything; I’ll let it heal on its own,” if they are fortunate enough.

At its most extreme, it involves an individual nurturing their wound, elevating it, structuring their life around it, and openly sharing their pain and suffering with those around them.

A well-balanced person would certainly avoid this route, as it resembles a form of masochism.

A Shift in Perspective

When we approach suffering and pain from this perspective, it becomes evident that individuals do not choose their emotions, nor are they responsible for them. To suggest that someone experiencing pain is choosing it would require a level of insensitivity that borders on absurdity.

With that being said, suffering: as in refusing treatment, is a choice!

Marriage! What is it good for? Why should you come home and see him or her every single day? Experience the same day over and over, much like in Groundhog Day. Giving detailed reports of my daily activities. What did I say, see and do! It is torment to be living together. Isn’t it so?
