I took a brief nap this morning and experienced two very short visions. In the first, I found myself jumping off the deck of a large sailboat into the crystal-clear waters of Lake Wallenpaupack.
Surprisingly, despite the clarity of the water, it was not as cold as one would expect. Typically, this lake is quite murky when the water is warm.
The time appeared to be around 1:00 PM. There were actually two different sailboats anchored close to each other, both white and approximately 30 feet in length, with anodized aluminum silver spars and white decks accented with the usual teak trim. I couldn’t determine the make of the boats.
In the second vision, I was in a gym, confronting several individuals dressed in black robes who were moving toward me. They resembled monks.
The sky outside was overcast, evident through the large rectangular windows lining the gym. The ceiling was about 15 feet high, and the floors were an off-white waxed tile or linoleum type material.
Despite the challenging situation, I felt empowered and confident. Although they outnumbered me, I was able to defend myself effectively, particularly after I began using the barbells as a means of protection. That marked the end of this vision.
Interpretation: Sailboats often symbolize favorable financial matters. In this vision, I was swimming in clear, comfortably tempered water, a notable contrast to Lake Wallenpaupack’s usual conditions.
Although the day was bright and sunny, the boats length in inches plus the military time of day could signal an upcoming change in the weather, perhaps indicating not only rain but a violent storm approaching, as is often the case. Thirty feet is equivalent to 360 inches; with 1:00 PM being 1300 Hours, 9 and 13 being of importance here.
The 9 and 13 tell me that we may experience rain within the next 72 to 96 hours, possibly sooner. The weather forecast suggests it could start as early as tomorrow morning, but based on the vision, it may turn out to be more severe than predicted.
That’s my take on that aspect of the dream, anyway. The chance of the weather markers playing out in real time is moderate at best.
Regarding the second vision, when I began my nap at about 10:30 AM and slept until noon, I held an intention: upon awakening, I would have dreams of overcoming those who oppress me.
The first vision seemed to signify positive financial news and a weather forecast, while the second vision was the one I was gunning for.
From a spiritual standpoint, many traditions are not inclusive of people with disabilities, which can be disheartening. The individuals in robes may have represented religious figures or institutions.
In the dream, I managed to overcome them, suggesting that positive changes may be on the horizon. Perhaps someone from a religious community may invite me to join their congregation, or I might connect with a group of friends who are deeply spiritual.
It’s also possible that someone’s perspective regarding people with visual impairments will shift, leading to greater understanding and acceptance. Ultimately, only time will tell.
