I had this dream many many years ago. I want to share it because I now have more persective on this dream. Long post - grab a cuppa :)
This was one of those dreams the trancends dream time to real time. Where in everything in the dream is so REAL that it very well may have happened.
In my dream I awoke from sleep. There was a very large dog in the room with me and he was asking me to get up and answer the door. I tried to ask him what was going on but I knew he would not answer as he was only a messenger.
AS I walked into the living room there were many more large dogs lined up in two rows that I would have to walk between to get to the door. They were sentinels and in some way I felt honored. I felt no fear.
I asked "who is there" but got no reply. But I knew I had to answer the door. It was important to do so.
Standing at the door was a very tall man who appeared to be a silouette. That is he was all black. I knew I was not seeing a shadow. He was just blacker than black and deep to the fathoms. I dont know how else to say this because there is no comparison in real life. He was just form and substance so deep as to be fathomless. Behind himm it was light and bright although it was really night.
Around his shoulders were two cherubs. They seemed to be fighting but with comraderie if that makes sense.
One cherub was blue and one was red. I knew they represented good / bad but not good/bad rather they represented two choices. He told me he was the Archangel Gabriel.
He told me that I had to make a decision. I could take the short route and have everything I have ever wanted and "die young" or I could take the long route and not have what I wanted and live to an old age.
I do not know how I chose. But as soon as I had chosen it I felt as though I had not chosen wisely.
I tried to ask the man questions but he seemed to be of the opinion that I already knew everything I needed to know to make my choice.
As soon as I had made my choice the door closed and though I opened it again he was gone though the sky remained bright.
I turned back to the room and the sentimals were gone but my dog "guide" was still there. He walked me back to my room and told me all would be well and that there were no wrong choices. Still I got the feeling he thought I had burdened myself.
When I awoke in the morning I did not feel as though I had had a dream. I felt as though I had had an experience that was as real as typing this dream out. Real as real.
but now 20 years later I see less dire in the message.
At the time my perspective was based on physical and material needs. I thought the dream was about having passed up fame and fortune for a more mundane life.
But now I see that it was about choosing enlightenment.
That I could choose enlightenment or not.
I now understand "die young" to be trancending my current karma to be 're-born' in this life. LOL
I still dont know how I chose!
But interesting isnt it?
