The narrator (who I never saw in the dream) started out by saying I have a story for you.......
She said you have always used the analogy about the importance of taking care ofyour body by asking yourself and others "What if at birth you were given a car....and told that this was the only car you will ever receive so take care of it. What if we lived in that reality....how would we maintain our cars". From there the story started ...it was much like the Disney show Cars.(lol ...I know kinda corny)
In this story we were all born into a car. We had no choice as to what car we had or the condition of the car. We were here for the experience of driving aka living. As cars we all drove around to work ...home (which of course was a garage) ...school.
We lived just like we do now...only we were in cars instead of bodies. Some cars never stepped out onto roads that were long or twisty...and some cars loved nothing more than to just get out on the open road and let the car run. We all had friends and family and those that we loved. We lived ...loved and tried our best to understand life and live it in a way we thought we should.
Now you couldn't see the person in the car....but they were there...and they(much like we do) judged themselves by the appearance of the car...by how fast the car could drive....or how much money the car could bring in. They learned to think that they were the car....and nothing more.
One day a beloved car broke down....and the mechanics could not find the parts to fix the car and the car died. When that happened the cars that loved her were heart broken. However, at the moment the car died...something happened....the door opened and a girl walked out. She stretched her arms and legs and began to walk...something that was brand new. She was deliciously overwhelmed by all the new wonderful sensations....she was so happy. She had not realized until that moment just how confined she had been in that car. She noticed at that moment how limited she had been and just how wonderful it felt to be her and not defined by the car she was driving. She realized at that moment how much time we all waste defining ourselves by the vehicles we were in. She realized how caught up we had all become in something that was a learning experience...something we all had wanted to do.
Overcome with joy she took off running and could feel the grass under her feet....she could see her friends that she had thought she lost in the distance, running to greet her. They shared hugs and laughter......they were there to greet her and help her on this new adventure.
She turned around to share all this joy with her friends and loved ones who were still in cars....but they were crying. She ran over to each of them and tried to make them see that she was still here...but she was free and happy and better than she had ever been. She never died.....she never would....she was simply progressing on her journey.
She did things that she knew only those who knew her would understand ....a way of letting them know that she was still there....she listened to the stories...and laughed when they finally stopped crying and honored her by laughing and taking care of each other.
Then the narrator said....you have been taught and now you must let go and stop defining yourself by the body you are in. You are so much more than that. While you are here love....learn ...grow ...be in service.... help.....and know that I and lots of those who love you are always here...always ready to help and give guidance...you just have to listen. The small voice...the feelings....the wind blowing...little things. You can't be so caught up in life or you will miss them. Slow down and enjoy this and know one day it will be your turn to open the door and walk out. I will be waiting when you do....with love, laughter and open arms.
I think that Mama Dragon helped to send that dream to me. I think that anyone who knows her has been taught. We all know or are learning that we are here for the experience of living.....we are here to learn. It is not a forever thing and we should try and remember not to get so caught up in the trivial moments in this life. Instead we should focus on things that impact each other on a heart/soul level. Things that bring love and joy. Anyone who loved Trudy was influenced on a heart/soul level. She taught us well....to love ....to laugh....and to just make relax and make it up if we get stuck or lost. Now we must honor her and continue her story.
I am looking forward to the upcoming year.,,,,,I am finally feeling a sense of peace. I am releasing all the bonds and things that have held me back. I am going to live in love....going to let go of fear...going to laugh....going to find joy.....I am going to live......
I love you Mama Dragon....I know you are still with us....I will remember you as you were here...and honor your lessons.....and I will be listening and waiting for your guidance....
