I am a soldier in a war, and find myself on the outskirts of the war zone. I realize I have an opportunity to slip away, but instead decide to go into the war zone. It is, after all, my role. It seems guaranteed I will die, but – through what seems a miracle – I don’t.
At the end of the war dream, I am still around but am not sure if I am dead or alive in a conventional sense. All I know is that I am still around.
This dream reflects a shift in me, a sense of a deep and quiet embrace of whatever role life comes up with for me. A new possibility opens up. When roles come and go, there is the possibilty of a deep quiet embrace instead of struggling against it. On the surface it may seem terrible, but there is a beauty in this embrace.
Day residue: A Facebook friend of mine posting this as her status update:
Don’t worry about this world; it is not broken. And don’t worry about others. You worry more about them than they do. There are people waging war; there are people on the battlefield who are more alive than they’ve ever been before. Don’t try to protect people from life; just let them have their experience while you focus upon your own experience.
— Abraham
Wonderful sync. I was just listening to this video about an hour ago with Abraham answering the questioner (whom just happens to be Wayne Dyer) and Dr. Dyer is saying how much he was struggling with anger around the Iraq War (the recording is from 2003). Well, I won’t spoil the rest…

Thank you! I will take a look.
Some synchronicities on this end as well: Wayne Dyer has come up in conversations lately, you mentioned him here, his voice is in the Day and Night short animation I posted – which I didn’t realize until afterwards, and in the first clip with him I watched on YouTube he used the orange juice analogy which I just heard from someone else. Guess it is time to get more familiar with him.
