Asking for help with dreams and other things

Take a big step with me. Put all doubts aside and BELIEVE there are entities concerned about your welfare. Angels abound. There are more than enough to go around. Most of us have Spirit Guides. We might not always listen, but our Guides are there. Thanks for taking this step. Let’s move on, shall we?

Think of these entities in a manner reassuring to you. Your vision will differ from mine. Whereas I might be comforted by a BIG dog, you might feel better with a tall, regal angel wielding a sword. The point is to pick some thing you can visualize.

Give him or her a name. Just like Thomas Magnum said in that long ago episode of Magnum PI, “Things are less scary when they have a name.” Magnum named the shark that was circling and checking him out for dinner. Magnum calmed down and the shark lost interest. (Note to self: When I finally purchase the series on DVD, I’ll update this with the episode name and other such junk…)

For sake of clarity, I’m just going to use masculine pronouns for the rest of this. Have you named him yet? “He” will be big and scary to others, but not to you. You just gave him a nickname. Now he’s your friend. I call my Spirit Guide “Angelo” (because he’s such an angel to watch over me).

Angelo is very helpful about finding things IF I think to ask for help. I won’t bore you with the list of lost items recovered with Divine assistance, but there’s a lot. I’ve learned to listen to the quiet Little Voice that tells me to dump my purse out to find my keys at the bottom, stuck inside the checkbook. I’ve gone back to the laundry room to “this time look BEHIND the washer” because I didn’t find the paint roller frame the first three times.

When I say my prayers, I ask for protection as well as help. I’m quite sure it was Angelo that almost screamed in my ear “DO NOT open that door! Look out the window. See? He’s NOT a pizza guy.” (I promise to publish that story another time.)

So, why have I led you on this tangent?

Is it any less important to ask for help with your dreams than it is for finding lost car keys?

As part of your going to bed routine, start asking for help with your dreams. We all talk to ourselves. (Admit it, you do it sometimes.) Instead of talking to the ceiling, remember to visualize your protective helper-friend. “Hey, Angelo,” one might say, “help me to remember my dreams in the morning. I’ve just set the alarm for 6:15. Oh, help me to wake up, too, while you’re at it!”

Don’t be discouraged if it takes more than one morning to get it right. You are now attempting to build a good habit: dream journaling. Your paper and writing instrument are within easy reach. Now all you need to do is REMEMBER.

Your Angelo will help you with that, if you but think to ask.
