Dream Directions to Wake Up
Have you ever had a dream in which you are told to wake up and do something? This has happened to me twice when I’ve been told to wake up because there is a beautiful sunrise I need to photograph.
The first dream of this sort occurred a number of years ago. Mark Victor Hansen, co-author of the widely popular Chichen Soup for the Soul series of books appeared in my dream and told me to wake up because there was a magnificent sunrise occurring right at that time and I should photograph it. He even showed me the best place to go to capture the best view of the sunrise.
When I woke up, it truly was a gorgeous sunrise.
The other dream occurred last year. I came upon it while sorting through photos today for using in the Divine in Nature: With Quotes from Edgar Cayce 2009 calendar. A person did not appear in the dream. However, I heard a voice within me tell me while dreaming to wake up and look out the window because there was a magnificent sunrise.
I woke up immediately, looked out my window, and sure enough, there was a fantastic sunrise. Because I’m a professional photographer, a dream like this is really important to me. It amazes me that the dream is literal–not symbolic at all. It says, “Wake up now. You don’t want to miss this.”
Here is one of the many photographs that resulted from that dream:

The question I ask myself: How could I have possibly known that there was a wonderful sunrise outside while I lay sound asleep inside the house with the blinds drawn?
Have you ever had a dream similar to this? One that woke you up with instructions to do something?
