A Dream About Trusting Myself
Ever since I was young, my dreams have been vivid, detailed, and powerful enough to leave a lasting impression long after I wake. Some fade quickly, but others stay etched in my memory — and in July 2024, I had one I know I’ll never forget.
It wasn’t like the other dreams I’ve had. In waking life, my intuition is a quiet nudge — a small inner voice guiding me toward what’s right for me. But in my dreams, I can usually hear my own thoughts, not my intuition. This night was different. For the first time, my intuition spoke clearly in my dream, and I obeyed without hesitation.
Scene One: The Lion
It was a rainy night. I found myself walking through a park when my intuition told me to step inside an empty zoo cage. I didn’t question it — I just went in.
At first, it was completely empty. Then, out of nowhere, a lion appeared behind me. My heart sank. I knew I was about to die. In waking life, I would have run, fought, or done anything to survive. But in the dream, I felt no panic — only acceptance.
“This is it,” I thought as the lion leapt toward me. I closed my eyes, prayed to God… and felt nothing. In an instant, the scene shifted.
Scene Two: The Poison
I was now inside a run-down dorm building, something that looked like it belonged at Texas Tech. A group of students were studying in the main hall. One of them invited me to join, but first, we went to the dining area.
A man there was acting strangely, offering drinks to everyone. Without thinking much of it — after all, I was “in college” — I accepted one.
Later, in my dorm room (which looked exactly like my real bedroom), the rain was still falling outside, just like in reality. I started to feel strange. When I looked in my bathroom mirror, terror flooded me — my face was melting. The skin around my eye had sunken in, my cheeks sagged, my lips drooped.
Panicked, I ran to the dining hall and found the other students from before. They, too, were melting, crying, and in pain. I shouted at the man who had given us the drinks, “What did you give us?!” He only laughed and said, “No one forced you to take it.”
The truth hit me: it was poison. We were dying. And the man had poisoned himself too, just to drag us with him.
Scene Three: The Jump
Somehow, we all ended up on the roof of the building, watching others leap to their deaths. We knew the end was near. My friend — the one who had invited me to study — stood beside me and said, “Let’s jump together.”
For a moment, I hesitated. Then my intuition whispered: Trust. Let yourself fall.
So I did. As I plummeted toward the ground, I thought of God, knowing He had me no matter what. Just before impact, the scene shifted again.
Scene Four: The Voice
I was back in my real bedroom. The rain tapped against my window, exactly as it was in waking life.
Then I heard it — a voice from deep within me:
“Trust in yourself, because in turn you’re trusting in Me.”
It was crystal clear.
A powerful ringing filled my ears, the strongest I’ve ever experienced. It was so intense it made me dizzy, forcing me to lie back down. When it finally faded, I could move again. The words echoed in my mind:
“Believe in yourself, because in turn you’re believing in Me.”
Scene Five: The Parasite
That’s when I sensed it — a dark, energetic parasite clinging to me. I couldn’t see it clearly, but I could feel its presence. I grabbed it with my hands, walked into the hallway, and threw it away from me.
“I’m not scared,” I told it. “I am divinely guided and protected. You have no power or control over me.”
And with that, it was gone.
The Lesson
Our dreams are not meaningless. They hold lessons, symbols, and wisdom — but only if we’re open to believing in them.
This dream reminded me of my own strength and the need to stop doubting myself. Even when my heart’s desires don’t make sense right away — or to anyone else — that doesn’t mean I’m wrong or “crazy.” God often shows us the way in ways that defy logic. If we listen, we are shown new aspects of ourselves and the vast capacity we have to live, trust, and simply be.
