Hello there! I am writing to share a dream message with you. It was a wild and crazy dream, and it is a message for me AND for you. Do you remember the dream message from my banana-themed cheesy post, Let Go of Expectations and Judgements – Shift My Sh#t? Well, this is NOTHING like that post. Hahaha! This message is deep. Like real deep. Just forewarning you.
If you are feeling unsettled, unhappy, triggered or just “off” and want to feel like your self and like your life has meaning and purpose again, then this post is for you. I will share The Dream Message Cliff Notes, The Visual Dream Art, and The Dream Interpretations & Messages in this post. The next post, titled 4 Ways For Shapeshifting Your Mind To Heal , will explain some ways to practice shapeshifting!
If this message below resonates with you, marinate in it for a bit. Read it again because the dream message has a lot of wisdom in it. When you are ready and empowered to shift, get to work! You are so worth it đ
Thank you for being here!
Big Hugs To YOU!
Tara
The Dream Message âCliff Notesâ Style
I am a shapeshifter with my mind and my healing.
YOU are a shapeshifter with YOUR mind and YOUR healing.
Be the eagle to see a higher perspective with life’s experiences and perspectives.
Incorporate INTENTIONS, AWARENESS, WILL, and CHOICE, for shifting, healing, soaring, and FLYING HIGH in your life.
We are ALL called to do this shapeshifting work to heal and grow.
The Visual Dream Art
The Lucid Eagle Dream:
Horse-Driven to Heal Self
The Shift is Happening
Shifted & Transformed
The âShiftâ War Dream
Mind Shifting
Dream Interpretations and Messages:
Because of my two separate dreams, the interpretation will be separated and then I will bring it all together wrapped up in a nice healing gift!
The Lucid Eagle Dream Message
What does this wild dream mean? I can tell you what it does not mean, for me at least. I am NOT turning into an eagle. I can tell you that right now, not happening. While that would be totally awesome and total Sam from True Blood, this is not what we are called to literally do đ
The Message:
WE ALL CALLED TO BE SHAPESHIFTERS with our thoughts, stories, and beliefs.
Shapeshifting our mind is a FREEING act and the CHOICE to LET GO of our pains, stories,limiting beliefs, fears, anxiety, expectations, judgements, anger, resentment, shame, blame, perfection, insecurities that steals the joy from our life. It is and has always been our FREE WILL and CHOICE to heal our wounds from our past and our CHOICE to love and live our best and most authentic life. (read this again to absorb it)
This is NOT easy. We are human, we have emotions, feelings, opinions, beliefs, and ego. BUT we are called to shapeshift, right now.
The âShiftâ War Dream Message:
There is a war that is going on right now. And the battleground is in our own minds. Here are the âdeetsâ of my dream and the interpretation and message.
Who is at war?
Ego and Higher Self.
What are they fighting over?
The control rights over letting go of past pains and healing past battle wounds.
Who Chooses the Victor?
We do. Individually.
Message:
We have TOTAL POWER with who wins the battle in our mind. It all comes down to our CHOICE. Do we want to stay with the ego and not heal our wounds and continue on with our âless thanâ story and suffer? Or do we side with our Higher Self and do the work to feel whole again? We have free will and the choice is ours.
Combined Dream Message:
Message:
We have the power to create (co-create) the reality we want in our life. Check in with our mind (mindset). Connect to the Ego and the Higher Self. Listen to both sides. Ego is loud, Higher Self is soft and subtle. See the wounds, stories, pains, beliefs from a higher perspective like the eagle and CHOOSE what YOU want in life. When we do this practice, we have the opportunity to create (co-create) our reality. Shapeshifting our mind and hearts!
Creating our reality is a FROG Effort. Bringing in oneâs beliefs in a higher power is key. Total team effort!
Hi there! I had a great dream message and a powerful experience yesterday. As you know, I am big on healing these days. And I do this work through sleep and dream intentions, shapeshifting my mind, journaling, writing poetry, and doodling/intuitive art therapy. I write about some of these tools that I find useful in past posts titled 6 Steps For Healing While Sleeping and 4 Steps For Shapeshifting Mind To Heal.
I am very excited to share this dream message and experience with you! Perhaps it will resonate with you too?!?
The Dream Message:
Let Go of Expectations and Judgements. Expectations and judgements will steel the joy from your day and dim your beautiful light. This is a choice. Be aware. Shift. Let this go. Practice this.
I really appreciated this dream message but I didnât understand why I received it.
Until…. I went on Facebook!!! (lol Shocker)
Here is how it all went down and came together.
Real Life Example
I was drinking my coffee, doing my normal morning thing, scrolling on fb.
And then it happened…….
My âfriendâ posted something that annoyed the crap out of me.
For a good half hour, I was so annoyed and I was really spewing out judgement towards this friend (in my head of course, not fb ). I felt so yucky and my day only started a half hour ago.
Then, I remembered my dream message!
âExpectations and judgments will steel my joy and light.â
By golly, the expectations I unknowingly set for this friend and then the judgements I brought in was in fact steeling the beauty out of my morning!
And quite frankly, who amI to judge! We are ALL welcome to have our own beliefs. These expectations, judgements and this ego needs to go!
It was like a lightbulb moment for me and I was filled with so much gratitude for the dream, for the message, for the fb experience, AND for my awareness.
It didnât end there though. I knew I needed to shift my dark sh#t fast if I wanted to experience a Brady Bunch style âsunshine dayâ. So I visualized.
Do you want a peek into my head to see what I visualized to release the expectations and judgements?
Ok! Now remember, the collective message here is to have no expectations and to hold no judgements, so donât be judging me. Haha.
I visualized a banana.
This banana is my favorite fruit in the whole wide world!
Eating a banana always feeds my body with its healing goodness.
I shine when I eat âthe banana.”
This banana is my lightsaber.
I wanted to eat it but the thick peel was getting in the way.
(Story paused – if you are a guy going someplace else with my visualization, get your head out of the gutter. . This is my innocent healing visualization buddy.)
Story continued – So, one by one, I peeled off the banana peel.
Each piece I peeled off represented the expectations and judgements I had towards my friend.
I was letting go of all of it today. I let go of my ego, too.
And then I said in my head,
âBye, Felicia. Time to bring in some light and joy!â
Bam! âShiftâ happened!
I let go of the expectations and judgements, and I took my power back.
I ate the banana – My little lightsaber!
I CHOSE to have a joyful, peaceful, loving, and balanced day.
I CHOSE to shine bright, love and light into our world: Simply by imagining a banana
And that is how my dream message and my real life experience went down that day! I bet when you eat a banana now, you will think differently of it! Haha.
Shifting isnât always easy for me. Practicing this awareness is work, too. But…. from my personal experience, I am always happier in the long run when I practice. I am worthy of being happy! And my happiness starts within. Happiness to me is feeling in my heart love, gratitude, compassion, empathy, understanding, and unity. It is not easy right now. It is so important for me to be aware and practice.
I am choosing to peel off the dark layers of the banana that is getting in the way, to experience my âsunshine day.â I am the Rose in bloom. I am a care bear. I am a light saber. I am light.
I hope my dream message and personal experience that I shared can be of service to others. And most importantly, please share ways how you shift YOUR sh#t. I love incorporating new and different visualizations in my healing work. My banana one is getting over ripe! hahaha
Thank you so much for being here! Big Hugs to YOU!
Tara
If you would like to learn more about healing and shifting, check out these two blog posts and continue to keep learning, healing and growing!!! You are worth it!
I am a BIG supporter of utilizing sleep and dreams for deep healing and growth. As I mentioned in a prior blog post titled, The Healing Power Of Dreams, I have built my dream muscle over the years to work for my highest good.
Focusing on my dreams and my intentional sleep practice has been life-changing for my healing. For most of my life, I just went to sleep. I put on my jammies, got all snuggly in my bed, turned off the light, and slept. I never fully realized that my 8 hours of sleeping can be an opportunity for healing, wisdom, messages, and assistance. Until now.
I am sharing my sleep and dream healing practice with the intent to educate or perhaps inspire others to try it out. As always, do what feels right to you.
Step 1 – Gratitude
Before bed, reflect on your day. Tap into your heart and truly review and feel into what you were grateful for that day. Either say it in your head, write it in your notes on your phone, or write it in a journal. There are no right or wrongs here. Our thoughts are more powerful than we realize.
I will share with you my gratitude journal on 11-3-20.
Today I am grateful for my family. My whole entire family (extended). I am grateful they are well, healthy, and safe. I love them so much.
Today I am grateful for the message I received from my spiritual team and I am grateful for the nudge to share the message with others who are open to receiving it.
I am grateful for the push and messages to get my blog out. Get out of my head and just do it!
I am grateful for feeling uncomfortable because I know this is a sign that I am growing.
I am grateful for Ken’s love and support.
I am grateful for the laughter I hear from Sean’s room right now.
I am grateful for the mentors and teachers I have in my life.
I am grateful for the meditations I did today.
I am grateful for my friends.
I am grateful for my health. I was able to walk and exercise and that makes me so happy.
I am grateful for the time I had today to do all these things.
Thank you for this day. I am so grateful for experiencing life today.
Deep gratitude, right? I am a total deep person, haha. My entries are not always like this, however. Some days I am just grateful for my breath and that is enough. Reflecting and giving thanks for all the gifts you experienced each day is a life-changing tool to practice. For me, it is an instant shift in mindset and my energy.
I believe this practice also sets the stage for the next step.
Step 2 – Set Intentions for Sleep
What do you wish to receive that is for your highest good while you sleep? Healing, guidance, messages, assistance, etc? I ask my spiritual team for this request. I can be very specific with my intentions or I can simply ask to receive whatever is for my highest good.
My personal belief is that my spiritual team (my spirit, my angels of light, my loved ones, my ancestors, my guides, my Source) are waiting to be of service to me. I just need to ask them and truly be ready and open to receive. Whatever your personal belief is, go with that. Go with whatever feels right in your heart and whatever you feel comfortable with. When I first started doing this work, my team was God. As I have grown spiritually, I have a whole posse!
Here is an example of my sleep intentions:
While I sleep, I humbly ask my spiritual team for continued emotional healing to occur.
I humbly ask to receive wisdom and guidance in areas of healing that I am ready to work on in my waking moments.
I am ready to heal. I am ready to do the work. I am ready to grow.
Thank you for this healing, messages, and awareness, that is for my highest good, while I sleep.
Again, it is pretty deep. Some nights, I am just too tired and I simply ask to receive love while I sleep. That is enough and totally ok. The point here is to simply set your intention. Wishes are powerful!
Step 3 – Rise and Shine with Gratitude
Waking up with gratitude is very important. (Do you see a pattern with the gratitude thing?) Thank your Source, the Universe, God, angels of light (whatever your beliefs are) as soon as you wake up. Thank them for another day, thank them for being alive, thank them for the dreams you remembered, whatever feels right. Simply start your day with a healthy dose of thanks.
Step 4 – Sit and Write
Did you have any dreams? As soon as you wake up and give your thanks, write out your dreams. Do the best you can. Most likely, your dreams will be super weird, and head-scratching. That is ok. Just write whatever you can remember, even if it is just one word, a feeling, or a song that was playing. And if you cannot remember anything, that is ok, too! Trust that if you are not remembering your dreams, then it was for a reason. There is nothing wrong with you or what you did. Having certain expectations with this practice will absolutely create distress. So, let go of expectations. Simply believe in your heart that you received healing.
Here is my messy, unedited recent dream that I journaled in my phone under notes:
Christmas jammies
Doug asked me what does the pocket say on my jammies?
I didnât try them on yet and had no idea what it said.
Saw Kenâs cousin. I thought her name was Stacie. It wasnât. We were in the car. She asked for my number so I went in the glove compartment and got paper out. It was paper deep in the bottom. And my mom wrote on the back of the paper. I thought her number was one thing but she had a different number. I thought maybe Bc she lived up north.
I was with Ken at a house. Split level house. My mom was there. We were outside in the driveway on a date. Maybe in the car. And I ate tuna fish. After I ate it, I was shocked because it was meat.
In the driveway still. Something with the car and taking it to get it fixed or cleaned? Another family was there too. I was shocked they were home so soon after they took it to get cleaned and fixed.
I went to get a mammogram. A guy did it. Kelly D was there
Song playing in head nonstop – Madonnaâs Ray of Light song
Step 5 – Interpret the Dream or Let it Sit
This is a personal choice in my opinion, and I encourage people to do what feels right to them.
If I remember my dreams, I do attempt to interpret my dreams that day because most times, there is usually a message in there for me. HOWEVER, this is not always the case. When I have no clue what the heck the dream means to me, I let it sit, with the intention to review it later. I have learned that my dreams will give me the messages I need at that moment. Not what I want. With this understanding, I have faith more messages are to come. So, the reminder to myself is TO BE PATIENT!
Letâs talk about the interpretation. Dream interpretation is an intuitive muscle and EVERYONE can grow this muscle with intention and practice. It is important to breathe, relax, and quiet the mind. Do your best to not âthinkâ too much about the outcome of your interpretation, the fine details in the dream and/or not having a clue what the heck it means. Trust whatever pops in your head and just write it. When we trust that soft, subtle, quick, whisper in our head, THAT is our intuition. Just go with it.
In the past, I have googled the meaning of my dreams. Researching on the internet has helped me AND it has hurt me. I can easily go down that Google rabbit hole. When this happens, I have moved out of my heart-space and into my head-space and I am being unproductive. Dream interpretation is most definitely a practice that takes awareness and balance. In future posts, I will share ways that helped me build this intuitive muscle.
This is my interpretation of my dream:
I am having a hard time seeing clearly what the messages are.
I think I have the ânumberâ on what is happening in life right now but I donât. These are assumptions.
I will do things I never did bf.
The key is to continue to keep my “vessel” clean.
This whole thing that is happening in this world is to clean the mess.
Recording and interpreting a dream is NOT to be stressful. When I do this practice and I notice that I am beating myself up or stressed out for not remembering to set my intentions or to write in my dream or gratitude journal, that is my BIG sign to pause and reflect. Perfectionism has no place in my healing practice. BUT, it happens because I am human đ
I must shift to the mindset of âJust do the best I can. I am enough. Progress, not perfection. JUST BREATHE.â is key for me. I learned about these statements in my recovery. While they seem very simply stated, they are powerful and life-changing when I practice this mindset and mindful shift.
Step 6 – Be Present and Live Life!
Now that you did all your sleep/dream-work, go be present and live life. Make the present day count. Set intentions for what you wish for in the day. If your dream had a message for you, keep it in your awareness for that day. Do what you feel called to do with the message. And don’t forget to smile, live, love, and shine!
Thank you for reading and being open to my healing practice! If my personal sleep/dream-work steps have been helpful to you, great! If it doesn’t resonate, that is totally fine, too. We are all different and what resonates with one person may not resonate with another. Follow your heart and do what feels right.
Please share your own practice or experiences in the comments. I am always open to learning more! Questions are always welcome too!
Divine healing messages are all around us in our waking days and our sleepy and dreamy nights! Do you believe this? Do you experience it?
If someone said that statement to me two years ago, I would be skeptical and a little scared. Hahaha. But, the “today Tara” believes it. 100%!!!!
I truly believe this because I now experience it. And it is so incredibly awesome knowing that I am fully loved and supported, unconditionally. When I moved from a constant state of “doing” my life from a head space into a state of “being” fully present and grateful in my life from my heart space, divine messages started appearing! The “shift” was happening! I was shifting my sh#t. I was healing. I was living in color again!!!!!
I want to share a recent divine message that I received during the tense election day that just passed. I posted this on my Facebook Page and I am sharing this to give you examples of how the these healing divine messages can pop in our every day life!
Do you receive divine messages in your waking moments? Please share with me! I would love to read another healing message! Share is fair, right?! đ
Thank you for reading my post! Big Hugs!

Facebook Post 11-3-2020
After I drop off my son Seanie B at school, I park and do my morning meditation “thing” in my car, in front of the statue of Mother Mary. I always park in the same spot every day, but my spot was taken today. I was kinda bummed until I saw ……”The Rose”. This beautiful, magical, magenta rose, who was overshadowed by these two big overpowering bushes, had a message for me. And this message is to be shared because I know it will resonate with others. Thank you
The Rose
This âroseâ bud is for youâ, I hear in my heart. Bring in the magenta energy today.
This rose is in full bloom, and so are you. Choose to bloom. You are enough. You are beauty. You are light. You do not need validation from others. Your beauty and light is represented in this single rose in bloom. You are magical, beautiful, pure, vibrant, special, strong, and love-ly. And that is enough. That is all you need.
This IS you: The rose. Feel and sense this magenta rose deep in your heart. Breathe it in. The thorns in the stem were needed. They were to help you grow and bloom. They make you who you are today…. the vibrant flower. Honor your thorns. Love your thorns. But know…. you are not your thorns. Your thorns make you the whole rose……when you choose to bloom and shine.
The two big âbushesâ in front of you make it very hard to bloom and stay vibrant. Otherâs thorns are poking one another. Just continue to do your thing. Be the rose. See and observe what is happening. And just be an example that blooming is possible amidst the big bushes and the thorn war.
When we believe it. See it. Feel it. It happens. It is time to bloom.
I wrote this poem on 11-1-20. Our dreams and art can be healing if we are open and ask to receive the healing and messages. Keep a dream journal, be open to creating, and set intentions to receive healing, guidance, and messages while you sleep! I explain how I do this practice in the post 6 Steps for Healing While Sleeping. Check it out if dreams and healing while sleeping resonates with you!
As you can see, I connect and express my heart and soul through my writing, poetry, and art. Creating for me is a doorway to my higher self. Do you connect to your Self? If you feel inclined to share here, please share away! I would be honored to read and see your expression! I believe we all learn when we share our creativity and gifts.
Thank you for reading my poetry.
Big Hugs!
Tara
The "Whole" Dream
I had a wild dream,
On the night of the full moon.
Was it just a coincidence?
No, it was telling me to prune.
Dreams are quite crazy.
They don't really make sense.
But when I stop to look into,
I have compete awareness.
It is clear as day to me,
What the dream is guiding me to do.
The elements are chiming in.
I have more shedding for the new.
For myself personally,
I need to do more work.
The sun draws light on my shadows.
The wind stirs the pot and jerks.
This jerk is a loving push,
To drop more dead leaves from my tree.
I see very clearly what they are now.
And I can observe it with no feelings.
My dream identified what to drop,
One by one the wind assists.
The fall is the releasing and shedding,
And love transmutation is my wish.
To be very open and honest,
This is what was revealed to me.
As I approach closer to my purpose,
I need to be more trusting.
Not trusting of others.
More trusting of my voice.
The work that I choose to share,
Will likely create some noise.
I was also shown very clearly,
My expectations need to leave.
If I choose to share these messages,
Dont expect all love to be received.
That pattern of outside validation,
Is and WILL hold me back.
See you later codependence,
I am no longer feeling this lack.
I set the intention to release.
I set the intention to repair.
I visualize my Self whole again.
I use my voice and I am ready to share!
). I felt so yucky and my day only started a half hour ago. 
– So, one by one, I peeled off the banana peel. 
And most importantly, please share ways how you shift YOUR sh#t. I love incorporating new and different visualizations in my healing work. My banana one is getting over ripe! hahaha
