Upon awakening this morning, it occurred to me where the concept of being haunted came from – Dreaming.

I don’t believe in being haunted in the everyday definition of the term because I’ve never seen evidence of it; I have only heard stories.

I have had haunting dreams though.

I’m imagining back on primitive civilizations, sitting around the campfire where one person tells a story of being haunted. Others, who also had that strange experience (dream), began to tell their story. Not long after this gathering, the concept of being haunted became a reality and took on a life of its own.

I can’t prove or disprove haunting, but I can validate dreaming.

My sense is that most dreams are nonsense. They seem to be a piecing together of a collection of unconscious, unassociated impressions that we’ve taken in during the course of our day, week, life and they form a mosaic in our mind.

But then there are the dreams that hit closer to home and have some cohesion with something going on in our life. These are the dreams that seem to repeat themselves with slightly different surroundings each time, but the players and the theme are the same.

These are the dreams it makes sense to pay attention to.

My experience is that they highlight an area where we are stuck in life.

You’re not being haunted; you’re getting a glimpse of where you are hemmed in.

It’s not like the dream shows you how to get unstuck, although I’ve had a few of those, but rather it puts a spotlight on where we need work.

I know there are dream books that offer specifics as to what dream content means, but they’re a bit too generic for me – kinda’ like horoscopes. That doesn’t mean that once in a blue, astrological moon that one won’t hit home, but the misses exponentially outweigh the hits.

But the same dream that keeps coming back in a different suit of clothes accents an area of our life that needs attention.

“Unfinished business” is the term that pops into my mind about these dreams.

Are you being haunted by unfinished business or is it just a dream?

Here’s what I know for sure: The dream is coming back as long as the situation remains as it is.

What small step can you take today to put some finishing touches on a haunting situation that needs attention?

All the best,

John
