Whose Dream is it Anyway?

Each of us has been born into a dream. From the point of view of the Toltecs, we are dreaming all the time.
During the day our dream is framed by the language we speak and conditioned responses. At night there is no frame, we dream in metaphor, symbols and intuition.
We move about in our daily lives within the virtual reality of our dream, created by the sum of our focus and attention. Wherever we put our attention will stop the rest of the world from showing up.
The mind can only hold one thought at a time. As we consistently place our attention on what feels good, and makes us happy we are on the *happiness road* – attracting more of the same into our virtual reality. No matter what occurs in the world news or the incidental events in our lives, we can always find something to be grateful for, such as the bed we sleep in.
When we focus on worry, we find there is much to worry about. In a meeting with a 100yr old woman, who had lived an ordinary life, I asked what was the most important information she had to share. She replied “Everything I worried about never happened, and the things that happened, that took me off guard, I never could have imagined. I used up much of my life worrying for nothing.”
Watch your thoughts and whenever you hear yourself saying “the reality is…” -STOP-
Recognize that you have brought that reality into your virtual reality through your focus, giving you the exact same power to reject it.
Whose dream is it anyway? Yours. When you create your dream through deliberate awareness and intention, no matter what, you will experience living profound freedom and joy as you weave your own virtual reality.
