Thread: Intruder in house

This is the last dream I remember from this week. It began with my dad bad-mouthing a guy on the telephone; I assume this person was a telemarketer, and it was fairly late at night, so my dad had reason to be pissed. Anyway, Dad hung up and went to bed. Then the phone rang again and I answered. It was the same telemarketer. It was weird -- the phone had a screen on the back that looked like your standard IM window, and he was typing rather than speaking his message. He said that because of the way his previous call had been received, he was going to kidnap (I believe) a woman and a child, though this part is very fuzzy. He said that he was going to get revenge, then he hung up. I started panicking, and I looked toward the front door with absolute dread. I remember thinking that I needed to get my dad to understand that this guy was on his way to our house, but I don't remember if I got the chance.

Next thing I know, the guy is there, and I'm trying to get away from him. He knocks me down, and we fall through the floor into this strange hay-filled pit in the ground. He tries to grab my thigh, laughing, but I scream and pull my legs back toward me. He does this a few more times, but each time I scream and pull back. Last time I do this, he gives up, and says, \"okay, okay.\" Then my dad is visible through the hole in the floor above us, and he has a tree branch; he reachs through and knocks the guy out. I try to call out to my dad, to let him know I'm there and will need help getting up, but I can't -- I can't use my voice. I can't move, not even blink an eye. Then the dream ends.

This was just weird...the guy creeped me out, to say the least.

This is a very instructive Dream. Often Dreams are our Higher Mind's avenue for sending us the Lessons of Life, and this was one of them. Now, it is popularly thought, that it is quite alright and even healthy for people to vent their honest feelings, particularly where matters of common justice are concerned. Here, the universal contempt for Telemarketers is taken as a representative example, where a most justifiable wrath is expressed against them. But what we see as the result is certainly not healthy. The anger of the Father rebounds upon the children, and the anger that is sent out is returned.

So, no, it is never healthy to indulge in the strong and destructive emotion of Anger. One may feel righteously offended, unjustly frustrated or even injured, and one may insist upon having Justice done; but all of that must be done with as clear a mind and heart as possible. One can refrain from the profanities and the shouting voice. If one can keep control of oneself... keeping the 'lid on', then one will protect one's sleep and appetite. But once let Anger out, and it will take some three days to fully recover one's ease of sleep and digestion.

So with telemarketers, one must simply say "thank you, but could you please put me on the list of people whom you never ever call, and I do wish you luck in finding a good job. Do have a good evening". And then hang up satisfied that you still retain your peace of mind, and that you did not frighten your precious children with the hateful vibrations of your anger.
