When I first read this post I thought this might be a representation of you in the future.

So your younger self is now giving your older self some support. I guess you lifted your own load.

I had this dream when I was forty and I went back and visited myself when I was 20. The thing is I remember when I was 20 knowing my life was going to be tough but also knowing somehow my life was going to turn around at 40. I had a deep sense and I guess my future self visited my past self. Or my current self met my future self.

The thing I remember was feeling my essence at that age. I was cold and clean and beautiful. I never percieved myself that way at the time because I was working through karma.

Since then I have listened to my dreams as go through time, sometimes past, past lives, future and future lives. Each decision and connection I make seems to fold the time loop and one captures ones essence for a moment.

Best of luck to your future self.
