Dreams

"When I was about 10 years old, I had a dream that I lived in this beautiful cottage, this incredibly beautiful cottage. It had a fireplace, it had some half timbering, and it was set in a beautiful forest. One day, this knock came on the door. It was this boom, boom, boom. I was trembling in the dream, and I went to open the door, and there was a spirit being there, and the spirit invited me to join it on this sort of magic carpet, this invisible magic carpet, and I knew that I had to go. I got behind it and put my arms around him, and we took off. We looked down, and the house became smaller and smaller. Then the landscape began to change, and I realized that I was over devastation, probably World War II Germany, and I began to cry. The spirit being said to me, you will have a choice in your life, to stay in your beautiful cottage or to go out into the world and make a difference. When I turned 26, that was one of the moments where I had that recollection of saying, I'm focusing too much on me."
