There are some nights, I dream so vividly, that when I wake up, it takes me quite a while to come back down to earth. This morning was one of those moments. I dreamt that I was on a mission to save someone from a lion attack. Or so I thought.
What I remember of the dream, is that I spend quite a while explaining to my youngest daughter why she could not come with me, as it would be too dangerous. But she kept on insisting, that she was tiger girl and that she could help.
Of course I didn't bring her along, tiger girl or not, she is still only five years of age.
Next thing I know I am running through the streets (of where I have no idea), trying to reach the apartment block that my friend is in. How I know all this, I have no idea, I am assuming that I must have received a phone call from them, informing me that a lion or lions had found their way in.
I then meet someone on a bike and I end up running alongside of them, trying to figure our what I should have in order to protect myself and that I also should probably take something that will make a lot of noise, as I imagine I will need to distract the lions.
I just so happen to pass some metal bins, so I grab the lid of one, which makes a perfect sheild. Further along I manage to come across a piece of hard wood, which certainly makes a loud noise when hit against the metal lid. It's amazing how quickly we manifest things in out lives, you think it and there it is, waiting for you.
Next thing, I see the apartment block in sight and already I can hear people panic. My heart is pounding and I somehow manage to run even faster in order to reach the entrance. As I enter, I pass a long line of people streaming out.
"I wouldn't go in there, if I as you" someone yelled as they passed me by.
I reached the stairs and ran up them, until I got to the floor that my friend was on. Each apartment I passed, had there door open and inside their spaces where thrashed. 'What if I was too late', I thought.
Then I saw the door to my friends apartment, I open the door and .......
Well, then I wake up. Having no idea who the friend was and who was I really trying to save. Was it my friend or was I really trying to save the lions, who would possibly be killed, as they were roaming free in an apartment block?
All I know, is that I woke up with a jolt and my heart was still pounding. It was quite the random dream or perhaps not. I am after all trying my best to manifest an animal rescue centre and the urgency I felt in my need to help my friend, feline or not, could indeed represent the huge need for such a project in the area that I live.
Today, I spoke to my friend who ran an animal rescue in the past, but due to ill health she had to let it go. But she still rescues lots of animals and takes them into her home. I really wanted some advice, about what to do about the farmer who lives close by with over 10 dogs, whom he clearly can not take care of. The females keep having puppies and many don't make it.
My friend explained to me, that she had already spoken with this man in the past and that he will not change his ways. That this is just how it is around here, especially with the older generation. So I am not sure what I can do, but I now things can not stay the way that they are and that something has to happen fast, hence the urgency I feel.
