Fly!

I dream. I become something that I'm not- a greater, more perfect like Christ version of myself. I can become someone who thinks faster and clearer, creating settling conclusions for any worldly problem, or creating more complicated equations for solving the puzzles of life- like a game of chess. I can become an animal of any sort and have both the attributes of human intellect and inhuman strength and speed, seeing life from a perspective that I could never possibly have in reality. I can become someone who dances for the preservation of beauty, but throughout the occasions of certain events rather than for a performance: I make dance-like movements in harmony with people around me, sometimes bonding, sometimes in hostility- sometimes dancing, sometimes playing music, sometimes making dialogue. I become stronger, quicker in reacting to anything, and I can even sometimes fly. 

But usually I'm running away from something when I fly. Something begins to chase me down and my dream moves into an atmosphere of survival of the fittest. I always find myself enjoying the flight, whether it involves actual flying through the air or not. In almost every situation of chasing dreams, I have some kind of inhuman attribute that enables me to prevent my chaser from reaching me.

Really, in reality- I know I'm being chased. We're all being chased, but not very many of us know how or when we're being chased. What are we being chased by? There's only one possibility: Satan, the disrupter of perfection, the great Adversary, the source of all opposition. 

Satan is very important, because without opposition there would be no way to develop ourselves to grow as children of God. Trial is necessary- the chase is necessary. God, our Heavenly Father, gives us inhuman, supernatural tools to stay free from the devouring mouth of the Adversary. It's our choice to use these tools or to not use these tools. Or to simply fly and go with at least the openness to hearing the whisperings of the Spirit. Sometimes there's no time to study and apply the tools that we're given in instances of oppositional challenge. 

I don't know if my dreams can mean anything to anyone other than myself, but I do know that there is great wisdom and knowledge that I gain from my dreams. This is wisdom that more people could make good use of in this world at this time, whether or not they want to accept the idea that Satan is real. The reality of adversity is as real as the earth we walk on. The best advise I can ever give to anyone is this: hold fast to the Spirit and never stop flying.
