i discussed my scorpion dream with a friend the other day, and mentioned that there were so many of them and i didn't usually dream of them. i was wondering what they were there to tell me, so that i might learn and heal some aspect of myself related to their lesson.

she said that not everything is there to help us, necessarily, and that there are times when 'talking' to a being in dream space is not the appropriate thing to do, that sometimes one needs to defend one's space and tell the being to GO.

am i naive, thinking that every single thing that happens is there to guide me back to wholeness and healing, no matter what it is? cause that belief has held by me pretty strong and true all of my life, and i am a much better person in the long run for it. it feels like having a defensive attitude towards anything is just resistance, and we all know: what you resist persists. i have learned that one the hard way again and again.

what do you think?
