Session

Lesson

Michael: “Today you have an opportunity to rise above your emotions. You do not feel your normal happy self, for you did have some unpleasant dreams and right before it was time for you to awaken and begin your day. These were very unsettling dreams.

“Now I will remind you, dear sister, that you have given the celestial guardians permission to use your sleep time for lessons, and you know, that as on many previous occasions, your request is most certainly being complied with.

“You will also bring to mind your daily prayers for you to learn to control your emotions. Now is an opportunity to immediately change this unrealistic feeling of unhappiness to joy. You are now experiencing simple emotions colored by un-reality.

“Dreams are not real. Your dreams are very often influenced by the happenings of the times during the moments when you are awakening. World news, television programs, and varied external circumstances beyond your control, influence your dream patterns. However, these dreams are also not real, and the fact that these matters are ‘beyond your control,’ are very much a part of why dreams are often disturbing.

“You enjoy a great measure of freedom in the day hours, but your dreams are not under your control. You cannot plan them or bring them into alignment through your will.

“Allow me to put your mind at rest. Your celestial guardians often use your sleep time as a lesson period, just as you requested. And while many times you are unaware of the value of some dreams, it matters not that you understand them in your waking consciousness. Often you are learning as you seem to sleep.

“And while there are many, many circumstances, almost of a seemingly endless variety over which you have no control, you do have total control of your moody emotions. You may adjust your emotions at will.

“You smile. See, even now the unhappy thoughts of just a short while ago are leaving. You see the foolishness of allowing a dream sequence to control our happy day together.

“So very much is good . . . so good in your life right now. Your Father’s unconditional love has not changed. You have love and life and so very much to be happy about. And you have our friendship, my beloved sister. Allow those early morning thoughts to simply fade like the fog before the morning sun. All is well, very well, indeed!”
