Signs

A week ago I had something really interesting happen to me. I was on the phone with a good friend of mine from San Francisco and we were talking about my writing and the dream space. We got into an amazing discussion about setting the intention before going to bed as prayers, to do the work in the dream state and to figure out the things I wanted to write about with the novel I'm working on. So that when I woke up in the morning I would do the work automatically when I write. I ended up being on the phone with her for two hours and had forgotten that I had left the kettle on over the stove, I wanted to make some tea. But because I was on the phone I forgot!


I went to bed soon after the phone call and prayed. I prayed and I called in my spirit guides to help me discover new things in the dream world. I was laying in bed trying to fall asleep and suddenly I felt an energy and a buzzing go through me and my right ear. I have been aware of this buzzing and energy that seems to go through me for the last 5 years of my life. The buzzing usually comes in through my left ear and I have seen orbs along with the buzzing in clear daylight. They are so much more evident during the day and much easier to see the orbs. But sometimes I can see color at night in dim lighting. 


This time I felt like there was something different about the buzzing since it went through the right side of my body. And so I thought cool my guides heard me and my prayers because I felt them. Then I went to sleep. The kitchen is actually in a separate apartment from my bedroom and so of course leaving the kettle on the stove was something that completely evaded my mind because I was literally down the hall in separate quarters.


At about 4 am, one of my roomates knocked on my door and woke me up to tell me what had happened. The kettle burnt up and it smelled like gas in our kitchen from the fumes. I felt completely horrible about the fact that I forgot and that I could of been responsible for a bad accident. My two roomates work odd hours and had just gotten home and had caught the thing burnt up. I'm just really thankful no one got hurt.


I just can't believe I forgot. I know I am human and we make mistakes. That energy going through my right ear was completely giving me a warning about something in my physical waking world but I didn't listen. Rather I didn't understand. But now I do. I feel like sometimes things like that happen in our lives to make us understand and to differentiate between things and to really know and recognize what the messages are that are being shown to us. 


Awareness. That's what I learned.
