Ending for a new beginning

Dream to reality

By Tessa BoutinPublished about 17 hours ago 3 min read

To the stranger in my DREAM,

Who created a world that felt like a reality where there was love created on a knowing, energy, where light was created in the darkest of shadows when my physical reality was torn apart piece by piece.

Synchronicities, fate, differences and surrender.

Dream: Writer of stories and composer of song.

Reality: Mother, Common law spouse, Step Mother, Community Health and wellness Service Worker, Friend, Sister.

Reality/Dream: Stable, Colours, Music, Outside, Laughter, Sunlight, Herbs, Stars, Satisfaction.

Dream: Energy being, Thriving, White, Bright, Light Pastel colors, Softness added to every sight and every sound, Food was fluffy and drinks were clear and carbonated in fancy glasses. Stars in the sky shining brighter than the city lights,

Everyone is expressive in their joy and kind to every being.

The dream: A scenario occurs and the lie is that there is another storyline happening at the same time with the same character flipping between timelines having two different storylines with a distinction in overlap. Main Character who goes between timelines has the same traits, dialect, facial features, way that she walks, does her hair, makeup and even how she manages stress. She has a husband in one dimension who is a musician, she has a daughter from a pervious marriage. He pursued her like his life depended on it and like nothing she had witnessed or experienced ever before. They empower each others healthy habits to support their physical, mental, spiritual well being. They write songs, play music, read together, cook, do community service work, enjoy time in the community and with family and friends and dance all the time together, it doesn't matter who is around; their love is infectious and radiated through the field so everyone takes a piece with them.

The Reality: The light that came kept the spark inside alive in reality and when the towers continued to fall in reality and when everything was different, all the people I once called friends were gone, family distanced in the depth and weight of the grief and it felt better to associate with a false reality when one day I woke up and began to put back the pieces of my broken heart with every step forward the mending on my heart brought the broken pieces back together.

I finally realized that my dream isn't the reality and I was missing out on the beautiful, joyful, loving reality I was apart of. Every step forward is an intention of love, every thought process began in the heart, I had to let you go and close the door to the reality that wasn't mine.

I am worth receiving the love that created that DREAM, allowing myself to move on from the grief of the DREAM that was never true REALITY.

I am grateful for the present moments, for the pure loving connections that my soul is worthy of receiving.

I release the DREAM from my shadow, may our energies find harmony and dance in the eithers of time, may the beauty that your loneliness creates and lifts up the world be exactly what heals you also.

Goodbye to the stranger in my dreams. Goodbye to the dream. It is time to feed the dreams of the younger generations, to come to life, to thrive joyously and happily.

May love bless you, May kindness always find you, May the music you create lift your soul and spread glitter all over the world; May you stay in the present moment and by doing so build upon happiness already experienced, May greatness find you and never leave; filling your heart within and may it never ever be forgotten.

Goodbye.....goodbye to the version in the dream.....and yet maybe the dream really is the reality and I have been hyper focused on the dream I have been missing the reality entirely.

With love,

The woman from your dreams
