Hey everyone,
I not long ago woke up from a striking experience.  I can't remember too much, but I was walking through the rooms of a house I'd lived in with my parents several years ago.  There was nobody else there, and in the background I could hear the song "Runaway Train" by Soul Asylum.  The lyrics are here, and it greatly disturbed me how relevant they are to my current life situation.  I was wondering if anyone else here has experience with this kind of incident...also whether people here would consider it a message from someone in the Afterlife...a relative...or whether it'd be from my own subconscious?

I finally found a site with something I could listen to:

This is very interesting to me...I usually pay more attention to "acoustic" music, and I think this piece would be very intense done acoustically. I have a bit to think about.

so does any of this "resonate" with anything in you?

You have touched me deeply....

Hello (Mr) Chun Li,

That you perceive relevance or parallel aspects between the elements described in the song, and in your current life situation, is good. Ask yourself why you are only 'disturbed' by it. Is it even necessary or helpful for you be disturbed by it?

Any situation by itself is neutral, natural, even (potentially) good. Now it is all left to what you will do with the results of your inquiry into this issue, that is, if you are willing to investigate further into it.

By this investigation, I mean you ask yourself the right questions (Inquiry process), and only you have the answers. The answers as you choose to perceive and understand them, as you would choose to relate to their meaning, as you would choose to experience and implement them.

The parallels, relevance or uncaniness of your dream is of course, no coincidence. This is true on both levels.

On the first, *any* event, incident, response or dream, even if it is *not* deliberately 'manipulated' or 'guided' by any other intelligence or energy, will *still* have some useful meaning to it, *if only* the consciousness is willing to inquire into it.

In other words, instead of caring "who gave this message?", focus more profitably or wisely on "what does this message have to teach me?"

On the second, since every opportunity is so precious, intraphysical incarnation is so valuable, so many beings of so many levels are all involved with so many polykarmic projects, there's no way any being in his/her right, intelligent mind, would not use any conceivable opportunity to assist or participate in some way. (This applies equally for both intraphysical and extraphysical consciousnesses).

Hence, all such SYMBOLS, whether from a physical event, a dream, or words from another, in which there is some 'extraordinary' or perceivable significance to your consciousness, you can be assured that the guides & helpers (a generic term, the involvement/assistance may be personal, or it may not be, it does not matter), will have their hand in guiding the communication through, maximizing it's clarity and usefulness, for any given situation, to the extent that you (every person) are willing to work along with this.

For most part, the guides & helpers will want to remain in stealth mode and anonymous; so most of the time, most individuals will not even perceive their involvement in most matters. This makes good sense, because it can be counterproductive to the issue, if the focus is distracted away from the issue at hand. Just as it would be more productive for the student to focus on the subject rather than the teacher.

Hence, if you have reason to suspect (ie. if it makes logical and intuitive sense to you) the symbols you received in the dream was communicated from another, such as "someone in the Afterlife...a relative?", or "from my own subconscious?", then explore this both ways. Maximize your opportunities.

That is, if it was indeed from a deceased relative, so what would it then mean to you? What could the point(s) of the message be? Guide your process of uncovering the most beneficial answers by focusing on the higher vibrational possibilities, on ideas that would be *helpful*, not ideas that might be fear-based (interference or intrusion from blind guides are possible at anytime, in dream or awake, to any who entertain such ideas... hence, blind guides always exacerbate, rather than cause, the difficulties. Self responsibility.).

Explore the possible meaning to each issue brought up by the dream, knowing (be assured) that the guides, helpers and whoever wanted to communicate (via the dream) the message to you, are (right now) connected to your consciousness and can *still* (and will) assist you in your answers-uncovering process.

If you feel the source of the dream is totally from your own subconscious (which is also not neglected for use as a tool for your higher self (the real you) to communicate to your incarnated personality (the role-playing you)), still the same rules apply in unmasking the answers.  Ask yourself what it could mean to you that would be helpful to you.

In *ALL* cases, *regardless* of the source of the symbol (eg. subconscious, higher self, deceased relative, guide or helper, blind guide or intruder, etc), for the discerning soul making the effort to maximize his/her lucidity, clarification and evolution, there will *always* be additional, meaningful insights to be gained, another point of view from that which you've previously only considered, that could be of benefit in terms of the issues you're dealing with.

The issues from the depths of your soul as you have chosen to explore them, made manifest in the mirror of the story of the external physical world, the story of your life.
