A Dream AHA

I had a dream 2 nights ago that aliens had landed on Earth. They were erasing the emotions humans had connected to memories. People were running around screaming, as if they were being killed - all afraid to lose their emotions connected to memories. In my dream I was watching them asking myself  "Why are they running around like the aliens are shooting lazers at them?" It was so quiet and nothing was happening other than people running scared.

When it was my turn, I was beamed up to a spaceship and I remember being petrified and feeling like crying. The aliens actually looked like Light Beings - they were opalescent in color and not at all intimidating. I remember asking my self "Why am I so connected to old emotions attached to memories past?" I asked the Light Beings the same question and they simply looked at me. I remember telling them I was afraid because I didn't want to lose the joy I had when our daughter was born. They communicated to me that I couldn't lose the joy, love, bliss, etc. In fact, they explained, when I remove the old emotion, I can remember past events with a fuller, more satisfying emotion because of how much I have changed since the original memory. They said I could actually feel more joy when I remembered the day our daughter was born than I did originally.

Then I woke up and the question, clear as a bell was still in my head - "Why am I so attached to old emotions of memories past". That's when I got my AHA.

My ego tries to predict my future not on past memories, but on past emotions from past memories. It's the emotion I'm after. I try to control my future by accessing the old emotion, thinking I can control the future, when all I really have is access to an old emotion and most likely opportunities lost because I wasn't present in the first place.

Wow.
