In the past week, I have had three dreams or sleeping thoughts. I am puzzled.

In the first dream, I was at a school new to me and was receiving instructions about my classes, paperwork, and schedules. Then someone offered to lead me in the right direction and showed me the door to my room. Instead of a vertical door, though, it was like a mail slot—a horizontal opening in the wall with a flap to push forward. It was big enough for a person to go through, but it didn’t look easy or simple. So, I said, “I am not going through that door.”

The second dream was really just a thought, like a voice asking me, “What is the key to the door?” That’s all. I thought I should turn on the light and write it down, but I really was fully asleep, so I did not.

The third dream was last night. I don’t remember the “story line” of the dream, but the significant statement was, “Find the gate and walk through it.”

Awake, I am wondering, what new direction, or familiar direction, is hidden from me.
