Let’s just imagine that you are having a dream where you are up in the air flying and controlling the flight. When you want to get up off the ground and fly you are able to do this. Then at some point in the dream you start getting shot at and tumble to the ground. If you have read the post that I wrote about positive dreams, then you know that when your dream is only positive, it means that the positive energy that was felt in the dream is also available in real life. It doesn’t mean you can actually fly, but that you can uplift yourself and do things as if you were flying.

When you have a positive dream with negative elements, it means that while the positive energy is available, you are not going to be able to sustain the energy for a long time unless you deal with the issue that is presented in the dream. In the above dream, it is about being shot at. It tells you that when you are flying toward your positive goals in life, that someone is going to try to shoot you down. If you don’t solve the shooting part, your flying days will be over. It turns out that being shot down is a metaphoric way of how people use criticism to try to stop positive action often out of jealousy or fear. So if you can let go of the way criticism affects you, then you can fly endlessly.

Often, when you first have a positive dream, you can immediately put it into practice so that you can feel what the positive energy is like when applied in the real world. But after that, your being is going to want to sustain the energy even when circumstances become trying. It is one thing to be enthusiastic about where you are headed. It is quite another to maintain enthusiasm when a majority of people are against you, which is often the case when you are doing experimental things. New energy is going to be tested. It is how it matures and endures. Facing the difficulties and transforming them allows for having the quality to be permanently fixed within you.
