New Year and Tsunami Dreams

Last night I had another tsunami dream.  I think this is the 3rd one I've had in about 3 months.  This one was incredible.  I was on a high floor of an ornate looking building.  Felt like it might have been more of a scholarly building but hotel is possible.  I was looking out of the huge windows of the main room part down over the ocean.  Out of nowhere a gigantic wave came over the glass window I was looking through and the roof part of the building (for some reason I knew it was the top floor).  I was the closest person to the window and was so afraid at expecting the windows to shatter with the force of water that all I could do was immediately drop to the floor and lay there in fear.  Amazingly the wave receded.  Everything went back to normal as if nothing would happen.  I heard someone nearby remark that the wave was about 76 feet high.  There were even smaller windows that were open down the hall and still no water got in.  It was a pretty incredible dream.

My dream a month or so ago was around the time I went to Hawaii.  I thought it was a warning or something.  I dreamt I was in a condo type of building by the seafront, where I lived in the dream.  The ocean came out of nowhere and swallowed up the parking lot and surrounded the building.  I tried to get my car to safety but the ocean caught up and the car was swirling in the water.  I somehow got out and swam back to the building, getting to safety.  Then as quickly as it came the ocean receded and became normal again.  All the water that had circled the building was now back where it should be.  The strange thing was that of all the tenants in the building I was the only one who seemed to notice the ocean had come there at all.  They were going about their daily life like nothing happened.

After I woke up today I thought "well okay what is this all about...why do I keep having vivid tsumani dreams?" so I Googled it.  I found out a lot of people are actually having tsunami dreams and felt a lot less alone after visiting this incredible blog:  http://sonael.wordpress.com/2006/07/23/tsunami-dreams/#comment-5434  It turns out from reading here that tsunami dreams can actually be a symbol of some sort of awakening or positive change.

I like to think of it as an awakening for the world that so many people are having tsunami dreams.  I am probably idealistic, but it would be fantastic if people around the world really were being swept with a wave of change where they would practice more love in their daily lives and acceptance, judging others less and letting people just 'be' who they are with open hearts.  I think the initial terror of the waves is kind of like the initial terror of 'change' which many people are afraid of and initially resistant to.  Once they accept/embrace the changes within themselves things can become better.  We can all hope for this anyway.
