April 2004 - Ask Kim Column
Dear Kim:
I keep having this awful dream in which I'm being chased by a shadowy figure who is going to hurt me. I frantically try to get away from him, but no matter how fast I run, he always catches up to me. Just at the moment he's going to grab me, I wake up. Then I'm so scared and upset that it takes me a long time to get back to sleep. Why is this happening and how can I make these nightmares stop?
Debbie W, 22

Dear Debbie:
Dreams can be amazingly real. We all receive enormous amounts of intuitive information while we sleep, but sometimes it's hard to interpret what the dreams are supposed to be telling us. The dream you described is actually a gift to you from your guardian angels. They are sharing valuable insight about several pesky issues that have been troubling you for some time, which include setting boundaries, dealing with confrontation, and speaking up for yourself when someone is trying to bully you.
In your dream, the "man" who is chasing you symbolically represents those issues. You always run away from the shadowy figure in your dream because in real life, you feel pressured, anxious, and uncomfortable when faced with those situations. And then when you make the choice to ignore or avoid a confrontation, you immediately become angry with yourself because once again you've buckled under and given up a little of your self respect.
But remember, in the dream, you always wake up before you're ever harmed. That indicates that there won't be any unpleasant or damaging results when you begin to address confrontation more assertively. The dream is telling you that there is nothing to be afraid of in facing those issues. If you begin to stand up for yourself and set those boundaries with the nincompoops in your life, you can rest assured (no pun intended!) that the dreams will stop. Stand tall! Speak up! Don't take any baloney! Set those boundaries! Say "NO!" when you want to! Be your own woman! Remember who you are! Let me hear what happens!

Dear Kim:
I have seen my life fall apart over the last three years. In contrast, I have seen several friends and family become financially and romantically prosperous. What should I do? Did my angels forget about me?
Angel P, 31
Sacramento, California
Dear Angel:
Our angels never forsake us, but I understand why you're asking that question because your life has come to a complete standstill. Let's talk frankly, shall we?
It can be downright demoralizing when everybody else seems to be moving forward but you and enjoying all the things that you find lacking in your own life. Especially when they're people you've helped along the way. It's not that you begrudge others their hard-won happiness; you're far too generous and enlightened for that. It's just that you've begun to wonder "when the (*&%$#!) will it be my turn? I'm working just as hard as they are!"
So, why aren't things happening for you right now? Your angels are trying desperately to help but you're unknowingly sabotaging the whole process by resisting to work through several simple issues that are wreaking havoc with your forward movement.
First, you are trying to arm-wrestle the universe in regard to timing. All opportunities come our way in the perfect time frames, and you are resisting that because of your issue of patience. Second, you are failing to live in the moment, or, bloom where you are. This means that before anything starts to move forward, you must let go of your impatience about what you don't have yet, and focus instead on what you do have and begin to enjoy your life right now. This is a real challenge because, currently, your life isn't at all what you'd like it to be.
Ironically, once you begin to live only in the moment and appreciate where your life is right now, things will start to move forward lickety-split. (I have Aries rising, so I fully understand your predicament!) I suggest that you run, not walk, to your neighborhood bookstore and pick up a copy of The Power of Now, by Eckert Tolle. This great book will help you master blooming where you are, and I promise that things will start happening for you. By the way...do you know that writing is a part of your life's work?

Dear Kim:
I have been living in New York for almost eight years and my life has been a series of disappointments. Please help!
Joanne C-W, 41
Brooklyn, New York
Dear Joanne:
I'm so glad you wrote to me, because I have the pleasure of telling you that your life is perfectly on track and moving forward at quite a nice clip. I'll bet you're thinking, "is she absolutely nuts? Then how come I feel so stuck?"
For the past eight years you've been investing your time and energy very wisely in resolving some very difficult issues. You have NOT been wasting your time! You've developed greater strength by facing rejection; greater courage through setting boundaries with those closest to you; greater self worth by facing adversity and then acknowledging that you've survived with your sanity intact; and greater confidence by taking the risks necessary to pursue your dreams in the performing and creative arts.
In the last eight years, you've done ten lifetimes worth of work! This is the time to celebrate, because you now have all those nasty issues behind you! And now because you're in a completely different place emotionally and spiritually, you're naturally questioning whether the guy you're living with is really "the one." Very brave indeed. So here's the scoop directly from your angels about where things are headed now:
Where you'll live: Later this year, you'll feel intuitively directed to move to southern
California---that's where you will have the very best personal and professional opportunities.
Your life's work: Screenwriting; and standup comedy, which you'll parlay into a popular television show.
Mr. Wonderful: You haven't met him yet. He's in southern California and you'll meet him when you get out there. (You've already been sensing that you'll soon be ending your current relationship.)
