The Power of Sleep

“I’m going to sleep on it,” my friend said yesterday in response to an issue she was having that was becoming more and more entangled in her mind creating utter frustration for her. I smiled to myself as I heard her words for I knew that the answer was going to come with such force and clarity that she would be unable to deny the power that comes from ‘sleeping on it’.

I sleep a lot. I look forward to sleep like the work-weary looks forward to Friday. My dreams are vivid and many times hold messages for me. Some I remember on waking; others are stored somewhere in my subconscious to be retrieved when needed.

We say it often. I’m going to sleep on it.

Do we use the phrase as a cop-out or are we guided to do just that by our intuitive self, our subconscious self, the part of us that knows the answer is there even before we asked the question?

There is power in sleep. Not just the renewal and rejuvenation it provides to the physical body, but the opportunities it provides for our astral bodies to explore, to experience, and to find answers to problems that plague us during our waking hours. Sleep allows us to connect to our ancestors, our guides, to the Divine, and to receive messages that we may not be open to receiving when we are busy with the doing.
Many of us do not get enough sleep. We are over-occupied. Too stressed. Too caught up in what we consider real life that sleep becomes a concept.

When we go to sleep looking for solutions, they come. Perhaps not in the way we prefer but we get a response nevertheless. It is always the answer that best facilitates our divine purpose.

I invite you to look to sleep for answers to your most vexing problems. Tap into the power that is given to us through dreams and visions.

When you don’t know it in the here and now, sleep on it.
