We Have More Power Than We Know!

Lucid Dream 2010
It was dark, and I could not see. I was running, and so, so afraid! I was in a dark tunnel at the end of a group of people, trying to keep them all together and moving. I felt responsible for them. The tunnel opened and we were in a bigger, very dark area. There were other people besides my group in the dark and they were also running!
My son Andrew, age 12, was at the head of my group. I urged him to keep running, to lead our panicked group away as fast as he could. Around the edge of my group, I saw those that we were running from. They were hideous, with masks that had expressions of fear, anger, and sadness on them. They would run toward us, then veer away from us at the last possible moment. It seemed like they wanted to attack us, but were too afraid of us. I felt such fear and worry for our group I did not know how I would save them.
At last, we came to a large body of water, with no way of going around it. We were trapped and couldn’t go right or left. Andrew still ran in the lead, and I heard groups of those hideous ones running behind me closer and closer. It was chaotic. I yelled to Andrew “Part the water!”. “I can’t!” he yelled back. “You can, do it NOW Andrew, NOW! I’ll help you!”
I sent him a wave of energy, and he parted the water in front of us. We did not have time for surprise, we kept moving as fast as we could.
Our group ran through, between the walls of water. One of those that we fled from ran on the opposite way from us, desperately trying to avoid us. It was at this moment that I understood. They were as afraid of us as we were afraid of them. They weren’t trying to attack us, they were trying to group together and avoid us, just as we were trying to group together and avoid them!
We continued running between the walls of water in the pitch dark. Occasionally, one of those hideously grimacing people would run away from us. Instead of fear and worry, I felt pity for them. I let them all pass so that they could be with their kind, and we would be together. I still felt the responsibility for my group, to get them to safety, but my fear had dissipated. I had finally understood it all.
When we were through the body of water, we went up a very large hill. At the top was an escalator moving up. I had Andrew take the lead as we were still in the dark, and I helped our group onto the large escalator, so they could move up. Occasionally a masked one would pass, and I would step aside to let them by, for they were going down.
I realized that these masked ones were filled with fear, anger, and sadness, and could see nothing more than their own personal world. They were in the dark. They did not want to go to the light like my group did, but rather to go elsewhere in the dark, among their own kind.
In parting the waters, I was able to show Andrew that he had his own power inside of him. He had what it took to manipulate energy, he just needed the belief and the motivation to try. All of us have the ability to manipulate energy, we just need to learn the technique and have the belief and motivation to try.
