Re: not sure how to take this
Very deep, I think. I agree with John that dream symbols are very personal, but some symbols are more common, from what I've seen.
I used to frequently have what I now call "the baptism dream", only in my dream, I'd completely submerge myself in water (pool, lake, ocean, whatever). At the time, I didn't understand it, but it was a desire to "wash clean" and "be refreshed" and all those things associated with baptism. You don't have to be a Christian to understand this symbol, of course. I have a Jewish friend who has this same kind of dream, because the symbolism is very deep and well understood.
When I saw your dream, I immediately thought of baptism. (Disclaimer: Dream symbols are personal. So please consider your OWN meaning. I'm just offering thoughts from my own observations.)
The other thing, the statement about perception, well, yes. That's 100% correct. Your perception is what shapes your reality, and not just "how you look at it". Your perceptions (beliefs, attitudes, worldview, etc. etc.) actually create your reality. Change those underlying beliefs and your reality changes, and not just in the way you perceive it... But in the end, the only thing that REALLY changes... is the perception. One of those lovely paradoxes that is not a paradox.
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
