8. The Dream Weaver of the Underworld
I have always been a daydreamer, starting as a young child and continuing to even now. I have always been a dreamer, contemplating the what ifs throughout my life. I have always been a vivid dreaming, understanding Jungian Psychology through dreams, learning to walk in the Dream Time, and receiving deep insight through my dreams.

When you come to me at night,you arrive unarmored. That is why I can speak to you..” And she gave me a message to share with those of you who read this: “Do not fear the underworld —it is simply the world beneath the noise. Do not fear your darkness —it is simply the part of you not yet touched by morning. And do not fear your dreams —they are the purest form of your intuition,unfiltered, unedited, unshy. Ask, and I will answer. Set an intention,and I will weave it. Trust me,and I will guide you through the caverns of your own becoming." AND then this line was said as her voice faded: "Tell them that their dreams are not fantasies —
