I dreamed I was in a car and I was eating, paying no attention to the fact that the car was driving very safely on its own. When I noticed that the car was moving, I thought, Boy, am I lucky to have the Inner Master taking care of me. I then decided to take control of the car and drive it myself. When I did this, the seat moved back so I couldn’t reach the steering wheel and the windshield got all foggy. I barely kept from hitting a truck.
Yours is a very good spiritual dream. The car, of course, is your life. The eating means doing the spiritual exercises and living the life of ECK, Divine Spirit.
Anyone who does the Spiritual Exercises of ECK finds his life runs very well because the unseen driver is the Inner Master. You know this. Trouble begins when one sees how well things are going and then takes credit for it. That’s the ego getting behind the wheel. The seat moved back means that the ego and mind are too far away from spiritual control (the steering wheel) to be able to run things right. The foggy windshield means the clouded vision of the ego, or the human self.
ECK dreams will give you all the direction in life you need.
Dreams hint at truth. I say hint instead of tell for a reason: Most people don’t actually want to know the truth. The truth hurts. Dreams can tell us when we’re unkind, unfair, vengeful, selfish, and other unpleasant facts that we need to work on spiritually. But truth makes most people uncomfortable, so they shut it out and forget their dreams.
I’ve tried many dream systems and have kept a record of my own inner travels for years. Of all the systems, the dream methods of ECK are the golden thread that have been of the most use to me for spiritual growth.
