Last night, I had a dream that stirred something deep in me. It wasn’t just a dream😴 it felt like a message from my ancestors, my inner child, and my higher self all at once.
It started in a house that belonged to my father. After an event he didn’t attend, I came home to find my cousin from my mother’s side getting ready in the bathroom. I was confused.
Why was he here? He looked at me calmly and said:
“This is my house too.”
That sentence stuck to my spirit.
I started checking the rooms. Each one held another male cousin , both from my paternal side. It felt like my lineage was colliding in one place, a space where boundaries didn’t seem to exist.
🌪️ Emotional Entanglement & Energetic Overload
I left the house in disbelief. On the porch, my father asked me:
“You gonna pay me back that $3K?”
I didn’t have it. The question made my stomach hurt, physically. In the dream, I could feel the ache, the shame, the pressure. I was holding back tears as I walked to my car. My oldest brother walked with me, and I finally let the tears fall. I cried in the dream and in real life.
And as if that wasn’t enough, my dad brought up old financial drama involving my ex and my mother. More accusations, more confusion, more blame. At that point, I woke myself up.
I didn’t want to be in that dream anymore. I didn’t want to carry that energy in my spirit.
🔮 The Message Within the Dream
This dream was a mirror 🪞 reflecting generational debt, emotional boundaries, and the weight of unresolved stories. Here’s what I uncovered through reflection:
The House 🏠 = My Inner World.
People showing up uninvited symbolizes emotional boundaries being crossed.
Family Collisions = Inner Conflict.
I’m navigating parts of my upbringing that feel disjointed or misaligned.
The $3,000 = Emotional Debt 💸 .
It’s not just about money 💰 it’s about the expectation to give, to repay, to be responsible for wounds I didn’t create.
Walking 🚶🏽♀️ to the Car 🚙 = Seeking Peace.
My brother beside me showed me that support is possible, even in pain.
Crying 😭 = Release.
I finally let go of what I’d been holding.
Waking Up = Choosing Myself.
I literally exited the dream, and symbolically, I exited the narrative.
🌱 Journal Prompts for Your Own Reflection
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by family expectations, emotional obligations, or spiritual burnout, this is for you 💫:
- Where in my life do I feel responsible for emotional debt that isn’t mine?
- What stories from my family line am I still carrying, consciously or unconsciously?
- How do I show up when my boundaries are crossed or ignored?
- What emotions have I been suppressing that need a safe space to be released?
- Where in my life do I need to wake up and walk away from a narrative that no longer serves me?
🖤 Final Words: I Choose Peace
Dreams can be sacred teachers. They can call you to the surface, hold up a mirror, and whisper truths you’ve been trying not to say aloud.
This dream reminded me:
I’m not obligated to hold everything.
I can honor where I come from and still protect my peace.
I can grieve what was and still choose what will be.
And most importantly..
I can exit the room, the story, or the system that tries to make me small.
With love,
Briyana
