I love sleeping late. It really is one of my favorite things to do. It is one of the few free things that gives me much joy. To wake up and and see the morning sunlight streaming through my windows, know that I don't have to be up yet, turn over and catch some more Zs; there's nothing like it!.We had snow again last night. Due to this most recent dusting we had a delayed start at work. So, Yay! I got to sleep late. I woke up to the day light coming through my window, not to the sound of the alarm. I turned over ane went back to sleep. Not into a deep sleep but a lite one. The kind of sleep where you can hear noise in the backgroud but are not really conscious of it. That's when it happened!
In those early morning moments, as I drifted between sleep and not sleep it happend. I heard the voice. It was not just any voice it was my own voice. I could hear my own voice in my head as clear as if I were speaking outloud. The craziest part, as if this doesent' sound crazy already, is that I was giving myslef advise. Like I said as clear as if I were speaking outloud I heard my own voice say Stop Trying To Predict The Future.
The funny thing is this is exactly the advice I needed. I dont deal well with uncertantity. I like to have a plan. I enjoy making lists and checking things off. I like often find myself anticipating the outcome of situations. I struggle with worrying about what could happen. In short I try to predict the future and feel stressed because I cant. See this advice was right on time.
This is actually the second time I have had this experience. Maybe during that twighlight sleep my brain is actually quiet enough to hear itself thining clearly and not distracted by my surroudings and random thoughts. I'm sure some of you would say maybe in that quite moment I can actually hear God communicating with me. Perhaps both are right.
I am happy to have found another benefit sleeping late, I can clearly hear the voice in my head. She actually knows what she's talking about.
Have you ever had a similar experience? When do you find your thoughts are the most clear? What does your inner voice sound like? Do you recognize her voice?
