I want to share my dream of this morning.
In the dream, I was at a charity venue. While I was walking around the venue, I was drawn to a certain area. There, surprisingly, I found a whole bunch of my personal items.
The items were my personal items I owned while I was in Japan. In my young adult days, aka in my 20s, I tended to buy expensive items without my will. I still regret most of the shopping at those days.
One time I bought a lithograph by the artist Michel Delacroix. I paid more than $5,000 at the art gallery in New York. I was just 25 years old at that time. I confess that I was not a big fan of his artworks. While I was browsing around the art gallery, I casually told the shop clerk I liked the artwork. I just wanted to be nice to the clerk; I was not planning to buy it. But the shop clerk thought I was willing to buy it. While he was happily started packing the artwork for me, I could not say I didn’t want to buy. That was how I ended up paying that huge amount of money for the artwork I was not fallen in love with.
Among my personal items, there were many brand-new formal outfits. The individual outfit cost me around $1,000 each. I simply could not say no to the shop clerk after tried them on. Even though the outfits were not my types, I always ended up buying them. And that was why I never wore the majority of the new outfits I bought.
At my first sight, I was shocked my personal items were being given away to strangers, for free of charge. I wanted to shout and yell so badly, but my voice did not come out. As you know, I was in the dream state.
Then, there was another part of me (not physical leveled me, but higher-self leveled me) kicked in.
The higher-self-leveled I was happy to see the scenery. Because, the scenery being given away was a graduation ceremony. It was time for me to say good-bye to “old-self”, aka, “immature younger days me who could not say NO to others.” I needed to see the scenery objectively without any kinds of emotions. I feel rest assured to know it was one scenery of my past; not happening right now.

Then I woke up.
I am glad I am not like my old-me anymore. Now I can buy things based on my will. I can definitely say NO to anything I don’t want to buy or do.
