Healing Isn’t Linear. Sometimes It Starts in a Dream.

Hello MindFull Readers,

Some nights ago, I had a dream that stayed with me even after I woke up.

In it, I was confronting my stepfather—calmly but firmly. We have a very complex relationship, which I have never dared to speak about prior to this. So, in this dream I was drawing clear boundaries, something I had never been able to do when I was younger. There was no screaming. No chaos. Just… clarity and power. A quiet power in choosing myself.

And when I opened my eyes this morning, I was greeted by something far softer—my beautiful family. All three of my children smiling at me. That moment felt like balm for my soul.

But my body still carried the weight of something. My shoulder—still painfully stiff and immobile—seems to be holding onto emotions I haven’t quite released yet. Our bodies remember what our minds try to forget. Sometimes, when we can’t speak the truth out loud, our bodies speak for us.

Like I mentioned, I know my relationship with my stepfather has always been a complex one. There were things that were never said. Feelings I tucked away because they didn’t feel safe to express. But last night’s dream felt like a reckoning. My subconscious, maybe even my inner child, saying: “It’s time.”

This healing journey is not linear—and sometimes, it begins in the quiet of the night, in dreams that feel more real than memory.
