I don’t know much about dreams and how we ultimately view them through our Hashkafah, but I wanted to share a dream I just had which was very inspirational to me and may inspire others as well. I found myself walking along a street in a prominent Jewish neighborhood and saw an Israeli fellow walking a very old, Biblical-looking woman (think Sarah Imeinu). He said to me, this woman can grant anyone’s wish and it will come true. Of course I was skeptical, but after a minute I said okay, what could it hurt? I thought and thought and was really stumped what to ask for. One wish!! He let me approach her and ask. Time was moving fast.
I finally said, “Bless me please with mastery over my inner-emotional worlds (i.e. happiness, anger, contempt, jealousy, etc.).” She said fine, but then added, “Remember, though, if I grant your wish you’ll be depriving yourself of one of the greatest possible human feats this world offers of personal self-mastery and growing your Middos through your own hard work, plus the ensuing joy and reward of doing this yourself over your lifetime!” In my dream I pondered this and found myself agreeing with her, it made lots of sense. I said fine, let me keep that work for myself — it’s what living is all about anyway.
She then promptly disappeared, leaving me to ponder this lesson and appreciate the gift that Hashem has given us — our innate ability for personal growth. The gift that differentiates us humans from all the other creatures of the world, allowing us to approach and emulate Hashem Himself if we just put in the effort.
what date did the Rebbe tell you?
When you have the dream again please ask for Moshiach now!!!!!!!!!!!!!
connect to Hashem in every way you have available to u
there are many tools to get garbage out of the way, so that the real you can shine
it is work, hard work, but at the same time Hashem does help
and again, the real gook may be hard but doable
sometimes it seems barely doable
but that makes it all the more rewarding 🙂
we know, the harder we try at something the more pride we have

I once had a Rebbe dream. the Rebbe came to me and the first thing I asked the Rebbe was: when is Moshiach coming??? The Rebbe gave me an answer.. the date the Rebbe told me past already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought to myself can the Rebbe have told me something which was not true?!?!!? and l said NO!! the reason why Moshaich is not here yet is bc there are things that need to get done in this world b4 Moshiach can come!!! l need to work on myself a little bit more b4 his arrival!!! and lm really trying HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!… Read more »
a few months ago i had a dream of the Frierdiker Rebbe and to make a long dream short i asked him “Rebbe, when is Moshiach coming? it was a lucid dream. the Frierdiker Rebbe did not answer me but gave me a very penetrating stare.
lets have a new edition ” were we will post our dream ” that should be fun
then even while dreaming you’ll ask for moshiach
the first thing that came to my mind 2 was moshiach…
I have already started to think what I am going to wish…in case of having such an opportunity…
go back to sleep

If it was you, you would also be dreaming, so you don’t know what you’d ask for.
Just say thanks for this inspirational piece.
