I moved my work stuff into a very nice bus.  The bus was arranged so that there weren’t   many seats and each seat had a desk and plenty of space to work.  I set my desk up the way I wanted to, sat down and started happily working.  The bus had very large windows running the length of the bus on each side, lots of interior lighting and was pleasantly decorated.  There were other people on the bus but I didn’t pay any attention to them as I was busy with my own work.  It wasn’t crowded and felt very spacious.  It was a very pleasant work environment.  I looked out the window to my left (South) and noticed that a terrible storm was coming.  The sky roiled with black clouds and within just a minute the clouds filled the southern sky.  I saw flashes of white, red and yellow lightening throughout the clouds.  It was a storm the likes of which I had never seen in my life.  Then a man stepped out of the black clouds and onto the land that my bus sat on.  He was of Hispanic origin.  He was dressed very nicely in white casual slacks and a cream collared shirt.  The man had three or more lion cubs with him.  They were perhaps a year old, so they were big but not full grown.  He and the lions walked around the bus and stopped on the northern side.  He paid no attention to the bus but he did seem aware it was there.  I knew this man was extremely dangerous.  He seemed to be a drug cartel lord-someone deadly and without mercy.  He appeared to be in control of the area.  I knew I was safe inside the bus as long as he ignored it.  But I also knew that I would need to step out of the bus occasionally to take care of business for my work.  It would mean I would have to step into the midst of his lions and grab whatever it was I needed and then rush back to the bus.  I didn’t know if  I would be able to do that without being harmed or killed.  I was not looking forward to it.

I make a change of consciousness (moving) into new thinking/being that I find very nice. I share this thinking with others who are also experiencing the same thing I am (on the same bus).  This change in thinking is with my current occupation or duties/obligations (work). I put in order or reorganize my thoughts/work (desk). This change in thinking comes with great knowledge (good lighting) and clear awareness of what is happening (many big, clean windows).  Because of this, I am suddenly aware that changes or difficulties have come to my work or environment (storm).  This seems to stem from materiality (South).  This storm is caused by others inability to see clearly because of their emotions and/or thinking (clouds) as they receive knowledge they didn’t have before (black).  There will be emotional and/or mental outbursts (lightening). Some will be positive and show spirituality (white) and others will show intelligence (yellow) and others will show anger or misunderstanding (red).  Out of this upheaval will come a person of authority (boss) with a group mentality (Hispanic) who leads strictly in the disciplinary or authoritative role (man).  He will have a casual, modern identity (slacks) and personality (shirt) that he shows the world and is possessed of some level of spirituality (cream). He will mislead others out of their normal thinking and possibly even cause them to give up their personal will (drug cartel lord). He will seem wise as he assumes his position (northern) in the world.  He will have a great, growing power (young lions) which he exhibits physically, mentally and spiritually (three).  For the most part I am safe from him because he chooses to ignore people like me.  But sometimes I have to venture out to get what I need to accomplish my work.  When I do, I am putting myself in danger (into the lion’s den).  This won’t be often, but it will be more than once.

It appears I am being warned of a trying time coming to my environment.  I am well situated and more or less protected.  But there will be times when I will have to expose myself to accomplish what I need to.  This will be a scary time.  No sense of timing is given to indicate how long it will last, so I must expect it to last for at least a few years.  It feels like a permanent change in conditions.
