Dreamed I was speaking with a woman I knew.  She had just moved into a house owned by someone else.  The former tenant, a man, had weighed around a thousand pounds and died in the house.  I could see his body in the living room.  He appeared to have died while he was sitting cross-legged on the floor.  He was ghostly white and naked and had a waxy appearance.  Police and firefighters were called in to remove the body, but after some discussion they told the woman they could not move his body.  It would have to stay there forever.  She now needed to decide how to live with and around the body in her home.  She decided to do that.

I am receiving information about someone I know (speaking to a woman).  She is changing her current situation or experience or consciousness (moving into a house).  In this consciousness, there is thinking and/or activity (man) which has come to an end (dead body).  It involves daily activities (living room). This thinking and/or activity has masculine qualities (male) and was very excessive (weight/fat).  The universal laws (police) are applied to try and permanently remove the remains of this thinking and/or activity.  Other help is called upon to overcome the residual strong emotions that remain (firefighters).  But it appears impossible to permanently remove the residual remains of the thinking and/or activity.  Even though it is no longer active, its presence will always be felt within this thinking.  The woman is accepting of that and chooses to stay.

After I had this dream, I had a conversation  with someone I know who has a tendency to severely overdo certain activities.  This can have a very negative effect on her life.  But she told me she had managed to gain control and would no longer be overdoing it.  She perhaps wishes she could completely eliminate the thinking and/or emotions she has which cause her to overdo this activity.  But she can’t.  That thinking and/or emotions will always be there and will be something she will just have to work around as she makes better decisions.

This is what happens to people who are alcoholics, drug addicts, shopaholics, gambling addicts, etc.  The thinking/feelings that produced the addiction never leave.  Those are always there.  If the person chooses to make healthier choices, they must work around the thinking/feelings. Recognize and respect what you think/feel, but don’t allow it to harm you.  Work on replacing the negative thinking/feelings with positive thinking/feelings.  It is a constant struggle for most people.
