I dream of a house with red brick walls with several windows, and a story behind each window.
Who are these people calling out to me? And why me?
I offer them a ladder to step out, but they are unable to see beyond the wall.
Weeks later, I walk into an art exhibition with a painting like this, and those faces behind the windows haunt me again.
I find myself in police lock-up for vandalizing an exhibition. I smashed the painting.
I see hands reaching out to me across the bars. My lawyer has arrived to bail me out.

Sometimes all we see in windows is a reflection of ourselves. Your story helps us get past that to what may actually be looking back at us.

Windows have so much behind.
We need the eyes to see & maybe find.

Great story, behind each window there are things you don’t want to see.

And what if you have to choose one?
If you do a past life regression, they give such visuals to meditate on. Each window goes to a certain lifetime – choose one and step in.

I do believe there is something like that going on. Times when I have visited somewhere, and I am convinced I have been there before. I do dream a lot, and some re-occurring dreams have happened in real life. Although the dream is cryptic.
