In this article, I delve into the relationship between mental health and spirituality, inspired by a vivid dream I had about my late friend, Jeremy, who passed away on New Year’s Eve last year. This reflective piece is dedicated to him on the anniversary of his departure.

Jeremy lived a remarkable life, overcoming his deafness and muteness with immense wisdom and intuition. While the title of this account may suggest a religious theme, it is more an exploration of my inner thoughts and aspirations for peace, health, and happiness in 2023.

Although I don’t identify as religious, I have great respect for various faiths and have spent many years studying their essential messages with an open heart. My journey has intertwined scientific insights with spiritual narratives, enriching my understanding of holistic health and well-being.

The teachings I have encountered have profoundly shaped my belief in the necessity of balancing physical, mental, and spiritual wellness. Living in Australia, a multicultural society, I find joy in celebrating the diverse religious holidays of my friends and family, which enhances my own sense of happiness.

This narrative aims to share my recent lucid dream experience and an expert interpretation from Jungian dream analysis. Lucid dreaming allows the dreamer awareness and some control over the dream narrative.

In my lucid dream, I sought to connect with Jeremy on the anniversary of his passing. The pandemic had prevented me from bidding him a proper farewell or attending his funeral, leaving me curious about his spiritual journey after death.

I had always admired Jeremy's resilience, and his passing left me with deep sorrow. Yet, I find comfort in believing he has found peace, a sentiment he conveyed in my dream.

The dream unfolded at Jeremy’s imagined resting place, where overwhelming emotion caused tears to flow. Unlike previous cemetery visits, I felt the weight of my grief in this dream state.

I was cognizant of my dreaming, standing in a tranquil meadow that housed Jeremy’s memorial. The sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow, and I saw Jeremy approaching with a radiant smile.

His presence brought me comfort, and I felt thankful for this reconnection.

“G’day, Mehmet,” he greeted me warmly. “I hope you’re well and finding joy in life. Remember, you’re strong and capable of overcoming challenges. Keep pursuing your dreams.”

I was astonished—how could he speak so clearly after a life of silence? “How is this possible?” I questioned, still in disbelief.

As a heavenly chorus echoed the words, “God is watching from a distance,” a profound sense of the divine enveloped me, reminding me of an omnipresent higher power.

“Death changes everything,” Jeremy explained. “I hear everything now—it’s as though the universe’s voices are accessible to me.”

This left me speechless. Jeremy’s spirituality was evident in life; now, it seemed his faith had transcended into a new reality.

As we strolled through the meadow, floating above the grass, he introduced me to celestial beings, each with distinct gifts. The angelic chorus repeated, “God is watching from a distance.”

Golden-winged angels harmonized praises, encapsulating the idea that the divine watches over us all with unconditional love and compassion.

“I always thought my deafness was a divine test,” Jeremy shared. “The Divine wanted me to discover life’s beauty on my own terms.”

During the dream, I felt a profound understanding: life and death are interlinked, each essential to the other.

As I embarked on this journey, I felt the gaze of divine beings guiding me toward enlightenment. While the concept of enlightenment varies for me, the celestial chorus instilled a sense of divine protection.

In this ethereal place, I encountered another beloved friend, Janine, a psychotherapist who had also passed before Jeremy. Her presence triggered a wave of grief.

“I can’t believe you’re both here,” I said, tears filling my eyes. “It’s wonderful to see you again. You’ve visited me in dreams since you left.”

“We’re always with you,” Janine reassured me, her voice soothing. “Though we may not exist in your world, we are never far away.”

“Death is just a transition,” Jeremy added, nodding. “It’s a passage from the earthly realm to the spiritual.”

Janine smiled, her eyes bright. “It’s not as frightening as you might think. Here, there are no limitations—just peace and freedom.”

She recounted her experiences after death, describing enchanting landscapes and the loving guidance of spirit guides. Her stories resonated with me, as if echoing teachings from spiritual texts I had encountered.

Suddenly, a thought struck me. “Have you seen Twitch lately?” I asked, recalling Stephen Boss’s tragic passing in December 2022.

Janine paused, a hint of concern in her voice. “There are challenges on this side too. It’s a place of love and growth, where we can truly be ourselves. Remember, God observes us from every dimension.”

I listened, feeling uplifted yet sensing Janine held back some truths. The chorus’s refrain intensified, underscoring the moment.

As Jeremy and Janine began to drift among heavenly beings, I realized it was time to bid farewell and conclude my intentional dream. I intended to inquire about Twitch in my next dream.

This dream was a precious glimpse into the mysteries of the afterlife, and I felt grateful for the love and wisdom imparted during this meditative experience, even as I recognized many unanswered questions lingered in my mind.

Upon waking, I felt invigorated and directed for the coming year. The experience of this lucid dream opened my eyes to the universe’s hidden aspects.

I reaffirmed my commitment to living fully, guided by intuition, memories, and the love of those who have passed.

Later, I reached out to my mentor and friend Henry, a retired psychiatrist and longtime meditator. I shared my dream experience, questioning whether I had genuinely connected with my friends.

Henry, approaching the matter scientifically, remarked, “I can’t say for certain, but it’s likely not what you think.”

He interpreted my experience as a connection with my higher self, an imaginative exploration of my thoughts and feelings about those I had lost and the recent death of Twitch.

Having lost friends during the holiday season, Henry noted how this time is often paradoxically linked with heightened suicide rates.

He believed my intuition had fused with intellect in a different mental state, conjuring a new reality.

Henry, like me, doesn’t adhere to a specific religion but respects those who do. He leads a meaningful life shaped by intellect and esoteric understanding.

I then asked him how the lyrics “God is watching from a distance” were represented in my dream.

Henry posited that my higher self, my subconscious, was shielding and guiding me during this altered state of consciousness.

He suggested that my mind conjured images of my friends to provide support amidst life's challenges.

Henry also noted that daunting challenges for humanity might be perceived differently by more advanced beings in the cosmos, hinting at a broader understanding of existence.

This concept invites further exploration, as it challenges our perceptions of cosmic consciousness and our place within it—an idea I will delve into in future writings.

After each lucid dream or meditation, I feel a renewed sense of direction in life. The symbolic voices of my friends have illuminated my path, aiding my lower self in navigating worldly challenges.

While meditation yields insights, the emotional depth of lucid dreaming is unparalleled.

Reflecting on my meditative journey, I appreciate the gifts bestowed by my higher self—insights into the universe's mysteries and unique connections with loved ones.

As I continue my exploration of meditation, I am drawn to teachings that emphasize optimism, growth, and living in the present moment.

Practicing mindfulness has revealed the power of forgiveness and the importance of releasing grudges, transforming envy into admiration.

Through meditation, lucid dreaming, and mindfulness practices, I experience a deeper connection to life and a sense of peace.

In reflecting on my health journey, I recognize that meditative practices may offer pathways to express thoughts and emotions healthily.

These practices illuminate our understanding of the universe and our roles within it.

I feel fortunate to possess empathy, intuition, and compassion, which foster meaningful connections and enhance my mental well-being.

The key takeaway from this narrative is:

As we keep our hearts, minds, and souls open, our faith strong—regardless of our spiritual paths—we can connect with the universe's hidden wisdom through our higher selves.

I also believe that everything can be figured out, a reality I've experienced multiple times. I wish everyone peace, health, happiness, and miracles in 2023.
