A while ago I dreamt a nightmare. The next morning my friend called me and told me, that I had asked her in her dream to send me urgently light. She jumped literally out of bed knocked her eye and turned on the light next to her bed. I giggled, not because she hurt herself, but because of her reaction to turn on the "real" light and because I obviousely made it too urgent. I promised to do it more calm next time. Than I told her my dream since it was the explanation for why I needed the light.

"I was sitting in a tiny room all by myself. Next to me there were 3 more tiny rooms and in each of them was one woman. Outside was a man, killing one woman after the other and I knew I'm the next one he is going to kill. I thought about what to do to prevent that. And of a sudden I knew I have to talk to that guy but in a save way. I asked my Higher Self how we could manage that and we tied his hands and legs. My Higher Self than went right behind the corner ready to help if neccessary. I looked in that man's face and realized, he is a part of me. I asked him why he is killing all these women and he cried and said: I want to be spiritual. It is my highest priority. But to be spiritual I have to give up everything and everyone I love. I told him that this is a big fat lie. You don't have to give up anything to be spiritual. A glow came into his face and he looked at me a bit shy with the question "do you mean it" in his eyes and I said: Yes, I mean it. He was totally releaved and I felt deep love and the joy of him being healed of that. I said thank you to my Higher Self and we left the scene."

That dream showed me that love doesn't mean to ignore anything or anyone just because it is labeled "negative". To shuff it under the carpet or dump it to some cosmic garbage-place or simply deny it, isn't going to work. If I had done that he would have attacked me. Isn't that what responsibility means? To be willing to respond? Isn't that what love means? To recognize the inner aspects, know them more and more and understand their needs. Is that the "becoming more of who you are" means? Not just the physical "I" but the we. No more loneliness to none of us?
