Writing: Helpful Healing Dreams

 A friend of mine when saying goodnight often said: Good Night. May you have helpful healing dreams.

I thought always that this was a good thing to say to people too after I heard it the first time.

I titled this article "Helpful Healing Dreams" because writing for me is "Helpful Healing Dreams".

The world can be very fragmenting and chaotic and if you buy into all that soon you are either a nervous wreck or sick or dead.

So, you have to find a way to separate yourself to some degree from the insanities of life so you can survive in this world not just physically but also emotionally, Spiritually as well as physically survive in this world.

I realized a long time ago when I was still fairly young.

I first found this out physically when I bought 2 1/2 acres of land in the wildnerness of Mt. Shasta at 4000 feet and built an A-Frame for myself and my family.

The next 5 years we mostly lived in this home we had built together and during this time I had built a new physical life completely from the one I had lived in before. I had started my own life in my own way in a way that I had designed my life myself with help from family and friends.

This completely changed how I saw everything in my life.

I remember one day when I had to go to the San Francisco area on business and I stopped in Vacaville for Gasoline for the car I was driving and I found myself just laughing at how trapped people are generally in cities everywhere. I saw them as little Hamsters running in their little hamster wheels going nowhere at all.

Whether this was true or not from their point of view it was what I experienced.

It was then maybe that I realized just how important it had been to my life and well being to move away from the big cities of Los Angeles and San Diego and San Francisco away from everything.

Because once I had found my center in the wilderness I found I never really lost it after that. I was always finding ways to heal myself and my family and to try to innoculate them from the craziness of life.

Life has always been crazy just in different ways in different eras.

I was born in 1948 but it was 1980 32 years later that I finally found myself and bought land and built my first house for my family. (I had already built by then with my father his retirement home and I had helped build my friend's home starting in 1976 in Mt. Shasta and I had  helped a friend who was a  French Architect building a   house in Mt. Shasta as well along the way.

So, by the time I built a home for my wife and children I had already built or helped build many homes and businesses along the way.

The point of this article is that none of us really ever fit into this world so unless we create a world that we are happy in then life is always a struggle and a burden.

So, if you write "Helpful Healing Dreams" when you are inspired it might help you as you move forward with your lives.

I finally found my writing voice in 1980 the same year I bought land and built a home for my family then. So, 1980 was a very pivotal and powerful time in my life and I look back now and realize if I hadn't had 1980 to 1985 in Mt. Shasta I likely wouldn't be alive now at 75.

So, if you can write your helpful healing dreams that help you make living your life worthwhile.
