A blinding spotlight is upon you. The curtain is about to rise, and with it your heartbeat.

Possibly triggered by a real, upcoming event, or simply recent worries about how you’ve been perceived, nightmares of being center stage are reminders that you should prepare yourself for what’s ahead. 

In your waking life you may feel alone, but your subconscious is with you, guiding you to practice, reveal, and express your feelings so they don’t erupt inside you. If you haven't rehearsed for something like you should…do it. But maybe you just haven't rehearsed what it is you want to say…so don’t do it. Because now is the time to let it naturally flow from you, without overthought or practice. Either way, your nightmare wants you to shine.
