On the Different Rhythms of Dream Time and Earth Time

Sometimes, in dreams, transformation happens in a heartbeat. A woman who has always frozen in fear finally speaks. A man who has always fallen from a cliff suddenly grows wings. A door that was locked for years opens effortlessly. These moments can feel like a quiet revolution inside the psyche, as if something long tangled has been untied in the soul’s deep chambers. When such a change appears in a dream, it’s a big deal. It doesn’t happen by chance; it’s often the result of some quiet inner work you’ve already been doing in waking life, even if you haven’t seen its effects yet. The dream world reflects our psyche’s ripening. For months or years, we may have stood at the same symbolic edge, the cliff we couldn’t move past, the closed door we couldn’t open, the abandonment that never resolved. And then, one night, something changes. You find yourself not frozen at the edge anymore, but realizing you’ve grown wings. This image shows that something inside us has shifted. Perhaps you learned to set a boundary, or became conscious of a pattern that once held you captive. The dream gives you a living image of that transformation. It’s the soul’s way of saying, “You’ve done something. You’re ready to move.”
