Hello. On the morning of October 7th or 6th this last year, (I can't quite remember the date for sure), I woke up from a dream that was on repeat while half asleep. I was in a place I commonly go to that I call my happy place in my mind, which is a nice grassy area with trees and a creek. There was a tall being of some sort standing next to me at the side of the creek. I could sense this being rather than see them. I sensed that they gestured toward the creek's end, which turned into a waterfall. Just before the water falls off the edge, the water was swirling in place, but not flowing over the edge yet. I could kind of zoom my vision in on it; the water was shimmering green and gold, and there was a word I could make out amongst the contrast in shades of color. It's a swirly-looking word, but it very clearly spells out "diaspora." At the time, I had never heard the word or knew what it meant. I thought it looked very pretty the way it was presented. The being next to me on the shore of the creek explained, not in words but in thought, that "this is what that is." I wasn't sure what the "that" was that they were talking about. This dream repeated about a dozen times, as far as I could tell. And I had a feeling that I needed to remember the word, "diaspora." When I wake up, I typically check the messages on my phone. So I picked up my phone, and the first thing to pop up in my notifications was the headline about Israel being bombed by Palestine. I thought about how awful it was that there's such violence there again. Later, I was thinking about that dream that was on repeat. So I looked up what it "diaspora" meant. This is one of the definitions listed: "the dispersion of the Jewish people beyond Israel." I'm not sure why I had this dream. I don't have any connection that I know of to either side in the unfortunate and sorrowful conflict there. Anyone have any ideas?
