A Dream of Dying?

Dear Everyone,
I share a sleeping dream I recently experienced. I loved the lesson that I received at the conclusion.
(Names have been changed to keep the innocent, innocent!) 
   
At the beginning of this, I was returning a check that mom had written, and I had noticed something “wrong” with it; some how it had been tampered with, so that it would not have payed the bill that it was intended for. I explained to her, that she needed to be more attentive when she wrote out her checks.
I then intended to get ready and go to work (a large magazine printing company). The dream then slipped between two scenarios; one in which I was the wife, calling the work place that my husband was late for, and that due to his absence, the “job” had gone to someone else. The other was that I was the husband.

My (the form of Mary) not being at the work place, and subsequent “demotion” led me to think that I no longer was employed by the company.
I left, feeling that I was free to follow another path.
I ran into Junie, and she suggested that I go with her on a trip she had planned. I agreed. We then went to see Sally and Bill, as Sally had spent time in Thailand and knew the customs and other details that would be helpful. Then it seemed that she would join our expedition. Junie then said she would meet us in Hawaii (in-route).

I shortly discovered that my ‘ex’ husband (Sam) was looking for me…. I had been a philandering wife, and now he chose to take revenge for my infidelity. Bill and Sally were with me, as I went through clothes to pack. (Bill was mostly sitting back, watching us). I noticed a movement outside, and realized that Sam was there. I told Bill and Sally to leave the apt. and heard Bill say: “easy there, easy Sam,” as he went up the stairs.  (This place had two floors, with bed rooms on the lower level.)
I placed my back against the wall near the entrance, feeling fears. I slid to a sitting position on the wall to wait. Sam would not instantly see me when he entered, letting his eyes get adjusted to the light. I knew that he had flipped out—insane—and I had no inclination to try to talk with him, to have him change his mind.  I just assumed that this was my end.
I wanted to “go to” God.
I began silently repeating: “let me remember You.” When he turned and saw me, he vented his anger and justifications for his grievances. He pointed the gun to my head and said, “die, bitch.”

I had shut my eyes to stay focused on my “mantra.”  Part of my mind (ego?) wanted to wake from the dream, the other part wanted to know the “end.”  (end of dreaming)
So I waited, heard the word “bang” in my mind. Nothing else seemed to change or come to awareness.

I then asked what was I to learn in this lesson?  Spirit: See the innocence in everything.
See the innocence in everything and you will see innocence in your self.  Then: <u>God’s Son is guiltless.</u>
I repeated “God’s Son is guiltless over and over” (or heard it over and over).

Whether I play the antagonist or the victim, God’s Son is guiltless. It does not matter what role I play out—
I am guiltless, my brother is guiltless. God’s Son is guiltless.
There is no reason, no cause for guilt. God’s Son has never left his Father.
God’s Son abides in perfect peace knowing Who he is and where he is. There is no fear in him.
He knows His Father and no other thought, idea, or image has replaced the Son’s knowing of All That Is.

How healed I would be if I would integrate completely, the “lesson,” God’s Son is guiltless, that Spirit gave me.
It has given me a profound sense of peace, well-being, and gratitude. Now, to assimilate that idea is my one goal.
