Trigger warning: This blog post includes mentions of sexual harassment and rape. If this is a topic you don’t feel comfortable reading about, please skip this blog post and I’ll see you here again next week.

Unlike many of my friends, students, and clients, I was not sexually harassed in my childhood. But I did experience two incidents of date rape.

Once, when I was very young and naïve, a handsome, wealthy guy with shoulders as broad as a hockey player and a Brad Pitt smile ensured I got drunk at a party. He was “kind” to invite me to stay at his place, because I couldn’t drive home. When we arrived at his house, he placed my almost-fainted body in his bed, lay over me, and penetrated me. I was trying to protest, but my “no, no, no” came quietly and helplessly under the influence.

Even though I hadn’t been sexually harassed as a child, I was as young as ten years old when I dreamed of a Neanderthal man who used to drag me to a forest and abuse me.

These dreams led me to learn about lucid dreaming. I learned how to be aware of my dreams and alter them at will. One night, when I was twelve, a Neanderthal man appeared, and I killed him with my awareness. That night had granted me immense power. I knew I could do anything I wanted and nothing could stand in my way.

The fact that this dream stopped appearing was proof that what I did in my dream had a real impact on my life. My subconscious was truly transformed.

This week, the Neanderthal man came back to my dream. This time, he took a little girl (probably my ten-year-old version) to rape her. I knew I had to stop him, but I also knew that my “no” would be muffled, weak, and unheard. So I gathered all my strength and I shouted as loud as I could, “Let her go!” It was so loud that I actually spoke in my dream, waking myself and my husband up in the process.

The next night, I had one of the most powerful dreams I’ve ever had. I was in a sacred place, standing next to a sacred tree, when I spotted a radiant, light blue baby elephant passing by. I woke up knowing that I had grown spiritually, and that this growth is thanks to my ability to find my voice the night before.

Our connection to the dream world is heightened during Scorpio season, when we are asked to balance Pluto Energy, as Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio.

Pluto is the planet of empowerment through fear. It forces us to face the scariest situations, so that we can claim our super strength. Pluto rules our psyche and our subconscious. Dreams are the doorway to the Pluto realm. Our nightmares are opportunities to claim our power.

I probably came to this world with the trauma of rape I carried from previous lives. In this life, I am asked to heal it. But more than healing it, I am asked to gain my power through it.

How to Balance Pluto Energy Through Your Dreams

1. Pay attention to recurring themes in your dreams – these are issues your subconscious calls you to address, as they manage your psychology and hold you back from realizing your full potential.
2. Before you go to sleep, think about how you’d like to deal with these situations in your dreams. Imagine yourself in the dream doing the things that will make you feel powerful. It’s important to add visualization to your thoughts, to actually see the dream unfolding the way you want it, in your mind’s eyes.
3. Go to sleep and see what happens. It might take more than one time to practice until it works. It might take months or years. Sometimes, simply by practicing this technique, the issue is resolved and the dream stops appearing. If that happens, see it as an accomplishment.

Dreams aren’t always gentle — sometimes they ask us to face what we think we can’t on a conscious and subconscious level. Know that your courage to face your own “Neanderthal” transforms darkness into light, and brings awareness and compassion into your dream and waking lives.

Have a wonderful week,
With love,
Yael
