How Loving Anthony Kiedis has changed my life

So Thoughts...become things.  Dreams are thoughts.  They are the thoughts that roam about the subconscious, which analysts say are the more vital thoughts for the production energy.  In other words...if thoughts become things....dreams are the superthoughts that have the power to produce the greatest things!  the key to tapping in is tuning in.  About 6 months ago I began a campaign to tap into my dreams.  Last night I experienced the most vivid and interesting dream I have had in many years.  I have to journal about it because it was profound and within it must lie a very important message from the deeper recesses of my subconscious mind.

Many of you who know me or ever read my profiles and observe my "likes" are aware of my love for Anthony Kiedis, the Lead singer of The Red Hot Chili Peppers (RHCP).  I first discovered them when I was not quite 16 years old and I have been a diehard fan ever since.  I have always loved Anthony.  I have never dreamed about him before now until last night and the dream was very very vivid.  I will assume that Anthony being there was a message to listen to that part of myself that I hold most dear and that would be, my dreams and my beliefs.  Anthony Kiedis is a Vegan who observes the philosophy of Middle Eastern practices like buddhism and Yoga.  He uses breath therapy and retreats to restore his creativity and battle his addictions.  He surfs and stays physically active to balance his deep inner world and outer world, thus producing (in my opinion) his ability to write song lyrics that speak to people (like me).

Kiedis is a Leader to me...not the only one, certainly, and not without major failures (behind him), ultimately leading to his success.  Last night I had the privilege of exploring what it might be like were I able to meet one of my Idols of Pop culture.  In my dream I was visiting a Theme Park and as night approached, I entered a bar that was part of the park (similar to World Showcase at Epcot).  The bartender was Anthony Kiedis and nearby the drummer from the band, Chad.  I was immediately dumbfounded to see Kiedis there and began apologizing for the mess I looked like, as if in an effort to show him that I could be WAY more beautiful then I looked at that moment..funny, huh?

Kiedis was surprisingly approachable and gave me his full attention as I stumbled to find words fitting enough to express my enormous affection and knowledge of and for him.  I was trying to do this in a guarded way so as to not let him think I was a stalker/psycho.  He must have misinterpreted this or else it backfired because he immediately introduced me to Chad and explained that Chad was recently Single after separating from his wife.  I thought Kiedis must have a girlfriend and thinks I am looking for a relationship.  I changed my approach and relaxed a little and embraced the introduction and began to feel confident...as though I was in fact among friends and people who were my peers.  I talked a bit about my musical background and that helped.

By the end of my dream, I had gotten a very nice compliment from Kiedis...that he loved my hair!  In my dream I explained that I had been using red henna to create this color and wanted that "rock-star" edgy look.  Anyway, his approval felt really good.  He kissed me on the cheek as I left and I no longer felt like this amazing guy was way out of my reach.  I interpret this as meaning the dreams and beliefs I have about how I want to live (which I associate with Kiedis) are also, NOT out of my reach.  They are within my reach.  I can attain them.  I can attain them.  I can attain them.

Now I am feeling happier than I have in weeks.  Not because of some silly dream, but because in my dream I placed myself in a moment I have literally dreamed about having in my lifetime.  a moment when I can meet a Legend of Music whom i adore and practically worship.  I truly visualized it in my dream last night.  I knew exactly how I would feel and how awkward I would be and how I would waste the first few minutes in fear and babbling before I could relax.  And sometimes, we do not get that extra time to really get to know a person.  In my dream, Kiedis made himself approachable.  He spent time with me and I was able to open up and be myself finally and then leave feeling that I had turned an Idol into a friend and peer.  The thing that stood out most was my ability (while asleep and dreaming) to change my course of action.  In my dream, I made choices...to back off...to speak up...to stay in the room talking.  I lead my dream where I wanted it to go.  I created it.  I did not just experience it, I created it.

I think that is how it should be...in every relationship.  It is important to know we are all here under the same universal energy with the same aptitude for greatness as we admire in those we deem to be heroes.  I will always consider Anthony Kiedis a hero in my life, because I have learned so much from his life because I cared to watch and look and observe it and learn.  What I really want in life is to be watched and observed and learned-from and admired.  I also want to be adored.  Any takers?  Anyone want to adore me?...because you could be the key to giving me my wings. 

I want to be High-Flying Adored.  But not alone.
