Dream gift - Atanasia

I walked into a small white room to receive a Reiki treatment. I lay down on the bed.

A lady came in, she was slim, middle aged and wearing glasses and held a book. She sat next to me and began to read from the book.

She said something along the lines of

' Atanasia, we are, we are from...'

I felt absolutely euphoric, I said - "I have no family, I am from no country, I am just I!"

I was determined that I had to remember this word and so spelled it out in the dream several times out loud.

She then continued,

"You must allow the mind to walk alongside you but not control you"

I awoke and googled the word, to discover that it is an old Greek work translating to

'deathlessness, immortality'.

I also realised then that the tiger from my other dreams was my conscious mind, my ego. 

As in the teachings of Eckhart Tolle amongst others, the mind is only a part of your physical being but will control your all if left to its own devices. However your higher consciousness is the truly powerful part. 

I had begun to separate the mind from the self.
