Game iconhow one approaches and plays the game of life

A 'Game' in a dream reflects how you approach and play the game of life. Every game has fundamental elements: rules that must be followed, objectives that must be achieved, challenges that must be overcome, opponents that must be respected, and a method of keeping score. Your life operates on identical principles. The universal laws are the rules. Your purpose is the objective. Your challenges are the obstacles. The aspects of yourself that create resistance are the opponents. And your growth -- your evolution of consciousness -- is the score. The type of game provides additional insight. A board game reflects a strategic, methodical approach -- each move is deliberate and calculated. A card game reflects an approach that involves dealing with what you are given and playing your hand skillfully. A video game reflects an approach that involves navigating an imagined reality through choices and actions. A sport reflects a physically engaged, competitive approach. Each type mirrors a different quality of engagement with life. Pay attention to how the game is going. Are you winning, reflecting effective engagement with your life's challenges? Are you losing, indicating that your current approach is not working? Are you cheating, suggesting that you are trying to shortcut the rules rather than play honestly? Are you not playing at all -- sitting on the sidelines, watching others live while you observe? When a game shows up in your dream, honestly assess how you are playing the game of life. Are you in the game or on the sidelines? Are you playing by the rules or trying to cheat the system? Are you playing to win -- giving your absolute best effort toward your purpose -- or are you just trying not to lose? The game of life rewards full engagement, honest play, and relentless effort. Get in the game. Play with everything you have.
