Free Will Dream Meaning

This dream may be showing you that at every crossroads you are at choice; you have the ability to choose to be in bondage or to set yourself free. There is no one else to blame for any circumstance because you are responsible for your life, for every situation and outcome. Besides being the lead actor, you are the director and writer of your life/movie. This is a sign that if you don’t like the way you life is going, you have the power to change it. [1]
