The Fog of Inauthenticity: A Dream About Truth, Connection, and Inner Light

The other night, I had a dream that left a deep imprint on my heart. In this dream, I saw many people—and animals—trapped in a thick, impenetrable fog. The fog was not just a visual obstruction; it silenced them. No matter how much they tried to speak or reach out, they couldn’t be seen or heard.
But something profound happened.
The moment someone spoke their truth, the fog around them vanished. A radiant light burst forth from within them, and suddenly, they became visible—seen, heard, felt. There was clarity, connection, and warmth. Yet, whenever they slipped back into inauthenticity—when they hid behind masks or denied their truth—the fog reappeared, and so did the silence and isolation.
It was surreal. Even though I couldn’t hear their words, I saw the transformation: the fog parting, light emerging, and then dimming again as they disappeared into it once more.

The Power of Witnessing
The turning point in the dream came when I stopped trying to engage and instead took the position of the witness. From that space, I saw clearly what the dream was showing me:
Being seen and heard isn’t just about communication—it’s about authenticity.
When we aren’t true to ourselves, it can feel like we’re cut off from the world—disconnected, isolated, and alone in a fog of our own making. No matter how hard we try to connect, something always seems to be missing.
But when we show up authentically—when we let go of judgment, embrace vulnerability, and speak from our inner truth—that’s when the fog lifts. That’s when we shine.
Letting Go to Let Light In
This dream reminded me that the bridge between ourselves and others is built not through perfection, but through presence. When we allow our inner light to guide us, we don’t just light our own path—we illuminate the space around us.
So if you ever feel invisible or unheard, pause and ask: Am I being true to myself right now?
Release the fear. Let go of judgment. Come back to your light.
Because:
The world doesn’t just need more voices—it needs more truth.
Be the Light
Let’s make space for authenticity, in ourselves and others. Let’s create a world where the fog of fear, shame, and disconnection can no longer thrive.
Be the light you want to see in the world. 🌍✨
Warm Regards
Deepa
