Releasing the Old

I had a terrible dream last night about drug abuse and it's accompanying negative feelings and emotions. So I pray to the Angel of Death to 'eat' that past as described by Don Miguel Ruiz in the book "Beyond Fear". I also understand that dreams like that one are a release from the past so I ask that it be taken, that I release it and move forward.I am thankful for this place of Higher Learning and send Blessings to Everyone.  G.
