A Life Changing Transformation

By Sophia Demas, M.Ed.

I have experienced many miracles in my life (getting exactly what you need at just the right time), which I have chronicled in my first book, The Divine Language of Coincidence—How Miracles Transformed My Life After I Began Paying Attention. They have all been transformative but If I had to pick one it would have to be my first "miracle" at 19. It involved a man I had just met and a symbol-studded dream. It resulted in a metamorphosis that not only changed my perception, turning me into a different person, but it opened me up to recognizing the nudges from the Universe.

I had been struggling with existential angst on two issues I felt to be unsolvable—one, I needed the approval of others and if someone scorned me I would deeply internalize it and, two, I had bought into my mother's rule of no sex until marriage. At the time, marriage did not appeal to me and I didn't want to die a virgin. 

Shortly after meeting Rob, a 27-year old PHD student who I was incredibly attracted to, I had a visceral dream that is just as vivid now as it was then: 

I was on a stage inside a transparent plexiglass phone booth-type box wearing a wedding gown and veil with no groom in sight. The dimly-lit auditorium was filled with people and I was utterly grateful for their presence. A spotlight came on to my right and twelve young women entered in groups of threes wearing pink and green saris. The women curtsied and took their place diagonally. I assumed they were my bridesmaids. I recognized them to have been my “enemies” all the way back to grade school. One hissed at me. I forgave them all and was appreciative they were there. As the lights came on, the auditorium changed into a reception hall. Everyone was filing by me one-by-one in what I, again, assumed was the reception line. However, most people did not turn to look at me. Every now and then someone would turn their head and look at me expressionless. Only two people turned and smiled, my best friend and a family friend. My anxiety was mounting—was this person going to look at me, were they going to smile, or pass by looking straight ahead? At one point I looked down. I was wearing the same wedding dress but I was lying in a casket. These people were here to pay their last respects!

I woke up in a cold sweat thinking the dream was foreshadowing my imminent death. Without a moment’s hesitation I threw on some clothes and walked to Rob’s apartment at 1:30 in the morning. I felt as if I was being directed to do so. The lights were on. He welcomed me, and asked me to tell him my dream. He listened attentively, never taking his eyes off of me. When I finished, he leaned forward and said, “Your dream has nothing to do with physical death. It is directing you to let things that no longer serve you die.” 

He then proceeded to read poetry he had written about me and my sexual dilemma. How could this man know exactly what I was feeling?

It was the following week when, needless to say, I lost my virginity to Rob and learned what full-on womanhood was all about. From then on, I have called my own shots without needing the approval of anyone. Both issues solved in a snap!

Rob was writing his thesis on his theory of the universe and I was a party girl and could discuss existential matters to a point. The relationship evaporated after a couple of months, but it remained one of the most significant ones I’ve had. The synchronicities were not lost on me. Without a trace of doubt Divine Intelligence had solved my issues by me having a dream right after meeting a man whose interpretation of the dream would transform me.
