Allegory
Introduction
I’ve been through the dirt, the mud and the trash
and I’ve come out clean each time. The hardest
part about each experience was facing the reality
of who threw dirt on my name, who muddied the
waters of my life, and who trashed me.
Isn’t it always the ones you least expect?
The beauty in each experience though are the
lessons. The wisdom gained, and the power that
comes with the wisdom. These experiences age
you well beyond numbered years, all the way up
into “old soul” status.
With that said, I’ve got this gift. The kind that
brings presents and prophesies through dreams.
This gift was given to me from the Universe for
rising above life, while manifesting my dreams
into reality. Most people don’t know this about
me. In fact, I made it my business to protect this
gift, because of its power. And I use it. Every time
my spirit flinches; every time my vibe doesn’t jive
with the energy surrounding me; in the face of my
enemies blatantly - I use my power to my
protective benefit.
No matter how deceptive the word play, or ill-

intentioned the act, I am made aware before it
happens. This story being told, didn’t develop
until exactly one year and three months prior to
the start of my new real-estate job.
It all started with two dreams... back in
November of 2016.
Chapter 1.
November 2016 – A Wiccan Died at Work...
Strange Thing Happened in My Sleep...
A Wiccan died at work. We had to pack her things
and figure out who in her family, to send her
belongings to.
Looking outside the office window, the scene
was a great sea. There were all kinds of animals
(land animals: horses, goats, cows, etc.), walking
in water. It was stormy outside; windy and
raining.
The trees looked like people. They looked like
humans bent down – hands to feet. One woman
was much taller than the rest. She was a giantess
compared to the human like trees behind her.
She was the complexion of the tree trunks, with
short wild hair, wearing white underwear. She
wore no bra. As I watched her out of this office
window, I noticed that she was speaking. “Y’all
didn’t take me serious. Didn’t respect the land
and people.”
Then, at the gesture of her hands, a tornado
was created, and an even greater storm.
I was terrified because it felt like the end of a
world was coming.
Then....

I woke up!
Right outside of that workplace, the Wiccan
rose up to become a mighty woman who brought
up mighty people through her rise. This dream is
significant because it plays out in my life in real
form, nearly 1 year later. I started my present job
in November of 2017, and this dream took place
in November of 2016. In my dream the workplace
setting was eerily similar to the layout of the
office in which I am presently employed.
The huge floor to ceiling double doors were the
first thing that resonated with me the moment I
stepped foot off the elevator. In the dream, the
Black woman who guided me through the office
on my first day of work, she reminded me of
Oprah Winfrey. Initially I thought it meant that I
would become famous through the help of Oprah
Winfrey while employed here; that is until I met
the team lead of the Servicing department which
is where I work. I realized she was who the dream
was referring to. Her presence is very strong, it
comes off as negative or ‘off’ energy, which can
be intimidating. This explains why the Oprah
theory came into play. Not saying Oprah’s energy
is off, but this person’s presence was meant to
resonate with me in the dream. What better way
to emphasize that than to incorporate a powerful
being, one whose presence in society, is mighty?

As well there was a printer and fax machine
that stood out in the dream. I remember that the
woman and I kept going back and forth to the
printer to make copies of something.
When I first started my current job, I was being
trained by the team lead on how to receive,
process and/or forward check payments. These
could be mortgage payments from the borrower,
or funding checks from the title company. We are
required to make copies of each check that we
receive and process and notate the loan file of the
who, what and why of the check received – this
explains the significance of the printer and fax
machine in the dream.
Quite a few of the dreams I’ve had since
working at this job, have manifested into reality
in some form or fashion.

Title: Allegory; Genre: Allegory; Age Range: all ages; Word Count: 802; Author Name: Jnaha. My project is a good fit because it is both relatable and taboo. People tend to dispell intuition, spirit guides and 'ghosts' as mental defects when in reality they are invaluable tools that can be used to help a person navigate through the complexities of life and societal norms. Incorporating the corporate america experience with spirituality gives this written piece a timeless educational feel that any reader can enjoy. The Hook: The trees looked like people. They looked like
humans bent down – hands to feet. One woman
was much taller than the rest. She was a giantess
compared to the human like trees behind her.
She was the complexion of the tree trunks, with
