I was standing on a platform or stage surrounded by thousands of people sitting on the grass of a large amphitheater. An Australian aborigine man was performing a ceremony. Two men who were each in turn given staffs to hold and each taking a turn to sing a pledge in their own language. Then the aborigine man says to the men, "Who is the leader?". Both men stated that I was the leader and the aborigine man gave me a staff to hold. I thought to myself that I can't sing but when I opened my mouth the most beautiful song came out pledging what I who do while on earth. I know I sang the whole song but can only remember the last line: I pledge to protect the earth and the animals. This was all preformed with the knowledge that I was perfect and loved by all who attended the ceremony prior to my coming to earth. My grandchildren's other grandmother was attending and also my last cat who could communicate with me. I know that sounds corny and dreamlike but this dream came at a time when I was depressed and it was not the type of dream I would have likely had. It helped me with my depression by giving me something to hang onto at a time when I needed it most.
