There is so much I want to say about Sweetening the Dream but I will start with this:

A bad dream is actually a really good dream waiting to be revealed.
The dream is potentially so good, that it first had to be hidden in a dark cloak.

There is a repeating theme in the Torah that blessings can appear first as curses.
The greater the curse, the greater the potential blessing.

With enough effort, each of us can turn curses into blessings.
Then its not just a blessing that G-d gives us, but rather a blessing that we have realized for ourselves.

P.S. Our Dream is right here.
