A Thought from a Dream

So, last night in my sudafed induced deep, deep, deep sleep - I had an extremely weird dream. Out of that dream, I will share one thought that I think may lead me somewhere. And this is related to a statement that I have heard from my sister's life experience.
Anyhow, I have heard that some people don't like the cross; that it is a symbol of the horrible death of Jesus, and that the more important thing is that he lives. In my dream, it was the cross and our Savior that was able to cast away the demons and free me from their curse. Until I looked at the cross, I could not be freed.
In the desert, it is when Moses lifted up the snake on the cross that the people were healed.
I believe in the New Testament, that Paul spoke of this also. Something about preaching of our Lord and Savior, and him crucified.
In Deuteronomy (the end) the people are given a choice. To follow God's Commandments and be blessed with abundant living, or to disobey and be cursed and die.
The death on the cross was I believe the "largest" curse that could be - and thus when Jesus took our sins upon himself and then died on the cross he took the curse for us so we may live.
So, why would anyone not like to think of the cross but only the new life? Isn't the new life only the blessing that is given to those who will gaze upon the cross and accept that sacrifice? I.e., is it not completely because of who Jesus is and that he died upon the cross that we may live?
