Dream Interpretation / Re: Sitting by an empty grave

« on: March 28, 2012, 08:23:57 AM »

Hi - It is a difficult one to decide whether it is goodbye or an encouragement - difficult being outside your dream. It is usually clearer when you get into it yourself - imagine yourself in the grave you were sitting next to and explore any feelings an images that occur.

I did realise that the person was still alive. But the dream suggested an end of some sort.

An interesting point is that his relative - in your dream of course - are getting ready to bury him.

Midlander – The first impression I get is that he is dead but not buried – the grave is empty.

The figure 34 is a strange one symbolically as it has links with many points of view. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-dictionary/thirty-four/

But I like the meaning given in the I Ching for Hexagram 34 which starts off -

“When many wide connections exist with great inner ability and power there arises extraordinary brilliance. This quality may awe those less gifted or having fewer connections. Its force shakes the world and brings changes.
Understanding its workings can lead to deep insight into the nature of things. Certainly persistence in this direction will bring great reward.”

But I had an insight into your situation while exploring a dream about my dead father. I managed to open up and let the thing flow from within. I saw that anyone we deeply connect with, even if they have died, yet lives on inside us. And unless we deal with them as a living but maybe troubling part of us we will find no peace.

The thing that give peace is to image the person we are feeling alive inside us, open to them as fully as we can, and see and feel all the hurt and distress. That is seeing them as something that will continue to be a sore part. The next thing it to see what parts of them you can add to your store of things you can build into yourself.

This is why it says that you should honour your father and mother. It say this because they are so much a part of you, as this man is in you, that to not sort it out you will be left crippled. So it isn’t accepting their weakness but almost like digesting it so what is healthy can be built into you, and what is not can be passed out.

So do not weep beside an empty grave.

General Discussion / Re: Big Ship/Snake

« on: March 26, 2012, 01:11:28 PM »

JennypMeier – Your dream starts with a good feeling or pleasure, but the pleasure acts as a form of excitation that arouses the snake.

The snake is an expression of the life energy that uncoils up your spine, but in many people doesn’t get any further than the genitals and the emotions. As such it can, like electricity, express in many ways – light, heat, movement, sounds and TV pictures and drama. In our body it can express as movement, sex/procreation, emotions, speech and self expression, thinking and at the top higher awareness and entrance into the unconscious. But the fear of the snake comes from the way we express this divine energy. For instance a woman dreamt that a snake slithered up her bed and bit her on the breast. When we explored the dream she realised that she had been feeling bitter about her husband, and those bitter feelings were what the snake injected her with – her own poisonous emotions.

You could have injected yourself with fear and anxiety – but you didn’t. But there is a warning in your dream to not be so fearful and anxious as these can poison your system.

The ship is about relation-ships that you re involved in that are a part of your life. The captain is a process in you that actually guides you through your man life experiences. Again it involves you in anxiety – probably because you would like to be more in control of your life. But we have to realise that we are not in control, and that Life itself if we learn to be a partner can lead us well. After all, what are you in control of, only a tine part of you – not your breathing, not digestion, not your heat beat, not all the functions of life in you. So relax a little bit more, because your dream says that you are doing okay. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/archetype-of-trickster-clown-and-the-fool/

Then the aurora borealis – the emergence of the snake and the joker boat captain have led you to a very new experience – a wonder – that you still react to with some fear. Yet it shows you are on the verge of a revelation – a revealing of things not previously seen or known.

In essence the aurora is a meeting between your human awareness and a cosmic influence, a widening of awareness.

Healing Dreams / A soul who wanted be born but could not because of abortion.

« on: March 26, 2012, 01:09:45 PM »

I had a dream that I was in a park and I saw a little girl she was about the age of 3 ish and her name was Julie. Julie was a little angry girl with pigtails. So I held her tight and was mothering this little girl and asked her what’s wrong she didn’t respond. So I made a pinky promise that her secret would be safe with me so she told me she wants to be born. And 3 in half years ago I terminated a pregnancy I don’t know what this means. Lizette

Lizette – To help understand what your dream is about I want to quote a piece in my book Mind and Movement. It is about a woman I worked with who was sent to me by her doctor because she felt depressed.

“The movements – which were part of her therapy – were much stronger this time and her whole body became involved. Her knees drew up and her abdominal area domed. She made very little sound – some people are extremely vocal – but she was intensely absorbed in the movements for nearly an hour before they stopped and she lay peacefully. She then sat up and told me she had experienced something extraordinary. She said that four years earlier she had been divorced and went to live in Spain with her children. While there she had an affair with a Spaniard and became pregnant. Because she already had children and was not wanting to stay with the man, she had an abortion. During her body movements it had seemed to her as if the life in her had said the abortion had hurt it. It then led her through the spontaneous movements to complete the process of birth of that baby, and in that way she now felt whole. The process of birth which had been cut off had been able to complete itself.”

It seems to me the soul still wants to be born. The whole thing shows how sex should not be done without care. It is an enormous thing that involves us in worlds that are usually invisible to us.

I think you should speak to that little unborn girl and ask her is there no other way? Could she find another woman to bear her and give birth to her? Imagine yourself in the dream, while awake and talk to her. Tell her you are sorry you put her in such anger with you, and ask her to help you understand the situation.

Dream Interpretation / Re: River, Farmer, Eye of Light In Sky, Number 33 & Peace Symbol

« on: March 26, 2012, 11:19:17 AM »

Lenore – What a dream! Where can I start? It is a big dream and needs many notes to really commmunicate.

The countryside you started with shows you in a relaxed state of mind – dream images are usually about states of our mind and body. It shows you open to receive new impressions and therefore learn something. In a way it is also a portal which allows you to see, know or understand things previously not seen. But of course it is still in the half way house of dreams, and so in symbols. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/questions/#SymbolDream

Then the fish – which was a living thing until you pulled it out of the flowing stream of life. You see we are all rivers. The water, food and air we take in passed through you in the stream of life. See http://dreamhawk.com/poems/earth-wind-and-river/

The living thing became an old shoe because it was no longer the living flow inside you –it was an old worn out attitudes that you had adopted years ago and was no longer of any use to you. And the poor cat too. You felt at that time of your life that you were bitter and so turned on your vulnerable instinctive animal nature, as I myself did. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/yoga-and-dreams/#Hare Of course when you do that you are only hurting yourself.

But such actions, because you were sorry for the pain and injury you had caused, you were shown a different way, the path to initiation – the Farmer – the part of you acquainted with nature and the ways of life and growth. And of course he was an expression of that wider awareness we all have if we open to it. See http://dreamhawk.com/inner-life/the-unconscious-2/

He was fully alive yet was also a man acquainted with sorrows – for knowing the enormity of life – “I wept for the pain of people meeting the anxiety of life. I felt the blind push of life taking everything on. I cried for all the sensitive living creatures men use in experiments. Yet my vision was of the whole, and my tears were not for a particular animal, but for the pain life itself bears as it tries to understand itself.”

The sun is setting on one phase of your life and a new one is nearly beginning. You have to walk through the pitch black to be in the presence of the Great Mother. And then you were initiated into reality – which in the end is both the divine and the ordinary everyday life that everything is if only we could see it. And if you want to see it more fully I suggest you try using http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/acting-on-your-dream/

Quite journey you are on – and may IT always be with you.

As far as the alien, it is a part of you that you had not got enough growth to recognise; alien because we fail to incorporate it in our life and so it feels alien to us. Use the above link to find it for yourself.

Well Loved Dakota – You keep on having very clear and ordered dreams. But there is too much for me to comment on.

I feel the main thing is that you realise that you are an Elder, and a bridge between the old ways and the new. The old ways were always couched in symbols as in dreams. The new ways I hope will be taken out of symbols into clear language understandable by today’s people.

Questions about dreams / Re: what do they mean?

« on: March 23, 2012, 08:52:10 AM »

Rob – The only way to really know your dream meaning is to explore it yourself, but that takes a little practice. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/acting-on-your-dream/

So sometimes when we are told we are to die it can be a true prediction, but it is only meaningful in context with the rest of the dream. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/context/

But dreams are about every aspects of human life and thought, but they can be kept to a very small level by the mind of the dreamer. I had a dreamer send me a whole batch of their dreams, and not once did they deal with feelings and emotions. Also they didn’t ever deal with anything except a very everyday, intellectual circle.

But if you are willing to explore who and what you are and not keep in a very mundane frame of mind, you will see wonders.

InfiniteVision – I know you. So I will not go into saying hello all over again. 

There is so much on this site about Lucid Dreaming, but for me the most available is the waking lucid dream. Not only does this allow exactly what it says, but it also opens the possibility of exploring any question is a much more available way. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/the-waking-lucid-dream/

The arm movements are what Jung said was a way to break through the barrier that keeps us from exploring the unconscious – only with this method it takes it a step further. So please also see http://dreamhawk.com/approaches-to-being/the-lifestream/

Chieko -I have kept a dream journal since 1962. It is now 1,239,419 word in length.

It is a wonderful thing to have for several reasons. The first is that if I write any interpretations in I have a history of my growth, and also many of the interpretations are telling me my future - not because they are prophetic but because my dream sees the direction I am taking and shrewdly say what it sees.

By recording everything you can watch to do see if things are overcome, as dreams deal with your most inner world of feelings.

Also if I explore my dreams then I solve many of the problems that confront me - also they answer the questions I struggle with. And they do it is a way that we can experience. But that does not come through thinking about your dreams, but but diving under the surface using http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/acting-on-your-dream/

Dream Interpretation / Re: Dream of Ex-Girlfriend's Death

« on: March 22, 2012, 02:10:46 PM »

Aristocrates – That sounds like a real step forward.

Something that came to me strongly recently while I explored my own dream was about relationships. What I wrote wasn’t directly for you, but I think it applies.

This is necessary because any relationship which you have been deeply involved in has not left you. You cannot escape it inside you. What you can do is to fully take her into you and feel the pain but realise it is now all inside you, and if you hold it out to the best in you it will gradually become a new and good part of you.

I see it as very similar to near death experiences, where a person lives there life and gradually only the best is left – and the best in them will be an asset that enlarges you as a person. This is why it says that you should honour your father and mother. It say this because they are so much a part of you, as this woman is, that if you do not sort it out until you find the best in them you will be left crippled. So it isn’t accepting their weakness but almost like digesting it, so what is healthy can be built into you, and what is not can be passed out.

I also wrote about digestion to today that links with it - When we digest, whether it is an idea, something we have read or learned, it has to be first surrendered to the life process. We can see this in our body – it is first chewed and swallowed, then broken down into parts and the useful stuff, the building stuff, can be taken into us and the rest is passed out. The important thing is that even if it is dead or living food, it is transformed into our own living being. If it has not been transformed it is like something dead inside us.
We transform it by giving it to the fire within us that burns as our life process. See http://dreamhawk.com/approaches-to-being/lifes-little-secrets/

Dream Interpretation / Re: Can you please help me out with this!

« on: March 22, 2012, 01:51:55 PM »

Lonely Warrior – Where did you read that food dreams relate to spirituality or stressful living?

Meaning derives from context, and context rests on personal associations. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/context/

In the dream dictionary, if you read the introduction and do not simply look up the dictionary entry, you will see that contest and associations are of prime importance. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/association-of-ideas-with-dreams/

But your dreams about food are in context with India and family. Also something that is forgotten in the factor is digestion. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-dictionary/digest/

So it seems your dream process, which is pretty wise, is encouraging you to eat and digest the food of India – in other words their philosophy. That can be hard going, but a way to do it – as your dishes are those produced for a Western person – is probably the book 14 Lessons in Yoga Philosophy by Yogi Ramacharaka. I feel it is something everyone should be exposed to.

I think simply served on a banana leaf sounds excellent.
