Dream Interpretation / Re: Dream about a former friend

« on: February 27, 2012, 10:06:10 AM »

TheWidow – I feel from what you say that it has left an unanswered question in you why the person walked out of the friendship. And I think that this dream is either an intuitive insight into the woman in your dream, or else it is a way to ease the feelings you have. But my best feeling is that it is an intuition.

If there is any way in which you could test it would  then strengthen your feelings about yourself. As the dream shows the woman coming into the room it suggests she wants to be able to express her feelings.

In fact the whole dream is a remarkable scene – the conference room suggesting an easy place to share your views; the door that closed behind you and you made an effort to open it; and the woman who opened the door and walked back into your life. Amazing!

Caputin – The flying white horse – what a wonder to see and dream of.

I see the flying horse is a sort of melodrama that leads on to a sense of ripping apart clothes or conventions, a sort of pain that leads to transcendence. It is a felt pain that leads to transcendence. This is represented by the horse taking flight. It is Pegasus, the winged horse. It can take flight from the foot of the hill. It can take flight from the most blatant sexual love and passion. In fact out of that passion, out of that connection and the pain of it, it takes flight.

Or in other language - it symbolises the sexual or instinctive drives that have not been repressed, but allowed, in conjunction with consciousness and reason, to develop the higher possibilities latent in us. Put in plain language this suggests that the sexual drive rises like a wave that carries our conscious desires with it. This energy wave rises, but in fulfilling itself in genital sex the wave falls again, self-awareness with it. However, if the energy is released, and yet not allowed to spill out in the full sexual release, the energy keeps on rising – flying in fact – lifting awareness with it, until it becomes a vast awareness of life and death.

This dream seems to show how being able to meet the power of your animal self you have taken an enormous step forwards, a step you may not yet be aware of. It obviously links with natural sex as shown by the horses mating.

Yes, it is real, but not at a physical level. It is real in your inner world. And dreams do not reflect our outer life like replay, but they do take images from the outer world to express our inner world adventures. So it doesn’t matter whether you saw Greek Myths. The myths are usually all about the inner world we face.

Thank you for explaining.

Loss is a very strange thing. When we lose someone through loss it seems as if we are alone. But at another level we are never alone. It is something we struggle with.

Hi Midlander - Thinking about your reply, I realise that saying 'life without a body' needs to be understood from several viewpoints. This was bright home to me on the 20th by a dream I had, which follows.


The dream was lucid. The quality of the dream changed and I felt lost. This was because I had been following Hyone and had no sense of where to go back to, as if I didn’t have anywhere to live or had no home. I stayed in that state for quite a time, and then went into a meditative condition. As I had nowhere to go and nothing to do I sat and felt I should do nothing. So sat and tried to drop all thoughts. It developed into a struggle to drop the idea of myself as a body. What I mean is that we are so thoroughly locked into seeing our own self image in the image of having a body. It was really hard to get rid of the feeling of the body as me. But eventually I managed it. I realised as this was happening that this only applied to my inner life, and that the body had its own needs.

So it is not simply the body, but out self image of being the same shape, gender and person we were. I had an experience of this once. Here is a piece quoted from The House of the Ancestors. It was a conversation I had with a dead friend.

"This communication was unlike any other I had experienced with Shaun previously.  I started by asking my usual question as to what he was meeting now in his after death life.  He told me that the process of losing himself had continued and he was now on a boundary, which if he passed over, he would no longer be the Shaun I had known.

I was trying to understand this and asking questions when suddenly Shaun was a woman, and engulfed me in wonderful female love.  This was so unexpected and beautiful I wept.  To be loved in that way by somebody I had known as a very masculine male was an extraordinary experience and very moving.

Gradually I recovered from the surprise and the feelings, and saw that Shaun was now male and female at the same time.  He had not switched to becoming a female, but had enlarged to being both male and female.  The losing of himself as he had been, and the adding of things that he could not experience while in the body, had led him to become this fuller very loving being.  Now, he/she was a whole person.

As I experience this I wondered what the border was that he/she was now ready to cross, so asked him/her if she/he knew what was over the other side.  She/he replied that it was very simple.  “It is a life without boundaries.”

Although those were the only words spoken, I received a flow of impressions or insights helping me to grasp something of a dimension of experience.  And as this was happening Shaun said something in a manner typical of him in life.  “And you, you bugger, have already been there before me.”

I could sense the smile and love in this, and understood what was implied and stated in the words.  Shaun was saying that during his life, and even since his death, I had been like a guide to him, making it easier for him to find his way in life and death.  He was also directly referring to a dream I had experienced".

Caputin – There is nothing to fear in your dreams – except if you are afraid of yourself. If you take time to think, do you believe that while you are alone in sleep, with nothing else but your dreams, that there could be actual lions there with you. Dreams are feelings and thoughts clothed in the images of our dream. They are images given life by the process of Life within us.

Unfortunately we are never taught that the world of dreams and the world of the body are totally different. But we are so programmed to believe in our physical world we take all the fears and feeling into our dreams – and of course run from monsters and are terrified of falling or being killed. Crazy!!

Okay, I have been crazy with fear too, but one can learn as your dream suggests, to live in your dreams with confidence. If you manage that it will change your waking experience too.

Your dream is very beautiful, because you are learning that in dreams all animals are tame, and are much bigger, more colourful and play a bigger part in your waking life. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-dictionary/animal/

And while some people argue there is no meaning in our dreams, I could argue that there is no meaning in your blood or urine. But of course from your blood and urine a great deal of information can be gained.

Thank you Mesh for sharing that with us.

It is interesting that it was your  left hand that was golden and glowing, because the left in general depicts the usually unconscious or wonderful and wide inner world of experience – an inner world in which we might find incredible meaning and abilities.

I think it is well worth while if you use the ability of that left hand. I am not sure how, but you could touch people who are ill with our left hand. At least experiment.

Also see Jill Bolte Taylors extraordinary experience when her usual 'right handed' personality was knocked out. http://www.ted.com/talks/jill_bolte_taylor_s_powerful_stroke_of_insight.html

Mesh – Have you been meditating a lot recently, or doing something that uplifted your feelings? Because the light shining out coloured light suggests that you have been feeling or thinking something that is shining out of you.

And considering that ever part of a dream is created out of what I call your ‘mindstuff’ the lights are shining from you and focussed on you too.

Light is a very wonderful image. It suggests being able to see and understand your surroundings. And the colours are probably to do with the power of growth and wisdom from a wider view. So ask yourself what uplifted you to cause you to shine like that?

Melinda - Thank you for replying so fully - I mean it was lovely to read.

This is just a thought that occurred to me reading what you said; I wonder if it would shift the feelings of loss if you tried sitting for a few minutes each say for a week  remembering the good feeling with them. And if you can do that then see it like a seed of love planted deep in you that will grow and flower. so instead of looking back, look forward to that flowering.

Just a thought.

Hi Midlander – I think this dream, to be understood properly, needs a bit of explanation. I have come across a few like this recently and it helps to understand how dreams form their imagery. So it can help if you realise that just as your eyes do not directly allow you to see, but nerve impulses are sent to the brain where they are translated into living pictures, so also thoughts are also translated into images as in our dreams. Nothing we sense in the world is directly known, but it is all impressions that are translated into a sense of smell, sight, hearing, etc. So the eye receives reflected light from an object, which is translated into nervous impulses, which is then received by the brain which translates what are formless nerve impulses into what we feel we see. So with dreams of the dead we are picking their thoughts and these use our own imagery in an attempt to give us an idea of the communication.

And of course dreams reflect our beliefs and convictions in such imagery. So I see your dream as a mixture of what you believe or are convinced about, and what may be an actual communication with him, in its imagery.

So my feelings about it are that the car crash was his sense of his death. And it wasn’t a ‘death’ but a loss of his body, which for someone who identified with his body, must have been a bad shock. As I say in the section (http://dreamhawk.com/interesting-people/rudolph-steiners-philosophy-of-life-and-death/) “However, we have built into our soul nature, many longings and desires that can only be fulfilled through the body, which are out of harmony with the spirit. There is thus experienced a period of burning desires; as these longings consume themselves in their own fire;” which might explain his burnign episode; especially if we take in the translation of imager mentioned above.

Another interesting thing is his statement that he had been in hospital and had returned only now to let people know he was still alive. Many people cannot relate to a world without a physical body, and so because of the burning, which he probably experienced in what is his dream world, felt he had only just come out of it. You could perhaps explain to him and say he doesn't need a prosthetic hand, as his is still there.

The left hand is often the support for the action of the right hand – so its loss could mean his loss of body. Literally it was no longer his body. I am not sure what the other woman represents, but it could be an aspect of you that was not acknowledged – just a guess.

The lovely and loving lizard is almost certainly a deeply instinctive part of your nature.
See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/brain-levels-and-dreams/#reptilebrain As such it underlies all of your conscious actions and it is a very necessary part of your life. Without it we would not exist.

Dream Interpretation / Re: Stunted man carrying a body

« on: February 19, 2012, 02:05:04 PM »

When I heard this dream I felt enormous emotional response. It is the story of a woman who has carried a burden that has, until the dream, brought her to her knees over and over again. Not only that she felt she had to be a man to bear such a burden.

But the dream shows her taking up that burden herself, and that was because she had grown enough strength to take the responsibility for it. And it looks as if it had taken her a long time to gain that strength. Dreams have shown me again and again that such heavy burdens or trials that we face are in fact a gift, and a gift that gives us the opportunity to gain the ability to overcome whatever had pushed us low.

As the woman says, she now has the strength to not only carry the heavy load, but to run with it to the goal.

And the goal is a new life, forged out of all the lessons she has learned in a long life.

What a spirit she has.

Dream Interpretation / Stunted man carrying a body

« on: February 19, 2012, 01:49:03 PM »

This is a woman's dream told me over the telephone that I found so interested I posted it here.

In this dream I was with a male figure who seemed of stunted growth and was quite short.  He was bent beneath the heavy burden of a huge weight of a huge burden he carried on his back which caused him to keep falling on the ground at every short distance. His purpose was to reach a certain destination but his burden harried him all the way. His destination seemed to be a building on the distant horizon.

                        I was the observer, but also the participant.  He eventually fell to the ground unable to rise, he asked me to remove the body from his back - the burden he had been carrying; to pick it up and carry it, to run with it.  As I lifted the body from his back he got up and ran toward his destination. I also ran, carrying the body, toward the same destination.
