Anna The Dreamer – Hashish is usually a way to release unconscious content, but it depends what you associate with it.  You have listed some of the associations, but to get to the right one you might use http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/association-of-ideas-with-dreams/#Working – or - http://dreamhawk.com/dream-dictionary/practical-techniques-for-understanding-your-dreams/

Pretending to be ill suggests that you are fooling yourself about your condition. Sometimes we use this to have an excuse to not live our best.

As far as the footprints I can only assume this is either imprints left by parents or ones culture as happens unconsciously in us, or else it could be saying you are simply following what others have done and maybe need to find a new way.

Aristocrates – It seems the strange man is a part of you that enables you – through the vial of liquid – to become disoriented. That is a technique used by many paths to your core or unconscious. Persian mystics spun around until they were dizzy and disoriented; some people use eye movements quickly to lose there focus and release unconscious content; others use fast breathing as in holotropic workshops to do the same thing.

This enables you to have a view of your inner ex as in a psychiatrist’s influence – in company you are not used to. What did you feel about seeing her/you in that psychiatric setting?

Tony

I Teach Peace – You start off in test situation, place you can experiment in. Dreams are a safe place to try such experiments.

But then you become aware of a scientist who in some way has become infected with the dangerous and being ruled by impulse or impulsive difficult to control urges.

So I wonder whether you have been influence by negative scientific views that see us as little more than experimental monkeys without any spiritual self?

The ‘dead’ monkey was far from dead – something still active unconsciously?

You try to run away, but its influence is global, so you care for the child you and act with quietness not thinking about the danger.

In some way that led to the power working in your unconscious – the night – and lifting the feelings nearer consciousness. Consciousness transforms.

Only you can say what it was that was transformed and healed.

Anna The Dreamer - The thing that I found about dreams are they are all seeds; they are images of seeds that have been planted in a deep part of you, and time will make them blossom. So please read http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/what-we-need-to-remember-about-us/#Seed - it is very short.

DayDreamer – The key left inside is interesting. And that you needed someone other than your partner to open it up for you. The key can link with sexuality as in the following example.

I went to an office in Tottenham Court Road. Then I woke up in bed in the office. A woman was in bed on my left. I was about to get up, and she said for me to touch her breast before I got out of bed. I did so and drew near to her, but thought it would all end in sexual intercourse, and I didn’t want this to happen. Next thing, I was in Woburn Walk, trying to unlock the front door, but I did not have the right key. In fact the keys were for a different house entirely. I was in a dazed condition and someone else opened the door for me.

He had the keys for a different house entirely. Maybe it is a hint?

If you have shut the doors for someone to get into you it might be worth exploring a way through. Try using http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/secrets-power-dreaming/

I think it is not a premonition so much a mirror of you inner life situation and where you are taking it unconsciously.

Imagination is a wonderful tool.

Anna the Dreamer – Thank you so much for doing the background study.

This is a very important dream and can almost be taken literally. I have had many such dreams that didn’t make much sense at the time, but looking back I can see they were pointing the way ahead for me.

Your young black boy is an expression of your natural, unspoilt and intuitive sense. It arises from all that you have not known about yourself, your potential that wants to be expressed. That’s why he is a teacher.

The website is probably saying that you need to and in fact will reach a bigger audience, and it is time for you to aim for it. You are needed.

I feel it doesn’t matter what you do, whether writing or painting, or any other expression. It is important for you to let it flow – and it will be like a river that gets deeper.

Cindy – I believe a mistake many people make in understanding their dreams is that they believe dreams are about outer life; or at least work in the same way as outer life. See http://dreamhawk.com/inner-life/inner-world/

If you have read that, you will begin to realise that the crows are living parts of you, and are making their home in the protective layer of your mind. The crows would probably have been an early warning system of anything disturbing your life – if you hadn’t poked at them. Of course they are trying to bite you – in the same way bees that are quietly going about making honey would sting you if you poked them.

Be gentle with your inner world and it will reward you.

Tony

Anna the Dreamer – I also use the fork in my right hand even though I am right handed. It is a habit many people now have, and I think it was started in America as a relaxed way of eating if they do not need to use the knife much.

What is stopping your husband from asking your son what help he needs?

It is possible neither he nor your husband understand the levels of the experience of death. So please read Steiner Life after death.

That is a bit technical but it might be helpful.

For more help it is not good to give such a brief description without any details of his death.

Tony

Au - I think it simply means that you wanted to be known and liked. Also the happiness comes from feeling that someone cares for you.

I don’t think he actually made contact with you – although it is a very tempting thought. It is called compensation. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/compensation-theory-of-dreaming/

Tony

Aristocrates – Of course you are pulled about by invisible – to you forces and of course like any dream action we tend to put images on it.

So please read http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/what-we-need-to-remember-about-us/#Paralyzed and what follows it. It takes to long to say it all again.

Horizon – Well it seems as if your dream is telling you not to be so sneaky. You have obviously felt guilty about something, about taking something that you felt belonged to another person. It could be a love or more likely something or someone you fancied.

But the silly thing is – and this is not an attempt to justify stealing – that all the time we take things from people. We take attitudes and ideas from parent; we take all of the language from countless others and use it like we invented it. We assume likes and dislikes from others and believe it is all ours. Also we often take Life for granted as if we own it or it is all an accident of chemicals.

I quote from Eye of Dreams: “The perception that was taking place was not like my normal thinking. It comprehensively gathered memories and put them together in a way that made patterns and themes stand out. So as the process of insight was taking place I saw just how the urge to keep my head down, not stand out in the crowd, not get involved with people, had influenced my actions. For a start I had never voted in my life. This was because I could never identify with groups pushing for power. I had avoided everyday social activity, although relationships with individuals were not threatening.

Now I started seeing how this attitude had passed to me so strongly. My thought, as I witnessed the flow of memories, was that perhaps such information was genetic, because my father had never talked to me much at all. He had certainly never urged me to keep out of the limelight – to keep my head down, and until now I hadn’t been aware that he had been doing it himself, so it wasn’t simply conscious emulation. I can only say that I ‘saw’ how it had happened. What I mean is that through the still flowing memory and feelings it was as if I could actually look into the heart of things and see how they worked. The insight I achieved was that we as humans, like other mammals, in our earliest years particularly, still learn like most mammals do, and that is not verbal at all. A massive amount of information is absorbed from our parents without any effort or awareness.”

BeachGirl – Thank you for sending such an interesting dream.

The dream starts where you are in a healing environment, dealing with mental disturbances – usually it is about your own difficulties. But it is saying that it is time to go now because you have done the inner work that allows you to take more steps in your development. See http://dreamhawk.com/inner-life/inner-world/

The confusion you felt around the truck is the many different opinions and viewpoint you are confronted by. But you deal with those through your own qualities. 

The windshield suggests that you are willing to meet life without all the protective manoeuvres we use to feel safe and protected. So another change that has gone on in you which may be something you learned from relationship with your boyfriend.

The green light is a real GO signal to you. It is saying that you can now explore so much more of what you are. This is inline with what is happening to many people now. It is a season, a period where many people can meet themselves instead of being controlled by old views of what we are and how to live. See http://dreamhawk.com/approaches-to-being/the-quickening/

The falling car is a sure sign that you are now exploring levels of yourself that frightened you in the past. In fact as you fell into this new level of experience you felt fear. Then the little girl is your own innocent self greeting you, for you are now in your inner world, the world people call death when they first enter it. We enter it every day when we ‘fall’ asleep. But being unconscious we feel nothing; it is like being anesthetised, but you have woken up. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/levels-of-awareness-in-waking-and-dreaming/ 

I do not see this as predictive of a future accident, but rather a way of showing you death and its experience. But this is just a first step. “I will no longer be able to communicate but I have time now to do so......I woke up and felt like I was in a different world.”

That is not entirely true, but is as much as you can understand at the moment.

You are growing in awareness.

Tony

BeachGirl – I always get a kick out of hearing from people who write to the site as you have done. So hello back to you.

And I hope you enjoy and get something from the journey here.
