The New DreamHawk Site
Here at last is the new and redesigned website I have been promising my avid readers for some years.
It has taken a lot of hard work with a team of us behind the scenes. The new site is bringing dream interpretation and the many features it holds right up to date. You will be able to search for any entry and quickly find it. Such a search will also bring up other related entries. So if your search is for dog, it will also display entries for coyote, animal and jackal, that will add to the information presented.
New Features
You will be able to post comments now and develop contact with other dreamers.
Of course this is a brand new site, so please bear with us when old links are missing, and there may be typo errors. We are working hard to get it all done.
Something that was missing from the old site were pages such as those listing poems and features. These are still available. For instance the poems page had several sections – Poems From the Lodge; The Many Faces of Love; Life’s Sunshine and Rain; My Journey; People: and Dream Landscapes – and if you type those titles into the search box, click, and there they all are. And the same applies to all the other sections. So if you are looking for all the chapters of a book, such as SuperMinds; again type it in and click, and there they are.
Future Change
|
Something else that is coming, but will take time to complete, is a completely new and massively enlarged dream dictionary. This will be done a little at time, so the first entries will appear fairly soon. The new dictionary will have a simple statement of the main meanings of the dream image, followed by a deeper description. Then questions about the dream image will follow that if answered will lead you to your own understanding. |

Meanwhile, thanks to those of you who have been loyal supporters of the site, and welcome to those who are new. Enjoy exploring the wonders of dreams.

dreams of ex husband, divorced 15 years ago, who I still had feelings for. He has since died. At least once a month I’ll have dreams.
Irma – Of course you dream of him often. But do not mix the dream image of him with him.
When we love someone and live with them we take in so much life experience, and that life experience is often shown as him in our dreams. We dream of that past love because it is not the past but our present experience that still goes on living and evolving in us.
When someone dies we carry within us all the memories, hopes, regrets and wants and therefore dream of them.

Example 8 Healing of Pain
When the certainty arose that no matter what I did, where I was, what people did for me, the pain would go on, the certainty was a healing crisis. I had spent a day at work going through the whirlpool of painful feelings and thoughts over and over again. It was a certainty that was the result of years of intense therapy that still left so much pain. Of course I had made changes, but none that took away the misery I was suffering. I had realised that it wasn’t buried trauma that had caused my incredible hurt, it was habits that I had picked up from the culture I was raised in. Habits that meant you were a failure if you left your family to live with another woman; habits that meant you were a failure if you couldn’t even love the woman you had chosen; habits that meant you couldn’t fit into ‘normal’ society; habits that left me eaten up with guilt.
When I arrived home H was out. Up rose the loneliness and pain. The circle started again – If I was with my family this pain wouldn’t arise. But if I was with my family I would want to be with H. Memories of past pain with my family arose. Wherever and whenever I was there was pain. For all my life I had been looking for a way to heal it, escape it, cover it up, work it out, run away from it – no escape.
I stood looking out of the window in the end bedroom, not knowing what to do, where to go, how, what, when, where?
H arrived home. I could feel my pain cutting me off from any flow to her. She came into the room. I could see on her face the effect of weeks of living with my uncertainty, my misery and her own. Her whole body sagged as she saw me still in a desperate state of mind. I was already in the groove to spread yet more gloom. To make her feel as fearful of being in her own home as I had grown to be because of the misery it caused me. With an effort I acted out as much warmth of meeting as I could. I walked up to her smiling and kissed her and hugged her. I backed this up by the certainty that there was no way out. I saw her whole body and face change as she relaxed. I could see her drop the anxiety of being hit yet again by my remarks my feelings my condition. It worked. From that day on I have known more peace than I have in the last two years. I have to act out the good feelings but it is working. If it goes on – it will be more peacefulness than ever before in my life. And it is possible for it to go on because it does not depend on outward things, situations and people for its existence. It depends on the certainty that there is nowhere to go – there are no answers to my problems – my pain cannot be healed – there is nothing people can do for me. That pain was an awful habit I had got into, I was learning to built new habits. I was learning how to build a new life.
I realised from all this that there was no cure for the pain I had felt as it was habits I had inherited or developed, and the only way was to develop new habits. Hard but it has worked.
