I dreamed that i made the giraffe magically appear. Then when i let it out of the house it got hit by a car. I watched as some one dragged it to the woods.
Although I have very odd dreams, i have never had one with a giraffe. What could this mean?

Michelle – Have you not yet realised that we create our own dreams – mostly unconsciously?

You obviously let the giraffe out in a place it could be hurt. But a part of you dragged it back to the woods where it belonged. Ask yourself, why did you let the giraffe out where it was in danger? Because all the people, animals, and places you see in your dreams, are simply your own feelings, fears, hopes and wonder projected onto the screen of your sleeping mind as images.

Maybe learn to recognise how creative and destructive our feelings are.

Example: I was involved in a group and at some point felt that I needed to demonstrate the ability to fly. So I ascended into the air and flew around the room. Hardly anybody took any notice of this except toward the end one small boy with large brown eyes was looking at me out of a large window somewhere above the hall in which the play was taking place. He was leaning against the glass looking at me. So I looked him straight in the eye and rose straight upwards with the most wonderful feeling of exhilaration shared with the child. Then I became lucid and began to shift the dream in a particular direction. Firstly I brought the man and his wife together with myself in a communal embrace. Then together we lifted off into the air in flight, and in front of the children performing the play we did the most beautiful and colourful aero acrobatics. As we did these we were able to produce coloured lights flowing from us. Then in the end I created a great ball of coloured light that I broke into angels flying in the air and descending to touch the watchers. Then again into the ball which shattered into tens of thousands of coloured and shining pieces that gently fell like snowflakes touching those watching and disappearing into them sharing the wonder and beauty I felt flowing through me.

I was with two giraffes, they were resting near the edge of a field. They let me lay with them. We snuggled. They got up to leave and I called them back and they came and I woke up.

Nancy – You are learning to feel attunement with you inner mammal. Most people cannot remember or do not know that there body grew from a seed that started when life began on our world, so it carries information and organs gathered from that long history. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/brain-levels-and-dreams/

You are quite unusual because many dreamers are really scared of their dream animals. If you read the section on the mammalian brain it gives more information. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/acting-on-your-dream/#BeingPerson and http://dreamhawk.com/dream-dictionary/animals/

Beautiful dream of two giraffes walking in the brilliant sunset…that’s all! It was so clear and beautiful…

Maybe you could help me better understand the meaning of my dream. I dreamt I was standing in my driveway (we live in a wooded area) down in the trees I saw some deer. I pulled out my phone to take pictures to send to my mother. They ended up moving over to a different spot in our yard. As I continued to take pictures I realized I was taking a picture of a giraffes face right in front of me. I took my phone down. I started to panic and ran, taking into concideration that I could run indoors, I ran past the house into the back yard to my boyfriend as it chased me. He couldn’t get the chainsaw out of the wood he was cutting. The next thing I remember is telling his uncle there was a Giraffe here and explaining how I knew it was a giraffe and not a deer because of the markings on it, how large it was and what the head looked like.

I have put into detail as much as I remember.
Thanks

I dreamt of being in a dark room and the giraffe entered and was just standing in front of me. I was lying down and it just kind of stood there staring at me. Then I told my husband there was a giraffe in the room. He came in and saw for himself, then left the room and made some noises to get the giraffe to follow the sounds. The giraffe then turned to its right; my left and exited the room through a doorway and entered into a hallway. I woke up after that feeling a bit panicked and strange. I’ve never had a dream with a giraffe before.

Hi – It would help you to understand your dreams, if you would read – http://dreamhawk.com/news/summing-up/ and also http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/features-found-on-site/ which has so much information in.

Tiffany – Your dream can only really be understood if we have the associated feelings and ideas you have with giraffe, your husband and the room. Finding ones memories and feelings associated with the dream images, leads to a clear realisation of how our own mental and emotional experience and structure have formed the dream. In one of my own dreams in which I was in my father’s shop attending to a man who had been shot in the arm, exploring the associations led me to uncover massive feelings to do with my relationship with my father. I felt for the first time in my life, how his lack of praise and support had led to an injury to my self confidence.

Your husband for instance, many people do not realise that they have an inner husband equally as powerful as an external husband. You have taken in millions of bit of memory, lessons learnt, life experiences, along with all the feelings or problems met by loving and living with your husband, and they are what makes you the person you are. This is true even if your husband was never there for you – you still have all the memories of him not being there for you filed under ‘husband’. The memories and experience we gather unconsciously change us and are not lost. It is part of you and is symbolised in dreams as a person or event. Such an inner husband can appear in dreams because you are deeply influenced by what you hold within you.

I am guessing he represent your feelings of him being a supportive influence that you use when in dreams you confront any scary thing. The giraffe though is a different matter. What are your feelings about the giraffe?

Dreams are ways of introducing you, exploring and learning to use your own mind and imagination. For instance most people do not know until they explore their mind, that whenever we dream its images are not like real life, because a dream is nothing like outer life where things could hurt you, but is an image like on a cinema screen that even if a gun is pointed at you and fired it can do no damage – except if you run in fear. So all the things that scare you are simply your own fears projected onto the screen of your sleeping mind.

So what was scary about the giraffe in your room?

I had a dream that I was flying over what looked to be a large zoo. In my dream I flew over the exhibit of wild horses with my dad along side me. My dad had passed away in 2014. We watched the big black and brown horses trotting about and some were even struggling to jump the large branches to get back into the exhibit. It was a little bit weird, but it was beautiful. We also saw a real live giraffe hanging out in the ditch where the horse exhibit was located.The giraffe was walking along and occasionally resting its head along side the tall exhibit rocks as it watched the horses.

Hi – I am going to halt from answering your posts – the reason is that in so many of your post I give the same information to. This is because most people do not understand the difference between dreaming and waking life. Also I need to take time to update the site – dreamhawk.

So, most of what I put in answers is my attempt at explain what dreams are really about. It would help you to understand your dreams, if you would read – http://dreamhawk.com/approaches-to-being/questions-2/#Summing also http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/features-found-on-site/

Your father is still in your life and is a strong influence still. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/brain-levels-and-dreams/#mammalbrain

I had a dream, where I entered a zoo with my family, the zoo was merely one of those old fashioned, really big, white, American buildings. When we got in, it was all green grass and the animals were free, lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes, cheetahs, etc. All, humans and animals, were coexisting in complete harmony, me and my family was walking in complete happiness and wonder. I was making my way through the giraffes’ feet, while looking up admiring them, still, I was a bit nervous, I didn’t want to bother the animals and make them hurt me.

When I got to the end of the big terrain, there were some kind of chairs that could take you to the second floor. My family was unsure of going, they just stood there and acted confused (which happens a lot when we are touring). I got irritated, I actually wanted to see what was there, so I just sat on a chair with a bit of a struggle, my family looked and me and told me to be careful, I didn’t answer them. I wanted to see the aquatic creatures, I told them, my mother and sisters wanted to go back, sit and eat, but my father sat on the chair saying he wanted to see them too. Unfortunately, there where no creatures, the aquarium was empty, which left me a bit sad and disappointed. At least in our way we saw two restaurants, one was fancy and empty and the other one did have food.

I had a dream I was in an open field and there were rows of trees. There was a huge giraffe- it had the width of an elephant and was so tall that u couldn’t even see its head – it was like it went out of my frame of vision. I would see it from a distance and it would charge me and it was swift and fast! It could reach me in seconds. I would dart across the field to the trees where I kept trying to grab the bright yellow lemon. Sometimes I would get the lemon and I would throw it at the giraffe as it ran by. I never felt afraid. I was more in awe of its strength and speed and size. And it seemed there was only the one yellow lemon in all the green trees. And it was just me and the giraffe.

I dreamt of a baby giraffe walking away from me into the woods across a lake.. What do you think that means? Thx
