Medallion

A medallion is often a realisation of something important in the life of the dreamer. Sometimes it refers to a heritage from the past that is being realised now.

If it is being awarded to you it suggests you have been seen as having a soecial ability or gor the work you are doing – either on yourself or for others. It may simply be a reminder of an important person in your life. See badge; symbol

 Example: I was on my knees digging in the earth with my right hand. It was fairly easy. I pulled up what felt like coins, and found they were all joined together, forming something one could wear. This was in the form of a necklace from which ran a long loop from one edge to the other, perhaps reaching fairly well below the breasts. The coins, or really, medallions, were shining silver, depicting Christian or ancient saints and martyrs. It was, I knew in the dream, like a rosary, which one could use in prayer. But instead of just the Ave Maria’s, and the Our Father’s, all the other saints were included. Thus it was a very comprehensive guide to prayer. Some of the silvered chains between the coins were missing, but these had been mended with something else.

The man was digging deep within himself through his inner searching, and realised a fuller understanding of prayer and it relation with everyday life. It was also a lifting up, due to a healing process within him, and an opening or new centres of awareness. See Kundalini

 Example: This was a vivid dream, in brilliant color. I dreamed I was working in a beautiful garden. There was lush vegetation everywhere, with a meandering brook off to one side. There was an alive feeling to this place. It made me think of the Garden of Eden. I was turning the soil with a spade and I noticed how exceptionally rich it was. Suddenly I uncovered a silver medallion which I picked up and cleaned. It was covered with fine engraving of ancient design. I continued to dig and found another and another of these medallions, all beautifully engraved. And then I found two gold coins with the number “705” on them. With that the dream ended.

The dreamer was a hard working man trying to keep his family but was pressed for money and prayed for help. He had six children, the two youngest were twin boys, who had golden hair. Their birthday was on July 5^th thus 705. The beautiful garden, where these precious objects are found, is symbolic of the dreamer’s life. He toils in the vineyard… and the

fertile soil he works with represents his life work. The meandering brook is seen as a spiritual symbol. It lends a peaceful tone, indicating that conditions may not be as desperate as they seem. The vivid colors and alive feeling of the garden also indicate a close spiritual presence.

The dreamer went to sleep with the thought uppermost in mind as to how he might earn more money. The dream answered this request by showing him where his fortune could be found. But the fortune the dream speaks of is not in money or any kind of material wealth. Instead, his fortune is found in the flesh and blood of his family. Quoted from the Dream Journal BBS by Aurelius.
