Dream Interpretation / Re: The Things we Forgive
« on: May 06, 2013, 05:28:39 PM »
I could use some help with this...
I had a dream within a dream. In the inner dream, I was lying on my bed, and I'm not sure what was going on but I felt a strong feeling of feeling paralyzed and out of control.
On the ceiling was a piece of paper, flapping, with the word "Jayseus" written on it.
I was desperately trying to call for "Jesus", but my mouth and tongue wouldn't work (I'm guessing I was trying to actually do this in my sleep).
I ('falsely') woke up with a start, telling my friend about the experience, then woke up again.
So, this tells me at a deep level I am feeling paralzyed and not in control and fearful.
What I don't understand is the Jesus theme - I dreamed of the devil a few weeks ago and he asked me what sent me back to Jesus, and I said, "You!"
In the past, when I've had dreams of poltergeist activity, I called on the power of Christ to "banish" the spirits (maybe from seeing The Exorcist when I was younger?).
I don't identify as Christian. Jesus is a name that rarely comes out of my mouth.
I'm wondering what the heck is going on deep in my psyche??!!!
Ideally, I would be able to surrender to the feelings of paralysis and not being in control, rather than fearing and fighting them.
Maybe I can get back into this dream, but I'm not sure - when the feelings are so strong it's often difficult for me to get back into them.
