hi tony,thank you for yours & deepas thoughts,
i have hesitated in replying to this dream post as since posting it,the dream story has continued were it left off,& seems to make more sense,
the 2nd dream,
after selecting a staff from those all scattered around ,i take a left & head towards a forest,when i get to it,i notice it is surrounded by a high wooden fort like fence,i figure appears on the pallisade,tells me ,that what lies within cannot be killed by the weapon i hold in my hands,thats why there was a huge pile of them down by the river,he tells me they belonged to all the priests,holy men,yogis,sages ,gurus who thought they could all come here ,take on & defeat what really lies within,but they all fail,as all will fail,i felt a bit disheartend at this,the figure then through down to me a strange piece of skin ,i noticed it was made of a strange material,he told me it belonged to the thing within,i could see why a mere wooden staff or stick would be useless,& why those that tried,failed,
the priest who i met earlyier turns up with a barrel,i look inside it to see a bunch of various weapons,spears,axes,swords etc,i notice right at the bottom a silver object,reaching down i grab hold & drag it out,
i realise it is a supernatural weapon,in fact it was thors hammer,a more fitting tool for the job,i said to my self,if i am going to die,i might aswell go down using this, i awoke at this point,as whatever it was that lay within,was bashing on the gates,

as you can see,it is full of the mythic stuff,i am somewhat alarmed at the seriousness & sense of urgency  of the dream,& feel that maybe i have been approaching my inner journey in the wrong way,
there seemed nothing peaceful or yogic about it,in fact it was totally the opposite,a battle for survival,in which i would not escape unscathed,
hope my courage holds !

i don't mind at all,
thank you for your thoughts deepa,i am not a hindu so any info on other myths or cultures is always of help,
i know that jung said, you must not be worried if images from other myths, religions etc turn up in your own dreams,
they have a way of waking you up,especially if they are followed up and acted upon,i am always amazed at the unending supply of old & ancient symbols our inner world seems to come up with,
i did like your thoughts on bad company,this could be symboloized by the negative spirits of the past,that had to be got rid of in the dream,so you may be on to something,thanks for that.

Dream Interpretation / chapel perilous theme

« on: December 15, 2011, 11:54:52 AM »

hi tony,
i thought i would mention this latest dream, as once again it contains those myth/archetypal images that always seem to provide extra ommph to a dream,
the dream.
i am in a cave or chapel,the door i came in through has slammed shut,no going back ,
there is another door on the other side of the chapel ,that is shut also,
i realise i am in a place of incredible supernatural activity,both positive and negative,
 blue lights are  flashing all around  the room,but down on ground level i see yellow coloured lights,these i feel are negative ghost/ spirits of the passed,
in my hand i hold what i can only describe as, a puffer,a small bulb like tool that when squeezed puffs out a gas that envelops the ghost like spirits of the passed and outlines them,allowing me to  see and destroy them with a magical  knife i have,
on clearing the place out of these negative spirits,the remaining blue ones all come together and take on the form of a priest,
this being is wearing a sari kind of covering,is bald ,and has a blue rectangular bar tatooed  on his forehead,similar to what hindu holy men daub on forehead,(i could find no ref to hindu forehead marks in blue)
he walks over to the other door i mentioned and opens it,
i bow to him to show my respect,he then shakes my hand,i have used the word him,but on shaking his hand i realized he was neither a he nor she but both,
i walk through the newly opened door,to see a beautiful crystal clear river lined with trees,
all along the banks are discarded wooden staffs,& sticks, some rotten, some strong,as if dumped after some great flood had passed,
it seems my job now is, to find myself a good strong wooden staff from those lying around, to afford me some protection ,for the next part of the journey up river,
as you can see,this dream has that mythic feel about it,
i look forward to your thoughts,
kind regards mikey.

Dream Interpretation / Re: Juncture Point of Cross

« on: October 22, 2011, 10:52:12 AM »

hi christine,
i hope you don't mind me giving my thoughts,
if we are talking about the same thing,here in the uk we call them crossroads,
as a metaphor in a dream ,they may refer to a place you have arrived in life,that requires you to make a decision about which way to go,path to choose etc,so this might resonate with you,
another way of looking at it ,
if you look at the symbol of a crossroads from above, (birdseye view)you get something that resembles a mandala,which is often been seen to represent the symbol of the total self,the fact it was a vision may allocate it to this area,i have no idea what is going in your life ,so only you will know which area the vision refers to,

i would hazzard a guess and say it refers to the first or second examples,
are you aware of any transitions taking  place ,or in the near future,,inner or outer ? the answers to these questions may give you some meaning,
i hope this is of some use to you,feel free to feedback,

Dream Interpretation / Re: Death Of My Young Daughter

« on: October 17, 2011, 11:28:03 AM »

hi lotty,
it is easy to see how distressing this dream must have been to you,but you must try to look at it from a different angle,dreams are seldom literal and must be looked at symbolically,

i think the first thing to look at would be,
what can you identify the child with in your own life,
ie,what have you had to give up ,sacrifice ?
secondly,
it could be you have a lot of repressed  emotions,maybe even pent up grief about a relationship to something,
all these emotions get put aside so you can function,and do what is required of you,
but comes the time ,when you just can't hold it in anymore,and out it pops,
dreams have a remarkable way of doing this,and that function is to help you release that tension,
i would imagine that you felt extra loving feelings towards your child in real life,this then might have been the dreams purpose, to put you in touch ,a sort of conscious acknowledgement of your true feelings,
i am a dad of 3 girls,whom i have had to bring up on my own,and i have had similar dreams too,but i understand that i had them for the very same reason i have stated,it may be the same for you,or not,
only you will know what it refers to,i hope my words are of some use to you,
and i am sure that tony,and others will give some input,
rest assured you have come to the right place!

Dream Interpretation / the blackhole & end of the world

« on: October 14, 2011, 02:21:25 PM »

Hi Tony,
This dream was one that I thought came under the heading of important.

 I witness a blackhole open up, everything is starting to get sucked in, houses trees animals, in fact all matter and life, just as a real blackhole in space does. I hear people screaming, as they to are sucked in.

Firstly, peoples hope is being sucked out of them; I hear one person say, "There is no point in fighting it" he then just lets himself fall in.

After watching this for a few moments, I to felt the hope ebbing from me, and I to decide to jump in, thinking that its pointless to resist.

As I am about to do this, an electro static energy appears, surrounds me and stops me from submitting to what would be an act of suicide. I remember thinking if I do get sucked into this blackhole, I along with all  life would be in a state of limbo forever, totally devoid of light and love, just stuck in blackness.

I did not want that, and slowly came to my senses. I know it was the strange powerful energy that surrounded me that brought me out of this negative state, it held onto me, would not let me go.

When I finally came to, the blackhole disappeared as quickly as had come. A female is with me now, and I know I have managed to survive a world disaster of epic proportions, I am one of a few who have survived to start a new life.

Given the current climate of end of the world theories, 2012 and the Mayan thing etc, I did wonder if this had something to do with my dream. I have to mention also, that I do not feel depressed either, which was the first thing I looked at in relation to this dream.

Look forward to your thoughts,
Regds Mikey.

Dream Interpretation / archetype of the paradigm

« on: October 07, 2011, 01:33:18 PM »

tony,
just wanted to say thanks for the article on the archetype of the paradigm,
i especially liked the "nothing in our consciousness can exist,unless it is produced by the physical brain.
i have had dreams in the past that have been de je vu in content,to such detail that i have been stunned, as i experience it taking place before my very eyes,,
i now see after reading the article mentioned ,that an attempt has been made to break me out of my  so called ,rational thinking,and belief system,by some other force,not sure if thats the right word,but it will have to do,
i remember saying to myself that,it is impossible for the brain as a lump of meat,albeit a pretty amazing lump of meat,to have a built in store of all future events, that meant it must come from another source,something other, does know,and will on occasion render the info to the conscious mind,mostly for me in dreams,but i am sure that many a waking  intuition comes from the same place.
one thing that this has all left me with is this,
 there is another dimension that is not available to our 5 senses.
and if this is true,then anything is possible.
thanks again for your wisdom

Dream Interpretation / Re: Strangest Dream I've had in years. Can't get it out of my head today.

« on: August 23, 2011, 12:22:15 PM »

just thought i would add a few other things to think about,
the way to truth lies between opposites ,this is the middle way,
being told you have an illness that is life threatening must be difficult to accept,and may as a metaphor represent the feeling of having to let go,you have no option,but i think this dream is more about surrendering to life ,this will lead you to yourself,
as tony stated your dream is full of 2's,opposites,the house you arrived at by the ocean,this is the middle place,a place of healing and rejuvination,
the shore representing the material world,the ocean ,the vast unconscious world,the female with the two differant coloured eyes reminded me of someone who walks with one foot in the sea(unconscious) and one foot on the land(material),and she to is a part of yourself,if there is one thing i have learned it is this, you can trust this aspect of yourself,she/it knows the terrain well,and does indeed walk in both worlds.
i think the ref to ,being home,may be about your acceptance of the feminine qualities within yourself or that you need to accept them, by this i mean as tony again suggested,let intuition guide you rather than rational thinking,
interestingly,the 2nd stage in the so called individuation process according to jung ,is a meeting with the feminine ,

hope this is of use to you,

Dream Interpretation / Re: merits of dream incubation

« on: August 09, 2011, 12:39:01 PM »

thanks tony for the link to,Archetype of the paradigm,
i realise  that my dreams, have been attempting to break me out of my own so called paradigm.
in fact they have ,
i was reminded of a parable in one of richard bach's books,

a tribe of limpets lived on the bottom of a fast flowing river,the only existence they had ever known was clinging hold of the rock, one limpet got curious,asking the elders ,who were the keepers of the knowledge,what would happen if he let go,as he wanted see if there was more,they told him he would be smashed to pieces on the rocks,he ignored this and let go,
sure enough ,he did get bounced around a bit,but eventually the current lifted him clear,

this is my story, still bouncing about a bit.

Dream Interpretation / Re: merits of dream incubation

« on: August 07, 2011, 05:16:10 PM »

just been reading an article in a dream book,
it was about blind spots,
it said,
blind spots are  revealed through dreams ,when we have put aside conventional attitudes and beliefs towards a given subject,
i now understand that this dream is showing my blind spots,i even unknowingly said what they were,

now saying ,what iff ! ,(have had trouble with accepting a higher self, residing deep within), hopefully this means i can now move forward,the restrictive tunnel did have the overtones of a birth canal.

i am adrift on a gigantic  ocean ,in a tiny little boat!

Dream Interpretation / merits of dream incubation

« on: August 06, 2011, 01:33:08 PM »

hi,
the other day i felt a little confused as to the goal that my dreams seemed to be pointing out to me,
a lot of the symbolism seems spiritual/religious in nature,i do not consider myself to be either,and prefer to shun anything religious,
i decided to ask for clarity,just before i nodded off to sleep,
the dream i had answers my question.
 i am being led through a labyrinth by a large female,the last section is very narrow and is on a corner turning to the right,felt very constricted,
i stop and say to her,that i would not be able to get through this place without her help,sort of saying a big thanks,
around the corner is a large hall area,i cant see it yet,but i know its there.
i ask the female what is waiting for me ,she replies ,a higher experience of self.
i took this to mean that all the previous experiences of self would pale away into insignificance ,
so there was a wake up feeling of great anticipation,
i found it interesting that she did not say ,an experience of the higher self,but a higher experience of self,which to me took on a different meaning,suggesting that i have had previous experiences ,which are about to be bettered,
the ref to the large female,was taken from an article i read the day before,on goddess archetypes,
i have to be honest and admit,that dream incubation does indeed work,i suppose the phrase ,ask and it shall be given would seem very apt,
as to this idea of the higher self,i have yet to understand exactly what it is,to some it would seem  like god,depending on your point of view,
i remain  open to suggestions.

Dream Interpretation / Re: Nightmare; Need Help Figuring Out What It Means

« on: July 26, 2011, 09:33:55 AM »

hi,
although in the dream he was prepared to fight,he still got ripped to shreds,which may suggest him being out of his depth in some area,this may be work related or as tony suggested any kind of gang/collective group and your fears for him.
my own take on this is this,
not until the bond is broken,is the bond truly felt !
sometimes dreams show us horrible things happening to those close to us,to break us out of some sort of lethargy within that relationship,
the question to ask which may help you understand is ,
what did you feel about him after he was ripped to shreds,
did you feel great love and sense of loss at this,which would suggest that you are taking the relationship for granted somehow,and not sharing your true feelings,
losing him ,in the dream would make your true feelings come to the surface,so that you can put them into the relationship,before its to late,
i agree with tony's thoughts aswell,and this is just my small input,as the best person to interprate the dream is you,.
hope this is of use to you,
rgds mikey.

Dream Interpretation / Re: pyramid capstone

« on: July 20, 2011, 03:01:11 PM »

hi,
thank you for the time & effort you have taken in responding to my dream,
i had to go away and digest what you have tried to relay,
i agree that dreams can tell us what, we have built into our lives that may be true or untrue,

in my reply to tony i stated ,the stone the builders rejected, ressonated with me,
this ref to some experiences i had relating to dreams,most of which i accepted,all except one,regarding something that would happen,yes something prophetic,(stone me if you wish.)that dispite all the others ,still found it hard to accept,
now .you mentioned mary,she was told what was going to happen,she accepted it,knowing the ridicule and turmoil she would experience from those around her,she believed beyond all doubt,as message was from a divine source,
unfortunatly,i am not made of the same stuff,metaphorically speaking,
if there is one theme that has run through  my dreams it has to be that of, "self worth"
the female in the dream choosing me over the others,my inner response was,ME ! you must be joking,out of my league,
so if, as you say ,i ask the question what is this dream telling me about myself that is true or untrue, the answer has got to be , i am telling myself that i am not worthy of something,the dream is trying to correct this attitude,
by showing me what i have achieved or could achieve ,with a little belief.
i am still working on it,

Dream Interpretation / Re: pyramid capstone

« on: July 06, 2011, 09:52:28 AM »

hi,
yes i see what you are getting at,
the capstone being a pyramid( different scale),connecting with main pyramid,the two meshed ,
although the capstone was smaller,it was made of a gold mix and covered with inscriptions,which gave it great value,
one thing you said has opened a chain of thought though,
"the stone the builders rejected",
this resonated with me,
i asked ,have i  rejected something that was of great value and importance ,but has now been accepted,that final piece ,the answer to that has got to be a huge resounding yes.
i have been researching the function of the  pyramids to glean anything i can,
in a nutshell the pyramid was a place for ressurection!
so the physical & spiritual coming together has got to be that ressurection,
a quote from a builder of pyramids from the bbc series,
laying the capstone,
all these years of labour seem concentrated into these last final moments.
