Thanks Tony,

it occurred to me late last night as I was dropping off to sleep, that the dream was to do with my feelings of self worth...and that possibly both of these ex boyfriends, although never serious were perhaps the only ones who valued me. But once they expressed that they valued me, I rejected them because I didn't value myself.

It was a helpful dream because one of my ambitions is to write a story to empower young women.

I should probably make it clear that the Cancer diagnosis was in real life and it was my own.

Hello again!

Sorry to be presenting another dream, but I've tried to figure this one out on my own and not making much progress.

Last night I dreamed that I met two of my ex-boyfriends. The first one was from my teens and was not at all serious. We were together only for a couple of months and he had a broken leg at the time. I found him a bit soppy and didn't like all of that, so finished it.
He showed up in my dream at some kind of student union type event. He said his wife had recently died.
Then I met another ex-boyfriend who I met just prior to a Cancer diagnosis in my twenties. Because of the diagnosis things never took off and again, it was never serious. He too turned up at this student union type event in my dream and called to ask me to meet him outside. He too said his wife had died. As we entered the building we encountered a gay couple having sex in full view of everyone through a glass door. I remember feeling both intrigued and disgusted that they would do it there in full view. I remember saying/thinking something like 'well that would never have happened in our day!'
We went back into the event (music, dancing, bar and food type thing) where I felt like I wanted to be there for both my ex boyfriends and divided my time between them, consoling them. But then I got fed up and introduced them to each other to let them console one another. I went to a nearby train station and ordered a hot chocolate at the café. A strange man approached me and we sat down together at a table to talk. Then I woke up.

Wow

Thank you for the interpretation.

Yes I have been the victim of persecution in the past, during more than one period in my life, so I do have a great desire to enable the underdog and consider myself lucky and strong for having overcome the victimisation I suffered.

With regards to the queue forming. To my mind that is probably more to do with my perceptions of my friend. She's the kind of woman who can really galvanize others...but yes I definitely am the kind of person who wants to share my life and abilities. I am frustrated though because I seem unable in real life to create enough wealth even to fully support my own children (I am a totally lone parent), let alone others, which is my greatest ambition. I want to write bestsellers for young people on the kind of JK Rowling/ Phillip Pullman scale so that I can help others. This has been my ambition for a long time, but I am beleaguered by self-doubt and frustrated by the fact that I cannot seem to make my own living from my talents (as a translator and writer) so find myself having to do other less inspiring work (as I guess we all do).

In any case, I feel inspired by your observations of my dream and I am going to work with it some more.

Thank you so much.

Dream Interpretation / Flying up on to a cliff

« on: February 19, 2017, 12:22:33 PM »

Hello!

Last night/this morning I dreamed that I was on a golden sandy beach with a friend. She had bought a flying machine of sorts in which you wore the wings made of orange parachute material, ran along the sand, pressed a button on the remote control and lifted off and up onto the cliff at the end of the beach. She let me use the flying machine a couple of times, and then we attracted a queue of people who we shared the experience with. From this experience we met some local student teachers at a nearby teacher training college. They invited us up to their beautiful college further back on the cliff which was a stately home. They shared this stately home with refugees - to my delight as I felt they really deserve to be well accommodated (in reality I have recently done some voluntary work with refugees). Some of the teacher trainers (young women) accused the refugees of sexual advances, but in my mind I felt sure that they had misunderstood their attempts to be friendly due to cultural differences and fear. I was trying to explain and encourage them to allow the refugees to continue living there.
Any interpretations welcome! The last part seems fairly straight forward to me given my allegiances and current media tendency to create fake news.

Dream Interpretation / Re: Uninvited/Loss

Hi Tony,

Thanks so much for your insight and wisdom. Yes, I think not long after I wrote it down (which was only a few mins after the dream), I realised a little more about the external situation my dream was reflecting (an old wound that has recently been reopened) and how my dream had transposed this situation on to a new friend. 

But your added insight leads to layers upon layers that need to be explored. I think it could take some time to explore this dream, but I think it's probably necessary!

Many thanks, I really do appreciate it.

Marianne

Dream Interpretation / Uninvited/Loss

« on: July 29, 2016, 10:22:23 AM »

I've just woken from a dream which made me weep.

Firstly I was at a friend's house. This friend is particularly warm, inviting and inclusive in real life, but in my dream I discovered a list which invited hundreds of people to a special Christmas party to which I was not invited. When I asked her about it, she refused to give an explanation. I then got in my car (in real life I own a van) and gave a lift home to one of her friends who was at the house. On my way I accidentally drove on the wrong side of the road and just missed a head on collision. The car and passenger were fine. Following this I experienced some memory loss in the dream itself and my next dream experience was arriving back at my friend's house having lost the car and its contents ie my bag, keys, purse with all my cards - entire identity!

My friend's husband came with me to "look for it" in town. The town in my dream was by the sea. I experienced some "flashback" within the dream of having been into town and entered a bar/restaurant to use the bathroom which was in the basement. We checked there - no sign of my bag. We returned to my friend's house. She was there but using her own bathroom. By this time there was someone else at the house and both she and my friend's husband AND my friend's children were all urging me to go home (which was impossible since I had no car or keys). I wanted to wait for my friend to come out of the bathroom, when she came out I asked her again about the party and why I wasn't invited (in a right state, sobbing). She explained that she was going to ask me to use my van to give people lifts home from the party! (she would never ask this in real life). After this it was clear that nobody wanted me around, indeed there was coldness and I was being told to leave. I awoke very upset.

Thanks again,
Yes, that's how I understand "God/ess" too-  as Universal Consciousness - it is everything to my mind as well and has been for many years, but I agree also that I am being born into a new fresher awareness at present. It's good to have confirmation of that.
I'm glad (and very grateful) you don't make a business of this, I feel that spirituality should not be a business either, although, having said that I do pay to partake in workshops that interest me and for yoga, in order to acquire knowledge and delve deeper into these unknown mysteries and practices. With this site you are living that Pablo Picasso quote; “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.”

Thank you so much Tony, that's really helpful. I am reading the links and have begun working with the dream. I have a book by Robert A Johnson - Inner Work which describes pretty much the same method derived from Jung so I do sometimes work on my dreams but often I get flummoxed and need further guidance. This one especially being so abstract had me flawed. I forgot another detail, the unseen extra terrestrial force was telling me that I had been touched by spirit.
This site is absolutely amazing, I love exploring it. If there's an option to donate to its upkeep then I'd be happy to donate.
Again, many thanks

Dream Interpretation / Symbol in the sky

« on: April 11, 2015, 06:18:43 PM »

Hey everyone!

This is just a snippet of a dream I had on Thursday night whilst sleeping in my van by the sea, so the sea was present in my dream, but mostly the sky (blue) and the enormous symbol which was drawn in it by an unseen extra terrestrial force. The symbol was of two white rings next to one another. Each of them had a white vertical line like a tail at the bottom of the ring reaching down to the sea. Between the two tails coming from the rings were three horizontal lines joining the two tails together, much like a ladder. The whiteness of the symbol was very bright, shining iridescent like a pearl here and there.
I've never had a dream quite like it before and it was rather beautiful, I'd love it if anyone can give me some insight.
Many thanks
Marianne

Hi Anna,
Thank you for the warm welcome to the site and thank you so much for having shed such light on this dream. I do know that I am my own dream expert  but it has been very insightful to have your interpretation and it has allowed some things to become crystallized. Now to work on my animus! Hmmm
Thanks again, I am very appreciative.

Dream Interpretation / A baby in two halves

« on: March 07, 2015, 09:37:19 PM »

Hi there,


So in my dream I have baby - I think he's a boy of about 6 months old in the dream he's my son and my own two children are not there. There's lots of getting on and off buses and trams which I don't use in real life and some vague notion that I am with the baby's father although I am single in real life. I take him to the doctor for a regular check-up and while we are there, when the doctor is out of the room, he just falls apart! His top half comes right away from his bottom half and he is in two pieces, but still gurgling away and smiling. I am appalled obviously and desperate to put him back together, thoughts race through my mind that the doctor is going to think I chopped him in half, but she comes back in the room and says that she will simply sew him back together, which she does and I can see crude black stitches around his middle which she says will heal.

I have some ideas about what this dream could mean having looked up meanings and worked on other dreams in the Jungian way, but it is so bizarre that I'm a bit foxed! I'd love some insight please, thank you
