Dream Interpretation / Re: Similar type of dream every time - Different situation but similar ending

« on: September 30, 2011, 01:33:42 PM »

Mumal – There is nothing to be scared of with these dreams. Most dreams are about your emotions and feelings that are playing while you dream – and the dream clothes your emotions in images. Because you have a lot of fear about death playing in you again and again you dream about it a lot.

Of course you never experience death in your dreams because you cannot die in dreams, and nothing can hurt you. All that can happen is you experience death as images, but nothing happens and you wake none the worse – except that you may feel frightened. But if you realise that nothing can hurt you in dreams even the fear will go.

Shum – It means that you should keep a list of what you have and watch out for any of it going missing. And let it be known that if any of it does disappear without explanation, that you will call the police.

Matt - That is great news.

As far as things happening I had a hard time. Every so often a spontaneous action would happen - but then I would grab hold of it- so to speak - and try to make it happen and improve it. It was the kiss of death.

What finally happened after ten years of intensely trying all sorts of meditation and 'practices' I thought that whatever it was - God or Life or whatever - I was making it up by having goals and meditating with goals. So I thought that if IT was real, then I didn't need to make it happen or visualise the goal. So each day I sat for half an hour as if waiting for a friend. I knew that if my 'friend' turned up it would be as real for me as a friend calling my name or tapping me on the shoulder. So I simply sat and waited without expectation.

I did that for quite while, but then when it came it really shook me, not in bad way. It was real, and all I had to do was to give up any effort and surrender to what happened.

Dream Interpretation / Re: burnt snake

« on: September 26, 2011, 11:36:54 AM »

You spell out what this is about - fear and feeling scared. The images are a simple a way  of showing your fear  in a recognisable way. Also your reaction is one of fear.

In the world of dreams our most intimate fears and longings are given an exterior life of their own in the form of the people, objects and places of our dream. You are not therefore facing an exterior snake, but only an image that you create and react too in fear. Dreams are virtual realities that we create in our sleep. Even the wonderful dreams of God and angels are an external virtual reality, and mirror of our own inner immensity and our enormous variety.

Unfortunately people either accept them as externally real, or as fantasy. But they are reflections of your potential, that cannot be seen in your daily life that is so dominated by your physical senses, hungers and fears. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/the-magical-dream-machine/.

So the images and fears we experience in our dreams are projection upon the vast screen of our mind. They are all projections from you. Running from them is like trying to escape from yourself.

That you are on a beach with your dream wife shows you are on the edge of the great ocean of your inner self, with all  its wonders and fears. Unfortunately you kill out a living  part of you, and it seems you did this because you carry a memory of being hurt at a very basic level. Remember that every part of a dream is a living part of your feelings, and the snake is a fundamental part that represent in most cases the flight and fight response - exactly what you did it the dream, you ran away and then fight it.

The snake is life energy and is like electricity in our  house, and can be destructive and positive depending how we use  it. So if we feel fear and hatred it poisons our system and can cause illness and death. If we relate to it in a positive way it can create a heaven for us. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYYXq1Ox4sk

So your dream wife was correct in saying not to be concerned, because nothing can hurt you in your dreams. All you feel and meet is emotions, and if you run and kill them then you are the less, and can run from them all your life. You cannot escape from yourself - and that is all you meet in your dreams.

Dream Interpretation / Re: Smiling Moby Dick

« on: September 25, 2011, 11:50:59 AM »

Christine – The dead fish is there to remind you of an aspect of yourself.  It has to do with sex, with love, with your relationship with the eternal part of you. It is showing you that a part of you died and needs to be acknowledged and brought back to life. What we call the spiritual and God is often seen a s something distant and far off. But the fish is there in front of you. It is in fact that we are constantly living our life and yet forgetting that we are God, and our life is what we make of that holiness that we are in our core – a core that only manages to speak to most of us in our dreams.

The act of love is the act of Creation, birth and death, the void, everything. I see that if we approached each other in reverence, care, gentleness, then we approached Life itself. There is no imagination needed to understand that. Our own being is Life incarnate. It is only our lack of awareness that causes us to approach without care, prayerfulness or reverence.

Then the second image is to remind you that although you have killed a part of yourself, yet there is that huge whale smiling and saying, “Here I am, remember ME.” It lives on though we kill it a thousand times.

Dream Interpretation / Re: Violence toward ex-lovers

« on: September 23, 2011, 10:42:01 AM »

Cocoamoloko – Many years ago I was invited to a place that said it was doing therapy. I was introduced to a couple who, I was told, the man needed his wife, a very beautiful woman, to be touched by other men. He and she would then drive off and on the way back he would suddenly be aroused enough to make love with her. Otherwise it would be very difficult.

I feel that some men need an attack to get them aroused and it sound like he is one such. But because you are not attacking him he has to dream it.

Dream Interpretation / Re: White hen

« on: September 23, 2011, 10:17:05 AM »

Midlander – I feel this dream is a wonderful reflection of your observations of your chickens used as a way of seeing something about yourself. You know that people are like chickens in some ways – they have a pecking order, and if you are a contender you have to fight back or stand back. Or like chimpanzees, one of them can decide to become a monk and live and isolated life.

So I wonder whether in the back of your mind you were in fact reflecting on these things – and that was why you saw the white hen. White usually depicts the highest impulse in you, and it wanted to be part of the crowd knowing what it would face.

Memories – those were the days when I could walk up the garden and feed the chickens and watch them. My mother had a cockerel with them and one day it went for her. She picked up a stout Brussels sprout stalk, pecked clean, and gave the cockerel such whack he lay there stunned for a moment. No more attacks!! I am back in Wales now, and my garden is barely big enough for me, so no chickens.

That makes a  lot more sense - it is a pity we cannot always throw things around in conversation to get at a better understanding.

I wonder if your ex in the dream doesn't simply express the love you felt but also the things you learned from your being together. Life experience is the big teacher and it  is good to list what we have learned and use it. The positive and the negative are useful, but soemtimes we haven't taken time to clarify them, and when we do they are big steps toward growth.

Healing Dreams / Getting in touch with love and life

« on: September 22, 2011, 02:21:07 PM »

I had an interesting dream send to me - not on the Forum, I get most replies outside the forum. It was from a young  woman who started by saying, "I am a single, nursing student, 23 years old who’s living alone and currently not dating. I am really longing for a baby though."

Then at the end she says,"I am really longing to meet someone and build a family, but I’ve had trouble meeting guys and trusting them so it feels like I’ll end up alone and childless. Should I worry? Thanks!!"

Having at times also been desperate to meet someone, I never found dating sites brought me together with a real match. But something that has worked for me is talking to what I call Life. The first time I did it was when I was desperate for meaningful work. So I sat with my wife and asked for work that didn't take me away from my children; offered me work I could use my skills with; paid me a reasonable wage; and something I could get recognition for.

The very next day I had a telephone call offering me a job as a dream interpreter for a national newspaper. I was stunned.

Since then I have seen that it can only worked from a level of universal  mind. In other words you need to ask something that is not simply a selfish thing  only applicable  to you. Life, I am sure, has a form of consciousness, that expresses at different levels according to the complexity of the body it expresses through. Also it responds to questions we ask. It IS responsive.

I cannot  take space to explain it at length. But that young woman is obviously desperate to have a baby - and that isn't a selfish thing. Life itself is behind such a longing. So I suggested that she can you put her hand on her chest and feel her heart beating. That beat is Life, and it created her and has given her a longing for a partner and a baby. That action pumping her heart is universal; it is everywhere, in everyone.

I suggested that if she can get a feeling of that, that life is universal, and speak to Life and ask. Also to realise her own beauty – and I am not talking about film star stuff but the ordinary loveliness of a young woman with a treasure to offer, the treasure of the many life times that have given her a unique DNA and a unique love – and say to Life – “Here I am, you know me and you know how much I  want to be a mother and with a partner. Help me find the right person.”

That is a healing using her imagination, and a great way to ask something of Life. Also  if any of you can join in with her and ask for her, the more who ask the more powerful it gets.

« on: September 20, 2011, 11:59:43 PM »

Christine - I realised that I didn't give you something that I want to pass onto you if you can use it. It is a dream I had.

In  the dream I was floating on the very tender tips of a tree in a sort of effortless levitation. The tree was about 30 feet high and was standing in what looked like walkways near a shopping mall. One walkway was rising so it came to about quarter way up the tree. A few people gathered to look at me and wonder how it was possible for me to maintain my position. At first they thought it must be a publicity stunt and were wondering where the cameras were. But as nothing happened in that way it led them to question further. Suddenly one of the people watching – I think it was a woman – suddenly realised it was not a trick or to do with publicity. She realised that this meant it was possible for a human being to do this, and was immediately floating beside me. Shortly after that another person was with us, floating effortlessly. Then there were several more, until there were about six of us in a circle at the tree tip. We reached out to each other and held hands, then we lifted upwards, climbing to an enormous height, leaving a trail of smoke behind us as a sign for people to see from miles away.

The thing about the dream is that it says what I was saying, that there is no need to be good, to meditate in a special way, or to do wonderful things. All that is needed is to realise that it is possible to be free of all that holds one back. I know it is possible, although only a few could manage to be together in that wonderful state.

A woman who has sought to be free of awful worries and watched me go through my stroke as a close witness, phoned me two days ago to tell me she has reached the peace. You could fly up with the rest of us. There is plenty of room.

Christine – First of all thank you for being an active part of the Forum. It feels good to me.

Also I feel similar about not being able to fulfil other people’s expectations of one. I rebelled early and so got kicked out of school at 15. But being older than you – I presume – I got really hung up on guilt. It wasn’t that I went to church, but in the 30’s and 40’s it was everywhere. And I see guilt was a way that those in positions of power controlled people.

I left my children too and suffered agonizing guilt for years until one day I tasted real freedom. All came from a dream.

But Christine, this is your dream life we are talking about now. You can be any shape you like in your dreams. In fact if you can allow yourself to be free to wear something beautiful the way you feel about yourself changes. It isn’t that we have to make a big effort to be good, I realised many years ago that growth happens naturally, and if we allow it the goodness shines out by itself.

And all that waste you talk about is all the rubbish you believe about yourself. Please look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYYXq1Ox4sk
