Dream Interpretation / Re: Full of symbols?
« on: November 30, 2010, 02:46:40 PM »
Midlander – The key and the handbag. Let me quote  you something interesting.

For one experiment, Schroetter used a 24 year old female pharmacist he calls 'Miss E'. Having put the subject into a 'deep hypnotic sleep', he then told her she would dream of having homosexual intercourse with her female friend L. Schroetter comments that Miss E is Aryan, while L is Jewish. The dream that followed during the night was of Miss E sitting in a small dingy cafe' holding a huge French newspaper. Talking with a strong Yiddish accent, a woman twice asks her, 'Don't you need anything?' Miss E doesn't answer, but the woman comes a third time, and is recognised as her friend L. She is holding a worn suitcase with a label that reads, 'For ladies only!' Miss E goes out of the cafe? with her, and walks along an unfamiliar street, while L hangs on to her. She doesn't like this, but does not like to be rude by telling her to stop. They arrive at L's house, where she pulls out a huge bunch of keys from a rag. She chooses a key and gives it to Miss E, saying, 'I trust only you with it, it is the key to this case. You might like to use it. Just watch that my husband doesn't get hold of it.' L then leaves her with the key.

As, according to Freud's symbology, a case/handbag is a woman, a key the male organ, and walking up a strange street, new sexual conquest, this dream is very interesting. It can be seen how a forbidden idea is hidden within the symbols, and how the symbols express the hidden idea. As Miss E had no knowledge of Freudian concepts these symbols are spontaneous products of her own dream state.
Roffenstein, because he wished to be quite certain of the subject's ignorance of formulated dream symbols, chose a 28 year old nursemaid. She is described as of sub-average intelligence, totally uneducated, and quite innocent of his proposed experiment. She was likewise hypnotised and told to dream, amongst other things, of having sexual intercourse with her father. The dream was of her father. He gave her a large bag, and with it a big key. It was a very big key, like the key to a house. She felt sad, but opened the bag. Then a snake jumped out of it against her mouth, when she screamed and awoke. (Quoted from my book New Dream Dictionary).

So I feel you are right in thinking that the young girl holds the secret of how to attract the man, and has the key to it all. So what is it between you and the young girl that you don’t want to see her and him together? Do you identify with the more functional handbag and therefore fail to search the gossamer one?

The church is interesting too. It is like your home and you allow him to use it. A church, according to the NT is ones body, a holy place. So I see a sexual relationship as central to your life.

If you indentify with the young woman does it make a difference how you feel?

Mikey – The first part of your dream shows you entering an experience that you are uncertain about to the point of wondering if it is dangerous. Then you see a landmark and you feel better. But you are not alone on this journey as many  others are with you.

It is important to ‘stay where you are’ and simple watch developments. In other word do not go in search of the love you want, but wait for it to happen/arrive.

As for the last part it could mean either an inner or outer meeting – both.

I would be interested in what you arrived at.

Arabella – The woman in your dreams certainly wants to get your attention. Then you wake up – and what feelings do you ‘wake up’ to?

The store might be important too, as you have just made choices of what you want, and have walked away – at night. So I wonder what choices you made or didn’t make as you enter the unconscious – night.

But it would help if you knew more about the woman. Can you try being her? You can do this by sitting quietly and imagine yourself as her – literally enter her and feel the different feeling. Don’t forget that the woman is only an aspect of yourself projected outwards in your dream; so imagining yourself as her is a way of claiming that part of you and understanding it. Particularly notice any shifts of feeling when and if you do it. If you are successful with it you can even open a conversation with her. To quote from Lucid Dreaming:

“No computer, however amazing, can yet do what your mind does in creating a dream. It produces a living being such as a dream character that can have a conversation with you, and in doing so draw spontaneously from huge areas of your experience or memories. Behind the image lies enormous data, emotional response and created patterns of behaviour. So the main thing to remember at this level is that you are in a full surround databank of fantastic information. You can tap this information just as you would with any person, by asking questions and prodding for a response. But, even the trees and animals in your dreams are also enormous reservoirs of information, linking back perhaps infinitely with your potential and experience.”

Dream Interpretation / Re: Punching can't hit & dark room with entity
« on: November 23, 2010, 11:49:40 AM »

Well Dreamdrea – There is a lot going on in your dream life isn’t there.

As far as not being able to land a punch it seems as if you might be slightly awake – semi sleep state – and in that state you are unable too move well. So everything you do isn’t as effective. But it might be also that you are divided in yourself about your anger, not wanting to hurt and wanting to hurt.

The terrifying dreams are easier to pinpoint. I had such a dream I which two men came into my bedroom, and they looked like they had just arisen from the grave, with rotten flesh dropping off them. They came at me and grasped my throat trying to strangle me. I awake screaming and needed the lights on from there on. But later, when I had learned how to enter my dreams without fear, I found that they were things in me that had been killed in my childhood and had died and were rotten.

I know that sounds strange, but many comic books constantly depict real human situations. So I feel sure your demons and awful feelings are from childhood. And from mid thirties onwards your usual optimism has been shattered or worn thin, and so these things can surface.

I wonder if something happened in a bathroom and is still haunting you. If you can believe that they are parts  of your past that need you to see what an awful condition some of your memories are in, and talk to them asking for courage to meet and understand them, it can make a big difference.

I have had a lot of nightmares, and helped others to meet and heal them, and I know this works if you have the courage.

General Discussion / Re: fear & intuition!
« on: November 23, 2010, 11:01:57 AM »
Dear Wellworld - Maybe you have already read this piece but I include it just in case:

To get the best out of the process of intuition, always seek the end result of actually understanding. I have found, in teaching people practical ways of using intuition, we can have a conversation or develop communication with the process. The first uprisings of intuition may be in symbols in images or body movements, or in bold verbal statements, depending upon how it shows itself. The process must not be left at this stage, but led to an expression of further information which unfolds the meaning and leads to understanding. For instance, my wife squatted in answer to a question she asked, so squatting was only a symbolic body movement, a mime, until it connected with her past squat and was understood to refer to the spot where she lost her glasses. So if your body mimes something, you need to ask what it is trying to describe by holding that question in your mind.

Never forget that your unconscious is a massive reservoir of everything. It is not only wise, but also just under the surface are all your personal fears and prejudices, all your cultural clichés and limitations. Sometimes we have to wade through these - the 'housework' - before we can get at useful information and insights. To 'wade through' you have to avoid being satisfied with apparently prophetic or sweeping statements. What you receive must be critically measured against real events and your history. Freud found most people have powerful resistances to actually seeing or experiencing the truth about themselves.

This is where your conscious rational and critical evaluation comes in. Without it you may be adrift in symbols and the expression of attitudes that need to be transformed. All the time aim to link what arises from within to your own here and now history and what can be observed externally.

Quoted from Using Your Intutition - On Amazon Kindle Store.

As I say, fear doesn't offer real connections that can be checked.

Dream Interpretation / Re: Pet monkey dream
« on: November 22, 2010, 12:58:27 PM »
Emily – What a fascinating dream!

I feel your dream is portraying something special about how you relate to yourself. Sometimes the monkey is described as being thoughtless mischief maker, but I see something else in your dream. It is that ‘something else’ that has caused you to feel such strong feelings of dread and guilt. In fact there is a lot of love linking you with it and it to you. And I think it could bring tears if you recognise what part of you it is.

That you forgot the monkey shows a struggle between you and the small creature that was willing to keep up with you. It is, I believe, an ancient struggle that few people are aware of. It is the struggle that goes on in each of us between our animal self and our cultured, educated and often tortured mind. Yet it is not a war, but a simple request to be recognised, respected and given a place in your life.

It is a dramatic struggle involved in becoming a conscious and mature person. The struggle is in gradually emerging from the impulsive animal tendencies such as we see in social hierarchy, religious and political groups, one nation fighting another. So the monkey can depict your primal animal self that existed prior to developing self awareness. It can indicate the sexual and feeling conditions underlying your present socialised personality.

But the monkey is also very wise with an instinctive wisdom millions of years old. If you can meet it and help it arise out of its instinctive responses, it gives you wisdom in exchange for the love it gives you. After all, what is human life but a gradual emergence from the processes of life, and often a complete denial of our ancient heritage?

This example gives a view of this:
Quote
From there I began to see human caring. It was as if I felt myself to be one of a group of monkeys. Within the group life was lived out of ones inner simplicity. But certain aged monkeys could attain a different level of awareness. They were called the White Haired Ones. I could become a White Headed One, but I would have to die in the sense of relinquishing my personal desires, fears and goals. Was I willing to do this? It had elements of risk. It might mean the end of life as I now lived it. But I had to take the risk. I was willing to die.
 
I became a White Hair. I saw from the vision of the White Haired. It was so simple, so organic and life-filled. I am only a finger of life, only a tiny part of the organic, living, whole. I am only one member of a large group. Life, through its living organism, cares. In the group of monkeys, if the mother dies, a sister or brother cares for the baby. Each individual is only one cell in the whole body. If that person goes away or dies, life, in the form of another person, cares for the children, or fills the needs of the adult.

My concern is not simply for my own children, any child is the children of all of us. It is only our bodies that were their doorways, but they are the children of Life. As a White Head, I must concern myself not just for the care of my own children, but any that may be near me. That is the simple wisdom of Monkey.

Dream Interpretation / Re: I dreamed I ate a small black dog
« on: November 20, 2010, 10:20:27 AM »
Lionheart69 – Okay here we go:

Kitchen shows your creativity and efforts to care for yourself or others, so a nourishing of oneself. In particular to basic needs.

Dog is the basic instinctive needs and ways of expressing.

Food suggests taking in and absorbing something you need. And in the dreams something you enjoyed eating but afterwards felt bad about.

So overall I feel this is to do with getting your most basic needs – needs such as thing you hunger for such as love, sex, companions – but there is something you feel bad about the way you get these needs. Maybe because the needs are too 'animal' for your liking.

Dream Interpretation / Re: my ex
« on: November 19, 2010, 02:32:54 PM »
Jaclyn – This is about the confusion you live in inside you. It is usually childlike emotions such as jealousy, feeling you are unloved or deserted that causes such misery.

If you can admit that these are feelings that babies or young children have, and you are still at that age emotionally, it will help you leave such things behind. If you can admit that it gives you a chance to grow out of it. If you can’t shift from being a child emotionally your love life will be a continual torture.

Most of us have not actually matured to the point of being capable of love. The very roots of love arise out of the incredible survival drives of a baby totally desiring its mother to give utter and complete attention to it. Without that attention, millions of years of survival in harsh environments, tell the baby it will die. So it holds on to that connection with its mother or carer with every jungle trick it knows. These includes tantrums, acting out sickness, sulking, anger, emotional cut off to see if the parent still cares; and if you haven’t outgrown those, then you will use them in your adult relationships. In detail this means that you will have all those exotic and erotic feelings about the one you love as long as they don’t dare look at another person, and as long as they fulfil all your needs of dependency, fear, and all the other hang-ups we don’t really admit to ourselves.

Look around – most of us do not grow up. I know this story very deeply, because it happens to be mine. I fell in love with a woman and was like five year old child. It took a long time to grow up – but it was worth it.

Well Midlander – Quite a story.

I have to go with my intuition with this one, and bring it down to its basics. As you say there is a struggle between the dark haired and the grey haired you. And the strong murderous feelings centre around killing the cat – at least trying to. And the fact that you poison it and then try to strangle it says to me that the struggle is about killing out the grey cat. Blue Persian is a sort of grey. And so I sense that this is about an attempt to kill the older/aged type of sexual feelings –natural for an older cat. So quite a struggle goes on, especially if you are very attached to your physical appearance as it was in the past. Wow – all that murderous rage. I think this piece from a feature might explain a lot: http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/nightmares/#menopuase

Hi Again - It could be, as my responses are based  on what I know from past dreams, usually ones I have explored. But such dreams are usually a sign of feeling unloved - i.e. your BF doesn't love you because he disappeared without a word.

So if there is any truth in this it should slightly after your dreams and the theme should emerge more clearly.

Hollywood01 – It is interesting that you say you had a horrible feeling in the stomach. You see our first connection, a loving one hopefully, was through our umbilical cord. And the umbilical is not simply the basic connection to our infant body, but also our growing sense of self. See http://dreamhawk.com/relationship-sex/surviving-love-and-relationships/#lifelinelove

The type of dream you describe is typical of being separate from your parent to carer at an early age. This could have been a visit to a hospital, a premature birth; or even being exposed to the feeling of not being wanted.

Whatever the cause you are feeling the pain of being cut off from the one you love. And as is usual in these cases you can now feel it because you have begun to trust your boy friend. That is when we let out such pains – if we dare. Please do read lifeline of love.

As you suggested, your need is to stay with your boyfriend. Wishing you well on your journey.

Questions about dreams / Re: astral projection
« on: November 14, 2010, 11:46:26 AM »
WellWorld – Yes, it is usually during sleep that we experience astral projection. As for is it real, that is a very difficult one to answer, because in a dream we can create anything we like.

I think it would be better to ask the question, “Was I experiencing the physical world, or was I dreaming of my living room?” Of course your dreams are real at their own level and their own dimension, but they seldom at the same time connect with the physical world.

Sometimes you can tell because when you are not locked in the body you may feel as if you have awoken for the first time, with wonderful clear mind and energy. Then when you are back with your body you may feel heavy as if you are tired. So maybe you did experience projection. It is good to seek confirmation in some way, such as someone else hiding something behind somewhere, then if you find it is a confirmation.
