Dream Interpretation / Re: Young Man Seeking Shaman
« Last post by Tony Crisp on October 10, 2022, 04:36:24 PM »

I said to my soul, be still and wait without hope 

For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love 

For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith 

But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting. 

Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought: So, the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.

I do believe the moment of darkness/violence happened last night.  While it wasn't 3 days later it was 12 days passed which is both a multiple of 3 and a number that also reduces to 3.  I just hope the dream continues to be prophetic and that enlightenment will ensue.

Aristocrates - I feel from ou dreams that in some way you are hiding from what you are. I know the feeling having once done the same thing. I experienced it like this - Early in the session I started having fantasies about being attacked. Each time it happened I put the fantasy aside because I couldn’t see why I would be having these feelings that I was being attacked.

There were a lot of images flowing into my mind also about the horror of life in general - babies abused, children murdered, men and women shot or tortured. The fantasies returned and several men attacked me and were trying to drag me off somewhere against my will.

As the fantasy progressed, or replayed, I began to realise that it only appeared like an attack because I was resisting the process. In fact the men wanted to show me something that was important to me. They were being quite gentle, but because of my resistance, it felt to me like an aggressive act. I then let myself be carried off by the men, and began to feel as if a great chunk of my nature has been held back since childhood because of anxiety. In fact I had been frightened to ‘live’ this part of me. I had held so much of myself back throughout most of my life that I constantly felt there was something I was missing and had to search for. But it wasn’t an external thing - it was the me I had denied. B.M.

I don't know if tha was just me sounding off - so back to your dream. Floating may appear in dreams where the dreamer is getting close to someone of the opposite sex and some aspect of sexual feeling is present. Or else it can be an experience of awareness expanding beyond the usual boundaries of the persons beliefs or of their physical senses. Also it often happens in flying dreams or in lucid dreaming.

But in fact it leads to you having more inclusive view of something, the group of hawks. I see that as a realisation of you many potentials not being actively used. A while ago you dreamt of a small tree. I added to that - The tree represent what you have grown of yourself in this life. It shows you that yes you have done needs some work on yourself but it is still a 'small tree'. It doesn't matter, we are all small to start with, but the tree can be a sort of place that is a 'home' in your inner world - i.e. a place that is your real entry into the larger life. This dream show it as dead, relating to you several potentials.

College usually suggests an activity to do with higher learning. You will have to explore that to find excatly what it refers to. Maybe it is something you are already involved with.

A great promise is made - in three days. You must see if anything like that happened, but you have traumas the my need to be dealt with  the gunner. This suggest that any feelings of aggression may have been holding you back

Dear Ana – I do not know how much you understand dreams. So I am giving you ‘the works’. I do this because maybe you haven’t realised that this a GREAT dream. One that brings you three great blessing.

What is a dream? “It seemed to me that a dream is like a huge great key that dangles in front of people – a personal experience that can unlock doors of experience and insight. It hangs in front of people but often because of their religion, or belief, they do not take the key to meet themselves. It is the key to their inner life. What do their political, scientific or religious views say about this key? There is so much to learn about dreams and how to approach, explore and benefit from them. To understanding your dream, you need to realise that the images in our dreams are just emotions, thoughts, fears, traumas, ideas, and feelings projecting out of you and appearing as images, people, or scenes outside you on the screen of your mind.

 The one most people identify with is the three dimensional physical world of the body. There a lot of rules to learn in this world; when very young we learn not to touch hot things; not to rush out into a road with moving cars. But as adults we have learnt not to step out into space while at a height because we will fall and have a major injury or die. The second dimension is totally different and is experienced in dreams or deep mental activity. It will surprise many people to realise that in this dimension you have no physical body, although most people are so locked into thinking that their reality is their body, that they create a dream image of themselves. But that is not all they carry with them, because they believe so much that everything is ruled by their body life and experience, they are also terrified of falling in dreams, they believe they can be torn apart by savage animals, also they frighten the life out of themselves with dream images of demons or even the devil, or are horrified of being shot or raped, etc.

Another feature of this dream and imagination dimension is that it often deals with timelessness. Babies and young children all live in timelessness/eternity.  So we already had it but lost it in the maze of words and thinking we created.

But whenever we dream its images are not like real life, because a dream is nothing like outer life where things could hurt you, but is an image like on a cinema screen, so that even if a gun is pointed at you and fired it can do no damage – except if you run in fear; so, all the things that scare you are simply your own fears projected onto the screen of your sleeping mind. See https://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/dimensions-of-human-experience/

It is also important to realise that every image, every scary or terrifying thing, is taken place inside you, in your mind, as you sleep. This means that every awful animal, every scary thing, or person, is created out of your own fears and must not be seen as outside you as happens in waking awareness. The problem is that we are often scared of or frightened of experiencing our emotions and so they confront us in our dreams. Avoiding them or controlling them is like running away from oneself – there is no escape. See Life’s Little Secrets – Opening to Life

Also, a dream is a communication between what has no recognised form – our core self – as far as our personality or reasoning mind is concerned, that is millions of years old and as formed while we were in the animal level of our evolution. So, to do this it uses images of people, things, and animals, as well as scenes that we might understand if we explore what we associate with the dream images. For instance, a man dreamt of a tarot card reader. But in understanding how dreams work the tarot card reader represent his own intuition, because that is what he associates with being psychic.

To understand this please read - A single cell, which is a seed from which all life forms evolved from, doesn’t become old or die because it is immortal, for it keeps dividing and doesn’t die. In dividing it constantly creates copies of itself, but as it does so it gathers new experience, it changes what is copied, so becomes the ‘seed’ for multi-cellular organism. We all started from the original one cell, and we, you and I, are the result of gathered experience.

No plant or creature grows from a dead seed, and each living seed carries within it all the past gathered from all its forebears. So, the seed in your mother’s womb is as old as and even older than human kind, and you carry that wisdom or memories in you. But in this life you developed a new brain, and the memories, education and programming you gathered this time are what you built your personality from, but beneath that is a very ancient self.

Finding this very ancient self, hidden as it is by all your personal thinking and opinions, you find you are free from all the painful emotions, suicidal urges and personal hurts. To explore it see  https://dreamhawk.com/approaches-to-being/opening-to-life/ 

Okay so now to your dream – the desert can suggest loneliness – literally being deserted. It can also point to feelings you have of that you lack emotion or satisfaction, that there is no creativity or growth in your life; or you are a dry intellectual. Dry intellectualism; social isolation or sexual barrenness.
In some dreams it shows you feeling social isolation. In some women’s dreams it indicates whether the fear or reality of sexual barrenness. But the desert can be a warm and quiet place for a retreat from the ‘noise’ of work and society. Which one are you?

The figurine of Saint Jude Thaddeus. This suggest inner work or development you have achieved by your own ‘spiritual’ efforts. Remember the formless core to communicates with our every day self uses images of people, things, and animals, as well as scenes that we might understand. So Saint Jude may represent the real spiritual centre that you are ready to meet. Here is a man meeting something similar: “I was not in any way asleep, or in a trance. My evaluative rational self was keenly observing all that happened. This part is difficult to describe, as I feel incapable of communicating the power of the event. The man was ordinary in appearance, but as he got near to me it seemed as if a great force surrounded him that penetrated me completely. The force was love, buffeting me like waves I could barely tolerate. The man stood before me and took my hands and said, ‘You are my disciple.’

But he, in some strange paradoxical way, was myself. He was the cosmic mystery I have been born as. He was the very best of myself I had killed, murdered. He was my youthful sexuality I had suffocated to death, helped by the tenets of a religion that was supposed to be teaching his way, the way of life, the way of recognising one’s cosmic link.”

He had met Christ, his own cosmic mystery we are all been born as.
That was your first blessing.

In front of it I saw a hole. This is the second blessing.  For many saints discover such holes that fill with water. Look up the shrine at Lourdes and others. Dear Ana you discovered the water that once drank you will never thirst again. But to know that you must enter your dream by using https://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/peer-dream-work/ 


The rainbow seemed crooked on it's right side but curved perfectly on the other half. I wondered why the rainbow was formed that way then went on my way. The third blessing.

At the core of each of us is an amazing potential. Throughout history religions have been built around connecting with or recognizing this potential. The reason being that it holds the possibilities of enormous transformation of body and mind. From it can emerge healing of illness and enormous change and enlargement of your mind. The action or release of this core potential into your everyday life is shown in dreams by anything shining or deeply beautiful, and the rainbow is such a symbol. But your rainbow is not fully formed. Suggesting that there is more inner work to de done. See https://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/features-found-on-site-2/

Dream Interpretation / A desert with a saint in it.
« Last post by Tony Crisp on October 05, 2022, 12:04:10 PM »
Hello Tony!
My name is Ana, I have visited your website from time to time for many years trying to figure out my dreams but I've never registered or wrote a comment. I tried registering today but the website wouldn't let me for some reason. Anyway I wanted to share a dream a had last night if that's ok:

I remember being in the middle of a desert. Nothing but sand and rocks. I was thirty and seemed lost. I looked down at the ground and found a figurine of Saint Jude Thaddeus placed in between some small rocks. Kinda looked like a small pedestal or something. On it's right side almost behind him was another small figurine of the Virgin Mary. My attention went back to Saint Jude's figurine. In front of it I saw a hole. I dug into the hole with my hands and water started coming out of the ground and filling the hole. I drank from it enough to subside my thirst. I remember thinking of leaving the figurines where I found them just in case someone else found themselves lost in the desert like me. I looked towards the distance and saw a sandstorm. I wondered if it was coming my way. I wasn't scared, just wondering. Then I saw clouds above the sandstorm and what seemed like rain. I remember seeing the sandstorm change color as if it was wet. I realized that the rain helped calm the sandstorm to some degree. Then I looked to the left of the sandstorm and saw a rainbow. The rainbow seemed crooked on it's right side but curved perfectly on the other half. I wondered why the rainbow was formed that way then went on my way.

I don't really pray to any Saint so seeing the figurine of Saint Jude kinda got me thinking and wanting to know what this dream means. When I was a child I used to live with my grandmother and she had a figurine of Saint Jude as well as other saints and the virgin mary. She is very religious to this day but I'm not. I pray but in my own spiritual way.

In my waking life my sons' mother is black.  The practice here is to also categorize them as such(black) although I object to that. 

I felt compelled to lead with that.  Perhaps I should've led with a thank you.  Thank you for your response.  I had a rather vivid dream two nights ago.  I'll try and relay as much as I can remember.  I remember floating above the ground and even high enough to look down and see a group of Hawks perched on a dead tree.  On the ground was a group of people all men of similar age and appearance.  I glided down and one introduced himself as "College".  I'm not certain if he's the one who said these things but I was told that in three days a moment of darkness would be followed by a great light.  It is curious that he introduced himself as College as I was on a college campus in the dream I mentioned before.  And then I came back to reread your response and the last line begins with "the darkness shall be the light". 

Also juxtaposed to this dream was an episode where my cousin is attacking a gunner.  He is repeatedly struck by the gunner.  Not the bullets but it's the recoiling of the gun that repeatedly impales him until I look to see he has fallen and where there was a face is a white skull.  In waking life he did shoot me with a pellet gun when I was maybe 6 or 7. He would've been 8 or 9.  So maybe that segment of the dream stemmed from that childhood event. 

Once again, thank you for your response.

Thanks Romanov - I am not keeping an eye on the dreams posted here much now, because I have become intensely involved in trying to communicate by writing the many new things I am meeting in life.

Anyway, my feelings are you are actively still growing.

Tony,

Giving feedback after ages. Because real life happened in between ;D

I resigned two months ago from this job, as I found this boss to be rather unprofessional.  Also found him to be a bit of a sleaze ball.  He might have intrigued me earlier on, but the fact that I make his physical harassment attempt unsuccessful, draws to the point, that I realize he is a sleazeball.  The last scene probably shows, how proud I am of my action, when I look over my shoulder.

Thank you, as always for making things clearer.

Love
Romanov

"I call it a dream but I had woken up so was fully conscious though I was dreaming."

You must have been exploring the mental possibilities we have to arrive at breaking through to waking lucid dreaming. One of the huge advantages of this is that you can be in touch with the ability for your body to tell you what it wants to remain healthy. In your case to stop poisoning yourself by drinking alcohol. See Waking Lucid Dreaming - https://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/the-waking-lucid-dream/#Waking

Another example: I was in a hospital. Doctors and nurses were about. I was led to realise my lungs were filling up with mucous or phlegm. The doctor said to me it wouldn't affect me in a short term, but if I kept on smoking I would feel the effect badly in later life. The dream was so vivid I decided then and there to give up smoking. B.K.

I had an amazing dream. Well I call it a dream but I had woken up so was fully conscious though I was dreaming.

I had never experienced anything like this before, but I was aware that my stomach was talking to me and i heard it in my ears. I saw myself swallowing alcohol and my stomach cried out, except that my stomach couldn't speak so it just made anxious noises which I felt them too. I was very surprised by the dream, and decided never to drink it again.
