Victor,
The context of the dream is a white sand desert. A desert is a place that is vast and does not a lot of possibilities to it. In this place of no possibilities you are told what house is your. This means you are told who you are and that you are a pig.
You do the right thing by blowing up the place with an earthquake. What you need is a place in your mind where there are a lot of positive possibilities, you decide the best one for yourself, and you take advantage of what is available.

Alistair,
This dream represents one of the most important principles in human development and transformation. Except for cases of abuse the basic principle of helping others to change in the world is to be attracted to their positive, beautiful qualities and then blow them up in the way they are acknowledged. All of the research indicates how powerful this strategy is. At the same time as blowing up positive it is important to let go of the negative. It is not like you don’t see them, but that you ignore them and bring out the positive. Change is about bringing out the positive and letting go of the negative. In situations that are abusive it requires the cutting off of the relationship and being really detached, but in every other relationship it is seeing the person as you did in the dream.
Great metaphor!!
Last night, I had a dream about a girl I really like at the moment. She was covered in icing-like makeup, blue and silver, as well as things similar to hundreds and thousands, only larger, in blue and white. She was sitting down, and I picked her up in princess style and started kissing her. Her mouth became smaller, but this didn’t seem to be that important. In all, I still found her beautiful no matter how ugly she would have looked in real life, and really enjoyed the kiss. This dream is really strange, and I cannot find any parallels to help interpret it. Thanks for any help.

Jane,
The purpose of this dream is for you learn how to be comfortable in the visualization process even when things are foggy in your life. Fog means that the vision is not clear. That you are in awe of it is fantastic because it suggests that the circumstances in the outer world on not ready for you to be clear. The fog allows you time to do more inner work. One day the fog will clear and then you will be asked to jump into a lot of action.
Hi Richard, I went to sleep last night being really tired. I struggled to fall asleep but did some how. I know I didn’t sleep very deeply, but I remember my dream vaguely. I was sitting in what seemed like a big penthouse/studio room, with huge windows filling the whole of the one side of the wall from the ceiling to the ground. outside of the window was a big city city but the view was a bit foggy. I found it to be very beautiful in the dream and I started getting my drawing book and I drew the view. I kept drawing untill the sun came shining through the fog. I was in awe of that view. I also remember feeling somewhat sadness as I drew. I woke up as I got off of my chair where I sat and drew.
I had a dream that Me and my friend Luke were tackling a kid (who I didn’t know) in my yard. It was a game between the three us. Luke’s dad comes over holding two glasses of tea. Luke’s dad tells us not to play this game because it is dangerous. I the shoved him and one of the glasses spilled. Lukes dad then went to his white car and drove off. Then another adult came over and told us the same thing as Luke’s dad.
The problem you have is very common with young people. When you believe that you are involved in innocent albeit somewhat rough play, certain adults jump right in and try to get you to stop. So the question the dream presents to you is why they would do that? The reason that they would do this is that they do not want you to have really positive relationships with other young people. This is because when you have lots of really great relationships with others, you become uncontrollable which is something that they can’t stand to happen. When you shove Luke’s father because of being angry, then he drives off in his white car. The white car signifies that he believes he is right and you are wrong. As soon as you get angry and shove, then the adults believe they are right. In their eyes you are morally wrong for being angry.
The key for you is to keep finding positive ways to play and get closer to your friends because there is nothing better that you will ever have in your life than close friends. Close friends allow you to do almost anything. When you see that having close friends is a threat to adults, then you can let go of the anger and realize that it is the adults who are weak and not you because you have something that they don’t have.
Thank you for the reply. I do understand the fear now and I also know that the fear is made up by a few fears I have altogether. I will be reaching deep in my self to find my fears and see where it leads me. I will continue to learn how to build bridges between people.
Jane,
The key is learning how to build bridges between people. It doesn’t have to be in a career. It is just going to be a gift you have. What happens with prophecy is that the person doing the reading picks up energy that comes from you and then that energy generates a picture about the future.
Futures also change as people change so most prophecies are based upon projections of current reality. As we know from history especially the 20th century is that there are a lot of professions that have come into being that never existed before.
If you develop your spiritual energy, then you will guided about how to use it. The fear you experienced in the dream is also something of a guide because when you feel fear in the work at anytime it just means that you need to go in and do some change work. When you do that, you actualize new potentiality and that will open up new doors. Fears are actually big blessings if you know how to change them.
Richard, Thank you for clearing it up for me. I’m thinking that my abilities lay in the direction of my career? (which I haven’t figured out yet.) Being 11 years old I attended church to where we had a prophet on that particular day, I was selected from the crowd by chance I think, the Prophet said that he sees great things coming from me, I’d be the Social Worker with the biggest Children’s Home right in the heart of africa, teaching and empowering each culture in their own language and believes. He also said that my then Husband will be a pastor. as from how he described what he saw, he said that my husband and I sat on the couch and saw my husband preaching on tv. I didn’t think much about that at that time, I only started to think about it recently, I do come from a Children’s home myself as a child and I have been in a few foster homes as well. I had great people helping me to get where I am now. I do feel like I’m not where I should be every single day. I have fought hard to be where i am today but I am not yet where I am supposed to be as it seems from the dream. I still don’t know exactly what to think of that vision or prophecy as I am in a relationship with a long time friend and he’s not studying to be a pastor. I also don’t have the resources and funding to study Physiology or Social Worker. How ever I do now try and work as hard as I can so that I someday can study, draw and write books.
This is for Gyspeach,
This dream has to do with how you may unconsciously be hurting your children. What you have to do to solve the dream is to support your children rather than cut them. I am guessing that this is what has happened to you, but I may be wrong so feel absolutely free to disagree. Your first marriage did not go well so when you got to your second marriage, you wanted your new husband to accept and love the children from your first marriage so you tried to things so that he would bond with them. Those things which tend to be more critical in nature are like cutting them and hurting their potential.
What they need is for you to focus on their positive potential and their good qualities, to see the best in them at all times and to constantly acknowledge it to them. That is the key. If you do this to everyone in your family, everything will work out really well.
It does not mean that they shouldn’t have boundaries and discipline. It just means that you need to see them as amazing and tell them all the time.
It is an appropriate response to be troubled in the dream because it allows you to take responsibility for changing the way you do things with them. When you change, they benefit.
This is for Jane’s dream,
What is important to remember Jane is that the context of the dream is creating stronger friendships. When you have stronger bonds with your best friend, it will naturally generalize to everyone else in your life. It is strictly on the qualitative level. You must be gifted in some way that requires you to get into deeper relationships.
The fear is there only as a barrier to developing your strong gifts. If you get through the fear, then what you will be able to do in your life will expand immensely. It is like you have a huge potential only the barrier is a fear that you have to go through. Almost every fear is based on the way your mind protects itself rather than on the actual reality. It is like you have to let go of an illusion that your mind creates so that you can be more of who you are meant to be. The angelic presence is not a real person but a spiritual presence that is other worldly. The spiritual world, by its nature, is always in protection of people who are doing positive motives. They only abandon us when we turn to the darkness.
The fountain is a positive symbol for water. It is like the bubbling up of positive relationships. Luke leaves because you no longer need protection. You can go on your own positive abilities. The storm is the fear that really negative relationships will destroy the bridge that you are meant to create between people. A train is a symbol of being single minded like having a single track. The track you are on is building bridges of really positive bonds between people.
You should have plenty of work to do for the rest of your life in South Africa. What might help is to remember that the fear is mostly made up illusion in your mind, blown up to protect. The context is where you live which is South Africa so it is natural to have that kind of fear but it is not based on actual experience or true reality. The reality is that you have natural gifts deposited in you that can build huge bridges between people and it is for you to develop them and use them.
Richard, This part of the interpretation is a bit troublesome to me as I don’t see what it is that I’m trying to let go of.
“The dream shows you what you are trying to let go of and the solution at the same time. The fear is that everything is going to go dark, something really bad is going to happen to you, like being caught in an earthquake or heavy storm.”
I had a dream where I cut two eldest children my eldest daughter seemed to of died at first, I had cut her chest but then she reappeared later in the dream struggling to breath and I patched her up with plasters holding her wound closed. My other daughter that I had cut across her throat I quickly held her wound closed and then did the same with the plasters and patched her up. My younger two children weren’t in the dream. My husband was, he is the step dad to my two eldest. I’m very concerned about this dream.
Thank you so much for your reply as I was very unsettled. I how ever did tell my friend about this dream and I am not sure to tell him about the response. I only put the dream out there as he said it was very interesting and that he wished he knew how to interpret it for me. Beside that, should I be seeking out who Luke is, the protector? And why would Luke stay behind when I take the TRAIN with my friend? What’s with the fountain? And the sea crashing into the bridge? I am in a relationship with someone. (not my friend – he is miles away). I literally wake up to his sunset. The intensity I felt waking up realizing that my friend wasn’t really there, it gave me a knot in the gut.
Jane,
What is so interesting in this dream is that the dream begins and ends with having a conversation with your best friend. This means that the purpose of the dream is for you to deepen your relationship with him.
The key is when you try to go to ladies room. Going to the ladies room means that you are trying to let go of something inside of you. The dream shows you what you are trying to let go of and the solution at the same time. The fear is that everything is going to go dark, something really bad is going to happen to you, like being caught in an earthquake or heavy storm.
The dream says not to worry because no matter what happens you are being looked after by angel like energy. This means that you can trust that things are going to work out well in your life. When you begin to get fearful, you can remind yourself that you are being protected and helped. Then you can be confident about going forward in the relationship.
Hi there, This is a very intense dream I had this past Saturday… I have no Idea what it means but it leaves me unsettled.
It started out as something just like a normal day would be for me. A Normal Saturday actually. Except for you (My Best Friend From Australia (His a Guy) and I’m like in South Africa (A Girl) being there. There were loads of people. It seemed like we were in a town, narrow streets, shops all very close to each other, nearly over populated. Definitely not SA. But some where kinda like a gathering of a concert or event.
We were talking about the things in the coffee shop, laughing about people running after their dogs etc. I got up to go to the ladies and as I entered the bathroom, it no longer was a bathroom. Everything was dark, wind was blowing really hard making that whistling sound. I ran to what appeared to be a brick wall window, like in some weird castle thing. I looked out to see where i was and how I can escape but looking down there was nothing but cars as small as ants. Clouds were closing in too. I ran back and forth on the floor, but as I run to every window, it closes up right before I can reach it. I started to panic. Felt the building shaking like a mini earthquake and I knew that I was going to have to jump. I ran as fast as I could to the only window still open, and jumped. Luke ( the angel – not the typical angel figure with wings and all, he looked normal just light up) grabbed my arm and pulled me to the building. He didn’t speak but he showed me in the direction that I had to go to get back to where I will be safe. He stayed 3 steppes behind me all of the time. I walked against the wall on the outside of the building until I saw a breach.
I crossed the breach with Luke still behind me. And I just remember wondering where everyone’s gone to. Where you were at. How I got there. It was a mess.
I remember looking down from the side of the breach seeing the sea crashing into the breach with force. Like the sea was angry. I blinked a few times and found myself in the street of the coffee shop. Luke still behind me. I walked slowing down towards the coffee shop. It was blown to pieces. Luke showed me to walk straight ahead where I found you ( Him, My friend from Australia) sitting by the fountain. Unaware of the devastation around us. He said that He’s been waiting for me. We got on a train. Luke stayed behind.
On the train we just continued talking about everything we usually talk about.
There was a deep intensity throughout the dream. Which is the thing that unsettled me the most. It really felt real. The talking part where we were talking face to face. Everything was distinctive. His (My friend) voice mostly. Which is odd as we don’t exactly talk over a phone call often. Anyway. It unsettled me.
can anyone maybe help???
Anushka,
The teeth mean that you can not process new ideas or thoughts because of the teeth falling out . This probably means that your uncle was mean in the way of criticism and put downs or something like that keeps your mind from being able to think very clearly. So the process is to let go of criticism and then go for remembering really positive things about yourself.
Thank you so much! I also just remembered another part. At one point in the same dream, I was eating something and all my teeth were rotting and falling out. Each time I would think its a bone, it would actually be my tooth. I remembered this part while I was brushing my teeth. Is this significant too?
Anushka
Anushka,
What this means is that while your uncle is no longer living, you are still caring the memory of the negative effect he had on you because you never got to resolve it when you were living. What you need to do is to go through a process of forgiveness with him which is the virtue that would have allowed you to deal with him when he was alive. When you do this work, it will have a profound effect on him as well as yourself. You should take this seriously and actually do the work of learning how to forgive. It iwll make a huge huge difference in everything about your life.
