Dreams For Peace 
I am having weird dreams of one of my female friends, in my dream we kiss and things go further, we decide that we will only see each other when my husband is away at work, her kids are happy about the situation but my family doesn’t know about anything, then one time I tell my husband about what’s going on and he is all for it. What I would like to know is why am I dreaming this and should I tell my friend about it, though I am scared that it will ruin our friendship
Dear Sharlene,
When you have a dream like this, it means that some type of positive energy is being called upon inside of you like compassion, caring, nurturing, or connecting. In real life all positives are neither feminine nor masculine, but we use the classification because women are the first educators of children and hence, need a lot more nurturing qualities.
If you decide which of these energies you need, then you can focus and develop it.
My ex lover said he needed to do something productive to help people made me feel in the dream that he was being productive and coming with ideas and projects with his friend but I wasn’t. We where inside a clinic but that clinic had a surgery room. I laid down on the clinic bed and would just hear him but went to sleep just ignored whatever he had to say. But, woke up in the dream because he was doing a surgery with his friend on my 5 year old son and came out from the surgery room with my sons nose on his hand and blood was everywhere and said he failed with the surgery.my son was still alive but I took it that he no longer had a nose and he was going to die because he would no longer breathe . so I came out of the clinic to the parking running and crying when he gave me the news he would just stare at me when he told me if his failed surgery. On the way out I saw several doctors and nurses looking at me because I came out crying with my entire soul because of what happened to my son.
Dear Anonymous,
What this indicates is that when you were in relationship with your ex-lover he was psychologically doing surgery on your own inner child (your inner 5 year old) that killed your ability to breathe and hence killed your spirit. The dream is asking you to heal your inner child by giving it a lot of breathing space so that it can be playful and curious and fun. Right now when you try to go into the state of playfulness you are fearful of having it killed. The goal is for you to let go of the fear and then become more playful.
dreamt brushing my teeth with a knife and Colgate. It seemed to normal doing so, as I spit and look up to the mirror in front of me I saw a man standing behind me, I quickly turned praying but I could see the man disappearing into the shower glass then I woke up
Dear Felicia,
As you are doing a normal activity (brushing your teeth) in an abnormal way (using a knife), you get fearful of being assaulted by a man. This means that when you are trying to do things in your life, you are fearful of being assaulted (probably verbally) if you do things in a slightly unusual or creative way. This fear would cause you to stop acting creatively or experimentally in your life. The goal is to let go of the fear so that you can really go for a much more interesting and creative approach to life.
A few days back I had a rather freaky dream. I don’t remember too much of it, but I remember being dressed in some kind of robe, like a golden kimono or something, in a dark room. And then, I lied down on the floor, surrounded by candles on the floor, and stars floating around, and closed my eyes. When I reopened them, I was in my school biology class (I finished the school years ago), and was wearing my regular uniform. My classmates told me that I was absent for at least 2 months, saying that I got involved with some kind of cult that worships aliens. Then I looked at my textbooks and saw a lot of stuff that might be related to it. Pictures of UFOs, the pyramids, drawings of aliens. When I got up and prepared to leave, a girl came up to me, and said that I wasn’t gone physically, but I was gone mentally, as if to imply that I acted like a zombie and didn’t react to any outside influence.
Then when I got home, I wrote about what happened to my online friend, and in response, he said that he may have COVID-19. Which got me so scared that I woke up.
Dear Arty,
This dream says that basically you have a tendency to space out when things get really challenging mentally as if you are taking biology. When you are spaced out, you have a tendency to be fearful about life. What this dream says is basically that if you put your feet on the earth and just work really hard that you can achieve whatever you want. The need is for solid determination not being in outer space.
Last nights dream I was picking up my stepsons who are older teenagers. When I got to their house one of them went to the bathroom and I followed him and on the mirror there was 3 large marijuana joints -different sizes – rolled in saran wrap and taped or something to the mirror. He was talking about how he was excited to be home and ready to smoke them. I walked out of there and into the living room where his mom and her wife were. The moms asked me to come outside and help them hide ID cards. They had a game where they would take your ID card and hide it and then you would find it. I helped them hide one in a car air vent and noticed they lived two doors down from our church- in waking life they live over 1,000 miles away from me-. Then they had these two large yoga balls rolling out of their fenced in yard and across the street into a parking lot. I went to go chase the balls and people were complaining how the moms always let the balls roll all over the neighborhood and the moms were mocking the neighbors. Once I got the yoga balls I was on my way back to their yard when a herd of elephants came out of nowhere – in the suburbs – and started chasing me. I ran into an alleyway and back to their yard and was untouched and the herd carried on into town.
Dear Anonymous,
The problem presented in the dream is that the two moms do not have any boundaries. They play the game in life of hiding who they truly are (spiritually) so that they can do as they please. It causes the stepsons to feel like they have to zone out of life (marijuana). The interesting part of the dream is the part about the elephants. It basically says that if you try to deal with the situation that is presented by the two moms, it will be like a herd of elephants chasing. It puts you in a state of fear of being overpowered. To solve the dream you have to be like a big elephant (even a herd). It is not that you have to be trampling over people, but that you can be so empowered so that you can have really strong boundaries in your life. This is what you are called on to develop. When you are like a herd of elephants inside, no one messes with you. It turns the moms into mice.
Weeks ago I had this odd dream that I was at my grandmothers house with a friend and there was an egg sitting on the counter. I thought it was odd that the egg was there so I picked it up but I dropped it and it cracked a little. I then got a sandwich bag and cracked the egg open inside the bag. What came out was a tiny baby chic still in the sac. Then once the egg was all the way cracked the baby chic started to grow into a full size baby chic. This freaked me out and I dropped the bag on the ground. When I turned around to look back at the bag it was no longer a baby chic but now a baby turtle, walking on it two hind legs and was bloodyish like it still had afterbirth on it.
Dear Christine,
So you have a potential in you that is ready to come out. That is why the egg is there. That it cracked and eventually turned into a turtle means that you wouldn’t have developed this quality or had so many opportunities for this quality had it not been for what is happening in the current context of the planet. What you are developing along with billions of others is the virtue of patience. You are at last becoming a turtle. Believe when I say that it is one of the 5 most powerful virtues that you can have. Let it flourish inside of you. Patience is the virtue of stopping time or taking time out of the consideration for whatever you are doing. I had the opportunity to practice it yesterday in the grocery store waiting for a woman to decide which butter she wants. She was taking a long time so I said I am just going to practice patience. Then I was really relaxed because time no longer became an issue.
I had a vivid dream, I was a female hyena leading her clan to kill lions, it was powerful enough that I kept waking and falling asleep and the dream continued between them. I tend to play a game on the computer that involves this concept but never before have I dreamed of it not even once? In waking life I have a situation going on with someone slandering me, does this mean I will overcome them?
Dear Taylor,
What is unique about hyenas is that the cooperate so well to go after their prey. This means that you need to and are developing the capacity inside of you to lead others cooperatively to achieve what you want to achieve in life. It is not surprising that you are having this dream in the current global context because the capacity that you are developing is one that so many leaders do not have. That you are being slandered in real life is a test to the development of this ability. With a person who uses slander you should let go of the relationship and have strong boundaries with that person. But you are the type of leader that the world is calling for. You were born for this time in history.
Last night, i had a horrifying dream. Me and my brother went on a trip to the Mariana Trench which is the deepest trench in the world located in the pacific ocean. We went with our boat and stopped right above the trench. We decided to go for a swim. After we swam a bit i looked at my brother’s face i saw him in deep fear and he was trembling. I asked him whats wrong and he said turn around. I saw this huge black figure lurking in the distance behind me. As it came closer and closer we could see a big fin coming out of the water. Then we realized its a gigantic great white looking shark but bigger and more dark looking. We directly knew it was the prehistoric shark that went extinct millions of yeara ago which was called the Megaladon. When it was right next to us we knew we were already dead but it just passed by us and disappeared in the distance. After that i woke up. Does this mean anything?
Dear Anonymous,
The deep fear you have is that you are going to be seriously attacked by someone who is shark-like. Because of having been attacked in the past in some way, now your mind has made the fear even bigger as if it were a megaladon. Sharks mean that you need the virtue of really attacking or courageously going after what you want to go for in life. It says that you are not going to get to where you want to go unless you dive in and go aggressively for what you want. The dream says that while your mind is fear, it is not going to be realized when you dive in.
All of this dream took place in an old residence of mine where I no longer live. I had a dream of a small dog grey in color with a small patch of white on it’s chin it looked like a shitz Zu or a dog that resembled that breed I don’t know whose dog it was but I know that in my dream I was dog sitting it and it was an unpredictable dog it was nice then it would turn and try to bite or snap and then all of a sudden it was bedtime and the dog was being nice and let me pet it and was kissing my hand and I picked it up and put it on the bed with me, then in the middle of the night I turned when I was sleeping and touched the dog with my hand and it growled under it’s breath and went back to sleep then when I woke up I saw the dog laying next to me and I pet it then it snapped at me, then I spoke gently to the dog and told it I wasn’t going to hurt it and I tried to pet it again and it accepted my petting then I woke up.
One of my favourite fictional cartoon characters (they are very kind, an ideal person) keeps showing up as my best friend in my dreams. They have showed up in every one of my dreams for the past two weeks, what does it signify or mean? Maybe I should mention that this character is sort of a comfort-character for me.
Dear Maddi,
The fictional cartoon character has the same qualities that your best friend. The dream is asking you to develop those qualities in yourself. In a sense you are attracted to having a friendship with that person because the person has those qualities. It is time in your life that you develop them for yourself so that they will always be inside and available to you.
Dear Gwen,
Dogs in dreams are symbols of friendliness and loyalty. Your dream represents the challenges of relationships that you are having or have had. The relationship is sometimes positive and loving and other times takes on the negative quality of a dog which is aggressiveness to protect itself. What you learned in the dream is that by being gentle and patient the dog lets go of its aggressiveness and becomes loving. It is a great lesson for your relational life. If the dog were seriously attacking and hurting you, then it would be a different story because then you would need to set serious boundaries, but it does not seem to be the case in this dream.
Just to give a little insight into my feelings at the moment so you might be able to interpret my dream better, at this point in my life, I feel like my best friend is growing distant and doesn’t seem to be around me a lot. I feel like my dream might have something to do with this. In the dream, I was with my best friend and there was going to be a huge sleepover at my house. I didn’t know any of the people there because my best friend had invited all of them and she has many social circles that I don’t hang out with. While preparing for this sleepover, she kept insulting me. For example, I was frantically helping her clean a lot of dust on the floor (I don’t know why I was frantic) and there was too much and it wasn’t going away. I could hear her behind me muttering about how useless and dumb I am. That is about the extent of my memory of this dream. There is also another part where my best friend asks someone where they are on the spectrum (sexuality wise), with her meaning that a 1 was straight and 10 was completely gay. I myself have been confused about my sexuality for a while, but in the dream I butted into the conversation and replied 9.
Dear Sanya,
In the dream you are feeling like you are not good enough for her, that she is thinking badly of you which is probably what is going through your mind right as she grows distant in real life. The most important thing to realize is that whatever is happening in your relationship with her is not coming from you or anything you did. It is all about her. There is nothing you can do about what she is going through that makes her feel that way. You can be confident that you are a good friend, and if she continues to grow distant, you will probably have to let her go. But you can be assured that a lot of other people will show up in your life.
My ex lover said he needed to do something productive to help people made me feel in the dream that he was being productive and coming with ideas and projects with his friend but I wasn’t. We where inside a clinic but that clinic had a surgery room. I laid down on the clinic bed and would just hear him but went to sleep just ignored whatever he had to say. But, woke up in the dream because he was doing a surgery with his friend on my 5 year old son and came out from the surgery room with my sons nose on his hand and blood was everywhere and said he failed with the surgery.my son was still alive but I took it that he no longer had a nose and he was going to die because he would no longer breathe . so I came out of the clinic to the parking running and crying when he gave me the news he would just stare at me when he told me if his failed surgery.

I had a dream where i was parkouring on rooftops and i suddenly was in a bad position in which i could fall to my death. Then i saw that my grip was getting worse by the second. I decided to jump and you would expect me to wake up before hitting the ground but instead i hit the ground and i did not die.. I didn’t even feel any pain. After that i told my parents i jumped off a rooftop and i felt invincible and thats how the dream ended.
Basically this dream is telling you that you can experiment and go for all kinds of new things in life. It is not saying to do parkour in a manner that is unsafe. It is saying that when you take risks in life and go for things, that you will land on your feet, which means that you will be ok.
Had a dream that I was taking a pregnancy test in the restroom. Saw urine and menstrual flow when taking the test that I said to myself why am I even taking this pregnancy test that means I’m not pregnant (In the dream I felt I was pregnant but kept denying it). Yet, still was curious to look at the results but can just see the urine through the pregnancy window with no lines. I saved that test regardless and later in the day I saw multiple lines appear on the pregnancy test (more than 2 in all directions) once more I tricked myself to believe that meant I wasn’t pregnant when internally I knew I was. Then my cousins mom saw that pregnancy test and said to me that meant I was pregnant but expecting twins. In the dream I was considering abortion if the guy I got pregnant from didn’t step up to be a father. In real life that doesn’t even cross my mind.
Dear Anonymous,
Being pregnant in a dream means that there is new positive energy being developed inside of you that wants to come out in the world and do positive things. In your case, you have twins, which means double the positive energy. You are blocking the new energy coming out probably because you are fearful that if you have it, then it will be so much responsibility that you are not ready for. What you can know is that every new energy that comes out in you that is positive, just makes you that much freer and able to do things so much easier. It is your current state that is limited. When you give birth to your new potential, you will be able to do so much more so much easier.
Last night I had this bizarre dream, please help me make sense of this. In real life I am in a serious relationship of 7 years. We have had our up and downs and taken a few “breaks” due to him cheating. We have made it past all the past betrayal and really seemed to be on solid footing and faithful to each other, however the resentment, bitterness, and anger from flaws is always pushing each of us to the edge.
Dream –
We were visiting my moms house and we broke up for whatever reason. He stayed at my moms house and I went over to the new neighbors house to meet them and say hello. The neighbor ended up being a very attractive man that I started something with and we hooked up. When I was with this other man I was very happy and feeling feelings I had not felt in some time. This man asked me to be his second wife. I said huh and he explained that he already had a wife who does as she pleases and they are not committed but when they are together in the same space they take the roles of husband and wife. I was confused by this and did not answer him on his question. He had been drinking and asked if I wanted to go bowling with his friends and him. I said yes and when we left to leave my real life bf (who i broke up with in the dream) saw me leaving from the window of my moms and waved. When I saw him I instantly felt very sad. I left anyways and when I was in this new guys car and my ex slipped his gun in there incase I needed it and told me to be safe. The new guys car was a super fancy speed car and he was driving kind of recklessly. I told him that I could dive on the way home if he wanted to and then I got M&M’s stuck on his seat and his friend was telling me was going to be mad, but when we got there I brushed the seat off then there was tons of money in bands, thousands of dollars. He took the money and we went to the place.
When we got to the place my real life boyfriend was there and then his 1st wife was also there. She came up to me all nice and gave me a hug and grabbed my breast and the new guy introduced me to her then I introduced him my ex. They shook hands and chatted for a bit before we ALL left together to go back to his house. I drove the car but it was really touchy and if I went left the car went right and visa versa. When I was pulling onto the road I almost hit another car but the other car drove around us. When we got back to his house he went inside with his wife. I stayed outside with my ex and started crying telling him that I missed him and I was sorry and i wanted to get back together. He said he did not know and this made me sad. So he went to my moms and I went to the new guys house to hang out with his wife, friends and him.
In the dream it felt like this new guy and us had been dating for some time because he had very strong feelings for me. I ended up ending things with him to go back to my ex (or in real life bf). He was so upset that I ended things. I went back to my ex and when I did time has passed and we were together and seemingly happy (much like we are today in real life). I was holding him and felt some of the old flame come back up. However, I did not feel like I really loved him but more less chose him because it was what I knew and I found myself thinking about the new guy I hooked up with often.
Dear Stephanie,
The problem in the dream results from not being able to reconcile two energies inside. You have one energy that wants to free and have more choice and another that wants to be committed and stay in a positive relationship. Inside of you right now there is a conflict between the two energies. It is as if you have to chose one or the other. So when you are with one as if you are with one guy, then miss the other energy and vice versa. What is important to remember is that you can have both, freedom and commitment, because they are both positive energies and positive energies are never in conflict with each other. It seems like you have some kind of guilt about having freedom and independence, probably inherited from your mom, since the dream starts in your mom’s house which represents herself. A really positive relationship is one where partners feel really close but also give each other a lot of space to pursue their own dreams and aspirations.
I had a nightmare last night (we’ve been in Corona lockdown for over a week, and distancing for 2 weeks beforw that)
Nightmare is…
Being trapped in an open topped pit, dug into the ground. There were cockroaches, nasty insects and snakes in there crawling over me.
It’s damp, and its dark and cold (it is night), and there is a little bit of mist on the ground above the pit, like in horror films.
There are sinister people who wear cloaks, walking around outside the pit stopping me leaving, and they are carrying burning flame torches, and its really frightening being trapped in the pit
Is this purely symbolic of the current situation, and should I be worried about it recurring tonight?
The worry state will reappear in the dream world for as long as worry is an issue for you. When you have more confidence in being able to free under all conditions, then the dreams will no longer be necessary. It is just information about where you need to grow internally.
Dear Anonymous,
No doubt Corona as exacerbated your tendency to feel trapped and then imagine all kinds of bad things happening. It is like your negative anxious mind takes over when you are confined. The way that our family deals with Corona is that we look for positive opportunities to help other people. Since you have a lot of imagined negative thoughts that do not have a lot of basis in reality, it means that you have a great ability to reach out and help others. The lockdown has put that on hold for you because you are used to being a lot freer. What you have to think about is that first and foremost freedom is an inner state rather than an outer one. It seems to be what Nelson Mandela learned in prison. He didn’t allow the prison to overcome him. He became freer. Freedom is a state of always looking for positive possibilities.
Last night i had a really weird dream. I was in my house and i was walking to go to my room and i saw the girl from the movie the ring idk if you’ve seen it or know it. So i saw her standing in the balcony facing me and I ignored it for some reason and continued my way to my room, before i reach my room she appeared infront of me and had a camera in her hand which she took a picture of me and when i saw the flash from the camera i woke up.. As u can see my English is kind of weird because its really hard to explain this dream but i would like to know what it means pls.
I just looked at the trailer of the movie. When she was there in the dream, was she afraid? Were you afraid? It makes a difference for what I can tell you.
I ignored her when i saw her at first but when she appeared infront of me and took a picture i got jump scared and woke up.. I think i was afraid.
Hi Anonymous,
Basically what I think is happening here is that when you are surprised by someone in fear, you become fearful as well. It is not uncommon because it is what happens to most people. The opposite is what you are going for, which is when there is a challenge that has dark implications, the virtue you need is courage. In that case you have to be able to put the fear aside, which is putting your fearful self to the side, and then acting out of your courageous self. You can think of the two selves as always being present and in difficult times, the courageous one is what you act from.
Before I send this I would like to warn you, my dream was pretty violent and involved sensitive topics such as murder, self harm, substance abuse, verbal/emotional abuse, and suicide.
i was in a sewer under a bar. It was really gross and green and dirty and rusty but there was always some areas that were completely spotless and shiny and new… and we were running from some monster or something, me and my two other teammates
and then we reached a room, it kind of looked like the commons area of a school
but there were a shit ton of people there waiting for us and once we fell from the ceiling they started to shoot
so we hid behind a really big table and started shooting back and when they noticed we killed most of their crew they ended up fleeing,
so we got up and walked over to where the crew was and there was this injured girl laying down on a hospital gurney and from what i remember she might have looked like me? but she was begging for us to help her and to take her out of the sewer and
i just stood there and listened to her for a while? my teammates kept trying to help her but i told them to wait and after like 5 minutes of her pleading i just
went ballistic
i took out a knife and i just started stabbing her over and over again in the legs and i moved up and started doing it in her stomach
i swear i stabbed her like 50 times but she was somehow still alive, it wasn’t killing her
and so i started to saw her head off with the knife
and then she finally died after a while of pleading and begging and shit and i said to my crew
“okay, lets go”
and while we were walking back to the area above ground where the bar was, i kept
seeing her ghost out of the corner of my eye every so often, and i remember seeing her face, and she looked so similar to me that i would start getting mad and punching the wall until my knuckles bled and my teammates kept trying to stop me and ask if i was okay but i wouldn’t listen to them.
Then we finally got above ground and reached the bar area and i remember buying a shit ton of
whiskey infused jelly beans and a shit drugs like MDMA and acid and i just took/ate it all at once
I think I was trying to use them to make me feel better or make it so that i couldn’t remember anything.
Then i think i went to the bathroom and overdosed on my adderall or something, but after i died i kept coming back to life and i kept reliving the same thing i experienced over and over again, and it repeated maybe 3 times until one time i came back to life and i was a kid in middle school
i know i was a boy (im a biological female) but i never saw what i looked like or anything
but in the dream i had a mom (not my real mom, my real mom is sweet)
and maybe a sister and a brother?
and the mom kept screaming at us but my siblings were just… okay with it? i was the only one freaking out and so i ran to the bathroom and all of a sudden i was in a tank top and a pair of shorts and i had a razor blade in my right hand and something else in my left, i don’t remember what exactly… but my hands were covered in blood and i was really confused,
so i sat down on the toilet and i inspected my body and
there wasn’t a single area of my body that wasn’t covered in really deep and dark scars
and i remember very specifically i had the word “worthless” carved right under my right knee.
then my dream mom started banging on the door and she said something like
“let me in let me the f*ck in! what are you doing? what the f*ck, blah blah blah”
she eventually busted the door down and she said something like
“you’re cutting yourself again arent you?”
and i remember i couldn’t speak, i was mute or something
and she saw the word worthless carved into my knee, as well as a couple other words i dont remember carved into other areas of my legs and she said something like
“haha yeah, you are worthless! you’re good for nothing and you never do anything right. no one cares about you, not even yourself! youre going to die alone and no ones going to care. you’re stupid and nothing you do matters and blah blah blah- you should just die. kill yourself.”
and then i started to slit my wrists right in front of her while looking her in the eyes and she said
“yeah, keep going, i’ve been waiting for this moment since the day you were born”
but i just couldn’t die no matter how deep i went , and she just kept yelling at me and berating me while i sat there and dealt with it… and then i woke up.
Dear Al,
To understand how to deal with this kind of dream you first need to understand that every human being has two selves. You have a higher self, which is made up of all of your positive qualities and abilities, and then you have a lower self or your ego, which is where your darker qualities. In this dream your higher self doesn’t seem to show up at all. The only part of you that is in the dream is your ego or darker self. It is not bad that you have dreams with the lower self. It just shows you the state of affairs in the darker self. It starts in the sewer under a bar. This means that in your ego you start in foul and dirty place and when you are in that space, you try to use means (like drugs) to cope with the state. When people shoot at you and you shoot back and kill others, it means you feel really are being shot down or criticized which explains why you are in the sewer. Your response is to shoot back and then kill others which means that in real life, when you are in your ego self, you kill relationships. Eventually you kill and torture your true self so that it is not there at all, and then try every drug to forget your ego state. You have a fair amount of work, according to the dream, to get to your positive, true self. Basically wherever you are or whatever you are doing in the dream, your true self is in exactly the opposite kind of place and is doing the opposite. The first step is to believe that the true self actually exists and that is beautiful and amazing. It takes a kind of faith that it is there even when it doesn’t seem possible. Eventually, when you recognize your beautiful self, you will begin to encourage and support others, but you will also take care of yourself and your body in healthy ways that allows you give benefit to others, to be life-enhancing to others. From the looks of the dream I would say that you cannot do this on your own very well so it is a good idea for you to go for help. The kind of help you need in the beginning is a professional person that knows how to see your inner beauty even when you do not.
i had this dream and i’m really curious about what it mean because it’s stuck in my head so i’d appreciate the interpretation: i was in the hospital curled up on the bed with a doctor next to me who was kind and i partially recognise (i think she was my ballet teacher but it’s foggy) and then we went in this dark room by the scanner where i had a previous dream talking with her about mental health struggles and how she thought i had depression and i should really get it diagnosed. and the doctor brought it up again. then they did a head scan and it said there was nothing wrong and then the pain in my head (temples) intensified and i started screaming and the doctor drew circles where i said it hurt and put a line through the left one then it all went black
Dear Matilda,
The purpose of going to a hospital in a dream is to get some healing. Since your ballet teacher is with you, it seems as though you need some healing in your mind around ballet. When you get depressed, it means that you have lost your up energy like your joy and enthusiasm for the activity. This happens in life, whether it be ballet or anything else, when there are too many expectations on the performance levels and not enough focus on the joy of dancing. When you focus on the joy of dancing and let go of the expectations of performance, then you will be healed.
I had the strangest experience ever. I was first dreaming that i got a new puppy, then the puppy suddenly died. After that i woke up and ran to my mother and she told me that a storm is coming u have to get the birds in the cage inside and then there was a really loud thunder and i woke up… After really waking up i realized that i had a dream within a dream, like i dreamt that i was dreaming and i woke up once in the dream but the dream was still going and after that i really woke up. The weird part is i dont even have 2 birds as pets i dont know why i had pets. I know this is so complicated but this is exactly what happened in my “dream within a dream”. Can u pls tell me the meaning behind this?
Dear Anonymous,
When you have animals in a dream, the animals are symbols for qualities that you need inside of you. What happens to the animals is in a sense what happens to you when you try to become the qualities that the animals represent. A puppy is a symbol of love and friendship that is just beginning to come out inside. When your puppy dies, it means that the quality suddenly died in you. It is as if your friendliness died. Birds are symbols of freedom so when your birds inside (your freedom) is met with a storm, you have to take them inside to protect them. With the puppy(love and friendship) energy you have to keep putting it out there even when friendships are lost or die. With the birds energy (freedom) you cannot let stormy times keep you from the free feeling inside.
Last nights dream was nuts! I felt a tickle in my ear. I kept trying to stick my finger in there to scratch it but it was so painful! I could feel the pain in my throat. But something was in my ear and I freaked the hell out! I picked up like a small stick to dig in there. I stuck it in and felt something hard, I flicked it out and it was a spider. I squished it and was screaming like a maniac. I looked in the mirror at my ear, only to see another spider, bigger, sitting at the opening of my ear. When I tried to get it out it would just go back inside my ear. I started banging my head on anything I could to knock it out my ear but it was in there good. Finally I put rubbing alcohol in my ear, it FINALLY crawled out on my face and I flicked it off my face and killed it. When I woke up this morning in real life, my ear hurts. Same ear as my dream. Freaky. Lol what did I do?
Dear Celia,
Spiders, when they are negative in dream, are symbols for people in your life who create negative webs of malicious gossip and backbiting. So when the spider is in your ear, it means that a malicious gossiper has your ear or you let gossip in. Fortunately in the dream you were able to kill the spider which means that you stop the gossip or bad intent. The solution is for you to become a positive spider, which means that you weave a web of positive encouragement and support for others. You start by finding positives in others and then you tell them as if it goes right into their ears. In this way you can quickly build a very positive web.
