Dreams For Peace 
I have had a dream like this before but here’s how this one went. My Mom was planning to kill my brother and my sisters for whatever reason so i handed each of them two knives. I locked all the doors (this took place in my Grandma’s house) and she busted through the front door. [My oldest sister during the dream did not want to kill my Mom(in real life my Mom and my oldest fight so much about kicking her out the house and stuff)] Back to the dream I sliced my Mom’s stomach (I love my Mom very much, in real life and she lobes my alot too. So i don’t really understand why i would dream this). My uncle appears from no where. My Mom, all sliced up fell on the table and was asking someone to make her someone scrambled eggs. Then she looked at me and said why would i do that to her (During the dream she was trying to kill us now she’s back to normal). She mentioned before i woke up the her birthday is on a Saturday this year.(When i woke up I looked on my phone calender and December 12 is on a Saturday.
Thanks.
This is a response to Alleena’s dream,
Hi Alleena, Probably the way your mother is killing your siblings in real life is by the way she interacts with them in a negative manner. She does this most likely because she doesn’t know any other way to interact with them. This is probably haw she was treated as well. You giving them knives is part of your unconscious trying to kill the part of your mother that interacts so negatively with them. Your mother needs to learn so new ways to interact with her children because whatever way she is doing it now, does not work. She especially needs to see the positive in them as if they have a lot of potential that is always ready to come out. The birthday for your mother is the birth of being positive with others and seeing their positive qualities. You can probably help her in this regard and also be a positive force in your family by seeing the really positive things in your siblings.
Dear richard:
I had a strange and vivid dream of me taking pink lice out of a black man’s hair,the man’s face was certainly clear but I have never met him in real life and there was a girl sitting on the chair across from us whom I have not seen since school but we were never friends in school I just knew her to see!the man refused to let me do it but me and the other girl finally convinced him to let me but every couple of minutes I would go into the shower ttry turn it on but id forgotten how to and I’d leave and continue with his hair!!As I was taking them out another friend of mine that I do not see anymore walked in and started using the shower but was asking me how my pregnancy was going?Is was going to answer and someone tapped me on the shoulder and I woke up!!
It’s a very strange dream that makes no sence to me because am not pregnant well at least I hope not!!I would like any input or say you may have on this
Kind regards
This is a response to Jasmine’s dream,
Hi Jasmine, This is a really interesting dream. A person’s hair is a symbol of their positive power, whereas lice represent tiny unseen insects that interrupt the positive empowerment. You taking out the lice means that you are helping people different than yourself to let go of the little negative things that are holding back so that they can be totally empowered. The shower means that you have to keep your motives pure when you do this kind of work because you can easily do it for selfish reasons. You do not. You have pure motives. Being pregnant means that this ability is growing inside of you as if it were a new baby to come out for you.
I had a dream that I was using a oujia board and I was trying to contact my mom well me and my cousins were until my aunt walked and told us that oujia boards are dangerous you must say goodbye but before we said goodbye I got a message from whatever or whoever I was trying or contact and then we told it goodbye and my aunt took it away from us
This is a response to McKayla’s dream,
Hi McKayla, The oujia board is a symbol of you trying to have communication with the spiritual world. This is a really positive thing to do especially with your mom. The dangerous part of using spiritual communication is when you try to use it for your own material gain because this takes you down the path of being selfish and greedy. A dream, for instance, is a type of spiritual communication. Its intention is to help you be of service and benefit to others rather than greedy. I get a lot of messages all the time because I have the belief that the spiritual world is always trying to communicate with me for my own growth and benefit. It is like it is a big huge world ready to support you whenever you reach out to it.
Hi got a weird one for you in the dream it is breakfast time and most of the women in my family and me are having breakfast and we are laughing and messing around but they all have what look like steak knifes and are stabbing me with them though the points to the blades have been snapped off i still react in a scared and frightened manner but they act like they were hitting me with pillows also most of the stabbing is in the hand any ideas?
This is a response to Ed’s dream,
Hi Ed, This dream has to do with negative speech from the women in your family toward you to try to get you to improve your skills (represented in the hands). While the stabbing is meant to hurt you so it changes you, it actually doesn’t have much of an effect because of the lack of blades. Nonetheless it makes you frightened of them rather than close to them. This is a common strategy that people use when they want someone to change especially when they want you to change for their own selfish reasons, not for your benefit.
The solution to this kind of behavior is to be detached from the negative attacks, that is, to let them go as if they were not said, and then begin finding the positive in yourself and in them. Finding the positives in others and in yourself is how we actually change, not be vicious attacks.
Hi Richard I had a dream . a native house with out door roled over in the concrete house . and it happened was the house of my employer.
This is a response to Nikki’s dream,
Hi Nikki, A house is a symbol of the self. In the this dream the native house does not have a door which means that it is difficult to enter into a relationship with your employer because there is no door to enter. If this is the case, then it is best to let go of trying to do this and go for positive relationships with others who are more open.
I had a weird dream last night and it just keeps coming back to me… I dreamed that somehow I was in a church and the people were hanging dead doves up close to the ceiling and then a snake entered the room as the people were chanting… I left off to some room but not before this huge dark green lizard like snake slid past me and looked at me but kept going…
This is a response to Tiffany’s dream,
Hi Tiffany, This dream is about the conflicting feelings that are happening in the context of the church for you. While the message of Christianity is primarily about love and peace as symbolized by the doves, there seems to be something that is happening in your life there that kills that peacefulness. It is like a snake and lower selfish ego energy enters the church. This could be a symbol of a lot of negative talk and gossip or other poisonous snake like behavior. The key is be with people who are truly interested in promoting peace.
the man my sister and I share a house with had a heart attack and as he was in hospital he told us that he was moving down stairs in the basement of the hospital or rehab, they already were bringing his clothes down and they were putting a ceiling on his room for when he comes. needless to say he passed this past sunday
Hello Richard!
I do not know if you are still doing dream interpretation or not but if so I am taking the chance as my daughter age 3 awoke this morning really scared as she had a dream that a blackbird with red eyes killed me an pecked my eyes out and drug me to a body of water with ice cubes and he put me in the ice water. She said that she turned (the 3 year old ) into a mad mean baby in the dream with red eyes and she tried to kill the bird with her eyes but the bird ran away and left so she was unable to do it. She was very distraught when she woke up with this nightmare but I assured her that dreams of death aren’t necessarily death and we are a very spiritual family as well and in tune with nature. The crows and ravens follow me wherever I go so she isn’t an afraid child I have had my other children have dreams that happen the following day but this seems more of a prophetic dream or some other type! Any help is appreciated and I hope you have a Blessed Day!

This is a response to Brenda’s dream,
Hi Brenda, Can you be a bit clearer with the dream. I don’t quite get the last part.
My mother passed away almost two years ago from what I believe is a wrongful death. I contacted a lawyer a few months ago and he’s suppose to be working on the case. However, it’s been hard to reach him and he is very unprofessional ( as far as communication) I don’t know what’s going on and I’ve been very afraid & doubted my judgement on relying on this lawyer because the statute of limitations is over in two months but deep down inside I KNOW God is a way maker.. Anyway, I had a dream that the lawyer contacted me at the last minute, when I answered the phone. I was prepared for bad news but he told me that we reach a settlement and I was immediately filled with joy and very surprised . What is this dream telling me , as I know most dreams aren’t literal ?
This is a response to Christian’s mom,
The dream means that the case is settled in the spiritual world. Despite your feelings your mother has gotten her due reward in the next world. This is the important thing. It has very little to do with whether or not you are going to get a settlement. It is a tricky path to be going down to get money for her wrongful. In the spiritual world it was not a wrongful death because where she is right now is a much better place than where she was while here. The lawsuit is about you, not her, so it is important that you keep that very clear in your mind. If you incurred expenses because of the way she was treated, then you should go for the justice, otherwise, in my opinion, it is best to leave it and be thankful that your mother is in a better place.
Thank you so much for the interpretation!
I had a dream last night that I had a pet crow, it was a nice, calm dream, no negative aspects to it. The crow seemed to like me as well, it was quite sweet and polite, so I decided to feed it a small dead animal like a squirrel or something, it was sitting above me and happened to drip it’s blood on my face when it began eating and it got into my eyes. My older brother was with me the entire time and when I got the blood on my face, I tried washing it off before I got interrupted by my mother. Does that mean anything?
This is a response to Allison’s dream,
Hi Allison, A pet crow means that you are being friendly inside with your wise and intelligent self. Crows are symbols of our inner intelligence. Feeding the crow means that you are feeding your intelligence which is a really positive thing. Your mother seems to be interrupting the process which means that she probably isn’t a big help to you in the development of this quality.
I had a dream that started with a family dinner at my grandmas a very normal thing. My mom, dad, aunt, my grandma, grandpa, and the girl who slept with my ex boyfriend were there. My aunt and I got into an argument about Paige(the girl who slept with my ex). Paige got upset and cried to Amber and Amber(my aunt) comforted her. My aunt has never done that for me and I was hurt so I beat the life out of Paige. I’m curious to know why Paige was there? Also why I hurt her? And why I was dreaming my aunt choose to help her over me?
This is a response to Tiffani’s dream,
Hi Tiffani, The problem you have with Paige in the dream is a result of your unresolved feelings for your ex-boyfriend. You believe that the problem is with Paige, but really the problem is with your ex-boyfriend not Paige. Paige is just responding to her own attraction. Who you should be beating up is your old boy friend, but really the best thing to do is to let go of the old relationship completely and then start transforming yourself in a positive ways so that you can attract better guys into your life.
Hi keep having a reoccurring dream that I’m in a hospital and I’m heavily pregnant and really need the loo but I never end up getting to the toilet as the queues everywhere as so long. I’ve been having this dream for a couple of weeks now.
This is a response to Nichola’s dream,
Hi Nichola, In this dream being heavily pregnant and at the hospital means that you are ready to give birth to a new part of your character like a new aspect to yourself. It is something that is brand new inside and waiting to come out. The problem that you have is that you have to go to loo. This means that you have to let go of some anger inside but it is like you have nowhere to do it. Letting go of the anger will greatly accelerate the process of growth inside but it is something you have to do on your own. The anger will block the new part of you that wants to be born inside.
I had a dream I was going though a trailer shooting any and every piece of glass i could see with a green Camo Glock i emptied my magazine and as i went to reload i didn’t press my mag in all the way so i attempted to fix it but I’n the process 2 rounds fell out i picked them up and went on shooting all the glass
I remember the ammo was hollow point
And I also remember that one of the first glass panes I shot had an empty room behind it and a large be with black sheets
I also shot a bookcase with glass over it
This is a response to Noah’s dream,
Hi Noah, You can regard this dream in two ways, positive or negative. The positive aspect of shooting as a metaphor in a dream is to be right on target with what you are doing in your life. It means you have to see the positive goal with a lot of clarity and keep in your mind all the time as if you are the target. The negative aspect of shooting is when you shoot out of anger or revenge in which case you shoot down all of your opportunities and lose your life as it should be. The glass is a metaphor for vision so you don’t want to shoot down your positive visions.
Hi All,
As a family we recently lost my Nan and my very young aunt after a long battle with breast and brain cancer, she was a single mother and left behind for 4 children. My other aunt(who lost her sister and her mum) is having a reoccurring dream where the 3 sisters are driving in my mums car out and around a lake near home together, they then end up in the water with the car sinking but manage to escape while a group of people come to offer help and they don’t seem to see what the big deal is as they escaped the car unscathed. Shes worried that this is some kind of warning or means something specific. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Dear Anonymous,
The car sinking in the water means that they cannot get to where they want to go in their lives on a daily basis because something is wrong with the way they relate to each other. Water is a relational element so sinking means sinking in their relationship. It probably had something to do with the cancer.
What she needs to do is this. It is extremely important that she does what I recommend. She has to focus only on the positive of the other members of the family and constantly point out the positive without focusing on the negative at all. She has to learn how to focus on the positive, not the negative.
I dreamed I was out in the woods near what looked like a road with hills on booth sides I was walking up the road when I got to the end. Out of no where i saw a truck going to fast I knew the truck and the driver it looked like he was having fun but I was right next to him when he went. By me he did not see me he crashed his truck and died then the dream stopes go’s into rewind now when the dream starts back it’s like I had already had the dream in running up the road to worn him when I get to the top I stop his truck I tell him about the dream and how I feel he brushes it of as nothing and continues on his way I run after the truck it hits the bank then I find myself a few feet from the truck I look and he’s paralysed he can’t move his legs or fingers not any part of his body. What do you think I’m stumped
This is a response to Lenoir’s dream,
Hi Lenoir, The way I read this dream is that your path in life is in the metaphoric woods. This means that you are guided by nature as if it were your mother. You should commune with it often. The world outside of the mother nature experience is all sped up and killing or paralyzing itself even when you warn it. The best thing is to not involve yourself with the speed, but to get guided and go for it. It seems to me that it is pretty easy for you, but harder to not get involved in the sped up world.
So, I had a normal dream last night. In that dream I fell asleep, so, I had a dream inside in a dream. Which is already weird. But then in my dreams dream I was lucid dreaming. I was making shit happen that was pretty cool but then the world was going to crap. Tanks everywhere and buildings on fire and whatever. Then after that I started running from someone or something. I’m like 99% sure it was a demon. I literally ran through like 4 repetitive dreams running from it. I knew it was happening but I couldn’t wake up until I woke myself up in the first dream. But the last thing I remember is the thing I was running from was right in front of me. Then I woke up. I think.
This is a response to Cody’s dream,
Hi Cody, It is really important to get what I am going to tell you because when you do, it will change everything big time. The dream first tells you that you have huge capacity (I meant HUGE) to do really positive things in the world, but when you start paying attention to what is happening in the world on the news, you end up running away from evil or bad stuff. TURN OFF YOUR TV. In the U.S. right now Donald Trump is leading a big debate and has all of this attention from the media, but who in their right mind, would pay one speck of attention to him.
Turn all of that off and attend to what you want to do and do it and then the whole world will change right before your eyes. There are a lot of amazing people and they are so positive and want to do good things. That is who you start connecting with. You have amazing capacity to get things going so go for it. Don’t wait!
I just had this dream last night and thought it was strange. So I’m in this big empty building made of glass, with a bunch of people outside, and I’m in my underwear. My girlfriend gets kidnapped, so I run after her busting through the doors going outside. I’m running and searching through the people, calling her name but can’t find her. Then all the people disappear and I’m standing on a patch of grass. I sit down and just break down, and start crying because I can’t find her. Then I woke up
This is a response to Eric’s dream,
Hi Eric,
In this dream you are fearful of your girl friend being kidnapped when you are not ready for it to happen. Then you can’t find her and break down. To solve the fear what you have to do is go inside yourself and find the part of you that was kidnapped in your life when you were not ready. Then you will be able to find her real self in real life. The way you do this is to just go inside and ask yourself what was kidnapped and when. When you get this understanding, then you can start really getting the part that was kidnapped working again and developing anymore. Then your relationships will flourish.
I dreamt that I entered an abandoned school and inside was a hidden church where rain fell from the ceiling and people were swimming in giant pools while they wore sheer white robes. I felt like an outsider when I entered, but I was not turned away. It almost felt like those who were there saw through me. I have not been able to shake the images or the strange feeling this dream left me with all day. Hopefully you can help me bring some clarity to this dream. Thank you so much.
This is a response to Erin’s dream,
Hi Erin, Being in a school means that you are in the process of learning how to find a hidden spiritual part of yourself. That spiritual part has to do with how to be connected with everyone around you. Pools are symbols of relationships in dreams so you are really learning how to not feel like you are an outsider. Most people tend to feel this way at some time in their lives because most families and cultures tend to make you feel this way.
What you need to see about yourself is that is actually easy to connect to others. You just have to feel love in your heart and then begin to reach out to others.
