Dreams For Peace 
Hi Richard!
Thanks for the response! I have more questions about the dream! When you say unique? What exactly do you mean? Could I be dreaming about the baby being black because I was raped 3 days before finding out I was pregnant and was scared to tell my husband? I told my husband the other night and haven’t had the dream again. I’m so confused about this dream I’m sorry.
Sincerely Appreciated,
Sarah
Sarah, Yes. It was great that you told your husband. You should be getting help about the rape and your husband should support you. It doesn’t seem that the baby is from the rapist. The reason you need help is that you will have been under a lot of stress during and after the rape which the baby will have felt and been affected by in an emotional way. You will need to reassure him all the time that he is safe. Your husband should do the same, but you have to feel safe first. If you can create this environment for him, it will help him a lot.
I was plunging a very clean toilet water and bleach was poring out i felt as though i was trying not to get the bleach on my cloths then my 9 year old son was standing in front of a house trailer large window the trailer was very high on bricks it started rocking i started to go out side to see what was happening before I got to the door fell towards the side my son was standing on I called his name which woke me up but when I woke it felt as though someone was standing over me and then quickly disappeared
This is a response to Britaney’s dream,
Hi Britaney, When you have trouble with a toilet, it means that you are having difficulty letting go of bad things that have happened to you or others. You are trying to get them bleached which means white and spot free, because it probably was not ok to have had bad things happen or make mistakes in your family of origin. This will affect your 9 year old as it probably affected you when you were 9. He needs to be free to make mistakes so that he can learn from them as long as they are not morally or life threatening. He needs to be experimenting more in an accepting atmosphere and then be able to let of the mistakes after they happen as if you can flush them away.
My ex-mother in law had this dream of me. I’m not sure what it means.
“You had a little baby. In the dream you were playing Twister with Angelo (ex-husband) and every time you had to move…you picked up the baby and move the baby too. It was a funny little dream. It wasn’t Aiden( my son). And you weren’t with Angelo, you were just playing the game with Angelo. Ha!”
This is a response to Christina’s dream,
Hi Christina, The little baby in the dream represents the quality of flexibility inside of you. You are playing twister because twister is based upon the quality of being flexible. Flexibility is not necessarily a thing of your body, but it is also a big thing of your mind. Generally it means not holding on too rigidly to old ideas that don’t work so well. When you are your mother-in-law does this, your lives will be so amazing and change in really positive ways.
Hey. Im not usually the type to do this sort of thing but i had this dream that really freaked me out and i haven’t been able to shake this dream out of my head all day I’m confused as to why I cant forget this dream and why its having such an impact on the rest of my day. I cant remember the start of the dream very well at all. the first thing I can remember of the dream was finding out my boyfriend (but he didn’t look anything like my actual boyfriend) was a murderer/serial killer. I went to his house for the first time and found him in his back yard killing random strangers. I was terrified and horrified. I felt very broken over it all because I thought I knew him and I was very wrong. I ran and he chased me down and tackled me to the ground as I got to this little fenced area of his yard. he started crying and telling me how much he loved me and he was just sick but he would never hurt me I was still freaking out and he still had blood all over him that was dripping all over me and I wiggled free from under him and ran into the fence and there was this half mangled man running at me and screaming up to the fence. My boyfriend grabbed me from behind and told me not to be scared. It was his dad. He couldn’t let him go so he fixed him but now he’s not the same… His dad was kinda zombie like. at this point in the dream I kinda just gave up. I knew he wasn’t going to let me go after everything that I just saw and if I stay with him and love him he wont hurt me like everyone else so I stayed I ignored the killing and I took care of him and over the days I started loving him more and more despite the monster he actually was. And then it skipped to a couple days maybe weeks later where we are at a huge party that my boyfriend is throwing in this weird tower/castle thing I guess he owns? We were just socializing and idk what happened in the skipped parts of my dream but I felt so weird I was just numb I didn’t feel anything and I was just kinda in my own head walking from room to room meeting new people but I wasn’t really all there. Then I came across a beautiful angelic tall just absolutely breathtaking guy I guess I had talked to at some point in the skipped parts of the dream and I immediately snapped back into reality and I was so happy to see him so I went up to talk to him and he just wanted to take me away from everything but I freaked out It started making me really scared I dont exactly know why but I was terrified of him taking me away from my boyfriend so I kept telling him to leave me alone and not to talk to me anymore. He got upset and said I broke his heart but he still kept telling me he wanted to take me away so I kept walking away And I kept leaving to another room to lose him in all the people but He kept finding me and I started crawling on the floor weaving in between people hiding from him until he disappeared. Then My boyfriend finds me and takes me up to the roof and he tells me he has a surprise. He starts pushing people off the roof into a bunch of cables tide between all the trees below that are slicing all the people into bits and pieces he seems so happy and I just dont even know what to do anymore. He just keeps going more and more people over the edge and gone in a bloody mess. Finally when he starts to slows down he turns to me and asks me to die with him. He holds my hands and wants me to jump with him. So I do. And then my perspective changes to my boyfriend and im looking at me dying with pieces of me cut off and I open my eyes and look at me as my boyfriend and say I love you so much before dying. And then me as my boyfriend starts freaking out and trying to fix me but it wont work. So I go and see my dad. (my boyfriends zombie like dad) and I let him tear me into pieces. Then I woke up. Like hyperventilating…. It was so real at the time it was absolutely terrifying…
This is a response to Angel’s dream,
Hi Angel, This is a long dream and there is a lot in it so I will simplify it and give you essentially the issues you are facing that the dream brings up. When you have a boyfriend in real life, there are two things to look for in a relationship. One is the attraction and love you have for the person and the other is the person’s character. The problem that the dream is warning you about is to not have one and then not the other. If you believe that love is going to carry you through in a relationship and can change a person’s character, you end up with what happened to you in the dream. You get the love, but also get all torn up. There is attraction and then there is character. Character are those things like responsibility, working hard, compassion for others, patience, and honesty. The person in the dream loves you but doesn’t have a great character.
I was with my aunt and she was giving me things. I was cutting her toenails. I saw a baby seal who was following me. The mother seal came for her baby but I saw her in the water?
This is a response to Daylin’s dream,
Hi Daylin, The proper relationship with someone life your aunt is what you are doing in the dream. It is like a baby seal to its mother. The older person does positive teaching to the younger by giving them the skills they need to learn in life. The younger then does something in turn like cutting toenails. You are in the proper relationship with the right older people who can teach you a lot.
I had a dream that I fought with my step Daughter than she told her mom and she called and want to meet me when I arrived there she wanted me and my step daughter to fight again than she pulled out a gun and I escaped ran I left town and found out I was pregnant but could never go back … I never seen my kids again or my husband until 10 years later
This is a response to Nicole’s dream,
Hi Nicole, It is natural to have fights with your step daughter because while you are not her real mother, you have responsibilities for raising her because she spends time in your home. The fear you have is that the fighting is going to lead to being forced away from her.
The solution is that you need to develop the quality of peacefulness and calm. When you have this quality inside, it will keep you from being in fights and allow your step daughter to approach you with her life difficulties. You can become her ally and helper. That is what she needs most from you. Developing calm and peacefulness takes a lot of effort. Most people benefit from taking meditation or yoga when developing this quality.
I had a dream last week. My boyfriend, his mom and brother and maybe his uncle who are all alive. He introduced me to his family and everyone was happy. I just found out yesterday that he has his son now living with him and since the summer he had been fighting for custody of his son. It’s been 2months since we really talked. We have communicated through texting but he chose not to call to keep us from arguing. I never dream him, I guess what I need to know is this dream reassurance that we’re in a better place with each other? I was told before that I shouldn’t worry about a lot of surface stuff going on with him, he dreams me and thinks of me a lot. We clearly love each other but I was so sure he was done with me. He felt bad as he let me know that he couldn’t do for me or give me the things I deserved. He quit his job and literally is now living with his Mom. He started spiraling out of control from the toxic relationship with his ex wife. I saw something good in him and never gave up on him. I just gave him space to get his life back in order. I moved to Ohio about 6 weeks ago and he still supports my decision to get on my feet for myself and my daughter. I am older than him, so I needed him to find himself, he said he was not happy with his own life and wanted to make it better. I believe I mistook this for him not wanting me, I had to open up my heart and understand that he was going through a lot. He was at the lowest point of his life. Now, he’s contacting me. I truly love him and believe that he truly loves me. What does this dream mean???
This is a response to Colleen’s dream,
Hi Colleen, Basically you both have positive feelings for each other which is really good. The difficulty is the complicated lives that you have. You both have come out of difficult relationships. The best thing I can tell you is to stay in contact and take things extremely slowly. You both have responsibilities to your children first and the relationship second. Your daughter comes first, not him so you have to take it slowly and make sure that he is extremely responsible and hard working.
Hi Richard
I had a dream that me, my mom, my aunt, and my cousin were shopping at a huge store that was also a school(weird,I know) and all of a sudden these suspicious people walk through the doors ,a man and a woman, and they are dressed in black but they were doing a whole bunch of acrobatics and all of a sudden they were sticking Greg lighters on certain parts of the store and they started beeping and for some reason I knew that they were bombs and I was able to tell my mom and aunt and we ended up running to the car and drove away but some how my great grandma was inthe building and she was in there when the bomb went off and my dream switched to a new setting and I was at school writing a letter about the terrorist attack that way so I could read it to everyone, including the counselor, and then the setting changed again and I was at my great grandmas house with my aunt and mom and me and my aunt were teaching my great grandma how to ride a scooter but she fell of and when I went back to check on her she was crying and I asked her if she was OK and she told me no that she was sick from the explosion and how she wasn’t ready to die
Thanks, Jada
PS: I was wondering if u could contact me by commenting, because I’m only 15 and have a forgetful mind and for got my email address or by my twitter account
This is a response to Jada’s dream,
Hi Jada, This issue relates to a problem in your family that goes back to your great grandmother. It is basically that when she was young and tried to develop herself things exploded as if some terrorist got her. Now the family has a fear of things blowing up when they go for things. She is unable to learn to be playful because of what happened probably something bad at the hands of some men.
You don’t live under the conditions that she would have lived under, but you still carry some of the family’s fear. Your job is to let go of the fear and explode in a positive way with energy that will do lots of things in your life that are helpful for others. You can start by being aware of the fear that the women carry in your family.
Mr richard,may i ask you to elebrate on the last dream and why this second girl is trouble
Sebastian, The reason that she is trouble, according to the dream, is that when you are in the accident, the appropriate response from her would be compassion, but instead you get anger and blaming. You can always try the relationship out and learn for yourself because it is good to experience a lot of relationships when you are young, but I don’t think I would try to get in too deep with her. It just doesn’t seem like it is the right energy for you. Take your time and then gradually learn how to get really close to girls.
I had a dream I was with my family and we had to cross from one place to another through a knotted roped bridge. I had started d to go but when I got close to the end the rope got detached and I couldn’t get over. So I went to come back but that end broke off too. So I was hanging there having to wait for someone to save me. My family told me I couldn’t jump that I had to wait because I was too high. But what I did was I climbed all the way down the rope til I was at the bottom and then I used a tree and wrapped my legs and arms across it kinda like an animal would and I made my way down it. When I was save on land I ran back and my family was surprised I made it down. Throughout the dream I don’t think I was scared even though I was so high up above different layers of forest. Thank you! I’d love to know what you think.
This is a response to Diana’s dream,
Hi Diana, The purpose of this dream is to show you the capacity you have inside of being resourceful. Resourcefulness is the ability to think on your feet when you are facing a difficult situation and then to be able to do something positive that gets a successful outcome. You have that ability inside and can use it.
I had a dream About snakes
This is a response to Jon’s dream,
Hi Jon, Snakes mean change. When you dream of a snake, you should think that something big wants to transform inside of you. You can start by asking yourself what needs to change the most in your life and then start systematically making efforts to do so.
Hi Richard!
I’m 7.5 months pregnant and I’m have a little boy 🙂 I have had the same dream twice of having a interracial baby my husband and I are both white.. in the dream I’m having a him and he comes out mixed looks white bit you can twll he is mixed he’s beautiful but my husband says he’s not his. I don’t understand this dream I’ve done research and I figured you maybe able top help me figure it out!
Sincerely,
Sarah
This is a response to Sarah’s dream,
Hi Sarah, The reason that you are having this dream is that your baby is going to have some interesting qualities that are not like you or your husband. It will be as if he is of another race. It doesn’t mean that he will actually be different, but inside there will be some unique things about him that will be difficult for your husband to accept. This has nothing to do with you or your husband, but has to do with the special abilities and gifts that God has put into him. Your work, which your husband will not be much help with, is to gradually nurture your child’s uniqueness because if you do it correctly, he will have a dramatic impact in the world.
Thank you for the reply,
I am constantly having dreams of being pregnant or giving birth.
Last night i had another one. I was in labor…i gave birth all alone and was surprised to give birth to 4 babies 3 boys/1 girl. The rest of the dream i was just in awe of these beautiful babies and my ability to give birth to so many by myself…i also was breastfeeding them.
Hi, This means that you have the ability to give birth to lots of new abilities inside of yourself and nurture the abilities immediately. You should get really busy on figuring out what you want to work on. The 3 boys mean that the male qualities like strength, assertive, etc. is where you should probably start.
I had 3 dreams tonight each very different from the last in my first dream im at school (im 14 in real life) and my teacher is telling me that i have a 61% in my class and shows me if i do well ob my exams i can get a 86% in which my friends come and give congrats. I woke up after this one and almost immediately fell asleep. My next dream i was with a friend of mine and his girlfriend we were talking about other people in a gossipy way (keep in mind i have a crush on this girl) my friend leaves and i become nervous my dream ends there. My last dream is the darkest and weirdest. Im with this girl i like ( not the previous one) were walkin on the side of the road when i decide to cross i get across safely so i wait for her (this happened at night so i dont see her until she gets about half way across the road) when i see her a car starts coming by so i jump on the road and tell her to run she starts running and so do i. I repeatedly try to push her to the side but i cant reach her and she wont slow down neither will the car after awhile i get hit and she comes back only to yell at me angrily i cant remembet what she said but it was somthing like this ” WHY DID YOU NOTVJUMP TO THE SIDE ” in my head i thought why didnt you slow down so i cuold save you then my dream fades to black and i wake up
This is a response to Sebastian’s dream,
Hi Sebastian, These dreams present the two big issues that young people have at your age, study and relationships. The dream about studying is pretty straight forward. If you do the work and make the effort, you will get a better performance. The girl thing is like this. The girl you need to be in a relationship with is in the first dream and the one you don’t need to be in a relationship with is in the second dream. The problem is that she is in a relationship with another guy, your friend. What you need to do is to be able to figure it out like you would a difficult math problem. This is much higher math because you have a lot of variables. You should start with a casual friendship that is not romantic inclined. She has some important things to teach you which you can only find out by being in a relationship with her. It doesn’t have to be for a super long time, but she can teach you something important. The second girl is trouble.
Hello. Am baffled with this dream. My fiance came at our home and sat on the chair in my mother’s house.he was happy. And I was busy washing clothes. So I was asking if he is waiting for me we go together. Plz elaborate for me
This is a response to Carol’s dream,
Hi Carol, This dream is fairly simple. Your fiance is very ready to be with you and very comfortable in your family, but you are not fully ready yet for the marriage. It is a good sign for your wedding.
Dear Richard
My husband passed away Oct 9 2015 he had Lewy Body dementia resided in a nursing home I saw him daily.the death was a,shock .though expected but not that quickly.
Last night I dreamt i went into his room on a sunny day a other residents was in his bed..I screamed get out numerous times.nurse had to come in Than came back and she,was there he didn’t want her near him Nursery finally took her out ..What foes this mean?
This is a response to Anne E’s dream,
Hi Anne, The reason that you are having this type of dream is that you are hoping to somehow have a little more time with him. His passing was too early for you. You are trying to get them out so that you can have a few more intimate moments with him. Death is a mysterious thing for humans. There is a reason why we are together and reason why you are apart for awhile. When you cross over to the next world, there is no doubt that you will spend a lot of time together, but for now you still have a purpose left to do in this life. When you find that purpose, then it will be easier to let him go so that he can do what he is supposed to do in the next world, but you should feel comfortable in taking your time doing it. I can imagine that it is a very difficult process for you.
Dear Mr. Richard, I have had this really weird dream recently. I was an anthropomorphic animal along with others from Looney Tunes and Garfield Show. We were spies and our mission was to figure out spy on this new snobby characters from the cartoon that had taken their spotlight, and figure out why they were so popular. (And I was actually quite good at being a spy. 😉 ) in the end, we figured out why, and we all saw Looney toons and Garfield Show back in the limelight! So, yeah…what’s going on here? XD
This is a response to Alexis’ dream,
Hi Alexis, When you are a cartoon character in a dream, it means that you have psychologically put distance from the real world so that you won’t be afraid to act. Spying and figuring out is like observing and analyzing so that can see what is going on when things go wrong and then put it back to functioning correctly. You obviously have that ability in real life, but there is some fear in implementing which you have to overcome in the same way a real spy would in the real world. The fear is real meaning that there would be real life consequences for the spying so you have to proceed with the ability with knowing that. It is actually an incredibly positive ability to have. It will help you understand lots of things like why and how people take the spotlight inappropriately.
I had a dream of being stuck in a multi storey car park.I wasn’t able to use the stairs as it was a derelict site and all of th stairs going down were not finished I tried the metal stairs they began to swing and break under my foot and I had to grab bars to get back up I the tried the wooden stairs the side panel hadn’t been nailed down so it fell I had a cup of tea in my hand that I had to through so I could do better I also had clumsy gloves on which weren’t helping The concrete stairs weren’t finished I was telling myself itc ok you can do this
This is a response to Kate’s dream,
Hi Kate, Being stuck in a multi-storey parking lots is analogous to being stuck in your life as if you are parked. It is like the part of you that wants to get somewhere with your life is stuck in parking lot that you can’t get out of. When you try to walk out, you just run into all kinds of difficulties. The positive thing is that you tell yourself you can do this. When someone is stuck (parked), it means that there is some negative energy inside that is based upon some past experience that doesn’t want to move forward. When you find where you became stuck, then you can learn how to get unstuck and move forward.
I opened the door of my lecturer’s house with my key because I was pressed. I entered and urinated on his sofa. Later sprayed perfume on it. I realised he was inside his room but didn’t bother to come out to chase me away. However another guy came inside his house but he went after him. Then it dawned on me that he saw but but decided to let me be till I left
This is a response to Posh’s dream,
Hi Posh, Urinating on your lecturer’s sofa means that you are so angry with your lecturer that you let your anger out on him, but then feel bad so you try to cover it up. He sees it but is not that bothered by it. What you need to do is to let go of anger so that you can let go of whatever he says or does. Often in school we get angry at teacher and then just do the wrong thing by expressing it. It is better to just let it go, do what you are required to do and then put it aside so you can do the requirements and get on with important things
hi!
my dream was we have many maids and im living with my bf. nothing is unusual until the neighbor’s maid treated me like a mess. she told my bf that i was not around in the house but she just locked me in the room. i even asked my brother if i was just dreaming. my brother said no. it was real and i suddenly woke up. everthing was just a dream. what does it mean? thank you
This is a response to Yna’s dream,
Hi Yna, Having many maids and living with your boyfriend is a symbol for having a lot of help and companionship in your life which is everything you need right now in your life. However, as soon as you have one negative person in your life like the negative maid then you lose your boyfriend which is the symbol of your connection to others. The reason that you are wondering if you are dreaming or not is because the experience is very real in real life. You pay attention to the one negative rather than the many positive voices and people. You need to let go of focusing on the negative so that you can live in all of the positive things you have in life. This is called living in grace.
