But I had another dream about this beautiful room with red and black heart pillows and beautiful walls. But there was this cat and when I went to go in the the room hm the cat hissed at ne and said in this freaky voice I had 30 seconds to leave the room so I tried to hold the door shut but the knob started moving and I couldn’t hold the door shut then it flew open and there was no one behind the door and I heard a Voice say HOLD ON I woke up and ny heart was beating so fast I thought it was real was this cat and when I went to go in the the room the cat hissed at me and said in this freaky voice YOU HAVE 30 seconds to leave the room NOOOOW so I shut the door scared and tried to hold the door shut but the knob started moving and I couldn’t hold the door shut it felt like someone very strong was trying to turn the knob. then it flew open and there was no one behind the door and I heard a scarey deep Voice say HOLD ON the cat ran under the bed and I woke up and my heart was beating so fast I thought it was real. What does this mean
This is a response to Roxanne’s dream,
Hi Roxanne, The context of the dream is going into a beautiful room. This means that when you go to the place inside of yourself where your true beauty is, you are fearful that someone is going to break in and do some harm to you. In real life this keeps you from becoming your truly beautiful self. The fear you have is the fear of people who are not really themselves as if they are not there. You open the door to see them, but they are not there. To get over the fear you have to go into your beautiful self and be there for a long time until you are confident with it. Then you can bring other people into your life who also have selves, but stay away from those who are not themselves at all.
I had a dream about my crush where I was by his apartment and he came out on the balcony and I waved with a hopeful expression on my face and said hi. He crouched down on his balcony to get closer to me and said “Are you really sure about this?” I looked at him in surprise and nodded. Then he came down stairs and we talked for a bit and then his friend came over and he frowned before looking at me. He said “You two deserve to be with each other.” Then he walked away, I was really confused and chased after him. I grabbed his arm and he looked back at me. I said, “I like you!” He looked at me with a surprised look on his face, but he also hesitated. “But my friend likes you.” I frowned and looked into his eyes. “But I don’t like him, I like you!” He smiled and looked happy at that, before he bit his lip in hesitation and then finally grabbing me at my waist and kissing me.
What does this dream mean?
This is a response to Jenny’s dream,
Hi Jenny, I am a little bit confused about the way you wrote this. This dream says that if you are attracted to something or someone and it is a good match that you should go for it rather than hesitate, even if the other person has slight hesitations. It needs some courage on your part to act this way in life.
my bf had a dream about us in a cemetery and we have to look for his car
This is a response to Raaniya’s dream,
Hi Raaniya, The cemetery is the place where you people are buried. There you are looking for his car. It is a strange thing to be doing. It is like in his life he is looking for a way to get around by going where the energy is dead, where people are dead metaphorically speaking. What you need to do is the opposite in your life which is to go where the energy is full of life, not dead, There you will get going.
Post anonymous, I had a scary drm that my elder sister was staring into her bedroom mirror suddenly she noticed something on her back that was heavy she noticed it was our dead younger sister that was on back as if she backed a baby and she was telling our dead sister that she was heavy on her but she didn’t listen to her. Secondly was when I had a drm that I went to my elder sister’s place but to my surprised I saw my niece who was staring @ me strangely where we were having our bath, in a big bowl of water where inside the bowl of water there was demacation but she was looking like a small witch staring @ me and I knew immediately that my sister and my nieces are witch in the drm I had in that drm.
This is for Anonymous, Hi, The issue from your sister in the first dream is that she is carrying the burden of the death of your younger sister. What happened is that the family didn’t do the proper grieving process and didn’t let go of the younger sister so now your elder sister is carrying the burden. This is turning her and her children into witches which means they are trying to use their dark sides for power. What you need to do is work really hard to become the positive person you and not be affected by what is happening in your family.
I had a early miscarriage 2 months ago.Even before confirming Im pregnant I had a strong feeling dat Im having my baby.I felt an unusual presence & I used to talk placing my hand there.
After dat I had a dream of my tiny baby (it was a girl) crying & telling me ‘mumma it hurted me too much,I cried a lot but u n dad didnt heard me’.I was crying along with my baby & when I tried to go near her she faded away.Again I had a strange dream;I was holding my newborn baby it turned so tiny(to my miscarried girl)dat when I tried to hold my tiny baby,my newborn fell down. After this incident I told my husband about my dreams and he told me ‘not to worry she will be happy in your next dreams because she knows you loves her.’And yes! In my next dream she was so happy and hugged me.I know she is too tiny but I can feel dat hug.She is so pretty and always wear angel dress,she plays in meadows with other babies and tries to catch butterflies.When she fail to catch them I smile at her and she gives me a kiss and again goes away with butterflies.I dream that almost every night.
Im a Hindu but I believe in Guardian Angels.It surprises me that I see my tiny one as a pretty angel playing in Heaven and I feel she is protected there.Whenever I weeps for her she comforts me.I dont know wats going on!It may sound dramatic for some people.But it is wats happening with me.Can anyone please tell me?Anyone had such experiences?I really want to know if her soul is comforting me through dreams.
This is a response to Mira’s dream,
Hello Mira, Wow. What amazing dreams! The first dreams tell of her experience in your womb that lead to the miscarriage. The other dream that is positive is about her experience in the next world where she has been transplanted to a new garden. As she grows in the next world she will eventually be your companion like a helping angel.
Hi. I can’t believe I’m having the guts to tell this, but here we go. I dreamt I was leaving somewhere (I think it was a language course I did cos my cousin was there and we stuffed together) and anyway, she offered me a ride home and I told yes and we started talking about something. I think- I really can’t remember for sure- she was either complaining about something or musing out loud but anyway, I noticed she kept passing both her mother’s house- where she lives- and my gran’s house- where I was going to- and kept taking the wrong exit, I think rather deliberately, and driving around and around, probably so she could whine more. Anyway, I gently tell her she missed the next exit and when she does again I tell her I really want to go home and she just enters another street entirely and I tell her I want to talk anymore and attempt to exit the car. She follows me on foot and suddenly she reaches into my cleavage and starts pinching my nipples, making then peek out of my bra cups, sucking them and I just give in into the hotness of it all and we just walking through the streets like that, not caring people were staring, I was just so horny. (I have a secret fetish: I confess I fantasise to it to pleasure myself sometimes. imagining random, sometimes even stranger persons doing what she was doing to me) and I remember climaxing from it too. The dream shifted and I was once again leaving the course on another day and my cousin again offered me a ride, this time with a knowing smirk at me, as of telling me what would happen and my neighbour put some loud music and I woke up before I saw if anything sexy happened, but I was wet. One thing though, the cousin in question, in real life, isn’t very close to me and trust me when I say I don’t harbour any secret feelings about her. We hardly ever meet, but when we do it’s with that false kind of cheerfulness for she’s very cynical.
This is a response to Lizzy’s dream,
Hi Lizzy, That was so awesome that you had the courage to share this dream. You can also email me directly at dreamsforpeace@gmail.com if you don’t want to do this in a public way. Good courage though. In a dream getting turned on and climaxing is a bit different than real life. For one thing any sexual dream takes a huge amount of self discipline to interpret for yourself because the tendency after feeling the positive sexual feelings is to go out and want to have a lot of sex right away. Of course you wouldn’t do it that way in real life anyway. The meaning is metaphoric. That means that the sex stands for something else that you have to work on. Your dream is not about intercourse. It is about being really turned on until it gets ecstatic. So what the dream is actually try to teach you about is that you can get turned on and ecstatic about life and doing positive things as if you were being stimulated by another. The key is that need to learn how to get up inside. You fantasize the sex in your life because while you can feel it, you cannot get turned on or up about your own positive life and where it is going. Try to keep your self disciplined about this because when you have a lot of up feelings about life, it will take you a long long way. The sex will take care of itself. Do you understand how it works?
I was going back to school for the first time in years there was a nerdy looking boy and he freaked me out the first time I saw him but I just ignored it and continued on I saw some old friends and hang out with them for a while and then there was a staircase and I walked up the staircase and sat down this the nerdy looking boy found me and sat down next to me practically sitting on my lap and then he laid his head down on me and there was a little and there was a girl with brown hair and a maroon shirt and she said down in front of me and she was cleaning the stairs and then I try to get up and I said excuse me darlin and the clingy boy stayed with me like he was stuck to me so I called out for help and then he said I’m tired I’m committing suicide and then the guys were coming to help me they said are you crazy and tryed to get the blade away from him clingy boy cut his throat and then cut the guy who was in front of him throat
This is a response to Brooke’s dream,
Hi Brooke, Going back to your high school in your dream means that you have some unfinished business. The unfinished business about high school has to do with the nerdy looking boy hanging around you. Who is he? Why is he there? He represents the male qualities in you that need to be developed, but you see your masculine qualities as a weak little nerdy boy. What you need is a better image of your masculine qualities such as strength. See yourself as strong so that the nerdy guy in you doesn’t have to be killed. You need strength.
i dreamt of a tranagender who trying to strangle me…
This is a response to Vavani’s dream,
Hi Vavani, A transgender is a person born as one sex, but psychologically believe they are another. What they are trying to do in your dream is strangle you with their belief about themselves so that you will accept them. The difficulty with transgenders is that they cannot accept who they were born as like a woman and then develop other qualities that are masculine like strength and assertiveness. They don’t want to have accept the feminine qualities because they want to protect themselves with the other or run away from the other. What you can do is to be open to their struggle, because they don’t want to have to struggle with the issue.
i dreamt had a fight with my dad’s girlfriend and exs, there was a fire in his home because one of the tried to burn me and she burned herself i tried to help my but no one was around he was also very drugged up and he fell and was hurt really bad. Also my father is not dead in real life.
This is a response to Anonymous’ dream, Hi, In this dream you conceivably are having a fight with your dad’s girlfriend and ex’s because you want to have a relationship with them and they are taking him away from you. What you need to realize first is that your dad is choosing them and not you so even when he is with you, he is thinking of being with them. Your father is going to get really burnt by what he is doing. There is no doubt at this at all. You should stay clear of the relationships until he really changes. He is a big mess and your involvement will only get you hurt. There are much better relationships to be in even if he is your father.
Hello pls post me anonymous, I’m comfort and I had a dream that as I ws going out an old man pured urine on me and I ws in mess bt went to My elder sister’s place to change up my wear bt to my shock she told me I shouldn’t off the dress the old man poured urine on. Bt I didn’t listen to her bt desided to off the dress and changed into a beautiful dress bt she ws not happy as I changed it.
This is a response to Anonymous dream about the urine,
Having urine poured on means that the man attempted to humiliate you in the worst kind of way. Your elder sister doesn’t want you to change because she wants you to stay humiliated. Being humiliated allows her to be higher than you. Fortunately you didn’t less and went for the beauty. Both the man and your sister were attempting to keep you down in a lower position, but you rose up above. This is what you need to do with all of your life, to take the beautiful path which means to put on the clothing of a beautiful and uplifting character that is totally dignified.
I had a dream of a huge 12 story house a city bus with my deceased father and I met up and went go kart riding as I told him to move in my house with me that he could have a whole floor to his self during the go kart event it quit working and I had to push it he got I’ll BC I pulled the wrong chain but said it was OK we didn’t lose gas I never made it to all the floors of that house as I tried to in my dream idk what all this means please help
This is a response to Lynette’s dream,
Hi, Being with your deceased father in your dream in a big house means that you have a big self with a lot of potential. Him going go kart riding with you means that you are looking to have his energy to move around in your house. Whatever energy that he had in his life that was positive is what you need to make your self move positively in your life. You can think about what his energy was like and then go for it.
My dream starts a completely dark room theres a doorway, my late husband walks thru with his hands held out, he turns into my current husband. The beautiful bright light in the doorway is unbelievable. What does it mean. My husband now is also sick
This is a response to Antonia’s dream,
Hi Antonia, Probably when your late husband died it put you into darkness, but when you found a new one it made everything light up for you. This has just as much to do with you as him because you bring a lot of light to relationships and it is exactly what your sick husband needs from you, to be a bright light. It will aid his healing.
I had a dream in this dream thier was a park with lots of trees the seem to have yellow and golden leaves thy where beautiful in color thier where also animals in my dream such as those you would find in the woods as I walk in further a little girl came to me she was pretty maybe about 4 years old with a smile holding a frog with a very narrow snot similar to an indain purple frog but its top was golden same as the leafs in the wooded park and a white under belly she handed me the frog and laughed as I held it then I handed back to her and she smiled again and that’s when I woke up.
This is a response to Kingstep’s dream,
Hi, The virtue that the dream is calling you to is awe. This is the energy that combines beauty with the feeling of being in the presence of much greater energy than yourself. Beauty is the lure that attracts us to the divine. When you are in awe, it is how you get to the divine inside of you. The girl means that you are young in the ability to do this quality. Undoubtedly spending time in nature and parking yourself there will help. Frogs thrive where there is lots of water. It means that for you to experience the awe of the divine inside there is some kind of a need for cleansing. This means getting in the pure waters and letting go of the dirty aspects of life.
First this is a bit long.. All kind of super random bits.. I usally have fun finding them oit on my own but.. I just, cant seem to nail it..
First its this cut scene like hi def, but on an old syle projector with film..
Its a flat land, I would say illinois,
But it skips around like the projector i mentioned..
First fast flashes of a single rural road, and its feilds on either side, sunflowers in the wind, at different angles.. Almost like traveling down it.
Then there is the lone house, broken decrepid two story home. Again with the frezze frame flashes.
Out side Then im inside of it, terrible condition abandened.. Broken ,
Then im running up the stairs with this chick and it flashes to a window that overlooks the feilds..
Then we kiss and there is this giggle, that echos through thw whole dream, not scary, its cute. But it reverberates through everything.
This was weird because it felt like a memory, almost like it already had happened. Cant really explain it, it was just different.
Then
Im looking at this dam of sorts, almost like in a spillway or something. Im looking at it from above and There is an abundance of murky water on its side and its almost to the point of over flowing. Im on the other side with an unknown assosiciate, trying to fill a hole in the dam, with concrete. Relativly small hole though..
Hard as im trying to fill this hole, no matter how much cement im packing into it, it just gets wet and the water keeps pushing out. The person im with is urging me to just stop, and continue walking down the spill way.
Of course I dont listin , then we are completly under water.
Then.. The random part, I like “zoom out” and im looking at north americia
But there seems to be a special focus on the coasts of each contry , the south coast of the U.S, and the north of Canada’s.
Then Im standing in front of this minigun looking straight down its barrels that are firing continuosly, not being hurt just observing, nothing else just this gun.
Finaly im whisked to another memory, thing, dont have them often but , they just feel different, more rooted.. Idk..
it was weird like an older me.
Beatiful day, clouds its like I can feel the wind.. Prolly a fan lol..
Inbetween two highways like at a rest stop. Waiting in a car, convertable cope, really nice copper in color..
Although im not sure its in production..
I want to build it though, frame up..
I get out wearing a hawaiin casual shirt, button up felt like silkish had florals on it.. Not really my style but hey..
And I let somone in, not sure who, shut the door and drive away..
then it was over..
I know its alot, I get the basic meanings.. But not the ones that feel like past and mabe future..
Or how if they even have anything to do with each other.
This is a response to Michael’s dream,
Hi Michael, The first significant aspect of the dream is when you get to the house. This is symbolic of your own decrepit abandoned self. The problematic part is kissing the girl in that self as you are looking out the window. The kiss cements the abandonment so it affects the vision of your life in a negative way. This means that you have been through some kind of abandonment in your life that affects your vision of possibilities. Then you are trying to patch up the dam of murky waters but nothing you try works. The murky waters represent the relationship of the culture around you. It is murky in that its motives are impure. However you try to stop relating to the impurities they still get through. And this is because of the periods of abandonment earlier in life. When you jump out to get a vision, you see big guns which is American culture. After that your are in a car waiting casually. You are waiting because you don’t have an idea of how to move forward with a vision of who you are. It goes back to the abandonment in the past. Abandonment is solved by being united with your true self. Then you can be with others with pure intentions and have a big vision of something powerful and then move forward in it. But it all starts with the abandonment in the house in the prairies.
Part of my dream was That I was at home and that two men, chauffeurs, came into my home to inspect it and make arrangements because a rich lady, or royal possibly, was going to come over, The chauffeur’s went outside to secure the outside and make arrangements to prepare out there also.
While waiting. After a while I went to check if the lady was coming and my daughter had locked the door, I hurriedly went to unlock the door, but no one ever showed up.
Another one;
I was in my newly remodeled bathroom and a young beautiful girl stood casually at the doorway wearing a white strapless dress. That had crystal like adornment. Like a wedding dress. She was liking directly at me I was standing on far end and was a little afraid but not much, she send so real, I could sense she was real, I don’t know how else to describe it,
The lighting was very dim- kind of dark.
She smiled. As I stood here and said if I would like to see her dress in the light, I would then really see it clearly. The light came on and it was a very beautiful white crystal dress. She had a casual, demeanor and her arm casually against the door frame and with other arm moved it up and down to show me the dress and looked at me as I admired the dress.
This is a response to Linda’s dreams,
Hi Linda, Wow. Amazing dreams. The dreams want you to feels as if you are royalty and beautiful on the inside. In the first dream you expect the royalty to come but she doesn’t show up. This is because the royalty is you and you need to feel what it is like inside of you to be royal. That is the big challenge for you. You never see her because you cannot even begin to imagine it. Being royal does not mean being like a real queen or princess. It means feeling like as if you were a queen. The best way to start is to just practice the feeling over and over until you begin to believe it. The second dream is about beauty. You are the girl in the dream, but you don’t know it yet. The quality is beauty inside. You have huge amounts of it, but you don’t use it because you don’t see yourself as the girl. You don’t identify yourself as having beauty like that. It is inner beauty we are talking about. Not outer beauty. When you have it, your life will be incredible. With this dream go inside the girls skin and feel it. Then you can start living out of the metaphor that life is beautiful. Life is beautiful and you are queenly. Believe it. Act it.
i dreamt of a familiar guy but i dont know him, he gave me flowers, chocolates, and big bear. He is in our house with his two guy friends. we are sitting together in a couch and i feel butterfies in my stomach and so im happy with him. my parents likes him so much . he looks handsome and rich. but in reality i have a boyfriend thats why it makes me confused why am i dreaming of another guy?
This is a response to Clouie’s second dream,
If you do the work of the first dream, then this is what it will be like for you. You will have lots of admirers and everything will be sweet. It doesn’t mean you will lose your current boyfriend, but that you will have a lot more choice. When you let go of the negative energy you have inherited from your mom that has fear in it, you will have so many wonderful guy friends and other friends as well that will make your life sweet.
Last night i dreamt that i’m receiving death threat over an unknown voice from a mobile and warns me that if i did not pay him five thousand my mother will die. What does it mean? Please answer..
This is a response to Clouie’s first dream about the death threat.
Hi Clouie, In this dream the metaphor (not real life) is that your mother is going to get killed if you don’t do what is being asked. When I say it is a metaphor, it means that it is as if your mother going to be killed if you don’t pay off someone. This means that it is the self of your mother inside of you that is going to die. It is not your actual mother. It is the bad energy of your mother that is going to die inside, but it seems like it is her whole self. So what you want to do is to let the threat happen so that she actually dies inside of you. Then you can be your true self, who you truly are. It sounds strange, and the dreams makes is so fearful, but really the great thing is that your mother so needs to die in you. This means that you have energy inside of you that is like your mom and it controls you. You need to let it go, die to it. Go back in the dream and tell the guy, “great, do it, I am have been waiting for someone to do it.” It is not real life, it is in the dream experience so it is ok. Then you will actually have a better relationship with your mom and be free to act out of your true self.
Thank you so much for the answers Sir.. it was really appreciated.. i hope you continue helping people to find answers in understanding our dreams. God bless you.. and thank you again 🙂
I dreamed I was standing in a parking lot by myself with white bricks everywhere
This is a response to Eric’s dream,
Hi Eric, Standing in a parking means that you have parked yourself in one place ready to build something that is useful. The next step is for you to take initiative by overcoming the inertia of standing still. You need to see the project your life wants you to build and then go for it. It doesn’t mean bricks necessarily. It means that you build a life that is solid like with bricks and with a pure intention like white.
I had a dream last night that my family and I were holding hands with my deceased father and we were crossing the street together. Can this mean anything?
This is a response to Ani Beglar’s dream,
Hi Ani, What this dream means is that the energy your deceased father had in real life is what is going to keep you together now as a family. You do this when you remember the positive energy he had, the things he did to hold you together, and then you all need to do that with each other. This will honour him and keep you united. Since you were the dreamer, you are responsible for carrying this message to your family and making it work.
I am happily married and have a one year old son. I had a dream last night that My husband and I went to my old apartment complex that I lived in previously before I met my husband. He went in to the leasing office alone to ask if our apartment was ready and I waited outside. I was very pregnant in my dream and I was standing looking at one of the apartment doors as if expecting an old friend to still live there. The door opened and a strange man walked out and I told myself that my friend must have moved out. The strange man asked me if he could walk me to my car and I politely said no thank you. He asked again and politely declined again. Then he said, ” I’ll ask you again, can I walk you to your car”. I told him I’m not going to my car but thanks anyway. So the strange man leaves. My husband walks out with a key but says the apartment is not ready yet but we can hold on to the key until it is. I the step in some dog poo so I go to the side and try to scrape it off my sandal on the sidewalk and my husband sits on a bench. I then walk into a corridor that leads to the leasing office and the strange man stands in the doorway and says, “I will ask you one last time if you need me to walk you to your car.” Before I turn to look at him I said no I’m not going to my car and my husband is waiting for me outside. I turn to face him and he’s holding a silver gun. He then goes towards my husband and sees another man that he assumes is my husband and begins to attack him. I’m looking through the corridor glass and I’m trying to tell my husband to come to me but he starts walking towards the strange guy as if to help the other man. Then I woke up.
This is a response to Hanadi’s dream,
Hi Hanadi, The problem in the dream is that you go back to the old apartment building where lived before marriage. What does this mean? It means that when you are pregnant and full of possibilities for the future instead of going forward to the future to a new home, to a new self, you revert back to your old self. When you go back to your old self, you have uncomfortable encounters with strangers who appear ready to harm your husband. This means that the thing you have develop in yourself to go forward in your new self in your new life is to get over the fear that you had in your old self, which is the fear of strangers. Getting over the fear of strangers means that you see everyone in the world, not as a stranger, but as a family member that you can embrace. This is your destiny in your life and who you are, to make the world a place where there is love and unity.
