  1. Caitlyn,
    This is really a great dream to have. In many ways it shows how compassionate the spiritual dimension is by sending you a comforting thought about your dog as it tries to move you along your spiritual path. The two great qualities that a dog has are friendship and loyalty. As your dog was that to you, now he has come back in your dream to tell you that that is what you now need to be to yourself. There was a great wisdom in you having a dog as a pet for a long time because he taught you those wonderful qualities. Now that he is gone, you have to develop those aspects of yourself so that you can be that way to others. Jesus’ message, above everything else, is about love and friendship. When you ask for a dream with your dog, it is as if your soul is trying to connect with the part of you that the dog touched. The world can have a lot of coldness in it, but it takes people like yourself, who has been nurtured by a dog, to warm it up. Dogs do not hold onto negative feelings about people. They give their love generously and they keep coming back. No matter what you are feeling a dog is always warm and affectionate when you enter your house.
    Wouldn’t it be great if we could all be like that to others. I am sure that this what Jesus wants for you because that is what He taught.

    The hard part of course is to let go of your sadness because it keeps you from being the loving person that you are.

  2. Dear Richard,
    Around six weeks ago I prayed to Jesus, to give me a dream of my deceased dog ‘Lucy’. She’s been dead since December 2012, and although it’s been quite some time since her passing, I still feel ‘raw’ in my heart.
    Last night I recieved a dream. I was standing in my kitchen, near the door. I heard scratching outside, as if claws were being scratched against the wood. When I opened the door, I was overjoyed to see my bullmastiff sitting on the doorstep. Outside, there was nothing but whiteness, I thought it looked a bit lie snow, but I couldn’t be sure. I knelt down beside Lucy, and I noticed how cold she was. So I kissed her paws and cried on her fur so she was warm again. Then I just shut the door and went back inside.
    When I awoke this morning I was glowing inside. Did Lucy actually visit me? The dream hadn’t been on my mind the night before.
    Thanks

  3. Sandra,
    When you have a dream like this, it is best to look at the process of cheating more as a metaphor rather than cheating in the sense that your husband is having sex with another woman. Who you are both cheating on is your own true selves. When you are upset at him, you are actually upset at your own self for being the same way he is. Cheating on your true selves means that instead of developing who you truly are inside, you seek temporary comfort doing other things.
    Being true to yourself means that you are in the search for new ways to grow internally. When you are not growing especially when you are married, then the tendency is to get temporary highs from outside of the relationship. The starting place of growth is to look inside and find what new positive capacities you need for your life.

  4. Well I dream my husband was talking on the phone as soon as he saw me he put it way I took the phone way from him and ran with the phone cause he was chasing me to take it way so I ran to his sister house and told her that his brother was cheating on me and then I woke up but the wired thing is that I told.my husband I had this dream and he told me he had dream as well that he cheated on me why did we both had this dream?

  5. Dear Confusion,
    It is a lot easier to be clear about the dream if you imagine a world, like the dream world, where physical bodies don’t exist as we know them. The dream is trying to show you that you have a great deal of love in your heart, that you can become attracted and successful in relating to others and developing closeness. If you were living in a kind of spiritual dimension where loving and being with more than one person didn’t matter, then you could probably have an infinite number of close relationships like Sam and Jordan. Imagine that!!!
    There is only really one reason we have the concept of loyalty between a couple in a relationship and that is because it preserves families. When you are not in a marriage where children are at stake, then loyalty isn’t such a big issue. Everything before a family is more like an experiment to check out the character of the other person to see if they will be a good mate.
    So the dream is trying to show you that you have a lot of love to give and can attract a lot of people, but you believe you can only love one person according to the cultural law. The dream wants you to break the law so that you can show your love more universally to others.
    What you have to be careful about is confusing love in your heart for ownership of another person. If you have made an agreement with someone like in marriage, then the loyalty between you has to be strongly safeguarded, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t have a lot of love for others. This is the important thing for you to feel confident in your love for other human beings and to find a partner who is not jealous of your love for others.
    It is sort of like being in love with a lot of different people at once. It is actually how we were all meant to live, but there is so much jealousy and so little opening of hearts that people tend to hold back from it. The reason you are confused is more that the world is confused and doesn’t look so kindly on people like you have a lot of love in your heart.

    The huge huge key for you in finding a mate is to find someone who has absolutely no jealousy. Then you will be free to have a loving relationship, be loyal to him, and then also give out a lot of love to others.

  6. In my dream, I’m pretty sure I was completely in love. I wasn’t entirely sure of who it was, but I am 90% sure it was one of my friends/flings/sort of ex-boyfriend. (Sometimes we still have feelings for each other, but we ended it on good terms because of long-distance.) Let’s call him ‘Jordan’. So Jordan and I were in a relationship, I’m sure, and even in the dream I had this sense of compassion and adoration in the pit of my stomach when I was with him. The intimacy felt surreal and it was definitely recognisable. I could even feel butterflies. I’m not sure if it was the dream me, or the actual physical me. There were some recognisable school friends that I could pick out in the background. Even a teacher was in my dream, and I felt a need to impress her in the dream. Anyway, Jordan and I were great and then in some parts of the dream, Jordan would disappear and this other guy would come along. I didn’t have a clue who this guy was, although I feel like I have seen him before. From the attention I got from this other guy, ‘Sam’ was exhilarating. I felt loved with having two guys in my life. In different parts of the dream, I would have Jordan one second and when he disappeared, Sam would appear. It felt like I was two-timing and cheating on Jordan. But the dream me didn’t seem to mind, although somewhere in my brain it was like I could feel like it was wrong, like I was watching myself with two guys. Near the end, I was with Sam when Jordan showed up and saw us. He didn’t look mad, but really saddened and upset. He ran, and I sprinted after him. I broke down crying because I knew that I was sorry and I felt so bad. He disappeared and I had an emotional breakdown. After it happened, Jordan was gone. The details were fuzzy, but one of my best friends, ‘Sierra’ supported me and told me it was all going to be okay. Another one of my friends ‘Angela’ was in the dream too, and I was just about to tell her, when it suddenly didn’t happen?
    The dream ended when my alarm rang and I woke up with tears streamed down my face. All the emotions and feelings felt so real. All of it was like raw emotion, that really effected my mind and body. My heart was pounding and I could still feel the sense of sorrow and guilt. Throughout the whole day, even just daydreaming in class, all my thoughts would wander back to this one dream. What does this dream mean? Does it have significance in my life? I don’t currently have a boyfriend, but I feel like I must know the true meaning of this dream because it is effecting my ability to get on with life. I am so confused.

  7. In the beginning of my dream,
    I was going to an haunted house with friends and everything was kind of lame even down to the monsters in it when we got out of the ride we saw one of our friends older brother and he was working the night shift in the house. We then left to go do drugs afterwords we started freaking out and then we all got stuck with glass on our feet when we went to pick the brother up we slept in the car waiting when I woke up I saw a last with a baby and realized I had to go home when I got home my family and friends were pre gaming to go to a party by our friends (whom we seem to be best friends with) the kardashians before that though my family was encouraging me to have sex with a boy who seem to signify a light blue color (as did my beat friend) on top of a younger version of myself (as weird as that sounds) soon we got to the party which seemed to be for Robert Patterson who seem to be like a brother to me and I thought a great gift for him seem to be a playlist when a professor we knew did two songs each persons playlist but it was forbidden to look at I kept trying to get it to him because he really wanted to know what was on there but people kept stoping me my boyfriend in it kept wearing dark colors and people asked me about his whereabouts and I shrugged it off
    This is a reoccurring thing me trying to do a task but never getting to

  8. This is a response to Hcsgfr’s dream,
    It is easier to explain this dream if you understand the age when you had this dream. From the age of 7-13 is when your mind develops so that you can think for yourself and then make decisions based upon those thoughts. The shadow man represents the invisible dark force in the culture that does not want you to think for yourself, but just go along with what you are told by those who have the power and authority.

    A person who thinks and acts independently is a huge threat to the way things currently are because there are certain forces in the world that do not want the culture to change. They just want to maintain their unfair advantage. So they put in shadow thoughts that make you believe that if you don’t do what they want, that things are going to go really badly for you.

    To overcome the shadow man the first thing you can validate is your own mind and your own thoughts because they are the keys to change. Then you can replace the shadow thoughts with positive ones like “change is awesome”.

  9. This is a response to Caroline’s dream in the Convent. What is really interesting to me about this dream is that you were in a pokey little room in a convent when you got the tape of Elvis and the money.

    The message of Jesus which is the way to freedom is that of love. For whatever reason Christians and other religions as well believe that the holy life is to be cloistered and deprived in a convents or monasteries, but the essential message of all religions is love and service in the community. The mother of Jesus would want you to be loving toward everyone and serve in your community and the world. The miracle is that when you act in this manner, the money comes to support you so you can continue to love and serve.

    It won’t come if you are cloistered up like being in a convent and keeping yourself away from others. Religion is meant to be a force that serves the community in a positive way that is open and freer as opposed to so restrictive and closed.

    So the important thing is to get out and be more loving and then all of the miracles will happen.

  10. This comment is a response to Margaret’s dream about the tornado. To understand this dream it is important first to understand what a tornado is as a metaphor and why it would come into a dream. A tornado in the real world is a swirling wind or tremendous speed that destroys everything in its path in a short period and then it dies out. Knowing this you can ask yourself what a tornado is as a metaphor. What is something that is like a tornado in the human world? Usually a tornado is a person with a bad character that can put a lot of fear into others and do a lot of damage to them in a short time and then leave them devastated.

    The reason for the granddaughter in the dream is that your granddaughter is going to be swept up by a really negative force. This is because when you were about her age the same thing happened to you.

    To solve the dream you are being asked to be the opposite which is a really positive force in your granddaughter’s life. You can’t do that if you are fearful for her because the fearful energy will cause you to both freeze up around each other. So you first have to let go of the fear and then you can can relate to her in really positive ways. Sometimes people benefit from getting help in letting go of the fear.

  11. When I was a kid, around 7 to 13 years old, I would often dream that I was getting ready for bed, I would go upstairs, and go to my room. My grandparents would still be downstairs watching tv, and provided background noise. I would then hear the creak of someone walking up the stairs, so I would go over to the banister to see who it was. It was a shadow man, no eyes or face, just an adult sized shadow in the shape of a human coming up the stairs. Terrified, I would run back into my room and get on the bed. The shadow would enter my room and walk all the way up to me. I would scream in my dream and start crying, and the shadow would get really close and scream back in my face, and it sounded just like me, as if he was mocking me. This was not sleep paralysis, the shadow man was actually a part of my dream. He rarely did anything to me and if he did it was almost a tickling gesture across my stomach. Seems harmless but for some reason I would dread this every time I had this dream, which would be at least once a month, over the course of 6 years. The waking up point would be either as he is screaming at me in my voice, or as he is tickling my stomach with his cold fingers. I know that whatever we dream is a reflection of some part of ourselves, but something about him just seemed so evil, everything felt so deliberate, and I would be filled with overwhelming despair. I had this dream once recently, even though I hadn’t had it for almost 10 years.

  12. I was living in a convent, I had a pokey little bedroom and a box with my belongings. I looked through my things and found an Elvis Presley cassette tape called ‘Miracle’. ( I am a bit of an Elvis fan but have never heard of this song). There was a letter attached from my late Nanna it said. To my Dear Caroline, listen to this song. There was about £80 in notes there as well, I think from my nanna. (and I am a bit hard up at the moment). Then I escaped out of the window, comforted by the fact I had some money. Then I woke up. The dream was so vivid I couldn’t sleep.

    Today I searched Google for Elvis songs called Miracle. I found one called ‘Miracle of the Rosary’ sung by Elvis. I also found that Rosary’s are those Catholic beads, which links back to the convent in my dream. What could this mean? The lyrics to the song are below. Was my Nanna sending me a prayer? She was Christian.

    Oh Blessed Mother we pray to Thee
    Thanks for the miracle of Your Rosary
    Only You can hold back
    Your Holy Son’s hand
    Long enough for the whole world to understand
    Hail Mary full of grace
    The Lord is with Thee
    Blessed are thou among women
    And blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus
    Oh Holy Mary dear Mother of God
    Please pray for us sinners
    Now and at the hour of our death
    And give thanks once again
    For the miracle of Your Rosary

    Many thanks

    Caroline

  13. Amy,
    The important thing to realize in this dream is that your motive and your actions are to help the organization out. When you are worried about being late, it is because of the storm that it causes in the supervisors head. They try to act, in many cases, as if your work belongs to them as if it were a possession, but your work is actually helping the organization rather than hindering it. The goal of the dream is to allow you to have a positive attitude of helpfulness and realize that you are valuable wherever you are because of it. You will run into bad supervisors if you believe the work belongs to them. You can just let them go and be helpful and then life will always bring lots of joy.

  14. Hi there

    I have a been having a recurring dream every couple of weeks for a few months.. I changed jobs about a year ago and I keep dreaming that I am helping out at my old job (while still at my current one) but I’m always late for my shift there. When I realise I’m late I only have a couple of minutes til my shift starts. I get distressed and rush to get ready. But I never make it. I don’t even call to let them know because it’s not my regular job and I think who cares…

    What could this mean?

    I have always been one to have recurring dreams but usually they are of places I do not know of. This one makes me wake up distressed because it involves all real people and places.

    I would really appreciate any insight you may have of this dream. Thankyou, Amy. 27 yrs of age.

  15. Ryshina,
    There are three important symbols in the dream, the frozen water, the baby and the woman. Water in a dream is a relational element. A frozen lake means that there is something about the relationships in your life that is cold. Coldness in a relationships prevents the opposite which is warmth or closeness. The lady can be other people in general or it can be a part of yourself. So what the dream says is that there is a part of your relational life with others where you experience a lot of coldness. The baby means newness so when you add the baby into the dream it says that when you are going after new relationships with others you experience coldness and the relationships fall apart.
    You try to solve it by prayer.

    While prayer is good place to turn, the answer to your prayer is inside yourself not outside. The virtue that solves the dream is warmth. There are two ways to go about it. You could pray for warmth from others and then hope it comes or you could transform the parts of you that are cold and become a much warmer person. To do the second part you have to have a certain humility about the fact that you are at times cold with others even when others are really cold to you. To change the coldness to warmth one of the person’s in the relationship has to decide to be warmer. The best person to do that would be you. That is why you have the dream.

    The more love and warmth you can give out, the warmer everything will get and then all of your relationships will improve.

  16. I had a really disturbing dream about a woman on a frozen lake holding a baby. I went to reach out and get the baby and started to walk towards the lady the ice began to crack. I grabbed the baby and tried to run really fast because I can’t swim. As I was running I lost my balance the baby fell face first into the frozen lake. The dream transitioned from there to a church scene. Not a funeral but more like a prayer service.

  17. Dear Myra,
    To understand fully what the dream means the first and most important aspect of dream work is that the dream world is a metaphorical one that sometimes looks like our “real” world. So when you prayed and went to bed, you got the answer that you wanted in the dream world. You wanted to get back together and be intimate and you were. The first thing that you can say about this is that there is a place (the dream world) where you have the relationship you want with him.
    So the goal for you is how to get the dream world to be actualized in the real world.

    The problem in the relationship is pretty simple, but could be difficult to turn around. When you are in a relationship with him, you are dreaming about him being your superhero, but when you are out of relationship you are dreaming about being intimate with him. So if I am the guy and I am in relationship with you, then I am always under the pressure of being superman for you. This could work for awhile, but after some time it would grow old for the guy. No one wants to have to be a superhero in a relationship. What people want in a relationship is intimacy, but the only time you allow for intimacy is when you are out of relationship with him.

    So to turn the thing around this is what you have to do. You have to a superhero for yourself and develop closeness with him. Being a superhero means that you have to have your own empowerment and not expect the empowerment to come from your mate. When you feel empowered, then the relationship could have a chance to succeed. Otherwise it will keep ending up in the same place. You don’t allow for intimacy within the relationship because you have an expectation of him being a superhero. The reason this is problematic is that intimacy hinges on the ability to be vulnerable with each other. When you have to be a superhero, it means that you are not allowed to be vulnerable so you cannot be intimate.

    If you seriously work on empowerment everyday for a length of time, then the relationship will have a chance to succeed, but even if it does not succeed because maybe, he has found a new mate, then the next relationship you get into will be very successful. For now success depends upon empowerment.
