Dreams For Peace 
Dream that I was at some kind of event with croissant of ppl and this boy they I havnt seen for years and bearly know kept comeing up be hind me and tugging my hair in a teasing way then all of a sedentary I’m at a diffrent part of the event and he dose it againt and I see this in my dreams about 5 times
I also had a dream a wile back that some 1 was in my room saying knock the photo fram over knock the photo frame over and she will wake up I Hurd a bang and it woke me up and my photo frame was realy knocked over
Hi again Polly,
This dream shows you that your spirit has so much energy that it even affects the things in the physical world around you. Since you have a strong spirit, you need to use it in ways that will help people.
Thank you but when I woke up my photo fram was knocked over for real not in my dream
Dear Polly,
It is because of the positive strong spirit that you have that the frame is knocked over, not from energy where you actually touch.
Dear Polly,
The boy in the dream is tugging on your hair so that he can your attention. If you mentally go back in the dream, then what you can do is turn around and talk to the boy. Then you can see whether or not you want to continue the relationship. Teasing for boys is just a way that they do to get closer to girls because they don’t know how to do it other ways.
I dream that we run bcoz somebody kill us im the only one choice to swim the color brown river its very calm its moving slowly and the end there a big gate i climb it in other side is more safe i see lots of green grass and tree…
Dear Mary Rose,
In this dream you are running away from a really bad relationship in your life which is a good thing. The further you get away from the relationship the better your life will be. You will be able to calm down and be safe and then grow spiritually in new ways that weren’t possible in the relationship.
I was driving along the highway and I ran off the side of the road and I was falling and screaming but as I was falling down from very high up
I could see a big round hole that was filled with sand that I fell into. When I fell
Into the hole filled with sand I was able to land in it and walk away in harmed .
Dear Jackie,
Falling in a dream means falling from grace. You are driving which means that you trying to get to where you want to go in your life and then you fall. What you need to do in your life is to remember that what you have is not from your own efforts but from the mercy or grace of God. This means that you need to be thankful for the gifts you have and realize that you didn’t put them there. They were given to you. When you feel that kind of thankfulness for what you have been given, you will always get to where you want to go. It will be much easier to get there.
I had this dream that’s just kinda like I was dreaming about going through a normal day, except there were some parts that I didn’t get. I got in the car with my grandma at one point of the dream, and it was raining. We drove to a car washing place and saw my dad there. I had my phone with with and a joy texted me and asked me out on a date. I can’t remember exactly what the texts said, but I know he used the purple and red heart emojis and said something about ‘dea or tea?? I don’t know what that means. Then when I got home my mom was looking over my shoulder trying to read my texts. This dream is just confusing me. Does it mean I’m getting asked out soon or something? Idk
Dear Aminah,
What this dream is about is that you have a great ability to attract positive relations with guys. It is an inherited ability so just feel really positive about it. It will help you in your life a lot because you can attract all kind of positive people to your life.
Dreamt I was holding onto a waterfall terrified to let go then I convinced myself I had no choice but to let go and it may not be so bad. I decided to let go and confirmed my thoughts that it wasn’t so bad.
Dear Lena,
A waterfall is a symbol for having powerful relationships that can help you do a lot. Letting go of the waterfall means letting go of the powerful relationships and relying on yourself, trusting that things will work out. This is what you discovered in the dream.
Hello I had a dream a short one of what I can Remer. It was me on a dim street chasing a girl then she turns around and tells me “I can’t be with you that way” then I laugh she kisses me and I wake up confused. Now I’m trying to the the dream again. I want to remember it fully.
Dear Someone Useful,
When you are on a dim street in a dream, it means that your motives are purely physical with the girl. She does not want to be with you in a physical way, but in a spiritual way. This means that there is a spiritual quality that is feminine that is calling to you. She is kissing you so that you will be attracted to it. When you develop your feminine side, as well as masculine, then your relationships will get so much better, you will hardly believe it.

Dear Mona,
When you have a snake dream like yours, you can think of snakes as having two aspects to them. One is negative and the other is positive. Usually when you have a dream, it is the negative type. A negative snake represents a person or people who slither unknowingly in your life and then do negative things usually behind your back when you are not watching. You can think about who that might be because they make it difficult to be at rest or at peace. A positive snake is where the dream wants you to go. It represents a change you need to make in the midst of a negative situation that will change everything. A positive change in yourself can be magical because you can do some small things like saying positive comments to others that change everything into a positive world.
My grandmother comes to me in a dream. I am in the bathroom and she brings flowers but never says anything!
Hi Joe,
The bathroom is the place of purity. It is symbolic for cleansing your spirit and having a pure heart with positive intentions. Your grandmother gives you flowers so that you will be inspired to spread beauty (the inner kind) in the world because it is what is needed.
Richard,
I had different dreams right after each other, there was a woman whether a girl, who had a child imagination who was in my care, it was like I was in another world or country. I would have to make sure she was happy. She would cry and be unhappy if she didn’t like something or understood what was going on. I didn’t know how to relate to her or the different place I was in… Then the dream changed and I dreamed that it was broad daylight, and there was a lot of people around, all of my old items from my home was in display. Old toys, mattresses and I was giving them away. I was watching children ride away with my children old tricycle and things that had memories. I was handing them out and wanting people to have my prosessions. Most of the items was all on stack of each other like trash. Kids was digging through them to find things they wanted… Kids will run and tell there parents can they have things they found. I was there trying to get rid of the old items that looked like trash to other people who saw it. Then the dream changed gradually and my sisters and their older boys was there. There was a washing machine and it was washing large items, like furniture one of my sister was looking at, I still had all of my things there, they were going through the thing she also. Lifting ply wood up and there would be items they would find and take. one of my sisters that I haven’t spoken to was there with her older kids and there kids. She was packing for a plane trip. She was not taking any of her real grandkids because her boys just came back from vacation with their children, so I asked her who was going to watch the children when she go out and explore and have fun where she was going. She said my brother and his wife will be taking care of the children while she have fun. In the dream I pictured all of them at the airport waiting to get on. I saw in my minds eye the places she was going and how the hotel room looked like. I saw my brother and his wife watching the small children. I then thought where did she get the money to pay for all of the people who was going. She looked worn out and tired, I was happy because in the dream I felt she needed it. She really needed a break, she never went anywhere. She doesn’t have small kids so I didn’t know who’s children she was referring to or who I saw in my mind eye. Her youngest son I am very close to came back from his vacation and he had tattoos all over his body. There was brightness around him. In real life he hates them. He explained to me why he chosen those tattoos and I was able to read the passage off his body like I was reading a book. I thought he was so handsome as he would speak of his little boy and talk of all the things he did and what he had to go through with his little boy when he went on vacation. My other nephew was doing the same with his son. There was a dark aura about him and he was excited too as he was telling his cute little boy to sing for me, he doesn’t have a boy in reality but a girl. I will watched them I felt disconnected from them. Then I woke up.
Hi Lovelyaslace,
In these dreams the problem is that you are taking responsibility for everyone else’s happiness and then you don’t feel your own joy with them. It is like you have to let go of your fun and playful self in order to make them happy. What you need to know is that people love you exactly because you are joyful and playful. When you use those qualities, the people all get close to you. It is the key for you. That is what they really need from you.
Hey.. So I’m 30yrs old and last night I slept for over 13hrs. That’s never happened before.
I had a dream about my old neighborhood. I dreamt that a boy, maybe in his teens, robbed me in the daytime.
Then at night, still in the same dream, I was robbed again by the same boy but this time he wasnt in his teens. He looked older but in a younger boys body..
Can someone please help me get a grip on this?
Hi Jeshabel,
So what you need to know about is what it means to be robbed in a dream. Robbed in the dream world means that you had something that you had inside of you taken away and now you no longer have access to it. In this dream you were robbed by a boy in your old neighborhood. This means that before you got into relationships with boys you had something positive, but in the process you lost it. It is a process that has repeated itself. So the question you have to answer is what did you lose? It is something you have to answer for yourself but it may be something like your optimism.
So I have this guy friend that I have known for about 5-6 years now. We hang out a lot and recently I’ve been having mixed feeling about him. Last night I had a dream that my family and his family went on vacation together. Both of our families went to the store and it was only me and him in the room just sitting on a window ledge looking out to the ocean. We were talking about something (can’t remember!) and then we both slowly leaned in and kissed. We began to French kiss as well. The kiss was really long and I actually really liked it. Then he stood behind me and grabbed me by the waist and we just stood there like for a long time. I guess after that we began to date. We also slept in the same bed with each other (not making love or anything, just sleeping next to each other). I woke up and I was actually really upset because I really enjoyed the dream?? I don’t know what this dream means because I’m not sure how I feel about being in a relationship with him. Any help would be appreciated!
Hi Julia,
This is a very common dream. Even people with who have been married happily for a long time find themselves dreaming about having sex with a different partner. Not to worry. The best way to think about this dream is in a spiritual way rather than a physical one. What does that mean? It means that he has some kind of energy that is really positive that you need. You don’t have to be in a romantic relationship, but it helps to continue in the friendship. You can learn something from him and it is like being really close to him as if you are being sexual, but really is just about positive energy. It is strange how the dream world does it because you definitely wake up with physical sensations. This is because when you have his positive energy it will feel like you are more your true self, but don’t mistake it for romance. It is what most people do and is a big mistake.
Think about what you like about him and then try to make his positive quality part of you. He probably needs to do the same with you. If we lived in more open times, we could do it openly with each other, but I am afraid people in the modern world would think it a bit strange.
I wrote this in my notes right after I woke up, have no idea what “Tomahawk” is but it seemed as if it was a purge type thing.
Tomahawk dream where a guy in the town starts to go crazy and people start recruiting kids to kill this man, and the does vice versa . A man is trying to save me, giving me train tickets and going down to try and deal with the One person coming into the house I’m in, trying to kill me and all the lights are off. He gets into the room I’m in and I quickly open the window of a three story house and throw myself out of it. I somehow survive the fall and start running as the guy who’s trying to kill me chases me. The sun is rising as I’m running through a snowy town, screaming for someone to help me. The guy trying to kill me says that tomahawk is over and I still scream as I run barefoot. The cops finally pull up and surround him and I fall to the ground, crying because I think my “dad” in the dream got killed and I realize I have no one left because I think all my friends are dead as well. Then i woke up
Hi MacKenzie,
The guy in the dream represents the negative energy in your town that is trying to kill your spirit, your true self. Imagine that you have a really positive self with special gifts that want to be developed. This is who you are. The negative energy is in the guy is the kind of energy that doesn’t want change to happen. He recruits others to try to kill your type of energy and those who are like you. This causes you to metaphorically run away which does not allow you to develop your true self.
There is no doubt that this kind of negative energy exists in your town because it is pretty much universal. There is always a negative energy that doesn’t want change. This is because the people who don’t want change are fearful of losing what they already have. They go around with a tomahawk trying to hack to pieces new ideas and new progress. We even all have some of that energy inside ourselves. You can deal with this type of person by over emphasizing the positives that exist them already. This is what we call the process of encouragement. Encouragement allows people to loosen and let in more change. It is pretty awesome. You are lucky that you have police in your dream because in much of the world the tomahawk people run free hacking because there is no recourse to justice. You have that. This means you can use encouragement like crazy to tell people about their positives. When you do this, it will be amazing.
I saw seeing myself giving divorce paper to my father in law and asking him to read n let me know if he doesn’t agree on something in that document. My mom in law asking me the reason n i had mentioned my dissatisfaction with repect to physical n financial situation.
Hi MK,
When you want separation or distance from someone like your in-laws because of how they are acting, it means that you are having trouble getting close to what you want for your marriage. It is a mistake to believe that separation from in-laws is the answer. Whether you are married or not, the responsibility for your life and what becomes of it belongs to you. You cannot marry into the things you want physically. What is important is to go for really working on your own self. When you dedicate yourself to changing yourself, then everything will come your way. Most people, who start down this path, give up after a few days. The successful ones are the ones who change everyday.
Some background info:
I developed feelings for someone from school that I tried to avoid because it was his last year and he was moving soon to another country for college – I have one more year. I am a very reserved individual when it comes to emotions. He initiated conversations because he probably thought I was shy, when in reality I was just guarded and scared to develop a crush on him. His attempts at trying to get to know me eventually made me develop feelings towards him much deeper than a school crush, and I didn’t want to. I learned you can’t choose who you love. He left two months ago and I did not respond as I’d hoped. The first few days after it happened I cried for the first time in months. I’m still heartbroken over it. He never outright said goodbye; he did give me a goodbye hug but I didn’t know it was a goodbye hug at the time so I pushed him off. I did see him once or twice after that but he was very casual towards me at this point. He has no idea how I feel; I’d like to keep it that way. I never told him because there was too much at stake, moving away only being one of them.
Dream:
I was in school but not the school I’m currently in where I met him, but rather the school I attended during my child/pre-pubescent years. It was the last day of school and I had an exam due with the teacher highlighting its extreme importance for predicting grades. The teacher ushered me out to get to reception quickly, so I could hand in my passport to the receptionist for identity verification. As I walk through the corridors, which for some reason takes forever, I notice the doors of my school classrooms are now wooden and large and have locks on them. I could hear the people inside but no one would let me in. I panicked and ran towards reception and handed in everything, but she said the necessary documentation required for the exam would be ready by 2:35. I don’t know what time it was then, but I knew the exam was 2:30. I paced around the reception entrance and found the guy I had feelings for right behind me. His presence calmed me down and made me forget about the anxiety. He greeted me and I asked what he’s doing here; he said he’s here to check around and give his goodbyes. I asked him how he’s doing. He said he’s very happy now. I started tearing up then I woke up.
My apologies for the length, I just don’t know how to interpret this.
Hi Mariam,
The problem you have in real life and in the dream is that you are preventing yourself from experiencing life fully by being a prisoner to time. You had the opportunity to experience a lot of closeness and love, but you wouldn’t allow yourself to do it because you believed it would come to an end. This is what it means to be a prisoner to time. If you would have allowed yourself to be in the relationship, it would probably have a natural period of intensity and then fade because it is what happens with most relationship at this age. The intensity period teaches you a lot, like being in the schoolhouse of love, but you are not allowing yourself to experience it for fear of it ending. The school prior to this one taught you about time being so important. It is part of the controlling process of school, but when you are learning about relating to others, it is best to throw out the clock because 5 minutes in a positive relationship is better than 5 years of a boring or negative one.
I was dreaming about a little boy who told me he wanted to rest wasn’t sure if he meant sleep or to be in peace
Hi Fatima,
It is interesting that you would get this kind of dream especially since you don’t seem to know the boy. This could mean he represents a cultural boy who cannot be at peace. For someone reason the cultural young masculine energy believes it needs to fight, but really wants to be at peace. The cultural boy cannot be at full peace until he sees the feminine energy as equal to the masculine. The feminine energy will allow him to relax like having compassion, gentleness, and love.
I dream that my dead relative is still alive and in the dream I realise I’ve not been to visit or contacted them for a month. I wake up panicking and believe it’s real for the first few seconds.
Hi Natasha,
When you dream of someone who has already died, it is because they have something important to teach or tell you. You can relate to people in the next world as if they are present in your life now by just talking to them and asking them for help. You cannot help them, but they can help you. They really don’t need you because they are well taken care of, but you need them. This kind of dream is actually more real than you know. It is just that the human condition veils us from the other world so that we will focus on our work here.
Hi, My boyfriend keeps having the same dream every night where He has a black Lamborghini and it’s parked outside of a club or building and He gets into a friends car when he comes back He can’t find the car key and has to go all the way back home, then He finds it and drives back to the car but He never gets in it the dream ends there
This is a response to Barbara’s dream,
Hi Barbara, Your boyfriend has a lot of natural maneuverability and can move quickly with things, but for some reason he doesn’t carry the KEY to acting that way with him when he is in public. I am not sure why but it probably has to do with what his friends getting to do things he shouldn’t be doing. He loses his strong self when he is in public. You probably know his true self better because he can probably act out of it when he is with you.
Richard
I had two dreams after each other but could only recall me driving my old car, in reality is not working and I sold it to my brother. When I got in the car it started right up with no problem. It didn’t run smoothly like it did before, but I drove it around with no problem. I knew in the dream that I no longer own the car and it was broken, I was amazed and happy I was driving it. I woke up than dreamt right away of me being in a beautiful house with nice furniture, I was admiring the furniture and touching it, my other brother was with me, he was playing around in the house, I was annoyed with him, he was getting on my nerves. His face will appear in front of me. He will be acting silly, than he will disappear out of my eyesight. I didnt see myself in the dream like I normally will dream. I wasn’t watching myself doing things in the dream, I was seeing things through my eyes. If that makes sense I looked down and there was a small bottle of clear nail polish. I picked it up and drank the clear liquid. I thought it will taste like alcohol, but it tasted more like cough medicine, I put it down on the floor and walked away, I glanced at the nail polish than went back and drank some more. The bottle was tiny ,I can barely hold it between my fingers, but I was able to drink my fill. I looked at the bottle than woke up.
Hi Lovelyaslace,
So in the dream about the house, what it means is that you have a beautiful self, but you don’t know how to act in your beautiful self. If you did, then you would be able to get to where you want to go in life in an easy way as if you had a good car that was running.
So the first thing I would recommend is to recognize just what a beautiful amazing person you are. Make a list of all your gifts and the positive things about you. Then begin to treat yourself and others in a beautiful way with your great qualities. Give out your beauty to others. Then you will be able to get to wherever you want to go in life. The first work is treat yourself well.
i saw a dream last night that i am in my school with two of my friends. and while we are walking in the coridor there was three girls in pink dress in front if us .they were too tall than the actual height. snd after that i saw my self in a house of someone where a wife and a old lady with a little boy .they were crying and telling me that there two young son and the old lady’s husband the father of two died in an accident. i was shocked to know this . and tell the young lady to open a beauty parlour for living . as sge us beautiful,young,and educated. ehat does my dream mean.
This is a response to Turnurmagicon,
Hi, It seems like from what this dream is saying that you have a really positive gift of seeing people’s inner beauty which can turn a really sad situation into something positive. It is as if you were created to see and bring out beauty in others, their true beauty. If you develop and learn how to use this gift, you will change the world and everyone around you. Practice by seeing people’s gifts on the inside.
Hi Richard. I’m hoping you can interpret something for me. Now, lately I’ve been watching a really good Christian movie called Heaven Is For Real. I did not watch it yesterday so I don’t know if it had anything to do with my dream. Thing is, the dream had oddities as most dreams do but there were some things that I was wondering if they might mean something. The most I can recall is first, I was hanging out with a friend and her new baby. I haven’t seen this friend in years but we’ve been making plans to hang out. Then, suddenly I was on a website for Supernatural, the TV show. It was called thewinchesters.com, which isn’t even a real site and I don’t watch supernatural. Then, abruptly again, I was flying through a blazing red sky. I was told I was going to Heaven by a voice. A man’s voice, although I can’t recall the nature or sound of it, as I can for some reason in most dreams. My guess is because I’ve never actually heard it. There was a door, and I was passing it, far away. I turned around and saw it behind me. I was told by the Voice that it was the door to Hell and that I should not open it. I was told that the End was coming and even though I was going to Heaven and I was “flying” I watched as a massive fireball flew out of the sky and set the Eiffle Tower to flames. Then I realized something later. I was watching a video-I don’t know if I was in Heaven at this point or not but I was watching it one moment and it was telling me about the destruction for the human race. First it was supposed to begin hundreds of years ago but it didn’t. Then it was supposed to occur in 1989. I was sucked into the video and for some reason, I was placed in a hot oven like structure-but I wasn’t hot. I knew o should be but I wasn’t: and it wasn’t like a building it was more like a water slide, but an oven as well, except there was no water, only people and it was cramped. But it wasn’t hot and I shouted, “1989! THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN IN 1989!!!! WE ARENT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE HERE!!!!” At this point it was obvious that I was no longer in or going to Heaven-I was alive. But then, as quickly as this was all experienced, I was put back in front of the computer on the Website about Supernatural, talking to an old lady and reading articles. Then later I was in a library. Then, I woke up.
I have a VERY active imagination I realize, but I’m wondering why I had THIS dream. And also, I’ve feared whether I would live to see the day that God’s wrath would rain down on us. I believe God is good and merciful, but I also believe He is unhappy with all the terrible things mankind has done and that when He Comes, He will be vengeful. I’ve wondered about myself going to Heaven and I’ve been Saved and accept Jesus, but I’ve also been afraid of dying before my time. I’ve worried that if I did live to see The End Of Days, how I would die. I’ve especially feared being burned alive. I’m wondering if my being in a heated oven and not being hot might mean that I won’t feel pain when death comes. I don’t know what it all means, it’s all speculation and o realize it sounds crazy. Please, just help me! Is it a message sent in a series of dreams? Or is it all just part of an overactive imagination?
This is a response to Kayla’s dream,
Hi Kayla, The fear you have, according to the dream, is the fear of having to live through the hellish conditions on earth. You believe you are going to heaven, but on your way to heaven you forget the positives and just focus on negatives. Then it is like you are in your own personal hell. The important thing is you have an important destiny or mission to do while you are on the planet and that has to do helping others in some way. The fact of the matter is that there are no current wars on the planet between countries only civil wars so in a lot of ways we are living in one of the most peaceful periods in human history. Now you can learn to teach people how to love each other the way Jesus did. That is his commandment to you. When you do this, you will insure your place in heaven, but I doubt that Jesus will look favorably on you if you don’t work extremely hard on loving others since that is what He asks of you.
Thank you!
