Dreams For Peace 
Hi Mr. Hastings,
How are you? My name is Janica Yazdani, could you please help me with dream interpretations? I’ve wondered so much and have so many questions in my life that I just wonder the truth to everything. My first dream, I was in this tall building and it was in the afternoon, I remember the walls being tall and beige color and as I was walking in this building, I came across a tall door that was already open and as I looked inside I saw that it was the inside of a volcano, I even saw the mouth of it looking up from where the smoke was descending from, and it was night time, the structure was round and it was rocks of the volcano extending down towards this big lake of lava, it was bright red and glowing from how hot it was, I saw huge demon, being casted down into it and being destroyed permanently, it was red in color with glowing orange eyes and it fell and was disintegrated completely, no longer existed, then I saw but didn’t feel a shakiness happen, as if an eruption were to take place, but nothing happened, above close to the entrance I noticed two statues hanging up, they were the head of the rams, and as I slowly backed away, the door closed on me, and I saw the door was also a red color and then I wentinto the room to the right of me, then I woke up from that dream. My second dream, I was at the beach and I never saw this beach before, it was relaxed, and I saw the sun setting on the horizon, I was with a group of friends having fun but I did not know any of them, I needed a change of clothes and saw bikini in my hand suddenly hanging on a hanger and it was small, but when I tried it on, it changed to fit me, it was a coral pink color with yellow edges, the material was like that of fireman material, like elastic or plastic look, I don’t know the name of it, and I also saw my breasts growing bigger in size, all of a sudden I saw my ex in my dream, we were sitting by the beach, and we were holding eachother, I was to the rightof him and he was to the left, he was wearing white shirt, with a square pattern on it, we talkedabout everything and he tried to come up with something to say about our break up, he tried to say why and tell me it was because of his mental illness, he has bipolar disorder in real life, but in the dream he would always have his eyes down and never look into my eyes, he was also fat in my dream, I felt he was trying to rekindle something but even in the words he has not spoken, he was telepathically giving me that vibe but also wanted something more as to have sex, but as he kept talking I silenced him and innately said to let’s enjoy time together, then I woke up. Could you please help me interpret the dreams, Thank you so much,
Sincerely,
Janica Yazdani
I saw a dream and it was so scary,I literally got goosebumps and whenever I think about it now I get goosebumps. I saw that there are three or maybe four layers of thorns stuck in my forearm and then I removed one layer of thorns and a layer of my skin came out with the thorns and then I removed another layer of thorns and another layer of my skin came out and it happened two more times and like this I saw that there was a huge hollow in my forearm as most of the skin came out and I could see the insides of my forearm and I was so shocked but I couldn’t see any bones inside,it was all pink inside but it was totally hollow inside and then suddenly I saw that a white liquid oozed out from my skin and covered the hollow and I couldn’t see the hollow anymore. What does it mean?
Dear Stefanie,
When you have a problem with a forearm, it means that your ability to use your forearm is jeopardized. The forearm in the dream world is what gives power or strength to your skills. It shows that somehow your ability to use skills is somehow infected by thorns. Thorns mean you were either put down or criticized a lot. This is what is making it difficult for you to use the power, how it gets infected. To heal you need a lot of positive encouragement and validation about your abilities and yourself. You can do this by surrounding yourself with positive people who are encouraging and by having a voice in your mind that encourages you by finding your positives and acknowledging them.
Thank you so much. But what should I do if there are only negative people around me who only puts me down?
You are going to have to have a really positive encouraging voice in your mind telling you positive things all the time. If you were working with me in counselling, I could help you build it. You first have to let go of the negative voices because they can be really devastating. Imagine someone really positive telling you about your positive qualities.
Can you counsell me online because I live in a different country?
And I am facing a lot of problems right now in my life and I try to be positive all the time but sometimes I can’t take it anymore and I break down and people also put me down a lot and I try not to listen to them but sometimes it’s too much and I am in such a position that I can’t even avoid these people.
So I saw a very nightmarish dream. I saw that my exams are very near and am preparing very hard for the exams. And then the big day of the exams came. My first exam was good and it went well. And I remember that I have memorised the entire time table of when the exams are gonna happen I mean the dates along with the subject names. Then I prepared for my second exam and as I was on my way to the exam hall I saw that the road through which I was going broke into pieces and I was stunned and then I took another road to reach my destination but then something weird happened. I was not in the exam hall,I was in a small hut made of mud and hay and the hut was underneath a big tree with lots of leaves and I went inside the hut and saw one of my college mates and saw that she is reading a different subject for the exam and then I asked her that what exam is today and she told the name of something else and I realised that I have prepared for the wrong subject and I was panicking so much in the dream and I said her to show me notes of the subject of which the exam is gonna happen and she looked at me stunned and then another guro came inside the hut and she also looked at me stunned that I didn’t prepared for the exam. Then I woke up. I mean the dream was weird because I didn’t went to the exam hall,I went to a hut.
Hi Stefanie,
This corresponds to the challenge you have in one of your other dreams about being gay. The real exam with your parents is not about a girl friend, but about relationships in general. You can pass the exam with the girl friend, but not about relationships in general with others. That is the real exam that you haven’t studied for. You have a responsibility first to humanity. When you pass that exam, everything else will work out. You have a lot of work to do with that test.
I had a dream that I was sitting in a building full of people, and a very large black bird, I believe it was a raven, flew into the building out of no where. It then flew directly to me and stopped just above my head. It then began going around in circles. The bird was completely up right and wasn’t flight, it’s wings were at its side. It’s almost like he bird was sitting on a halo. After circling above my head so many times, it flew away and didn’t approach anyone else. The bird also never actually touched me. Any idea what this dream means? I haven’t been feeling good lately and was concerned this could somehow imply illness or death.
The raven is giving you a message that you need to use a lot of wisdom and intelligence in your life ahead. It is not enough to just be loving and kind and generous. There are situations that require you to be really smart less people take advantage of you.
I saw a dream yesterday. I saw that a big tiger entered our home and I quickly his somewhere and the tiger remained for a very long time trying to find someone but then it went away. Then I quickly came out and closed the door and installed a lot if hasps(I don’t know if it’s the correct English word) in the door and fastened them carefully but suddenly the door opened and a tiger cub entered and the cub was so cute,I just picked the cub up and put the cub outside my home and quickly closed the door and fastened all the hasps and I was continuously near the door to make sure the hasps don’t loosen and the tiger don’t enter.Then I saw myself in some other house and the tiger came inside the house but I was in standing in some very high platform and the tiger couldn’t reach me. I quickly took my phone out and called the wildlife organization to take the tiger away. And the tiger was of grey and black color and it was very furry. So grey and blavk isn’t usually the color of a tiger and the tiger in my dream also didn’t have any stripes,very weird.then I woke up.
Dear Stefanie,
The tiger in your dream represents a negative aggressive person/people that make you hide away. This kind of fear is usually from an authority figure like a father/teacher. It explains the fear of relating in the last dream. The other tiger cub represents the positive assertiveness (which is different than negative aggressiveness). This is what you need to develop in yourself and shows you that you are at the very beginning stages of developing it. It means that while you develop it you need some protection from the aggressive types. Later you will be your own tiger and then the aggressive types will be fearful of you.
Hi Richard
I had a dream where I went to my old church. This is a large church where you would not know who anyone is. I walked in the door and the pastor Was there with a pad and pencil. She looked me in the eye and said “Hello Lois, how are you,
I was Expecting you.” I was surprised because she doesn’t know my name, and the fact my name was said in a dream. I started to tear up. Lois you been through a lot She told me” you are getting a new house your getting back everything you lost. She gestured for me to follow her.. Than the dream changed where I was searching for something than I woke up.
Hi,
Getting a new house means that you are getting a new self. The pastor knowing your name means she knows your true spiritual self. That is who you are going to become. When you have your new self, what she said is true. You will get everything back. The search now is for the new self that solves your life in a beautiful way.
Thanks Richard
As always your wisdom astounds me… Thank you for this interpretation.
God Bless you…
Hello. I dreamt that I was traveling in Paris for a few days (very unusual for me as I have never been abroad) and was introduced to a man via a mutual acquaintance. I was very interested in what he did for a living, although I don’t remember exactly what it was. Something quite intellectual, maybe scientific. We spent a few days together and really enjoyed each other’s company. I had to leave Paris and return home (to the US) in a few days and really did not want to go because I did not want to leave him, although we still had not professed feelings for each other or had yet to become romantically involved. The night before I had to leave, he asked me to go to the movies with him, and he said something about wanting to kiss me later and was wondering if it was something I was interested in too, and I said yes very quickly. His (male) friends were there and wanted to join us, but he asked them to give us some time alone. We went to the movies and were holding hands and I believe we were getting ready to kiss when I woke up. It was all very sweet and romantic and I woke up convinced I had fallen in love in my dream. I do remember what he looked like but I don’t know who it is. I also remember trying to determine whether I could move to Paris to be with him or if he would be able to come to the US to be with me, after only knowing him for a few days. It was a pretty intense dream.
Dear Tina,
You can understand the dream really well if you understand what Paris means to you. It seems that it means your capacity to go off in an adventurous manner in your life. It is not necessarily a physical destination, but more like a frame of reference for your spirit. When you have this kind of traveling, adventurous spirit, then it is opens up the possibility of having really close relationships (even romantic ones). You cannot get to the end of the dream in the movie theater unless and until you develop the spirit of adventure. It takes you out of whatever state you are stuck in the present and moves you into a much more positive frame of mind. It requires two processes that need to happen simultaneously. First is the envisioning of positive possibilities and the second is acting on them. Both are absolutely necessary and essential. When I lived overseas, we used to practice it by traveling to a new town on holiday like in SE Asia with no plans. Then we would just walk around the town to see all the things we could do and start doing them. That is kind of the spirit you need.
Wow that really gives me something to think about. I was focusing more on the falling in love part but what you said about having an adventurous spirit and moving out of my present state is right on the nose. Thank you so much!
In my dream, I was sleeping in a room with mother’s brother’s family and my family is also there in the house, but not in the same room. First I saw that my mother put some big iron rods on the floor of the room we’re sleeping in saying there is no other space to keep them and she will remove them in the morning. I am worried that I myself or my uncle’s kid can step over them at night while going to the washroom or something. So I ask my sister to help me keep those rods in the mezzanine and after putting them there, we go to sleep. At night I go to the washroom and see a snake there, black grey, 1 foot and a half long. He enters the room as soon as I open the washroom door and hides under my bed. We are all scared to sleep in a room with a snake. I try to scare the snake under my bed with an iron rods and runs towards the bathroom and I kill him with the rod while sitting on my bed. I was scared and worried during the whole dream. What does it mean? Yesterday I saw myself falling off a cliff and getting washed onto the shore of a river. There I see a huge idol of goddess Kali half buried under the small stones. Suddenly a lot of people from nearby village come and rescue me. They then see the idol and become very Happy saying soon there is going to be a celebration worshipping this goddess and it’s a good sign finding her idol. When they start getting it out of the stones, they find many more Hindu good/goddess’s idols and call me lucky to survive the fall and find these. I am still very confused and the dream ends here. What does this one means? Are these two dreams related by any chance?
Dear Nitisha,
In the first dream the problem is that while you are sleeping (which means that while you are not spiritually awake), and while you are trying to let go of something in yourself (bathroom) the snake gets under your bed. Snakes, when they are negative, like in this case, means that there is someone who is poisonous in your life, trying to cause difficulty. It seems like the poison is coming from your uncle’s family, but I am not totally sure. You can kill the snake, but what you really need to do is awaken a spiritual capacity in yourself that you don’t have. The snake prevents you from being comfortable to go after the spiritual ability. You can imagine what you would develop in yourself if the snake were not around.
The next dream tells you the ability. Instead of falling off the cliff and finding Kali, you need to find Kali first and then your won’t need to fall and go through hardship to find Kali. Finding Kali means finding your own empowerment because when you feel empowered, you will be able to achieve just about anything you set your mind on. Falling from a cliff means falling from grace as if you have to please others to get where you want to go. It is not true. You have to be strong and empowered and then the grace will come to you. You will live in grace as in positive blessings will come.
The poisonous snake keeps you from feeling empowered and strong. That is a worse problem than the other dream.
I saw a dream yesterday and in that dream I saw that I am in my parent’s house with my mom and dad both present in the house. In my waking life I am gay and I haven’t told my parents about it. So I saw in the dream that I am with my girlfriend inside the house and I am in the kitchen with my girlfriend and we are preparing some food and I am kissing her and making out with her and she is loving it but we both heard that our parents are in the next room so we stopped making out as my gf said to me that they are in the next room. And the whole time I was with my parents in the dream I felt a feeling that they know I am gay and they were smiling and teasing me about my gf and about me being gay but not outright saying that you are gay. And I made out with my gf couple of times in the dream if I could remember correctly. What does it mean?
Dear Stefanie,
The problem in the dream is not the closeness you feel with your girl friend, but your parent’s reaction to the relationship. I am not sure, Stefanie, but I don’t think that you are concerned about being gay with your parents. It is more about being close to anyone that is the issue in your family. I think the same thing would happen with a boy. It is closeness that is the issue, not the who. You must have an issue with closeness in your family, but you are naturally gifted with it. You need to think about how you can use your ability to help others.
I saw a dream at 3.30 or 4 am ish. I saw that I am in a room with two of my classmates. And then suddenly one of my classmate said that there is kind of a suction thing going on which is sucking us and this room in and I felt the same sensation. Then one of our head teachers came and knocked in our door and said that we have to leave the room because they have to renovate the room and she asked us to take all our important stuff with us because the other stuff would be destroyed. So I took all my important stuff and came out of the room. After some time I remembered that I forgot to take the file which contained all my certificates in it from the room,then I quickly called the head and asked if the renovation work started or not she said no and I asked her if she could allow me to go back to the room and take the file back and then I woke up. Can you please interpret this dream?
Dear Stefanie,
In this dream there is a sucking energy that exists in the world that needs some renovation. The sucking energy is people being pulled into ideas that have no real truth to them, but are told in a way that make them seem true. People like you who have strong minds and are able to think through difficult issues are needed to renovate the way the world is becoming. It is as if there are a lot of lazy minded people who want to have a very simple solution to complex issues because they are too lazy to use their minds to find positive solutions. The dream is call to your positive mind to keep strong in the face of such terrible thinking in the world. The lazy-minded people want something for nothing.
I dreamt I was hanging out with my best friend and went to show her a picture of something but instead found pictures from my wedding (I’m 31 and not currently married, and recently broke up with my ex of 10 months 1 month ago). My “husband” in pictures was a guy I dated when I was 19. My best friend then proceeds to ask where my husband was and why she never knew about him. I told her we were divorced and I’d forgotten until that moment about the whole thing and couldn’t remember why we divorced when she’d asked. I walk around the corner to find answers and stop in front of a kinda dark blue grayish house with the numbers 633 on it and recognize it as the house my “husband” and I shared. Strangely enough it was half real and half cartoon/drawing. I hear his voice talking about a child blowing up the house and wake up
Dear Latrece,
In the dream you are talking about your ex-boyfriend as if breaking up with him was a divorce of major proportions. That is because break ups for you are like marriages that you just want to forget about because of the pain involved. It is half real because you were in an “as if” marriage. It was “as if” you were married, but were not. The next time you get into a relationship you can work the relationship until you are best friends with the guy. Then you will more likely be able to keep it for a long time. If you try to make it romantic at first, you will end up in another divorce.
I was with a two other friends on a train. When some mailman came and gave me things I wanted offline saying I ordered them already. I was happy I got to have them and were showing my friends and such. But then it faded to the three of us in front of my house waking around and just talking. Then I had my favorite jacket on and was suddenly lifted into my guy friends arms. He had me me wrap my legs to the middle of his back and just slowly walked around. It felt warm and real and I fell asleep in his arms. And then I woke up.
Hi Cate, Sorry I am a little late in responding. In the dream everything you want including what was in the packages, friendship, and intimacy all happened. When this happens in life, the appropriate response is gratitude. If you are thankful for all of that positive, then it tends to repeat itself over and over. If you were the opposite as in being greedy or critical, then the things would eventually all go away. Gratitude is a very powerful feeling.
Hi how are yah? The last dream I had I was playing air hockey with a boy my age kinda like a date then we jumped in his beat up truck and went to a like forestry park and layed in the grass talking just talking then it started to rain hard so we got in the truck and a road was closed so we took a dirt road.the truck got stuck in the mud so we took the break off and pushed it together when I got it out we were soaked and covered in mud the storm got bad so we stoped at whare he lived. We were standing on the porch when his mother and dog greeted us he asked if it was ok If I stayed to the storm passed she she was fussy about us being muddy and wet shooing us into the house saying we Would catch a cold. She asked me to wait in the hallway she would be right back.the boy said he was going to get changed real quick and took off. His mom came back handing me some folded some blue checkered flannel pants and a T-shirt that had words on it she crossed her arms looking me over with a little cheerful sigh and after a minute I asked if their was I place I could get cleaned up as if being shocked to relity .she says o I’m sorry right down the hall to the right.I get changed the clothes are much to big when I come out they are both wating for me as the as the shirt is baggy reaching past my hips and pants covering my feet the mother laughs middle saying sorry for the size I gave you some of my sons old pjs but u look cutie sweetie pinching my cheek. We go and sit in the living room as lighting flashes. His mother hands me and him a cup of hot cocoa and covers us both with a blanket saying you must be chilled to the bone. Me and his mother talk about him when he’s little she then turns to her son and exclaimed why haven’t you kiss this lovely girl. His face turns bright red nearly choking on his cocoa shouting MOM she laughs and says what she whispers rather loud to him are you afraid she won’t like it?

He just face pombs himself and says can we talk about something else I just laughed a little. I fell asleep leaned into him he placed his arm around me still all blushed when I woke up it was still raining but not as bad we stood on the porch looking out. He kissed me softly and got a little rougher as time proceed his mom had stepped out side and jump saying she didn’t mean to interrupt gesturing for us to continue shutting the door and peaking out the window at us like we couldn’t see her.he let’s a half laugh and a monotone sigh placing his arms on the rall slouching over saying she means well.I slouch the same holding his handing his hand I know she dose before kissing him again and pulling away saying now were even reaching down to pet his dog as it licked me. Then I woke
Hi, Sorry this is so late in replying. Been really involved in some other events. This dream basically teaches you about relationship building which you do successfully in the dream. First you have a casual get together, followed by deeper conversation. The storm helps you to see that he isn’t going to abandon you when the going gets tough in the mud and rain, but actually strengthens your connection. You see him in his family which is encouraging to you to get closer to him and vice versa. Then you allow yourself to get closer. A lot of young people don’t see the value of the parents encouraging the relationship because they don’t see how involved parents are in long term relationships. When they are supportive, it makes things so much easier.
Could you please help me with this dream interpretations, I had two very unusual dreams about a guy friend, but I had these dreams a few months ago, and one just 1 month ago, also my guy friend told me his dream back in February it links back with one of the dreams I had a few Months ago. My first dream was recent, I dreamnt that I was in my Sewing Class, I was working on a project, It was a pair of pants, but it was unusual in it’s design, The first layer of the pant was made of a stretchy and soft material ( I don’t remember the name of the material) and on top of the first layer was a material made of tulle, but on the tulle there were little flowers that stuck out ( like it was of the same material it just was like little tulle roses, attached to the surface by 1 or 2 threads, but stood out) and they were covered in little jewels of the same color of the fabric, the material was like a dark purple or almost wine color, a dark color, I was finished with the project, and showed it to my sewing teacher, we were in a dimly lighted room but not dark, like a class room with sewing students, she went to the back of the room where there was light, and she looked at everything, she was happy with the end results, and my class mates were happy too, I went back to sit at my desk ( wooden table) and my teacher came up to me, something weird happened, she got a card reading for me, now in real life I don’t believe in those stuff, she said for me to choose, in my head I was wishing for love originally and had my friend’s name in mind, but I was indecisive, so I switched back to health, because I was suffering health problems in real life, interestingly there came two cards one small, one big, the small was 6 of swords, and the big is 2 of cups, she was happy for me, but I woke up. The 2nd dream, is from February, I dreamnt of my friend, in real life, as a back ground we had gotten into a fight but came back to mend things after 2 months of no talking, in the dream I was going into a resturaunt or huge theater, I couldn’t tell because it was so unusual, there were alot of chairs, wooden stage, but decorated with gold lining and red curtains and open, and in the back was a wooden table with chairs, I was going inside and I saw my friend, he had serious ( not unpleasant) look on his face, and he held the door for me but he was in front of me, We sat at the table, my friend was sitting in opposite directions I was closer to the entrance behind me, and my mother was sitting on the right, at the end, my friend had squinted his eyes and had a pensive look on his face, he was thinking “Are you sure you are not the one?” And my mom said to him “she will drive you insane”. The 3rd dream my friend had of me, I told him that dream I just said, he asked me to say it first, he laughed because he had a dream of me too, in time apart, he told me, in his dream, he was walking on the beach on a sunny day, as we was walking, he saw me, he had a serious look on his face too but nothing bad, I was wearing a white tank top and long white skirt with jean jacket, I had came up to him and held his hand, and said ” Are you well my king”, he looked at me in surprise, eyes widened, and serious look, but quiet, nothing bad, he suddenly appeared with a crown on his head , made of gold colors, red, and white, he turned away walking, but he heard shuffling noises in sands, and felt it was me behind him. I was wondering what they could mean? I know not all having meanings or are true, but could you please help me? Thank you so much
Dear Janica,
Sorry that I have taken so long to write to you. If you notice that in all of the dreams, it is your capacity to create things that bring about a positive environment. So it seems to me that creativity is the virtue or positive energy that will heal you and heal your relationships. You do it in the environment of sewing. When you get creative, like in the first dream, you are able to mend the relationship (mending is a sewing term). The key to the relationship is creativity. It is also the key to your health. Your mom’s voice in your head is probably the thing that ruins relationships because it sounds critical. Creativity requires the letting go of all negative voices of criticism because it requires freedom to express oneself in interesting ways. Let me know if you have questions.
I had a dream about myself,
My dream was I was laying in the bed sleep and it was like I was looking at myself, i saw a black like smoke like it was being pulled from my body against it’s will up to the heaven’s when it was gone I woke up feeling refreshed and like something was removed from my body.
Dear Marquessa,
This is a symbol for letting go of dark energy that is trapped in, which means letting go of parts of your ego that hold you down. We all have this kind of ego energy that holds us down and when we learn what we are supposed to develop, it can release, and then you can feel refreshed and go for things from your true self. It is a pretty interesting metaphor. It isn’t necessarily a one time thing. It is more like a process of letting go which can be done daily. The more ego you can let go of, the more you can act out of your higher being.
I dreamed about this guy I’m kind of involved with, he told me in my dream that he died many times but then he came back. And there was nothing to be scared of, so I could die and come back to life. But there was certain number of times you could come back, I don’t remember the number but i vaguely think it was seven times, and then the last time you die you can’t come back.
Each time was represented with this ladder thing, like you climbe the ladder and the last step is final.
In a dream he wasn’t scared he kind of welcomes death.
So suddenly we were standing on the top of this mountain that was very steep and the color of this mountain was black, down there was some type of lake which wasn’t very large, sorrounded by mountains, this lake was blue and green but also dark, not clear water.
And then we both jumped holding hands, then he let go of my hand and I knew that he wasn’t coming up, I didn’t see him drowning or dying but the feeling of him being gone was there.
I was also drowning but at some point I went up to the surface and that’s when I woke up.
I told him about this dream and he told me that two other persons dreamed about the same dream, him drowning and they not being able to save him.
I find it very strange and thank you for your interpretation.
Hi Caligo,
This is such an interesting metaphor of a person only being able to die 7 times before they are gone forever or like in the dream, they drowned and then don’t get back up. This has something to do with the way trauma works. You can have something bad happen to you like being drowned in a relationship because of something like jealousy and then come back from it, but when it happens over and over, at some point you won’t be able to get back to a positive self. You will become dead to your true self. The important thing is to process trauma in such a way that you get stronger and more alive after it. In this way you go from one positive life to another almost like a brand new birth. Everyone goes through trauma. No one escapes it, but it is how you process and grow from it that makes the big difference. You can, for instance, become bitter, and die to your positive self, or you can find new aspects of yourself each time and get much stronger. When you drowned in a relationship, for instance, you can get the learning from how you drowned, and then learn how to improve relationships with others.
Hello
I had a really strange dream. I dreamt that I was back in my highschool where we wore blue shirts and black dress pants as uniforms. This time I just wore black stockings as pants and every guy stared at me. This one guy in my class who was really nice when I was in highschool kept judging me. When I was going up the stairs, the guy who was judging me grabbed my butt. I jumped but he wouldn’t let go till it hurt. I finally found my self at my grandma’s house bathroom( which I haven’t been in for 6 years) and was crying. My dad was banging at the door asking me what was going on. I opened the door and told him everything. When I did the motion of the guy grabbing my butt, my fingers got stuck in that position. I was freaking out trying to straighten my fingers but they just stayed bent. I finally woke up from that dream and checked my fingers. They were OK lol.
Dear Emma,
This dream takes you back to high school where you developed the desire to be noticed by others. The downside of the desire for being noticed is that you get judged and treated poorly. When you try to explain the bad behaviors to others like your dad, you get stuck. This is because the desire to be noticed, while it is common in the culture, does not get you very far with your own life and where it wants to take you. The really appropriate goal is to see your own positive aspects, to give recognition to them, and then to use them in a positive way. This is the key to successful living. You have to learn how to see your really positive qualities. That is the key.
At one of my dreams, it was after school when everyone was released from their classes. I seen my close friend pass by and turned around to call him. I told him I needed to tell him something. Then we were in a class or something with a few girls. There was a discussion and then he said he had to go meet with someone. Once he left, the girls rushed me with questions about the “charming guy”. One girl asked me if he was my brother, and I told her that he was actually my best friend. Then they started asking things like, how can I not be nervous around him. Another asked me how is it that when he’s with a prettier girl, I don’t get worried? I thought about it and replied with a soft smile, “Because I know I don’t have to worry. Because even if she’s pretty, I know he’ll come back.. because he likes what’s on the inside, not on the out.” I looked back at them and they were all looking at me with pure admiration. I didn’t know when I was supposed to meet back up with him, so I called and went up some stairs to meet up. We went up more stairs o and he complained about me being late, as if he might’ve had something planned with me before the movie we were going to see. In another dream that I think happened before, I was with him and we were holding hands, I don’t know why, but I think he laced with mine randomly.
Then later I had a dream that I dove into a dark lake of some sort. It was dark but lit at the same time. There were maybe some bodies here and there, floating in blouses peacefully, and some black ink in the distance. It may have been polluted or something, i dont know. But it was calming and peaceful, I was at peace as I swam deeper, in search for something, I thought I was looking for a monster or something but I don’t really know. There were two big walls in there with a slim opening down the middle. I was going to attempt to go through to the other side, but decided I wanted to go deeper. Then I woke up.
Dear Patricia,
The relationship with your best friend shows you that you have a lot of security in the way you relate to people. You don’t have the typical worries of many young people. This allows you to dive deep into dark waters feeling pretty curious and secure. Dark waters means unknown areas in other people, positive or negative. You are pretty suited to going into a profession that deals with people’s emotional issues like being a therapist.

Dear Lara,
This probably has something to do with the current state of your relationship. You are probably wondering if it is going to last and whether or not it is going to be permanent. This has your mind going to a fall back illusion that isn’t true. If the new relationship is not working then you need to let it go. If it needs a push, then that is what you need to give it.
I was in sum interview to work at a dairy farm I got the job for some reason.

Dear Kathryn,
This dream is about meeting a guy that you have great rapport, that gets you, is decent and respectful, but in bringing him to your family, you experience a lot of embarrassment because of their crudeness. If you can let go of the embarrassment of your family, then whatever part that keeps you back from relationships will be gone. I like that you are not fearful of physical or difficult work in the first part of the dream and that someone else likes that about you.
