Dreams For Peace 
Amber,
The heroin is the reason that you lost your boyfriend. Instead of facing what you had to face in your life, which had nothing to do with your boyfriend, you found ways to take away the pain to give you comfort or joy, and then you lost him. The crud on the needle is a symbol of crud in your life that you were trying to let go of on the toilet in the end but fearful that you are going to be seen doing it.
You can have a positive relationship with another human being and be capable of being in the relationships in the long term when you deal with your own “crud”. If you spend all of your time learning how to let go of it, then you will make huge progress and things will get much better for you in terms of relationships.
Sir, will you please interpret the dream that I posted on the twelfth at 6:07 am?
Hi Cody,
When you have a dream where someone is murdered, you should immediately think that murder means the ending of a relationship. A home invasion is the invasion of one’s self.
It is actually more important that you learn how to solve the metaphor than the metaphor itself. The dream is about a relationship ending by an invasion of self, which means that someone crossed inappropriate boundaries. The solution is to start new relationships so that the people feel like they are related of you, really close. This should be relatively easy for you if you do what the other dreams suggest earlier about being positive.
The reason that the dream is negative is that at some point in your life when you were young, you probably had some relationship murdered which made you somewhat protective. That is why you have the gun.
The dream is there so let you know that those kind of conditions don’t exist and that you can let go of the protection and really reach out and create now relationships with others. This is how you make the world a better place.
Hello Richard, its Cody once again. I had a horrible dream. A child in my family was murdered in a home invasion. I don’t think it was a sibling of mine but maybe a cousin or nephew/niece. We were getting things out of the home in the aftermath and I heard noises coming from upstairs and I had a gun on me. I woke up as I was headed upstairs. Not sure what to make of it.
Thank you, sir. If you’d be so kind as to tell me about another dream of mine…
I dreamt that I was about to inject myself with a regular dose of heroin when I saw something on the needle. It was black and crusty; nothing I did could get all of the crud off of the needle. I think I may have done the stuff anyways, but I’m not sure. The dream then switched.
My ex invited me into his home. I went in and met his infant son for the first time. The child may have been standing in his crib. I told the child about how much his daddy loves him, how much his daddy talks about him, and that his daddy thinks his son is so smart. The infant can’t talk, but he knew I was there talking to him. Then his mom walked in the room looking stressed maybe.. maybe tired. I quickly excused myself to the bathroom. I sat down on the pot and pulled my pants to cover myself because I just saw the window across from me. There were some bushes and a large black truck or suv. I hoped that I wasn’t seen.
Then I woke up.
Gemma,
When you do dreamwork, it is best to look at the situations metaphorically and also the context of each dream. In the first dream you lose your best friend’s daughter and no one would help you. You can think of it this way. When you are in shopping centre, you lose the thing that is most precious to your friend. The shopping centre is like a metaphor for being busy in the material world. So when your mind is on material things is when you lose the precious things. The way to solve this part of the dream is focus on what is precious to you and others and then do what it takes to spend quality time with the development of that thing. The material world tends to take us away from focusing our energy on what is really precious.
In the second dream you are bitten on the right hand by a brown snake. First of all your right hand in a dream means your capacity to do the morally right path. It is poisoned in the dream and you are going to lose part of it. So what you have to start thinking about is what kind of poison is trying to take you off the right way of doing things. It is a deadly snake so the energy is really strong. If you go back to the dream before, you can see that the deadly poison you are fearing is the materialistic ways of the culture you live in. Its aim is to take away your moral compass so that you give into materialistic urges as if they will make your life good.
So really the dreams want you to focus a great deal on the your children’s character development, what is going to make them strong persons. Much of the culture we see around us weakens children as if it were poison.

good morning,
i am very interested to find out the meanings of the dreams below, both were very real and i remember every detail
first dream was about being in a shopping centre and loosing my best friends daughter, no one would help me find her but eventually after serching i found her.
once i woke up from that dream i fell back aslepp to have another dream, about getting bitten on my right hand by a brown snake while walkig along the beach.
i remember being terrified of dying because of my 2 yound children the hospital assured me i would live but probably loose my fingers, also i remembe trying to ring people on the phone to tell them but the buttons wouldnt press and when they didnt it was the wrong numbers, therefore i couldnt contact anybody.
i hope you can shed some light on these dream, its very strange for me to have 2 such strong dreams in a row.
thanks you in advance
gemma
The image of a war means that you are in conflict with someone else and in conflict with yourself. He dropped a big bomb onto you in the dream that you need to attend to. The bomb is that when you are in relationship you are not really relating to the person as he is, but you are relating to the person you want him to be. That is what gets you into conflict. The reason you want a person to be someone else is because you want him to have qualities in himself that you don’t have in you, but you need to develop. He is left out because you want him to be something that you need to have inside of yourself, but want him to develop.
You can help yourself a lot by asking yourself what you want him to be like and then start working as hard as you can on being like that. Then you will find a lot of happiness in every relationship and a lot of peace.
So, I had this dream. I dreamt an announcer told me I was being attacked. Right after, bombs were being dropped down. It was war.
Then my dream switched to my ex sitting in the red truck that I now have. He was visibly upset, and said, “I drove six hours to see you. And you’re in his bed.” I tried telling him I loved him and that I just didn’t understand. I was very upset. He was gone. I woke up.
YAY!! thankyousomuch for this! it really helps and makes things clearer. :)))

The reason you have this dream about the other guy rather than your boy friend is because you need a particular type of energy or quality that the other guy has to make your relationship with your current boy friend work better. It is not that you need to have a relationship with the other boy. only that you understand what his positive quality is that you are attracted to. One of the purposes of dreaming is to find out positive qualities that you can integrate into your life. He has one that you need. When you get it, you will find that you are much more in love with your current boyfriend.
My boyfriend keep dreaming that he got another girl pregnant. And it bothers him because he said it’s not true. Will you tell me what this mean? Thankyou
Hi Richard ! i have a boyfriend for more than 2 years already. i love him so much. but before we became together, there is this guy that i like and i think he feels the same way too. (i don’t know, I’m not so sure) but we didn’t have the chance to talk about it. Anyway, so within this 2 years, i have been dreaming about this guy more than my boyfriend, the ratio is like 1:10 . And every time i dream about him, everything is just so vivid, the feelings, his face, everything, even the touch of his skin. in my dreams we always hang out and we act like we are together like boyfriend and girlfriend, we hold each others hands it’s like real, but i know in my dream that i have a boyfriend that will get mad if he founds out what I’mm doing, but i still hangout with him, and I feel relieved and so happy whenever I’m with him in my dream, it’s like that’s the time we finally have the chance to show our feeling with each other. And I carry this feeling even after when i woke up already.
what is the meaning of this ? Im getting really confused with my feelings.
It would be really cool to finally have this dream interpretted
This is a response to Catarina’s dream. This is a very interesting dream. When you think about WW1, it is hard to imagine a war where the egos of the generals and leaders were so huge and the lives of the soldiers were so cheap to them. When you remember the sacrifice and courage of the soldiers, the shame of the war goes onto the leaders and generals, which is where it belongs. They do not want you to remember the soldiers because the memory of fallen soldiers puts to shame the recognition and glory seeking of the generals. They often devised battle plans where 50,000 people might die for the gain of one kilometer only to beaten back later.
In the same way that generals want to be glorified so too does your employer. If you remember the part you play or the other workers, then it makes him look really bad, which it is.
But when you remember the role you play and keep doing it, you might anger your employer, but you end up getting really great results. This is the important thing. Your employer will want you to forget the sacrifice so that he can get glory and keep on doing bad things. If you hold to the positive memories of what you are doing, then he will soon be gone. If you forget them, he will continue doing his bad stuff.
This is a response to Vimla’s dream. The problem with a dream like this, especially that it recurs, is that time in the spiritual dimension is not like time in the earth. This dream really makes a lot of sense to me if I think about being in that state of mind all the time, rather than once in my life. Your husband obviously has a difficult time letting go of things that happen to him when he is working. If he were to come home, for instance, and say the words each day from the dream, then he would find a lot of peace, but he holds onto the work when he comes home and then he cannot focus on his home life or other things.
Think about it. “Be at peace. Your work is done. Meet your Maker.” God is in the home for him, meaning that his spiritual work inside of himself is with his home, not his work. If he can let go of the work, and focus on his home life and work through all of the issues and challenges that it presents, then it will be like he is in heaven. Now he holds onto his work because he believes that that is where God is.
Dear Richard,
Last night I was dreaming that I was living in World War One.
I had the job of moving the bodies of the dead soldiers off the battlefield.
I gathered all the bodies and I buried them in their graves, on the battlefield. I planted flowers and herbs for them.
I didn’t want the soldiers to ever be forgotten so I made the symbol of a huge cross in the earth.
When my employee came back and saw what I’d done, he was angry and tried to shoot me as well.
What does this mean?
My husband has a repeated dream which has occurred intermittently over the past 2 years or so. A lady’s voice says to him: “Be at peace my son, your work on earth is done. Be prepared to meet your maker.” He only shared this with me recently as he did not take it seriously, and often forgot about it. However, I recall that in the past 2 years he has often said to us in jest that he is in “God’s waiting room” and that he is willing to accept passing on. We have always told him that he was talking nonsense as he is in good health and has no reason to feel that way. Please help.
Ashley,
The first thing you need to realize about this dream is that it is your husband’s dream and hence, his issue, not yours. I am not sure what you mean conceived in an area no longer able to have sex in… The dream say this about him. When you were first married, he played a certain role in terms of supporting you and looking after you. It is very common in a lot of marriages. Now you have gotten to the stage where you no longer need him the same way. You are developing in new ways that do not need his support anymore. It is like you are going to have a new baby, but the new baby is like a capacity or new positive energy that you didn’t have before. It has nothing to do with him, but when you develop it, actually makes everyone’s life better. When he does the same thing for himself, your marriage will get really great, much better than ever before.
It is like his dream is telling him to develop new parts of himself as well that have nothing to do with you.
My husband had a. Dream that I was pregnant but by another person in the military and conceived in an area no longer able to have sex in…..what could this dream mean?
