Dreams For Peace 
There is a train my ex and i are in going around fast in circles mean while we are trying to grab his new wife and cant than i end up buying a house with my ex that has a leaky roof and my mom finally loves me again cuz im back with him but i feel sad out of place cuz i miss my current husband so bad than on the Statue of liberty my children and i are stuck while green spiders come down the sky but they arent mean and my daughters have holes cut in the crotch if their pants and we were chasing a cat named joker who jumped of the Coronado bridge and some how we all lived and i worked at a yard sale on a boat.
Dear Jessica,
This dream takes you back to who you were when you were with your ex because you have some old patterns that they had with him that you need to let go of now and replace them with new ways of being and acting. A train is a single track which means one way thinking or being stuck in a single way of doing things that just goes around and around. This is how you were with him. Also when you are with him your house is leaky. This means that your Self is unprotected from negative things that come in. For some reason your mom likes your ex which probably makes it difficult for you to let go of your old patterns of behavior. Your new husband allows you more liberty like the statue of liberty and then you can weave positive relationships which are represented by the green spiders and be more independent. So the dream is saying to not let yourself be railroaded by someone else because it puts your true self in danger. It will just take you in circles. Be independently minded and then you will be able to have great relationships with others. Your mother is problematic so you really have to be detached from what she thinks. She is way off.
I’ve been having a dream a lot and in it it’s usually night. I’m in my house and through the glass door I see either one of my dogs or my sister and have to let her or one of the dogs in. Most commonly it’s my sister but my dog Potter is the second most seen. My sister will have darker eyes and for some reason I will think it’s not her. I call her out on it saying “You’re not my sister.” When I do she attacks me then turns into one of my dogs and runs outside then I wake up. In my most recent dream of this I looked outside and saw my dog cocoa. I let her in but something was off. I realized she was an impostor and called her out on it. Afterwards she attacked me and turned into another dog before escaping back outside. I’m not sure what this could mean since there’s not one set person or animal I have this dream with. What do you think it means?
Dear Lucia,
The dogs in the dream are metaphors for friends in your life, like your sister, who act in a darker way than you expect them to. When you call them on the darkness, they act out of their vicious side and attack you. It is not necessarily that you are wrong in your assessment, but that you call them on it. This is because when people act out of their ego/dark side, calling them on it just brings out the darkness in action. What you can do is see the darkness like you did, and then plan for it being there. This means that you have to be aware of the darkness of others and plan for it so that the darkness does not take advantage of you. But if you call it out, it usually means that you are going to be attacked. This is because the darkness feels threatened when it is named.
This is how my dream started.i was at a corner store.my lil brother and I was together but I left him in the car.i went in the store for a few minutes.out the blue my son and daughter shows up.i ask where did y’all come from.they hit the door running my daughter is leading the way my son I caught up to him my daughter running full speed ahead across a high way with no fear and lead us to a house where my uncle and mother was. I saw my mom smiling and happy and crying.
Dear Andre T,
This is an indication that you are developing the energy inside where you are really together in a positive way with your children and the rest of your family. When you do this, you will move forward in your life in ways that you cannot even begin to imagine. It says to work really hard on this and then your children will be fearless.
Me and my best friend were in a gift shop and my he was looking at posters. He quickly grabbed my hand to pull me along, but kept holding it while he was looking through them as if it comforted him. I let him because it made me feel warm, and after a while, I just didn’t care anymore, and I held his hand too. It felt like home for both of us. Then after I did that, he pulled me in to his side and kept me there as he continued looking for what he needed. We were complete.
If it’s of any relevance, I should mention that we both have an underlying connection for one another, but we both mock each other 24/7 and are too prideful to admit anything to each other… or maybe it’s all just mixed signals. Childish, right? But that’s our relationship. We’re like each other’s missing puzzle piece.
Dear Patricia,
This dream shows that while you connect well with each other at a very fundamental level, the fact that you mock each other means that you are protected and fearful to be vulnerable with each other. It is your dream so it is going to be up to you to find out how to move the relationship forward by being more positive and gentle and open. The first work you have to do with yourself is to let go of feeling so protected.
Good morning ,
So I Want To Know What Does It Mean When You Dream About Your Mom Cheating On Her Husband & After That I Remember Arugung With Her About It & Then We Where At Her Birthday Party I Starting Crying Out Of Anger And Then I Left Back to The House & I Remember Being With Two Other Girls I Just Don’t Remember There Name Nor How They Look .
& Onces We Got To The House I Remember Them Going In The Bathroom To Wash There Feet & After That We When Back Outside & I Seen My Brother Friend With A Gun & He Fired It But Didn’t Hit Anyone & Then He Gave It To My Brother .
I Remember Hearing & Seeing Cops Up & Down The Streets & Them Hiding Because Of The Gun After That I Woke Up .
Dear Kimberly,
The reason that you are dreaming about your mom cheating on your dad is because something is wrong with their relationship that causes her to be emotionally involved with someone/something else. It does not have to be an affair. When you feel the lack of togetherness, you get angry and upset. Your brother has the same anger as you only he is more outward with it trying to shoot others down and getting himself in trouble. To solve the dream you have to realize that the problems between your mother and father are theirs to solve. You cannot do anything about it. You have to try to get on with your own life and leave them to work out their difficulties. Having good friends is a good start. You have an important life to live and need to find it.
Good morning sir, I broke up with my boyfriend about two weeks ago now. I had a dream I showed up to his house and was the kitchen talking to his family; keep in my we take a family trip on a 7 day cruise every year. The cruise is in March nothing is paid on our end as of yet….. back to my dream, I was on the kitchen talking to his mom and he comes on asking me “what am I going to do about the cruise”? Am I going? His mom or sister but in and he cuts them off with “I’m trying to ask my baby about the cruise”. In reality, Again we haven’t spoke in two weeks he got so pissed at me and when I ask about the cruise he told me he was not going
Dear Quita,
In the dream, despite the break-up, you end up in his kitchen. I am wondering what you are doing in his kitchen. If you have fully broken up in your mind, you wouldn’t be back in his kitchen asking about the cruise. You would just cancel it. This means a part of you has not broken up yet. It is still hanging on interacting with his family. Because you are with the family it seems to me that it is more like you were/are in a marriage than him just being your boyfriend. When you are in a marriage and you break up, it is a break up with the whole family, not just him. That seems to be what you are trying to work out in the dream.
I saw a dream again. In the dream I saw that it is raining heavily,I mean all throughout the dream it was raining continuously and the weather was very gloomy and dark. In real life I love this kind of weather,dark and gloomy and I also love rain. So I saw that I was in a wheelchair and I was going through the streets in the wheel chair and suddenly a guy appeared out of the blue and he was helping me and was taking me to a place where I work. In real life I am in STEM field but in the dream he took me to my place of work and it was a huge clothing mill and I was a tailor there. So he helped me from the wheelchair to sit on my chair and I started sewing clothes and the clothes were dresses for females and I was enjoying sewing the clothes so much. And in real life I can walk on all fours and I am not disabled. So I was working and then I saw that the guy was standing and waiting for me till I finished work. And then he again helped me with the wheel chair. And then it started raining heavily and I felt like we were in the 20th century time period and not in the 21st century. It felt like a time travel kind of thing and it felt so amazing to be in the 20th century. So suddenly what happened is that I saw my favourite actress standing and buying some jewellery and I suddenly stood up from the wheel chair and I could walk properly and then I went up to her and shook hands with her and hugged her and took her autograph and also clicked selfies with her but the mist strange thing is there were no smartphone in the 20th century. and then I woke up.
And another thing I wanted to add is that I looked different. My face and my body looked different,it was like my soul is in a different body but I was a female but of different race different from the race I am now. And my dress was from the 20th century like they used to wear at that time and everyone was wearing clothes of that era.
Hi, The goal is to get into your vibrant and happy current self and be fully into your own time now.
Dear Stefanie,
The rain and gloom and darkness in the dream are about what happens when emotional gloom happens to you. It is about when you are rained on by emotional storms. When this happens you feel handicapped like being in a wheelchair. It lets you know that you can ask for help and support like the guy showing up in the dream. The sewing corresponds to your real life work because stem work helps people to get sewed back together and be a new person. The guy stands for support and encouragement. When you get it, the rain and gloom turn to sunshine and brightness like being with your favourite actress. In sum, the dream is about being ok to get support when you need it. It will brighten your life and lift you.
Hi Mr. Hastings,
How are you? I’m Janica, you have interepreted my dreams for me before, I would to first of all like to say thank you very much for everything, and I would also like to ask if you could please help me interpret these 3 dreams I had recently? It’s of me and my friend Ricky, I’m thinking of talking to him and resolving a problem we have but this time part of me wants to end a situation with him and the other part of me is holding on and a little bit unsure of what to do. But I as a background on everything, we were supposed to have a relationship together but it has not come to it’s full fruition because he is dealing with past emotional hurt, which I understand needs time and had no problem being there for him as he heals, but the only real expectation I had was for him to be honest about his emotions and open up to me, the reason being is that he would have back and forth fights with me in the fight, if I tried to help him or whenever he would ask for for advice regarding career or life, he would act on it then say he knew already, like a know-it-all, being really arrogant and having that controlling part of him try to come out, in general he is good hearted, kind, and smart, but he is sometimes not the best at taking wise risks that will lead him anywhere, impulsive, and makes the same mistakes over and over again, some are serious outcomes, and I’m honestly been trying to make sure he is well and on the right path. He can be someone, who says stuff he doesn’t mean out of anger, and I get that it happens sometimes during fights, but he goes too far and becomes manipulative and almost scared whether he knows it or not. I honestly 99.9% of the time tell the truth and even in anger, I won’t say stuff to hurt people intentionally but I show them where the problem is inorder for them to fix it or if they need my help, I will help them, rarely do I say stuff I don’t mean. But anyways, he always comes and goes, he is one second saying kind words and being sweet, then next he gets in a fight over stupid reasons, I don’t mean to talk of myself, but I’ve been there for him for 3 years, and helped through his problems while suffering through my own illness, watched him grow gradually, having faith in him, but I’m just getting tired of this same cycle, and am contemplating of ending it, or what to do, but whenever I want to do it, I keep seeing dreams of him. Could you please help me? The dreams are :
1. I dreamnt, that I was waiting for him to come out the gates of his appartment, there was a yellow background wall, and there was a barred gate between me and him, it was a black color and polished with long, thin bars that was pointed at the top and on the gate was an oriental style circle design carving that was also black. He had reached his hands through the gate and took a picture of himself, and he himself was wearing a black sweater with a hood, and I felt he was trying to get out. But somehow I saw him him disappear suddenly, and he then was standing next to me and we went off to some places.
2. I dreamnt that,I was sitting in some place and he was sitting to my right, but I was sitting a bit higher elevation than him, and grabbed my shoulder to look at him, then he had a serious look on his face, he kissed me, then the dream changed, he was in my house, it was a little dark, but stilk visible environment, He was standing by the table and Mirror by out front door, My mom had said something to him and he suddenly walked out of the house, I ran after him, I said to him to stay, and he was close by his car, a black mustang or porsche, right next to a white car in my drive way, he waited then he came close to me and kissed me and put his body on mine, his groin was near mine, pinned me up on the pillar of the front house. Then the dream changed, I saw I had changed form, I turned into a reddish brown race horse, I know that there was a patch of my hair that was blonde, with a brown design of horse’s head outline. I was getting ready to go a race, I know that I could turn into a human anytime, I turned into human, I went to grab something from my drawer, it was small socks that could fit a horse, and human socks, both with soft blue and green horizontal stripes.
3. I dreamnt that I was standing somewhere and Ricky was next to me on the right, in a bright place, he came up to me and kissed me, then grabbed my legs and opened me, he put himself in me and was making love to me, then I felt something in my stomach fill me up, and he had ejaculated in me, I was thinking oh no I’m not on birth control pills, I might have gotten pregnant, but I didn’t feel like I would get pregnant, then I saw myself going home, I was on the train, he and live in different cities, I am an hour away from him, but in the dream I got off the train and saw him sitting or dropping a missile or a bomb somewhere, and there was a huge, fiery explosion, then I woke up.
Thank you so much,
hello Richard,
You’ve helped me in the past, and i appreciate it. (thank you)
If you have time, i am asking for your help again, and i am hoping that you will help me with the dream i had last night.
My mood throughout the dream, and upon waking, was one of mostly watching, observing, with a calm mind, open and curious.
The dream begins with my partner and myself entering into a home depot and we notice outside that hoses are on sale. As we enter, i see it’s dim, and the lights are not on in the first aisle to the left, which contains hoses and bbq’s. As we get closer to the hoses, i notice a woman on the floor trying out one of the hoses, and as she plays with it, the water pressure is increasing till she turns and starts to wash the bbq. I think…gee…I wonder if she should be doing that, and i just watch. When she notices us, she heads off down the aisle with the hose still spraying. My partner turns to me, and says, ” I’m going to buy that bbq”.
I’m calm, watching, and think…oh…ok.
Next scene:
I’m in our home with a galley kitchen off the livingroom. My partner is in the livingroom and i am closer to the kitchen. (It’s not really our home, but in the dream i know it is ours.)
I notice what i think is the same woman, and she is cleaning the kitchen counter, looking like she has done the dishes. i go over closer and see that’s it’s actually my daughter-in-law. And then i see that it’s not dishes. To the left of the sink, piled on a drying matt, are dishes, pieces of broken dishes, any many, many stones and pieces of quartz sitting in about an inch of pale white sludge that looks like ground quartz. She turns to me and tells me she didn’t know what to do with the sludge. I tell her it’s ok, I know what to do. Again, i still feel somewhat detached, calm and mostly observing. And i wake up.
Thank you for your time and effort on my behalf. I always appreciate your help.
Dear Jono,
The virtues that you are showing in the dream are just how you named them, detachment and calm. So the question you can ask yourself is why are you getting those virtues coming up in yourself in the dream? It means that you need them in your life somewhere, probably in dealing with a difficult emotional issue in someone else. Both women seem to doing things that are unusual for the space they are in. When you are calm and detached, you will be able to give a lot of help in difficult situation.
I had a very horrifying dream. I saw that I was living in a house with my mother and in real life I love my mother a lot. So in the dream what happened is that flood came to the city and destroyed each and every property and house. The flood also affected our house and me and my mom was floating in the water when it hit us and I was holding on to my mom but suddenly the forces of water were too strong and she said she’s there for me but she told me to not worry about her and save myself. The rescue teams arrived and they saved me and I searched for my mom everywhere and she was nowhere to be found and I started crying so bad in my dream and I felt like I lost my whole world as I lost my mother and I couldn’t stop crying and I felt like dying. What does it mean?
Hi Stefanie,
A flood is a symbol of too much negative relational energy such as criticism or vicious gossip or other kinds of negative interpersonal attacks. It is a flood of negative waters which means too much. In the flood you survived, but your mother did not. This means that to a degree you can save yourself from really negative relating, but she cannot because she is too sensitive. If you want to change the situation around in your life, you can change the flood of negative energy in the words to positive calm and beautiful waters that are characterized by encouragement, support and find the positive in others. This is what you need to do if you are going to have a positive impact on the world and it is how you are going to help your mother by finding those beautiful things in her and telling her.
Thank you so much,I can totally relate to what you said 🙂
In my dream, I was on a school bus on a trip out of town. I was sitting next to two stoners when one of them, who is sort of my friend, pulled out an injection. He was showing it to his friend who was sitting in front of us, and was about to use it when I joked around, telling him to give me some. I laughed it off because everyone knows I’m a goodie and don’t do stuff like that..
but my mistake, he was stoned, how was he supposed to know I was joking.. He put it closer to my right forearm, which I left held out because I thought he knew I was joking and wasn’t going to actually do it, but before I could pull back, he quickly injected me with the white substance without a care or realization.
I then quickly pulled my arm back, but couldn’t say anything as I just stared, holding my arm in shock at what just happened. My vision started becoming wavy as I was devastated, thinking, “that was my first drug ever, and my body can no longer be considered drug free.” I stared at him in disbelief and collapsed back in my seat as he chatted with his friend and said that what he injected me with, was called nymphomaniac something?
Dear Trish,
That is such an interesting dream. The drug they are trying to put into is so that you will become a nymphomaniac which means that you get so that you cannot have enough sex. This is what the stoners want because they don’t want to do the actual relationship work with you to get close to you and be a close friend. The purpose of getting stoned is so that they can avoid the fear and pain that they have associated with getting close to people. They are trying use substances to get what is essentially a spiritual process of closeness. Being drug free is such a positive state because it means that you can go for the closeness with others without the need of physically blocking out the issues that keep you from the experience. The drugs are only ever temporary. They don’t work for more than the time they are in your body. When they are out of the body the fears come back even stronger because now they have more avoidance. Even though you took the drug, you are still drug free because you were not doing it to avoid things. This is why drugs are really not positive unless dealing with severe physical diseases. Congratulations on having a really strong moral compass. You will not believe how many opportunities it will open for you.
I had a dream that I was kissing a babygirl. I was really happy and loving towards her. She then told me “when im born you leave”. I asked her what her birthday is and she said August 5th. Please help me with this dream I am a little scared
Dear Roses and Glam,
The baby girl represents a part of you that is being born, like a new positive part, that is so positive for you, that you are going to be able leave your negative or ego parts behind. It will be as if you have had a new birth and you will wonder where the ego went. Of course this all depends on how much effort you put into the process. You have to work hard internally to get the new self to come out.
Someone that I have a crush on invited to his house for a party. When I got there, nobody else had arrived yet. I was in the living room looking around while he was standing behind me in the hallway cleaning up. He passed gas very loudly and briefly walked in the room I was in straightening up the candy bowl looking very embarrassed. Without saying anything to me he walks right past me to his bedroom. He changed into his pajamas and never came out to the party.
Dear Joy,
I don’t think I have ever heard a dream like this, Joy. (And I have heard a lot of dreams). The problem in the dream is passing gas. Passing gas in the dream is a metaphor for the fear of doing something that is going to be really embarrassing which then keeps the two of you from interacting. The key to dealing with embarrassment is to be able to laugh at a situation and take it really lightly. You have to imagine that situation and see how you would handle it so that the embarrassment goes away. Then you can get into a relationship with him.
Good morning. I had a dream that I was working one day and I received a text from my boyfriend after a few days of not speaking, a picture of a Mercedes G-Wagon truck with a big pink bow. I asked him who car it was. He took too long to respond. So I called him he picked up quickly. I asked again “who car it was?” He seemed to be talking to me and a guy friend at the same time and he responded with “the game is over on the 1st. What’s mind blowing is the car he sent me a photo of I see everyday driving at random at least 2 to 3 times a day. We are having issues again and I believe it’s really bothering him. I had a dream he appeared at a location I was at he appeared unhappy that we were having problems yet again but the vibe I received from his presence was I don’t care what you say I’m not going anywhere. Please help me with my dream.
Dear Lane,
The question that comes up for me in your dream is about the photo of the car. Why would he send you a photo of a car with a big pink bow, but not tell you anything about it. This is because he wants to drive you around in his way of acting and wants you to act the way he wants you to be. He doesn’t see who you are and how you need to be in the world. He only sees his own self and what he wants. Breaking up with him is going to be difficult because he is determined to be with you and make you into the person he wants you to be. Be careful with him.
Last two nights, I’ve dreamed of being on the beach and he suddenly appears. The first dream he showed up and looked depressed. The second was we came from behind and grabbed from the back and when I turned to see who it was it was him smiling.
Dear Lane,
Being on the beach means that you are in a location that is casual and social. He shows up once as depressed and then again as smiling or more up. This means that he wants to be with you, but he has some major issues to deal with first that are causing the depression. My sense is that he wants you to be the fix that gets him out of depression, but really he needs to do his own work so that he could possibly be a good partner. Use caution.
Had a dream last night it was my boyfriend, his male friend, a woman who appeared to be my boyfriend sister, and I. We were in a truck headed to dinner seemingly. My boyfriends friend was driving. We got out the car to walk to the destination. As we were walking my boyfriend held hands with the woman who appeared to be his sister. I was sooo confused when I saw this. The holding of hands lasted a small moment before he turned and focused on me. At that moment I appeared pissed. The second part of this dream I ended up somehow with my own car at the restaurant. My female cousin sat at the table with me as I distanced myself from the table my boyfriend, his male friend, and the girl who appeared as his sister sat. My boyfriend kept watching me from his table. When I got up to leave, he proceeded to get up to leave with me this girl who appeared as his sister was right behind him. In the dream I ended up at my boyfriends home in bed with a little baby girl with me.
Hello! I would like to try this thing out with this re-occuring dream that I have been bothered for a few days… It was really long somehow but I’ll try to shorten it. It was like some RPG game but I had other dreams like this, Re occuring dreams I must say. They really bother me a lot and.. I always end up crying whenever I wake up from these kinds.
I would like to tell one of them which is the one I had recently… Since this pains me more and it was mostly about me searching for my missing friend. It was weird to dream of her like this because we had no conflictions or anything, especially when she is a classmate of mine. I tried not to have a mental breakdown when I told her about it, so she suggested me to try this website out.
So, I had this dream started where floors are different kinds of universes,and the floor where I am is Floor 1. (In my guess. I’m not really that sure.)
My friend, (let’s call her Mari) was watching TV, kind of a cartoon show. I told her that I’ll be taking a nap. So after that, I returned to the room where she is to see she is no longer there. Being anxious, and I dislike being alone at times, I searched her everywhere in 1st floor which is the HOUSE we both “lived” in. I decided to go out, but instead of a door to outside,it was an elevator. I descended down to Floors/Universes(?) 2,3, and 4. To find out different versions of her. But it wasn’t my “Mari” that I was searching of. As what the voices say everytime I see a different version of her in each floor…
Floor/universe 2 Mari, was hanged there, with a mixed up strings or blob of books, flowers and some things. Like some puppet. I tried to help her get off but this distorted person stopped me before I do amd pushed me back to the elevator.
Floor 3/universe Mari, was in a test tube, connected with such things to her body. Though her body is almost covered with Marigold flowers. Somehow like she was as if decaying..? I couldn’t do anything to save her, but watch her in sadness.
Floor/universe 4 Mari, was a pale giant version of her,who is covered up with moss, vines and some flowers there in her body. She looks at me blanklyx and it made me feel really sad about it.
It was weird that she was called “goddess” in every universe and such which I don’t understand.
I went back to Floor 1 to check on the room where I last saw her, when I went in all I see was a hallway with a broken TV. When I was trying to change the channel, a GLITCHED up Mari told me that “your Mari wasn’t here from the start” before she killed me?? i dont know but i blacked out and woke up after that…
Dear Hiro,
The problem or challenging you are facing is how to get reconnected with your friend Mari. You have difficulties with finding the positive Mari because in real life you are fearful of being all alone. When you feel alone, you start seeing different versions of people that are negative in nature, not positive. This happens to you because the culture you live looks at life as if it were an elevator. You are trying to go up to higher and higher levels. Having an elevator culture is detrimental to having really connected relationships because there is always comparing and trying to outdo the next person. In a culture where relationships are important connections occur because people only see the positive in each other and do not compare themselves with one another. The key to connection for you is to not feel like there are different versions of a person when they are different levels, to not compare people based upon their negative qualities, but to see only the positive in others and to mention it to them at all times. Let go of seeing the negative and really focus on the positive in others. Then you will never feel alone or lonely. It is especially important to do the same with yourself, that is, to remember your positive qualities and to live in the energy of your positive qualities. When you do this, the whole world will be your friend.
Thank you so much for this! I appreciate it!
I had a dream that i was in the mall at a shoe store tring on shoes. There was a man standing a distance away and he stated that he liked the shoes. A few minutes later he came over to me and gave me a $100.00 dollar bill and walked away.
Dear Clothia,
The interesting thing about this dream is that the shoes that the man was attracted to did not even belong to you. You were just trying them on to see how they were for you, but he still gave you $100. This shows you something really interesting. It shows that just trying something on has a great deal of value. The shoes are just a metaphor as is shopping. It is not the real life lesson. The lesson is if you try on possibilities in your life, it is of great value. This could be like trying on a new activity like a nw sport or yoga or something or a new type of course or a new way of working. Every time you entertain new possibilities and try them out you are going to bring great value to you. You don’t have to do the thing long term, just try them on. Try out new things. It is worth a lot.
In my daughter’s dream she is awakened at top hours of the morning by loud banging on her front door when she peeks out its a friend but it’s not him , he’s possessed .. And Satan is there with him .. She doesn’t open the door and runs back to the room to wake up her boyfriend with no success ,, again the loud banging , she walks into the living room but this time they are both inside sitting in her living room ??
Dear Carmina,
When someone has a dream like this where Satan appears, it is absolutely essential that you understand that Satan is a metaphoric presence of dark energy in the person rather than an actual being called Satan. The dark energy appears as a negative being so that you get the point that the person at the door carries two energies, his normal positive self and his dark side. When your daughter experiences the dark energy in a person like who is at the door, her reaction is to freak out and run and get her boyfriend so that she can be protected. What she really needs to do is quite the opposite, which is to see herself full of light and positive energy and capable of bringing the light out in others. At this point the dark energy in others easily puts her in a state of fear, but it doesn’t have to be that way. She can be strong in her positive energy and help people let go of the darker sides by seeing their positive sides and letting go of the negative. Of course there are times when a person’s dark energy becomes so negative as in the case of being violent that you need protection from it. In that case you have to decide if self protection is the thing you need. Regardless of dark energy she needs to practice seeing herself as a really positive being that can help others.
Good Morning,
I don’t know if this will help me or not. But I’m trying to figure out a recurring dream. It really REALLY bothers me. Lots of times I wake up crying.
I lost my husband of 20yrs to a car wreck in Sept. 2012. I have this dream OVER N OVER. In my dream my husband isn’t dead. Instead in the dteam He left me for someone else. Sometimes I can see him, but it isn’t his face. He is cold towards me and says he doesn’t love me or our disabled son and never did. We had a very good marriage. We had our typical ups and downs, but the LOVE was strong. We went through ALOT with our son being disabled. My husband was a hard working man, and the most important thing was me and his son. I don’t understand why I keep having the same dream OVER and over. Nor why it portrays him being so mean. The scenes in my dreams change, but it’s always the same theme “he’s mean, didn’t pass away, doesn’t love me or our son, has someone else… etc”.
Obviously it isn’t a normal dream. I’ve had dreams of ppl that have passed.. such as my mom… but it brought peace, not pain… and I have woke up several times just bawling because I love and miss him soooooooo much, even 5yrs later! I woke my husband up that morning for work… we kissed.. said I love you.. and 2hrs later a highway patrol knocked on my door. My hubby was killed instantly in a wreck on way to work.
Dear Lena,
I am sorry to hear what happened to your husband. It can’t be very easy for you. The reason that you have the dream has to do with your disabled son. When your husband died, it was “as if” he left you for another woman and never loved you and is so mean because you are left all alone to deal with the difficulties of parenting without him. Together you were a team and a strong partnership, but him not being there is a like a big hole that is impossible to fill. The fact that you still get up each day and care for your son is a testimony to just how strong you are as a person, but you must have lots of moments of loneliness and sadness wishing he could be there with you. The message of the dream is that you are an amazing human being and have extraordinary capacities. You are fulfilling your purpose in life, something that many people never get to. In time you will be of any greater service to others and affect the lives of many people in a positive way. There is no easy way through grief. It has its own clock and comes and goes as it pleases.
Thankyou for that. Although its not how I feel, because since my husband passed away, our son has had to go live in a home because there is no care for him and I cannot do it alone. My son is 29yrs old, but nowhere near that level mentally, he has a severe seizure disorder that has mentally impaired him, enough so that they separated his brain hemispheres to try and stop the seizures. I feel guilty about my son not living with me, but at same time I get mad at the Lord and my hubby, because they know I cant do all this alone, yet its been put on me to handle rather I like it or not, sometimes I just wanna ball up, and literally die. and to be honest I do catch myself harboring anger towards my hubby in a weird way. I often talk to him and tell him how mad I am, and that he knew better than to leave me and our son alone. It all sounds weird I know. I’m in relationship now, but I don’t think I will ever get over my hubby. You are right, there is a GIGANTIC hole that cant be filled. I figured that 5 yrs I should be “normal” again. But I’m not. Again, Thankyou!
Sincerely,
Lena
PS- I’m still a VERY BIG PART OF MY SONs LIFE. He just isn’t able to live with me.
Dear Lena,
Thank you for the feedback. Since your son is being cared for outside of your home, I am going to suggest something to do you that you may not have considered. If he were still in your home, it would be a different matter which is what I thought was happening. In the process of caring for your son you developed certain aspects of yourself that you might not have developed otherwise such as patience and putting others needs first. The life that you would have liked to have had or that you may have anticipated was taken from you, but now that you have these capacities (which very few people have) there are a lot of things open to you that are not available to most people. You can meditate on this and let new possibilities come to you. No doubt, your husband never wanted to leave you, so I can assure you that he is there for you now and will support you opening up new doors in your life. I wish you all the best. Richard
Could you please help me interpret this dream? But before I get into the dream, In real life, I’m giving a background on everything, I got into a fight with a friend of mine, who I have known for 3 years, we were supposed to begin a relationship together, he had gotten out of a very bad one recently and he reached out to me, we’ve been there for eachother for years, and he had feelings for me in the beginning but I couldn’t begin anything with him because I was suffering through mental illness and I couldn’t get into anything at the moment, I wasn’t ready, but even through those times I helped him through his own pains and difficulties, he used to come to me for advice and me to be there for him when he needed, we all go through phases, and on intuitive and spiritual that’s what I felt was happening to him, he had a difficult past, and I watch him grow. He wanted to begin something and when he moved closer to my place, I helped him find a good school, and even tried to help him with work and finding a place. We did everything, whenever he was sad or needed help I was there for him, but he became very cold towards me, that is his personality, we all have our good and bads, and I felt he was distant, he would make rotten jokes, and be very standoffish and cold, before he admitted that he love and he thought I was his soulmate, we got into a fight on Christmas and he tried to get me back and reconcile, but a few weeks later we got into a fight because I wanted him to be honest with him, so I could know what to do in terms of our dealing with each other, then we stopped talking. But oddly, at 3:44 at morning and night, I would get a text from him of a picture we took together when we were spending time, and it’s the same picture. If you do know what it could mean, could you please tell me? My dream was very brief, I dreamnnt that there was a black porsche or mustang car parked in front of my house, almost as if I felt my friend was being dropped off at my place, and I went to the back and saw a trunk full bags and suitcases full of his clothing, then I woke up from the dream. Could you plesse tell me what it could mean? Thank you so much
Dear Janica,
The dream indicates to me that getting into a relationship with him is a mixed bag. There are some positive aspects of it like the way you can support each other at times, the clothing and bags indicate that you are going to have to deal with a lot of his negative baggage. If you go into a relationship with him, you have to proceed extremely slowly and gradually with your eyes wide open. You will find your heart attracted, but often in the middle of some negative behavior. If he is in a lot of process like in therapy constantly, then there is a chance of it working out. Otherwise, keep it at a distance, supportive but not committed.
I am also Bahá’í and a youth and recently published a picture book about characters of different religions who learn about their common values. I’m currently in a relationship with a girl and we are “investigating each other’s character.” We both really like each other but don’t know if the two of us are going to work out as a future.
I had a dream where I was walking to my author studio. I don’t have one in real life, but I was familiar with it in the dream as if I went to work there everyday. I walked there hand in hand with the girl I like, because we’re married in the dream. The studio is a tall skinny building whose floors are cluttered with boxes like someone just moved in. The only neat room is a back office where friends I work with and I have desks. When I arrive in the office, a group of people enter the room behind me. They are the class of a teacher who wanted me to read my book to her students. I feel really happy as a rummage through the boxes in the hallway for a copy of my book to read to the class.
Because I’m young and at a time when a lot of things about the future are uncertain, I thought the dream might be an easy to understand picture of everything I want; to be married, to be successful, to tell stories, and to feel like I’m making other people happy doing it. I’m wondering if you can see anything else?
The next week I have a dream where I am in bed, I wake up and get dressed to go to work, then I find myself in bed again, realizing that I was only dreaming when I thought I woke up. I get about and dress for what feels like 20 more times, only to find myself in bed again thinking, “I was only dreaming again. This time I’m really waking up.” Maybe this dream has something to do with my feelings of uncertainty, like I’m making a lot of efforts for the future but don’t know if they’re really amounting to anything, and perhaps I’m just running in circles.
What do you think?
Dear Ronald,
The difficulty you have in the dream is knowing whether you are dreaming or you are awake. You think you are awake, but actually you are dreaming. In the first dream you really want your dream to be true. The issue is that are not awake in your life yet. It is not that the dream is problematic. The problem is that you are not awake enough in your life to get the dream to come true. If you want to become more awake and have your dreams come true, you are going to have to shift your focus from the future to the present tense. Shift your focus so that you are thinking about all of your dreams coming true right now, today. Don’t wait for dreams coming true in the future. You need to get in the habit of having dreams coming true all the time. Then the long term dreams will come true also, but without the habit of dreams coming true all the time everyday, your mind will not be able to get to longer term ones. This is probably making no sense to you at all so I will give you the example of marriage. You have the dream of getting married to the girl you like. Why do you want to get to married? You want to get married to get really close to someone and live intimately as partners. Instead of waiting for the future to do the goal, do it today. Set the goal of getting really close to her and go after it today. Don’t wait from the distance. In this way your dream will come true. The same is true for writing. Write today. Don’t wait for the future to have the dream come true. It is in your hands today.
