O.k., so according to Ra's suggestion I'll be writing the next dreams in the present tense:
In one dream I'm drawing an abstract painting with different areas in different colours. The fabric gets torn in the middle. It's old. But I don't really care. It's o.k. I'm focusing on my work.
Second dream: I record a song I made up in a recording machine. I am sitting in my childhood bedroom.


I have many dreams in which I create music. And these two are examples to me showing creativity in dreams. In real life, however, my mind is blank. I have no creative idea, and I've actually given up on artistic career, or on the supposed prospects for such a career, in order to follow another path. I don't feel like I miss anything, but I have many dreams in which I create (music, writing, and sometimes drawing). I don't understand what's the use of having these dreams. I've already given up, and I literally don't care. Could these dreams indicate anything else besides a choice of career? Thanks for your replies.

I see music as communication with different words. Those "words" do have a stronger affection to my mood. As for dreams:
Vivaldi = good symbol for movement.
Beethoven = I am deaf .
Edit: This is my personal connection.

Thank you, GeminiKarat. I wasn't dreaming of Vivaldi or Beethoven, though, but on my own music, and it didn't necessarily included words, by the way.

Perhaps your destiny or purpose or a task that God had in mind for you was to bring some beautiful creation to the world, that in your youth you were on the way to find. But gave up before you found it or before you have perfected your skills and determination to make it come forth... as we usually do give up before turning that corner. So maybe the dream is a reminder from your higher self.

A verse from Tolkien to remind us not to be discouraged too quickly:
"Around the corner there may wait, another road or a secret gate."

Anyway, that's how it felt to me reading your dreams.

You are welcome.

I meant that there is an emotional connection to music. Some people remember the 1st song they have heard when they met and it has a positive meaning to the word "meeting".

Thank you for your interpretation, but I don't think so. If that was indeed God's intention, s/he wouldn't have let me go through what I did.

You've had trauma in your life that you continue to process, Ayelet. Recognize, if you can, that you have really come credibly far. You've got an open future before you, even if you can't see it right this moment. It will come!

You've barely reached the halfway point of your life yet!! It's not over.

There are Creative "gushers" and geysers that form deep within. It will spring up again.

Creative life could be compared to a Beautiful lighted recycling Grand Fountain. Just because it's not appearing to flow on the outside at times, there is plenty happening on the inside! You will RISE again.

Your subconscious and unconscious mind is STILL Composing.

You will see.... When the surge comes back?, you'll find that you have actually improved your ability. You'll see work come forth that is EVEN MORE refined than it ever was. The brain continues to work and improve our ideas, underneath our conscious awareness.

You've heard the adage, "Sleep on it?" Lovingly, affectionately... Why do you think they say that??

Oh Mirage, I wrote you such a long response and it got deleted...
Thank you for your warm words, you have a gigantic soul
I won't write again all that I did, I'll be shorter this time, sorry..
When I needed a cure, art didn't help me. I feel better now, but not thanks to art (unless life is art).
I actually had it rough enjoying things and couldn't enjoy concerts or the theatre anymore.
I actually stopped listening to classical music, even though I continued searching for beautiful music.
There is a saying that, in times of war, the muses are silent. So it was with me. I saw horrors. There was no sense of harmony. Now I am healed, more or less. But I can't forget how the muse left me when I needed her the most. And I can't forgive.
It is probably not my destination after all.
It doesn't matter what you do, but what is your purpose, and so if I do anything good, than all is good. There is more than one way to contribute. I am trying to form now a new-old way.

Nothing we do is EVER wasted.
Everything has VALUE... ALL of it. You'll see that some day, when you are older in life. It DOES 'all' fit!... really it does.

Nothing you've 'been through' in life is ever wasted experience, either-- the good, and the sad and bad and painful.

You are still collecting various life-experiences for the bank-stores building up inside you. You don't know your assignment yet. It's still coming together.

You said you know your purpose now? ...
(Share with me? ..)

It WILL all connect together... Things that might have looked as though you wasted your time, were PARTS of a Whole intricate picture still being formed.

For another thing too? ... Our life doesn't just belong to us. We are connected to other people's journeys too.

You have had starts, then disruption.
Go again, then hiccup.
THIS is working something inside of you, you might not even be aware of yet. It's something you needed to have happened SO THAT you'll really be able to come into a clearer knowing of WHO you are.... and what that will mean. It's something favorable, and Good for your life.

Right now you are doing the hard work. Work it. Live. Day by day.

Ayelet {{ }}.... You are a Cool person. Sooo deep. Your Insights are blazing astonishing!

I'm sorry if something has happened in your life recently that could have been upsetting to you? ... I want you to be Okay. You don't need to feel all-together according to the way the rest of the world expects.

And maybe one of these days... you'll feel a special security in you. Things that people (you admire) say, then disappoint you, won't phase you like it has.

Step by step...... YOU are Loved, my Ayelet!
And I'm sooooo glad you're here.

Thank you Mirage. I am working in the direction of therapy right now. Hope it will bear good fruit.
And nothing never ends, since we never end.

Are you becoming a counseling person?

Could add workshop-experiences for creative poetry/writing and music? Do it out in the community without calling it therapy. ... Guess that's called journaling? lol. Include dream interpretation exercises!

Yes, I caught your ref. ...
We are immortal beings.

I am trying to get accepted into a certain program. Whether I get accepted or not, my intention right now is to work with people from all walks of life, especially with those who suffer emotional pain. These are my intentions; if they are in harmony with the greater plan, I will succeed.

I never did workshops. I taught music for one year... I really wanted to do a group discussing dreams, but having no diploma yet or tested experience, who would come? I mean, how can I promote myself? Perhaps as a dreamer... I used to write detailed dream diaries and so I have very good memory of them. I believe I could contribute to a group discussion, and even guide such a discussion, but I've never done this before...

Hello Ayelet

quote:
It doesn't matter HOW one does, it matters WHAT he does.

I believe it is the other way around. It doesn’t matter WHAT you do, but HOW you do it, and WHY. The WHAT is only a vehicle for the HOW and WHY. A therapist can be every bit as creative as a painter or musician.

You wrote, and I’ll paraphrase, “I am painting on a torn canvass.” … Does that not reflect how you are feeling about your life? In the dream you are okay with it and write, “I am focusing on my work.” Is this not also how you feel?

As mirage suggests, the roots of your creative conundrum run deep (make music in childhood home), replaying within your subconscious (music recording), likely manifesting as creative blockages and in times of inner confusion.

You will make a great, and creative, therapist.

That's what Volunteering provides. Look for where you can plug-in to practice.

Merely 'observe' your mistakes (and not take it to heart). It's OKAY to make mistakes. Incorporate any feedback given. (You might give out a feedback questionnaire for afterwards.)

I don't know where you are located geographically... so I'll let you brainstorm for yourself there.

I may try. Perhaps after the exams are over I'll think it through. Thing is, if I get accepted, I wouldn't have time for it next year, so it would have to be a one semester thing. Also I'd have to find a place for the group. We'll see. Thanks for the suggestion.
