Hopeful - There is so much symbology wrapped up in the snakes, and the fact of there being three, and further that they are split - one and two - , that I cannot even really go into it. Suffice it to say, though, that they represent something potentially powerful for you, something that is arising in you.

The next fragment suggests a family situation, or a connection to family and its direction. What does your brother mean to you? Protection, security, conflict/competition, guidance? Whatever it is, you seem to be in need of it (laying in lap), or perhaps you need to control it.

Your nephew could be a reflection of this male aspect of self (whatever your brother represents) which needs maturing (child/backseat) or growth, but is resistant. He could also indicate the need to take more control, and the reluctance to do so, relying instead upon the family influence/direction.

And your third fragment - perhaps it WAS a sign about your connection - it appears to be interrupted! You say "I thought I might be talking to my elusive Sag", ... were you? If so, then I think the message simply reflects your apprehension about the relationship and the fact that it may take "work" on his part before things can continue. If the person you were talking to was not him, then who was it? More than likely yourself. In this case, the dream would reflect more of an inner conflict/interruption, an inner "work" on your part, perhaps created by the relationship.

Or perhaps he (elusive Sag) is the representation of that masculine force which is arising within you (snake, nephew, brother)? And perhaps this force is arising because of the relationship you are having with the Sag? If this feels right, then it could indicate your feelings about confronting this side of you which needs completing, and which carries with it the force of transformation.

Also - yes, I believe people can, and do, "talk" through the dream world.

YIVY - I am in good company if you have snake dreams!

Ra -

You have again given me much to think about. I'm intrigued about the snakes - in real life I wouldn't go near one but in the dream I didn't feel any fear. It felt more like they were trying to speak to me - they were a calming influence.

My brother is my closest sibling and I admire the way he treats his family. I do feel protected by him. I think you have hit upon something with the control idea as I have been trying to be less controlling as far as others behaviors and my expectations and instead just letting things be what they are. On the other hand, I am exploring the power of words and the ability to ordain and manifest, so I am learning to walk what for me is a fine line between surrendering control of others and taking responsibility for what I want in my life. So,I think the idea of this control issue maturing is reflected in that dream based on what you saw. Perhaps my brother is there as he's always been a mature, responsible individual in my eyes (he is 8 years older), and since I'm branching into unchartered territory for me, perhaps I was seeking his protection and support.

As for the Sag . . . we were going to get together about 10 days ago and he ended up having to go out of town for work. However, I had been feeling anxious and tense about the date as I could tell he had made a decision to pursue our relationship. I panicked - and I think perhaps that's what started the forces which took him away. So, I think the dream is either our souls talking and him reassuring me that he is interested and is truly busy with work, or it's me telling myself to relax or I'll continue to keep distance between us. Or could it be both? Before I went to sleep that night, I was asking for a message about our connection. Now . . . if only I could interpret the message!

I will continue to try and remember the dreams and post any interesting ones for you. If you get tired of analyzing, feel free to say "enough already Hopeful!"

I do find your analysis encouraging, along with the lexi's and other threads. There are times where I actually feel a little tingly - almost like I'm a little lighter than usual - and then I think I'm on a grand path.

Thanks!

Anytime Hopeful.

Your dreaming content is progressing quickly!

If the snakes interest you enough, do a search in this forum. I think you will find a few things.

Ra -

No remembered dreams last night, but a setback for me this morning. My Sag has decided he currently wants to focus on someone else. NO! Oddly, he is still quite flirtatious and loving, and we are having dinner next week. Do you think the dream where we were talking and I thought work interfered was this other relationship? That's what it feels like. I feel like he was telling me there was going to be this interruption, but in the end it would all work out between us. He was just so reassuring in the dream.

I'll check out the serpent threads.

Hello Ra -
Here are 3 more if you feel like doing some more interpreting . . . I don't know what to make of them!

#1 - I went to a Club Med with two friends. When our taxi pulled up across the street from the resort, I realized I hadn't packed any underwear for the week. I felt surprised, but then thought I'd figure it out. My friends hopped out and started across a huge highway (6-8 lanes) and in the middle they dashed across in front of cars but I was stuck. It was warm and sunny, and suddenly I realized I was naked! I wasn't uncomfortable but thought all the people in the cars would know I was going to the Club Med and I was thinking I should pull on a t-shirt or something but wasn't sure if that was "chic" enough for the CM. I made it across the street and to the check-in line where I saw a couple of guys I knew and thought "did I have to go on vacation to see them? I can see them at home!" My friends ended up sharing a room and I had my own room. One guy had been flirting with me in line, but then another one, who I didn't know but it seems I knew him from another vacation said he'd help me find my room. On the way there, he was getting VERY physical and i just kind of laughed and brushed him away. He said he was surprised I wasn't more inviting - he thought I'd be the first one on the trapeze. We had to go into a covered area and suddenly there was a huge silver slide and I said I'd go down the slide (and I was excited about doing that). [no more - as I was woken by my phone ringing]

#2 - I was on a bus (motorcoach) in a foreign country and pulled the cord for the bus to make an unscheduled stop (like on a city bus) as I said the 4 children needed to eat at McDonald's (I don't think they were my children, but I felt protective)-it was sunny

#3 - I was walking to work - it was a little overcast - and wanted to take a shortcut through a park by some condos, but I was blocked by a speech taking place (the park suddenly become the library) - a female student asked me if the basement was open and I said I thought so (even though I wasn't sure). Next, I'm in the cafeteria and one of the people at the table is the guy from the couch from my other dream - and I'm telling these people how the library served cocktails with frog's heads in them so I had soda - I got up to get food and there was a HUGE line - i reached over someone trying to get a plate, and she handed one to me (she seemed annoyed) and then suddenly there was no one in line - I had chili with cheese and onions.

So,Ra, I hope you had a great weekend, and if you can make sense of these I would be very amazed!

Hopeful, it seems that you are remembering as much as any of us now! That was fast!

#1 - You are in need of rest, a reprieve from everyday activities (Club Med). There is some aspect of self not usually exposed (underwear) which is beginning to gain expression/recognition - possibly connected with feelings of inadequacy or some problem with self image. There is some life situation in which you feel "stuck", this unconsciously due to the self image/inadequacy problem.

Before you move on, you will realize that your old persona must be stripped, exposed to your own conscious recognition. A new aspect of your persona (naked) is to begin. You are not sure how to proceed in this new, exposed state. You are uncertain how to "clothe" yourself for this new (naked) path of realization (HIGHway). Pressing on, you will find that regardless of the facade you present, regardless of where you go or what you do, the same old patterns will emerge (guys in line) until you deal with them. You may get assistance making your way, but ultimately have to do it by yourself (own room). It seems that the help you need must come from the masculine forces - because this is what you lack - or this is what is out of control. There is a very basic need within you to feel complete. You need to merge with your masculine side - and you probably over compensate for this in waking life by over-controlling, over-doing, or by over-emphasis of sexual forces. Your need for completion is great (guy is surprised) but remains unacknowledged (brushed him away). It seems that exposure to your other side (the guy) makes you "run for cover", although, at least subconsciously, you are willing to try out this new knowledge that is slipping into your consciousness (silver slide). The slide also has sexual connotations.

#2 - As you tour/journey the unknown aspects of self (foreign country), which is currently being guided by a sort of group activity (bus) (would that b - us? ), you will find that the boundaries of the foundations of your psyche/psychology (4) are immature (children) and will need growth (eat). Perhaps you are hoping for quick development (McDonald's - fast food).

#3 - Perhaps there is a need for rest (park). Perhaps this rest, however brief, will lead you to a lesson (speech) through which you will learn (library) something of your subconscious (basement) which is beginning to "open".

You are presented with choices (cafeteria) involving the same, old conflicts and energies as before (guy from couch). But you do not understand (and perhaps find unpleasant) what you are seeing (cocktails with frog heads) in your personal unconscious (library), so you choose something more familiar (soda), like an old habit. Yet you continue your quest for knowledge (food), and you continue in your old ways. Perhaps you are impatient for the "food" or perhaps you are simply thinking that you are speeding things up - being more efficient - but you over-reach (reached over) your place. Perhaps in life you are too over-bearing, over-reaching (perhaps inadvertently violating someone's space), over-controlling - and perhaps there is a problem in communicating with those around you. You seem to be misunderstood, but it is only because you are thinking of self - without realizing it - and not about consideration for others. If more consideration to this is not given, you may end up alone (no one in line).

Hopeful, this is apparently going to be a difficult lesson for you, because there are things you simply do not want to see. But because of your quest for understanding, these things will continue to appear, and perhaps you will eventually understand yourself a little better.

I hope some of this makes sense!

Ra -

There was so much in your words that "spoke" to me I had to print it out and ended up highlighting almost the whole thing! I had a couple of questions:

re#1 - I can definitely be controlling and am an overachiever/overdoer. I'm trying to be a kinder, gentler me through meditation and awareness, but I know if I'm tired or stressed it's easy to slip to the old habit of "me, me, me" and "how can I control this situation to make it work for me." See how right you were?! My question is what exactly is the "masculine side?" I feel that on a subconscious level I need to develop my feminine side, and that my masculine side is far too outspoken in my conscious life which has caused me problems. It's true that "exposing myself" makes me want to run for cover. When the Sag was clearly in "pursuit" mode a couple of weeks ago - I panicked! As a result of my mixed signals, I think, he was then temporarily taken away from me - perhaps so I could recognize the lesson there. I am so trying to work on patience, compassion and responsiblity. So, I'm not surprised there are issues with "merging." However, whatever you can reveal about the masculine would be helpful.

#2 - "quick development" - yes that is me! I always want things NOW! I am trying to accept that things happen in their own time and . . . I'm struggling but getting there I think.

#3 - I'm heading on a mini-vacation next week! What I wanted to ask about this one, is when I reached over the woman (who by the way was a heavy woman), I knew I was annoying her and I felt a little guilty, but despite those feelings I pushed in anyway. It seems I am struggling with surrendering to controlling "when" things happen (moreso than "how"). Are my dreams a place where I can find guidance to overcome these patience/control issues? I am NOT going to be alone! That's why I've started down this path and, I think my intuitive side has always been there which is why it's coming out fairly quickly to help me(although, probably not quick enough for me! ).

GREAT JOB RA!!!

Yes, Hopeful. Guidance can be found in your dreams. And it is being given!

Keep listening to your intuition!

Ra -

Still wondering what the masculine part is I need to work on?? Here are a few more when you get a chance. By the way, if I only remember a frag, is there always more that I'm not re-membering?

last night:

#1 - I was sleeping in my bed (my new bed which in real life will arrive in 3 weeks) and the thought "fear the Horned One" popped in my head. I was a little frightened. (Ra - I had to dig deep, but I think this may have been the old me trying to scare me off of my current path. Possible?)

#2 - I saw a tiny black spider in my home, and knew there were probably more

earlier night:

#3 - Saw the Sag with a burn scar on the side of his face in front of his ear

#4 - two guys with a dog drive into my backyard (not my real backyard). I lock the door and talk to them through the screen - they want to come in - I say no and give them a hard time - later, someone knocks at front door - the 2 guys are now in my house and they go to let the person in at the front - it is a couple that wants to go swimming - there is talk about the traffic and about possibly swimming at night - then, there is a tree blocking the hallway - I try to turn it, but it has 2 trunks and now the other is sticking out and blocking the hall

If you need any background from me to help with these, let me know!

Thanks,
Hopeful

Hopeful - The masculine side is what you are working on consciously. Yours is out of balance. You exhibit the negative aspects of this energy - over-ontrol, over-achieving, over-reaching, over-doing. It is not that you are lacking connection with this side, rather you manifest its characteristics negatively.

Your intuition could serve as the tool to bring back balance.

The tiny black spiders in your recent dream suggest the seeds of feminine power beginning to emerge from your unconscious.

And you must be right about the first one. The "Horned One" is probably yourself, the negative aspects of the duality that is battling within you.

I will think about the others some more.

Hopeful - I keep forgetting to answer your questions.

Mome fragments tend to contain most of the message represented by the entire dream, or at least some important aspect of it. Some fragments are not fragments at all. Many people tend to only remember only enough to spell out a couple of sentences, so it seems that it must be a fragment of something larger, and perhaps it is. But more often than not, these dreams are condensed symbologies created by the subconscious so that they may be remembered more readily. There tends to be less extraneous material. They also tend to be "easier" to interpret - because they are to the point.

Your dreams tend to be like this, so far.

#3 - The Sag image, with the burn, I am not sure about. It has something to do with past emotional injury (scar) perhaps related to his facade (face) and possibly communication (ear). It would seem that this is related to the relationship between you, but I am not certain of the nature of the scar, how was is formed? The image says that "he got burned."

#4 - This represents your current struggle to control and resist the masculine aspects of self (lock out the two guys), but the subconscious is tricky (backyard/backdoor). However, doing so allows the dualistic self - both your halves (couple) - to at least approach your psyche (house). This duality of self, or the two aspects being together (couple) has an effect on you. You seem to be uncomfortable with it, as has been suggested in previous dreams - you simply do not ackowledge it. So the old you, or old habits of yours (two guys), respond to it (let couple in). That which you seek to control is leading to the recognition of your integrated self.

Your integrated self (couple) wants to stir up things sub/unconscious so that you may heal (swimming). But the journey will not be swift or easy (traffic) and you may have to do much of the "work" in the subconscious realms (swimming at night), perhaps to alleviate associated stresses of doing it completely consciously. Or perhaps the material is of such an unconscious nature (night) that you may have to first do subconscious work (swimming) to bring it into consciousness.

Your path (hallway) is blocked by yourself (tree) and the duality that you are struggling with (two trunks). As you deal with one aspect (male), the other becomes the block (female). You move from one exteme to the other, and must find a balance between them before you can continue.

It seems there is a progression happening in your dreams, and I would not be surprised to see more feminine symbols occurring in future dreams. (such as the spider suggests)

Thank you for sharing your dreams!

Ra -

The Sag did get burned in his last relationship (and I believe this is the person he is with at present. I still feel this is a temporary thing.)

Your interpretations are so helpful. Your insights helps me to understand that things are happening for me but it also points out what I need to work on.

Here is one from over the weekend - the only one I remember that is really worth any mention:

I am sleeping in my current bed, and I look up to see a man floating horizontally about 6-7 feet above the foot of my bed. I do not recognize him, and he is wearing dark pants, a dark shirt and is thin with dark hair. This dream startles/scares me enough that I jump up turn on the light (no longer dreaming now) and am awake and . . alone.

Let me know what you think!

I had a dream about ANOTHER man! This one was very old - the equivelant of a "wise woman." I could only see his face, but it was full and pale with lots and lots of wrinkles, and he had white hair. He seemed kind, and it seemed as though he wanted to tell me something.

Men dreams! Not you!

The first dream indicates the reception of unconscious material (sleeping in bed). An unknown, unconscious masculine aspect of self ("dark" man) seems to be "hovering" about your subconscious self (imagine that! ), perhaps in the beginning stages of becoming conscious (foot of bed).

In the second dream, I find it interesting that you liken this very old man to a "wise woman." Why not a "wise man"? Perhaps you are not used to perceiving a man with feminine energy/qualities? In any case, this old man/"wise woman" is the epitome of matured, balanced energies. I am glad to see him appear to you because this is precisely what you are moving towards. This old man is presenting himself to your consciousness so that you may become aware of what balanced energy is. He is a future possibility of you (symbolically) and it seems he has been "sent" to assist you. Wonderful!

I want to thank you for sharing your dream experiences over the past month. I am learning much from watching your personal dream symbology unfold. It really is invaluable. Thanks!

Walk in Peace

It is really you who deserves the thanks! Your insight is very reassuring. I was a little spooked by that "floating man," but what you said makes sense. Also, I am encouraged by the fact that you think I am progressing. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Here is a new dream for you. This one actually happened a couple of weeks ago, but I remembered it again yesterday and thought I would pass it along. It is about the Sag.

I dreamed he was helping me select paint for my home. Then, we were sitting on a couch (another couch!) and his mother was in the room, and I casually draped my leg over his knee.

By the way, I bought a dream dictionary and I read some of the serpent threads, and I see what you mean about how involved that dream was! I still don't have a clear idea of the meaning behind the one and the two, but I think the bottom line is my efforts to become more attuned are doing something . . .and it definitely feels right and good! Thanks again!

Right and good, yes.


This little fragment could be seen a couple of different ways. I would be very interested to hear what your feelings on it are! Actually, I think that would help me determine more about it.

Try it. Use your dictionary (great idea, btw!) and look up anything you think is of importance. Notice if there are any similarities between the meanings of the symbols. If you have a good dream book, some of these things will resonate with you. See what happens.

A couple of questions: was paint for interior or exterior? Do you recall any colors? - or emotions? What were your feelings, in the dream, about your Sag's mother?

Tomorrow!

Hi Ra -

The paint was for the interior. I felt like we were doing things as a "team." I felt like we were a committed couple. When his mother was there, I was feeling possessive. This could stem from my last relationship where I know that guy's mother influenced him to end our relationship last year.

I'm actually visiting my brother for a few days and don't have my dream book. ARGH! BTW, last weekend, I had a bit of a premonition dream! I was going to take a riding lesson and had forgotten to bring a check for payment. In the morning when I woke up, I remembered the dream and thought about writing the check. When I got out to my lesson, I realized I had forgotten to write the check and hadn't brought my checkbook. The dream came true!

I had a long, somewhat bizarre dream last night:

I was in a small room in a large house, and the lights were dimmed, there were candles and incense. There were a couple of us (young women) sitting around something - possibly an altar. My high school friend's mother was there (this woman is very independent, strong and caring in real life), and she was going around to each of us one by one and putting her hands on us to feel heat in certain areas - seemed to be around the chest and stomach area. She was checking to see what needed to be healed so we could find love. She placed one hand on one of the girl's breasts, and I was wondering what that would feel like. I wanted her to place her hands on me and "heal" me, but I was concerned/anxious that she wouldn't be able to.

Next, I was in another small room in this same house, and the lights were dimmed, and there was an older woman I didn't know decorating a small Christmas tree with blue colored trimmings (I knew what they were in the dream but I can't remember now). I felt like I should help her, but then I felt a stronger urge to return to the first room and I was running very fast down a long hallway, which was littered with some of the tree trimmmings, to get back to that other room.

Next, I'm in a station wagon with my mother (not my real life mother) and I am now a young man in the front seat. The mother is troubled - depressed or upset or something - and she swerves at something and I (the boy) hit my head on the window and black out. The mother puts the boy in the backseat. Now, I am a girl in the front seat (not related to the boy or the mother, but I feel like I'm there to take care of the boy), and I reach back to lean the boy so he is laying down on the back seat and I think that way he will survive the accident. The mother starts driving very badly and suddenly we are flying off the highway, through the air - the car is flipping and the mother says "this is it - it's all over." The car lands hood side down, and I am the boy now, and conscious but not afraid and know I won't feel any pain. Everything goes black.

I wake up and I'm the girl from the first part again, and I'm back in the house but it is my Uncle's house and he has raised me. I'm picking out a dress for my wedding.

So, Ra, let me know what you make of all that! That is certainly one of the more involved dreams I've had in a while.

Hopeful - the relationship with the Sag is/was/will(?) help you change your mind - or help you choose (select) an appropriate vibration/energy (color) for this change.

The change is seated (couch) in relationships (you and he) and feelings/concerns you have (possessive) in them.

Why do you feel possessive? If the relationship is true, there is no need for possessiveness. Insecurity, unworthiness, fear of loss (but why?), these are some possible underlying causes, see what I mean?

What do you think?

Now, your other dream, WOW! It was just about a week ago I think I said something about not being surprised to see some feminine symbols begin to appear. Well, here they are! This dream is just full of femininity, and it feels rather magical!

I would like to really look at this one closely, and I will have to wait until I have sufficient time - so it may be monday or tuesday .

Thanks for your patience!

Ra -

I think I feel insecure about the Sag when I think about him in the "old way" i.e. less intuitive, rational way. When I "feel" then I "know" our relationship is going to come together. There are too many synchronicities, dreams, lexigrams, etc. for it to be any other way. Perhaps this is part of the masc. v. fem dual I am having? I do feel that part of the reason it hasn't come together yet is because I am on this path of tapping my more spiratual, intuitive self which is coming together quickly because I have much to learn before he comes charging full force. That's my sense anyway.

Take your time on that long dream. It seems very involved! I wanted to post it while it was fresh in my mind. I'll be back home Sunday and can look in my dream book a bit. I am really enjoying learning about dreams from you, and I think it is helping me to remember them and let them flow. It is also encouraging me to continue down this path to my Higher s-ELF. Thanks again and again!

Hopeful - I have not forgotten about you!

I have only figured out part of it so far. The beginning is relatively self explanatory, but the next few scenes I am having trouble correlating, or rather verbalizing what I do see. It will come together eventually.

I do not have much time, but I will give you what I know for sure. The first scene, the small, dimly lit room, symbolizes the process of transformation/healing which is beginning to be recognized (candles/incence). It is a beautiful scene, full of feminine energies (for a change!), and the message is not at all obscured by enigmatic symbols, only bolstered by them. It has a certain feeling of the astral, perhaps your constructed memory of some healing being done via that plane. The message is clear, as you stated: "checking to see what needed to be healed so we could find love." And your concern/anxiousness about not being able to be healed suggests that you are subconsciously aware of some block to "finding love."

It may mean nothing, but looking at the "blue" emphasis in the next scene seems to emphasize the implied red of the first scene - flame, heat, love, chest(heart), certain sexual influences, as well as the fact that red is a color of transformation, which the scene is about. But what is blue symbolizing?

What shade of blue was it?
What feeling did you have about the Christmas tree?
What feeling did you have about the older woman? How old was she?

The last scene - did your uncle raise you, really? How do you feel about him?

Do you have any feelings about any of these symbols?

I apologize for all the questions!

Ra -

No problem with the questions! I'm just so grateful you are here to help!!! I copied them so I would answer them all:

What shade of blue was it? It was a deep blue.
What feeling did you have about the Christmas tree? It was a small tree on a stand next to a narrow rectangular table (like the kind that belongs behind a sofa). THe ornaments were on the table. The tree and the table were against the wall; the room was dim, but it was very peaceful. I remember thinking I should help the woman, but I felt that she didn't want/need my help. She would pick up an ornament and carefully place it on the tree - she smiled at me. I thought the tree was very soft and romantic - very welcoming.
What feeling did you have about the older woman? She was very kind, wise and very capable. How old was she? I would say approx 80.

The last scene - did your uncle raise you, really? In real life, my parents raised me, but I was the youngest of 4 and spent a lot of time with my brother who is 8 years older (he is the one I was visiting by the way). Perhaps it was him in the dream? How do you feel about him? I felt very loved and happy.

Do you have any feelings about any of these symbols? I've always thought of Christmas as "family" time, but in the last few years it has also made me a little sad as my dad died 4 years ago, and also because I am still "alone." The wedding dress made me feel very happy and loved (I have been yearning for my soulmate and am trying to think positively that it IS going to happen for me).

If you have any other questions, let me know. Your thoughts about the first room seem right on the mark to me.

Also, I had a frag I don't fully understand. Before I went to sleep a couple nights ago, I asked my Higher s-ELF for a communication with/about the Sag. All I remember is dreaming about amethyst. I think possibly I was supposed to use it? Does that mean anything?

Thank you for the information, it helps a great deal.

So here is the rest:

The next scene, with the Christmas tree, is not formulating very well in my mind, but I feel this has to do with a certain energy you need (blue). I feel that the old woman is a future aspect of self, or an aspect of higher self, one representing the matured, feminine energy/aspect of self. I feel that "she" is giving you (tree) energies that she represents, a little bit at a time - wisdom, clear thought, calmness/depth. But blue has other possible meanings as well, some of which could also apply here. This "deep blue" could also represent consciousness - perhaps she is presenting little bits into or from your sub/unconsciousness. "Deep blue" could represent emotions, cold or deep ones - perhaps she is placing upon you emotional material which is seeping into your awareness from your sub/unconscious. Whichever of these is represented, the exposure to the "blue" vibration causes you to seek again the "red" vibrations of the first room. It occurs to me that a balance between the two, or a blending of the two - red and blue - creates purple. Amethyst.

So, to answer your last dream, I would say ... yes - the amethyst means something. I have always associated amethyst with things spiritual and intuitive. Perhaps you should keep a bit of it around you for a while, some place you will see it often. Perhaps it can help you blend the "red and blue" forces at work in you.

Whereas the "blue" scene has a future feel to it, this next scene has a feeling of the past.

The mother here could represent the collective unconscious, which at this time is influencing your life path (station wagon) by bringing into awareness unconscious material/energy. The "troubled" aspect of this unconscious material could be rooted in an undeveloped, immature, masculine aspect of self (you-as-young-man), an aspect which was pushed into the unconscious (blackout/window/mother put boy in back seat) at some young age - possibly due to the relationship with your mother.

It is suggested that when this part of you became suppressed, another part of you took over (girl in front seat). Were you helping the boy to survive the window accident or the accident that was about to happen? Whatever the case, your actions seem to avert possible suffering of this boy (no pain). It could be that by recognizing the unconscious aspect of self represented by the boy, and by attempting to help it/him, you may re-awaken this part of you so that the energy associated with it's suppression may be released and healed.

In the last scene we have your Uncle's house, which you later equate with your brother - the same type of energy/feelings - which strongly suggests that he (uncle) represents the matured masculine aspect of your future/higher self. It is interesting that we have changed from a scene with a boy to a scene implying a man - no doubt a reference to the transformation of this masculine aspect. It seems that "going back in time" to assist the undeveloped aspect leads to the future realization of the mature aspect, and thus the merging of your two halves (wedding).

I must say that this whole "dream" has a very peculiar feel to it, the feel of guidance. It is the same type of feeling one gets when being guided while out-of-body, in the astral. And the dream itself has a quirky kind of "signature" that can be found with OBEs. It is almost like the "Scrooge" when he is being dragged around by different "ghosts." The dream takes you from one vibration to another (red to blue), from present ("red" room) to future ("blue" room) to past (car) and then back to present/future (uncle's house/wedding) - a definate pattern with the purpose of balancing energies and healing.

How is that?

Ra -

I think your interpretation is pure magick!

I have to tell you, I went to this Ashakic Records reader last night, and she told me that my purpose in this life is to perfect marriage and relationships - that all other aspects of myself have been explored! She said things are happening for me quickly right now because I am re-membering. The Records told her I was an Oracle Priestess!! Not only that, the Sag was there at the same time as most likely a philosopher but possibly a priest.

So, thought I would pass that along as it seems to play into what we've been seeing in my dreams. BTW, i wrote more about the Records analysis in my lexi thread "Another Dream Phrase" if you are interested.

I'll let you know when another dream surfaces! I also wonder about being guided as you said. There are parts of that dream that did feel surreal to me - astral - the first room and running in the hallway.

Thank you!

Hello Ra -

I haven't been remembering very many of my dreams lately. Do you think there is a reason?

Here's a couple of frags:

1. I was in a SUV with a guy driving (I don't know who he is in real life) and we had to get gas and there was a huge line but I felt relaxed about waiting.

2. Last night, I know this dream was very long but I only remember that I was in another large house again (a different house than the other one) with many rooms and people - but I haven't quite been able to grasp what we were doing.

3. I was at my brother's house and he had a pet chipmunk which was free to roam the house.
