Okay, I just had to share this. I have been having some amazing dreams for the past 10 days. It's like these motion pictures just playing all night long, but I know that they are telling me something.

In one of my dreams last night my deceased grandmother was in it. I was looking at a new house, one story, with many rooms. For some reason it was my new house, but it was still decorated like a model home. EVERY ROOM had a fireplace and some rooms had between 2-4 fire places. My brother was next door staying with my mom in a hotel while I was preparing my rooms.

The house was decorated in dark tones, which I like, but it seems a bit dusty. I had a bird cage, with no bird, somehow I knew it had once been a parrot, but it was gone. The rooms seemed to flow from one to another with bathrooms in between, but one could get lost rather easily. When I went to my master bedroom I couldn't believe the size. My bed was even bigger than a King bed and was ornate in decoration with rich blood red blankets and thick soft pillows. The frame was finely carved dark mahogany. The room held two large fireplaces, one was almost 4 feet high and 4 feet wide. Down the hall was many closets, but also two little twin beds. I wondered why they were there, but figured it must have been for the kids (but I had none).

Then I found the back room. That room has plush sofas and FOUR fireplaces. The room was warm but one fire place just smoldered. I reached across and touched the charcoal, thinking, this must be so old to still be burning charcoal for heating.

Then I heard a familiar voice. It said "Ahhhh, I was hoping you would find this place". I turned and it was my grandmother (my mom's mom) she used to live with us until she died 12/27/01. She had her hair pulled back in a bun, which I never saw her wear, but it was her. She pulled out a calendar. It was for the month of November and all the days were crossed off in red, except November 22nd.

She pointed with a pencil to that date. I said what is with that date? What does it mean? She smiled and said "It will be an important date for all".

Then the phone rang.

Why does that keep happening? Ra, can you explain that? What is the probability of someone calling twice in the am to wake me up from a dream. Both times it was before 8am and both times it was from an "unknown" caller that won't leave a message. My number is not listed or published and very few people have it. I know it wasn't my family from out West, because it would have been around 4:30 am their time.

I am due to fly out West on November 20 to the 28th for Thanksgiving. I wonder if that has something to do with it?

Any advice?

... this is post number 1122 for you.

THAT is strange!

I am not sure what to think at the moment. I know that fireplaces are often symbolically associated with family - the hearth/heart of a home, and I do think that this dream has to do with your family, but what about? And is this message confined to just your family? With your dreams, I am not certain!!

I will definately be giving this some thought.

I can answer one of your questions ...

It is a "wake up call" from the other side. For you, it indicates a communication from Spirit. ... but you already know that.

I would not at all be surprised to find this happening once more before the 22nd ... please share if it does!

I feel that this dream is connected with, or emanates from, your Ancestors. Do you have this feeling? I believe this is the meaning of your grandmother, whether it was actually her or not, and regardless of whether or not she was Native American.

About the parrot, what do you feel happened to it?

How do you feel overall about this dream?

I have been thinking so much about this dream and the other. I am not sure what happened to the parrot, I think it was let free though. See, I have always been against caging wild birds. They belong in their habitat. Maybe I am feeling caged where I am and my subconcious is really telling me it is time to move on back out West.

I do think it is my family / ancestors talking to me. I had once gone into a shop in Florida where the lady just started to talk to me about my grandmother. It was a Astro / Occult shop and I hadn't said anything to her. She said there would be a time when my Karma was paid off out here, to my Ex and that it was time to move on. Loose ends needed to be tied up, but I would be making my way west. She had pointed to locations on the table (which was weird) her right index finger pointed to the Northeast (where I am now) and her left index finger pointed to the Northwest, where I can see myself going.

Now, I have always wanted to open up a bookstore / craft shop where I can make American Indian shields that are personalized for people's events, etc.. along with pouches. My mother is a hair dresser and is looking to open a small one chaired salon. We talked about merging them into one store, with a little coffee place. I would be able to feature arts and crafts from local artists as well as my own. I will also be able to run my consulting business for the agriculture market with a partner of mine.

The place I would like to do this is in Northern Idaho. I feel so connected to that region (along with Arizona). My brother lives out there with his wife and my 11 month old nephew (the other weird thing Ra, is that I keep dreaming about my Nephew, like I have a psychic connection to him. When we first met he was only 8 months old, but I swear we could communicate and he just gravitated to me).

The only thing I hated about the dream was when it was over. I wanted so much to keep talking to my grandma, but she had to go. The interior was also decorated in the same way and another dream I had a year ago about my grandma. She was at a corner table, that was made of beautiful polished wood. She slapped the table (like she always did) gave her famous wink and shrug and said "Now Sugar, you tell your mom to stop worrying about me. I am having the time of my life and I will see you all again someday." Then she turned and walked away.

I have had other dreams since then, but nothing along the magnitude of the tribal dream and this one.

I will say though. I had a dream about the old neighborhood in Laguna Hills. It was the same house where I had the dream of the horse that turned into a man and showed me the TV with Gray Davis.

This time I was on the horse, but riding side saddle with a long skirt. I went past the houses and pointed them out to my companion. The neighborhood was different, scary now and falling a part. I must be feeling a major connection to California for some reason other than being born and raised their.

I will keep you updated.

I have a few thoughts and will get back when I have time to type them.

As far as the beginning of this dream goes, it could be very much as you have said ... a new lifestyle (new house) based upon unconscious urges (bathrooms all over) to reconnect with ancestral, or family oriented energies (fireplaces everywhere, house is actually "so old").

The master bedroom is large and emphasized as a reflection of your "large" connection with sub/unconscious energies, especially as they manifest through your dreams.

The connection with personal sub/unconscious levels that you have (master bedroom) can lead you (hall) into a connection with a deeper level of unconscious awareness (back room) where Spirit speaks to you (grandmother), for whatever reason.

So, the question is, why is 11/22 "an important date for all"?

I am not able to see an answer to that. I suppose we shall have to wait and see.

Have you ever tried to clarify a dream with another dream?

posted November 17, 2003 12:39 PM         

It's weird, but I did have another dream. This time I had picked up the phone, but it didn't ring. On the other end was my grandmother (the same one in the 11/22 dream).

She said something along the lines that she knew the phone hadn't rang, but still wanted to talk to me. She said she had been trying to get ahold of me for some time. She called me "sugar" which has always been her nickname for me. She told me not to forget to bring something (I can't remember what it was) for my mom. Then she said she loved me and goodbye.

As it turns out, my plans changed from me going to see my paternal grandmother on Monday the 24th to Saturday the 22nd. Then I will be back at my mothers until the 28th of Nov. This will be the first Thanksgiving I have spent with my mom (my grandma used to live there too) since 1997. It was also one of my grandmothers favorite Holidays.

The rooms ...there were several rooms....could be significant of the actual issues themselves...in each "room" in your mind you've put these thoughts away and your mind is now calling you to investigate these "rooms"/issues....they also have a fireplace in each room...hmmm...well, maybe in these rooms, lies a fireplace which indicates the burning or smoldering desires of these unfinished things...

Now...notice as well...the date on the calendar was 11/22...this date was shown to you by your grandmother, who you obviously loved/love very much...and then, you mention your nephew who is 11 months old and you feel a deep connection with him...

Now, throught the grandmother you had an ending, due to her death, but you have a beginning with your baby nephew...and when you do the math, 1+1=2...= you and your nephew....not too sure about the 22...but I've found in some dreams where I had about phone numbers, they ended up being dates rather than a phone number...so I wonder if it's possible that the "date" you were seeing was actually something else? Like his age? Or signifying the 2 of you together...

I would like to also think that this is a very blessed message from your grandmother, and maybe it's time for you to consider to move closer to your nephew, because maybe it is your "duty" to assist him in his own spiritual journey...

Thanks for the response and you make a lot of sense.

I am in the process of tying up loose ends out East so that I can move back out West. My Nephew lives in Northern Idaho and my bf, Mr. Leo as I call him, lives in Southern Idaho. I am hoping to have everything tied up within the next 6-9 months so that I can move sometimes in June.

I do feel a close connection to my Nephew. The funny thing is his actual birthdate was supposed to be 11/22/02, but his mother did NOT want him to be a Saggie like his father and I. So she scheduled the C-section for Tuesday rather than Friday of last year.

I has asked my mom about the date and at first she said it didn't ring a bell, but then said 'Hey wait that was when G was supposed to have the C-section for Lance". LOL

He would have been a little Saggie with a Cancer moon. Today he is still the most special little guy, 11/19/02, Scorpio Sun and Taurus moon. He also has an Aries rising (I have an Aries moon).

My grandmother never had the chance to meet him, but I know she would have been gaga over him. I do feel that I need to be near him to help him with whatever he needs. My brother is a great father but my sis-in-law does not like being a mom and has always hated kids. (She's a Scorp with an Aqua moon and has major control issues).

At any rate, the kid is real powerhouse and has inherited our stubborness, which is kind of funny in an onery way. I will be going out to visit my bros family in late December, so that will be a blast.

When I go home for Thanksgiving I do have to take care of some issues. My mother has not changed my grandmothers room at all nor has she made an attempt to go through grannies paperwork. I think there is something I am supposed to find.

I had a feeling you might have one more ... Strong psychic communication is suggested by this last dream, especially since you picked up without the phone ringing. If only we knew what she is trying to communicate! I suppose time will tell ...

Keep us posted!

Just out of curiousity, let me know?!

Far more amazing is your predictive dream. We never did quite understand what your grandmother was trying to tell you, so now we know! I cannot wait to go back through the dream and see if, or more likely what, we missed that could have foretold this event.

Very, very cool.

You have a wonderful connection, Shawnee, a wonderful gift.

Oh, and Congratulations!

I have been having dreams off and on, but nothing concrete. More like dreams of things being destroyed. Like around where I live- a car exploding or people going into a panic, but the visions are not yet tangible.

You are right though about the dreams coming in cycles. At times, I do feel like I am being pulled to dream, if that makes sense?
