i try not to relate my bad dreams, as Linda states in Gooberz that you shouldn't do, but perhaps a sliver won't hurt, as i'd really like some input here (hence, the appeal of the general question about water in dreams).

i dreamt that i was crippled from an accident and living on a ship, in the hospital wing. my father came to visit me; i was very excited and happy to see him. i was eager for him to experience the scenery outside from the vantage point of the moving ship.

next thing i knew, we were underwater and i thought we had simply fallen off the ship. i wasn't worried because i knew surfacing would be easy, especially if we didn't struggle or panic. but as i was heading toward the surface, i kept being turned around, and pulled deeper. still, i didn't panic, knowing we would make it eventually.

i then realized that it was my father who was turning me around and pulling me deeper, and then i started to panic! i was torn between being more distraught about actually drowning and struggling for air, and being in complete shock that my father was trying to drown me, and more importantly, wondering why in the world he was doing it, especially as i had been so utterly happy to see him....

i remember clearly thinking that i had no time or opportunity to consider my father's reason for this, only that i must focus completely on not panicking and what i was going to do.

then i awoke gasping for air and heart racing. and very scared.

moondreamer....i didn't mean to supersede your question...just thought water and drowning might be appropriate here.

Tomorrow I should have time to type out a couple of thoughts on this. Interesting dream.

I didn't know Linda said that about bad dreams. I wonder why she did?

the following is a conversation between Heathcliffe and Linda (Heathcliffe's words in bold):

quote:

---

"...the difference between Night Mare dreams of un-reality
seeded by the subtle and sinister Unicorn
with its phallic symbol horn of the deceptive Uni-sex
and the singing dreams of inspiration and true prophecy
borne to the Soul upon the wings of Pegesus

falsely spelled as Pegasus

may always be detected quite simply, you see
by the negative quality of the former
and the joyful positive quality of the latter"

"then people should neither fear -- nor repeat to others
their 'bad dreams' -- ever
for these are not actually or truly shadows of events to come?"

"only if they insist upon clinging to them
concentrating upon them -- and telling them to others
then they will surely come true
for, that which one fears -- and believes
whether good or evil, false or true
will absolutely manifest -- in Time

if one fears, therefore believes in -- a bad dream
one will set into tragic eternal motion
all of its dark shadows...like the repeated
and ever larger circles in a quiet stream
as has already been stated

and the false reality of such thought forms, then
will eventually grow into giants of actuality
within the material world of matter
this clearly demonstrated by the Unicorn
whose mystery Earthlings remain unable to fathom

for the Unicorn is a powerful force for deception
in that dark world of sleep...called the nether regions..."

That makes sense in context. If one dwells upon a bad dream, that is one thing. But if one is looking to expose the cause of it, and thus release it, that is another. Just my opinion.

As for your dream, these are my thoughts ...

This dream seems to suggest that you feel disabled in some way (crippled), perhaps a loss of power/ability or even low self-esteem. It is suggested that you are fairly accustomed to living your life this way, and that you live this way unconsciously. You have a need for healing, for care of some sort (hospital) as you travel this path through unknown/unconscious realms (ship) - either that or you are in denial of it. I would speculate that you are only vaguely aware that you even need help/healing/care.

Then you are underwater ... this part of the dream reiterates the idea that you are not, or were not, aware that there exists a problem, and that you are certainly not, or were not, aware of the cause (not worried about being under water). The "problem" manifests in your life as anxiety of some kind (drowning). Although you may not be consciously aware of the cause of your underlying anxiety, your subconscious self is not so subtley hinting that your father is at the root. It seems that you love your father but that you are not aware that he is the source of your anxiety. There is the possibility that your father symbolizes some other authority figure.

Does any of this ring of truth?

thank you very much for that explanation....i never would have thought some of those things!

i will have to ponder this a little more deeply and let you know what occurs to me.

(Heathcliffe speaking)

quote:

---

...the hidden purpose of the Unicorn will ever be
that which Set has so decreed
...to drug the feminine Soul with flowers
and gentle mystery
so that the feminine Third Eye awakens not
in either sex -- but remains asleep in both men and women

how strange that the present feminine Individuality
gives so little serious thought to those subtle messages
when it is the Unicorn who keeps locked
that very door to her own S-Elf's karmic memory
of the true design of this creature..
which is to continually discourage her from seeking
the path which will lead her into the Light
to take her rightful place beside her Twin 'O' S-elf
that they may, together, recover their lost POwers
as god and goddess

Yes, please do let me know what you feel.

posted April 12, 2004 11:32 AM         

yes...i'm intrigued by what you say about drowning -- that it symbolises anxiety. that sounds accurate for my current disposition.

i have a deep connrction with my pop. we've always felt it; it's very palpable...sometimes so much so that it's painful, or at least very tender. i think we have a classic '4 and 8' relationship (Lindas's numerology speaking). we have a lot of understanding for each other, but very different outlooks....which makes for a lot of unfulfilled expectations.

he's been angry with me for the last few years, but subtly so, so i don't really know why. we've never been big on the verbal communication. subconscious motifs flow strong between us. but while he says otherwise, he wants to have nothing to do with my son (2 in August). he spends lots of time with his other grandchildren. so this kind of hurts my heart. he doesn't respond to my emails or return my calls. and he finds ways to communicate subtle insults.

and well, i guess i haven't wanted to acknowledge these things until your response to my dream. he's never behaved this way before. and i'm not just a kid...i just turned 37 . i don't know how i've managed to so displease him.

but oh well....it's taken this lifetime to separate my life from his and become my own individual. so i respect his distance and am ok with it. he has great strength and kindness too, with which he has always been generous.

as for the need for healing, you are right, it's at a very primal level in my soul and body. i'm aware of it spiritually, but it eludes me physically, and i know i have much to learn in this area. i visited a healer with training in ethereal and chakra healing and she 'felt' a large amount of 'debris' in my lower chakras. she cleared a lot of it, but she said it reached all the way back to my infancy and perhaps even before and that i had much healing work to do there.

recently, the way of shaman healing manifests in most of my reading and consciousness. i would like to explore this both as healer and one who would be healed.

to continue, that my father might be representative of an authority figure in general, as you stated, i believe is accurate as well. i think this struggle to understand and reconcile the balance between the male and female, or the 'i' and the 'o', according to Linda, is a big theme in my life. and the difficulty, as well as the great amount of feeling, inherent in my paternal relationship is manifesting in other relationships i have and have had.

lately, i've seen with a new vision, the nature of our paternal society, and how there's much healing and balance needed here and now. our souls reflect this also. Linda's vision and light in this area really opened me up to this reality, and how love really is the key here. she taught me so much!

as have you, dear Ra, and i thank you again for all your kindness, insight and genuine care.

the thing that i remain unsure about is the waking up and feeling as though i were drowning -- literally....that's never happened, as real, lucid and multi-colored as my dreams are. kinda scarey.

well, all this is really in my thoughts; i hope i'm not dwelling on it too much!

This could be connected with a past-life. In my own experience, waking with this sort of carry-over feeling from this sort of dream sometimes indicates the presence of past-life energies. Perhaps you left a past life in this way - drowning - and perhaps your father was involved.

I am glad you found some truth in my interpretation. Thank you very much for the feedback.

I wish I could take all the credit.

Thank you.

and talaith, please pursue your interest in this type of healing. my "issues" go back to a past life as well, but it seems unless one has a bundle of money, one cannot get this healing. anyone know of a site that offers free do-it-yourself lessons??
