Last night: I was in a house on a vast, flat and empty plain. For miles and miles nothing could be seen except the dry land. No trees, roads or other houses in sight. I was way out in the middle of nowhere. I was in a house with a couple of other people that I dont know in waking life. The house was old fashioned and very cluttered with lots of shelving and all kinds of objects on the shelves. I suddenly noticed outside the window an enormous tornado far off in the distance headed our way. Within seconds it had traveled miles closer, it was very fast moving and we all were panicking. There was nowhere to run or hide and somehow I knew that if we left the house on foot to try to escape it would just follow us. I had a "knowing" that the tornado was after us and there was no escape. It was as if it was magnetized towards us or had it's eyes set on us. So now it is approching the house and is very close, there was nothing we could do except hold on tight. As it got closer I realized that if I concentrated hard enough I could direct it at least slightly so it wouldnt hit us head on. So I stared at it and with all my might tried to veer it off course. It worked but not fully. The house got caught up in the edge or outskirts of it and it took us up and started spinning us around and flipped the house upside down. Everything came crashing down, all the objects in the house were strewn about. Then suddenly it was gone and the house was back on land. We were all alive but shaken up. *fuzziness* Then I remember getting a clear message in my head that more tornadoes were on the way. I was crawling on the ground looking for some small unknown (now) object in the mess. And that's all I can remember.

Dream 2: It was nightime about 2:30am (for some reson I remember that) I was outside of a house that was familliar to me in the dream but not in waking life. I was on the front walkway talking to some people about how I had to get going, I had to go to school. Which doesnt make much sense because of what time it was and I thought the same thing to myself in the dream. But I knew I was running late and had to go. But instead I procrastinated and stayed outside talking to these people. The area in front of the house where we were was very lit up with the outside lights from the house. This was comforting in the dream because it was at night and the dream had an eerie energy to it. It was as if the eerie energy was coming from outside of the area I was standing in, in the brightly lit area. I eventually convinced myself in my head that I didnt really need to go to school. I didnt really want to anyway so I decided to skip out. This is the weird part. Next I remember something getting my attention in the woods behind me (dont know what it was now). It was pitch black in the woods from what I could see but something in them was tugging at my attention. Suddenly my vision sped off into the woods. I was still standing in the same spot but my vision had moved deep into the woods. What I saw was very odd. There were three structures close to each other in the thick woods. They all had the look to them that they were ancient and worn down, had been there for awhile. I had the feeling no one knew about them, it was like a different world. One was an enormous stone cross with Jesus' face carved into the top. But what was even more peculiar was at the bottom of the cross was another Jesus lying down on his front. The cross was coming up out of his back. It was a very large statue and there were 5 maybe 6 men on their knees praying around it. And the men were all Muslim looking with robes, turbans and beards. Off to the left there was a structure. This one was very futuristic looking but worn down. It was a building made of cement or stone that was constructed with a geometric like design. Sharp angles, long tall rectangular blocks and half domes. Large and small domes on it. There were no windows or doors on it. Off to the right was a pyramid. It looked like it had weathered many a storm and was a smaller version of the pyramids in Egypt. I had a creepy feeling as I was observing this but was also very intrigued. And like I said "I" wasnt "there", my body was still back in the front yard, but a different part of me seemed to be out in the woods observing this scene from a birds eye view. And I get the faint feeling that someone was watching with me but I'm not sure.

Next I remember being back in my body and the people I was talking to were gone. I get a really creepy vibe as if someone is staring at me. So I turn my head to the left, towards the street, and there is a man there, in the street on the other side of a barbed wire, waist high fence glaring at me. He's standing, hands by his side fully facing me (I have now turned and faced him), he is wearing a bright blue puffy winter jacket and I am getting very scary energy from his stare. He is far enough away where I can't make out his expression but I can definitely feel it and it's not nice. I realize that he can read my thoughts and is trying to scare me so now I get mad (although still a little scared) so I send him thoughts that it isnt working, he is not scaring me, to LEAVE NOW. I keep glaring at him and putting up a mental block to his negative energy that sends it back to him and after a few minutes, he turns and casually walks away. That's all I remember from that one.

Dream 3: This happened about a month ago I think but it was a very emotional and peculiar dream and I keep thinking about it. I was in a beautiful house that was decorated with pastel colors. I seemed to be waiting to find out something from someone in the dream that wasnt there yet. Next thing I remember was as if I had just won millions of dollars in the lottery. That was the feeling of it. This is going to be hard to explain. In the dream I looked down at my body to see that I had just been given a new one. It was made of clear, hard but easily movable plastic. It was hollow inside - I could see right through it. I had just been given it as a gift, I won it I think or earned it somehow. I was overjoyed by this. So much so it was almost too much to handle. I have never felt this happy in waking life. In the dream I started crying uncontrollably out of sheer joy and thanking everyone around me because it was them who played a part in giving it to me yet I somehow knew I had done or earned it myself. In the dream I guess my whole life I had only lived with a head and feet - no body. And I was saying this to people, how they dont know how much I appreciate this because all I've ever known myself as was a head without a body. I could not stop crying at the beauty of what was going on and kept looking down at my arms and legs. And although they were plastic it didnt seem to matter in the dream. It was perfect and what I always wanted. Now I would finally be free to do whatever I wanted. Then I am being dressed up by some people because I have to make some kind of debut on TV or something. Not quite sure but they were dressing me up as a bride and I also had a man beside me who had a familiar feeling to me in the dream but I dont think I looked at his face. He had an energy similar to one of my ex boyfriends but I dont think it was him. They were dressing him as the groom and although I didnt speak to him we were communicating somehow and I knew he was very happy for me in a humble way. He was going along with all of this for me but not because he didnt want to either. He was crying (silently) too because he was so happy for me and loved me so much.

Next I remember being in the middle of the living room and there were couches on both sides of me with three people on each couch. I was crying uncontrollably and trying to get the words out to them at how thankful I was. They just sat there with pleasant smiles on their faces and a few of them had tears in their eyes. They had a calmness and loving energy about them like angels would but they looked like normal people. Finally I fell to my knees, still sobbing and thanking them. I was so emotional that it actually woke me up! I started to open my eyes and realized that I was couldnt catch my breath, I was still choked up. And I though to myself, "OMG, I'm really crying." (I could feel the tears streaming down my cheeks) So I started wiping my hands on my face to wipe away the tears and much to my suprise there were no tears! Now I'm wide awake and I'm saying to myself, "But I can feel them. I can feel the tears streaming down my cheeks." I checked again and there were no tears. Slowly the feeling of the wet tears on my cheeks faded. But I really felt them there for a little while after I was awake. I dont think I could ever put into words the emotions of this dream and then the fact that it woke me up and I know I felt the actual tears still on my cheeks when I woke up..... It was amazing but I am still at a loss as to what it really means.

********************************************
OMG, I did not think this was going to be so long!! I just changed the title of the thread because I really didnt think it would end up this long. LOL I didnt realize I remembered so much.

Ra, I know you are busy so PLEASE dont feel like you have to get to this anytime soon - or at all. It's actually helped me just to type it out. I realized I remember more than I thought I did and some things are starting to make sense as I read it over.

But if anyone has any thoughts or comments that would be great. Particularly on the last dream.

I am not touching the next dream, except to say that all these are manifestations of inward change. Religious, philisophical, radical, sensory change. Good for you to recognize someone's negative energy and reject it. You are sending a powerful message to yourself, "I can handle it.. I might be scared or overwhelmed, but I am strong-like-bull.. "
The last dream seems so familiar to me.
I don't know if I confuse empathy with experience, or if you are a wonderful storyteller ( Yes, to both) But I really related to this last dream. It is of the same vein as the others.. a change in yourself. A positive change, and though it eseemed odd.. plastic... it really represented something less sci-fi.... I have had dreams where I was immeasurably happy. Others as well.. I had earned/won....* I want another dream like that, as a matter of fact.*
I'm losing it, not that I had it in the first place...

About Dream 1, it seems to suggest turmoil, disruption, destruction, probably emotional in nature, possibly concerning your feeling of isolation and old thoughtforms or mental/life 'clutter'. And you can see it coming, you are aware of it, enough so to try and change it. Mind over matter. But this appears to be an inevitable event, although you may be able to soften the blow somewhat. Could it be possible that it is necessary to be 'cleansed' in this way, to clear the clutter in your life, in order to obtain the 'prize' on the other side of the trials ... the new body, completion, wholeness, joy ... ?

Do you see something coming that could really stir things up in your life?

Pixie, you are good!

a tumultuous event in your consciousness... then you realize, through acceptance, you can regain some control.. it still comes in and changes things, but in a way you accept and embrace. You are looking for what you had before, but you can't have it the same way.. you are better now. You are expanded and what you had before might have been familiar, but you have outgrown it.

I believe you are correct. I still have to think on it some more. About which situation exactly, that this is, but that sounds right. It sounds similar to feelings I've had lately.

Funny that the last dream is familiar to you. I know what you mean about confusing empathy with experience sometimes. Yes, that dream was peculiar yet beautiful too. It has really stuck with me. I wish I could be that happy in waking life! LOL

Thank you for interpreting. You've given me some food for thought.

Let's see.....the last dream was first I believe. Then the second was second and the first was last. lol Yeah, that's it.

Yes, that sounds very possible. I've gotten too comfortable. I probably need to be shaken up and I'm sure I will be. That seems to always be the way. :/ I wait until the last minute to change things. And then everything comes crashing down and I find myself in a bigger mess.

Hmmm.....yes, there are things that could be coming that could stir things up in my life I guess. Now exactly which things these are or exactly what that is, I dont know.

Thank you both. I'm going to think about this some more.

You two make a good dream team.

Thank you 26Taurus...You sure do know how to make me smile.

But seriously....The internet is such a conduit to minds with commonalities and a great respect and love for people.
Who knew that I would derive such pleasure, and actual heart-bonds with people in such far removed places from me and my little world here. It startles me when I think of you and know there is a woman, whose chart is almost opposite mine in many respects, yet I see the searches in spiritualiy and friendship that you share here, and I feel such a bond with you and the person that you are, were and are becoming. I think you are just so wonderful.
And I don't want this to be one of those contests.. "You rock!"... "No, YOU rock." I just wanted you to know how I adore you.

Thank you for your kind words. You know I think youre a beautiful soul. And I too have seen you change and grow and it amazes me how someone so special and radiant can keep shining even more brightly as the days go by.

I dont know what's going on planetary wise but I've noticed everyone is feeling really lovey-dovey dreamy lately. It's nice. I'm feelin the love.

I'm stuck. It's the second dream. The other two make sense, but I am stuck on the religious symbols in the woods.

26t, what is your religious background, and where are you today? I'm guessing Christian background, possibly Catholic (?), but now more of your own brand of religion (like many of us here ). What's the deal? Any feelings about that scene in your dream?

posted March 31, 2005 03:16 AM         

I'm stuck on that one too. I dont have a religious background. My mother's side of the family is Catholic but she didnt raise us in any kind of religion. I've been to church a few times as a child with my grandmother but that's about it. Yes, I'm a bit of my own brand of religion I guess you could say. And always have been. So yes, that dream is pretty perplexing.

The feelings of that part of the dream, when I was looking at that scene, was one of total curiosity/confusion/awe/nervousness (a little) all wrapped in one. Strange, I dont know what to make of it either.

Thanks for trying to help me figure it out Ra. But this one may be a stumper.....

I'll post what I've got on the first and third dreams as well.

And oh wow! No, I dont mind a bit that you have a couple of other people helping to try to decipher this! Thank you and thank them for me! That's really nice. I'm very interested in what they, and you, have to say.

And that is very interesting what your friend said about them being Jewish! S/He could be right because I kind of just made a guess that they were Muslim......so, wow. I cant wait to hear more.

Yes, life happens. And I have plenty of time, so take yours. No pressure, though I am looking forward to your thoughs.

Dream 3 ... very intense emotions here! This dream reflects something new and wonderful coming into your life, something you have been missing, something that makes you whole and complete. I would say that there is, or will be, a cleansing taking place, an emotional cleansing, one which will lead to fulfillment in your life ... something you have desired very much. There is a feeling of spiritual forces at work, assisting/guiding you in this. (but it seems that first the shaking-up/destruction must happen)

Dream 2 could suggest that you are having anxiety about your abilities, or that you are avoiding something (running late/procrastinate), something that perhaps you do not wish to acknowledge (night time).

It appears as if this 'something' is represented by the scene in the woods. The "pitch black woods" symbolize your unconscious and whatever issue resides there that you are unwilling to confront. The images/structures you describe symbolize something within you that needs attention (tugging at attention). Now, this is where I asked my friends for help, because these symbols are not clear to me. The only thing I could see was a reference to past-present-future (pyramid-cross/Jesus-futuristic domes/blocks) which both of my friends independently corroborated, so I think there is definately something to that aspect. I can see that these symbols collectively represent belief structures of a spiritual/religious nature, but beyond that ... ?

Both of my friends said pretty much the same thing, that these three religious symbols have to do with an internal conflict anent your spirituality, or your religious belief structure. Perhaps you are torn between the truly ancient teachings and that which calls itself "New Age", with the added complication of Christianity. And it does seem to be this image of the cross/Jesus which lies at the heart of your confliction. The symbol you describe speaks of a 'resuurrection' of Jesus and His teachings within your consciousness, as if you turned away from His teachings for a time but have now rediscovered some aspects of them. The dream suggests, to my friends, that these fundamental Christian beliefs (not necessarily as taught by the modern church) are at the heart of your belief structure, more permanent, more solid than other belief systems, and perhaps part of you wishes to embrace them once again. The ancient knowledge still exists as a sort of foundation (pyramid), but the "New Age" aspects of it, the "New Religion", has very little new vision, awareness, or perception (no windows or doors).

Now, I couldn't help but notice the male-dominated energy surrounding these symbols ... Jesus, men praying, angles and geometry (as opposed to softer, more feminie lines) ... and I'm not sure how it fits in, but the last scene you describe must be related and could shed some light.

The last scene reflects some sort of conflict with a masculine energy. I had written in my notes, before my friends' opinions, that it is a masculine energy (man staring) which has been confined or held separate within your psyche (behind barbed wire), and which is threatening in some way, and as in the other dream, you again use mind over matter, or mental/thought energy, in order to dissipate the threat. But this explanation is vague and doesn't feel quite right. My friends seem to think that this man represents someone in your life - father, uncle, boyfriend, or some other male - from whom you feel threatened, not necessarily physically, but emotionally or mentally. Is this true? Is there a man in your life (or was there) who is, or has tried to, impose his beliefs/thoughts upon you? My friends seem to think this presence is at the root of your confliction.

So how does past-present-future fit in? Not exactly sure, could be several possibilities. Do you have any ideas?

There are some other connections that can be made, but I'd like to hear if any of this makes sense in any way first. When I read what I have have written it sounds fairly jumbled and confusing ... does it make any sense to you?
