I dreamed I was writing strange symbols on a large glass window... I was writing the symbols from left to right (I think) and each line was higher up the window. One of the symbols that stands out to me was a zig-zag like the Aquarius glyph (however I think it was just one zig zag, not two) or what my boyfriend tells me is "mu" (I've dreamed about this symbol before); this symbol repeats quite a few times in what I'm writing on the glass in the dream. When I stood back from the window I saw that the symbols were forming the shape of a tree, with foliage at the top and at the bottom of the tree where the roots would be, instead of roots there was a river flowing either into or out of the tree (not sure which).

It was dark outside the window and members of my family were there (inside with me).

I'm wondering what the tree and the symbols mean and what the river at the roots of the tree stands for. Like I said, I've dreamed about "mu" before, and it was carved into stone (either a wall or on a tablet); I've also dreamed about rivers before (in my river dream there were crystals in the river that I was responsible for, and some old ladies stole the crystals for souveniers and I was devastated... my boyfriend says this was because I had my period and the dream was about the lost opportunity for conception... when he said that it struck a very strong chord and I started crying, so I guess he was right!)

Very cool dream ... quite interesting. We'll give it some thought, and be back as soon as possible.

I had a thought, probably way off-base, but... could the tree have something to do with your family, as in a "family tree"? Your family represents your "roots", and water is your emotional connection to them.

I dreamed about my family again last night, and it was about my grandad dying (he died a few years ago), so that's weird.

"Mu" in several ancient languages means the "mother", or "earth", in Bablyon it is "Mut" and in ancient Egyptian too, in Atlantis the word "Mu" is mother.

You say they were all females in your dream or the other one perhaps?

This could tie in with what paras had to say in regards to your family tree...I have also seen "Mu" as a symbol of a triangle in ancient geometry (Hittite civilisation?)doesn't a tree often looks like a triangle, sometimes...? Hmmm...

Very intriguing! Yeah I am interested in what Ra has to say as well! Esoteric indeed!

I looked up my dream symbols in a book and it was rather strange. According to this book it said that trees foretell success or the coming true of my hopes; it also said the same thing about rivers. Sounds good so far... but then it said that windows in a dream foretell that my hopes WON'T come true... so what's that all about? *eyeroll*

Dreaming in another language is a peculiar phenomenon. I would say that it indicates either a past life, or tapping of the collective unconscious.

GeminiLover, I would suggest getting a different dream book. The one you looked in seems a bit superstitious. Books that make most symbols out to be some kind of foretelling or omen are not being very thorough.

Be back soon ...

There seem to be many layers to the symbology of this dream, and while I think I can understand what the dream is saying (my opinion of it, of course), I'm finding it difficult to put the thoughts to paper in some sort of concise way. Bear with me as I try to scratch the surface.

The way I see it, this dream is a symbolic representation of Self creation.

The strange symbols and method of writing (left to right, bottom to top) are drawn from past life experience, for a dual purpose. First, this infuses the dream with suggestions of ancient knowledge, wisdom, and creative expression, providing a link between past and present, as well as future. And it certainly adds to the esoteric flavor of the dream. Second, it symbolizes the transmition of information/knowledge from the left brain, our receptive side (which communicates through symbol), to the right (which translates symbol into language), or from the unconscious (left) to conscious awareness (right), while also symbolizing the creation of Self from foundation to fruition (bottom to top). Indeed, we are the creators of our own karma, our associations, our past, and our own destiny.

So the tree is Self, and the extension of Self through family and heritage. It is the Family Tree. It is also the Tree of Knowledge (it is made of the glyphs) and the Tree of Life (roots are a river). This Tree represents the coming together, the one-ness, of all these symbols as they culminate in, and manifest through Self. It represents an increase in your awareness concerning matters of your own evolution.

The dream seems to be suggesting that as you become more aware of Self (creating the Tree), you will find new areas of unawareness, new areas of the unknown, in which the potential exists to extend yourself into. (dark outside the window)

How this all relates to your waking life, I couldn't say. What do you think?
