Exploring the consciousness of dreams
Exploring my different dreams, I see that they fit into the concept of the 3 bodies and 3 conscious states – so I am using this terminology to relay my understanding of the planes of dreams.
The 3 bodies:
physical, astral, and soul
The 3 planes of consciousness:
consciousness, sub consciousness, and super consciousness
Connecting these bodies and states of consciousness to dreams:
corporeal
consciousness
daily dreams
Daily dreams explore the physical self;
the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual pillars
astral
sub consciousness
dreams of growth
Dreams of growth explore the senses;
the thought, creativity and manifestation of the self and the collective
soul
super consciousness
higher self dreams
Higher self dreams explore the immortal self;
the true self and true vision
Daily Dreams are of general life matters.
These dreams seem to be charged from emotions, thoughts and lessons.
The consciousness scans all of you, past, present and future and settles upon a matter where you can have personal growth.
May be a relationship that needs healing, a decision that you need to make, or confirmation that you are aligned with your integrity on a situation. Whatever is brought to your attention is of importance and needs to be realised, understood or addressed.
If you want unfiltered, undistorted, first hand information, these dreams are your best tool. You can use them to ‘go within’ and do ‘inner work’.
Try seeing them from the viewpoint of being the inner reflection of you and your life.
These dreams will confront you, challenge you, inspire you and change you.
They deep dive into each situation exploring the matter from every angle, you can understand the emotions governing the circumstances, what and how previous positions are connected to the condition, and possible outcomes allowing you to make better-informed decisions.
You can be your own fortune teller and therapist, for an hour or 2 a week.
The time in recording, learning the language and studying your dreams is a commitment, and it is a rewarding one.
Dreams of Growth are for developing the senses.
Dreams of Growth lack distortions and are more stable within the dream. The senses are heightened and contribute important perceptions to the message. The detail is memorably clear to recall the entire dream.
They explore all of you, this life, past lives, your higher self, other people, the collective, and earth’s soul.
- Philosophical contemplations influence the dream’s communication, whereby objective knowledge important for your spirit’s progression is explored and answered
- Karma or ancestral connections that are influencing your life.
- Another person’s general daily matters, their serious situations and forecasted futures.
- The presence of someone other than you, maybe a guide or passed loved one.
- Historical, present or possible futures of the collective such as a natural phenomena forecast.
- Lucid dreaming, in some aspects we all lucid dream in all dreams whereby we think or influence the dream, lucid dreaming in this state of consciousness, is where the entire lucid experience is conducted by you.
- False awakenings, this is where you think you have awoken, yet you then actually wake up. Why do you think you experienced a false awakening? Although I had experienced this many times, it wasn’t until I had 4 false awakenings in one experience that I grasped the concept that I was living in a dream within a dream. This pushed me to use what I had learnt about dreams and use it for everything (visions, interactions, signs, etc).
Overall these types of dreams and experiences are broad, they are your connection to all that is connected to this physical plane. When you have a dream that communicates knowledge that surpasses your conscious self, then you have had a dream of growth. To experience these dreams and integrate their message into your life as personal growth, banking of knowledge or helping others, they are the treasure that comes with dreamwork.
Higher Self Dreams are beyond this illusion with true vision.
It is not a physical plane, yet it perceives itself to be more real than physical reality. The colours are rich and enhanced, and what is experienced is of clarity as if it is the true potential. Here a grain of knowledge needed to turn a page in the book to start a new chapter for the highest good of oneself or understand the progression of the higher self.
This is where I understand where my soul’s progression is at. It is just pure consciousness with true vision and clarity.
These are rare, these treasures come with time.
Dreamscape sequels
Have you had dreams where the dreamscape is the same as another dream?
Maybe you have multiple dreams where the dreamscape is your childhood home, childhood suburb, your grandparent’s home or cousin’s childhood home?
Maybe you have multiple dreams of a place that does not resemble anything in your waking life, it only feels familiar, you know you have dreamt of the place before while you are within the dream or upon awakening. This place can expand over the years to be your open-ended dream-crafted reality.
Having experienced all of the above, I felt there was a connection – and there is.
Some of the following may not resonate with you, as when you dream of your childhood home it may mean something different to what it means when I dream of mine. This is why you are the best person to translate your dreams.
My intention in sharing this with you, is maybe this will inspire you to see how the dreamscapes that reoccur in your dreams intertwine with your life path. So, find your dreamscape patterns and figure out why you are having dreams of reoccurring dreamscapes.
My findings…
My childhood home; my life path.
My childhood suburb; my life lessons.
My Grandads home; my spiritual journey.
My Parent’s home; my relationship with my partner.
My Aunties home; my foundations and perceptions.
And my open-ended dream-crafted reality; heart-centred journey.
If you have reoccurring dreamscapes of people’s homes, if it is their house physically or not, you dream-sense it is their house, if they are there or not, identify what they symbolise and then you will be able to connect what part of you is governing the situation the dream is about. From, my experience, what each person symbolises, continues to be the same in each dream.
For example, I have a person who symbolises no integrity, so when their house is my dreamscape, then I am not using my integrity in the situation the dream is about. See ‘Dreaming of People’ for more information.
Identifying your reoccurring dreamscapes is not only a great exercise, it also gives you a piece of the message upon awakening and helps you to understand the dream when you translate it.
You can also track your progress as the sequential dreams unfold.
Reoccurring dreams
There are a few different types of reoccurring dreams, such as those associated with trauma, those that have elements that do not represent this physical plane or those where the dreamscapes are the same.
The reoccurring dreams I am concentrating on here are where the elements are similar or the same and when you have deciphered the dream the message is similar or the same.
For example, maybe you have had multiple dreams over the last few months or years of driving and having a car accident or being at home and discovering new rooms.
Isolate the common elements, whether these be the stage, people, animals, objects, actions or dialogue and start with what they are symbolising and/or reflecting from your waking life.
An example of mine, I am in a shop or department store and I either misplace, lose, or forget my wallet.
Isolating the common elements that reoccur in each dream; shop, the action of misplacing/losing/forgetting and my wallet.
*note the below suggestions are what each symbolised for me
Shop/department store – options.
Misplacing/losing/forgetting – misplaced, lost or forgetting.
Wallet – identity.
I was aware of the situation that this was connected to, I continually worked on it over that phase and I would have reoccurring dreams telling me the same thing in different ways and from different angles for me to understand the situation in its entirety and for me to figure out how to go about progressing on from this matter, and if I wavered, I was reminded again, today I confidently and firmly have my wallet with me at all times!
Until you translate one of these reoccurring dreams, begin to work on it in your own way and make changes, the dreams will continue to reoccur.
The best part about working on what the dream is about is having progression dreams. Progression dreams are insightful, giving you updates, guidance and confirmation.
For example:
- they will show you what part of the situation you may have missed or misinterpreted
- what you need to keep working on
- the layers to the situation
- any underlying matters contributing to the matter
- and they will congratulate you on your progress and when you may have slipped up and fallen back into old patterns.
I have heard and read instances where people dream of something destructive happening such as having a car accident and then it playing out in real life. This is not to say dreaming of a car accident will result in one, yet whatever is affecting you to the extent you are dreaming of a car crash is symbolic of you having a violent collision on your life path. If this manifests into a physical playout is the phenomena of consciousness.
In regards to the car accident playing out in real life, I asked someone who had a reoccurring car crash dream and an actual physical car crash when the dreams ceased to continue ‘what had been happening on your life path that was destructive during that time?’, (because driving on a road alludes to direction or course of life path). The response was ‘everything including a unhealthy relationship which was not dealt with or broken away from until after that crash and when life changes were made’ – this is common where a wake up call by disastrous elements in our life results in change.
Carl Jung wrote that a client of his kept dreaming of falling when he was rock climbing which ended up physically happening, he noted that this client was a frequent abseiler and did not make changes within his life during his time as his patient.
These reoccurring dreams are trying to get your attention and help you.
Maybe with the guidance of your dreams, you can lessen or change challenges or disastrous situations emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually.
What do nightmares and bad dreams mean?
Bad dreams or nightmares where it is your consciousness influencing the dream, showing you something unpleasant either from your past, present or a possible future are to help you.
These self-influenced types of bad dreams can be unpleasant or scary.
These dreams like all dreams, have messages, and although you could have been drowning, falling, had a car crash, had a snake lunge at you or seen a demon-like creature, this is your beautiful mind showing you something that is causing you problems or could cause you problems.
I have awoken to my legs burning because in my dream 3 women threw a liquid at my legs, showing me that I was damaging the support on my path, I woke up after a green cobra hissed and lunged at me showing me that I was threatening my transformation of healing and I had reoccurring dreams where I had a gas leak in my campervan showing me to get it fixed, which I did and found out the fitting needed replacing.
In a sense just as I sometimes overact, my dreams also do, yet in reality these dreams are trying to get my attention and an unpleasant dream or nightmare is highlighting the seriousness of the situation so that I will do something about it.
Try viewing them as guidance and help, be grateful, however confronting they may be, and if you wake up in a sweat, gather yourself together and know that you have the best tool to help you, the message of your dream.
- If something from your past is negatively affecting you today, you can have a nightmare tonight.
- If you do something today that has an unpleasant effect on you and your life, you can have an unpleasant dream of it tonight.
- And if there is a possible negative outcome on your path, you can wake up from a dream in a cold sweat of fear.
The feeling or emotions during the dream or upon awakening is a good indicator of the energy around the situation. Take that emotion and relate it to where you are feeling this way in your life.
Take the prominent element of the dream such as the legs, cobra and gas leak and figure out what it is symbolising to relate it to something in waking life.
These dreams are like other daily dreams where the subconscious is exploring all of you and settles on a particular situation, unfortunately, the particular matter that your dreams may have settled on is a fear, an unhealthy pattern, or something you are doing that is detrimental to your well-being.
Use these dreams to help you, your dream is your guide to helping you in every area of your life, it is your guide to understanding the hidden, the past, the present and possible future situations, it is your guide to see the situation from the best possible position, a 360-degree angle.
Dreams of self-destruction
Smoke is billowing out of the oven, I feel pressure, then notice its windy outside, I knew there was a storm forecasted for here and now, the house begins to shake violently, I grab onto the oven door for dare life, it’s no longer the oven door, it’s the TV, a part of the roof is sucked out, the wind settles, I see a fireball as large as the sky through the hole in the roof then a tree collapses on the house…
That sounds devastating…
This dream back in 2010 was showing me the condition of my life.
That dream could be summarised as symbolising destruction and damage.
These types of dreams aren’t warnings if they are reflecting what is going on in waking life. They are showing destruction and damage with wind, storms, the house violently shaking, a fireball in the sky and a tree collapsing on the house.
This theme of dreams can use natural phenomena and weather to symbolise great and irreparable harm and damage.
For example, in that dream, the smoke alluded to something being wrong, the wind alluded to mental activity, the storm alluded to troublesome disturbance of the atmosphere and the fireball alluded to explosive emotions.
Whatever form your dream used to symbolise devastation, look to how each would cause such devastation to understand the detail behind what is being symbolized.
For example, if you dream of an earthquake is this alluding to a sudden and violent shaking on your path, is a tornado alluding to a destructive turmoil advancing or is a tsunami alluding to being spiritually overwhelmed.
Alongside this, the entire scene and all the details will give you the information you need to understand the situation in its entirety.
You may know what is going on in your life or you may not, whatever the situation, your dream will help and guide you through and out the other side, giving you updates along your progress.
You can turn that storm into clear blue skies.
When dreams have messages and warnings
Dreams can have a particular theme of objects to show you a ‘message’, and a particular theme of objects and sounds to ‘warn’ you.
Messages and warnings come in different forms and ways, the suggestions I am using can be easily grouped, and examples can be given.
When dreams are trying to highlight a ‘message or warning’ with an object or sound, it is a dream of importance, to get your attention, and address the situation. Like a tap on the shoulder from your higher self.
Warnings also come in the form of dreams of self-destruction, reoccurring dreams, and nightmares.
Objects that can highlight a ‘message’:
- Communication via phone and computer alludes to a message. The type of device and the way it was used will add to the message received via the device. For example, an old-style phone alludes to something old or the past.
- Stationary alludes to communication. This can be about the way you are communicating with others, or a message being communicated. The latter, such as paper, post-it notes, etc can be understood by the colour, pattern, the way you interact with it, who gave it to you, what was written on it, etc.
- Books allude to information and knowledge. The colour, type, category, and title will provide more detail to the message.
- Magazines allude to a message using the type of magazine.
- Newspapers allude to an awareness about something you noticed in the paper.
- Newsletters allude to keeping you up to date on what was in the newsletter.
- Postal Items allude to a message or gift. A greeting card, postcard, envelope, courier package, mail holder, and letterbox will provide more detail using colour, patterns, the sender, the receiver, etc.
- Advertisement alludes to a notice or announcement. Posters, flyers, sandwich boards, billboards, television adverts, etc, have information, reminders, and warnings, trying to get your attention about something. The specific type of advertisement and if the advertisement was connected to someone or something, will add more information to the details of the advertisement.
- Signwriting alludes to a notice or announcement. What the signwriting was on, such as a business, a car, a wall, etc, will add to the signwriting words.
- Poems and songs allude to the words used to relay a message. Connect your thoughts or feelings about the song along with the specific words.
- Numbers, dates, and times.
- Present or gift bag alludes to a gift. The colour and patterns of the wrapping, the contents, the giver, and the receiver will give more detail to the gift.
Objects and sounds that can highlight a ‘warning’:
- The sound of nature’s children alludes to what the individual animal symbolises.
- The sounds of stormy weather or a natural phenomenon allude to what the type of weather or phenomenon symbolises. These generally come as a warning, trying to get your attention. For example, storms allude to troublesome times.
- The sound of air alludes to the mind, thoughts and ideas. For example, a tornado alludes to devastation and destruction is approaching and this may be connected or created by the mental pillar.
- The sound of water alludes to a spiritual aspect. For example, hearing the rain pelt down outside alludes to a great influx spiritually.
- An explosive object or an explosion alludes to a violent and destructive aspect. The type of item will give more detail to the message.
- Public services allude to a signal or warning. What the specific public service does or your association with them will add more information to what is being conveyed. The sirens of a police car, fire engine, ambulance and air siren will be to signal or warn you.
- Police siren alludes to help, self-policing, or authority.
- Ambulance siren alludes to medical attention or help.
- Fire engine siren alludes to controlling a bad situation or help. Fire can represent emotions, so the situation could be governed by emotions.
- Air raid siren alludes to an emergency warning of approaching danger. Air can represent the mind, so the situation could be about the mind, thoughts, or ideas. If you knew the air siren was a tsunami warning, then try using the connection water has with the spiritual self.
- Vehicle or vessel horn alludes to a warning or danger. The type of vehicle or vessel will add more information to the message.
- Car horn alludes to a warning or danger with the physical body or the situation or path you are on.
- Ferry alludes to a warning or danger with a short spiritual journey. If the ferry horn was notifying you that the ferry was leaving, then this would allude to you missing or making a short spiritual journey.
- Revving engine alludes to either decreasing or increasing the speed of your physical body in some way or the speed of your movement along your path.
- Alarm alludes to warning or violation depending on the type of alarm and the reason for it.
- Car alarm alludes to violation against your body or movement along your path.
- House alarm alludes to the violation of your life or mind.
- Alarm clock alludes to ‘time to wake up’ or ‘it’s time’.
- Silence alludes to listening. Pay attention and listen to something.
An example of someone close to me who had a dream that used sound to warn her.
Her husband and she had gone to one of his bike meetings and she was cleaning up in the venue after everyone had left when she heard his bike loudly reeving outside in the parking lot and when she went out, he had gone and a person had offered her help.
This was portraying a personal fear of hers about being left behind. This stems from an event that happened when she was younger and reoccurred again when she was older. This fear had entered her thought patterns in waking life more than normal and the dream was warning her to stop or deal with this fear.
When these objects or sounds appear in your dream, take the time to record and understand the dream, these dreams have important messages to guide and help you.
Dreams about cleansing or ridding yourself of something
Dreams have a particular theme of objects and actions to show you the symbolism of cleansing and ridding yourself of something.
This theme of dreams can be about your thoughts, ideas, situation, information you are consuming (concept, belief, etc), your attitude, a characteristic trait, etc.
Consider your association with the object (what, why and how you would use them in waking life) and the action or lack of action played out in the dream to understand what the object and action is symbolising.
- Another persons object was unclean or dirty – is this about them or are their characteristics a reflection of you?
- How the object presented itself – were the dishes not only dirty but also piled up everywhere in the kitchen or they were just stacked in the sink, giving you more detail and the extent of the matter?
- Your actions or lack of, will show you the stage of the situation.
- Your thoughts – thinking that you forgot to do the dishes or turn the dishwasher on adds more information to the situation.
The stage of where you are at with cleansing or ridding yourself of something will be highlighted within the dream.
- Suggesting or showing you to cleanse or rid yourself of something.
- Maybe you are already in the process or phase and your dream is showing you your progression by doing the action of cleaning or ridding yourself of something.
- Maybe you have already cleansed or rid yourself of something and your dream is confirming this and showing you more to the situation that you need to know or the outcome.
Seeing something unclean or dirty (dishes, clothes, etc) alludes to something that needs your attention or maybe it is referring to a lack of something.
Whatever is unclean or dirty, is symbolising the ‘something’ in your life.
Dirty in general alludes to the condition of something in your life, inattentiveness or lack of value, morals, pride, joy, etc.
Dirty linen alludes to the condition of your rest or misdeeds.
Dirty clothes allude to the condition of your character or impurity, specific items and colours will give more information.
Dirty dishes allude to the condition of something you are consuming, how or what is left behind after consumption.
Dirty house alludes to the condition of your mind or life. A specific room will be in connection to how you use that room. For example, a dirty bathroom alludes to the condition of how you cleanse aspects in life, a dirty kitchen alludes to the condition of where you prepare thoughts, ideas, plans, or consumption (books, concepts, etc), etc.
Dirty vehicle alludes to the need to cleanse an aspect of self, mind or body, the type of vehicle, details (owner, colours, etc), the dirty part, etc, will give more information.
Cleansing body products or cleaning products.
Whatever the product does or however you would use it in waking life will allude to why you dreamt of it and where or what needs cleansing in your life.
Soap or body wash alludes to cleansing negative aspects.
Face cleanser alludes to cleansing negative characteristics.
Shampoo alludes to cleansing your thoughts.
The act of washing or cleaning.
In this type of dream, the item/s you were cleaning, the way you were cleaning, and the place will all contribute to the message of the dream. Also consider the scene before and after the act of cleaning.
Having a shower alludes to cleansing an aspect of yourself, this could be an inner aspect.
Washing your hair with shampoo alludes to cleansing your thoughts. Maybe a negative aspect or extraneous elements.
Washing your hands (now soap) alludes to the pun ‘washing your hands of something.’
Cleaning your hands (with soap) alludes to cleansing yourself of an element related to work, personal work, giving or receiving.
Cleaning or tidying up in general alludes to cleaning up an aspect to improve a situation.
Elements that allude to ridding or eliminating yourself of something.
If you think about doing the action, you do the action or you just knew you had it done the action, will tell you where you are at with the matter; are you thinking about it, are you doing it or have you done it.
Taking the trash out alludes to something that you need to remove from your mind or life.
Trimming hair alludes to tidying up some irregular or unwanted thoughts.
Cutting hair alludes to removing some extraneous thoughts.
Going to the toilet alludes to eliminating something or getting rid of unnecessary waste.
This theme of dreams is about something in your waking life that needs attention.
Allow the entire dream and all the details to show you what the cleansing or ridding matter is. The dream will give you the information to know the stage you are at, if it is a suggestion or you have done the act in waking life, what the situation looks like if you choose to do it and possible outcomes.
Re-enter the dream or visual meditation.
Re-enter the dream state upon awakening with an intention that is in the highest good of yourself. Maybe you want to do those dishes or clean that car, reinforce this with intent and let the sequential dream unfold.
Consciously go to bed that night with the intent of allowing your dreams to explore the current situation more, or to progress with the matter in the highest good of yourself. Understanding the dream prior to this, is suggested for the best results.
Visual meditation whereby you change the dream from start to finish in the highest good of yourself. I suggest replaying the entire dream from start to finish, not just the scene where there was a dirty kitchen (for example), this way all aspects are addressed for the best result. Or if you have heightened visual abilities, starting at the part with the dirty kitchen and allowing the changes to unfold and create an outcome in the highest good of yourself.
If you cannot change the scene visually, you need to either understand the dream and situation more or you need to physically act something out in accordance to balance or counteract the dream or situation. Use your intuition and discernment. Visualisations are best supported with the spoken word and actions.
Using dreams to improve the state of mind
Using your dreams to explore your state of mind allows you to observe your thoughts, intentions, and actions.
Each dream will show you a scene that you can use as an observational tool, to observe yourself. Maybe there was something you overlooked or failed to see originally in waking life that your dream exposes.
The mind can appear through symbols like hats, hair accessories, the hair, the sky, air, and a house.
From the entire dream scene through to the message of the dream, you can observe and understand your mental processes, patterns, and quality and choose how you want to improve the state of your mind.
In the book, The Self Perfected State by Chogyal Namkhai Norbu, he writes how one should try to discover their own true condition stripped of all the self-deceptions and falsifications that the mind creates.
One way to discover one’s true condition is to become aware of oneself by observing oneself.
The scene of your dream is a perfect observational tool, giving you a visual and sensory show of yesterday’s situation or a problem, you have.
Your mind creates your beliefs, attitude, and limitations.
By discovering all the limits that I created for myself I see that duality and conditioning are where they stemmed from. To overcome them, I identified that they never helped me in the past, so, they will not help me in the present and now if they arise, I no longer feed them.
The ‘Self Perfected State’ explores the principle of observing without judgment. So when an emotion arises such as anger I neither block nor transform it, I observe it without judgment, and this has led to the emotion dissolving before being acted out. This can also be termed as the present moment.
The present moment being the state of mind between perceiving something and the reasoning mind. The goal is to remain in this state of presence and not follow the thoughts of judgment and reasoning.
The present moment is not limited to no thoughts, it is also when thoughts arise without interruption, so there is movement or are the thoughts are of purity.
How you improve the health of your mind will unfold naturally for you and a great observational tool is the scene of your dreams that is then supported by a message to guide you to a healthier and happier state of mind.
Dreaming about your physical health
Dreams can help you understand your physical health by showing you what the problem is, the cause, and suggestions on how to rectify it.
Just as your dreams explore your spiritual, mental, and emotional pillars, they also explore the physical pillar.
From overindulging to a reoccurring issue, you can dream of it, and if you want to know about something, just ask.
Because of the multiple layers that contribute to our physical health, can I suggest keeping an open mind to not only foodstuff and external influences but also stressors, emotions, and thought patterns.
Let’s go over two examples, overindulgence and physical health conditions.
Overindulgence dreams may use exaggeration, the overplay is a great way to understand what is being conveyed.
For example, I have a sensitivity to too much dairy, one night I dreamt of serving a soft serve into a 4ft ice cream cone.
In the book titled ‘Dreams’ by Percy G Stiles printed in 1927, he writes:
“There had been immoderate indulgence in buttered popcorn. In the dream, the various rooms of the house were found disfigured by deposits of grease. A striking detail remembered was an electric light which with its shade was completely enveloped in a mass of what appeared to be lard.”
Any dreams that have foodstuff or in some way could relate to food like grease, are worth paying attention to.
In regards to physical health conditions, these are insightful, giving you a 360-degree view of the matter.
A few years back, I had a period of waking up stiff and sore, and a dream about a bedside table dancing rigidly and then becoming loose and flexible was translated for me to understand that I needed to do stretches in the morning and within a few days of doing these the rigidness subsided.
Mr Stiles in the book ‘Dreams’ also wrote of a dream about a dull stomach ache,
“An oddly inflated cat was seen by the dreamer, at first with amusement but presently with disquiet. The animal was tossed up from the floor in a series of little rebounds such as a football might have shown. What was at first taken to be playfulness was shortly recognized to indicate distress.
Waking, the recorder found that his own abdominal walls were uncomfortably tense; he had a prosaic stomachache.”
The reason for a bedside table or a cat being used within the dream is subjective to each individual dreamer. Your dream will use elements that you can associate with so you understand the message, and unless it is a dream about someone else or a premonition, it will relate to something in your current waking life.
Also, take note of how you perceived the scene because your observational thoughts of a scene playing out, just like the guy observing the cat, is where you are thinking within a dream, going through a process of reasoning and this information adds to the message of the dream.
Dream elements that may be in a dream about your physical health could be:
Medical professionals, services, and buildings.
Natural Health professionals, services, and buildings.
Foodstuffs, medicine, supplements, and plants.
A vehicle and car parts.
Body and body parts.
Dreams about your physical health give you the opportunity to understand what you may not have known or to confirm something for you, hopefully, you get a suggestion on a remedy or solution, and if you want to know about something going on with your physical health, ask before you go to sleep.
Why not to dismiss a dream because last nights movie was in it
Yesterday can intertwine with the scene of your dreams, from that punnet of seedlings my mum gave me to the actor from the movie you watched last night.
Here is an example of mine.
In my waking life, I had picked up some seedlings from my mum.
That night those seedlings were in my dream; I had the seedlings with me, and put them in a friend’s backyard, they were not there when I came back to get them, so I went to the market to get some more.
The dream was triggered by something I was processing at the time around my foundations and the punnet of seeds played their part by symbolising ‘new beginnings/ideas’. The seedlings played their role very well!
Now this is where you can take my example and relate to where this has happened to you, like a movie you watched, maybe your dream had a scene from the movie or the actor was in your dream. Identify what that character or actor symbolises and see how your dream incorporated last night’s movie into a scene in your dream.
Dreams include all of you and your experiences, what you encounter along your life path, past present and future… including that billboard advert, something you saw in a shop, or that actor in last night’s movie.
How and why to give your dreams a title
Working with your dreams more efficiently can be fruitful.
After you have deciphered your dream and know the message, try making a title, something that stands out where you would remember the dream if you were to see that title again or know the title if you were thinking of the dream again.
Dreams that stand out, such as important messages, a forecast of a possible future, dates or timing, reoccurring landscapes, reoccurring dreams, progression dreams, etc, can be found easier later when you want to refer to it by placing a tab on the page in your dream journal, create an index at the back of your journal or note it on a wall calendar.
Ideas on dream titles:
- A dream element that encapsulates the dream or message.
- The reoccurring landscape.
- The reoccurring dream theme.
- The part of you the dream is exploring; physical, emotions, mental, and spiritual.
- What triggered the dream.
The title should have enough detail for you to remember the dream by the title or think about the dream and know the main elements of the dream that you would have included in the title. Try using more than one thing about the dream. For example, the reoccurring landscape, the part of you the dream was exploring and a rare element that appeared in your dream = Grandad’s house, spiritual, piano.
