Dream Interpretation

[ThorQuest]

Does anyone else have recurring dreams or in my case nightmares? I wish I could some how record mine, it would give some of Steven King's novels a run for their money. Most of mine lately revolve around post doomsday situations in which I'm trying to survive in a radiation filled landscape and trying to escape something horrible. Chaos and anarchy are the rule of the day and these are all increasing in frequency and intensity. I'm going to try and post the dreams here to keep track. Sometimes right after I wake up I get really good song and other ideas too. Then they fade if I don't write them down right away so I'll use this thread for recording them as well. It's been suggested that dreams are the reality and we're in a parallel universe in which this is actually the dream. That makes some sense to me. The the more I sleep the worse the dreams get so I try to wake up early for some relief. If you would like to share what your dreams are each night I would love to read about them and maybe you can try to figure out mine.

It's been years since I had reoccurring nighmares, Thorquest. But I was haunted by that as a child for a long time. I know now that it was one of my biggest fears manifesting, and once I found a way to face that fear, the dreams stopped altogether, thank God.

I will admit that as of late, my dreams have been way more chaotic than they have been for years though! It makes me wonder if there is a chance that some bigger change is coming to the Earth in my lifetime sometimes, especially when I find other's who's dreams have changed as well.

I think that sharing our dreams in this thread is a great idea! I will do my best interpretating them, but am only a little bit educated on that subject. I think that we live in many parallel dimensions at once, our dream state being only one of them myself. So I will agree partially with the theory that when we dream, that is just as much a "reality" as when we are awake.

In my point of view, once one learns to "rise above" one's present life on Earth, there is no time. I have been pretty good at being able to "rise above" my current self, and have learned how to "time travel" in my mind in order to see other's past lives as well as my own. When one is existing in a dimension where there is no time, than it makes it much easier to realize that in a higher reality of consciousness, we are actually experiencing many lives at once. Crazy thought, eh?

For about the last six months I've been trying to stay in the moment and not get caught up in trying to fight old battles or worrying about what might happen tomorrow Summer. I still have goals and try to learn from past mistakes and successes but it seems helpful to live in the here and now. That's a little off topic, but we were talking about time travel and parallel universes earlier. Existentialism has become interesting because I try to live in a world of the absurd and very few things seem to ever go as planned. That's a great website Creator and I'll spend some time with it today.

Last night I dreamt I was giving a guitar class to people at work of all things. It was nice having more knowledge about something than them for once and I was happy to share the information as they were happy to learn. None of the students had guitars oddly enough and I was in the middle of writing a pre-course assessment when I woke up.

[Summer]

Yes, I can see why you focus more on the here-and-now Thorquest. I do a lot more of that now in my life than I used to as well.

Very good dream you had last night too, Thorquest. Unfortunately, I only remember bits and pieces of my dreams that I had last night, not enough to make sense of to write down. But they weren't good dreams, I am sure of that, unfortunately. I am going through a lot of great challenges in my life right now, and my dreams have been reflecting that by being more nightmarish for quite awhile now.

[ThorQuest]

I had a bad one again last night that I'm reluctant to share but want to set it free and this seems like an understanding place to do so. I had to go to a court hearing for my friend Tim who is currently on trial for murdering his mom's 72 year old boyfriend. Displayed all over the court walls were pictures of Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin, his dragon suits etc. I looking for Tim to come into the court room but he never showed and I started to feel like it was me who was on trial. This doesn't need much interpretation as he really is on trial for this. This shouldn't need much interpretation and I sure was glad to wake up. Any good vibes you can send out to him, the victim's family etc would be greatly appreciated. He'll probably never see the light of day and they're trying to get him into a state mental hospital. I stick with my friends til the end no matter what.

[Summer]

It is most definately a dream that shows me how close you are to your friend, and how much you are fearing for him. Especially since you eventually felt like you were the one on trial. The part about Jimmy Page, I would guess popped in because of your love of Zeppelin. I will say a prayer for your friend, and for the victims family as well, and send as many good vibes as I can too. Hugs to you, Thorquest!

I cannot remember my dreams from last night again, but did remember 2 nights dreams since I last posted in this thread. In my first dream, I went outside onto the back porch of a house that I was in that wasn't actually my house, but was a house next door to my house, and found my oldest Son urinating on my youngest Son, and my youngest Son was not trying to defend himself in any way. Rather, he was laying in a fetal position on the porch! I got extremely angry at my oldest Son and all of his friends that were in the house at the time. So I grabbed a butcher knife from the kitchen and went after my oldest Son with it, to force him to leave the house. Then I took the butcher knife to all of his friends and actually cut quite a few of them in order to get them to leave, because no matter what I would say to any of them, they would continue to stay in the house, and I wanted to make sure they would go away so me and my youngest Son would be safe. I didn't kill any of my oldest Son's friends, but I did cut most of them up pretty badly, usually on their stomach somewhere.

Even after I drove my oldest Son's friends and him out of the house, men who seemed like gang members to me kept coming to the door of the house and trying to get in, so I would take the knife to them in order to defend myself and my youngest Son. None of the gang members got into the house because I was cutting them before they could. I awoke suddenly out of this dream, and remembered it quite vividly.

The second dream I had was a good one in my opinion, but very strange. I was back in time about 200 years or so, and was living exactly like Cinderella did, with a step Mother who was forcing me to be her slave, and was very cruel to me. Oddly enough, we had some modern conveniances, some of which were DVD players, and DVD's. Someone put in a movie about Cinderella, and I realized that the movie was actually about me. So in my dream, I came to the realization that I WAS the Cinderella the story was talking about! I felt very shocked to realize this in my dream, but at the same time it made sense to me. I met a business man that I fell in love with, who fell in love with me too, and we were planning to get married in the near future, but got separated somehow. But I knew that we would meet up sooner or later and get married, so I wasn't worried about it. A lot of weird things happened in the dream, and they were sort of jumbled up so I really can't put them into words too easily. But that was the main gist of it. Strange, eh?

[ThorQuest]

Wow that first one is Scary Summer. I think some dreams are little parts of our memory that surface when we least expect it and randomly interact with the neurons in our mind. That one seems like you're defending something maybe your sons or yourself, who knows. This lady seems to be an expert and she makes some sense but since she was also on the Martha Stewart(who I'm convinced is Satanic-no disrespect to anyone) show so I question her credibility. I might look for her book at the library, but I'm sure not paying to go on her website:

[Summer]

Yeah, I think that you are right about me defending or worrying about defending someone, and it is probably my wanting to defend my youngest Son Mickael. Some of his older brother's friends are a little bit on the scary side, always have been. Let's hope that I really can find a way in real life to keep my youngest Son away from my oldest Son's friends, as they would be a horrible influence for him.

Thanks for the U-Tube stuff, Thorquest. Very interesting. You won't be offending me when you talk about Satanist's, as quite a few of my problems in my life have been started by some of them, unfortunately.

[ThorQuest]

No nightmares last night which doesn't make for any interesting reading today but maybe by writing them down here it will help get rid of them

[Summer]

You know. it just might end up helping. As we face and deal with our fears, I have found that the nightmares eventually do stop. I was awoken this morning by a spirit entering into one of my dreams to contact me, but this happens to me quite often, so I am very used to it.

[ThorQuest]

Hmm, I've never had a spirit entering my dreams, that's interesting. I haven't had any more dreams good or bad that I can remember. Knock on wood(yes I do that superstition also). Work has been going surprisingly good. Magick is real.

[Summer]

Oh, yes, magick is definitely real! I'm very glad to hear that your work is going well for you! I am in the middle of losing one of the light's of my life, my Grandma, and have been extremely busy going back and forth out to the country where she lives and back in to the suburbs where I live once or twice per day lately.

Last night I dreamt I was in a huge, very nice hotel on vacation, and for some reason all of the other people who were at the hotel were all super model beautiful. I kept comparing myself to them, and thinking, well, that is just what is meant for them in this lifetime, to be super beautiful. But I also kept thinking that I was very attractive in my own way as well, and even though they were acting like snobs, I kept reassuring myself that I was great just the way I was. For some reason, I wanted to get together with one of the young men, and he kept rejecting me, over and over, and I couldn't understand why. I never did give up though, because in my dream we had been together before, and I figured he would give in again sooner or later. Then my alarm clock went off. Any idea's anyone?

You're grandma's very lucky to have you as a granddaughter and It's nice that you're able to spend time with her during this difficult time. Did you recently watch a movie or read a story about the beautiful people? That's what I'm thinking that your dream with the supermodels is a remnant of. I had a dream where I was doing volunteer work with our local public radio station. I was in my car and some protesters showed up to which I responded by rolling up the windows and shouting "I'm with the roll the car over coalition." The protesters started rocking the car as I was mocking them. This may be a vision of the upcoming G20 summit in Pittsburgh this September.

Most of the time when I dream lately I'm semi conscious and interject and can actually steer the dream. I've been known to talk in my sleep and actually take full phone calls just like at work. No rest for the Wicked!

[Summer]

How lucky you are to be a lucid dreamer, Thorquest! I have been trying to become one for years with no luck yet!

Only you will be able to tell if you had a prophetic dream showing you parts of your future, at least that is how it has always seemed to me. If you get the gut feeling that your dream about the protestors was a dream about the future, then chances are, it was. It may also be just your fears showing themselves up again though. I suppose we will have to see which one is true later on.

Last night I dreamt that a good friend and ex-manager of mine had opened up another exotic dancer club. And me and my daughter Lizz were both working there. I was acting as if I owned the place, and would do whatever I pleased whenever I pleased, rather than follow the rules completely all of the time which was upsetting the other dancers. I was also not all made up on time, and would constantly miss my stages because I felt I wasn't completely ready to perform, but kept getting away with it easily, without any repercussions. I always enjoy having dreams about dancing again, as sometimes I really miss it. It is very surprising that my oldest daughter was also a dancer in my dream, as she would never do anything like that in real life, even though my youngest daughter did.
