Anyone Up For Some Dream Interpretation?

[JCnMe]

Great explanation (((Nom)))…

((((ready))))…the " going through the dark halls of the school and then you leading the group to Jesus"… is saying this is a lesson for you(the school setting) and although you all perhaps did not completely understand at the time everything you were going through(finding your way in the dark)- the culmination and realization of it all happened when you stepped up and out of the confusion into the next level of understanding…Jesus then visited you-He sees in you a leader who will help others find their way out of the darkness into His light/Presence…the chalice is a special bond and promise between you- and signifies a “calling” …hope this helps (((hugs))) God Bless

 

[JCnMe]

((((((Bridge and Nom))))))…the way ((Bridge’s ))spiritual help uses names- I would be more apt see “Stone” as symbolizing something “written in stone”- or “not written in stone”…if it had implied rock- more than likely the name would have been Rock Hudson or Wayne “The Rock” Johnson or the movie " The Rock" would have shown up etc etc… the lights not coming on -would imply a lack of understanding- "in the dark " about something…if a dream or dream theme had been repeating and the dreamer was over thinking the dream getting off-track…- this would be one way of saying so…usually you’ll find a very literal and somewhat humorous way of putting things together- but each person develops their own rhythm with their angels and spiritual help- so while dream interpretation books may offer some standard universal meanings…water/spirituality, house/you etc… you’ll find that most of those in Spirit- never read the books…LOL…once you become more aware of this type of communication- you’ll realize that often even something that seems like random thoughts has a message once you clear away the “noise”…and that’s what dream interpretation does- it helps to see through all the “noise”…

(((((((CB Catholic)))))) Perfect…. I think you understood perfectly what the dream was saying((((hugs)))… it’s the inner beauty that counts

oops- should have been Duane"the Rock" Johnson…)

(((Bridge)))) and ((all))… you are very much in touch with your dreams and how Spirit speaks to you-- the “names” that have meanings rather than the personna is how you will be able to identify “who” is the author of the message…most spiritual path messages are from angels or Divinity

Hi JCnME (((((JCnME))))). That is an interesting way to look at it. In my dreams, especially early in this process (going back almost 2 years now), i had dreams where it seemed we (usually my mother and myself) were in a doctor’s office or a hospital. I am reminded especially of a dream where my mother and i went to a doctor’s office in order to watch tv there for some reason, and then we started watching a scene where a bride was being led into a pool by a priest (as though she had to pass through cleansing water first in order to be ready for the groom). My impression, one that has evolved over time following this and similar dreams, was that i was being shown, in a symbolic way, a recap of the healing that had taken place that day or at least recently. Thus a Healing Spirit. Perhaps i could post one of those “healing” dreams. I have one in mind, one of the earliest dreams and the first in which a “doctor” was mentioned.

…if you see numbers-especially times…you will be able to find your answer/ message- in chapter and verse- you might have to do some footwork for the exact book- but once you find it you’ll know it…often chapter and verse is “mirrored” so the numbers could be reversed… example …2:14 could also be 14:2…as I said- you’ll know it when you see it-remember these messages come from LOVE-there is nothing sinister in them- if you allow fears etc to be injected- your message will be distorted…the good news is dreams with messages will repeat in some manner- until you get the message…and then the dreams will change to the next message…

I haven’t had any chapter and verse dreams, of if so i completely missed the meaning of it. But oh yes, as to messages repeating i have found that to be true in my case…though i have noticed that at times it seems a new dream doesn’t come along until the message (or at least some of the message) has been understood from the previous dream.

(((Bridge)))) the car is you… if you are not driving yourself- someone else is calling the shots in your life-… the train/bus (commercial travel) etc- means simply you are along for the ride with like-minded people seemingly going in the same direction…

In one of my more recent dreams i had gotten into a car and this time i was actually driving (most other times my father was driving or else a woman, a woman who i still haven’t been able to get a handle on who she is) but i was driving very badly, almost hitting pedestrians and swerving this way and that to avoid this object and that object…it is my sense that the vehicles in my dreams represent being “driven” toward some goal, and that when i try to drive myself everything goes awry; but i also think there are two distinct uses of vehicles in my dreams, one where i am in the vehicle (usually as a passenger) and the other where the vehicle is only seen from the outside. Often, if not always, in those latter instances the vehicle appears to be parked with no one inside. In those cases they seem to represent a guidepost to where i should allow myself to be driven, to the path i should take. I would have to go back and review all the dreams with cars in them to be more certain of this, but that is my sense of it.

JCnMe says “the “names” that have meanings rather than the personna is how you will be able to identify “who” is the author of the message,” which is interesting. I’d never heard about that. In my dreams in general names don’t often enter into them. But with this in mind, is it too much to say that “Stone” could be read as “foundation”? (Peter “The Rock” upon which Jesus built the Church). Now we not only have True Light versus darkness, but true foundation vs. false foundation?

I thought along those lines too, but it just didn’t strike me as the true meaning. There was no “aha” moment. Of all the names that have come up in my dreams, i think this one has puzzled me most. Also, it seems to me that “sharon” might play a role and not just “stone”. As in “sharon/sharing” a stone, helping to lift a burden. And i should mention that more recently i had a 2nd Sharon Stone dream, which i will put after this post if i don’t fall asleep first (getting late here ).

And as you say about Hollywood stars worship: “that was true at one time to some extent but certainly not in recent years.” Could Sharon “Stone” appearing at your door be that she’s coming back to check on you, wondering where you’ve been? Now that you have a true foundation, the old one resurfaces to tempt you to return? Sharon Stone is often seen as “alluring.”

I like your thinking here and almost wish i could affirm it, but that hasn’t been my sense of it. I knew her mostly just as a name, much like a person who doesn’t follow sports would still know the name Michael Jordan (or any other big-time sports celebrity). There was never any attraction to her, thus no temptation.

Also, this was an early dream and now after many more dreams i have a much better feeling for where these dreams are going, where they are leading me. In fact, i am now seeing many of the early dreams in a totally different way, and some of the things that seemed inconsequential at the time now seem much more relevant.

An entry from a couple months ago of a dream-filled night and my analysis of those dreams, the 2nd of which “starred” Sharon Stone…(some of the dream and analysis i am omitting here because it won’t make sense without a lot of explanation)

1. had a lot of dreams last night and have trouble remembering any of them very well but will put down everything that comes to mind…what i recall: dad driving somewhere with me, apparently to go work at _____, but he then was calling [place of work] and saying that he had trouble remembering anything that morning, couldn’t remember his SSN (and some other things that i don’t recall), and i was thinking (or perhaps asking dad) why is he doing this, that they’ll end up retiring him, not letting him work again after hearing all these things…but the woman on the phone said a few things, one of which (the one thing i can remember now) was something about him taking an anti-septic or asking him if he had taken one yet…[a lot of this had to do with my father having had a seizure recently, but in my opinion not the “anti-septic” part]

then another dream (which actually may have come right before the above, come to think of it); we were at home (i guess, though nothing specifically reminded me of home or the neighborhood) and next door someone was washing a baby/infant? or letting him play in a little toy pool or something like that (i’m not sure if i actually saw him, but i remember seeing the “pool” and perhaps just knew what was happening without needing to be shown it), but then i saw a woman there with blonde hair and i was asking dad about her as we started to drive away somewhere, asking what he knew about her, what he thought about her; and he said that she was Sharon Stone, an insurance salesperson (?), that he had known her a long time ago (or perhaps he said he knew her about 20 years ago when she had been an insurance salesperson)…

there were more scenes, but those are the only ones i can recall at the moment and hopefully what i recall are the most important things from the dreams…but why anti-septic? and then a pool, and a baby being washed…baptized? and why Sharon Stone again? i had never been a “fan” of hers…but i’ll have to look back at the previous SS dream because i seem to recall that mother was saying that she (SS or someone who i had thought was SS the actress) was someone who worked as a…as a what? insurance salesperson? (looked up the first SS dream and it only mentioned that mom had said she worked with her at one time)…as i was laying in bed thinking about this i wondered if it could point to one of her movies…i wonder if any of her characters had worked in insurance but i have never really watched her movies, or can’t recall seeing her in a movie other than watching a few minutes of King Solomon’s Mines…i also remember seeing her in a Magnum PI episode but that’s about it…i don’t remember much else so maybe it does come down to her name being symbolic for something, as i had previously thought, but why insurance?..

as to anti-septic, i clicked on it with 1-Click Answers and what came up was “sepsis”, which is “a bacterial infection in the bloodstream or body tissues. This is a very broad term covering the presence of many types of microscopic disease causing organisms.” This brought to mind the dream where i was on a mountain with father and some woman (Alfa?) and she had tossed a ball into some place that was termed “blood” and she was afraid to go there to retrieve it, there was something in the “blood” that frightened her…was the dream saying that there is some kind of bacterial infection in my bloodstream (not necessarily sepsis but something analogous to it)?

just now (a few minutes after typing the above) i was looking at the newest Librovox audiobook reviews and clicked on one called The Lost City and the reviewer starts off by saying that the book is similar to King Solomon’s Mines…any message there in relation to the SS dream?

thinking about it some more, i think the message is clear that Sharon Stone is not meant to be thought of other than in a symbolic way as to the name, hence why it was pointed out in both dreams that she was not an actress but worked at something else…sharing a stone, sharing a burden, lifting up a stone? to uncover something or someone…related to the dream of the woman trying to pull open the cellar door? or was she trying to lift up a stone? (i never actually saw a door, for there is a hedge by their driveway so i could only see her stooping over trying to pull something open which i had assumed was a door…a stone door?)…the woman in this cellar door/chick [as in baby chickens] dream was also blonde although i didn’t have any sense of her being Sharon Stone…but why was a baby/infant being washed in this morning’s dream? who was the baby? symbolic? a part of me being washed, cleansed? baptized? also i should point out that my impression was that the baby/Stone were at the house west of us [east, west, north have played a role in my dreams]…

Dream #1: I was standing in a grove in a forest. I recognized the grove as one from a forest preserve that I often visited. In the distance I saw a woman with a white veil and a long blue gown. I knew it was the Virgin Mary. She said “You are to be a witness of the Holy Spirit.”

News. Either something you will hear, or were hearing (at the time). Either way it is something you should have paid attention to.

Then the scene of the dream changed and I was standing next to an inground concrete swimming pool with pure blue water. Reclining in a lawn chair beside the pool there was a thin bald man with *perfectly *

Choices. Large choices with large emotions. Either that you had presented before you at the time or would in the future (considering the time frame).

Dream #2. I was standing in pitch black darkness (it was strange to be dreaming of standing in darkness) and I put my hand in front of my face but couldn’t see it. Then I saw something glowing in front of me. It was a piece of paper, like a parchment. The parchment glowed green and I could see lettering on the page; it was a contract for me to sell my soul to the devil. I grabbed the parchment and suddenly a whicker basket appeared at my feet. I threw the parchment into the basket and then they both disappeared and I was in darkness again.

I think it is interesting that you write in a green font to describe this dream.

Then a brilliant white light appeared above my head, like a spotlight shining down on me. Everything around me was still pitch black. I looked up to try and see where the light was coming from, but the light moved with my head. No matter how I craned my neck to see the light, the source always stayed just out of my sight.

But then a mirror appeared before me. I could see myself *and *

the source of the light–It was a halo. Wherever I moved my head it stayed perfectly above me. I felt happy about that, but then the halo began to descend. I thought “No! No! Stay up there halo!” When the halo touched my head it became a wreath of laurel leaves (like those paintings of ancient Romans where the laurel leaves only circle around the back of the head). I wanted to see them so I took them off of my head but when I put them down in front of me, they had transformed into a marble white crown. The white crown was engraved with ionic pillars, two on one side and one on another. There also appeared to be white marble statues of people engraved on the crown. Somehow I knew that those were people in my life, or would be in my life, and that somehow they would make me very sad. That’s when the dream ended.

At this time of your life darkness was at the center, with an emotional response to the consequences of this darkness. That of, selling your soul. Or maybe it was an underlying fear, or even reality. Light was something you saw as behind you, something lost? Forward from this time of darkness was a time of conquest over the darkness (the laurel leaf crown). You saw the crown as something to remove. Others saw, or you feared they saw, it as cold white stone, not alive as the green leaves. (They did not understand? You did not think it was deserved?) In future, you are able to look back and see that all the time, the light was there (the halo on your head).

Hi everyone, I have many spiritual dreams. Most I can discern myself, but there was a period of time that I was having “twilight” dreams. These are dreams that come just as I was falling asleep and are very vivid and stand out strongly from my normaly intense dreams. Two that stand out most and I have had some guidence by a confessor as well, I’ll run by you all.

The first dream I see a flash of a bust of a young man. I take this to be an angel. Then I am standing on a hill overlooking the Vatican. Everything is in flames, even the air is burning, except for the Vatican and St. Peter’s, which is bathed in an ivory light, almost glowing. Fear sets in, then I see a black eagle fly overhead as a shield appears in front of me. The shield is tall, has four squares painted on the front in yellow and white like a checker board. Then the black eagle flys overtop of the shield and begins to land on it. As it does, it becomes part of the shield like a coat of arms. Then the dream end with me waking up.

In another dream, an angel and I are sitting on a stone fence overlooking a grassy valley. There is a shepherd boy and sheep in the distance. The angel looks at me and says “Behold, David counted his sheep and found they have multiplied”. The dream ends.

I have some idea’s about these, but would like to hear what you all think. Thanks, Tim

Hi Tim, thanks for sharing these dreams. You have given us some very interesting and very complex puzzles to try to unravel (or rather, to try and take a shot in the dark at ). As to the first dream, could it be that you were somehow connected to the angel? Seeing what the angel is seeing? That you were given an “angelic” view of the current state of affairs? A view that showed the Church is under severe attack? Possibly under attack by whatever the eagle represents? Could the eagle then be symbolic for the US and its current President? As in, a black eagle = Barack Obama as president of the US and thereby the dream might be related to how a majority of Catholics voted him into office in spite of what some/many would argue to be his anti-Catholic values? As to the shield, you wrote that the shield was in front of you…did you have a feeling it was connected to you in some way? That possibly you were being called upon to take up this shield? If the colors of the shield had been yellow and red or yellow and blue i might guess symbolic for the Swiss Guard. Why yellow and white though? Perhaps golden light, white light which could be thought of as positive colors symbolically. But then the black eagle coming to rest upon the shield and then merging into the shield…a darkness merging, blending, seeping into the very fabric of the shield? Again, perhaps symbolic for Pres. Obama and his followers, especially Catholic followers, how his policies and how his influence over a large number of Catholics could have wide ranging effects far beyond America, could work its way toward the heart of the Church unless there is more resistance.

When you awoke from the dream, how did you feel? Were you afraid? Afraid but hopeful, that perhaps part of the dream had left you with a feeling of optimism despite the flames? (that perhaps the eagle seemed to represent something good, something hopeful, or that while everything else was going up in flames the heart of the Church, represented by the Vatican and St Peter’s, still remained untouched by the destruction). Or did you feel afraid and dejected?

In the second dream, there really isn’t anything that comes to mind except questions. Do you understand David to mean King David? If so, what would the sheep represent? In other words, why would David be named and not Jesus? And why a boy David rather than David as a man? Also do you remember what color the sheep were (i hate to keep harping on colors, especially light/dark colors, but i have found them to be important in my dreams)? And did you think there was any significance in the stone wall, or that it was simply there as a common feature in pastoral life? Had you been reading about David around the time of the dream? If so, do you remember what you read? What the import of it was?

Hi Bridge, This is what I got so far. I had these dreams a couple of years ago during a very spiritual struggle in my life and sought alot of guidance of priests during this time.

When I woke from the dream of the Vatican, I was fearful of the Church being part of that scenery. When I told my wife about it, she then pointed out the Vatican was not burning, untouched and that eased my fears of the Church.

A priest once mentioned that the eagle often is used to depict John (the Evangelist, I believe), but I have also found the black eagle to represent the Holy Roman Empire, Austria, and Charlemagne. I have since found the colors of the shield to be the colors of the Vatican flag. The shield was passive in the dream, standing about 20’ in front of me to the left so I could still see the basilica. The flash of the angel in the begining I’m very unsure of who it was.

The dream about King David as a boy reminds me of the cenus he took and was punished for. It was a present dream with bright green fields and white sheep. The angel was very tall. It was like a life long companion and the angel seemed to be sharing something with me and was comforting. David comes up alot in my spiritual life for some reason.

That is about all I got so far, thanks for your (name removed by moderator)ut. Tim

Well looks like i might have been a couple years off with the Obama analysis, unless of course it was a prophetic dream

 

[Bridge]

JCnMe had mentioned about how names used symbolically in dreams may actually point to who the Author of the dream is. This led me to think especially of the following dream, which i believe was the first time that i became aware of one of my dreams having to do with healing and where a physician was at least implicitly mentioned. This dream occurred early on and i was still struggling to understand the symbolic nature/language, as evidenced by how much (and how dramatically) my interpretations kept changing over time. Also this dream, and the analysis that i made over the days and weeks following it, reinforces me in my belief that it is a good idea to work through a dream by yourself for a while before perhaps turning to others; to grapple with it, to think about it prayerfully and quietly…in short, to allow the Holy Spirit to guide you to a better understanding of any message that may be contained therein.

Another thing that stood out while reading over the dream/analysis again is that i noticed i was careless with my initial write-up of the dream, that i left out some things because i thought they were extraneous. Eventually i learned that i needed to describe my dreams in as much detail as possible, not leaving anything out no matter how trivial it might have seemed. I believe this is a good and perhaps essential practice, for what may seem inconsequential at first may later turn out to be pivotal.

(Again, things in brackets are insertions i’ve added to what i originally wrote in order to hopefully add some clarity where needed.)​

1. i was on an airplane and Rush Limbaugh was on it too, then he and another man jumped out of the plane, as though this was something out of an adventure movie

[not that i had the impression i was actually watching something on tv, as i have in some other dreams, but just that the way they jumped into the river reminded me of something you might see in an action movie. Also to give a little more detail here: the plane was flying very low and very slow, there was a large opening on the side of the plane where Rush and someone else jumped out, the type of opening you might expect to see in a plane for paratroopers as opposed to a commercial jet]

…later others on board felt they had to escape from the plane for some reason and did so by also jumping out…but then the next thing i remember i was standing on the shore of a lake and i looked across it to where there was a large waterfall and i could see people one after another tumbling over the falls and i knew that not all of them made it over safely…i don’t recall if i also had jumped out of the plane, or how i had gotten to shore, but then i saw Rush again, we were both inside a building and he was somewhat banged up from his adventure and i guess i was too because he asked if i was going to see Olympia Snow since that was who he was going to see or else had already seen [she is a senator, but in the dream she was a doctor]…i told him that i was worried about seeing her because she might not like us * because of our politics for i remembered that she was considered to be at least somewhat liberal…​

upon waking i tried to make sense of this dream, wondering if it was just a silly dream of was there more to it, and then it came to me that there was something the dream was trying to tell me…and i think it is this: that i am flying (or that my soul is flying) so to speak, low to the ground, but i cannot fly higher as long as i concern myself with worldly things, such as politics…when Limbaugh and the others left i had a chance to free myself from earthly connections that were holding me back but instead i returned to him, checking up on him to see if he was okay and if there was anything i could do to help…much like i have recently returned to following politics, to see how things are going and perhaps on a subconscious level believing that maybe i can “will” things to how i would like them to go…this is wrong, i now believe, because we should not seek to do [even if we are powerless to actually do anything] the work of the Holy Spirit…in any event, the thing about Olympia Snow is what really convinces me that there is more to this dream than simply a dream…why was she in the dream? she had never been anything more than a name that i’ve heard a few times and i hadn’t even heard her name mentioned in who knows how long…so why her? well it dawned on me that the name Olympia was what mattered here…that was the message…i didn’t want to go to her i think because i am too attached to politics, to the world, and until i let loose of worldly attachments i cannot possibly scale the heights of the Spiritual Mountain (Olympia/Mt Olympus, the name serving as a reference point/trigger/symbol in the dream)…that is why the plane was flying low to the ground, that is why i returned to check up on how politics (as symbolized by Limbaugh) was going, that is why i was afraid to go up to see Olympia (and i remember now that it was “up”, that her office was located on a floor above us)…for i cannot go up while my attention is divided, for surely i will keep falling…it’s only once i put aside sports and politics and such that i can truly be free to lift my soul upwards…

[continued…]*

 

[Bridge]

–[this next entry came after i had quite a few more dreams to reflect upon and also apparently after i had learned how to spell the senator’s last name ]

thinking more of my past dreams…why Rush? i had thought it had something to do with politics, a warning to stay away from politics…but now i wonder if it is the name itself that was the key, like with some of the others such as Olympia Snowe and Shepard Smith…Rush? that there is an urgency?

if this is so…then perhaps i need to reinterpret the dream…i often wondered why the dream showed Rush and someone else jumping out of the plane into the river…mostly i think i brushed it off as a meaningless part of the dream…but if Rush was there simply as a symbolic need to “rush” then what could this part of the dream mean? that there is a need to “rush” into a stream or river…to rush into what? waters? cleansing waters? to be cleansed? but he leapt…a leap of faith?..and with a companion…a leap of faith together with the Holy Spirit? to rush together into the healing waters? could that connect to the dream that showed the bright blue medicine? and the other dream that showed someone (possibly myself) laying down in water but then being nearly eaten up by a gator? so is there danger that could come from this cleansing? Rush was badly bruised and cut up when i saw him later in the dream (he was covered with bandages at any rate and i think one of his arms was in a sling)…and he asked if i was going to see Olympia Snowe (who in the dream was a physician and was upstairs on another floor: i remember looking upstairs and seeing a yellow door when Rush mentioned going to see her)…going to heaven? Olympia representing Mt Olympus which represents Heaven? to be healed by a Heavenly Healer? so was the dream showing what could be done if i only jumped in all the way? that i would be healed…but also that there would be some pain and some wounds in terms of the dark parts of me being cut away as part of the healing process?..perhaps that is what is holding me back from fully jumping in, from fully leaping into the cleansing waters…that i fear the pain…or rather, that the dark parts in me, the reptiles within [this thing about reptiles has to do with something St Teresa of Avila wrote, about reptiles outside the mansion of our soul or maybe inside the lower mansions, i don’t remember exactly now], fear being cut away or changed and so they cling to the sides of the plane (so to speak) and prevent me from jumping into the water…

to sum up my thoughts on the dream…the “me” in the dream didn’t jump in, but stayed on the plane…perhaps because i was afraid or ignorant of what the river represented…and later when i saw Rush again he was asking if i was going to see the doctor…but i was nervous about it for some reason and made up an excuse about her perhaps not liking our politics…so perhaps there is a part of me that fears being healed…a part of me that would be destroyed in the healing…or more than that, there is the feeling that the darkness within me, the sickness, the reptilian disease, that it has such a grip on me that to remove it would destroy me as well or at least severely weaken me…in other words that we are so tightly joined together now it is hard to say where it ends and i begin…perhaps it is this fear which i must overcome to be fully healed?

i think also of a later dream where my parents and i were covered with ants…and again i was afraid of being hurt…i had started to brush them off but then father said “don’t worry, they aren’t biting us, they are removing the dirt from us”…removing the darkness?​

also i had almost forgotten that in the dream where i was walking up a hill and at the top of the hill i looked out and saw beautiful blue lakes off in the distance, that Rush had been in that dream as well

[continued…]

 

[Bridge]

i was thinking more about my dreams…and i thought about Rush in the dreams…perhaps, i thought, meaning that i needed to rush, to speed up the process…but then, could it not be the other way? that it is a warning that i am rushing too much…after all, in the first dream he fell into the water and then later i saw that the river became a waterfall…perhaps a warning that rushing in too soon will lead to a dangerous downfall…and when i saw Rush later in the dream he was all bandaged up…so could that be the message? part of the message?..as i was thinking along these lines i remembered another dream that had Rush in it…i had neglected i think to insert this when i wrote about the dream initially because i thought it was extraneous at the time…all i remembered was that Rush was there in the dream but i didn’t recall anything too specific except that he was also going up the hill with me (or rather i remembered seeing him at some point there) and so i didn’t bother putting it here…but another thing i had neglected to put down as i didn’t think it was relevant to the “essential” message of the dream, was that there had also been a woman in the dream: she quickly ran up toward the top of the hill and then suddenly was tumbling down the hill [off to the side and not in the direction she had been heading]…it all happened in an instant [like watching an old comedy bit where things are sped up for comedic effect] and i thought it was just a whimsical scene that my imagination inserted into the dream…but now i wonder…could she have been a warning? that, again, rushing too quickly to try to get to the top, to try to join with the Holy Spirit, is fraught with danger and it is best to take it slow and steady…

that would make more sense for me since i have always had a tendency to rush things…perhaps the most important thing i learned from exercising is that when you rush, when you are in too much of a hurry to reach your goals, that is when you are most likely to injure yourself and to set yourself further back than when you started…and yet it took a long time for me to learn this lesson and throughout the first couple years i kept nursing minor injuries and it got to the point that when i wasn’t rehabilitating some injury then i was worried, for it seemed that something wasn’t right, that perhaps (in a superstitious sort of way) some really serious injury was just waiting to spring itself on me…in fact, i’ve come to think that the years spent working out (physical healing) were a sort of precursor to the spiritual healing…setting the table, so to speak, and teaching me some good lessons, that it taught me much that i needed to know in order to more safely ascend the spiritual slopes…for i have learned to be more patient when it comes to reaching my goals instead of having a “live your life in one day” mentality…also it has given me confidence that i can reach goals, that i can accomplish things (with the help of the Holy Spirit) by sticking with it and turning these physical and spiritual workouts into a lifelong habit instead of viewing them only as a short-term fix…but perhaps i’ve needed to be reminded that it takes time and to be patient and to just keep at it and don’t worry about trying to accomplish this or that, trying to do it by this date or that date…keep working at it…slowly lay the foundation…and slowly build up from there​

i just had an “oh my goodness” type of moment…today i was prayerfully meditating about my dreams of late and about whether the dreams were telling me to “rush” or not to rush…i kept asking which was it? i had tentatively come to the conclusion that they were telling me not to rush, that there was a great danger in rushing and that perhaps i was too near to that danger…but i wasn’t completely sure and may have switched positions tomorrow or the next day…so tonight on a whim i decided to do some more Homeric Greek (i had already done some vocab review and review of previous work) and i turned to the current lesson (#21) where i had already completed the first 8 questions yesterday…so i did question #9 and then came to #10…and this is what the Greek translated to: do not hasten, in order that you might not fall…hasten and fall are two new vocabulary words…i had studied them along with about 10 other words but didn’t pay much attention to them and didn’t connect them together in any way…so when i saw this i was like, wow, that just answered my question perfectly

[looking back on what i have written i now believe that i gotten something wrong in my analysis, that in fact i had gone into the water and had gone over the waterfall…why then didn’t the dream show me doing these things? why an immediately shift (apparently) between being on the plane and then being on the shore? Something like this happened in another dream and i believe i know why. That if the dream had shown me jumping into the river and starting to go over a waterfall, that i would have awakened at that point out of fear, or at least that there was a good chance i would have woken up, and so that part was not shown in order that i wouldn’t miss the 2nd half of the dream/message.

I think the dream was showing that i keep falling because i keep rushing, trying to speed up the healing process, trying to guide myself instead of allowing myself to be driven/flown (as represented by the plane) to the destination. And actually, i think the dream did show me going into the water but from a 3rd person POV, for i think Rush represented the impatient side of me and the companion perhaps a Guardian Angel going along to help me survive the fall. But then i was shown other people tumbling over the falls, and then somehow knowing that not all of them made it safely, perhaps was a warning that i may survive the next fall.]

I had a dream last night that has slightly confused me; Firstly I remember being cuddled by my parents (who are both deceased), next I was in a room prostrate on the floor before a crucifix then both my hands and feet started to bleed and I saw the marks of the stigmata, I also started bleeding from my side.
I was taken from place to place and I ended up in a room where a doctor gave me an injection and I asked ‘why?’ and he said ‘It was to stop the pain’, I smiled and said ‘because of that I will suffer more’ and I felt the marks of the scourging on my back.

At that point I woke up and it was so real to me I actually checked my hands and feet!

StarMaiden…this was a very special visit and blessing…first the gift of seeing your parents and of feeling the love of your parents around you and then the acknowledgment from the Holy Spirit that you reflect and emulate Christ…hope this helps- God Bless

Bridge- honey- you are all over the board with your dreams- usuall the messages are very simple and straightforward- there might be alot of drama- but usually the more drama- the simpler the message…if you will just lay them out as you recall them with as much detail as possible-no self interpretation along the way- perhaps I or someone else can nutshell the message for you-not every little detail has meaning-sometimes it’s just for effect or impact to help remember but basically “noise”… once you have the overview by clearing away the “noise”- the details that have personal meaning will fall into place…FYI-water is always your spirituality and what you received when you found the greek “Aha” words was a validation - to confirm what you already felt was right-…you’ll find more of those as you go along if you quiet yourself long enough to listen once you’ve put it 'out there" for the angels to help…

Having heard many years ago - that we are not supposed to believe in dreams, I think I once promised God that I wouldn’t recount or tell my dreams. So, it’s VERY hard to reply here - and yet NOT give details on my own experiences. But it is hard to know how to separate thoughts in our sleep - perhaps induced by daily experiences - from something more. I don’t think we are supposed to believe in dreams, as taught by our Faith. ???
