A recent Peacock and Paisley Blog reader has an interesting blog where she discusses her dreams and possible interpretations of them. Some intense dreams, Aice!
Our dreams are one way of internally working out problems and communicating solutions to our conscious mind that we were either too stubborn or obtuse to get while we were awake. Dreams can also be a way of receiving premonitions, or of remembering things from this life or previous lives.
Some people say that reincarnation is a real b!tch. Well, sort of. I think it depends on your perspective on it. It can be a great way to grow, to learn, to develop, to harness your energy, to make amends for past karma, to heal relationships. If you have a lot to work on, or if you have chosen to really “power pack” this lifetime in order to accomplish a lot…. whew….. It’s a lot. You chose this, to a great extent.
Dream interpretation can help you leap ahead, to come up with your personal version of E=MCsquared. Remembering your dreams is like stumbling across just the right information on the internet. It’s like a friend sending you an email with the information you need that you hadn’t told her you were looking for. It’s like synchronicity, but sometimes a little more confusing on the surface.
However, those apparently confusing dream symbols often hold the most meaning. Once you allow them to “soak in” and you process them, they can hold 3 or even 4 different layers of answers. The meaning behind dreams is so rich! One way to access this very creative marriage of your brain and soul is to write down your dreams. Make your own dream dictionary, and you’ll start to see the meaning of your dreams. There will often be a pattern that’s not obvious to anyone else, but if you look for the emotional feeling you have when you encounter those dream symbols, you’ll be able to do your own dream analysis.
There are lots of different types of dreams and lots of different theories on why we dream. What are your theories? What types of dreams do you have? Any recurrent ones? Let us know here at the Peacock and Paisley Blog in the comments section.
I’ve been so inspired by Aice’s blog, that I’m hereby offering free dream interpretations for this week. Because sometimes, a dream or series of dreams is so overwhelming or so outright weird that the answers aren’t obvious to ourselves, but can be more readily understood if someone else does a dream interpretation for you. Sometimes, you need someone with a little extra intuition and empathic ability to help you tap into the answers your soul and spiritual guides are giving you. You could call that person your dream coach.
So, get your free dream interpretation here by writing down your dream in the comments section, or if you want to keep it private, email it through our contact page. I’ll answer as quickly as possible, and I’ll probably need to ask you a few questions in the process.
Namasté!!
I’m really glad it helped!! Job grew as a person and really evolved spiritually, so that’s a good comparison. It sucked while he was going through it, but he ended up in a much better place by the end, and if I remember correctly, God returned his riches.
I bet both you and your daughter have been going through separation and growth pangs. Hard to do at the same time with the person you’ve been closest to for such a long time. Sounds like creating and maintaining connections with other people are important to you (going back out to get your phone) — which is very healthy both for you and for your relationship with your daughter. You don’t want to smother her! That’s a good thing. It’s also good that she wants you around her and that she’s not embarrassed to have you around her friends – that is extremely cool. Does Gina like your Libra boyfriend? Is it possible that she kept driving because the situation with your boyfriend made her feel out of control, but driving gives a sense of accomplishment and control and growing up?
I’m glad you are enjoying your relationship with your boyfriend! Having a partner is very healthy and balancing. It sounds like it might be time to investigate other people, though, especially since you were very intrigued by the Leo.
Have you done any clearing or feng shui work in and around the area where you broke your foot/ankle twice?
Thanks – I really enjoyed your interpretation. I actually feel very validated by it. I was starting to feel like Job in the bible, after all the horrible things that happened to him as a test from God. Most people turned away from him when he was down. But then he came back stronger than ever. That is how I remember the story — I don’t read the Bible on a regular basis but I was raised a Catholic and it was part of our education.
It is really interesting about possession. That was the feeling I got about Gina. She couldn’t even explain what happened, and she usually drives very well. She definitely had a strange look on her face right before the accident. And then there was the fact that she wouldn.t go home, but kept driving against my wishes. And she was knowingly driving without her driving permit, which I found out two days later when someone called me to say they had her wallet and her permit.
What led up to that accident. Gina was supposed to go with her friends that night for icecream, but that fell through. So she kept asking me to go with her, and let her practice her driving. I finally gave in to her — of course I wish I had just stayed home — I would still have my wonderful car, and I could have gone back to work. I reaily loved my car – a Toyota Avalon – in perfect condition, and low mileage. Now I am driving a horrible Saturn that my ex lent me.
Before I broke my foot in November, Gina and I had an argument driving home. She was screaming at me. I think she was mad because I invited my boyfriend to help supervise her 16th birthday party, which was only 2 days away. At the time she was always angry at me for having a boyfriend. After my husband left there was no man in my life for 6 years. She was very jealous of him after having me to herself all that time. I just wanted to have another adult around – while she partied with her friends. Anyway she stormed into the house, and I followed. Then I realized that I had left my cell phone in the car and that annoyed me too. So I stormed back out of the house, twisted my ankle. I couldn’t walk, and Gina had to come out and help me fo get back inside. I called my foot doctor (Coincidentally II had broken that same foot last year in November in front of my house).
Anyway, the rest is history. I hope that I filled in some gaps for you.
PS You are so right about my Libra boyfriend – he is very competitive. And he has to be constantly doing something. And he constantly needed my company – which got to be annoying, because I was running around helping him do tasks which was not my idea of fun!. My sister is a Libra too. They both act like they have ADHD. Fortunatley he has made new friends and I get some time away from him. At first I was jealous that he spent so much time with them, and he knew it. But now I’m glad he spends more time with them and less time with me. Otherwise I think we would not be together now.
What was the argument that you and your daughter had right before you broke your ankle?
About the fateful car ride from the icecream place: it cost you alot to ignore your inner feelings/gut/intuition! Possession, or spiritual hijacking as some people refer to it, is very real. There may be a spirit around you that enjoys you being disabled, that feeds off your depression, and thus arranges incidents to set that up.
However, again, what were you and your daughter talking about before the crash? Why did she want icecream? What was going on between the two of you that evening and/or week?
How we feel is how we feel, and unless we have an imbalance in our body chemistry or a brain that’s essentially deformed, those feelings help us know what to change. You just have to pinpoint exactly what is making you feel what way.
I love the way your values are shifting and you are wielding the power from within yourself!!! That’s great!! The symbol of the phoenix is awesome.
It sounds like you had been refusing to let go of some things that were in the way of you becoming you! You are freed in many ways! What does your daughter think of all this change?
About astrology, I love astrologyzone.com. And according to Susan Miller, the Aries~Leo match is fabulous, Pisces~Leo match is “dynamic” and a great growth situation, but will take extra effort. Aries~Libra: “your lover will either complete you or compete with you — there’s nothing in between.” Pisces~Libra: could be ok, sex is great, emotionally if Libra slows down and nurtures you, could be great. Adapting Susan’s guide to love matches to you and your daughter, since you have a close dynamic, gives us the “head-butt” reading for Aries~Scorpio. For Pisces~Scorpio: “an invigorating pairing. Scorpio will expand your entire spectrum of feeling. Scorpio lights up your house of higher thought, so together you can explore the serious questions in life, such as: Why are we here? What is the role of religion? Is it possible to have more than one true love? Scorpio is especially spiritual, something Pisces appreciate.”
Your feeling that some positive force is guiding you along could be very inline with what’s happening for you astrologically. I recommend Susan’s astrologyzone.com as a place to start. She also does personal charts/readings. This is definitely a time of big change for many people! If you check out her site, let me know what you think and how it goes.
To me, it seems like your boyfriend’s dream is less significant than the amazing transformation you’re undergoing. The good part about his dream is that A: you were trying, and B: he seems to be waiting for you and understanding that it’s a bit of a journey.
Stay in touch and let me know how things are going!
Namasté!
I have had a lot of interesting, unusual, and mysterious experiences in my life.
I am going to tell you about a dream that my boyfriend had about me. At first I felt angry when he described it, but it stuck in my mind as being significant. He said that in his dream he was standing at the top of a steep hill, I think he said it was a street, and from there he was looking down at me. I was at the bottom trying to come up the hill to him. Why was I angry about his dream? Because at first I thought he was “looking down” on me in a negative way. But then, the more I thought about it, it seemed like a warning to me, coming through him.
Several weeks after this dream , I have had “a series of unfortunate events” (to quote from the book). First it started with me twisting my ankle right outside the front door of my house after my teenaged daughter and I had an argument. I had broken my ankle and 2 other bones in my foot. I was home from work for 6 weeks. I’m an art teacher by the way.
During that time a terrible depression came over me (I suffer from this periodically). So I went to see my psychiatrist right away to get control of it. Even with several different medications it is just now lifting (8 months it later).! I finally returned to work, and that same evening I let my daughter talk me into driving my car to get icecream, even though I did not want to go. On the way home she refused to stop driving and she ended up losing control of my beautiful car and running into a tree. It was weird because it was almost like she was suddenly possessed before the crash. My beautiful car was totaled,. We had to go to the hospital. She didn”t have her permit with her, but I convinced the police that she had it and must of lost it during the accident. Now I had to miss more work. My disability got cut off, I couldn’t return to work, until the upcoming school year, and now I am living on a very limited income. I can’t pay my bills, and checks are bouncing!!!
Actually as awful as the whole situation sounds, sometimes I find it somewhat amusing, although, in the beginning , it was terrifying. Now I feel calmer, and I feel like somehow things are going to work out. This whole situration has been so drastic and life changing.- like being on a runaway train!
Now that the black cloud is lifting, I feel like I have gotten more in touch with my true creative self because all my material baggage is being taken away. I don’t know where this is going to lead , but I am feeling more positive. I feel like some force is steering me in a different direction from the one I was heading to — which seemed like the safer, more practical direction that most people would want. I feel like I am evolving into a whole different person. Most people think thqt I am a complete nutcase! Only my daughter, her friends, and my boyfriend treat me like I’m normal!
I started a new part-time job as a petsitter/dog walker, and find that I really enjoy it. I am writing more and drawing more. I am starting to feel more powerful, although I have nothing that a normal middle class person would need to feel worthwhile.
It has been quite a trip. I think that I now realize how strong I really am. Even my whole physical presence has changed – I’m thin, I’m healthy, I look attractive, I still have a man in my life, after being separated from my husband for 6 years. Finally we will be getting divorced.
Really when I think about all that has happened I think of myself symbolically as a phoenix:, comsumed in an infernal, only to re-emerge stronger!
Does astrology matter in all this? I’m an Aries/Pisces (March 21), my daughter is a Scorpio (Nov. 15/16 – born at midnight), my boyfriend is a Libra (Sept. 25), and my soon to be ex is a Sagitarius/Capricorn – Dec. 21. And…to make things more interesting I found a message on SU yesterday from a Leo male who was texturally roaring at me, ” Will you please pay attention to me!!!!!!!!” It turned out that I had invited him to join but I don’t even know him, or how or why he was in my email contacts? I think something is brewing here. He sent his picture and he is quite handsome too, and speaks French. But I digress…
I mulled this dream over a while in case any other answer came to me, but I’m sticking with my first insight: If that murderer is your secret admirer, lock the door or get out now!
Your dream sounds like war, a concentration/refugee camp, ancient South American rituals.
Your dream seems more like a past life memory than a symbolic dream. However, we frequently come back with some of the same people from previous lives in order to repair karma or wrap up unresolved issues. Sometimes that resolution is as simple (ha! easier to say than do!) as walking away from someone who is not good for us, no matter how much we love or want them.
The knife-wielder in this dream has an intense interest in you alright, but also an intense interest in everyone around him or her. When you kill someone, whether it’s a person, fish, animal, bug, etc., you take/absorb some of their spiritual energy. Some people get high from that. They’re the ones that love to hunt even though they’re not physically hungry. The murderer in your dream also seems very angry. They want to cut people’s hearts out. And they’re very specific about it; they’re not rampaging blindly. They’re targeting you. They also get off on emotional terrorism. They feed on other people’s fear and anguish “Aice, you’re next!”
So, you might be better off asking yourself who in your life is like the following:
**angry, and especially angry with you, even if there isn’t an obvious reason for them to be
**underneath that, hurt which is buried deep inside, and which may have nothing to do with you
**violent, physically or emotionally (remember cutting people’s hearts out)
**there’s something about them that’s very threatening (big knife), even if you can’t pinpoint it
What you describe in your dream is a psychopath, or a Maya priest. But it’s interesting that they know your name. Was it your name in this life that they were calling, or just “your name”? This is also a clue. Names and words are very powerful spiritually. That’s why the Jews never say the real name of God. That is why in English an incantation is referred to as a “spell”. The exact words, the exact order, the exact name. A name is like a spiritual GPS (locator device). What is the murderer’s name? If you don’t already know it, try to find it with lucid dreaming.
You kept finding ways to hide in your dream, but s/he kept after you. You must confront this, perhaps turn and stand up and face the challenge. Gather spiritual helpers beside, in front, and all around you, and attack the murderer. Defend yourself instead of just running. You have the strength and with the help of your angels, guides, and God, you can defend yourself and eliminate this attacker.
Regarding reincarnation, remember that the books of the Bible were carefully chosen by a politically-motivated group of men who had an agenda and needed to manipulate a lot of people all at once. You may want to read some of the Gnostic Gospels and the Nag Hammadi text for more spiritual information. Jesus brought equality, love, and peace, which is often overlooked and under-practiced in Christianity.
From some of your other posts, it sounds like you would really like someone to be intensely interested in you, to love you, to search for you among all others (the Song of Solomon is one of my favorites; I bet you like it, too!). However, gentleness must accompany passion.
Be careful what you look for, because you will call it to you. I suggest readjusting the frequency of what and who you are calling to you. Remember to SPELL it out carefully.
Let me know what you think, and I hope this is helpful.
Here is my post about Reincarnation and Rebirth hope to know your insights… thanks
(^_^) thanks for mentioning my name on your post and linking over my dreams on wordpress blog
I was wondering knife also means someones has an intense interest on me … so what do you think?
