DREAM EXPLORATION/ INTERPRETATION READINGS |
 |
Dreams are one means that our guides and our subconscious mind resort
to in order to shed insight, teach us lessons and to show us what we need to
look at in our lives. Dreams can show us what changes we need to make in order to move forward to create the happiness, joy and prosperity that we seek.
Dream scenarios, images and scenes can be simple or complex. They can be literal, metaphorical or a combination of both. Some may even contain humorous images, cartoon, puns, songs, colors etc. They all have meaning and we can benefit from tuning in, listening and learning to become more aware of the many gifts and teachings that our dreams hold for us.

HERE ARE A FEW INTERPRETATIONS FOR SOME OF MY
OWN DREAMS AND SOME DREAMS OF VARIOUS CLIENTS!
A dream that comes to mind and stands out is a personal one I had some years ago. In the dream I was running on this track. There were people standing on the bleachers rooting for my success. When I woke up, I tried to figure out what the dream meant. I heard the phrase "It's time to get back on track." "Oh, so I'm supposed to get my life back on track," I said, figuring the dream was a symbol for getting my life on track. That's right isn't it?" I asked my guide.
"No," she said, the dream was not symbolic. It was literal. Your subconscious mind and guides are telling you to put your tennis shoes on and get back on the track. Literally. "Wow, I said. "So, I'm to start jogging again." The dream made perfect sense because I had not jogged in several months, and I usually jog several times a week. I listened to the dream and have been jogging or walking ever since.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A client of mine in a reading told me about a recurring dream she had of a little girl who was in the trunk of her car. She feared that the dream was telling her that someone was going to kidnap her grand-child and hide her in a trunk. With tears falling down her cheeks, she asked me to tune in. I closed my eyes and meditated for a few moments. I saw the image of a young girl about ten years old and she was singing.
"Did you love to sing when you were a little girl?" I asked the woman. A big grin lit up her face and she said,
"Oh, yes, when I was a little girl I had this big dream to be a singer. Everybody told me I had a beautiful soprano voice. How I wanted to be a star!" Then a look of sadness cave over her face. "But life got in the way. We were poor when I was little and when I grew up both my parents were both sickly. I stayed home and took care of them. I never married. My singing dream never manifested."
"That little girl in your trunk is you. She is your inner child. You locked this part of yourself away by stopping your singing. Your subconscious is telling you to let your inner child little girl out, and start singing again, even if only in the bathroom," I joked.

Dreams of death - Although they can rarely be a literal death that is going to take place, most of the time such dreams are messages announcing a symbolic death of some sort such as the death of a way of life, or thinking. An ending of an unhappy relationship or job can all be symbolized by images of death in dreams.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Dream From A Client - I was in an auditorium (my high school auditorium) and there was a guy talking on stage. He and I had a personal relationship... very close but I don't know who he is. And I don't know what he was talking about but the audience was captivated. And I was helping him somehow...though not in the limelight. I was standing in front of doors to the left of the stage (at audience level). I needed to get to the other side of the stage but I didn't want to walk across so I was going to go through the doors, downstairs, through a hall then back up to the other side of the stage (how it was laid out when I was in high school).
Dream Interpretation: I get the sense that this guy is not a literal man but rather a personification and projection of your own 'animus' or masculine component that Jungian Psychologists speak about. This is very common in our dreams and something the subconscious often resorts to. Most people think it's real men or women they are dreaming about. And while this can be the case sometimes, often the subconscious is personifying the masculine or feminine component of the dreamer. I highly suggest that you study and reread Man And His Symbols by C.G. JUNG. He gets into all of this. And the other Jungian psychologists whose articles are in the book cover some of the territory as well.
The man wants to have a personal relationship with you and I know that none of us can have a satisfying personal relationship with anyone until we have it with our own 'inner self.' This is part of the dance of the selves, the merging of the inner masculine components that Loretta Ferrier, Ph.d talks about in her awesome book, Dance of the Selves. I feel that the part of you that is helping him is you, your creative very deep and passionate female, who wants to and so adores your masculine and wants him to do his thing in the public.
Recall in your reading, I told you that I see you speaking in public so this element of the dream does not surprise me at all And the feminine is the muse who inspires and helps on the side like you do in this dream. She allows the man, or masculine side, to do 'the action' thing, manifesting and getting things done while she inspires, and feeds his creative energies, filling him with thoughts and words that help him to captivate the audience such as you saw this guy doing.
The feminine can have many agendas but she always knows that there are many different means and ways to get there, just as you did not move across the stage so as to interrupt what he was doing. So you took another area. That I call creative resourcefulness and we know how rich and plentiful you are with that, now do we not?
The client's dream continues... Before going through the doors I looked down at my right thumb. The thumbnail was loose and I peeled a layer right off. Or rather it came right off. It wasn't painful or bloody and there was a new nail underneath. It was kinda ugly and I remember kinda thinking "hmmmm." Then I went through the door and down stairs.
Dream Interpretation: This has to do with the REINVENTING YOURSELF that I talked about in your reading. And to insert some humor, your guides are giving you 'a thumb's up for the new choices you are making that are already a part of this new reinventing of yourself that is currently taking place.
The thumb is so important to the hand. If we did not have thumbs we could not do very much. So your thumb in the dream is letting you know that you have 'so much to do'. That it is loose and you remove the right thumb shows that the old you (thumb, getting things done, part of you that has been complacent not on a big roll such as you are destined for etc) is being removed like a thumb nail. That it's the right thumb points to your creative abilities that go along with the left brained masculine part of you. The creative side is also known as the right brain side of us. And the new thumb nail, is the new ABILITY and motivation you are going to have to get your thumbs in gear and get a lot done. I think I've heard that saying "Get your thumbs in gear." saying. And Thumbs up when Ebert likes a movie.
The removing of the thumb nail was not painful because this transition from the old to the new you will be a natural gentle transition. No pain or blood needed. The universe will open doors for you and magic and miracles will more a part in your life. Like your business taking off recently (I think you said you've had more sales the last week than in the last couple months from your businesses)
So your subconscious mind is having quite a time at showing you what all is going on and how old parts of you are being tossed, or removed, like the thumb nail, so the new can grow and take its place. It is now time for old worn out ideas, procrastination, etc. to be put to sleep.
The Dream Continues... Then I turned to go through the hall but instead I went through this door I hadn't noticed before. It was wooden and didn't fit the building (like a normal school door for instance). I found myself in a bathroom and thought "this is good.. I have to go anyway." So I went in a stall and started to go, but before I was done I got up and walked to the middle where there was a chair. I was trying to pull my tights up which were very awkward (as tights/hose can be) and ended up peeing a little on the chair. I was embarrassed because I'd left a puddle so I got some paper towels to clean it up. Then I decided I didn't want to be too obvious so I also wiped off the counters, etc. so it looked like I was just cleaning the bathroom.
Then a woman came in and was amazed that I was cleaning. She explained that this was her salon (not a bathroom after all) and that it was going to open soon and she was so happy I was helping make it look good. She was delighted and offered to pay me. She tried to give me money and I noticed at least a $10 and a couple $1s in her hand but I don't know the exact amount. But I declined, saying that if she wanted to pay me I'd rather her promote my work. Then I explained that I design websites and do business consulting. She said sure and we were about to talk more but my phone rang and I woke up.
The tone throughout all this was very matter-of-fact. Except the embarrassment of the puddle I don't remember feeling much at all except I really loved the guy upstairs and wanted to get back to him and the work we were doing there. But at the same time once I was cleaning and talking to the woman I lost all thought of him and was focused on that instead.
Dream Interpretation: The bathroom is about root chakra issues, and getting to the nitty gritty so to speak and also it's about cleansing and clearing old ideas, feelings, as peeing, is symbolic of water, clearing, letting go of old emotions that can subconsciously hold us back.
I am seeing that you are 'doing' some inner house cleaning at this time of your life, and sometimes, we have to get side tracked and go down south to the subconscious area of the mind/soul and do some cleaning before we are ready to go to the other hallway etc. to get to where we need to be next.
There is a freshness that shows once we have done some 'inner cleaning' wiping off the counter etc. The woman is a symbol of your inner goddess, your connection to the great mother, the GREAT ETERNAL FEMININE. She is trying to pay you for your inner work and willingness to do the 'dirty work' so to speak in the bathroom. In a sense this also relates to your 'business' the website, designing, etc. part of you does not really care for it, and could be so very detached, but part of you knows it's part of the calling for now.
The $10 and $1 are small bills, for small deal, jobs etc. But you are saying no, I WANT MORE! " You ask her to promote your work. Meaning you are ready to take it to the next level. And who better, but your inner goddess, or the lady who is opening up a salon, which is, another area of giving, promoting self beauty...looks, appearances, if beauty is an illusion let us create the perfect illusion concept.
She will help you on a grander bigger scale, help open doors of synchronicity and other opportunities.
Yes, more work to do on the 'self' getting things moving, the woman helping you. And then you will get back to the man you are so attracted to.
The salon also represents your unique ability to offer a service that others like in an attractive, beautiful creative manner, just as a salon will do.
Two ladders leaning on each other at an angle - one is shorter: This symbolizes you and myself. I am the ladder above and you are the ladder below. We depend on each other and help each other.
Two feathers standing straight up: They are to be worn by the brave who had acquired wisdom. A symbol of status in the tribe. The brave has gained knowledge when he wears the feathers. Keep working for your feathers!
A red and blue book with gold edging called The Untold Story: This book which is yet to be written represents the knowledge to come that is available to all, but people must first perceive it as being there. You are aware that there is more, and you can one day write this book, The Untold Story. It will contain a portion of these here to unknown truths. And in such a manner these truths will be imparted to those who can receive them. There will be a diversion among readers. There will be those who will love you words, and those who will be surprised by what you write.
A nun is partially unmasked: You see things to a point. You've had a taste of spiritual realities and will see more as you keep up your meditations. The nun will return again. Ask for her. She will tell you who she is.

The moon lying inside the sun: This is the merging of the emotions and the intellect. True art has both.
Anwar Sadat in a bathroom by a toilet: You may not want to be responsible for something in the future. You may have to do something you don't want to do. The bathroom is the place of elimination. You'll eliminate something. Anwar Sadat did eliminate war for awhile, but at great personal criticism. You will feel morally responsible for what you do.
Three piles of notebook paper: Three more of these piles and the first draft of your novel will be done.
A five year old blond boy: This may be your son one day.

A wrench: Tighten up your schedule.
A man bowing after giving a sermon in church: You have not fully tamed your ego yet, Michael. You must become indifferent to praise and not bow unnecessarily as the man does after the sermon. It is not appropriate to bow after a sermon. Your ego still likes praise, and you must conquer this.

A nurse dressed in white: Someone is nursing you back to health from the flu you had recently.
A goldfish swimming alone in a bowl: You must swim alone as we all must. Much inner work must be done alone.
A jester jumps on the stage in tights and juggles: You were a jester in a past life in the renaissance. That was a fun and joyful life.
A big watermelon: This is a fertility symbol. The seeds in the melon are ideas thoughts and dreams. They are a sign of things to come. Your development will be like eating a piece of watermelon. Don't bite off more than you can chew. Chew slowly and don't rush. Some of the seeds you will cultivate and others you will have no time for.
A friend is sitting in a black car on a railroad track and a train is coming: You are picking up on his train of thought. It gets more and more pessimistic. Your friend is depressed and won't move. Yet he must move or there will be danger.
A man plowing a garden: This relates to your friend who was sitting on the train tracks. If you plowed his garden he'd have to do it all over again. He must learn his own lessons.
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton: You could have just as strong a relationship with someone as they had. You need to refine the finer points of personality that they did not. Your relationship could be just as soul-binding and intense as theirs.
A white owl looks at me: This symbolizes the dream work you do at night. This is an Indian symbol of work you do in your sleep. The soul never sleeps, and like the owl at night, gets much work done.
A red cardinal flies to a better land: This relates to the Spanish Inquisition. You lived during that time and something very bad happened to you. I don't know what for I do not see it. The soul of the cardinal flew to a better world after his death.

A red barn house with two windows at the top: Don't house anger. The two windows represent the soul and red is the color for anger. Open the windows so anger can blow out. Make peace with your higher and lower self and the anger will disappear. Let negative feelings go and don't be at war with your higher self.
Nijinski the Russian ballet dancer was standing in place dancing: This symbolizes the expression of the subconscious. You must follow the spiritual path with strong self-control. You must have a strong will for protection. Intellectual curiosity is not enough. For artistic expression, which comes with the expansion of the subconscious mind, it is necessary to prepare yourself. You must be extremely disciplined or you could face emotional imbalance just as Nijinski did. The difference between you and him will be the extent you exercise control over your emotions. Your artistic expression could be as intense as his. The emotions and intellect merge in art.
A big van trailer: A van you may one day own which you will need for your travels.
The earth crumbles and the ark of the covenant shows itself: The law of God shall come again to the earth when the earth changes occur. The changes will speed things up.

The awakening of a faun: This is the awakening of the artist in you. There is newness to it just like when the newborn first awakens. This is a personal symbol, for you, Michael. Nijinski comes to you in this symbol because he danced the faun in one of his most famous roles. You have a strong link with him. Nijinski wants to help you 'not' make the same mistakes that he did. You could be susceptible to madness if you lose yourself too much in the labyrinths of the subconscious mind and wind up in a mental institution. This is not meant, nor likely to happen for your creativity will save you via your art. Nijinski will work with you as a guide.
A piece of pie with the fraction 3/5 on it: This refers to the accuracy of your symbol work. You are batting about three out of five now. You have come far for five weeks of working on symbology and dreams. Soon you will bat four out of five, and then perhaps five out of five if you remain humble. This improvement of your batting average has taken much time and work just like the baseball player must keep batting until he gets most of them right.
A big gift wrapped up: As long as we're divorced from the ego all will flow. We must respect and not abuse our spiritual gifts nor use them for self aggrandizement.
A dummy ventriloquist: You shall be a channel for pure elevated spirits to communicate with the people on the earth.
A man with bread on a tray: You will bring bread to the people. Symbolic of being of service to others. Feed yourself first then you can feed the people. Get healed first. Continue your search.
Floating clouds on different layers: There are many different types of energies we can tap into. We can get images, symbols, see panoramas and experience different states of awareness. We see certain images from different levels. There are different clouds of energy. One is the cloud of poetry. Another is the cloud of dreams. We get information from the cloud we float up to depending on how high our energies soar.
Jewels are wonderful: This symbol represents a special you will meet in the future. Remember, jewels are worth waiting for. Handle them with care once they come your way.
Someone eating aged cheddar cheese: Relationships taste better with time. It takes time for love and friendship to grow.
A green apple: Don't pick the fruit prematurely or it won't taste good. Let it ripen. Green is bitter and tart. This refers to pursuing someone too fast. Let the relationship ripen.
A cave: This is your tendency to withdraw from the arena of personal love. you have come back in this lifetime to experience personal love and might as well get on with the lessons. You will come back again and again until you resolve all the hidden dark conflicts unresolved in the area of personal love. Go in the cave of our subconscious. Face your fears and befriend them so you can heal in order to experience warmth and trust in the area of personal love.
A body attached to a cross and crucified: The body is symbolically crucified in the evolution of the spirit. There are certain things to give up. we must control our appetites. They exist because of our insecurities. This is self pity. Through indulging our passions we direct the energy to ourselves and not one helping others. We cannot be afraid of change if we wish to grow. Let's concentrate our energies on what will make us happy in the long run, Let us tenderly express universal love. Let us help others work through releasing their negative attachments. We have wings to fly if we believe in our dreams.
We are at the beginning of understanding the powers of the mind and our evolutionary role. Part of this is letting go of the primitive urges; our instincts. We must experience them and release them so we can teach others how to do it. If we have not been attached ourselves then how can we teach others who are? We would not understand where they are coming from. this is why you and I have had to regress emotionally in this lifetime; so we would know what others go through. This is how we will have sincere compassion to urge others to move beyond attachments.
The attachments are longing, alcohol, drugs, sadness, food and other non-constructive habits. How can you teach someone else not to be destructive if you have not had to teach yourself? We go through these times to remember what the struggle is like. Controlling the emotions is a long process. Being free is a process in which every minutes we must do something positive for the constructiveness of our destiny. We must not get caught up in the future or past. Remember to act and live in the present or otherwise we'll regress.
An elegant lady carrying a parasol: This is a memory of a French life you had in the court. You went out on a picnic one day with an older gentleman. You stood where her could see your profile. You moved your umbrella a bit on the boat, then lost your balance and fell in the water. Your wig fell off and you lost your shoes. You almost drowned from the heavy slips and silks you were wearing. the gentleman threw you an oar and had to drag you in. You were so humiliated and embarrassed. He was sorry you did not have a good time. He was a very modest man. He never made passes at you.
On another occasion you asked him to pin a rose on your bosom. He was nervous and his hand trembled. You enjoyed this. He gave you flowers all the time. You never made love. You were coquettish with him. He died a few years later and you took some walks through his rose garden. The made you sad, reminding you of him and the deep love he had for you. One day you looked at his tomb and said, "wherever you are, my love, there must be roses too."
"No," she said, the dream was not symbolic. It was literal. Your subconscious mind and guides are telling you to put your tennis shoes on and get back on the track. Literally. "Wow, I said. "So, I'm to start jogging again." The dream made perfect sense because I had not jogged in several months, and I usually jog several times a week. I listened to the dream and have been jogging or walking ever since.

A client of mine in a reading told me about a recurring dream she had of a little girl who was in the trunk of her car.

"That little girl in your trunk is you. She is your inner child. You locked this part of yourself away by stopping your singing. Your subconscious is telling you to let your inner child little girl out, and start singing again, even if only in the bathroom," I joked.

I was embarrassed because I'd left a puddle so I got some paper towels to clean it up. Then I decided I didn't want to be too obvious so I also wiped off the counters, etc. so it looked like I was just cleaning the bathroom.
Then a woman came in and was amazed that I was cleaning. She explained that this was her salon (not a bathroom after all) and that it was going to open soon and she was so happy I was helping make it look good. She was delighted and offered to pay me. She tried to give me money and I noticed at least a $10 and a couple $1s in her hand but I don't know the exact amount. But I declined, saying that if she wanted to pay me I'd rather her promote my work. Then I explained that I design websites and do business consulting. She said sure and we were about to talk more but my phone rang and I woke up.
The tone throughout all this was very matter-of-fact. Except the embarrassment of the puddle I don't remember feeling much at all except I really loved the guy upstairs and wanted to get back to him and the work we were doing there. But at the same time once I was cleaning and talking to the woman I lost all thought of him and was focused on that instead.
Dream Interpretation: The bathroom is about root chakra issues, and getting to the nitty gritty so to speak and also it's about cleansing and clearing old ideas, feelings, as peeing, is symbolic of water, clearing, letting go of old emotions that can subconsciously hold us back.
I am seeing that you are 'doing' some inner house cleaning at this time of your life, and sometimes, we have to get side tracked and go down south to the subconscious area of the mind/soul and do some cleaning before we are ready to go to the other hallway etc. to get to where we need to be next.
There is a freshness that shows once we have done some 'inner cleaning' wiping off the counter etc. The woman is a symbol of your inner goddess, your connection to the great mother, the GREAT ETERNAL FEMININE. She is trying to pay you for your inner work and willingness to do the 'dirty work' so to speak in the bathroom. In a sense this also relates to your 'business' the website, designing, etc. part of you does not really care for it, and could be so very detached, but part of you knows it's part of the calling for now.
The $10 and $1 are small bills, for small deal, jobs etc. But you are saying no, I WANT MORE! " You ask her to promote your work. Meaning you are ready to take it to the next level. And who better, but your inner goddess, or the lady who is opening up a salon, which is, another area of giving, promoting self beauty...looks, appearances, if beauty is an illusion let us create the perfect illusion concept.
She will help you on a grander bigger scale, help open doors of synchronicity and other opportunities.
Yes, more work to do on the 'self' getting things moving, the woman helping you. And then you will get back to the man you are so attracted to.
The salon also represents your unique ability to offer a service that others like in an attractive, beautiful creative manner, just as a salon will do.

A body attached to a cross and crucified: The body is symbolically crucified in the evolution of the spirit. There are certain things to give up. we must control our appetites. They exist because of our insecurities. This is self pity. Through indulging our passions we direct the energy to ourselves and not one helping others. We cannot be afraid of change if we wish to grow. Let's concentrate our energies on what will make us happy in the long run, Let us tenderly express universal love. Let us help others work through releasing their negative attachments. We have wings to fly if we believe in our dreams.
We are at the beginning of understanding the powers of the mind and our evolutionary role. Part of this is letting go of the primitive urges; our instincts. We must experience them and release them so we can teach others how to do it. If we have not been attached ourselves then how can we teach others who are? We would not understand where they are coming from. this is why you and I have had to regress emotionally in this lifetime; so we would know what others go through. This is how we will have sincere compassion to urge others to move beyond attachments.
The attachments are longing, alcohol, drugs, sadness, food and other non-constructive habits. How can you teach someone else not to be destructive if you have not had to teach yourself? We go through these times to remember what the struggle is like. Controlling the emotions is a long process. Being free is a process in which every minutes we must do something positive for the constructiveness of our destiny. We must not get caught up in the future or past. Remember to act and live in the present or otherwise we'll regress.
An elegant lady carrying a parasol: This is a memory of a French life you had in the court. You went out on a picnic one day with an older gentleman. You stood where her could see your profile. You moved your umbrella a bit on the boat, then lost your balance and fell in the water. Your wig fell off and you lost your shoes. You almost drowned from the heavy slips and silks you were wearing. the gentleman threw you an oar and had to drag you in. You were so humiliated and embarrassed. He was sorry you did not have a good time. He was a very modest man. He never made passes at you.
On another occasion you asked him to pin a rose on your bosom. He was nervous and his hand trembled. You enjoyed this. He gave you flowers all the time. You never made love. You were coquettish with him. He died a few years later and you took some walks through his rose garden. The made you sad, reminding you of him and the deep love he had for you. One day you looked at his tomb and said, "wherever you are, my love, there must be roses too."
