Use it or lose it…….

It’s the start of a new year, and lots of people have been making resolutions of all the changes that they want to make in their life. This could involve gym memberships, weight loss plans, correction of work/life balance and so on.

In many of these areas that we want to change about our life, the old adage holds true: use it or lose it! If we want to get fit, we need to make use of our gym membership, if we want to lose weight we need to put the diet plan into action – otherwise we are simply wasting our time.

But how often do we realise that the same holds true with our dream life? If our dreams contain messages from the spiritual realm then we need to pay attention and act on the guidance . If we consistently ignore the messages, then the spiritual realm can reduce the number of dreams sent until eventually it may seem that they stop altogether.  Think about how you react when someone ignores the advice or help you offer them – it gets to a point where we realise that we are wasting our breath so we stop. It’s exactly the same with the spiritual forces who seek to help us (the forces that would seek to hinder our development are another matter!)

So at the beginning of 2013 apply the old saying to your dream life – use it or lose it!

People are dying in my dreams :(

After some of the feed back from my last blog I thought this was the next logical topic to cover!

To put things very simply to begin with, seeing someone die in a dream does NOT mean that they are about to drop dead in real life!

Someone dying in a dream often represents that something between you and them is going to come to an end.

For example, let’s imagine that you are having problems at work and then you dream that your boss dies ……. one common reaction people have is to feel guilty and assume that somewhere deep within their subconscious mind they are so angry with their boss that they wish the boss was dead.  However, if the dream has a spiritual source, it could be communicating to you that the problem at work is going to come to an end.

I’m not saying that people dying in your dream is always a good thing, the dream could be letting you know that your relationship with that person could be coming to an end. Depending on who it is (and how you feel about them!) that could be a good or a bad thing.

As with everything connected with dream interpretation, context is everything and this blog covers the topic in sweeping generalities. I sincerely hope though that  this relieves some of your fears and guilt next time you encounter someone dying in your dreams.

I don’t dream!

Quite often when I’m offering dream interpretation at events numerous people will walk by saying: “I’m sorry, I don’t dream” (Why they need to apologise for this, I’m never quite sure!)

The point I’m trying to make here is that everyone dreams every night – most people simply don’t remember them.

In Western cultures we have been so influenced by the logic promoted by the ancient Greeks, that we accept as “truth” that dreams are not important. Our brains are wonderful pieces of ingenuity that deal with so much information each day it’s a wonder it doesn’t explode! It copes by using a kind of programming: what is important and what isn’t. Your brain will use this programming to work out what it needs to remember (Important) and what it doesn’t (Unimportant). By being told things from an early age like “It was just a dream” our brains programme dreams as unimportant and therefore doesn’t remember them – or if you do remember it on waking you forget it very soon afterwards.

Other cultures, such as those from the middle or far-east,  still view dreams as being important, so people from these areas remember more of their dreams because of the way their brains have been programmed.

So, if you want to remember more of your dreams – it’ll involve reprogramming your brain! Don’t worry – this is not a painful process.

  1. As you get ready for bed try telling yourself that you want to remember any dreams that you do have during the night.
  2. If you do wake up remembering a dream try to record it as soon as possible – speak it into your phone, write it down, draw a picture of it  – whatever will help you to remember the dream.
  3. Waking up before your alarm goes off can also be beneficial to remembering dreams

The more that your brain is reprogrammed to remember dreams, the more you will find you remember. It won’t happen overnight, but very soon you will find you are starting to remember more and more of your dreams. Then you are faced with the fun of working out what they mean ………..

Sweet Dreams!

I dreamed about you last night!

How often has someone said that to you?

I have been told that numerous times – but you know what? The dream hasn’t been about me at all!

Most dreams that people remember are actually about them, the dreamer, not about anyone or anything else. This can be hard for us to come to grips with because we want the dreams to be about others rather than us!

For example we may dream about a bad situation at work and our automatic reaction is to assume that the dream is showing us just how bad the situation is, who did what, and who said this or that. However, it is more likely that the dream is about our attitude to what is happening at work or what our role in the situation is.

So why do people we know appear in our dreams? We need to remember that dreams are symbolic so there can be many reasons that these people appear, but some of the most common are connected to:

  • the relationship the person has to us (are they a family member, close friend,)
  • the job the person does
  • their name (you can use websites like babynames.com to help you with this).

Once we’ve managed to figure this out it’ll become more obvious why the dream is about us!

If you, as the dreamer, are taking part in the dream – you’re talking with people, you are involved in all the action taking place in the dream, then guess what? No matter how many other people are in the dream, 99 times out a 100 the dream will be about you!

When is a dream not a dream?

No, I’m not trying to crack a joke! I really am being serious.

In Western cultures we’ve been taught that if ‘it’ (whatever ‘it’ is) happens while we are asleep then it has to be a dream. But that ain’t necessarily so. There is a vast array of spiritual experiences that can happen while we are asleep: from seeing visions to visiting Heavenly realms, or being visited by angels to meeting someone on the other side of the world! This is just a snapshot of what can potentially happen while we’re asleep!

I see part of my role as a dreamer interpreter as being able to explain to people that what took place while they were asleep wasn’t a dream. Now, I admit, for some people that is a very scary thought – but for others it can be very liberating.

Let me give you an example:

At one event I was at a young woman recounted a ‘dream’ that she had had when she was about 4 years old. In this ‘dream’ she said that she was standing next to a pillar of light flecked with gold. A woman standing on the other side of the pillar said to her “This is God”. Her face was a picture when I said “I’m sorry I can’t give you an interpretation for that dream – because it wasn’t a dream, it was a real spiritual experience! When you were 4 you were introduced to God”. Her response was tears and thanks! For years she’d had experiences like this but other people had dismissed them as figments of her imagination. She was very relieved to find someone who was able (and willing) to validate these experiences as being very real.

SO when is a dream not a dream? When it can’t be interpreted symbolically but you know something very real happened when you were asleep!

Sweet Dreams!
