Introducing …… The Giver of Dreams!

Did you know that there is a spiritual being who goes by the name of “The Giver of Dreams”?

No, well let me introduce you.

The Giver of Dreams has existed in the spiritual realm since before the world began. If you look back to Ancient Hebraic scriptures you will find references to The Giver of Dreams there as far back as the times of the Pharaohs in Egypt and the Babylonian and Persian Empires.

The Giver of Dreams sent dreams from the spiritual realm to warn of coming disasters for nations and downfalls for individuals.

The Giver of Dreams is not just confined to ancient history – they want to communicate with you and me today. Sometimes when we are awake we are simply too busy to hear any messages coming from the spiritual realm, so the Giver of Dreams will send messages to us while we are asleep. These messages offer us guidance, hope and direction for living life in the 21st century.

If you would like to start receiving dreams from the Giver of Dreams it is very simple – just ask The Giver of Dreams to help you remember any dreams that are from them.

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!

Sweet dreams

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.

Sweet dreams!

Help – I see dead people!

How often have you dreamed about people who were important in your life, but are now dead?

This is actually very common – but it doesn’t mean that you are a psychic, medium, or anything else in that line.

There are a few things that it is important to bear in mind when you are trying to understand a dream that someone who’s dead appears in.

1. Dreams are symbolic, so the person may be symbolising something else. For example, if one of your grandparents appear in your dream then they can commonly represent part of your heritage or a characteristic that has been handed down to you through your family line.
2. Has the person died recently? If you answer ‘yes’ to this question then the reason for you dreaming about them could be quite different. In order to deal with your grief in a healthy way, you need to process what has happened and sometimes that can be too painful to deal with while you are awake. Dreaming about the person can be part of your grieving and may continue for some time after the person has died. In experiences I have come across these dreams usually stop when you dream about letting the person ‘go’.
3. Occasionally, you might dream about someone who has died because you have a tie to what happened at the time of their death. You might feel guilty or maybe even responsible for the death. Dreaming about the dead person may show that you are not dealing with what happened in a way that is healthy for you. If this is the case you might need to seek help so that eventually you can come to terms with what happened and be able to move on.

I hope this gives you peace and helps you understand what may, or may not be happening if you dream about people who are dead.

In my next blog I will start exploring what it means if people die in your dreams. But that’s for the next post.

In the meantime ….

Sweet 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!

 

Who’s agenda do you follow?

The other week I had trouble with the bank. They’d sent a letter saying there was something wrong with an account – but there wasn’t.

I didn’t really want to go and talk to someone face-to-face because I was angry and upset .

So I tried telephoning, but couldn’t get my questions answered.

I emailed – but the person I had an email address for no longer deals with that particular account.

Eventually I gave in and made my way to the local branch. Well the guy who was there tried his very best to help solve the issue and made some calls on my behalf. While we were waiting for someone to answer his phone call, he started asking me about The Dream House: what kind of company are we? What do we do? and so on. Before I knew what was happening, he was telling me about some of the dreams he had had as a kid and wanted to know what they meant. When I got up to leave, he thanked me profusely and said he’d always been concerned that the dreams meant that he was weird (they didn’t!)

It seems that there was a plan other than mine at work here – the last thing I wanted to do was talk to someone in the bank face-to-face, but for the young guy who worked in the bank that was exactly what he needed to happen: me to be there and to reassure him about his dreams.

So my question to you is this: who’s agenda runs your life?

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!

Sweet Dreams!

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!

Why do I keep having the same dream?

Recently a number of people having been telling me about dreams that they keep having on a regular basis – monthly, weekly or, in one case, nightly. These are called ‘recurring dreams’ – mainly because they recur!

However, these dreams are not nightmares (see post entitled “Don’t worry – it was just a nightmare”) so what are they all about?

Firstly, you need to be aware that dreams are usually symbolic and can contain a message from the spiritual realm. (As these were not nightmares though we can assume that the spiritual force behind these dreams have the best interests of the dreamer at heart)

Why do they recur? Well to put this in its simplest form either:

• you didn’t understand the message contained in the dream or
• you didn’t act on it

So the dream was sent again.

These dreams can either be exactly the same or a variation on a theme. It’s just like when you have to say something using slightly different words in order for the person you are trying to communicate with to understand what you are trying to say. The author of your dreams will keep trying to find new and creative ways to communicate the message to you until either you ‘get it’ or ‘act on it’.

If you’ve been having recurring dreams then the first thing you can do is to connect with the Creator of your dreams and ask what the message is. If you are still having difficulty understanding the message in the dream then maybe a visit to my website might help: www.thedreamhouse.co The dream interpreters there would love to help you to understand the meaning of your dreams.

I look forward to hearing from you soon

Sweet dreams!

Is everyone going dream mad?

So according to the BBC a new craze seems to be sweeping the land.

“What is it?” I hear you cry. Well, it seems to be dreaming. Not just any old type of dreaming though, it’s Lucid Dreaming.

Groups, seminars, workshops and apps all connected with helping you to lucid dream seem to be springing up all over.

So what is lucid dreaming. Basically there are two aspects of dreaming that can be referred to as lucid. Firstly it’s simply when the dreamer is aware that they are dreaming. Secondly, it can refer to the dreamer being aware that they are dreaming and taking control of the direction the dream is going. It is the ability to do the latter that seems to be grabbing people’s attention.

Have you ever been aware of being in a dangerous situation in a dream and thought “I can just fly out of here”, struck your Superman pose and taken off? That’s lucid dreaming!

Some of the apps that are available seem to influence the kind of dreams that you have by suggesting settings/emotions etc through music that you preset before you fall asleep. However, true lucid dreaming needs none of these gizmos. If something is happening in your dream which you don’t like (and you’re aware that you are dreaming) then you can choose to change what is happening, either by fighting back, leaving the situation, flying away or what ever else you choose to do. There you go – that’s a freebie from me to you!

Oh and one last thing before I sign off – if the dream is in bright colours and it all feels good: just go with it and don’t change a thing!

Sweet Dreams
