Dream Interpretation

Question:


I had a disturbing dream. In my dream I was a prostitute meeting a man in this house. My children were there in a different room. I left the man alone for two minutes and when I came back I went to check on my children. They were covered with a blanket except for their faces. I lifted the blanket and their bodies were gone. He had removed all but their heads. I woke up from this and immediately sobbed. That was last Thursday night and I haven't been the same since. As a little bit of a background I am going through a divorce right now, haven't been back to acupuncture or massage in a few months and have recently met someone .. I'm wondering if these things kind of factored into the crazy nightmare that I had. ... Your thoughts?

 

 

Response:

 

Hello My Friend,

I'm not skilled in dream interpretation, however, I think that the subconscious plays a large role in the manufacturing of dreams.

I have discovered when I continually plant beautiful images into my subconscious that I am happier and that brilliance flows into my dreams. For example...throughout the day and before bed I think of what I am grateful for, add vibrant colors to those thoughts, and paint beautiful images in my mind. When conditioned with daily practice the mind becomes developed in the areas to see beauty making it easier to experience its magic.

My dreams are generally brighter and happier scenarios since I've implemented these daily mind exercises

I will welcome any members who maybe experts in dream interpretation to comment and see if you will receive some helpful information.

Bliss, blessings, love and light!
Your Friend,
STEVEN

Hi :)

 

From what I understand about dream interpretation from the reading that I've done, some believe that our current life events will alter what we dream. So, if this information is correct, then I will make a few guesses - and, that's all these are - just guesses:

 

The prostitution thing: This might be your mind's way of telling you that maybe you're not ready for a new relationship yet? That you're maybe worried about how the new person is going to treat you and the children?

 

The missing children thing: Could this be concerns over a custody or visitation situation?

 

The nightmare: Divorce situations are often nightmares. I can see how one might disrupt your happy thoughts at sleep time while you are stressed out.

 

Steven is wise in what he is suggesting that you do. If you fill your mind up with only happy thoughts, there will not be any room for the bad ones.

 

Happy thought suggestions:

 

Look forward to your new beginning with happiness. The divorce stuff will pass. It is not often in life that we get to choose a completely new path to follow. You can become anything that you want to be when you start off on a new life road. Have fun planning your new life.

 

Pick a fun sounding goal to work towards for yourself. Something that will make you feel very happy and proud of yourself. You may want to check out your local college classes for ideas. Those are sometimes free if you qualify for financial aide. Although, you do not have to take any class to enjoy the fun ideas that the catalogs give you.

If the art pages have you reaching for a Q-tip to try painting.. That's great! That's a happy thought. 

 

Smiles! Catherine

Hi Steven,

    Thank you for welcoming me to the group.  Dream interpretation is something I am very familiar with.  I have worked on my own dreams for about 10 years and have been a member of an internet dream group, an in person dream group and also facilitated a dream group.

    First of all some dream group ground rules I go by. You are the only one who knows if an interpretation is correct.  When someone makes a suggestion and it resonates that is a valid interpretation, if it doesn't resonate then don't accept it.  Usually the characters in the dream represent some aspect of yourself, not always true but usally.  So if you have a dream your sister gets in a car accident you may want to warn your sister to be careful but more often than not it represents the part of you symbolized by your sister.  You also want to look at the emotions you feel during the dream, this will reflect emotions you are having in waking life.  If you pay attention to the dream then you change your emotional course before something unwanted manifests in your life.

 

In my dream I was a prostitute meeting a man in this house.  Prostitutes typically symbolize doing something unethical for money or other gain.  Houses typically represent states of consciousness.  This sounds like you are referring to a strange house, not your own so you're not owning this particular state of consciousness.  The man would most likely represent some masculine aspect of yourself that you also do not own.

 

My children were there in a different room. I left the man alone for two minutes and when I came back I went to check on my children. They were covered with a blanket except for their faces. I lifted the blanket and their bodies were gone. He had removed all but their heads.   This is pretty tough to get without being able to talk to you and get feedback.  Here's my guess, heads typically represent thoughts, so your children are in your thoughts but you are concerned there bodies will no longer be with you.

 

I hope this helps, please let me know if this resonates with you.

 

Namaste,

Jeff

Cool stuff, Jeff. Big Smiles!

 

Can you start another thread on this forum board and maybe tell us some more about dreams meanings? If you have time someday? I'm probably not the only person here who would like to read more about what dreams are made of. 

 

Happy thoughts to all! Catherine

Thanks Catherine for the request and I would enjoy sharing my understandings of dreams but it might be better if someone had a question or dream he or she wanted to know about.  Otherwise it would be like me trying to write a book here.  The book I used as my guide to get started and still use as a reference is The Mystical, Magical, Marvelous World of Dreams by Wilda B. Tanner.  If anyone has a question or dream and wants to start a new thread I'm game.  I have no formal training as in a psychology degree but I have read a lot and have quite a bit of experience.  My favorite sources are Edgar Cayce, which Wilda based her book on,  Carl Jung and Abraham-Hicks.

 

Namaste,

Jeff

Thanks Jeff :) I will have to start sleeping with a feather and ink bottle under my pillow to scribble down dreams as I remember them or get a plan going somehow. I'm always good to remember dreams when I first open my eyes, but then they fade away pretty quickly.  Have a wonderful day! Catherine

You are the only one who can interpret your dreams. Ask your subconscious again what it means. However, by making your dream public, it means you are open to alternative explanations and is looking for an interpretation you will agree on. Here are my random reflections:

* look into your fears of your children adjusting to your prospective partner.

* look into your fears and apprehensions on how your new partner is going to adjust to your children.

* look into the current relationship of your new partner with your children. Are they just relating on a shallow level--just for the sake of acquaintance?

* look into your relationship with your new partner--Is it shallow, just beginning, just for need and comfort?

* look into your fears of your children growing up in light of your divorce.

 

remember, all the characters in your dream is also you. I hope i was able to help a bit

:)It is very true that we become what we fill ourselves with, so beautiful images are great to fill yourself with...however, if your inner self needs to get  a message across to you, it will use symbols you understand to try to convey the message. All of the symbols in your dream will depend on what that imagery means to you....some people may or may not have a problem with prostitution, etc..that will taint the meaning on your dream ....

Prostitution - an exchange, a transfusion, flirting around with...considering doing business with this 'person' or 'thought'..everything represents a thought..thought process..or collection of thoughts.

the dreamer here is the female....the prostitute....the man is to be received by the dreamer
.children - projects or parts of yourself that are very important to you.

House, state of consciousness, or a mind...mental place that contains thoughts

head - dreams, contain thoughts, children's heads: the thought out version of your project/goal/dream - still in the planning/dream stage - not yet brought forth to physicality (body: the part of a being tied to physicality)

everything is made of thoughts..

As others have said, this is something that can only be interpreted fully by you, but here is my understanding:

There is a thought that you are entertaining ..you are receiving this thought into your consciousness and considering 'sleeping with it" (becoming one with it...allowing it to become a part of you)- you are only considering accepting this thought into yourself and who you are because you think it will benefit you or pay off in some way. It is keeping your attention and the blanket represents not being able to see or visualize your dreams or a part of you  becoming a reality. Because you can't visualize them, they are not there.  However, under your radar, this thought will move in and block some of your dreams/ efforts you are making progress on from manifesting in the physical....this thought will stop you from bringing your goals into physical reality. It will keep them in your head as just dreams.

What in your life seems like it will help you care for your children (goals/projects/offshoots for yourself)? Even just accepting this thought into your 'home' (heart) and beginning to believe in it will detract from the path of dream realization that you were on ....

It may be that a fear you are accepting into yourself and then left alone/not dealt with/not removed is what is keeping you from making progress. are you afraid to go forth on your own without a partner?


Is there a job you were considering taking? Is this new person you were considering dating someone you see as a "source" of income, comfort or something that will help you achieve what you want? Keep in mind that you don't NEED anyone or anything to help you achieve what your heart asks you to do....The way will always be shown one step at a time...anything we think we need is an illusion and comes at a cost...

Another interpretation is that the children may not be actual projects or goals in your life, they may be budding qualities/aspects/parts of yourself that you are still developing....

As you go through a divorce, you're also on a journey to realizing new parts of yourself (children), and developing these new parts of yourself....oftentimes, this is something we need time and space to do, and accepting someone else into our life that 'could be a source of comfort' may just distract us from allowing these parts of ourself to manifest and journey from our heads/highest vision of ourselves into the physical and becoming a real part of who we are outwardly....

yet, these children were already born...and you were concerned about them....you went to check on them..so I'd say it's most likely parts of yourself you are already aware of caring for/developing  or projects you were already actively pursuing...

It may be that you do have fears about a new partner, and your children...however, in the realm of interpreting spirit's communication to you, even real life is full of symbols for doing so....in the realm of prophecy and spirit speak, everything speaks to you, so even if you do have fears about your children/partner in real life, that reflects something back to you that is about you....even when a dream comes true, the symbols were pulling an actual event to your attention to communicate something to you about yourself.....

Life is but a dream....

Take a good look at your surroundings and see who/what you are doing, interacting with, thinking, accepting....how much of it is because you think you have to or need to? Those are the very things standing in your way to realizing your heart's desires.

I notice that when I go through major changes in my life I have some weird dreams.  That's probably what you can attribute this to.  I wish I still had my Tarot deck because then I could be of more of a help to you.
