I thought I'd start a thread for dreams/vision and there interpretations since there seems to be a lot of dream threads and discussions that come up.
To start things off, I'll share a dream I had the other night.
I had a dream that I saved a pink mini poodle from some mean cats. He was starving, dirty, and was injured. I took him and gave him some food and water and he began talking to me. He told me that everyone had to learn to be good to each other or we'd just continue to repeat these same things over and over until everyone learned. He then produced a card which had a depiction of a fish, a cow, and a human in a cycle of reincarnation. I went into the kitchen to get him some pepperoni, wondering if he were a vegetarian and then I woke up.

I read Art of Dreaming and have been trying to be aware of my hands during a dream but with no success. I've also taken to repeating to myself, "I'll remember to recognize that I'm in a dream." Again, for about a month no luck. I have been able to increase my ability to recall my dreams though. I've been able to remember my dreams nearly every morning and have written them down. This dream about the pink poodle seemed important to me for some reason.
Hey EB - I'm into dreams and dream interpretation.... I think what I can offer that I see in this - They say that all characters in one's dream are ultimately aspects of ourselves - So - I think the pink poodle is the emotional aspect of yrself - or sensitive aspect trying to "speak" to you, get yr attention - asking for you to focus on it and nurture yrself. The cats - may represent the less innocent aspect of the ego - taking on judgments from the world around and internalizing these - thereby beating up on yrself - yr innocent sensitivity...
The judgement issue comes up again where you are wondering whether or not the poodle is a vegetarian - I think this is seeing you in the state you are in - the one who judges themselves, who is confused about what is right and wrong in this confusing world where there are so many opinions. There is the desire to live and nurture the innocence amidst this harsh climate - I would say, look again and relax with whatever issues yr confused about --- whether this or that is right, if you aren't sure that's ok - but trust that you'll keep growing, and confusion will blossom as wisdom - in the meantime, nurture the sensitive you that is growing - don't carry on the condemning and cruel judging behavior that truly does not have it's origin in you - you were innocently about to cook up some tea - just let yrself be - the tea was great - no need to question whether it's right or wrong or going to offend this innocence - just enjoy it - it's an expression of yr kindness and self love - wanting to feed and nurture the pure you who's feeling left out by all this judging! Anyway - sure there is other stuff to add or see, but that's what I could see - hope it helps :)

Hi
Interesting discussion. I don't know how to interpret dreams so I can't say anything about yours I am afraid.
Here are some of my dreams-
1) Many, many years ago I had a dream I was flying unaided over trees. I only remember briefly this dream. I could sense the movment I think. I was fun.
I am not sleeping well these days and sleep a couple of times per 24 hours for short periods rather than once. It was during short sleeps like these that the following dreams happened...
2) More recently, a few months ago I had another dream where I was standing in a building and then I levitated off the ground. I remember it requiring a bit of effort to get off the ground. At some time during this dream I remember that someone was on my back like a coal carry position and I levitated with this person hanging on to me, again this felt a little difficult. This took place as I recall going up over rooftops. I do not recognise where I was in the dream. The building looked like tenement flats I think.
3) This dream may have happened the same night as the one above but I don't remember for sure. This one is weird. I was sitting in what appeared to be a restaurant of some sort though I did not have any food in front of me. I was sitting on a wooded bench. I was looking at my watch on my wrist. It was an expensive watch (so clearly this was a dream!) which had three small dials on it top, far right and bottom. I took the watch off and when I did so I could see a holographic representation of the watch on my skin. I was golden and green in colour. I moved my wrist around and it glimmered like a hologram would on a DVD on something like that. The next thing that happened was the watch hologram was replaced with a photograph of a landscape I think. it would have been about three inches accross in size and one and a half inches top to bottom. It the proceeded to change every couple of seconds into different pictures. Remember this was all on my skin. I don't remember anything specific about the pictures sadly. I also at one time saw a different type of watch on my wrist it was clack and rectangle shaped with small silver hands. I then got up and left this place having to walk down a small flight of stars to get out side. I saw a red Ferrari in the street. I then remember feeling really anxious as I looked in my jacket pocket to see if the keys to this car were there. After quite a bit of searching I found the keys to the car, I did not get in it. Weird! End
I hope esse or someone will have an idea what to make of my dreams.
Levitation is something I'd love to do as I hate flying in planes and I can afford to anyway so would be a cheap way of going holidays. Perhaps if I put my mind to it it will happen one day.
Thanks

I've been recalling my dreams nightly now for over 15 years . I wrote them down continuously for 7 years , and a few random ones before that . I am aware i am dreaming always and now i Analise the dream meaning during my sleep so i more or less know what it means when i wake up .I can change a dream when i know I'm dreaming such as being at school now in my 40's with schoolmates the same as they where , i walk out telling them it's all a dream , but they stay to afraid to question authority ! Anyway i have never been able to see my hands to control it more like fly off to the moon or something despite the years of awareness .The movie waking life

This was a very significant dream I had a while back. I am now aware of what it meant but it was pretty crazy. Feel free to think about the symbolism and metaphor involved in this one. There is alot! ;)
I am deep in the woods. It is spring timish, maybe early summer, I am guiding some people across the mountain through the area I live. I don't really know them, but they need help navigating their way through the woods. I am walking along when I hear a rustling noise off to the side. The group of course is alarmed, I look at the moving brush and out comes a little bear cub. Now instantly given the time of year and everything I knew exactly what this meant and it meant trouble. As I turn to warn the group, I see them start running. The cub who wants to play is latching on to my leg and jumping up to play with me so I can't really join them.
When I turn back the next second, there were no long lapses of time as this all seemed to happen rather instantaneously, I see a huge bear almost in front of me, maybe 10 15 yeards, come charging through the brush at me and the next thing I know she is on top and I am in big shit! No one in the group came back. I realized that my struggle at least afforded the group of people an ample opportunity to escape but what a price to pay. I did not want to really hurt the bear and I understood why she was doing what she was to me. I felt no fear, I felt no anger, I just felt my will to survive the attack kick in. If I could get free and run, I most certainly would, but she was too big.
We struggled for what seemed like hours, and I began taking more and more damage. At a point I thought maybe she is to kill me. I laid there and took more thrashing. No. I couldn't. That wasn't right. My will to live was too strong. Something said I have to go on. She said. A voice. Feminine. A whisper in the wind as I lay there bleeding.
I ended up hugging up close to the bear's neck and wrapping myself around her, tucking my head right under her chin so she couldn't bite me anymore. I had received some rather nasty chomps and was losing alot of blood. She then started falling onto me and using her weight as a crushing weapon while I held tight. Now she was busting ribs and I had to do something. I was going to die, I could feel it. I would not last much longer. It was then that my eye spotted a knife on the ground. I picked it up.
What I did next was painful. I began stabbing the bear with the knife over and over until she let go of me. By that time she had received fatal wounds and she was bleeding to death. I was really mixed up about my actions. I really didn't want to have it end like that. She slumped and we both sat back barely breathing and bleeding everywhere. I saw then the damage I had done. Her heart hung out of her chest. Her beautiful fur was matted with sweat and caked with blood. And as her cub came up to her, she let out her final breath and simply fell over and lay on her side. The cub of course was rather confused.
And so I looked around me. The little cub sniffing his dead mom trying to provoke a reaction. I cried. I felt horrible. What the hell did I do? Why didn't I just die? As tears of guilt and frustration streamed down my face, I couldn't even bring myself to look at the dead bear or her cub. Her orphan by my hand. Then I heard her again. The voice in the wind so gentle and calm. Her words soothed my soul but still sadness remained for what was done. I then felt a warm tongue lick my face. The little cub had come to me and was being playful like nothing had happened. He was so innocent if that word ever meant a damn thing.
I then swore to take him as my own. I followed the voice and the words that came with it. I would never turn my back on mother earth again.
I can give my analysis and really go in depth about this one, but I will do so later. It could get pretty lengthly. Hope you enjoyed it. It was quite a dream.

The other night I had a dream I was eating a huge marsh mallow....I woke up to find myself chewing the pillow :)

2) More recently, a few months ago I had another dream where I was standing in a building and then I levitated off the ground. I remember it requiring a bit of effort to get off the ground.

Hey Peter, there's not a lot I can say about these - but I know flying relates to confidence and to sexuality... So it could be that yr first dream, flying "unaided" (suprized by this? That's the interesting psychological thing in #1) over trees - you were experiencing freedom in this dream and confidence which led to natural ability, something impossible you found you could do with ease when you relaxed. Natural confidence - flying dreams also about freedom.
The 2nd dream yr experiencing obstacles to this however, you are levitating, but there is a person/weight on yr back making it hard (aspect of you - coal carrying pos'n - aspect of you as worker??? or blackness of coal - darker shades implied... not evil so much as subconscious dark matter in oneself which occludes..) It just seems to be about struggling with yrself - in these areas, re-calling and seeking that freedom again, but the inner obstacles kicking in and giving you a bit of a battle... Would seem to be about self doubt fighting confidence - feelings of freedom and ability fighting with the parts of you that doubt this...
As for the 3rd dream - ???? Haven't got a clue... The last line I found the most intriguing how you found the car keys but didn't get in the car -
Perhaps this relates to the other dreams, you know you can fly but you're not always using it...
Ferrari's are pretty sexy too :)
Lots of latent confidence going on....
So... where would you go if you did get in and drive?

Hey, i had a dream a week or two ago that i was flying, and many others were too!
and the funny thing was i had to really concentrate to get of the ground and landing was hard to get right, i remember sitting outside a 4 or 5 story block window having a cup of tea, i had a stsh of things there, like on a window cil....no a small window roof. i am being completely honest, i remember it really affected me for a few days, wanting to go back to the dream!!!
my other dream was i was swimming in water and there was no land in sight other than a tower block and sharks were trying to bite out my rib cage, man i feking hate them ones......

Hi Esse!:D
Thank you very much for your reply. I appreciate the things you said.
I see from your bio that you are a Rock Goddess, I have not been in contact with a Rock Goddess before so I am pleased as punch!:D How are things in Australia?
It is strange that my dreams represent confidence because I am not normaly that confident; I worry a lot also about the events that are happening in the world. I am also unemployed last 2 years.
I love the idea of levitation and I have heard that people do it in India and also Tibet. One day I'd like to travel to these places perhaps when the NWOrder is destroyed.
The Ferrari was odd. As I was searching for the keys I could feel the apprehention that I would not find them. Then not to get in it was odd too and I don't remember what I did next.
Where would I drive to in a Ferrari? Besides a pertrol station LOL I expect it would be to a nice big house to park it next to my Lamborghini:D. A drive out in the countryside in the Cotswolds, which looks nice in "Midsomer Murders", would be nice and peaceful. Then to show off I would go to a drive-thru McDonald's. My actual last car was a Nissan Micra :eek:
Thanks again Esse,
Peter:)
Hey Peter, yeah I've heard similar things about people really being able to levitate... I'd love to see that! I like interpreting dreams, I've been interested in them for a long time - when I was a child, I could rarely remember dreams - and often told people I didn't actually sleep - I just lay there and rested - I knew this because I didn't dream I would say... In highschool though, I learned about a method for increasing one's ability to re-call dreams by keeping a dream journal - just writing down as much as you could remember, whatever it was - right upon waking - started doing this, and got to the point where I could remember sometimes 8 dreams in a row in vivid detail - Have kept them since and studied dream symbology a bit - heck, figure it's a good 1/3rd of our lives we spend in sleep - so well worth taking an interest... It has given me a lot of insight into myself and into dreams in general - I especially find that I can tell now the difference between a prophetic dream, a dream that is astral traveling and speaking with others, or just a symbolic dream where yr mind is trying to speak to you, the subconscious speaking thru symbols - there are dreams that just happen because you ate a big dinner too close to bedtime or just mental waffle too... You get to know after awhile.... I don't lucid dream more than once every decade - have tried to learn, but the hands thing never worked for me either.... Still interested in it though... and in shamanic dream practices...

I really do not know how to say this without sounding like a nut but here i go.
these first few paragraphs are from a conversation I had before the dream that I had.
About 10 or 12 years ago I was a lost soul wondering around the country[ america] trying to find my way. lol.. well i was just partying and hanging out..
anyways I ended up in a ladys house in claremont NH who immediately reconized me even though I had never been to the town before. she told me my mothers name and my fathers name. I later found out my mother had lived there when she was younger.and one of her daughters was actualy my cousin. well we sat down and she started telling me all things that I was not ready to hear. things about myself. the way I was feeling inside , and the reasons for me feeling the way that I did. I did not know what to think. she told me that she was in communication with beings from other planets and what not. A part of me heard what she was saying but for the most part my mind was tuned out of the conversation. I DIDNT THINK SHE WAS CRAZY. I just wasnt ready I guess. so we were talking about many things . all of which im sorry to say I cant reamber. we were smoking weed and drinkin a little.a few things stand out though. she told me that my confusion was comming from the fact I was born under two moons. a light one and a dark one. and that was causing conflict with myself. I have asked and asked but no one since her had been able to explane that to me. i wish I would have paid more attention. and she told me that i was powerful but I have choices to make as to where my power would be drawn to. well anyways I had to leave after a while even though a part of me wanted to stay and learn more. but I guess i wasnt ready yet. before i left she looked at me and tole me I was going to have a dream that night. she said I was not ment to react with no one in the dream and no matter what I should not try to fight what i was going to encounter in my dream. just sit back and watch and listen
The Dream.
I went to sleep that night and found myself in a strange dream. there were other people around but it was different from any dream that i ever had before.it was like they were their own beings. a few of the people came to me and told me what was happening. they were basicly trying to show me something that I was not suspose to know existed. I was to basicly hide and watch. . there was some thing like a boxing match going on and the someone i was suspose to see was not there yet. I have a feeling the "boxing match" was set up for me to be shown something. it was fake, just a show to bring whatever i was suspose to see out into the open. I guess whatever it was it liked violence. looking back with what I know now i can see that.
from here on in the dream it get fuzzy. but I will try to explain to the best I can.dont take the things i saw and say literly . it was just my perception on what i was seeing and I have a feeling my perception on the events were not all of what was happening ,well there was like a thrown set up next to the ring and whatever was suspose to be there wasnt yet . i was watching the match and something strange happened. there was alot of confusion and darkness and I was what I percieve as shot in the chest. I looked down at my body and saw the flesh and felt free . it was surreal. there was a group of us and the rest looked confused and scared . I guess whatever was suspose to come was upset with the show we were doing and the fact I was there. for some reason I believed it was as scared as me as I was of it. so that made me stronger in a way. but I also got the feeling it wanted me dead. I was doing exactly what the lady had previously told me not to do. I was reacting. we were at what i seemed to me like a castle and we were scared. we were brought forth to a chamber and were standing in front of a number of chairs i think there were 13 in all but im not sure. there was a little person among us and another one that seemed like he knew what was going on but didnt like it. then all hell broke loose. we heard a loud scream. it was deep and it chilled my bones. we ran into a little tunnel and we were thinking of a way to excape when something immence came out of what i call a lake next to the castle. it was like a dragon but not one. you know what i mean. i looked down and saw i was holding somthing like a sword and i could fly. I fought with the "Dragon" or what seemed like forever and finaly had it contained in what i call a small "ball". the group I was with was looking at me in surprise and they moved to form a circle around the "Ball" that contained the "Dragon" they were chanting something and holding hands. it looked to me like they were trying to contain it. then I heard a voice tell me that water resurects it. then out of no where the little person i described earlier threw a bucket of water on it and it grew to an enormous size . it had no form but i will continue to call it a dragon. It was angry and hunting me. and this time I was running scared. I woke up and the dream was over.
Hey Lost --- Don't think yr crazy - Sounds like a very unsettling experience however... How bizarre to find yrself at this woman's house (how ever did you end up there?!???) - you had no idea she was a relation or friend of yr mothers or that yr mother had lived there before.... Can you say how she was related - is she a relation or just a friend of yr mothers or what? I'd like to hear more of the story. It kinda makes me wonder - how she knows so much about you, astrologically - etc - I mean, occultists know these sorts of things and study them - and to tell you you were going to have such a dream, occultists can also influence and enter dreams and it doesn't sound like the characters in yr dream were you or normal for you. So this all makes me wonder if there may be something hidden going on there - Something yr family is influenced or affected by.... The dragon in the dream seems to be a negative figure - one you tried to keep at bay though others in the dream wanted to increase it's power - and you felt haunted by this. I would ask if it has bothered you since at all - if there is anything about all this still troubling you or not? Has yr sleep or dreams been disturbed - etc..
I do know of one friend who had family members in occult groups and some strange things have happened in his life and the life of other people around him and related to him - what you are saying reminds me a bit of his story... It's good to look for answers to stuff like this - There may be things to discover.
