help with dream anyone?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I had a rather unpleasant dream last night. I am not getting crazy

about it like last dream but I do hope it wasnt a message of bad to

come.

In my dream I'm kinda lucid, but don't know I'm dreaming, so here

goes...

It is late at night and I am walking around these big fields filled

with tall kinda grasses. I think they are crunchy and slippery.

Anyway they are growing in what appears to be a retention pond area

as I am on a path on the outside looking down at them as I am walking

peacefully. All of a sudden my husband pulls up on the side of the

road across this field and is upset with me because he's been out

looking for me. He's kinda yelling at me that he told me not to go

out driving by myself at night (In waking life I like to drive late

at night drinking my hot tea, looking at the sky, enjoying the peace

and listening to a little coasttocoast)

I see these clouds roll in very very low and now know why he wants me

to get in the car. I still have to go down the path alongside the

field to get there. So I happily start running trying to beat the

clouds. For some reason I can't let them touch me. As I'm running

they are now just beginning to cross the path. I think as I running

faster for momentum that I can just jump over them. So I do (usually

when I do this in a dream I can start flying) Well I realize in mid-

air that I'm not gonna make it and that the cloud kinda touches my

feet. I think it is real hot or for some reason know I have to avoid

them, so I change my direction and jump into the field. I am not

worried, I figure I'll just run through the tall grasses to the car.

But when I jump into the field I just keep dropping and dropping and

dropping. I didnt know how deep the field was. Now I'm just what I

believe falling to my death. I'm kinda panicky and know I'm going to

die. The falling goes on and on. I realize I'm going to suffocate in

these grasses and I will never be able to climb up, because I'm going

to slide down. I wish I could tell you all that I gracefully

surrendered, but I can't. Yes, I knew I was going to die and knew it

was to be and that there was no way out, yet I wasn't happy about it.

I was also afraid of the suffocation. I felt that I couldnt breathe.

Anyway I did actually hit bottom and then I woke up.

As soon as I woke up I wondered if this was a bad omen or am I

misinterpeting it. I then remembered Chrisms warning about

dismemberment and wondered if I would have stayed there at the bottom

without panicking and waking up, what would have happened. So I was

kinda disappointed in myself. I hope its not a warning, but there it

is...would love some input.

 

On a lighter note I was doing the Tibetans today with the blinds half

open. I live on a dead end street and am surrounded by tall bushes so

noone can see in. I was wearing a pair of rolled up sweat pants and a

bra. I'm spinning around doing the first Tibetan and just as I'm

finishing the last one, I hear my mailbox lid shut. OMG the mailman

saw me spinning around in my bra! I dived to the floor but alas was

too late!

Perhaps my dream of falling was to warn me " down down, before he sees

you! " HA

 

Sorry this is so long!

Your crazy shirtless friend,

A diversity of meaning here really. This is about sudden change.

And how it can have an effect on those around us. Those who may not

enjoy a change in one they have come to know in a certain way, so

there is this first idea.

 

Then there is the phenomenon of the clouds and the hot sensation on

the foot from touching them. This would be the Shiva aspect or the

sacred male aspect of the Shaktipat and of the practice you are

engaging. The grass and the falling into it would be the Shakti

aspect. The sacred feminine as she is the earth and the growing

things and is the other half of the equation that you are exploring.

 

It is also a matter of control and the surrender of control to

forces that are other than the known " YOU " the ego you that doesn't

want to shift control to a higher aspected " you " . This dream can

illustrate the real qualities of what you can experience. Yes the

suffocation feeling and panic was a product of fear.

 

No worries Deb. Be sure to do the complete practice not just the

Tibetans. Do some service and some forgiveness and reach into your

gratitude's. Part of the dream is a warning that you need more

conditioning - more of a practice of the safeties. More surrender.

And to communicate what you are doing with your loved one that he

may know and understand and accept any symptoms and changes that may

occur because of your experiences. - my take on your dream -
