Is this dream related to my illness?

[Guest guest]

Going through my dream journal of this last week, I came across this

dream again from last Fri., first day of Shaktipat. It is long and

complex but I think has several messages in it. Just wondering if it

was related to my illness, Shaktipat or what? Here's the dream:

 

Where am I?...Nowhere? Oh, yeah, a suburban park. My daughter is

playing happily. It's also the neighborhood school's playground and

kids line up to go in to play. They are so excited! Anticipation is

making the goal even sweeter! I, on the other hand, am still in my

PJs, looking out a window of a building near it. It turns out not to

be an empty building but is used for classes sometimes. I've been

sleeping in a closet there. People start coming in with sheets of

music in their hands. Then my old choral director, G., comes in

(looking very thin) and his wife, V. carrying a violin case, both are

in concert dress (long black dress and tux). I run up and greet them

both enthusiastically (I haven't seen them in real life for over a

year now) and I'm still in my PJs. G. is very happy to see me, asks

me to stay and sing with this new group he's starting in this small

place. I look at the music--it's awfully simple, high school kids

could do it...it's not my cup of tea but I say I will, just to help

the new people out. V. smiles at me. They do a short rehearsal that's

not very good. Too few people, too many are women and not enough men

(as usual). As everyone leaves, I see another old friend from my

former choir, P. He is wearing a white dinner jacket and looks like

James Bond! I stop him and say hi and ask him what's up with the

fancy suit? He is surprised then laughs hugely to see me in my PJs.

He says he has to go now and we say bye. I'm in high school now,

looking through a home economics book for recipes. A lady teacher

comes behind me and whispers, " Going through it a second time must be

much easier and help alot " , referring to going through high school as

an adult. I agree that it is. Some children are near me having a book

sale. They are vocal in their selling style, touting these books

on " The Mysteries of Science " --Inventions! Discoveries! Mysteries

solved!--like it's a book about magic. They look like boy scouts but

are actually a science club. The books are red leather with fancy,

almost Victorian, lettering, like the books in bookstores now

called " The Daring Book for Boys " . I go back to my room when suddenly

3 ninja-type people come in, one right after the other, and try to

harm me with sharp weapons--a knife, a sword and an axe!! I'm able to

ward them off but for a peaceful person, why am I attracting these

assaults from someone??! After I recover from that shock, I hear a

door open down the hall and peeking out, see G and V come in and they

are arguing, it sounds like about a woman. V. is NOT happy at all and

G. is defensive, saying nothing is wrong with it. I get the uneasy

sense they are talking about me. I go out and to a communal room like

a student union hall. Against one wall is a long, low pew or bench,

with cushions and it's a long solid piece of furniture. It's back

curves up and over so it's hooded and the people in it seem to be

sitting in a wooden cave, secluded from the world sort of. About 20

people can sit there and some are meditating while others are like

gurus that consult with students, one right after another. There is

an opening at one end so I sit there, cross-legged like the others. I

have a glass of red wine. I notice the " guru " next to me has one,

too, but he is using his to dip a finger in and touch the 3rd eye of

people that come to him to awaken them. I'm amazed by this! Then my

choir director, G., comes walking by. I call out to him to get his

attention and he comes over and talks to me. He is kind and glad to

see me but I sense he's unhappy beneath the surface. I ask him why?

The " guru " next to me says with a chuckle, " The man has MAJOR wife

troubles! " which shocks G.! The guru whispers to me " You need to

dowse his 3rd eye wth the wine so he can SEE at last! " So I dip my

finger in my red wine and touch his brow making a circle then I drag

my finger down in a straight line to his heart/chest. His eyes go

wide and his mouth drops open. Does he see NOW? What does he see? He

leaves in a daze shortly after that. EOD

 

It seems like there are 2 or 3 dreams sort of melded together. I'm

wondering if the ninjas attacking me was the illness or something

more sinister? And I can't figure what my choral director is

symbolizing here. And as far as I know he's happily married. The

downsing of the 3rd eye with wine is interesting and I see the color

red comes up at least twice (root chakra, of course). Anyone that

would like to take a whack at some of this, it would be appreciated.

 

Love to all,

Valarie
