This is amazing stuff. Di you sound as engrossed in this as my younger sister (also called Di funnily enough!) She reakons that simple analysis of dreams through a dictionary does'nt work, she too feels it is your inner self sending a message. If you don't mind I'll pass your thoughts on to her. Very very interesting. Has everyone noticed dreams have become far more prolific since doing MWO?

HI Elizabeth..I can recommend some awesome books if your sister is interested.
I do find that I dream much more prolifically when I'm undergoing changes or when I'm in transitional phases in my life. I journal them...once you start paying attention to them, you tend to exercise the 'access' muscle and are able to recall them much more. We are always dreaming..but most of us just don't turn the dial to the 'dream channel', so to speak. I also think it's important to remember that the dreams are not coming from something other than one's deeper self which transcends the personality and language, which is why images (symbols) are the language of our dreams.

oops..one more thing that is important to note...symbol IS the language of our dreams so everything in your dreams really is symbolic of something and you are the best interpreter of it..there are some symbols that tend to be universal, but one has to use their own discernment...look for colors, time of day, feelings of the dream...also, the 'observer' of the dream is usually the ego..it is really very cool when the 'observer' becomes observes..I had a 'numinous' dream once where I shifted from two aspects of myself. I saw it as a sign that much work was being done that showed me that my ego is moving from serving only itself to serving my highest self..or my christ self, so to speak..occassionally we'll have one like that and it is a true gift that stays with you always.

Ok guys......
I had a dream this morning or last night. I think it was closer to morning as that is when I seem to dream the most. My hubby gets up at 4:00 am and goes out of the house so I think some part of me enjoys the silent room! A snorer!
The dream... I went and bought myself a red convertiable and brought it home and left it in the driveway. I didn't tell my hubby and had a real case of dread about telling him.
Oh...and my former pastor was on the phone whispering ....

I see all kinds of messages here but just thought I would see what yours are!

Southernbelle...here is my initial response to your dream...if it were my dream I would see the car as a symbol for how I'm proceeding through life..red represents passion for me, or even strong emotions..could even be some anger..I would aks myself if my anger was propelling me or motivating me in any way (could be positive or negative)..I would ask myself how I felt about the car. Your husband, most likely being a symbol for your masculine side and very often, shows up (in waking and dreaming life) as the 'critic'..the voice within that says, "what the heck are you buying a red convertible for? irresponsibe...blah, blah

The priest also represents your 'animus' (masculine side) ...being a spiritual guide..looking after your higher self..he may be saying 'go for it'..this is good and you need your 'red' to get through life. The question seems to be, 'who are you going to listen to'? If our animus is not recognized..it will exert itself negatively...and is often critical..overly so...you can just say, 'thank you for sharing', but I would like to talk with my priest..and ask the priest what you should do.

....this is if it were my dream. :0)

oh, and Southernbelle..remember that the 'animus' isn't good or bad, but needs to be acknowledged and integrated into your 'self' in order for you to grow, for example, I need a good strong healthy animus to put my art out into the world..many of my dreams deal with the animus...I've found that I don't trust it always, and it has cost me. I'm learning to trust it, and as I do so, I don't hear the 'critic' as much.

Thanks Di andMar!
I may just have to go for it! It is passionate, isn't it? I do think I'll leave my "Pastor" at home though!

:h Nan

ps. Do you think that If I don't recognize my "animus".....it could lead to passive aggressive behavior?

Wow. Dreams. Two days and nights produced very weird dreams for me. Maybe they have been weird for a while but I am now remembering them. And OhMyGod - what the heck is going on in my brain? There was so much weird stuff last night, I don't even know where to begin. Only thing I can clearly see is that I got some stuff I must feel strongly about and it is manifesting itself in bizarre dreams!!!! Cause me and Teri Hatcher don't usually hang out together and discuss our pregnancies.....very strange

Hawk..LOL...I hAd a dream once where I was a business partner with Paula Abdule...we sat around a conference table and I took a call from a client...she was obviously a 'senior' partner in our relationship..she was 'coaching' me..so to speak on the call...I thought of American Idol..and considered that she may represent the shadow side of me that has always wanted to dance..she had the confidence to do it, but I was afraid....it was a very enlightening dream and I felt blessed to be able to interpret it with deeper meanings.

Oh My God Di - I must want to be a Desperate Housewife!!! Wait a minute.....I already am a desperate housewife.....

It was just so bizarre - and that was just one part of it. There were like 3 other equally weird scenarios going on simultaneously. And I repeat, no wine since Friday....

I'm glad you got something out of yours that is meaningful. I wish I could get something out of mine. At least something I might understand!

hey Belle...If it were my dream, i would really doubt that it had anything to do with my husband..he often shows up in my dreams, but I know it's about me...I think you may be holding yourself back from driving that little red corvette..metaphorically speaking, that is. We often project those kinds of things onto our mates. hmm??
