Hello!

It’s been my own personal experience that when we have the same type of dream over and over, across long lengths of time, that we are not listening to ourselves. When we do, the dream is no longer required.

So, with that said, here is my interpretation of your dream as if it was mine. Dreams are for each of us to interpret on our own. Therefore, if anything I saw below doesn’t resonate with you, then simply discard it. So with that said, off I go…

When I do my own interpretations or that of others, I always start with the location. I could have located it anywhere, at any time in any reality and…I’ve located it inthis specific house. I’ve learnt that locations help to “spiritually frame in” a dream.

I will take the first of several sidebars here to help you understand the framework I use when interpreting a dream. This one will cover what I’ve learned about beliefs, belief compartments, people and the age of people. Then I’ll return to myself in the house.

In my dreams, things that are made by people are symbols of masculine and things of nature are symbols of feminine. I’ve learnt that before we incarnate, we carefully select the times we will live in, our families, life circumstances, challenges and potential exit points. We then carefully select our personality.

I’ve learnt we do this by selecting approximately 200 different “belief filters”. These are energy filters that have two polarities, a feminine one and a masculine one. We select the degree of polarity we are going to hold the belief, i.e. the degree of feminine or masculine. This then determines the belief vibratory level.

Each belief then works with the other beliefs, each with their own vibratory rate. They literally “filter our reality” by blocking out the greater reality vibrations we actually come from. They create the aura around us and create our thoughts/feelings for each moment.

We constantly tell ourselves about this in our dreams. We use symbolism to show ourselves about the beliefs and their limiting effects on us spiritually. We also show ourselves the “dis-ease’ created by some of our beliefs using colours in our dreams.

In my dreams buildings are symbols of what I call ‘belief compartments’. I’ve learnt that each wall is a symbol of a belief. Furniture within them are symbols of yet more beliefs that work with the overall beliefs to produce what I call are ‘belief effects’.

To symbolize to ourselves the many different types of beliefs we use in all our many lives, we often create our dreams in towns, cities or houses.

I’ve often found that in many of my dreams, people appear in the rooms or buildings. When I first began to record my dreams, many years ago, I frequently found myself in large warehouses full of boxes I had to climb over or in rooms in houses full of furniture. Imagine my surprise when I eventually learnt they boxes and furniture were symbols of masculine based beliefs I had to address first before I got to the walls!

As I spiritually listened to myself, over time, the rooms began to empty. Then I was walking through empty rooms. The next step was to see glass walls, windows and open doors, all symbols of how I was beginning to work my way out of the old belief walls. Then the walls began to disappear. In the end, I was usually flying over the old beliefs.

In many of my dreams when I began to keep a record of my dreams,, I would find myself in multi-storied houses. I then realized these are symbols of numerous belief compartments I use in one or more of my lives.

Then I found myself in towns and cities. I then realized that each one is a symbol of various belief compartments I have used in another life.

I will take another sidebar here and describe what I’ve learnt about people in my dreams…

When I first began recording my dreams, I would often find people in my dreams that I didn’t know or ones that I did know but they were doing strange things. When I tried to literally interpret my dreams, it usually didn’t work.

I had a near death experience 12 years ago that changed me. One of the changes was a determination to learn to meditate. I had stopped and started meditation all my life and had in effect gone nowhere in a hurry. So this time I was determined to stick with it.

I slowly learnt how to touch my “higher self”. One day, the thought came to me to use my higher self to assist me in interpreting my dreams. Then the dream gates swung wide open.

I’ve since learnt that people in my dreams may be who they are, symbols of my masculine and feminine, other lives, teachers, guides, oversoul, aspects of myself, people who I frequently incarnate with, etc.

When I first began to record my dreams I frequently began to see an old couple. They might change their appearance but there was almost always an old man and woman in the dream. Then a young girl and by appeared.

They too sometimes changed but they were now in the same dream as the old couple. However, they were “bit players” in my dreams as the old couple was the ones I was interacting with.

At first, I had no idea who these people were. Then, as I learnt to mediate and apply my higher self to my dream interpretations, my dreams gates swung open.

First, I learnt that the old man and women were symbols of my masculine and feminine. Next, I learnt that the young girl and boy were symbols of the feminine and masculine I could become. So I then used the terms “old masculine and feminine” and “young masculine and feminine” to describe these dream symbols to myself.

As I began to address my underlying beliefs, the old couple disappeared from my dreams and the young ones spiritually grew up.

I’ve learnt that people’s age in dreams is important.

When infants are in my dreams as other lives, this is usually a symbol we are just beginning our journey through the beliefs the dream is about.

When teenagers show up I realize I am making steady progress through my dreams.

When mature adults show up, it’s a sign that I am now spiritually maturing in dealing with the beliefs.

When old people show up in my dreams, I let out a sound of joy! It’s a sign that I am now ready to release the old beliefs.

I then learnt that things made out of natural materials are symbols of feminine beliefs that are now no longer working for me. In effect, spiritually speaking, they are now “dead” for me, i.e. dead trees – wood, etc. So, whenever I am in rooms made of wood or standing on wood, etc. I refer to this in my mind as “dead feminine”.

About a year and a half ago, I felt compelled to put together a free website documenting what I have learnt. At first, I didn’t want to because I felt what I had learnt was akin in my mind to a teaspoon of water compared to all the oceans’ water, i.e. not much. However the feeling persisted.

Today if you go to ‘learningfrommydreams’ dot com you’ll see what I created. If you go there, I suggest you look at 3 things. One is the meditation page where I list all sorts of different ways to meditate. Find one that works for you.

Then I recommend you read the dream discussion paper I posted on the website. It describes the symbolism I’ve learnt including people.

Finally, I recommend you look at the resources page where you’ll find an extensive list of things to look at.

So with this said, back to my dream…

So there I am within a symbol of a masculine based belief compartment, i.e. a room. Each wall, floor and ceiling are symbols of masculine based beliefs I hold that are now beginning to “spiritually hem me in”.

There is some good news here – To my feminine side, i.e. left, there is a symbol of a gap in one of my belief walls, i.e. a window. So, this shows me I am making spiritual progress with the belief the wall represents. I can now begin to see through the belief to my greater reality, i.e. the outside.

To my masculine side, i.e. right, is a door out of the belief compartment.

In front of me is “the fragile door”. I perceive it as fragile, i.e. there is a gap beginning to grow in my wall. I likely don’t want to face it and therefore instead of joyfully perceiving is for what it is, i.e. a symbol of my spiritual progress, I instead fear that something will be able to penetrate my belief walls.

I note that below me is a “sandy floor”. This too is good news. Why? It shows that I have made spiritual progress in releasing old masculine based beliefs that I used to spiritually support me, i.e. the floor. Now, it’s feminine, i.e. sand, i.e. of nature.

Lighting in my dreams is important. I will take a side bar here and describe what I’ve learnt about lighting in my dreams…

Lighting in my dreams is very important. It is a way of symbolizing how much en-lightenment I have with respect to the beliefs the dream is about.

Dark in my dreams is a symbol of where I haven’t yet spiritually explored my beliefs. Sunlight is a symbol that my over soul is assisting me.

When I am in rooms with no windows or doors, it’s a symbol that I am “en-lightening” myself on my own.

If there are windows and the sun is shining through, it’s a symbol that some of my belief walls are beginning to be removed and my over soul is now beginning to assist me.

Morning is a symbol I am beginning to make progress on my beliefs. Noon is a symbol I am now able to shed full spiritual enlightenment on beliefs the scene is a symbol of. Evening is a time when I am in a place of spiritual darkness with respect to the beliefs.

If it’s winter, it’s a sign that I need to reflect on my beliefs since they are frozen. If it’s spring, it’s a time that I am beginning to make spiritual progress on the beliefs. If it’s summertime, it’s a symbol that my work is now bearing spiritual fruit. If it’s fall, it indicates I am heading towards a period where I can reap the benefits by releasing old beliefs.

In this belief compartment the lighting “was dull.” S, I am showing myself that I need to “en-lighten” myself. It’s time to learn to face whatever beliefs this masculine based belief room is a symbol of.

It’s night but there is a bit of daylight. I am showing myself that my higher self has been trying to assist me, i.e. the sunlight. However, I am not wanting to listen to myself, so that’s why a time of spiritual darkness is around me, i.e. night.

Note: I can change this by learning to listen to myself!

There’s some more good news in this room – there isn’t any other objects. What I’ve learnt from my dreams is that objects in rooms are symbols of yet more beliefs that work together with the belief walls. They are what I need to concentrate on first.

As I address the beliefs the room and the objects are symbols of, the room begins to empty. That’s the good news – I only now have to learn to face whatever the walls and ceiling are symbols of.

Now I turn my attention to the people in the dream…

“Most of time I was alone, a few times with my kids, and they're small in the dream.” “They're very close to me.” “One dream we were sleeping in a tend outside, and there were lions all over.” “I asked them to stay quiet. “

Is it my kids or are they symbols? It’s my kids.

So why are my small kids showing up in the dream scene with me? I’ve learnt that when people are in my dreams, they’re there for several reasons.

First is that they share the same underlying beliefs I do that the scene is about, i.e. the walls of the room or the tent.

Second, is that they are spiritually working with me on the same underlying beliefs.

Third is to convey to me by their age, were I am spiritually in addressing the underlying beliefs the scene is about. Remember that I am in a dream where time, space, age et al are totally controlled by…me. So, I am carefully selecting the people’s ages.

My kids are small. This indicates that all of us have a long ways to go, spiritually speaking before we can release the old beliefs the dream is about.

So now I come to the “stars” of my dream scenes….the dreaded lions.

When animals show up in my dreams, I always know they’re important. They can be one of three things: themselves, a symbol or a totem. They my totem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Totems are entities that use a life-form to guide us. They may be with us all of our lives or, they may go when they are done. In my life I’ve had two totems which have now moved on and some new ones appear.

Whenever I come across totems in my own dreams or that of others, I usually first refer to “Animal Speak” by Ted Andrews. In his book he outlines many different totems and describes some of their characteristics. Another online source I use is Spirit Lodge Forums.

So here’s what Ted says about lions…

Lion

Keynote: Assertion of the Feminine and the Power of the Female Sun
Cycle of Power: Year-round

The lion is the second largest member of the cat family. The traits of cats should be studied in general, for the lion embodies many of them. It makes its home on the savannas of Africa, and those with this totem would do well to study the significance of the savannas. The lion's main prey is the antelope and this should be studied as well.

The lion has been symbolic of a variety of energies throughout the years. It is a symbol of the sun and of gold. It was a symbol for the sun-god Mithra. The Egyptians believed that the lion presided over the annual floods of the Nile. Early Christians believed it to be the earthly opponent of the eagle. The medieval alchemists associated it with the fixed element of sulphur, and a young lion was often the symbol of the rising sun and all that is implied by it.

The lion is unusual among members of the cat family in that it will live in groups called prides. If a lion has shown up as a totem, you can expect lessons and issues dealing with community and groups to surface. There may be a need to examine your own role in the group.

Within the pride, the females are the best hunters. although most lions are clumsy hunters by themselves, they have developed an excellent cooperative hunting technique. The females, though, do most of the hunting and the rearing of the cubs. The lion cubs lead a relatively care-free existence. Their parents are patient and affectionate with the cubs, and most individuals with lions as totems will find those same qualities developing within themselves.

The males are most noticeable with their large manes. They do very little work. They can be passionate and excessively jealous of the lionesses. They protect the pride against predators. When hunting they use their roar to scare prey toward the waiting lioness. If a male lion has shown up as your totem, you may need to examine your usefulness within some group or community in your life. do you need to do more than you are? Do you need to be more protective? Do you need to cooperate more?

The lion does not fight for the sake of fighting. It avoids confrontations, and will leave the scent of danger if possible. This is a tactic to keep in mind if the lion is your totem. Lions also hunt primarily by stealth, and the most common method of killing is by strangulation. This technique is something for those with this totem to practice developing when pursuing new endeavors and objectives in any area of life. Be stealthy for the greatest success.

The idea of the young lion being associated with the rising sun is most significant. Since females of the pride do most of the work, it actually reflects the idea of the rising of the feminine energies. The sun has not always been a masculine symbol. It does give birth to new days, and it nurtures and warms life. Thus it is not stretching the correlation to see the lion as the assertion of feminine energies to bring forth birth and new power.

When a lion has shown up, there will be opportunity to awaken to a new sun. Trust your feminine energies--creativity, intuition and imagination. These will add new sunshine to your life. Don't be afraid to roar if you feel threatened or intruded upon.

My totem has been patiently waiting for me to finally learn to listen to myself and open myself up to their guidance. An now…..I FINALLY AM!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve learnt that thoughts and feelings are very important in my dreams. The first thought or feeling is the theme of the dream scene. “I thought that there were lions outside the house. “ So every dream about the lions begins with them outside my good old formerly secure masculine based belief compartment, i.e. room.

“Fear that they will get inside, and frustration that the house doors were open.” My masculine is afraid of my feminine. That’s why I am afraid they, the lions, i.e. symbols of my feminine, will actually get inside the belief walls I have constructed. These beliefs are part of a group of beliefs I have learnt to collectively call “command/control” beliefs.

I’ve learnt from my own dreams that the masculine based beliefs are afraid of my feminine. As a result, I build spiritual, mental and physical walls around me. These “walls” effectively protect myself from myself, i.e. my feminine.

In my dreams command/control beliefs are usually symbolized by a “Controller” and a “Controlee”. In this dream myself and my children are playing the part of a “controlee”. The lions are playing the part of a ‘Controller”. Note: I’ve played both parts thousands of times in my other lives.

So these good old masculine based beliefs create the following within me: “Fear that they will get inside, and frustration that the house doors were open.” I am trying so hard in this dream to show myself that my door in the belief wall is open and I am ready to allow my feminine in. HOWWVER, the beliefs the walls are symbols of create a great fear within me that my feminine will “eat me up” spiritually speaking. So, I then run around trying to frantically close my spiritual doors.

It’s been my experience that when I am under work and relationship stress, this is the time to use my feminine abilities to heal. HOWEVER, my masculine based beliefs don’t allow this. As a result, whenever I am under stress, my dreams use my totem to send myself a message that they and my feminine are patiently waiting for me to “open my spiritual door” to myself.

I then slam my spiritual door shut until the next time I’m under stress and the dreams reappear.

When I turn away from myself in dreams, it’s what I call “leaving a spiritual yellow sticky note to myself”. In my dream I’m not ready to face it. HOWEVER, now I know I don’t want to face it. It’s akin to me waving a spiritual flag in front of myself saying “Hey Me! It’s time to spiritually wake up and face this.” I then leave the sticky note inside myself knowing that at some point I can return and face myself.

Therein lies the choice of this dream. If I choose to, I can use the yellow spiritual sticky pad route and park my dream in my spiritual darkness….OR, I CAN LEARN TO LISTEN TO MYSELF.

Speaking from personal experience, this path is not always easy since one must learn to face oneself BUT IT IS HIGHLY REWARDING.

If I wanted to learn to listen to myself here are some suggestions I could use:
• Learn to listen to my intuition – it’s my spiritual radar
• Keep a dream journal – each night I get a course on myself
• Learn to meditate – this is a way to connect with the greater me

There are many ways one can get in touch with one self…

Meditation is one way. The old hindi's of 2,500-3,000 years ago wanted to have out of body experiences. They did this by occupying the conscious mind allowing their inner soul to rise. Today, this is called yoga and the OBE portion is mostly an afterthought.

When they were out of their bodies, they saw energy swirling into the body from the sun, from the earth and from the side. They called these main points "chakras". Then they saw that the energy went into small points they called "nadis".

They then did something that amazes me to this day. They mapped 70,000 different nadi points and then it went up to 100,000.

This knowledge crossed over the Himalayas and went down into China. It became adopted as energy meridian lines. Today accupuncture uses this.

Yoga is simply one of many ways. On Meditation ? Learning From My Dreams | Dream Interpretation I list several different ways to meditate. You can go there and see if any one of these resonates with you. If so, then give it a try.

Another way is to use the hemisync technology that Robert Monroe pioneered to help people get to the theta state and have out of body experiences. You can go to the Monroe Institute to learn more https://www.monroeinstitute.org/. Books Bob wrote can be found here https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=la_B00N...qid=1477584351

Another way is to go to a hypnotist trained by the Newton Institute. This was created by a psychologist Michael Newton. About 30 or so years ago, he had a woman under hypnosis who went to a place she called her "live between lives". He then found out that many of his other patients went to a very similar place. He then write three books and began to train psychologists how to do this. The Newton Institute can be found here The Newton Institute for Life Between Lives Hypnotherapy. On this website is a link to find a local therapist.

To learn about other lives, I suggest reading a fictional trilogy “Over Soul Seven” by Jane Roberts. She was a great channeler who brought through an entity names Seth in the 1970’s. He wrote many books through her. She also wrote her own.

The books I am referring to are a fictional trilogy she wrote to explain, in a simple story form, complex ideas about us incarnating many times, at the same time. It’s an easy read and good way to get one’s mind around the concept of an over soul and many other lives.

The choice is yours to make. I hope that some of what I’ve said above deeply resonates within you.

With kind regards,
Guy
