Hi,
First, thanks for getting back to me with what you can recall. Before I go into the dream fragments you indicated below, I can give you some advice from me to you.
Before you go to sleep each night, tell yourself you are going to remember your dream. Then, when you wake up in the middle of the night or in the morning, before you move your body around try to recall your dreams.
At first, you might not recall anything. Don’t give up. Keep doing it every night. What will happen is you will begin to recall fragments of your dreams. Record this, no matter how trivial or weird it seems.
The next thing you’ll find happening is you’ll actually recall a scene. Keep it up. You might find more dream fragments. Regardless, your dream recall will slowly improve.
Then, one day, you’ll find yourself able to recall more than one scene. You’ll find, over time, your recall will slowly improve.
If you doubt yourself or say, “This hasn’t worked” and give up, then you will be where you are now. Persistence is everything. So have a persistent, positive intent. You will be surprised at what you then recall.
Now back to your dreams…
I state again that I am not a doctor, psychiatrist or psychologist. So, you should still continue to work with these types of folks.
Having said this below 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 say 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 here. 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 dream location.
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.
I recommend you look at the resources page where you’ll find an extensive list of things to look at.
Lastly, I want to make a note that we are the producers, directors, script writers and often main actors in our dreams. Therefore, there is nothing in our dreams by chance. It’s a language to teach ourselves about ourselves.
So with this said, back to my dream…
The first thing I note is that I am outside. When I am outside in a dream, it’s usually what I call a “teaching dream” as opposed to when I am inside something it’s what I call a “learning dream”. So what’s the difference?
When I am inside belief compartments, the belief walls effectively isolate me from my higher self. I am therefore usually learning on my own. As I progress, windows appear and then slowly walls disappear…all part of a learning process.
When I am outside, there are no belief walls constricting me. My higher self and others can then instruct me. That’s why I call it a “teaching dream”. So, in this first scene I am in a “teaching dream”.
I am outdoors in a cemetery. I wish I could recall the lighting in the dream scene. I will tell you why such that in future dreams you can then begin to learn to interpret your own dreams yourself.
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.
Back to my dream…
I want to note that if my dream is dark, I don’t get all upset over it. Why not? It’s simply like a road sign saying “turn on your lights” except in this case I’m learning I need to “en-lighten” myself by beginning to focus on the beliefs the dream is about. So, don’t get depressed when this happens. Instead, get excited because now you know about it and are becoming aware that you need to begin to contemplate this in a positive manner.
In this dream it is extremely bright. That means my over soul, or higher self or whatever you want to call it is assisting me. Note from me to you…
At the end of this interpretation is a suggestion you read a easy to read fictional trilogy about an over soul and some of it’s entities. I strongly suggest you read this. It will help give you a broader frame of reference to your over soul and who you really are.
“At first it is in front of me, but eventually I can see myself sitting on my coffin.” There are several points I want to make here.
When things are “in front of us” in or dreams, it means this is what we should first focus on spiritually. Sometimes in our dreams, we might find ourselves looking out through our eyes in the dream and also above looking down. This is us, learning that we are much more than our physical bodies. We have the ability to get out of our bodies and observe ourselves.
Next, I note that in this teaching dream, I am sitting. I will take a brief aside here and tell you what I’ve learnt about sitting, standing, etc. from my dreams and then return to you sitting on the coffin.
When I am lying down in dream, it’s a symbol that I don’t have any spiritual ability yet to even see the effects of some of my beliefs.
When I am sitting, it’s a symbol that I need spiritual support to see the effects of some of my beliefs.
When I am standing, it’s a symbol that I now can stand on my own two spiritual feet to see the effects.
When I am walking, it’s a symbol that I am now steadily moving through the beliefs.
When I am running, it’s a symbol I am moving relatively quickly through the beliefs.
Note that I have found that spiritual time and our time are too different things. Usually my dream time is far faster than my physical time. So when I am running etc. I realize that it still will take “some time”.
Back to the dream…
So, I am showing myself I need spiritual support to see some of the effects of the beliefs this dream is about. It’s like giving ourselves a spiritual progress report on the beliefs the dream is about. So, I am sitting and not lying down. I now know I have made spiritual progress to get this far. If I choose to listen to myself and this dream, I will learn to stand on my own two spiritual feet. When I am ready to, I will then begin to work my way through the belief spiritually, i.e. walk.
“I am talking to my mom(she is still alive) while watching funeral procession come and go.”
I will take this in chunks…
First, why am I locating my dream in a cemetery? Cemetery’s are a place we bury our dead physically. It’s usually associated with death. I am using this in my dream to learn about physical death versus spiritual life.
Next I have an object in my dream. When objects appear in my dreams, they are usually the first symbols of beliefs I must work on. In this dream it’s a coffin.
Coffins are boxes we put dead bodies into and then bury in the ground. They are usually made of wood, i.e. symbols of my dead feminine based beliefs, i.e. made of dead trees. Further, I note that I am supported by the underlying old dead feminine based belief, i.e. it’s holding me up while I spiritually sit on it.
The symbol of my dead feminine based belief is resting on top of my feminine, i.e. the ground. So, I now know my old dead feminine belief is separating me from my feminine.
My mom is in this scene. Is she my mom or, is she a symbol? She’s my mom. So why’s she in the dream scene?
She’s showing me that she too shares the same underlying dead feminine based belief I do. She’s also letting me know that she is spiritually working with me on this. So now I am beginning to realize I am not on my own spiritually speaking, i.e. my over soul is shining down assisting me and my mom too is also working with me spiritually speaking!
“I can't remember the topic(s) we talk about but it gives me a great sense of peace, one of the few dreams that does that. As things progress, I get translucent until I disappear completely.”
This is the power of dreams. If we learn to listen to ourselves we will guide ourselves to our higher selves where we are beings of love.
Note from me to you: This is actually contrary to what you wrote in your first post, i.e. “Even my subconscious knows I suck.”
Here’s what I ‘ve learnt about myself and my dreams. What I believe in deep down I materialize on the surface. So, if I think I’m no good in the inner beliefs, then on the surface that’s what I materialize.
Back to my dream…
“…while watching funeral procession come and go.” So, around my mom and I is a ceremony of what people do when a person dies. They form a procession and then bury the dead body in the ground.
Here’s the message of the dream. I don’t die when I die physically. I am a spiritual being that is much more than my physical body. I watch the old beliefs in effect pass me by. It’s in this life, if I choose to listen to myself and my dreams, that I can begin to shed the old beliefs.
“As things progress, I get translucent until I disappear completely.” I am showing myself that I can change my spiritual focus in my dreams. This is an ability that I don’t often see in the hundreds of dream interpretations I do every year. So from me to you – take note.
You are showing yourself that you have more spiritual abilities than you likely think you have. You can travel via your dreams to many other dimensions. HOWEVER, you have to put in the spiritual heavy lifting to do this.
Therein lies the choice of this dream. If I choose to, I can choose to ignore this wonderful dream. I will then be stuck with thinking I suck, feeling sorry for myself and my existing circumstances. 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 acupuncture 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 hemi-sync 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 some of her own books.
The books I am referring to are a 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




PS You have selected a life with lots of challenges, which you know better than me. HOWEVER, you are also sending yourself messages that all is not lost. When you have the seizures it takes you to dreams. If I were you, I would take this as a major spiritual wake up call. I am trying to get myself to learn to listen to myself.
I’m not saying the way ahead is easy BUT it is totally possible for you to learn to recall your dreams, learn about yourself and then help others based on what you’ve learnt.
