Last night I had a dream in which my Nana (who died in September 2009) was there. After hugging her and trying to comprehend if she was alive or not, I took a photo of her. The screen on my digital camera was fuzzy/static, which meant to me (during the dream) that she was dead and had somehow 'crossed over' to speak with me. She said something along the lines of "I don't have much time left" which in the dream meant to me that I would be dying soon. When asking how long I had left to live, she gave me a look that implied that she would not answer, or that it wasn't for me to know. Next she said that I would be with her soon. Prior to this part of the dream, I was travelling on a plane to my home town. I was happy that I had spent the entire flight asleep because I'm usually scared on flying. After landing in my home town, the scene with my nana occurred.

I wasn't scared during the dream, although after that scene ended I spent time (while dreaming) trying to figure out if it was a real message or not. This continued when I awoke during the night and has been on my mind today!

General info: I am a mid 20's female. I recently graduated from study and am working part time. I am in the process of coming off SSRI medication for an anxiety disorder, however am feeling quite good at the moment. There isn't any other current events to note, other than a trip on a plane overseas in March.

Perhaps some other people will post here at some point, so please be patient. Some people here do interpret dreams.

"Comming off medication for anxiety" says it all. Death means Transformation. Thus you are leaving your Anxiety conditions behind, those conditions are dyeing. You new self is like your "Nana", a wise Elder, as she was for you.

No longer being scared of flying also indicates the "Death" of any Anxiety dissorders you may have suffered form.

Thus this is a postive dream about your contineing transformation and healing.

Your grandmother represents an emotional aspect of yourself, one that relates to a great, grand, or very long held belief you have. This might be a belief that pertains to your grandmother herself. As grandmother is now dead, this a belief you might honour in your mind but it is one that is of no use to you in the real, physical world. While expressing your affection for your grandmother and for a belief she represents (hugging her) you may need to come to an understanding as to whether this belief has “life” in it or not.(trying to comprehend if she were alive or not) Taking a photo of grandmother would imply trying to retain an unchanging view of your great belief or of grandmother herself. The fuzzy screen on your camera indicates that your picture or idea about your great belief or about grandmother herself, lacks clarity.

This lack of clarity of thought leads you to the conclusion that there is actually no life in the belief you are trying to hold onto as well as confirming that grandmother herself is really dead. As you understand that grandmother has “crossed over” to speak to you, the belief she represents here may actually be the belief in the dead communicating with those still alive. Using the emotional perspective coming of this great belief, there may be something to be said for telling yourself that your life will be a short lived one. (She said something along the lines of "I don't have much time left") Emotionally, when thinking in terms of your great belief – probably the belief that the dead can communicate with you – you are aware that some questions are not meant to be answered, (how long I had left to live … it wasn’t for me to know.) But – when the answer is supplied by the deceased, your life would be very short. (I would be with her soon) [Note that when we live with ideas/beliefs that contain “life”, they sustain our life and are thus very valuable to us. In this scene your information comes from an aspect of your own ego structure that itself has no “life” in it.]

Traveling on a plane represents using a plan or a higher, more intelligent way of thinking. The plane can also refer to using a spiritual plan or way of thinking. In this scene your intelligent or spiritual way of thinking is bringing you back to those grounds of reasoning on which you would feel very at home or comfortable. (on a plane to my home town) Where a situation calls for the use of an intelligent or a spiritual way of thinking, you appear to be using it with complete unawareness . (spent the entire flight asleep) Because you are usually scared of flying, this unawareness could seem to work in your favour. But note that it is after landing in your home town – where you can use grounds of reasoning you are very comfortable with – that the great belief you have makes its appearance. (you dreamed the grandmother part of the dream first)

The way in which your dream has been recorded – showing the scene with grandmother before the plane scene – would suggest that in your mind you are not putting first things first where it relates to a belief you have. Using intelligent spiritual thinking should take precedence over a human belief. (the plane scene should come before the grandmother scene) [Note that Scripture does not recommend communication with “spirits” – and for good reason since they now reflect thoughts and beliefs with no “life” in them.] Another point to note is that since you have a plan to take a trip overseas in March, this dream showing you on a plane going (back)to your home town could be suggesting that your spiritual way of thinking – one involving communication with the dead – is not really getting you anywhere. Both subconsciously (while dreaming) and consciously (when awake) you might need to question whether such messages from the dead have any real validity. (trying to figure out if it was a real message or not)
