Thank you all!

I appreciate the following I have acquired and apologize that I have not been more active on this blog. I am going to make an effort to post more.

I also apologize to those of you who have emailed me with your dreams. Yahoo mail had an issue with the email address associated with this account and I was not getting alerted on my phone that I had been receiving emails. I think the issue has been resolved now. I have answered all emails that have come to me in the past few months, so please check your accounts (as well as spam folders) for my replies.

Thanks for your understanding.

Dreams for problem solving.


Not only can you ask your dream guide for help with a certain problem. You can also solve problems with other people through dreams.

Case in point: About 2 weekends ago, the 13 year old boy across the street was playing basket ball in the street with his friend at 6:30 in the morning. I opened the door and said "REALLY? 6:30 on a Sunday morning an you are playing basketball?"
I said nothing more and shut the door. A week later on a weekday, he was out again, this time at 6AM. I said nothing, but turned on the outside light so that he knew that he woke me up. It didn't phase him.


I had made the decision to go outside and talk to him calmly about it, but by the time I got out of the shower he had gone inside. I had rehearsed what I would say.

The next night I had a dream that I went outside while he was playing and talked to him. I told him exactly what I had rehearsed. He was very nice and understanding and said he would not play that early anymore.


He hasn't played that early since I had the dream.



You can use your dreams to voice your opinion to the other person without having a confrontation. If you just need to speak your mind to feel better, dreams are a great place to do it.

Bogus! Revealed

In yesterday's post I posted a dream about my SIL. We are close, but she hadn't returned my calls for a week. I thought she was mad at me. She called me and explained that she had taken herself off of caffeine, nicotine and pain pills all at the same time, so she was going through the withdrawal process.

My dream revealed to me that my feeling that she was mad at me was unfounded and indeed Bogus!. This dream had nothing to do with me at all, ie, she didn't talk to me in the dream, just like she didn't talk to me in real life. It was her, her car and the word Bogus on her car in the dream that made me see it was all about her. Of course, I didn't realize what it meant until she pointed out those facts to me.

Bogus!


Last week I had the following dream. This was after about a week of not being able to talk to my SIL, with whom I am very close. I had a feeling she might be going through something, but somewhere in the back of my mind, I thought perhaps I might have done something wrong (although I didn't know what) and she wasn't returning my calls because she was mad at me.



I was at the mall with some of my friends. We were at a table in the food court? perhaps. S, my SIL drove up (somehow she was able to park inside the mall) in her car that she drives today. It is a yellow Firebird. On the windshield it had the word "bogus" across the top.

S comes over to us and starts talking to all of my friends, but doesn't acknowledge my presence. I was convinced that she was mad at me.
EOD (End of Dream)


I woke up thinking that she was taking care of everyone else and ignoring me.

The dream nagged at me and for each day that S didn't return my calls, I was absolutely convinced that I was at fault for something.

FINALLY after about a week S calls me. She tells me that she just spent the last week de-toxing. She quit the pot of coffee a day habit, the 2 pack of cigarettes a day habit and she took herself off of the pain pills that weren't doing her body any good and weren't helping her pain anyway. She hadn't been sleeping well due to the coffee, so she'd take the pain pills to help with her pain and to help her sleep, she was taking 5 a day. Smoking of course is a hard habit to break.. so she figured she do it all at once.

After talking to he a while, I told her about my dream, which stumped me. (Its hard to look inside to figure out my own dreams, easier to take a look from the outside to figure out others' dreams) I also told her my theory of her being mad at me.

She figured out my dream right away.. how about you?


Lets see how much you have learned. Please comment on what you all thin and I will reveal the interpretation tomorrow

Ask your Dream Guide


Often, you will have dreams that you don't understand. Sometimes they are recurring. When this happens, you can ask your dream guide for help. A dream guide can be any one or any animal in your dream. If you find your dreams often have the same person or animal, this may very well be your dream guide. You can ask them for advice, to heal you or to show you the right way during your dream. Thsi is called dream incubation.. I touched on that in this post

You may also ask your dream guide, before you go to sleep for help with whatever has been hindering you. Just repeat the question or request over and over before you fall into a deep slumber. You can also write it on a piece of paper and put it under your pillow.


Phrase your question so that it is short, simple and to the point:

Should I...?
How can I heal Myself?
How can I solve...?
What is the status of my relationship with...?
How can I improve that relationship?
How can I make (current venture or project) a success?
How can I manifest abundance and prosperity?


or until you learn how your dreams will respond, you can ask more open ended questions like:
What should I do now?
Show me my path
Why... do I.. am I..
What is the divine purpose for me?



When you wake write down whatever thoughts, feeling, images, dreams, or dream fragments that come into your mind into your dream journal. Also, write the question or request at the top of your journal page.

Then you can begin to figure out what your dreams have to tell you.

Remember.. I set this blog up so you can send me your dreams so I can give you my take on them .. see right for email address

Understanding your dreams.


In order to better understand your dreams, you should start keeping a daily journal as well as a dream journal. After each day, and after writing in both of your journals, you can compare the two. But, if there is seemingly no connection between your dream and that days events, keep an open mind, look back through your past entries, you may just find the answer to something else you had journaled in the past.

You might be able to figure out the dream symbols and what they mean in relation to your waking life, just by determining what that symbol actually means in reality.

For instance, a caterpillar. What does a caterpillar do in real life, besides eat everything in sight? It changes into a beautiful butterfly. So you might be able to determine, based on the content of your dream as well as the things going on in your life and in your head, that you are in for some transformations in your life. Could YOU be the caterpillar, certainly. It might also represent a certain situation in your life that may be heading for a change.

This post was prompted from a dream my daughter, from The Water Bottle had after fretting about getting into to college.

Improving Dream Recall


(pic is from http://www.brilliantdreams.com/product/dream-entertainment.htm)


These tips are taken from Dreamwork for the Soul by Rosemary Ellen Guiley

1. Take dreams seriously and respect them
The number one rule for working with dreams applies to improving dream recall. If you think dreams are unimportant, they will be less likely to impress themselves on your memory. The more attention you pay to dreams, the more you will notice them.

2. Meditate or pray daily.
Meditation stills the mind, improves focus, and alleviates stress. What's more- and what's most important for dreams- is that meditation alters our state of consciousness, making it easier to access the intuition, the higher self, other dimensional realities, and the voice of God, all of which speak through dreams. A few minutes of meditation a day will reap big benefits. Start the day and end the evening with quiet time Prayer is really effective. It's more controversial, but even the chattiest of inner prayer eventually settles into profound zones of peace and quiet. Once you get into the habit of going within, you will notice a change in your dream life: You will remember dreams more easily and the nature of your dreams will change to include themes and imagery of a more spiritual nature. Pray specifically about dreams.

3. Think about people, animals and objects familiar to you in waking life.
These thoughts trigger associations, which van help reclaim dream memories.
