DREAM INTERPRETATION ON CLOSING THE CIRCLE ON GUILT

Fantasy by Josephine Wall

I haven't done dream interpretations in along while, and I remembered this dream so vividly as I woke I took it as a sign I needed the dream interpreted. It's bit weird with stalkers, frozen babies and cursed rune engraved wedding rings. I probably could make it into a movie. ;) So wait just a second as I go and brew myself some caffeine free Strawberry & Cherry Infusion Tea.

The Dream =  I returned to a cabin with a friend, carrying grocery bags. There was a girl outside the cabin asking for our help her a man was stalking her. We go inside and lock the doors, next an older man circles the house. I find a baby in the grocery bag we had thought we'd taken a chicken from the frozen sections which turns out melted and was a baby. I give the tiny baby warm bath in the sink. Eventually I come up with a plan and we all go outside, I manage to cut the wedding ring off the stalker, where the ring was is all dead and black. He calms down and I tell them the ring was cursed and that they were divorced. The baby grows up to a boy who runs after his dad as he leaves, gives him keys to the house and wants him to come back after he's done with work, the dad has gotten younger now, and promises to come back.

House/Cabin = They usually symbolize our emotional and psychological selves. All of your experiences, stages of development, and parts of your conscious and unconscious life may be represented by that house. The house may be representing issues concerning a particular dilemma in your life, or it may be more general and comprehensive. ( Do I even have dreams that don't involve houses anymore, they seem to be in every  dream. ;) But emotions and psychology is the deeper work that needs to be done in us all )
Hiding = In daily life we hide from things that we don't want to deal with or we hide from danger. The emotional tone of your dream will reveal its meaning. If you are hiding out of danger, then you should consider those things in your life that propose a threat to you. They could be internal forces or environmental conditions. Generally, we attempt to hide our own negativity and mistakes. This dream may call for an honest reflection on personal characteristics and an evaluation of how much fear influences our lives and decision-making. ( I was hiding from mistake, even though it wasn't straight forward what I was scared of as he was stalking the girl with me )
Older Man = Old people in dreams represent wisdom and maturity. They may appear in our dreams at times of confusion and lack of direction, or when we need consultation and help in decision-making. ( helping in making decisions sounds right to me )
Baby = If these newborns are strangers to you, you can assume that they represent you. You are the baby and the dream is telling you something about your development in a particular area of your life. At times of great change and renewal, a baby may appear in a dream and represent your potential and a new beginning. Some of the meaning of the dream may be obtained by considering what the baby looked like and was doing. Generally, babies represent innocence and are symbols of the purest form of a human whose possibilities are endless. However, if the babies appearance is odd, and if your interactions with it are bizarre or unusual, you need to consider your own well-being (psychologically) and think about what personal experiences and psychological hang-ups have prevented you from growing. ( I didn't actually see the baby in frozen from, I just held her as normal human baby, as I was bathing it it didn like having water in his face and cried a bit )
Outside/Nature = To dream of nature symbolizes independence, serenity, restoration, and rebirth. It stands for practiced and articulated internal instincts. You are very much in touch with your inner self. ( from the house which symbolises emotional self and where I see a threat to me, to outside to nature to independense from emotional self where there is serenity )
Ring = Are you dreaming about ornamental jewelry or merely noise? If you are dreaming the former, the ring may be symbolic of your commitments and promises. The ring can been seen from a larger point of view as a circle, which is a symbol of completion and wholeness. ( symbol for completion and wholeness )
Curse = To dream that you or someone else is under a curse points to a buildup of guilty feelings from an offense or wrongdoing you have committed. ( symbol for completion and wholeness as in ending my feelings of quilt of a wrongdoing I've done )
Boy = To dream that you see or are a boy, when you are female, implies that you are in touch with the male traits of your personality. ( as the baby is me and the baby grows to be a boy this follows the lead well )
Key = To dream of keys may represent a multitude of facets in the dreamer's life, including hidden secrets, recognizing responsibility, the ability to gain access to a situation and hence control, and opportunity. When a key is given to somebody else, control, responsibility, or secrets may be getting passed on to somebody else. ( giving control, responsibility, or secrets )
Man = A man, particularly the father figure, may represent collective consciousness and the traditional human spirit. He is the Yang and his energy, when mobilized, creates the earthly realities. Depending on the details of the dream, the masculine figure could be interpreted as the Creator or Destroyer. At times, women dream about men that are strangers to them. These men may represent the women's unconscious psychic energy. Carl Jung called the stranger in a woman's dream the "animus." He represents autonomous, unconscious energy and he plays a vital role in obtaining a deeper understanding of self. ( well that's just spot on, definately earthly energy, creator helping to understand self  )

The Interpretation

It begins with emotional and psychological self, then reveals that I have been living with the quilt of a mistake I've made. This dream calls for honest reflection on personal characteristics and an evaluation of how much fear influences my life and decision-making. There is an older man who is what I am hiding from aka the mistake that is there to help me to make decisions. How great is that! A mistake teaching me to make decisions! A baby in this dream represents me and about doing development in some area of my life, which would be this quilt of the mistake.
At this point I'm realizing this part of the dream is my past, this is a tale from my mind of how I let go of this issue.
In the dream I leave the house to go to nature - leaving the emotional hiding place from my mistake/wrongdoing and go to a state of independence, serenity and rebirth, getting intouch with my innerself on this matter. That creates completions and wholeness, realeasing the built up guilt represented by a curse.
It seems this cleasing generates in me a better connection to my male traits in my personality (which is very true by the way!) giving the male traits more room in my emotional and psychological self. Just check out the male traits in the interpretation for Man.

I know exactly what this mistake/wrongdoing was, it's true I have felt guilt for it for a really long time, about a year, but now that I think of the situations the guilt is gone, which explains why I saw this dream to begin with!I truly welcome these male qualities to my existence, I need that holding my head high and proud energy, the protective energy, the active energy.

It is probably connected to male energies my letting go of my guilt.

Thank you, I needed to see this dream.

Love, Light and Joy!

"RESCUE FRIENDLINESS" MISSION AND NEW LIFE PATH REVEALED

"At the end dishes telling me that all emotional nurishment can be replaced with spiritual essence to break the cycle of addiction to emotional hang ups, such as emotional pick-me-ups ( aka food, romance, need, company, drugs, alcohol, money, shopping, gossiping and so on... ) and emotional downers ( aka drugs, alcohol, smokes, anrguing, venting, ranting, silent treatment and so on... )."

If you you wish you can skip the Dream part right down to Interpretation where I talk about the spiritual insight this dream gave me. I always enjoy the process of figuring out how things work, but as dreams are personal they are less likely to mean jack-squat to others, LOL, so feel free to skip it. ;)

The Dream = I was saving marine animals with a group of people, dolphins, whales, coral...
There was also a train I sat in with my husband and people were going by celebrating, on their limos and cars...
And then I recall doing dishes in a book store???

Ocean = It traditionally represents our great unconscious, memories, emotions, and individual soul and collective experiences. Look at all of the details in this dream. Is the water clear or murky? Is it calm or turbulent? Are you catching fish, or are you stranded and afraid? Look, listen, and try to comprehend the messages in this dream. No one is in a better position to give meaning to your dreams than you can. ( clear, calm water, but I felt stressed there as animals weren't well )
Dolphins =  Dolphins represent friendliness, communal living, rescue, communication, and affection. They are water dwelling mammals and in our dreams they represent our willingness and ability to navigate through emotions. They represent positive messages from our unconscious minds. Dolphins could also represent a positive connection between our consciousness and to those parts of the psyche that is a mystery and largely unconscious. ( I was trying to rescue friendliness, community, communication and affection. Also they represent willingness and ability to navigate feelings I'm rescueing )
Whales = For most people, dreaming about whales is a pleasant experience. These huge water dwelling mammals may be symbolic of the connection that exists between the unconscious and conscious mind. They may represent the dreamer's level of awareness, perceptiveness, and intuition. Some think that they represent our emotional power or are messengers from the spiritual realms. ( conscious and unconscious connection, a messenger from spiritual realms to inform me of the emotional mission of rescuing friendship and communial living I need to embark on )
Train =  The train could also be symbolic of your need to move on and to do things in an orderly and sequential manner. ( do things in an orderly and sequential manner on my friendship-mission )
Happiness = If you are currently experiencing sadness this dream may be an attempt to compensate and to comfort you. Traditionally this may be called a dream of the contrary. Extreme happiness in a dream calls for an evaluation of daily reality in an attempt to identify those things that are difficult and painful, i.e. things that make you feel the opposite of happy. ( they were super happy in the dream, detect in daily reality things that make people unhappy, what is difficult and painful to them - and how that ties to rescuing frienships and unity )
Bookstore =  In our daily life, books are a source of information and a place to gain knowledge. They can be inspirational, and their messages are sometimes so strong that they change our lives. The books in our dreams can represent our memories, learned understanding, ideas, or viewpoints. They can alert us to the fact that we have something new to learn and that we should spend time on mastering new tasks. ( something new to learn, like how to detect unhappiness and it's causes, and taking time to master a this new skill - sure sounds like something was downloaded while I slept doesn't it ;) )
Dishes = (couldn't find this so I'm winging it) Water is a deeply spiritual symbol representing the "water of life" or the "flow of life." Doing dishes represents using this spiritual essence to clean residue of emotional nurishment off the vessel. ( replacing emotional food with spiritual light, people are hung up on emotional pick me ups and downers which can be replaced by spiritual peace )

Niina's Dream Interpretation

Alright! What a dream! I knew the second I woke up that this was important, and that I should do interpretation of it. I even remembered it very clearly. It seems I got downloaded with an spiritual upgrade to perfect the Feminine Power Package. ( techno-babble, sorry, simply means that I received tools to but my Feminine Power idea into action )
It started with saving rescueing ocean creatures, ocean representing the emotional unconscious world that was calm, but in it I was trying to help save dolphins representing friendliness and communial living / unity and whales that represent connection between unconscious and conscious world, telling me to take this idea into actions. I also recall treating coral that looked like a large brain, it was all guey on the inside and had to be rinced which was dangerous but had to be done.
Next thing I recalled from the dream was the train representing the need to move on and do it in orderly fashion, other peoples happiness in my dream called me to look and identify reasons why people are unhappy, what is painful to them or what causes them unhappiness.
Next I saw books everywhere which represent knowledge and information that I have that I need to use while indentifying unhappinesses root causes on others also books are telling me to master this new task with time, and at the end dishes telling me that all emotional nurishment can be replaced with spiritual essence to break the cycle of addiction to emotional hang-ups, such as emotional pick-me-ups ( aka food, romance, need, company, drugs, alcohol, money, shopping, gossiping and so on... ) and emotional downers ( aka drugs, alcohol, smokes, anrguing, venting, ranting, silent treatment and so on... ).
It'll be my pleasure to dive into this and figure out how this fits to my Life Path and how it can be used to help other. I love dream time! :D

Love, Light and Joy!
