The Dream Thread

[sriyantra]

I had a dream last night where I was in this room that gave the feeling of being in an Atlantean temple. Or perhaps a visual rendition of a room in time/space. There was a book I was flipping through that allowed me access to intelligent infinity. Different parts of the book allowed me to penetrate deeper into my mind, but it was more of a feeling. It was kind of abstract and I woke up right in the middle of it, as if I was just about to access something really deep, but that would've been too intense to actually experience or something. I woke up in a half awake/half dreaming state and was automatically contemplating and understanding different parts of the Law of One that I had been reading on these forums yesterday. Things like light/love, infinity, the difference between light and love. I was just getting deeper insights about the nature of the primordial aspects of creation that I hadn't had before. Was interesting.

Has anyone had dreams of places that resemble possibly something as transcendent as time/space? Or other densities or something of that sort. I'm sure some of you have. 95 pages of this thread are quite a lot to go through; I should dig deeper into it.

In dreams sometimes I realize the infinite nature of reality, and I feel so alone. Today I dreamed I was in a room all by myself, and I felt so lonely.

Hello all! I had a very interesting dream today. There was unusual symbolism. My dog this morning found a newly dead bird and was carrying it around in her mouth looking for a spot to bury it.

I took a nap earlier, and dreamed of being in my backyard with my dogs. The bird was on the ground where my dog had left it in waking hours. But it started to revive. I thought it was glorious and miraculously to see it's battered carcass ressurect. He then flew up onto the tree and started to become whole again. I was also praying in the dream at the time that the Lord make this bird whole again as he was reviving.

The bird my dog found was a pidgeon. But in the dream it didn't look like a pidgin. It was a lot bigger and reminded me of an eagle.

Bird seem to be a common synchronicity and symbol for me. If anyone has any insight that would good to hear! I shall search myself to try and understand as well.

At first I saw a boat inside of a car. There were 2 little boats, one on the drivers side, and the 2nd smaller boat was for a baby on the passenger side.
These boats were like very relaxing to the driver who could lie back in them.
I tried to take a picture with my camera phone 3 times, but it wouldn't turn on.

Then I think I was trying to steal the boat car.

Then later I was going to buy my own boat. One where you stand up to drive it.

Then I saw a lake on my left as we were driving. A pretty big lake. And a lot of obstacles. The water was rough, and dark. It would have been big enough for my new boat.

As we drove I was following a path with my eyes in the water I would have taken a boat. Then I came upon sudden land. I think at some places the water was shallow.

I'm not sure what this dream means.

[Jade]

Sounds symbolic of upgrading your "vehicle", if you ask me. You see someone with a new configuration that is more "comfortable" and "safe". You wanted to take a picture but you couldn't. Then you tried to steal it. Then you decided you would try to acquire your own "new vehicle", and you saw "rough, dark waters" but you knew that your "new vehicle" could handle it.

In the end, you reached land and realized you realized that the "new" vehicle was only good for certain things, and your "old vehicle" can still do what it needs to do.

It may not be symbolic for your "vehicle" (body), it could be something else you covet, but knowing you as we do, Gem... you do literally covet a new body. But I know you've talked about letting that go more recently, and maybe this dream is mirroring that.

I can't say in particular what your dream means, but the bird symbolism reminded me of one of the most memorable quotes/symbolism of Hermann Hesse's book Demian.

The quote being: “The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Who would be born must first destroy a world. The bird flies to God. That God's name is Abraxas.”

Interestingly enough, Abraxas is a god in the Gnostic system, which Carl Jung said in a short book of his on Gnosticism that Abraxas is the supreme power of being transcending both God and the Devil and unites all opposites into one Being. Oddly similar to the Law of One paradigm of opposites/polarities ultimately being united. And that God and the Devil are not two arbitrarily separated halves but actually part of the One.

The understanding of that Demian quote crystallizes in the mind much more when the context of the whole story is involved of course, but it is all still interesting overall for the symbolic implications.

last night i dreamed that aliens could manipulate time & events & they kept repeatedly having to reverse time & alter the course of things surrounding me bc i kept getting myself killed by anti-trump people & they for some reason needed me alive. pretty funny one i thought. in one part i was looking up at the night sky & seeing spaceships & was like 'oh god, here we go again..' bc i assumed they were there bc i was about to get killed again for the gazillionth time.

[flofrog]

Perhaps someone will have had the same, I have had this dream many times. The sky is dark grey green and I am walking along the crest of a hill which is pretty barren, of a very dark yellow faded gold color. The landscape is kind of ominous with along the sky color but it is really beautiful too, sort of wild and ominous, majestic, really strange, and I walk the path on a crest which keeps going up and down and I like walking on it, and then that path gets really high, high and suddenly I look down at my feet and the path, and I see it is plunging down in a really really scary way and I keep going and suddenly i am going down but like my feet are anchored to the ground, walking slowly and I realized i was not afraid at all and then I turn around and think, ' pffew I should so have been scared ' and then it ends. I had it like four or five times. Every time when I wake up I can't believe I was so courageous, lol !!

[flofrog]

Sorry to post again but this is really funny... A few years ago I was in a meditation group and we were talking about dreams and someone said to me, you know, you should keep a paper & pen next to you and note your dream immediately when you wake up, and you might even have answers to questions. So I started to do that, without asking questions and it was fun, then one time in the middle of the night, i have this incredible dream, very zen, where it's all about wisdom enlightenment and I managed to wake up, completely excited because I had dreamt like the key to everything so I wrote words in the dark, without lighting my lamp I was way too afraid to lose time and the message that I had got, and I went right back to sleep. When I woke up in the morning, I was so excited and I grabbed my note and there in clumsy letters was written : Potatoes are yellow.
It s been ten years now about and I still laugh about it.

[Coordinate_Apotheosis]

I think there's some kind of zen connection to that statement, Potatoes are Yellow. You should meditate on it and see how it might metaphorically answer one of your older questions, or perhaps, see if one day it answers a question you didn't yet have. Dreams are the answers to questions we don't know how to ask yet.

Most recently, I had a dream of a japanese man making 'pancake bowls'. He made it in a pot and flipped it right out of the pot at someone next to me who caught it, took a bit then passed it to me.

Was a chocolate chip pancake bowl, was crunchy yet not burnt tasting. Would give a 6.5/10, if topped with ice cream and syrup, 9/10.

A while ago, I had a dream after listening to some korn songs. It began odd...

It was mostly almost psychedelic at first in that I had these guitar rifts and distorted sounds that were making these really great harmonies of sound in this unique beat I had never heard before as far as I was aware. Then there's this imagery, the waves and ripples turn into shape, and a pipe forms out of them, and it's mostly purple and red colors pulsating and rippling about as I'm going down it, then words begin to form but I can't make them out because they're inside the pipe and a part of it yet in front of me inside of the pipe. I don't know what the words were but then behind them was a pinball that began flying down the pipe as the music evolved into a major soundtrack of symphonies. Then, at a turn in the pipe the pinball fails to turn and hits the side and begins falling into another pipe only to stop, then move back the way it came from, then push forward back down the original pipe.

No idea what it could possibly mean lol.


I've lately had a lot of dreams about my old high school, and a lot of dreams where everyone in them seemed confrontational. I've also had dreams reliving moments in my waking life over like I was observing them, such as then I thought about something being reckless, I dreamed of myself thinking of that towards the exact same thing I was in real life.

I feel this makes so much sense that they could be answers to something forward, sort of being time/space, thank you C A.
lol I have a feeling you are making such a thorough cleansing of so much.. I so admire. What is more I am cancer too, crabs are like dreamers and yet move forward deeply after

[Verum Occultum]

I woke up from a dream where I was in a class with other students and a teacher. I had my headphones on (which I have always in waking reality at school). In the dream, in this class the teacher ordered me to take my headphones off. I did not like this idea because I always like to listen to music and no other teacher has ever said this to me, and it does not in any way disturb others, limit my ability to learn or to listen to others. So I said with a very intense power and voice which reverberated throughout the entire class. I said:

These headphones are therapy to me, and they are like a mental asylum for my mind. If this does not violate anyone, as it does not, and if this is accepted by everyone, as it is, then I will continue to use these headphones.

I couldn't believe how intense this expression was. It was so intense that actually the teacher left the class and our class ended before it was supposed to. I didn't mean to scare or startle the teacher, but to just speak my mind. In other words, we gained freedom from irrational prohibitions. #rebel

The thanks is not mine to take but I receive them with love anyways
Not sure I'm being cleansed, as much as just healing.

Dreams are today's answers to tomorrow's questions.

I dreamed of a gallon of clear Purgatorium that the host of Dirty Jobs was trying to sell that would make you think you were in Purgatory. He asked a guy on the phone to give their creepiest scream.

I don't know what it means but it sounds a little funny now. The experience was supposedly temporary with just a sip, but I didn't try it.

[Coordinate_Apotheosis]

I dreamed I was watching porn on a black phone with a pitch white blinding screen in my bedroom.  Only I couldn't see anything but still got satisfaction out of it.  I wasn't even masturbating.

I didn't think quitting porn was such a big deal to my subconscious.

[Coordinate_Apotheosis]

I had a dream I was in my living room, when three people from me past appeared on the couch.  Two were okay, but one of them was a guy named Christian from my elementary school (and after school 'kids club', a really horrible apathetic day care run by the school.) Who used to bully me.

He immediately began insulting and making fun of me.  Every single thing I'd say he'd interrupt.  When I tried to forgive him for the past (we got into a 'playful fight' that ended up with me basically body slamming him, because I thought he could take it.  I was very wrong and have wanted to apologize for a while now), and he'd interrupt me and start saying really messed up things.

So finally I told him to get out of my house, walked over to the door, opened it and told them all to leave.

So he walks up and slaps me in the face, I tell him to gtfo.  So he punches me in the face.

So I lunge forward with claw llike hands griping his clothes and throw him out the door, he makes some snotty remark about me being a pussy, so I walk over to him, grab him, pick him up, and throw him head first into the concrete.  I hear a resounding 'Oh!' From others as if they are surprised, and I'm stepping back realizing now seeing blood on the sidewalk what I've done, and all I can think is, 'I didn't want to do that but you had it coming you ass hole' but all I said was 'That's what it feels like to receive your cruelty.  Consider it and get off my property before I throw you off it.'

Then I woke up, fell back asleep and dreamed of a beautiful girl who was my fiance.

Weird night.  

[Cainite]

I always dream I'm completely naked in public and as a result I feel very ashamed.

alex jones was in my dream last night. (lol.)
i was at my high school cafeteria & had gotten a plate of food & when i got to the end of the food line i couldn't reach the milks bc they were running low on them. then alex jones walks up close to me & he's on the other side where the workers are & i asked him if he'd get me a chocolate milk since was possible to reach them from that side. he doesn't say anything & reaches in & then hands me a chocolate milk...but it wasn't the kind i was familiar with. it wasn't in a paper carton. it was in a small plastic bottle & was a brand i had never heard of. i said to him, "no, not that kind" & handed it back, bc i knew the other kind was also in there. he took it out of my hand & looked at the nutrition label & then he handed it right back to me, w/o a word. then i just sighed & took it & walked off. then i was sitting at a table with friends & drinking it & thinking that kind didn't taste as good as the other kind then i thought to look at the nutrition facts then saw it was packed full of nutrients & even had things in it i had never heard of.

SYNC. had no idea he'd be doing an AMA tmr. this was just stickied at the top of The_Donald subreddit:

alex jones was in my dream again last night. i was sitting down outside on a porch & he was standing in front of me not that close & others were there & i made some joke about him, can't remember what i said, but it made him really mad. he looked so angry & walked towards me very fast & i thought he was about to beat me up & i screamed, "IT WAS A JOKE!" then he calmed down.

[Coordinate_Apotheosis]

You and Alex Jones, your subconscious must seriously be trying to tell you something using him as a metaphor xD

Last night I dreamed I was being berated for not having a job still.  In fact, a had a series of dreams I do not remember, but have the sensation of being confronted and uncomfortable in all of them.  What is my mind doing with me while I'm asleep???

[Kaaron]

Last night, my partner randomly picked up an old newspaper on the desk and opened it. Sitting there was the biggest white tail spider we've ever seen. She says there was no logical explanation for why she picked it up but obviously it was a sign.
I was woken twice in the night and both times I was given a similar memory from the dream as a message.
The first time, I was in a room with the curtains drawn and I felt like there was an energy outside that was trying to look inside to see if there was anyone in there. I knew they suspected someone was in the room but they couldn't see me and wanted to get in to effect me negatively in some way. I felt like I didn't want them to see me or interact with me...I was trying to let the curtain do it's job but then I realized there was a crack I didn't know about and became visible to them and them to me. They looked like my ex-wife but different. Then they found a way to open a crack in the window n attack the curtain.
Then I woke up.

In the next dream, I was in a smaller cubical type of room with the same energy on the other side of the wall...I don't think there were any doors and I can't remember how I got there. Somehow it smashed the wall to pieces and was in the room with me but not to attack me. It was like it got through n wasn't hostile like before but kind of surprised at what it found.
Again, I woke.

This all seems to point to hidden aspects of self I'm still not seeing properly. I feel like my partner being influenced to find the spider meant that she's being guided to act in certain ways to get me to see the hidden aspects that are allowing certain behaviors and ways of being. That it was my ex-wife tells me that I need to work harder to forgive her and love her for allowing me to go through what we did to get to where we are.
I've been really focusing on balancing every negative emotion or thought I have and I think this is showing me that I'm being shown my weaknesses so that I can exist in the same space as them. It feels like the re-integration process is nearly complete.

I'd be keen to get others' input too so I can expand my understanding...

My friends have come to know me for my ruthlessness against zombies.

In my dream, I was coming back with some friends from a close encounter with our death by zombies.  We were coming back to a citywide community where everyone knows everyone because we all have to work the walls.  Whenever a group almost dies they have a small party celebration of surviving when they return.

I'm apparently notoriously known for not getting along romantically with anyone and this has spread to most people.  So we get back and go to the party being held for us.  I have two other guys and girls in my group.  One of the friend's of a friend of one of the girls in my group walks up to me in front of the food table while I'm eating.  I look up to this girl in cream or pastel colored dress, just a bit shorter than me, with super curly wavy black-brown hair and dark soft eyes who's holding a plate of food with a big smile looking me over.  I'm still covered in blood (cause I was the who killed most of the dead things trying to kill us).  I look up at her finally with an innocent stare, weary from digesting and sore from fighting, and she reaches with her right hand, and with the back of her fingers rubs them from my left shoulder down to my bicep and says, "You're very attractive." I'm put back by this, viewing it as an aggressive approach and shyly respond, "Oh, thank you." To which her smile widens and she looks to the girl who her friend is friend's with and says, "And he has manners too!"
Then I woke up, feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.

Then reality settled in and I realized it was all a dream, so I got sad and couldn't fall back asleep...So here I am lol.

Oh, I think Kinda, I Want To by Nine Inch Nails was playing in the background too,

The spider that she finds sounds like a play on the beauty of a spider being found for her because of you.  Spiders are interesting symbols, they scare people but denote divine beauty and structure in that they weave such perfect spiral webs or denote fear of those same things.  At least when its a single spider and not a whole dream of them being EVERYWHERE.
ahem.
I do think this can apply if you felt it influenced your dream.
It sounds like the monsters of your past are coming into your 'conscious space'. You seem to have the right idea of what to do based on the above that I quoted

For all you know, the monster beyond that got in thought YOU were the monster and upon finding you weren't, like you, was put back with surprise as if to say, "Well then what now?"

The spider was a real thing before I went to sleep. We have a four year old so I took it as a hidden danger. White tails are really aggressive.
I agree with you about the rest of your comment and thanks for the input

Dream: I was working at some sort of Design Firm (engineering? furniture design? architecture?) and I submitted a Plan.  Someone else also submitted a Plan, and the Person who had the final Call, brought up both our Work, and was flipping between them on a screen.  The other person was critiquing my Work, and I was getting upset that my Plan was going to get dismissed.  

/ /

I woke up feeling not the best (emotionally), and that a yellow-ray Understanding was being offered.

I 'decoded' things into my own frame of reference and Vocabulary, and saw it as an issue with 'source code'.  That with a free and open (positive) yellow ray, people could share and take whatever 'Plans' they offered in a social setting (open source), and there would be no attachment to the results of one's creative gifts.

I was still 'attached' to my source-code in other words.

Great dream.

[Coordinate_Apotheosis]

The last bits I remembered of my dream.

On a hill top in the distance a truck chased a van to a castle where a helicopter dropped a massive circular wall around the castle just in time to blockade the truck but not the van.  As a result the people in the truck infiltrated the wall and got into the castle on foot.

Inside was a ton of people in what looked to be Daft Punk black leather outfits.  I became one of the two guys and watched as my ally with knife and pistol began assaulting a guard who walked around the corner, he shot the pistol holding it turned gangster style.  As I ran by I looked back to see my ally seeming to recruit the guy instead of killing him, and tossing him an smg, he points it up slowly like he's testing the sights then slowly turns to my ally and kills him.  I pull out my own rifle with suppressor and kill him, Then go on a sprinting run and gun spree across the bottom perimeter of the castle.  I killed almost a dozen black leather motorcycle helmet people with sprays of quiet bullets then I came across in an office desk setting two older women, my attempts to shoot them were met with my gun spraying water at them.
Then a guard showed up with 'the girl', and with the two older women facing him I shot him, grabbed the girl and retreated to the truck and returned home.

Once there in my backyard next to the pool on the southern wall I was watching the girl contemplate when  black leather woman jumped down from the roof and landed on her, I jumped and grabbed her and began a hand to hand struggle that resulted in me strangling the woman face down in the dirt long enough so she passed out.  I remember vividly she gasped saying 'can't breath' before coughing up a lot of spit before passing out, I let go immediately, grabbed the girl, grabbed some water and food while the girl screamed and cried at me asking why I killed that woman, I said I only made her unconscious for a few minutes.  She stabbed me in the back, I plunged into the pool turning everything red and looked up as she ran away.  Then I woke up.

There was a lot more in the beginning of the dream but I don't remember it much but it reminded me of Just Cause.

I wonder what it all means.

Last night in a dream I was telling off a client over the phone that is a SUPER slow payer. He's a friend so I've been letting him have extra leeway. It has been a few weeks he hasn't payed any of his debt.

In the dream I was very clear about needing to be paid more promptly and I got this odd silent static noise from his end of the phone. No response but it's the same noise I've felt/heard when communicating with an animal inadvertently.

Woke up and within 30 minutes had an e-transfer from him. I think it was more than a dream.

[Cainite]

Last night me and my friend had a conversation about success and I told him about spirituality and contentment and inner peace being the real success. now he tells me after our conversation he slept and in his dream he was in agony then I came and gave him a razor and he started shaving his beard. after that everything became better!

yesterday someone was fishing in a part of a video i was watching & it made me feel disgusted. saw them put the hook thru the stomach of live bait, a cute little tiny fish, & i was reminded of the times i've fished using live shrimp & it made me feel really bad. i was feeling a complete loathing of the act of fishing & thought i'll for sure never do it again.

then last night i dream i'm fishing. i wasn't using a fishing pole though i was just holding the line with my hands. & then i caught a huge fish & it was so much fun pulling it in & i planned on eating it.
