Dream Interpretation

 

"I've dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they've gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the colour of my mind." 

- Emily Bronte

                                       

 

The following dream and interpretation is one of my own, which took place during an intense period of development, and at a time when I needed reassurance.

Dream:  I am in various situations where I 'find' I can do things, such as putting something up on a wall, a curtain or wall covering, and can instantly 'attract' to myself the tools I need by focusing on them and calling out to them. They then leave where they are and move through the air to me. I see scissors come that way, and anything else that I need. Then at meal times, a group I am with levitate the table.

Interpretation This is about my 'ability' to attract things to me, and a feature of the dream is that the items are 'called' only at the time of needing them, and they then come at that time. This is telling me that I can attract to myself what I need in life, at the time of need, and what I need will come to me. I don't have to worry or fear. Yet it has been hard to fully trust that.

This next dream and interpretation, reflects the dreamer's need to let go of the past, in preparation for forward movement in life.

Dream:   I was living in an old, white house outside the town where I went to college. The town itself was transformed, but I knew it was this town. I had been in this house for 14 years (this is the number of years since I left that town), and I was still attending college after all that time. My fiancé from college (who left me), in this version had died 14 years ago, tragically from some disease (after she left me), and instead of reporting her death I built her a coffin and buried her in the back. Just recently I had made enough money to put in a granite marker.

But now, the town was encroaching on the property, and the landlord was dividing up the property and selling it off, and I couldn't afford to buy the piece where she was buried. I wanted to tell the authorities where she was buried, so that she could be moved, and her family would know what happened to her, but I was afraid of the trouble I would be in.

Interpretation:   I 'feel' that the reference to your fiancé and her 'death' is about the fact that following your split with her, you have not let go, the death of the relationship and what that meant to you, is still with you. The Town, bigger part of you, is pushing you to let go of this now. The feelings that this dream brought to the surface are part of what needs to be released, so that you can move forward - perhaps to a relationship. That you don't want to 'cause trouble' feels to me to be about the process that involves letting go, stirring up the memories and feelings.
