DREAM FORUM - MY GIFTS REVEALED
POSTED February 12, 2012, 16:07 by Iceberg Rose (Viewed 85 times)

THE DREAM : I recently spent a lot of time reading about colour in dreams from various sources. This is especially true since the dream with the purple colour swatches on white walls of my refurbished work place. My workplace is founded on my nursing work although I no longer work as a nurse.

Recently there have been times I have a sense of blessing in some of my chakras as I am waking up – particularly in the heart area. The has led me to explore more about what colours may mean in general and in dreams. I have also been reading about the chakras as they involve colour. I have been wondering how they may apply to me.

I am not familiar with chakras and what they mean so this is new for me. When I woke up I noticed what felt like balls of energy in some of the places in my body where the chakras’ are located. I decided to do some more research in the hope I might get insight into my experience of this energy.

The dream I am reporting here came in stages.

In the first dream I was sleeping on the ground in the Australian dessert and aborigines came to care for me. My breathing was not right and they were charring special barks in a fire and waving the smoke they created past my nostrils to help with my breathing.

The two aboriginal men were discussing my case in a language I could not understand. I was sleeping from their point of view although I could see them from a dream observers point of view.

The bark was changed at one point and I recalled the man saying the name of the bark and mentioning to the other man it had more sulpher than the first bark. In my dream I recalled sulpher being used to help children with croup breath more easily so this treatment made sense to me.

In this dream I could hardly notice I was moving between being in my body and observing my body. I moved between them on an as needed basis. I could also move forward and backward in time and space so I felt liberated.

This dessert area was a retreat and I was lodging there during my stay. At one point the box containing all my jewelry both junk and real was found missing and presumed stolen. I had a sense I should have been alarmed as it contained all my wealth and yet I was not unduly distressed in reality. It didn’t seem all that important to my dream self and my awake self tended to agree with that me.

I did search for my jewelry in the dream as some pieces were precious to me. A gold necklace and earings with a ruby jewel inset was the piece I really wanted back if possible. My parents and favorite sister had given it to me for my 50’th birthday and it is the only jewelry I have a sentimental attachment too.

The dream moved on as I searched and I can only recall bits and pieces of it.

At one point a man emptied a sack on my dining room table. It was full of antique silver which I love. I understood it was my inheritance from my ancestors. I was particularly attracted to the three socket candelabras.

There were more silver items than I could use at one time so I took one candelabra and put it on my dining room table with the white candles that came in the sack as well. I really love English dining room table settings from the Victorian era so I was deeply satisfied with this hoard of treasure in my dream.

In another part of my dream I got word from my mother that she had swapped the bed I had chosen with hers as she had changed her mind decided to go with a metal bed and let the wood one go. The wooden bed she had chosen was much more solid in construction than the functional affordable one I had chosen so I appreciated this change.

This dream closed with me making the bed. As I spread open the sheets I saw a beautiful heavy antique gold necklace that was tiered so that it draped over the neck and looked like a garment covering the neck area. It was studded with large cut emeralds evenly spaced and was so lovely it took my breath away.

This was not the simple gold necklace with the single ruby that was stolen earlier in this dream - it was so much more heavy and rich than that. I knew it was its replacement and I was not disappointed. I was surprised the stones were green emeralds because I love red stones like rubies but that was the necklace my dream showed me when I went on my search for my spiritual gifts.

In the dream I did not get to really study the jewelry so I cannot confirm if the necklace set included the earring’s as well. I suspect it did as I usually buy jewelry that includes both the necklace and matching earrings.

When I woke up I had such peace and sweetness around my heart I just wanted to abide in it. This dream was delightful to my body not just my soul. It felt so special.

THE BACKGROUND:As a Christian I am always open to revelations from God and hope they come. They don’t come on command they come when they come. I get a lot of teaching and revelation through my dreams and this dream falls into that group for me.

For me this dream was an answer to my prayer asking God to show me what my spiritual gifts are. The necklace represents healing gifts to me. I heal this world through my voice and singing even if no one but me knows that is what I am doing – I know it and that’s what is important here.

I was surprised at the richness of this necklace however – I did not expect anything so grand but to see it in the dream was deeply satisfying to my heart and I feel so happy to have had this dream. It means a lot to my heart.

The jewelry I lost in the dream was my earlier life as a nurse. They were my former healing skills. This dream is telling me the ones I have now are more precious so I am excited. I don’t yet know what they will look like when I use them or even how to use them. I just know I have them now and this means the world to me. I feel richly blessed.

-------------------------------------------
DREAM INTERPRETATION PROGRAM: When you post a dream a list of symbols will appear here. They will help you work out what has caused your dream. The following dream symbols all appear in THIS DREAM.

SEARCH: What does searching in dreams mean? Think of more abstract and esoteric usages of the word search and this could help cast light on the meaning of your dream. Searching is often an emotional journey as we decide what we want in life. Searching involves a lot of effort and symbolize moments when we want to do something as well as possible and we are trying to do as best we can. Studies have shown that searching could be linked to a wish to rediscover something - a wish for things to be more like they were in the past. Searching may simply mean that you are trying to escape poor circumstances right now. There are other usages of the word search which dreams have been proven to be linked to. One dream followed on from a situation the dreamer was thinking over - he was thinking over what someone said the day before. He as looking (searching) for some hidden meaning.

SISTERS: What are dream symbols and how d they work? Well think about sisters in real life. Sisters tallk openly and honestly and so a sister could tap into a situation where you have been talking openly and honestly with someone. Or they could represent a wish and need to have such a conversation - a need too let off steam.

Space in dreams

DRAMA: Dreams are metaphors for our emotions. So what could a stage represent if it is a symbol for your feelings. Our dream studies featured a dream with a stage which followed on after a very special day. The dream represented the romantic drama which had just occured in the dreamers own life.

Stages in dreams

STEALING: Dreams represent your feelings so what could stealing in dreams be a symbol for. Real studies of drreams have shown that robbery is a symbol for certain emotions and feelings. They tend to link into resentments and feelings of being undervalued. Why is that so? Perhaps we feel robbed of respect by others? Dreams will tend to link into similar sets of emotions in this way. We are comparing what is happening in real life to metaphors that our minds create.

There are other meanings of stealing in dreams: read about them here - Stealing in dreams

DISTRESS: Dreams are about recent feelings. So if you are upset or distressed in a dream then what could that mean. If you look at your own feelings in depth then you may understand what has triggered your dream. One dreamer in the study had been thinking about someone who had been very upset. So the dream was about trying to understand someone elses strong feelings.

There are other meanings related to upset in dreams - Upset in dreams

Music in dreams

MOTHERS: Understanding dreams is often quite easy. Actually dreams symbols can be directly translated in certain words and their meanings are easily understood by reading an ordinary dictionary. Mothers can represent the words and phrases "Welcoming", "reassuring", "helping", "needing closure", "being sensible", "worries", and "taking time". Try to see how your real life thoughts feature words like this and you will start to gain an insight into what the meaning of the dream is. For instance if you were warmly welcomed thed ay before then your mind has been noting this warm welcome - we constantly think over how people react to us. Such dreams don't have much of a meaning (in fact most dreams do not have meanings that help us) - they just represent day processing in the mind.

Dreams represent our deep thoughts and feelings. They are metaphors. They use symbols to compare real life to various memories from the past. We use our experience to make sense of the present.
