Dreams

I am a dreamer. I love to dream. I often wake up disappointed that I'm back in my real life. I've always dreamed. I still remember dreams that I had when I was a little kid. Sometimes I dream lucidly, which means I can control the dream. I just decide in my head that I'm gonna do whatever I want in this dream and then I do it. It's so weird and fun. Sometimes my dreams are just dreams and they don't mean that much, but sometimes they are symbolic and I know that I'm getting a message.

The other day I dreamed that I was in a cave (kind of like Lord of the Rings). My brother was there and someone else was there. There were two of me. One was a fake me. It was a holographic, perfect looking me standing next to my brother. The other me, which was the real me, were just broken bones in the bottom of a pond. My brother knew that the holograph was not the real me so he scooped up my bones out the bottom of the pond and the real me was there and in tact.

I got this from hyperdictionary.com:

Dreaming of bones, suggests the discovery of your personal, family, or cultural secrets. It is also symbolic of your underlying strengths that you have not yet recognized. Dreaming of broken bones means that you have discovered or realized that there is a weakness in your plans or in your thinking. Your dream may call for you immediate attention to a particular situation or relationship.

This is interesting because before I had the dream I was discovering more of the painful sides of my family life. I also noticed that I don't easily open up about painful memories. I'm prone to keep them inside, bottle them up and not face the pain. This is a weakness because eventually I explode. It was so cool when I read what that symbolized b/c it was true.

Seeing a pond in your dream, represents tranquility and desire for more quiet time to yourself. It is a time to reflect on your situation and what is going on in your life.
Again, also true.
Dreaming that you are walking in a dark cave means refuge or the unconscious mind.
Seeing a hologram in your dream, suggests that you need to look at the whole picture instead of just pieces of it in order to get the whole story. Alternatively, the dream symbolizes your ideal self and your notions of perfection.
There was also a part in the dream after the cave (u know how in dreams they just change so quickly and u realize ur somewhere else and don't even know how u got there). In this part of the dream I had on a queen's crown. So I looked up queen.

Seeing a queen in your dream, symbolizes intuition and personal growth.
I definitely believe that this was a message from God. Some Christian psychologists believe that dreams are the language of the soul. What do you think? Do you think God can speak to us through dreams?

  4. Thanks Ashley! In my counseling classes I've been learning a lot about how dreams are symbols from our soul. You can learn a lot about yourself from your dreams.
