Dream Interpretation Requests

[Midwinter Mist]

Can dolphins have any particular meaning in dreams? I don't think I've ever had them in my dream, but I had one in my dream this morning.

Later in another dream, I went into my garden and there was a very small kitten (which was black, white and grey). I picked it up and it was trying to bite at my hands. I then turned as another cat, identical except very large like a tiger, entered the garden. I felt as though I was holding its child and so carefully placed the kitten back down, fearing the possible dangers if I didn't.

The cat was still hanging around for a while, but eventually made this cat call (I then heard another in the distance), and then it left.

Hello, Midnite! Thank you very much for your interpretation. Almost everything you mentioned made sense for me, I will describe just some of it. Indeed, in my family, I have always been perceived as someone who is very talented. This led to high expectations which continue till today. My cousin too was somewhat jealous of my life. And, yes, there is a certain feeling of being trapped that I am experiencing right now. I guess, I just did not expect all this to come that clear in a dream.

I had a reading recently with someone who told me that my biggest duty right now is to let go of judgement and to not compromise. It is very similar to what you saw in my dream.

I hope you are right about this new era coming

However the people being married are often quite frightened and anxious considering that this is a deal for 'life' (or at least a very long time).
This may represent an ordeal that has been forced on you, or out of your control.


Having dreams about weddings that go wrong is often a spotlight on your current negativity towards some aspects in life. Considering that so much was felt during your ordeal, there is quite a bit to try and glue together here.


Does your cousin actually feel this way in real life? I may not think so.
This could be a very good indicator about the way you feel you stand within the invisible hierarchy of your family. Unfortunately it's a natural tendency for humans to always size up not only their friends within social circles, but also family members as well. People want to intrinsically know where they stand, and often dictates the way they act around certain family members as well. (For example; John walks up to little Alex, knowing he is the little more nerdier type, and starts giving him tips on how to hit the gym more often and attract women).

You may possibly feel that your cousin (or other family members thereof) do not necessarily have some of the natural 'advantages' in life, that you could have just been born with. This could be anything from intellectual knowledge, success in certain areas of life, or even just sheer looks.


This may represent a fear that you do not like to adhere to the social norm.


This may suggest you place quite a value on your ability to criticize other people's weaknesses. This could also indicate that you strive for perfection, even in your potential partners.


This highly suggests that you do not trust your parents' judgement. More importantly you feel that your parents did not ever really get the know the "real" you. Don't get me wrong, you may very well have a strong connection with your family, but in the deep recesses of your mind, your subconscious has recognised the discrepancy between your parents' take on who you are, and who you actually are. Therefore their judgement on something like a life-long partner seems completely out of wack.


You were correct in thinking this wasn't the "real" you. This was in fact a negative version of yourself where everything seemed to be going wrong, including your looks.


You were somehow trying to justify your unthinkable marriage by the possibility of wealth.

This new era that I was talking about seems to be quite important in your life due to how heavy the dream has impacted your thoughts. The good thing is that you're not going to be forced into marrying some guy with a large nose (though... this particular feature isn't exactly seen as the worst feature by some particularly frisky women... LOL )

I do believe a marriage needs to occur, however not exactly the type of marriage you had to experience in your dream. The marriage I speak of relates to the union of your two halves; one half representing your negativity and the other half representing your positivity. You need to learn how to embrace both of these polar opposites in order to lead a more fulfilling life where you are no longer being weighed down by internal conflicts.

I believe you think that negativity is out of your control, or something forced upon you by others. This is an illusion of life. You have always had the power over choices in your life. Sometimes the most convenient way, may not necessarily be the most positive.

You seem to be quite critical of other people. When I sense this, I know that you are quite critical of yourself too. Striving for perfection is absolutely acceptable. People only get into hot water when they let it rule their lives and the decisions they make. There was no indicator whatsoever that you made any personal contact with your groom, before passing judgment that he was not suited to you. It was based on physical appearance alone. You may very well have such a strong analytical ability, that no communication was needed in order for you to judge him. I just ask that you please be careful. There exist some pretty defensive people out there who don't walk around displaying their real stuff until a deeper communication is felt.

Don't ever feel its necessary to anything serious you don't like doing, unless you feel it's the right thing to do within. You are not being forced to do anything, and your parents don't make your life decisions for you. You may have been dropped into a situation that some of your natural talents can not solve, but the belief that wealth will solve any problems at hand is not exactly the right trail of thought. I can tell you right now that happiness comes from feeling love.

You may have once listened to your parents decisions like the Gospel, but you are now noticing subtle differences in your thought patterns. It is very natural for this to happen, as it just means you are growing into a person who truly values their own ability to decide exactly what they like. It's a maturation process that few people ever feel strong enough to experience.

This new era must be one of positivity, meaning you have to resolve your internal conflicts before you can move on in your life. The onus of deciding to follow a conflict-free or conflict-ridden life is in your hands. Unlike your dream, this union of the soul or new era of positivity is completely and has always been in your control.

I had a pretty trippy dream last night and thought I'd post it for interpretation...

Last night I dreamed that I was in a school starting out a teacher. And, even though I'm not currently in a relationship, I was very aware that I was in a relationship with one of the teachers in the school. She was kinda my "guide" of sorts. I got this real sense that she was the one who showed me the ropes, and helped me through my struggles.

Oddly enough, I lost my shoes (<---this was the central part of my dream, actually). I had to take them off for some reason, and then there was this huge room full of shoes. And I kept looking and looking for my shoes, but couldn't find them. I can still see myself scrambling for them, looking through this massive pile of shoes. Finally, I said "**** it." and just decided to go barefoot (well, I had my socks on, but you get the gist). I go out and that woman (the one I was in relationship with) is there (I didn't know who she was, but she felt really familiar to me for some reason). She smiled and handed me a paper to sign and led me to the lunchroom. As I was standing there with my tray, the cook was razzing me (actually more like "hazing"...you know, the initiation thing for people who are first starting out). He told me I was late for lunch and that I couldn't have what was left. He wasn't saying it in a mean way, I could see a smile on his face. But in the middle of it, he put his face down in the food and began eating it (like a dog) and I was aware that I wasn't going to get lunch that day. The woman was there in the lunchroom with me, but she didn't say anything. I could hear the "oooooh!" tauntes from the others who were standing around.

And then I woke up. It was kind of a trippy dream, and I remember I was feeling pretty anxious about the whole thing (in the dream that is), especially the losing of the shoes.

So, whadda ya think?

Let the healing begin

I've had lots of weirdass dreams lately. Stress and big changes will do that I guess.

Twice I have had vivid dreams with a snake in it. Not a poisonous one, just some generic snake. In the first one, I had caught it and was looking around trying to find a place outside to put it. When I set it down finally, it slithered across a ditch, then morphed into this really weird monster thing. But I wasn't afraid.

The second one was a couple nights ago. Again I had a non-venomous snake and was trying to figure out what to do with it. This time, I kind of remember that the snake was injured from me catching it.

In both cases I felt uncomfortable, like I would in real life, handling a snake. Not a big snake fan.

I suppose considering I'm going through a break up, it's easy to correlate the snake to my wife, at least as far as the situation. But I don't see her in any way as a snake in real life? So anyone got any ideas about this?

I have been getting animals in my dreams. Sometimes it's a dog, and that's easy, because I've been thinking for awhile that I will have another one eventually. Sometimes the symbols are pretty direct. Snakes must be less direct, because I don't have one and don't want one.

Hi,

Animals can be quite symbolic in dreams.

Generally dolphins are very positive animals, who possess some of the most harmonious and deep rooted knowledge on the planet (right next to whales). They bring people happiness when they see them, and they have also been rumored to save people when lost at sea. So yes, it's quite a positive sign.

there was a very small kitten (which was black, white and grey). I picked it up

Just don't let your innocent curiosity lead to far more dangerous scenarios or problems in your life. What you may initially perceive as just a passing fancy or sheer wonder, may have some attached dangers you were not initially aware of. The fact that the colors were "black/white/grey" could be directly applied to how some decisions or actions thereof fall into the black areas of life, the white areas of life, or somewhere in between. It's just suggesting it's not specifically limited to any type of area in your life.

The fact that you recognized the danger and immediately resolved it by putting the cat down, is a good sign that you know when to quit.

OK firstly,

You have the sweetest avatar image ever.

Secondly, the reason for why animals are just so symbolic is that people are able to directly attribute the animal's physical attributes and personalities to real life situations.

Not a poisonous one, just some generic snake. In the first one, I had caught it and was looking around trying to find a place outside to put it.

Snakes can be something represented as quite dangerous due to their stealthy techniques and ability to severely hurt at will. In your dream I feel it represents a danger that managed to find its way into your home. This "danger" can represent a whole lot of different things; from an actual physical danger, all the way to something or somebody trying to inflict emotional harm against you. At first, you didn't percieve this danger to be very severe. Lol what the hell is a generic snake?
The good part is, that you firstly found the danger in the first place. Suggesting your ability to notice when something is wrong. You then proceeded to relocate that danger outside of your home, meaning not only had you identified the danger, but you then proceeded to get it away from you.

then morphed into this really weird monster thing

This is highly suggestive that the danger you firstly perceived as something small was actually hiding its true colors, and was in fact concealing something much more threatening and somewhat 'alien' to you.

Again I had a non-venomous snake and was trying to figure out what to do with it. This time, I kind of remember that the snake was injured from me catching it.

The fact that it happened again; found its way back into your home, means that you didn't learn your lesson the first time. Simply relocating the danger wasn't enough. You needed to perform some kind of preventative measures.
The fact that the snake was injured suggests that this 'danger' was in some way hurt by the act of your catching it out. It could also represent that the second time you found it, you decided to act a lot more harshly against it.

You believe this dream correlates with your break-up and is quite important we therefore focus on exactly that. Don't just look at your dream on an external level and decide "well my wife doesn't really remind me of a snake..". Dreams operate on so many levels it's not funny. Your subconscious mind may be directly interpreting your break-up with use of animals in order to more plainly send you a message.

From what I can read, it seems you may have possibly had a break-up with her in the past. You allowed her into your home. Some time later she may of started doing something to piss you off or otherwise instigate a break-up response. You however thought these were just average emotional dramas found in most other relationships. Just Generic upsets...
When you did send her walking the first time, you then realised those upsets weren't so generic and closer to fully-fledged monsters.

I guess you guys made up, and eventually decided to feel a differing of opinions again. This time the break-up was very harsh, and has left her emotionally and mentally "injured".

Unfortunately for you I am not a relationship advisor. I may only interpret your dreams. I don't like to go to far into relationships as they can be very volatile, or if you like; go either way.

Just don't be distressed with what you are seeing. Emotional dramas affect us on every level imaginable...

But I wasn't afraid.

Feel the force Yoda

Thanks for your interpretation, Midnite.

Hi Midnite,

do you want to look at this dream? I appreciate the input you already did for others in this thread.
I just ask because this dream seem to have importance to me, I can't really let go of it and maybe it makes from a distance more sense.

I dreamed walking at a northern European undulating coastline, reminded me of England/Scotland. i walked a path downhill.

Then on my left i saw Stonehenge, suddenly everything turned black and white, but not only black and white it was more exceptional, every thing turned up in contrast and was so bright. It was not in the normal vision range it was very energetic. The nature was more beautiful and surreal. I had such a great feeling, so peaceful and joyful, never had such a clear and beautiful feeling in waking life, I don't know how I alone could have generated to feel this way, ultimate bliss.

Strangely I had the same dream twice in a row.
Being able to feel such a bliss meant much to me, it showed me to trust.
My soul has made many careers in different mystery schools like Druids (Celtic), House of Odin (Norse Mythology), Goddess, and Gypsies which have still an ongoing positive influence.

I don't intend to influence your interpretation by this, just in case you see there is a connection, because that was not just a regular dream.

Why thank you!

And thanks for responding. In the dreams, I felt uncomfortable handling the snakes, but knew they weren't venomous, so I wasn't afraid of them, or thought they were dangerous. Don't know much about snake species, they kind of appear grey, and have the small head that many non venomous snakes have.

Your relationship interpretation is pretty interesting. What you didn't know is that I was married before, and that person did exactly this:

This is highly suggestive that the danger you firstly perceived as something small was actually hiding its true colors, and was in fact concealing something much more threatening and somewhat 'alien' to you.

Then the second part correlates well to my current situation. And yes, I do feel that the events of the last four years left my wife emotionally injured. Unfortunately, she won't let me help with that.

So that was pretty darned good for not knowing my history!

The madness continued last night. I was some kind of soldier in ancient times. I was way out from my city and there was some kind of battle going on. As we started across a field toward the city, our home, whoever the bad guys were started hurling these spear/javelin things at us. And one hit me! I was trying to dodge all of them, then one stuck in my left arm, went through and then through the skin on my left side, effectively pinning my arm to my side! (I am left handed ). I then had to keep fighting and dodging until things subsided. Then I finally stopped and pulled the spear out. It was a thin wooden thing, and the blade was flat and thin, like a bamboo blade would be. It bled and hurt, and it was in pieces, so another soldier had to pull out the other pieces.

I thought I was in pretty bad shape. We went into the town and I went to our doctor. Some old guy in a very primitive looking place. When I got there, I saw people laying out, bandaged up, missing limbs, and I realized that there were people worse off than me, so the doc didn't treat me.

Then while still bleeding, I had to go on some sort of mission, not sure exactly what for, I just remember going through some old ruined stone buildings, fighting some, and having to not use my arm because of the injury. And I knew that I was in this tough army and no one would pity me or cut me any slack. I knew that was hard, but I was OK with it.

Weird, I usually never get a big injury like that in my dreams. That kind of messed me up for awhile. At the end of the dream I finally looked at my wounds and they were already healing, but still. Even when I've been under this kind of stress before, never a big injury in a dream.

I kinda get the symbolism. I was wounded and disabled (my dominant hand out of action) but still had to keep doing my job. Pretty much reprentative of my life over the last year. (Not literally having an injury to my arm) At least I saw the healing at the end, but still, the getting hit with that spear was really traumatic and not my usual thing.

I had some other stuff to, but this post is already long...

Hi Summerbreeze,

You have a very interesting dream on your hands here.
In fact it's quite extraordinary.

What you were dreaming about is your path to enlightenment.

I dreamed walking at a northern European undulating coastline, reminded me of England/Scotland.

I initially made the direct connection with the fact that Stonehenge is in fact located in England. However, the more I delve into it, I realised you were unaware of this fact while walking there. It suggests that your dream needed to set a harmonious stage by allowing you to feel some of the peace in this world. The ocean is known to be quite purifying, which suggests that this path your walking along needs to be exactly that.

i walked a path downhill.

The sheer fact that you didn't walk a path 'uphill' is very indicative that you were meant to walk down this path. When things seem natural or easy for us, it generally means that it's the right path to follow.

Then on my left i saw Stonehenge

Stonehenge is more symbolic than you could ever possibly imagine.
Many people believe that this was the work of 'aliens', or at least suspect some kind of ultraterrestrial involvement. Aliens didn't build Stonehenge, humans did. Those people who suspect involvement are indeed correct, as I do believe it was the decision of some form of higher being who told the people to build it in the first place.
The reason for its construction may remain somewhat unknown. I was however reading a particularly interesting piece of information that suggested the reason for why it was built was to encourage humans to never stop searching for answers in our mysterious world. A living testimony to our curiosity and how important it is for us to keep searching.

suddenly everything turned black and white, but not only black and white it was more exceptional, every thing turned up in contrast and was so bright. It was not in the normal vision range it was very energetic. The nature was more beautiful and surreal.

You already know that reality is not what it seems. Everything is energy. What you were experiencing was the true form of our universe.
To see through your normal eyes would give you a certain sense of your surrounding environment. To see life in its true form, like Angels or those already spiritually enlightened, is to see the world as a living, breathing organism. Something so powerful and yet so beautiful, there wasn't need for any color or any kind of improvement. Perfect that way it is.

I don't know how I alone could have generated to feel this way

No man is an island. We are consistently surrounded by a wealth of higher beings and energy manifestations that are here to help us. We are all spiritually connected to not only the higher beings in our life, but to the very people surrounding us down here as well. Kindness and generosity goes a long way in God's books.

I believe this dream is trying to show you what gifts lay at the end of your path. For some reason I am getting the feeling that you have been questioning what you have been doing. Questioning if you are on the right path. This dream is an answer to those questions.

On the spiritual plain, there is entire oceans of knowledge to learn. You feel that this is a natural and easy path to follow. What you have to remember is that this path is one of purity. With more purity comes greater power, you are always proving yourself to be worthy of God's presence, even in the most harsh of environments.

This dream is trying to show you that the path to enlightenment can only be found through the act of searching. Never stop searching the world around you, and more importantly never stop searching your soul within you.

You have been shown the light at the end of the tunnel. It may very well be that your journey here on Earth is coming to an end. You may only have a few lives left here on Earth to complete your searching. Considering how many times we come here, I like to think of it as the final home stretch.

Stonehenge was created for people to start questioning their very existence. If you search deep enough, you may very well find your ultimate bliss.

Midnite

[Summerbreeze]

Thank you Midnite!

Yeah, there are so many rumors about stonehenge, from being a builded chakra for earth to just being a calendar. My wishthinking is that it should represent the possibility of portals, not on the physical plane, but if you would visit it in Astral Projection. I really like the idea of portals. I think it has to do with the illusionary nature of our reality, that I often get symbols as things from videogames I played as a child, so my higher self manifests in an astral experience as a warp hole from "Bugs Bunny - Lost in time" (you can visit different timelines and do different quests, rejoin them and pick up items, that are still left to pick, you also can manifest a guide, I loved the guide!).
My guides used the metaphor of a ship sailing between islands and diving in into the next adventure, both fit together very well.

I have much activities outside from incarnating here, so I take this metaphysical background/momentum with me and it is hard not to stay ungrounded if I don't ground myself, I remember with 4 years downloading information/talking with my higher self, having astral experiences, remembering/dreaming other lifes and knowing on which planet I'm etc. (I also was a bit pissed finding out).

So I'm very close to the "gates" of this planet, so to speak, and Stonehenge is for me subjectively a symbol to a kind of gate.

And you are right, I'm questioning very often during the day what I'm doing, though this sounds more depressing as it is.

I suffer from a incurable, really heavy disease called "intrinsic curiosity" and that leads me to questioning and searching.
Sometimes I'm asking if this leads to anything, but on the other hand its incurable since ever. So It is a important message to know that searching is the right thing.

I like to integrate more of my higher self, beside the glimpses I enjoy from it and decided to go for channeling it, also to clear many things up. My contract is to connect&heal, maybe I can use that for fulfilling the contract, my guides said I should go for intuitive consultation, so I hope it gets me the support in these thing I lack from the environment. Studying management will probably not serve to make me happy alone.

According to the Akashic Records we are indeed on a home stretch.

I also get symbols, nice dreams etc. "to come home". I totally love it.

Thank you, it helped me to see it in a different light, I appreciate your input and the intuitive effort.
If you have a dream, i'd do the intuitive Sigmund Freud for you.

Hi,

It's no problem at all.

I think you are on the right track with the symbolism and drawing a connection with what has happened. However I feel this dream had a more important message directed at your healing process.

I was some kind of soldier in ancient times. I was way out from my city and there was some kind of battle going on.

Sounds like your subconscious mind wanted to portray a state of war. It's always so interesting how your subconscious can render an entire battleground just to make you feel a certain emotion. Wars in dreams do not indicate some kind of physical battle you must undertake. It is merely portraying the battle of your inner conflict.

bad guys were started hurling these spear/javelin things at us. And one hit me! I was trying to dodge all of them, then one stuck in my left arm, went through and then through the skin on my left side, effectively pinning my arm to my side! (I am left handed ).

Right in the thick of it. The first thing we need to discuss is why were spears/javelins being thrown at you, instead of some other type of similar ancient warfare such as arrows? I believe its because these things being thrown at you needed to be large and threatening, and able to be distinguished. Arrows on the other hand travel en-mass, undistinguishable.
When you go to war, you also get hurt.
Why was your left arm hit, and not your right? When you were hurt, it incapacitated your ability to go about normal tasks. You then had a much more difficult time trying to survive as your main arm was injured.

It bled and hurt, and it was in pieces, so another soldier had to pull out the other pieces.

This is highly indicative that you didn't experience a clean cut, or something easily healed. There were remnants left over that lead you to seek the help of another fellow soldier.

I thought I was in pretty bad shape. We went into the town and I went to our doctor. When I got there, I saw people laying out, bandaged up, missing limbs, and I realized that there were people worse off than me, so the doc didn't treat me.

This is the most important sentence in your entire dream.
You were hurt. You went to see a Doctor so he could heal you.
You then decided that there are other people who were more hurt than you, and then decided not to get help.
I feel your dream is trying to tell you that when you get injured, whether it be emotionally/spiritually/ physically, you seek help from somebody who can heal you. You are making the mistake of comparing yourself with the rest of the world, where there will always be somebody fare worse off, and then not gaining the necessary help in order to move on with your life. This particular section does not necessarily have to relate to your relationship, but can also be attributed to any other area of your life.

I had to go on some sort of mission, not sure exactly what for

Life goes on; rain, hail, or storm.

And I knew that I was in this tough army and no one would pity me or cut me any slack. I knew that was hard, but I was OK with it.

Too much masculinity coming through here. That army was you. When you're hurt, get help, don't try and stick it out because you're a man's man.

At the end of the dream I finally looked at my wounds and they were already healing

Eventually all wounds heal. But I want you to think about how much faster they could have healed with proper care.

The focus of this dream was the injury. This is the reason why you remember your dream so vividly. It should also play centre stage in my interpretation.

It's not ok to let physical wounds just left be untreated, the same applies to emotional wounds as well.
Emotional wounds leads to stress and depression. Stress leads to ill health and depression leads to a great deal of anger. At every point of this cycle, inner conflict arises. Your subconscious mind has treated this like a war, because that is exactly how your soul is feeling.

Sealing up your emotions is not a very healthy lifestyle to follow. It sounds like you have a best friend who you're discussing your issues with, however masculine friends are not always the best type of person to give you healing advice.

There was an emotional war and you got injured. Generally you seem quite good at dodging these kinds of threats, however the last one got you.
When in need, don't compare yourself to the outside world. Don't feel what you're going through is insignificant compared to what's happening to others.

You mentioned that the last year was very tough, but I ask you: did it need to be that tough? Is there somebody or something you could be doing to make life easier? If there is, then I ask you to please follow that option.

Start feeling the inner love and learn to help yourself when you have a problem, no matter how big or how small.

I think it has to do with the illusionary nature of our reality, that I often get symbols as things from videogames I played as a child, so my higher self manifests in an astral experience as a warp hole from "Bugs Bunny - Lost in time" (you can visit different timelines and do different quests, rejoin them and pick up items, that are still left to pick, you also can manifest a guide, I loved the guide!).
My guides used the metaphor of a ship sailing between islands and diving in into the next adventure, both fit together very well.

I have much activities outside from incarnating here, so I take this metaphysical background/momentum with me and it is hard not to stay ungrounded if I don't ground myself, I remember with 4 years downloading information/talking with my higher self, having astral experiences, remembering/dreaming other lifes and knowing on which planet I'm etc. (I also was a bit pissed finding out).

So I'm very close to the "gates" of this planet, so to speak, and Stonehenge is for me subjectively a symbol to a kind of gate.

And you are right, I'm questioning very often during the day what I'm doing, though this sounds more depressing as it is.

I suffer from a incurable, really heavy disease called "intrinsic curiosity" and that leads me to questioning and searching.
Sometimes I'm asking if this leads to anything, but on the other hand its incurable since ever. So It is a important message to know that searching is the right thing.

I like to integrate more of my higher self, beside the glimpses I enjoy from it and decided to go for channeling it, also to clear many things up. My contract is to connect&heal, maybe I can use that for fulfilling the contract, my guides said I should go for intuitive consultation, so I hope it gets me the support in these thing I lack from the environment. Studying management will probably not serve to make me happy alone.

According to the Akashic Records we are indeed on a home stretch.

I also get symbols, nice dreams etc. "to come home". I totally love it.

Thank you, it helped me to see it in a different light, I appreciate your input and the intuitive effort.
If you have a dream, i'd do the intuitive Sigmund Freud for you.

Thank you Summerbreeze,

While writing out that interpretation, I felt that we have very similar souls in terms of age, and in terms of knowing where we have come from.

Though we may have come from opposite sides of the universe, we are able to effectively establish that we aren't exactly from 'here'. We also both desire to hold the powers that were once freely available to us.

As you can tell, I spent a lot of my childhood bored. It lead me down a very interesting path into the world of Angels/Demons, the Occult, Spirituality, and Meditation. At some point while meditating, we managed to realise that our souls are not young. That the reason why we were bored was due to the fact that we have been reincarnated here so many times, with such limited powers.

I have meditated for years on end, hours after hours in any given sitting. But it was only recently that I decided to start travelling more.
As you may well know our souls travel the galaxies in order to continue our learning. A few days ago, while in a deep trance, I was taken to meet 3 beings, from 3 very different planets. In the first, the beings had power over elemental forces. In the second, the beings existed in an environment bound by magick. And in the third, those beings existed in a very strange environment where they wanted to torture themselves in strange ways to feel incredible pain; this was all performed to show God their masterdom over such extremeties.
These kind of visions changed my life as I knew it. I realised the subjective reality is nothing what it seems. The hardest part is trying to settle into a 'normal' average life. I already know that's never going to happen.

Out of sheer interest; how many reincarnations do your guides say you have left until a point of ascension?

Thank you for your kind offer to interpret my dreams. It's much appreciated.

I need more time to become comfortable with all that, it feels still like a stretch for one part, especially rationally.

Do you know your remaining lifes? Are you already at a comfortable level of information/communication?

[TuningIn]

I have many interesting dreams, most of which intrigue me to my very core, however, I have few questions about them, as I generally know what they mean for me, however, something was on my mind today, and decided to ask yous guys opinons.....

I began meditating one night, and during the meditation, I kept talking to this person (Not aloud), a sort of conversation, then I would see some random person walking through life, and hear this person (Not who I was watching) talking to me about them....

I shortly after laid down and went to sleep... this conversation with this mysterious best friend on a higher level type of being who switched back and forth from being a man and a woman, who also I never saw their face, until just before I woke up, when I saw that it was my father speaking, (I refer to God, the universe, whatever you wanna call it, as "Father"), continued, and thus, I spent most of my dream time, going back and forth, from sitting in this room, to some random scenario (Like a normal dream) and sometimes this person would be there, sometimes they wouldn't.....

However, that was all just to set the stage, that's not my question......

Just before I woke up, this person spoke and said to me, "Sienna Miller is back to her old ways...." and then I instantly woke up, fully awake, a minute before my alarm clock went off, and I had only slept a total of about 4 hours.....

Now what in the hell does Sienna Miller have to do with anything at all? I don't even know anything about her. I've heard the name, but not recently, nor has she ever been on my mind. Can someone please help me in understanding just what Sienna Miller could possibly stand for/mean, or should I just watch the news for something about Sienna Miller diverting back to something with a negative connotation in which she used to be involved...? Was there ever anything like that in her life? Idk.... Lol

Last night I dreamed that I was in a school starting out a teacher. And, even though I'm not currently in a relationship, I was very aware that I was in a relationship with one of the teachers in the school. She was kinda my "guide" of sorts. I got this real sense that she was the one who showed me the ropes, and helped me through my struggles.

Oddly enough, I lost my shoes (<---this was the central part of my dream, actually). I had to take them off for some reason, and then there was this huge room full of shoes. And I kept looking and looking for my shoes, but couldn't find them. I can still see myself scrambling for them, looking through this massive pile of shoes. Finally, I said "**** it." and just decided to go barefoot (well, I had my socks on, but you get the gist). I go out and that woman (the one I was in relationship with) is there (I didn't know who she was, but she felt really familiar to me for some reason). She smiled and handed me a paper to sign and led me to the lunchroom. As I was standing there with my tray, the cook was razzing me (actually more like "hazing"...you know, the initiation thing for people who are first starting out). He told me I was late for lunch and that I couldn't have what was left. He wasn't saying it in a mean way, I could see a smile on his face. But in the middle of it, he put his face down in the food and began eating it (like a dog) and I was aware that I wasn't going to get lunch that day. The woman was there in the lunchroom with me, but she didn't say anything. I could hear the "oooooh!" tauntes from the others who were standing around.

And then I woke up. It was kind of a trippy dream, and I remember I was feeling pretty anxious about the whole thing (in the dream that is), especially the losing of the shoes.

So, whadda ya think?

Shoes to me, are what I walk upon, what my feet slide into. Where have your "feet" been slipping in and out of lately? Have you lost your direction? Do you find that you are not yourself much lately, but rather are seeking to fill the shoes of others? You saw a room full of shoes, but could not find your own.

As for the food thing, it happened after the shoe thing, and you were late because you were searching for your shoes, yet, it seems you were quite content without any shoes at all, either yours or others. Notice you didn't pick up any of the random shoes which I'm sure would have fit nicely, yet you did find it necessary to sift through the others to find your own. When you gave up in frustration, you went on, but when you got to where you were going, you were too late and didn't get to "eat". Could this symbolize something that has happened recently in which you have wasted time trying to sort through other people's lives and really it was driven by a trying to find yourself? Have you realized that shoes or no shoes you've still got legs and feet.

As a child I had many friends who often ran around outside barefoot, I was never accustomed to such things, so I didn't, but I always envied them secretly in that they seemed more free than me. They would run outside and play, and I would have to wait to finish tying my shoes before I could. I would walk around outside barefoot from time to time when I was alone, to see if I could do it, but I always wound up going in and getting shoes. It hurt my feet too bad to go without them, fore I had never done it before, and my feet were soft and tender. Later on in life, I kind of got tired of caring about whether my feet hurt or not, and purposefully didn't wear shoes when going outside, and began to just deal with the pain, knowing the whole while that after a short time, they would toughen up and it would be no big deal anymore, that childhood "fear" of going barefoot would be gone, and sure enough, it did and now, shoes or no shoes, I am okay.

I must say this however, that your shoes are your shoes, and other's are not. They are not the right size, and if they are, they don't feel the same, and if they do, they might have some foot fungus you don't want to catch.

The woman, I believe, would be as you stated, a guide of sorts.

The fact that everyone taunted you, (The server most of all), was not meant to bring you down, but rather, give you the determination to not be late next time, or to realize that you weren't really hungry, or that you have the strength to go on without such things because you are not what you eat, the money in your wallet, your job, or your relationships. You are you.

You're not your shoes.... :P

Have you missed out on some opportunity as of recently? Or is there something in the making?

My guides have a very difficult time with me. My nature is extremely volatile and I have fired my guides before in the past (this is possible).
I once had a guide who said something stupid to me. I was sensing sarcasm in his voice. You have no idea. It was like a match thrown into a dry forest and started a wild fire. I was so angry that I could feel my chakra burning my skin. I got so bad my Guardian Angel had to fly down to try and cool me off. Days later I noticed dark brown circles up my back and they stayed there for about 8 months...

When I meditate, I am able to effectively enter a trance. Sometimes I slip in and out of consciousness. When I ask them questions, I expect an answer, and my guides are very well aware of that. A lot of the time I am shown visions with some kind of narration in the back of my mind.

During one particularly powerful meditation I asked to see my future lives. After a vision, something told me that I had 3 lives left until I was given an opportunity to ascend. I was then going to come back another 8 lifetimes in order to help humanity.

I am still trying to figure this out. People on this forum are of the understanding that acension doesn't work that way.

I already sensed some kind of underlying boredom in you, also the wish to know if you can find a path to live up to, that is not illusionary and makes you feel whole.

I am still searching for that path.

The biggest problem when we are floating all about, is that we are not 'here'. We are not living in the Now. I myself am a victim of living in the future. You need to find a presence here on Earth that allows you the freedom to travel, but is also interesting enough to want to come back. I have heard of people who went astral travelling very far out, and never returned to their bodies. Sometimes the dangers involved aren't necessarily caused by outside forces.

One thing you have to remember is that we were put on Earth for a reason. Until we finish our job, we aren't going anywhere.

Sometimes I feel I have been here too long. Other times I feel I just have so much left to learn. Only time will tell.

Midnite

[Summerbreeze]

I can be volatile too, but this is just that some people are more sensitive and therefore adapt more sensitively to their environment, whereas others don't get the circumstances, you are referring too.

Be aware, that you are not always talking to your guides.
A random spirit will tell you anything he likes, I remember talking to a dwarf in Astral Projection about something that was important to me.
He just said "You big, you must be hungry in your dimension!"
You can also hire new ones and call them upon the names, they'll give you.
I just listen to those, I feel they want to "move" something. Your guides can be very nice to you, I've a woman that visits me in my dreams and want me always to feel good, she gave me tips how to find a partner, what currently happening energetically and put me in dreams in scenarios I find quite pleasant, she's incredible, but I guess she's not into me

Yes we are for a very good reason here, I guess nobody would go for a longer time on earth without a reason. The negativity/separation this place has been is rare, what will do very well for the future. Also the intended blueprint is total diversity. They showed me a bit what happens when we keep this time-line, these times a very worth living, especially if you have the courage to live up to your purpose. The polarity rises again, but just in the people themselves. We need to understand that becoming aware of the dark is not being dark, it's just means to have a choice, this makes progress so lame, because everyone says "oh, no no I couldn't have dreamed this, no no I have no darker roles I incarnated in, I'm not creating my circumstances, I've no subconscious."
You have that life that is unique and the next is already entirely different, when you integrated the lesson at least.

Living up to a path is nothing you know before what it will be, your mind is not designed to know the details or to construct the future, your higher self gives you a direction and plays that out. Follow your desires, everything will fall in place when we have no expectations and keep with that as many doors as possible open.
I'm about to go the first step now, but I'm not in a hurry, because it'll need time. I don't want to have a desk job for 10 hours a day for longer than a few years, that sucks very hard, I'd rather live in a trailer park, unemployed, watch wrestling, play videogames and eat donuts.

~sb

[Midnite]

Something which has played quite a key role in my spiritual development is precognitive dreams. Till date I have absolutely no idea what my astral counterpart is tapping into in order to so clearly see future events. It doesn't happen that often, but when it does I get extremely clear snapshots of small almost movie-like scenes of events sometimes months or even years before they happen.

No amount of meditation was ever able to get scenes so clearly and so definite. If our minds were not built to effectively see the future, why is it that our dreams can? It's nice having little Deja vu experiences every now and then, just to let me know I'm on the right path.

Sounds amazing!
I guess I have something similar happening, but instead of seeing the same woman, I see different women every time... hahaha yeah. It is a little more rare for it to happen to me, but when it does... oh my God.. I wish I never woke up that morning!
The party only gets started when those dreams turns lucid.

I'm completely there with you. To transcend the normal routine of getting a 9-5 job and only having spare time on the weekends. Everyday should be a holiday!
Meditation, astral travel, video games, watching movies, eating, sleeping. I need to open a utopia for spiritual drop-outs.

What a life...

[Midwinter Mist]

A brief bit of another dream I had...

A relative wanted me to go to India so I could record some music with this new sound, using these Indian instruments (though they weren't actually new and were being done over a computer). I didn't want to go and felt that by going with my sibling (who I assumed would go with me) would put them at risk. I then explained that I would make the music if I still had the equipment, though I could always visit the relative's sister who bought my music software and then record the sound there.

No. It had to be India. Apparently, it was the new thing that was in and people in India were spending mega sums of money to include this sound in their music.

So, I'm at India, and I'm leaving the airport with this Indian man. He seems to be like my guide for the country. Quite like a movie, the view pans back when I exit the airport to show something that's more like an ancient, unusual form of India.

I'm walking along this pathway with this guide, which is like a mini 'Wall of China', and there are lots of other people walking there too. It seems to be the way you have to go before you can still, officially, enter the country.

I ask this guide about the reality of the dangers of this place, and he clarifies that I could end up dying here.

Ahead of me is a large group of these buddhist monks with their hands in prayer, and they're carrying prayer beads. It further reminds me that I'm an outsider to this foreign place, though there is one man like me in front. That man is then stopped by security, who wish to check his passport. Being the foreigner here, I knew security would check me too, so I open my jacket ready to allow him to take my passport from my pocket, which he does. Inside my passport, I have more passport identity photos, which he takes out and makes the point that they should be removed. He investigates my passport, then lets me through.

Anyway, I'm finally getting near the end of the path, when the door knocking wakes me up. It would have been interesting to see where this dream would have taken me. I know the details are minimal, but is there any possible meaning behind this dream?

Personally, I take notice in the fact that I'm leaving my comfort zone into the unknown by walking this path, having to face potential 'dangers' to grow, advance spiritually, reach success, etc. The man removes the images of my 'identity', which involves a page of the same photo - the same ways, same identity, same routine. That to me is the scrapping of the old to pass through.

Uh, wait, I'm interpreting my own dream here... lol. I sort of look at it that way, though, but wonder if I'm missing anything.

[LostMyMap]

Midnite,
Just wanted to say thanks for the very detailed reply. The dream scape has been quite the last couple of nights.

My whole story is in my threads so I won't bore you with the details here, but last year was not good, and I was stuck in a lot of ways, including my marriage. This year is about getting moving again. Even though pulling out the spear is painful, it must be done to get me unstuck so I can move forward and heal. I consider that the last scene where I looked at the wounds and they were healing to be a very good thing for me.

I'll let you know when I get another crazy one. I'm sure I will.

You have quite a symbolic dream here, it's actually quite fascinating.

You are on the right track with your interpretation, there are however two main parts of your dream that stand out to me the most. The first was your reluctance to go to 'India' and the second was the whole passport thing.

A relative wanted me to go to India

A 'relative' in your dreams can correspond to anything from actual family members all the way to representations of people who your subconscious mind is trying to make you feel as if you know them. Sometimes guides also look like 'family members' in dreams, until you wake up and realize 'oh wait.. I don't have an uncle Johnny?". In any case this relative was trying to push you a certain direction and we need to take note of that.
'India' can mean a whole variety of things. In your dream I feel it represents the land of mysticism and knowledge. It is the country where practices such as yoga and meditation originated. I feel the representation of what the country means is more important than the actual country itself. Meaning 'India' represents the attainment of a higher form of spiritual power from a far away place.

so I could record some music with this new sound

Unless you're a record artist, I believe this is a direct correlation with finding your internal sound. The sound of life and more importantly the sound of enlightenment.

I didn't want to go and felt that by going with my sibling (who I assumed would go with me) would put them at risk.

This is a internal defense mechanism that arises when you play with the thought of moving out of your comfort zone. You seem to have already interpreted this part.

I then explained that I would make the music if I still had the equipment, though I could always visit the relative's sister who bought my music software and then record the sound there.

Your internal is now creating the most perfect excuse to not move out of your comfort zone, even if that means not reaching a state of ultimate learning and enlightenment or finding your inner sound.

Apparently, it was the new thing that was in and people in India were spending mega sums of money to include this sound in their music.

In order to maintain a realistic dream scenario, your subconscious mind then directly averted the reason for your travel with the most lucrative response of money or the attainment of wealth. However when I delve into this further it also suggests that 'wealth' may not necessarily mean physical wealth, but the abundance of people in 'India' who recognize spiritual wealth as being the true identity of a person. It is one of the few countries that nurtures such a talent.

Quite like a movie, the view pans back when I exit the airport to show something that's more like an ancient, unusual form of India.

This part sounds so kewl, just makes me want to fly to India...
It is also suggesting that it does not want to show you the actual India more so the fact the ancient Spiritual India.

I'm walking along this pathway with this guide, which is like a mini 'Wall of China', and there are lots of other people walking there too.

The pathway of your Destiny. The Pathway to the Light. The road less travelled. The Highway to your Soul. Take your pick. Walking along your spiritual pathway, you will always find all kinds of other souls walking along that very path as well. There are people in this world who are so similar to you, but you will never meet in the physical life. On a spiritual level they all move together.

I ask this guide about the reality of the dangers of this place, and he clarifies that I could end up dying here.

You guide gives you the most absolute worse scenario when you ask this question. I do not believe the death he is referring to is on a physical plain. I believe he is describing your spiritual death. A fate worse than death where you no longer believe what you are doing, where you are going, or why. A state where your soul is lost. The only solution is to always stay grounded, move forward at your own pace, and never let the fear of God leave you. Trust your intuition, and you will never end up in such a limbo.

Ahead of me is a large group of these buddhist monks with their hands in prayer, and they're carrying prayer beads. It further reminds me that I'm an outsider to this foreign place, though there is one man like me in front.

I love this part with all the monks. As if you are following their spiritual journey as well.
One thing you have to remember is that in the Kingdom of God there is no such thing as being a foreigner. I mean what the hell is a foreigner? We are all one. No matter where you come from or what you do, the spiritual journey has no bounds and no physical limitations. We are born into both sides of the story at one point or another. Don't ever forget that.

Being the foreigner here, I knew security would check me too, so I open my jacket ready to allow him to take my passport from my pocket, which he does. Inside my passport, I have more passport identity photos, which he takes out and makes the point that they should be removed. He investigates my passport, then lets me through.

This is a very important part of your dream.
Your passport can be directly interpreted as your identity. A book that contains all your personal information, including your exact image. These people checking your identity then noticed you have to many photos. This is highly suggestive that you are not concentrating on one aspect in your life. You are however cluttering your life with multiple 'identities' or spiritual practices that are hindering your ability to master the one most important aspect. You need to learn to focus on what is most important to you.
These spiritual security guards realized this, uncluttered it for you, then let you through.

You are on the right track with your thinking, you also however need to concentrate on the fact the spiritual enlightenment won't come by sitting in your comfort zone. Sometimes the most important aspects of life are learnt by effectively leaving what is familiar with us and embracing the new.

Spiritual journeys must be taken alone. No family members, friends or anybody else to try and comfort you. Don't be afraid to grasp what is most important to you when you feel the need to. If that comes with the possibility of spiritual death, then so be it. If it means travelling to the other side of the planet, then so be it. Sometimes those closest to you will relay your very own fears (as they are very similar to you) and hinder you from moving on.

This dream is also suggesting that you are cluttering your life with to many things. They don't necessarily have to be spiritual things, but things nonetheless. You need to figure out what your true path most needs. You then have to focus all of your energy on that one path. Don't feel as if you need to take on too many things at once. Rome wasn't built in a day. Please remember that we come back here more than once to complete our lessons.

The fact that this dream was shown to you, means you are on the right path of thinking. With a little emotional refinement you could very well be on your way to much more exciting things.

My whole story is in my threads so I won't bore you with the details here, but last year was not good, and I was stuck in a lot of ways, including my marriage. This year is about getting moving again. Even though pulling out the spear is painful, it must be done to get me unstuck so I can move forward and heal. I consider that the last scene where I looked at the wounds and they were healing to be a very good thing for me.

I'll let you know when I get another crazy one. I'm sure I will.

Life is a war.

Nobody doubts that.

Strength forms on the inside when we are suffering.

When things happen to us, sometimes the best avenue is to open our souls up to the rest of the world and let the love pour in. Don't ever feel alone, or that you are going to war by yourself. Each and every single one of us is a soldier in the very same army. When a man goes down, we help him out, get him back on his horse and keep riding into the thick of it.

It's this kind of collective consciousness that helps every soldier move on.

Thank you, Midnite. Your time and efforts are appreciated it, and what an insightful interpretation. It makes plenty of sense to me, dream excuses included. The clutter is very true, but I have started to remove some of it, which is probably why the dream proposed I was on the right track.

I often have very vivid and symbolic dreams, though I think I should think more carefully about their messages.

I remember this morning, though, some dream was getting on my nerves, not a symbolic one, though it had meaning and I knew what it was. I became lucid, then said 'stop' to all that was before me. The lights switched off into darkness. Later, after waking up and returning to sleep, I was able to force myself back into the dream and explain things I really wanted to explain, which I prepared before returning to sleep. It was quite useful.

Oh, I once had a dream where, at one point, a black cat's paw got ripped away. Then, on the black paw, there were three white spiders. That eventually lead to a swarm of insects and giant spiders, which was nasty business, but I always thought the black paw and three white spiders was symbolic for something. I just didn't know what, but it happened in a dream in which I was very angry.

There was another dream I felt to be quite special. Actually, three dreams, one after another. In the first, a white lion was aggressive and quickly chasing me in enclosed spaces. In the second, a black lion was calmly and slowly stalking me in open spaces. In the third, a regular lion rescued me and I sat on its back as it jumped into the sky and into the light.

Ok, one more (I'll have to limit myself here ). There was a dream in which I was surrounded by rocky mountains, cliffs, etc. The place was unfamiliar, but there was something about it that caught my attention. Nearby, there was this long horn, which was old and it made me think of Greek times, for some reason. Anyway, I decided to blow the horn, which made its sound. But then, the ground started to rumble, and in the distance came a huge tsunami wave. I remember ducking behind rocks for cover, watching the water shoot past me into the cliffs nearby, lifting up and then, with no place to go, coming back my way where it would consume me. It may not sound like much, but in that moment, with a dream as lifelike as life, I can't begin to express the 'wow' factor it produced.

Oh my God... talk about cryptic dreams!

Ok I need to take these apart and try and arrive at their significance individually. lol its like you summarised 6 different dreams into one paragraph...

I once had a dream where, at one point, a black cat's paw got ripped away. Then, on the black paw, there were three white spiders.

Cats have quite a polarity, in terms of their significance, depending on their colour and the way they act in a dream. Cats have mainly been attributed to femininity however also seriously depends on the context. Black cats are not good signs. Their history stems back into the world of occultism where they were seen as keepers of the underworld. A black cat's paw is seen as the hand of the underworld, in other words death. I didn't actually know its meaning until something just whispered in my ear and told me (which is of course more freaky than the dream... lol)
Three spiders have a significant meaning in themselves. Spiders are seen to be quite lucky animals for a variety of reasons. They are also another sign of femininity. The numbered 3 which highly suggests they could stand for the past/present/future or three separate incidents in your life.
This is where your dream gets ridiculously cryptic; your spiders are white. Albino animals in dreams are highly indicative of good luck or eternal purity. They are seen as highly auspicious, and interestingly also used in certain forms of black magick.

So what we are getting is a black cat's paw signifying some form of death in a certain area of your life, and then you have 3 albino spiders which are considered extremely lucky standing on top of it. My direct interpretation of this first part suggests that with an unlucky backdrop you have had a significantly lucky presence help you overcome this black energy in the past, the present, and will again help you in the future. Or there are three people in your life that is saving you from an impending life of spiritual death or negativity.

That eventually lead to a swarm of insects and giant spiders

Insects are seen as pests or annoyances. They symbolise that an array of different mischievous energies that have annoyed you. The giant spiders in this particular context, on the other hand, signify a strong female presence that has overwhelmed you. This can be seen as a motherly figure that has possibly over-protected you.

it happened in a dream in which I was very angry

This suggests that you have a lot of internal anger about your life annoyances. There are however 3 significant ideals that have lead you to maintain your calm. This swarm of impending annoyances and over-protection has however re-ignited your flames.

You seem to believe that there are instances in your life which instigates bad luck or a great deal of annoyances. What you need to remember is that positivity always trumps negativity, or in your case stands on top of it. What ever is causing your anger deep down needs to be replaced with positivity. If you let the annoyances or bad energies of life overcome you, then you will ultimately lead a path to spiritual death.

In the first, a white lion was aggressive and quickly chasing me in enclosed spaces. In the second, a black lion was calmly and slowly stalking me in open spaces. In the third, a regular lion rescued me and I sat on its back as it jumped into the sky and into the light.

This dream has something to do with your analytical ability in observing the people around you and their degrees of openness.
In the first scenario with the white lion, you are able to effectively establish that there is an open threat within an environment that you can very clearly see. This suggests that when you have people with open intentions around you, you are able to establish what their actions will be without much difficulty at all. They almost become a non-threat as you can so clearly see their movements no matter how fast they decide to act.
In the second scenario with the black lion, its prowling you at a distance. This suggests that people who you see as threats have a much more cunning and hidden agendas. You were effectively able to still see the black lion and instinctively knew it was following you. This means that even if those cunning people are trying to hide their actions from you, you're analytical and instinctive mind is good enough to spot them out, even in their planning stages.
Finally the regular lion rescued you. This gives me the impression that you like normal people with normal colors (so to speak). They rescue you from a world of polarity, where you no longer need to be on-guard.

I decided to blow the horn, which made its sound. But then, the ground started to rumble, and in the distance came a huge tsunami wave. I remember ducking behind rocks for cover, watching the water shoot past me into the cliffs nearby, lifting up and then, with no place to go, coming back my way where it would consume me.

There have been a few tales about legendary horns in battle. Generally when you sound a horn out on the battlefield, your armies start to rush the battle. It's like the ultimate call for support or greater power. When you sounded your horn an enormous tidal wave came, and also completely overwhelmed you. This sais to me that in times of need, when you ask for help, you can be completely overwhelmed with the sheer amount of support and people who are on your side, ready to help you. This also gives me the impression that if you were to sound your spiritual horn, and call for help, there would be support in god-like proportions waiting to help you. Just don't get to excited and get overwhelmed by what you receive. Next time blow it a little softer and create a river, instead of a tidal wave.

I am sure I am missing something here about Ragnarok, some other great war, or somebody who had mythical powers... but you get the message of what happens when you blow it.. LOL

Lol. Fascinating info, and it's incredible how your interpretation of the cat paw / spiders dream was so spot on with many things, such as with an over protective mother and more.

Your efforts really are appreciated, and they really are insightful, but if you only knew how many of these kinds of dreams I've had over years and years and years... yikes. It's just too bad I've forgotten many of the past ones, because there has been some incredible content.

It kinda makes me feel that a higher being or two has been pushing hard to send me messages...

Yes your dreams are absolutely ridden with symbols, in fact the most I have ever seen pushed together in one dream. With most people you will find that a story line ensues with a few symbolic developments along the way. In your case however it's just like Symbolic image layered over Symbolic image layered over some kind of indiscreet meaning. It's kind of like when you layer a base sound, with a higher tone, then followed by the actual lyrics. As a whole, the entire symphony is playing as one, however each individual tune has its own story as well.

This was the sole reason for why I gave up lucid dreaming when I was younger. Lucid actually developed naturally for me in my teens. After a few 'interesting' encounters I slowly developed the understanding that if we go Lucid and control what happens in our dreams, then messages won't be able to effectively come through in the correct format. I then decided the best option to take was to experience dreams in their natural context.

The dreamscape for me is an amazing place of learning. If everybody was only able to sit there and break apart their dreams, inch by inch, and arrive at the underlying message. Then you will find that a lot of your questions or problems are actually being answered right before your eyes.

Why is it, do you think, I have such heavily symbolic dreams and so often? What causes that, do you think?
