Two meaningful dreams last night

[DreamTribe]

First I'll introduce myself a little. I'm a 20 year old male, single and from the UK. I study biology at University in my final year. I'm fairly quiet, especially around new people, although I can also be quite outgoing as I grow more comfortable around new people. From a young age, around 7-8, I've always felt some sort of "connection," whether spiritual or otherwise, to the Earth. I've never really been able to make full sense of it, although as time has gone by things have begun to make more sense to me. I connect this with 21/12/2012, the coming of a new age where, as we approach it, humans are becoming more enlightened and spiritually aware, if you will. (I do not think the end of the world is imminent.) It may be irrelevant but perhaps not so I'll let it be known that I dabble in recreational drugs. Mostly, and quite often, cannabis although I'm partial to some MDMA on an occasional night out and a few weeks ago I tried LSD for the first time. I'm not a great fan of alcohol so rarely drink. I suppose I prefer the more mind opening rather than mind numbing substances. I also meditate occasionally, although recently I've started meditating every night before going to sleep as I've found a meditation which works well for me personally. For a few weeks before I tried LSD I often had dreams, though remembered little about them. What I do remember of them is that many of my friends were involved and they made little sense in the typical way that dreams often jump between places and times. I can't remember many events, although I do remember they are always strange and unusual events that me and my friends must overcome. After the LSD I went 2-3 weeks without remembering any details of my dreams at all. It was as though I shut my eyes and opened them 8 hours later, although it felt like minutes. 4-5 days ago, however, I began to dream again but remembering more of my dreams than before. Like before the LSD, they were just strange and seemingly meaningless, involving many of my friends, until last night when I had 2 very vivid dreams. Some background information perhaps necessary to understanding my first dream. I grew up and still live in an area with a fairly large Asian population. As with all people, there are bad apples and growing up I had both good and bad experiences with Asian people. Whilst I'm not a racist person, I'm all too aware that some people of all races are racist towards others, so I am therefore aware of the chance of being assaulted or stolen from etc. for being of a different race. In my first dream, I was with someone who I knew to be friend, although I didn't actually recognise them from real life. (I didn't recognise anybody from these two dreams.) We were also with a group of Asian males, aged between 8-20. We all put some money towards buying some items, although I can not remember what items they were. We went back to where the Asians were living. It was a small community living on a large open field, cars and caravans made a circle around a sort of village green. I remember feeling a sense of unease at first, as I noticed me and my friend were the only two white people in the area. This unease soon turned into a calm sense of belonging as we were welcomed, despite being strangers, in the same way they welcomed the guys we were with. It felt like a few days had passed with us living, eating, playing and belonging with this community when time jumped forward. Me and my friend were walking through a field of lush, soft grass. There were few clouds, the sky was a lovely deep blue and the sun was bathing us in a nice warmth. I remembered suddenly that we had paid for some things we had bought with the Asian guys, but we were walking without them. I felt upset, as though we had been stolen from, but then one of the younger Asian boys ran up out of nowhere to return the things we had bought. At this point I felt overwhelming happiness and joy, remembering that they were kind people. At this point I woke up needing the toilet, it was still dark, but I spent 5 minutes making an effort to remember as much of the dream as I could and the way it made me feel. I woke up with a strong sense that the dream was significant in some way. I could still feel the joy I had felt in the dream when my possessions were returned to me by the young boy. To me it seemed to mark the beginning of peaceful co-existence between all humans, where race, religion, nationality, skin colour etc. doesn't matter. A world where everyone helps each other for the greater good. After going to the toilet I returned to bed and immediately fell back asleep and into another dream. I was walking, again on a lush, soft field during a lovely day although this time I was alone. I saw the most beautiful woman sat down in the distance, meditating. I don't remember much about her, but she was blonde, in her early 20s, wearing a robe and when I saw her I felt what I can only describe as a strong desire for her, both physically and spiritually. I also felt that these desires had a purpose. People from her community appeared, forming a line and one by one went to her for healing. I sensed she had a very powerful connection to the Earth, through which she could heal people. She was the healer of her village, if you like. After some time I approached her and then time jumped forward in my dream. I got the impression that time had jumped forward a number of months, maybe a year. I was with the same woman. I felt as though I had grown spiritually, I could feel that I was connected with the Earth in the same way the woman was, though not as strongly. She was like a spiritual teacher, or guide. I felt like she had taught me a lot about this connection and how to properly harness and respect it. We were alone, intimately making love for some time before time jumped forward again, this time perhaps 2-3 years. Again, spiritually I felt like I had grown a lot. We now had a daughter who was 2-3 years old, but for some strange, unexplained reason the woman had aged significantly. She had grown old and frail and our daughter was sat on her lap. I knew instinctively that she had just two (strange) options. The first was to continue living indefinitely, though physically growing older, more frail and her healing power would slowly dwindle. Her second option was for her soul to let go of her body. This was a strange process in which her body morphed, keeping it's general human shape but her skin would become fur and she would take on features of an animal. I can't remember which animal this was, but it was an animal which she had a strong connection with. She chose the second option and I was there as she passed away. I felt no sadness at her passing, despite our time together being short. Instead I felt a great happiness, simply for having been given the chance to know her. After this had happened a number of villagers gathered around, they seemed angry that they no longer had a healer. They began slapping our daughter, not gently, though without aggression, as though they expected her to begin healing them. I felt disgusted at this behaviour and went over to protect my daughter. I picked her up and began to walk off, at which point I woke up. When I woke up I felt very calm and empowered, tranquil but strong of mind and spirit. I felt more complete and as though I had experienced something very special. This dream to me marked the beginning of a time when humans begin to rediscover our true selves and our true relationship and connection with nature and the Earth. Remembering my first dream while just having woken up from my second dream, I felt a wonderful sensation. I was more awake, energetic and happy and this remained with me for a good hour after waking up. Combined, these dreams made me far more optimistic for the future of humanity. I've never before had a dream that held so much meaning to me before, never mind two in one night! So I have never really looked into dream interpretation. Of course, I've come to my own conclusions about the meaning behind my dreams, but I'd be extremely interested to know what others with more experience would have to say!

You seem to have a handle on things. The only suggestion I can make is to learn about "the Triple Goddess" (if you have not already) who seems to be depicted in your second dream. My Fifth Sun Dreams Blog My Fifth Sun Dreams Facebook

Very well put!

[Superman1]

With a friendly idea or part. You invested in some exotic foreign thing. You went back to the source of that, free and open, transient. Made you uneasy first. You felt foreign. Then belonged. Maybe you thought ahead, where it would all be good but you had not got what you paid for or invested your value and time in. This upset you. This realization returned to you what was yours within. ___________ NEXT DREAM You saw the beauty and purpose you were spiritually attracted to. The healing of all things and people. = Your IDEAL. LOOKING AHEAD. You looked forward again, maybe months or years, when you would be connected as your ideal. Beautiful dream, bud. She indeed, or inthought, was your spiritual teacher, or guide, that had taught you a lot about this connection with the Earth, how to properly harness and respect it, within. The Earth possibly meant Earth life. Alone, you made love with this, consummated it within you. Beautiful again. If only one practicing politician would be like you. YEARS AHEAD. This time you thought further ahead. Maybe literally years. How you would have grown. Oh, by the way, I hope I am right in interpreting the jump ahead in dreams as your mind looking ahead. You now had grown a receptive, sensitive, intelligent, feeling side, which, unfortunately not because of her beautiful nature accelerated beyond her years, had instead decayed. YOUR TWO OPTIONS, strange to you.: 1. You could keep this value living on but weakening. 2. You could separate this ideal from yourself and return to your base animal nature, you probably worse off thatn before for knowing. 3. You didn't think the Right One, in accordance with your dream's past ideal: KEEP this VALUE but strengthening, and return to your $PIRITUAL NATURE. The animal which she had a strong connection with was your animal. You chose the second option, as you watched this beautiful higher glimpse pass away. This says to me you thougt you could not grab a hold of this beauty and nurture and cultivate yourself in this area. Nothing is further from the truth. THE FINAL ACT. Yet you felt no sadness at her passing, despite your time together being short. Instead you felt a great happiness, simply for having been given the chance this part of yourself. You were grateful then, which is GREAT. Yet this made you angry you had no healer no more in you. You see? You forfetied that part you, without reason. More treason. You betrayed yourself, for now. You slapped yourself to bring the healing back you had experienced. You even felt disgusted at your own behaviour. Quite understandable. And the side of you that felt this way protected that $piritual part. If I may be so bold, not unlike The Frankensein Monster, You picked this daughter part of you up, and walked off. At least, my good friend, you didn't throw her into the lake! {like in the 1930's movie} At that point you woke up I gather is when your real experience ended, which you need to wake up to, your soul ~ or your dream ~ is saying. ================================================= "When I woke up I felt very calm and empowered, tranquil but strong of mind and spirit. I felt more complete and as though I had experienced something very special." Nothing can take away this is a brilliant dream. Fantastic beauty. A glimpse of a personal milestone. *You have never before had a dream in reality that held so much meaning to you before.* Well done, man. This IS one of the best dreams I have read. The stuff souls are made of. You know better than anyone of course what your own experience is. You dream is a carbon copy of that, which you maybe have not paid due attention to. **************************************** Overall, I'd say thre dream is about you attempting an idea, or ideal, foreign to you, that held much promise and beauty. As is inevitable, first attempt fail, or decay.
