      crystal cavern waterfalls wonderful dream

      I just woke up from THE most wonderful dream ... I was in a cave system of cascading waterfalls ... the walls were all different kinds of crystals, all with the most incredible opalescence ... there were huge oval shaped windows in the walls so sunlight was pouring in and reflecting and refracting off everything, i was swimming in pools with smoothed crystal pebble sand floors, the water was pure and clear and felt almost magical ... the energy was completely intoxicating ... it was a sacred place with a shrine set into one of the walls onto which people had placed the most beautiful crystals they'd found ... as kind of a sacrifice to the cave for the other crystals they took with them, I was admiring the shrine when I found this big chunk of clear rosé quartz with a fossilised fern inside it but the fern had been replaced with opalescent minerals so it was a kaleidoscope of beautiful rainbow colours ... and my 'guide' (it felt like a tourist destination, the place was full of people and he was my tour guide) who was there told me to go inside it and see what it had to show me ... which was when unfortunately I woke up ... can't begin to tell you how much I hope that was a real place I'll get to visit some day lol ... never had a dream like it ... so full of vivid almost breathtaking colour ... I wanna go back 😞 ... for a bit of background I'm a reiki practitioner currently doing my masters ... had a particularly difficult early childhood from which I've only just gained healing ... your interpretations will be greatly appreciated ☺ I've already done my own but would love to hear from others ... namaste

      It's a wonderful dream and it seems to be a part of your healing experience from a wounding childhood, a dream which I'm happy for you to have. You asked for interpretations, but I think some dreams just are what they are and can be held in memory as a reassurance that there are nice places within ourselves too where one can rest in thought and mind.

      The devil in me has a couple of pointers though. You describe the place as a place for tourists. A place for tourists is a nice place to visit temporarily in between the hardships of everyday life. You go up, you work, you come home and do the laundry and so forth, but sometimes you can be a tourist and perhaps stroll the streets of Barcelona without any obligations. But then you got to get back home and do the dishes and earn your money to pay the bills. As I read the dream this is a place you established within yourself where you can rest, but not linger. -- Did you have this dream after a special occasion or happening, which it might allude to?

      The second point the devil on my shoulder highlights is that since this is a place where many go, a tourist attraction, it is really not your own place. (I'm not saying it is not your own, I'm sharing my thoughts on the image as a general image.) This is a nice place, and nice places are good, but it is not your particular place, and perhaps you would benefit, in the future, to find your place. I wouldn't worry about it, because I wouldn't see it as something to worry about, but a tourist attraction is not always genuine. I'm not questioning your experience which obviously is genuine, I'm sharing associations.

      The third point the devil... oh, who am I kidding, it was me all the time! I was just afraid that I would hurt somebody so I said it was a devil on my shoulder so I didn't have to take responsibility for it. Anyways, the third point I was thinking about, was the waking up. With my experience with dreams, I would say that waking up from a dream is often part of the dream. "And then I woke up", is not seldom the ending of the dream, and when you retell the dream, it goes like this: "But it was my father!, and then I woke up."
      It seems to me, but I'm not sure about this, that the dream uses that to wake us up. "Wake up!" it says. "It's your father complex, wake up god damnit!" Or something to that effect.
      So what I'm thinking, speculating, without knowing anything about you or your dream, is that your guide wants you to wake up. I'm not saying you are sleeping, but what I'm suggesting is that you want to linger in this tourist trap and examine the deeper meaning of it, and your guide says: "Here it is: Wake up!"

      And there you are, in the boring, fantastic reality we all share. So, while this inner room of yours is great, and it is great that you have access to it, and it is great that you have a guide in your inner journey -- not small things, mind you -- it is perhaps not a place where you want to spend the rest of you life, and really, when it comes down to it, there's really nothing there, except the opportunity to rest a little, and the beauty, like strolling the streets of Barcelona a nice November day.

      Great dream, cherish it and save it, but don't confuse it with your own inner treasure, which certainly is no tourist trap. You know what the old alchemists used to say: "Our gold is not the common gold."

      These are the images, the thoughts, the emotions, which rise within me when I read your dream. You are very fond of this dream, and you should be, so I would be sorry if my rambling in any way is hurtful. I do not wish to take anything away from your dream, but since you asked for my interpretation, I shared my associations freely. I hope good comes out of it for you, and if not, I hope you can flush my post down the nearest toilet.

      In either case, all the best.

      hey ... thanks for the input perhaps I should clarify ... when I said tourist destination perhaps I should have said pilgrimage destination ... tourist brings to mind negative connotations whereas there was no sense of that ... it definitely felt like a sacred holy space and everyone there was of the same mindset ... like we'd all been on an arduous journey to get there ... the sense of rejuvenation and wonder was palpable made all the more powerful by sharing in it with everyone there ... definitely appreciate your insights though

      Fantastic and beautiful dream. Special and rare. Water in dreams represents one's emotional life, so to see clear, free flowing water cascading down in a pool of crystals represents you are at present in a uplifted and enlightened state of being. The cave can also represent the womb, our Earth Mother and our beginnings as beings in human form. The Rose Quartz relates to one's mother and the Mother energy. It is said when a mother is worried about her children it helps to hold a rose quartz. A fern inside of it, fossilized could suggest there is growth that could happen in regards to the mother figure but at the moment it is encased (fossilized). Your guides (tourist guides) in the dreams of course represent your own spirit guides and teachers and I think it was a pretty high honor that you were taken to this place in dreamtime by them. I think the dream is representing your own time of healing and growth and you were being given respect by your guides and probably gifts of healing. Whatever you're doing keep doing it!!
