Hi Dreamcaster,
Hi, Iris. Really awesome dream. Your dream seems to be spiritually inclined so I'm gonna add my own spiritually based insight.
Yes, I think this is a spiritual dream as well.
Typically I view houses as representing the vessel of the soul. I believe that in the same way our physical body is living body made up a multitude smaller bodies (cells); I believe that the spirit, which is part of our soul, is made up a multitude of other lesser spirits. The people in your dream represent those spirits.
That's interesting, but not quite my view. I see our true selves as psyche, which is Greek for mind/soul/spirit... that is the real self, imo. But I also see myself as part of a spirit family which may be unrelated to my physical family, which may be more in line with what you are saying.
My feeling here though was that the crowd of people represented my sense of sometimes feeling overwhelmed by the masses of humanity currently on this planet, and the fact it's growing so rapidly now. We're over seven billion! I dreamed more dreams of being shoved along by crowds last night, and woke up exhausted from it! It's not something that has cropped up often until these last few nights. Strange, really, as I live close to a town, but really in the country, so it's not that crowded right where I am. I'm just so aware that it is crowded, terribly so, on so much of the planet. And I don't like crowds, I get claustrophobic in them, tend to avoid them. I prefer people one on one most of the time. I'm a little wierd that way, maybe. But in a crowd I'm also a bit overwhelmed with psychic input coming from too many directions. Especially empathically.
I believe we commune with spirits all the time. We commune with spirits like we breath air, but the number of spirits some one may commune may vary. Apparently the large number of people in your dream suggests that you're very blessed. Think of Abraham. Like Abraham you seem to be blessed with a house that is as numerous as the stars in the sky.
Perhaps... I will keep puzzling over the idea!
It seems that the spirits, as represented by the archetypes in your dream, are drawn to you. They gather around you. I believe the spiral represents this concept. Like water is drawn to drain in a sink or air is drawn into a fan; these spirits are drawn to you.
Where they encounter my shields and filters... lol. I do limit who accesses me quite a bit, for my own sanity's sake, mostly to the Holy Spirit, angels, my own guides, and relatives, really. Or anyone the Holy Spirit wants me to communicate with.
The fact that it was hard for you to read because there were so many people may show that are receiving a higher level of knowledge from these spirits but it is hard for you to process this info; much like a computer processes info. I believe that as we commune with spirits, holy or otherwise, we receive knowledge. The golden CDs that were like medallions may represent that knowledge you have gathered and stored in your soul. The fact that the CDs were made of gold may represent how valuable that knowledge is. The medallions may also be illustrating that the knowledge in the form of golden CDs is a reward, in the same way someone who wins an Olympic event receives an gold medal.
Now that is interesting... the CD as knowledge... wow... goes with Gnosis as well, not just intellectual knowledge. I knew in the dream the CD was real gold, and the two medallions with it were real silver. I put them in a separate drawer from where I put the painted medallion, which I think was cast from something like resin or plaster of paris, and then painted. It was not valuable, just colorful. But the CD and the two silver medallions seemed to have more value, and went in a separate drawer. I am trying to remember what the drawers were like on the desk where I put them. I think it was like an old desk I had that I had painted in antiqued yellow, and it had a center drawer where you sit, and three stacked drawers on either side. I think I put the painted one in the center right hand drawer, but I'm not sure if I put the CD and silver medallions in the center drawer above the seat, or in the top left hand drawer. I can't quite see it.
It seems that the dream also is showing how the spirits move you and apparently in your case this is a very good thing. One symbol that illustrates this are the stars that look like kites. Kites are moved by the wind. In the same way you are moved by the spirits and allowing yourself to be moved by the spirits is allowing you to ascend up the mountain illustrated in your dream. And at the top is New Jerusalem or Camelot. This ascension is also represented by the building. Typically buildings have elevators that allow you to ascend and descend up and down the building. Elevators are often used to represent rising up to heaven. You also see this concept in the image of you rising up the mountain trail. It's similar to biblical images like rising up a ladder.
"Kite" also has meaning for me from another older dream. In that dream, I was with a man I was very comfortable with, but didn't recognize at the time, but now know as my spirit guide, Leslie. We were outside at night, laying on the ground next to each other, and I had the string of a kite in my hand, and was flying it. But the kite string went under my body, and across to him, and he had the actual reel in his hand, so while I was being allowed to control the kite, he was actually protecting it from getting away from me. I found in the dictionary that a kite can mean trying something on for size, like trying out a new idea. I have come to believe the "idea" I'm trying on is what would it be like if humans multiplied the way animals do, and the answer is this ever-over-populating planet. We are subject to possible extinction just as other animals have experienced. You see, I think Adam and Eve is the story of how two people were lured into this idea, and voila, we've gone from two that tango to seven billion and counting. The kite is a good thing, and there may be many kites going here at once, or just many people trying on the same kite... I dunno. But there were a lot of them in this dream, probably not all mine. But that seems to be a major life lesson of mine, the consequences of children begetting children, really. A crowd.
Mountains, to me, also represent strong foundations. On another note, from another point of view, it almost seems that there are two paths to ascension in your dream. I notice you seem to suggest that the tall building is "in your way". Perhaps the dream is suggesting you prefer a more natural means of ascension as represented by the mountain trail, as opposed to the "manmade" path to ascension as represented by the building. I'm not sure if you get me. Does that make sense to you.
Yes, I'd agree totally about the strong foundation of this mountain, as it was solid, and levelled perfectly at the top to support the City. The tall building was in the way of my continuing to examine the pattern in the sky, yes. It wasn't in the way of walking, as we passed it easily. I couldn't have chosen to go inside if I'd thought of it, as the crowd was moving rapidly.
I was thinking before I went to bed last night about a gorgeous stone wall I saw once in Provinctown on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. It was the stone wall around a stonemason's property, and he had built this wall to advertise his work, I'm sure. It was made of local fieldstone, but then every few stones, there was a big chunk of a gemstone or geode, and it was gorgeous! This is kind of how the City looked, except it use red jasper instead of field stone.
But I think in thinking about that, I took myself off to Provincetown (which is a reference to Providence, I believe) in part of my dream last night. I was in a town, again jammed with people, and going through this covered shopping area with tons of booths and casual little shops, near the beach. There really is such a place in Provincetown. At one point, I left the covered area, and started down a very crowded path to the beach, again being carried along by a crowd. The path was two-way, and had a low wall on either side and between the two sides. So that one side went down to the beach, the other came back up to the town. As I moved along with the crowd, a man was coming towards whom I knew in the dream. He and I stopped briefly, though it was difficult and we were jostled a lot, and we were kind of arguing about where I was going, and I guess he won the argument, because I was suddenly on his side (don't remember actually crossing the wall) and going with him back towards the town. That's all I remembered from what I know was a much longer dream, but the movement by the crowd seemed interesting, and the knowledge this is a place with a stonewall like the walls of the City, all full of beautiful gems. Which is part of the description of the New Jerusalame in Revelation... it has twelve gates, each of a differnt gemstone.
Whew! Well, I will keep working on it. I feel that was an important dream. I liked the journey of it, especially the movement up and out of the crowd.
On a lighter note, my dog Lily sent me a message as I was waking... I saw an image of her chewing on a rawhide bone, and a minute or two later, she started rustling to get out of her bed. The first thing she went for was a rawhide bone when she got out! She's so cute!
