Posts Tagged ‘Dream Interpretation’

Yesterday, I mentioned my Sharon Stone dream. People ask about dream interpretation all the time, and this is my take on it.

Every dreamer is different, I believe. I believe that energy is energy and that psychic energy (energy of the psyche) is like anything else – it exists and is called to whatever is calling to it. As an intuitive, the energies of each dream feel different to me. I use these feelings to know which kind of dream I’ve had.

Most of the people I know who are highly intuitive have what we call prophetic dreams where we are dreaming of something that is coming in the future. These dreams feel real – almost like a movie. I usually have these when I ask a question like: “Show me what is possible.”

Many of us also have dreams for loved ones. I call these messenger dreams as we are assisting as messengers for our loved ones. One of mine assisted in my mom’s healing, for example. My grandmother came in a dream and told me my mother needed me, and showed me that I was an anchor in my mother’s heart. Sure enough, that was true. For me, these types of dreams feel like I am watching something. They feel like I’ve traveled somewhere and am watching something play out – almost like a voyeur. I have seen friends in crisis, I have seen a favorite music artist open his new restaurant, I have seen many things in these dreams.

Other dreams are what Carl Jung talked about being a way the psyche works out its conflicts and challenges in the dream time. In these, imagery and symbols will be used that are meaningful to the dreamer. These help you see what’s underneath the surface of your mind.

The Sharon Stone dream felt like it was all me. That she, as a muse, was a part of me. I had made a huge step the morning before I had that dream. I had followed through on my childhood dream of writing for children. I actually sent a query letter to an agent I found by following my intuition in the Writer’s Market. I have always done the writing, where I had not taken myself is the extra step to share my writings with the audience they were intended for and who inspire my stories.

In my dream, I had gotten frustrated with the lack of movement in working with businesses that seemed to only be interested in making more money, and I quit my ‘job’ and went directly to a writing class.

As I sat in the stadium-style classroom, Sharon Stone breezes in and exclaims, “Where have you been? I’ve been looking everywhere for you!” She was dressed in the garb she wears in the movie, The Muse, one of my favorite movies. She goes on to say, “You’ve been gone so long! I thought you would never come back!”

In these types of dreams, it is easy to look at the surface and piece two and two together to get a logical, simple explanation of the dream. I’ve found that the investment of time to truly dive into the psyche’s energies is worth the investment, and the method I recommend most for those willing to do it is Robert A. Johnson’s Inner Work dream interpretation process.

This process allows the dreamer, a.k.a. YOU, to reveal what the dream means to YOU, rather than relying on dream encyclopedias and such.

I feel that we are all multifaceted jewels, and I believe the journey deep inside of us is one of the most beautiful. I wish I could take a snapshot each time I am gifted with the opportunity to peer inside of a person’s heart. Each one is so unique and so delicately, divinely radiant!

For about a year and a half now, I’ve been teaching vibrational frequency methods based on the emotional scale developed by David Hawkins and the teachings I’ve been given by Spirit. One of the most interesting things that has come out of these teachings is understanding how many people deal with daily feelings of shame.

Shame and guilt are the two lowest emotional frequencies on the planet. These feelings take us deeper into feelings of victimization and helplessness.

A couple of nights ago, I had a dream about Sharon Stone. Sometimes these dreams are real-time, as in I once visited Toby Keith’s restaurant opening in Las Vegas, and sometimes these are more for me. I usually will go look up the person to see what is going on with them (that’s how I found out about Toby Keith’s restaurant opening the same night as my dream).

When I looked up Sharon, I found this article from MORE Magazine. I love her shameless attitude. For me, my reservoir for feeling bad and guilty is near non-existent though I wouldn’t say I’m completely free of visiting the land of shame and guilt every so often. Close, yes.

Can you imagine a life without these two feelings? I hope so because you don’t have to give your one precious life to them. Too many people spend too much time in these toxic waste dumps that are created by themselves for themselves.

About a month ago, I had my photos taken for my book. I so enjoyed the process as the judger and the critic were left at home! Am I going to strut around naked like Sharon, probably not, but we can all take a page from her book to RELAX… and enjoy life.

Shame and guilt are learned…what two year old knows these? My most recent book is all about living in a higher place of being… if this topic is speaking to you, then check it out.
