Dream of 30/10/08

It feels a little mixed up becasue it seems to cover an earth one and a relationship one?? or maybe not I woke thinking of Lauri too, which has me worried. I am with my DH and two kids. There are alot of people about. We get the feeling something is up, when we hear what is like thunder which gets louder. We are then in the middle of an earthquake. The earthquake is big, ugly, very very destructive. There are peole that die in the thousands, yet we (family) are still alive as are others too. We seem to keep 'riding' the waves of the earthquake, entire things turn to a dark grey acrid dust, someone shouts it is death, the ashes of those who have been taken and turned to dust. I am then in a huge glass rectangle box, with a group of others and I think my DH, we are again riding the earthquake and it seemingly takes us away from the center of destruction. We keep thinking we will hit as we come out to a road with houses still in one piece, as we finally stop, everything starts to melt once more. I remember travelling again on the waves and go past my daughters bedroom and look in, there I see her room all in the pink she loves, only with sheets strewn across the bed and some of her things missing. I feel sad. Then again being swept away. I remember being terrified of leaving my DH and would scream when he wasn't near me. I must lose my son also at some time, as I see him, the relief immense, he is stood with a group of other young men, in a cave like area, they all wear white shirts with something on the front, he waves, nods and blows me a kiss :) and we get pulled apart. I remember worrying about the animals too, my dog Sheba and the cats. As I start to wake I begin to hear Southern California, I see a street corner with like an old black lamp light, like the one in Singing in the Rain :) and I see the sea the other side. I then wake up. There was sooo much detail in this dream but no way could I write it all down. I am still shuddering at the feel of this dream.

Dream of 21/10/08

Lots of little dreams all in one night, I remember most of them, I'm not sure if it's 'right' but i do seem to get it and then forget it, if I don't forget I think I'm not getting hehehe if that makes any sense at all?! I had this one this morning, I'm wondering if maybe someone could help with it. I think perhaps I may be the 'ride'?? I remember the dream from this point....I am being told a name over and over, of an amusement park 'ride'...I am outside, it is gloomy, cold, stormy. I am walking with someone who is telling me this name (I can't recall the name) I am being told how wonderful, beautiful, this 'ride' is. As we walk we come to the amusement park, it is to my right and is all on a hill. At the very top the ride being spoken about is there, it is a giant rocking horse. I can see that at some time, it would indeed of been something wonderful, but now it is looking sad, it has peeling paint and it's once beuatiful colours have turned dull. There are a few children still playing on it, but mostly it is ignored/forgotton and in need of repair. I then see that where we are walking, is on a promenade, to my left is the sea, churning, big waves crashing. The promenade is covered with water, about ankle deep. I am then taken into hiding in another part of the park, within some cave/tunnel of a ride. My grandad is the one with me now and he is trying to help me and others. It's like we are being looked for. The place we are hiding is dusty and smells damp, again is old and needing repair. And that's it.

Hi Sam! If I remember my dreams I always try to understand them as I believe those dreams that 'stick with us' are more important to decipher. While reading your dream my first impression was the amusement park and the ride is 'life on earth', and how it can be seen as beautiful and wonderful by another, but it's how you see it being sad and in disrepair, although some are still playing on it, it's mostly being neglected. It's like mass consciousness, most would say earth is a pretty sad place to be and needs a lot of attention and TLC to get back to the original pristine beauty and wonder of it all. The sea starting to engulf the promenade as you approach the ride you are drawn to by your friend walking with you.....reminds me of Noah and the Ark. Being brought into safe hiding in a cave/tunnel, which is also a ride, is like the Ark Noah was guided to build for a safe haven. Your grandad being with you is like God being with Noah, finding safety to get through the storms, being looked for is like the dry land being sought after by releasing the dove periodically. It's not the best of circumstances, your temporary hiding spot/shelter, but it will do! Sam, I really think the message of this dream is this. The ride of life on the amusement park of earth isn't quite what is used to be, it has lost its former beauty and brightness and the colors are duller, and the condition it's in is poor and in disrepair, needs attention, which it's true earth does need help to recover. Some play though, so that is possible. Some have the perspective it's a great ride, come see, so that's another possibility....to shift our attention and find the beauty, again. The coming of water on the path signifies there is danger and to find safe haven, especially to trust the voice of your 'elder' (grandad) and know you are protected and the storm will pass, not only for you but others too. And this too shall pass, Sam.
