NEW OFFICE/GUEST BEDROOM

I liked this dream.

My husband had moved his things out of a bedroom he has used for an office for several years.   I walked inside to see what I needed to do because now it was going to be my office.  A family friend and co-worker came with me to help. The only thing still in the room was the desk he had used, which he now no longer wanted.  It still had several things on it, including a lamp which gave the light in the room.  I knew without asking that my friend would clear the desk off and throw everything away and so I told her, “Leave everything on the desk.  I will get it later.”  The desk was sitting haphazardly in the center of the room.  We walked to it and looked around.  I knew I needed storage for my belongings and considered bookshelves to line the back wall.  I asked my friend where she thought I could get reasonably cheap bookshelves to start off with.  I wanted to do everything right away so I could start working in the room as quickly as possible.  She told me the names of a few stores that sold cheap furniture in a tone of voice that said I knew this but she was going to say it anyways.  I knew she was right, but was still a little disappointed that I would need to start with something of inferior quality until I could afford to buy something better.

SIGNIFICANT SYMBOLS:

Husband-actual husband or what he represents to me.  Suggests literal aspects of the relationship with one’s husband.

Bed/Bedroom-sexual activity, intimacy, and passion.  Sleep, rest, the unconsciousness.

Office-associated with work or a working relationship.  May correspond to one’s duty or obligation.

Friend- a suggestion or warning in terms of your friend’s welfare.  Could correspond to the relationship you possess with that individual, such as wanting to be friends with the person or to be more intimate with what they represent.  Friendly relationship with another.

Desk-can correspond to one’s work situation and environment.  Putting in order/reorganizing (one’s work, thoughts, efforts, etc.)

Lamp-can correspond to an awareness, a light, or an insight.  That which is illuminated.

Bookshelves-a way to keep knowledge or lessons organized and accessible.

It’s possible this is a literal dream.  My husband actually has one of our spare bedrooms as an office.  But highly unlikely.  I have used logic (what my husband represents to me) in my duty or obligation (office) in my intimate activities (bedroom) but am now changing.  I am becoming more helpful and self-sacrificing (what my friend represents).  I am reorganizing my thoughts and/or efforts (desk) using the part of me that is more helpful and self-sacrificing (friend) but want to be careful about it and not just arbitrarily throw away some aspect of myself that might prove useful still (stopping friend from clearing desk).  I am clearly aware in my conscious mind (lamp) of this new change in myself.  I want to arrange this new aspect of myself in the best way possible (bookshelves) but have to start out with what I have earned spiritually/mentally (what I can afford) and not with what I would like to have already.

A good dream showing a positive change in my mental/spiritual growth which will directly effect my intimate relationships.

 

TRIMMING MY TOENAIL

This dream is letting me know I am still working on my attitude.

In the dream, I have my foot in front of me and nail clippers in my hand.  I am very carefully trimming away on the big toenail of my right foot.  The toenail is small, smaller than a normal toenail, due to my efforts, but I am pleased with it.

SIGNIFICANT SYMBOLS:

Right-may indicate a proper choice, good judgment, or a correct direction.  Fixed, conservative.

Foot- direction/journey/personal stance/foundation.

Toe-an extension or specific aspect of one’s direction/journey/personal stance/foundation.

Toenail- a safeguard one uses to help protect one’s personal stance or foundation.

Nail Clippers- refining those aspects of our personality which act as safeguards to protect us.

I have my own direction/journey/personal stance/foundation (foot) which seems to be correct (right).  There is an extension or specific aspect to it that I am working on (big toe).  I am working on a safeguard for this extension (toenail).  It helps protect it (toenail) but it needs work (nail clippers).  I am pleased with my efforts.

My personal efforts in better choices or judgment or moving in the right direction are being affirmed in this dream.  It is always nice to be told you are doing the right thing.  I would say the toenail has something to do with my attitude, as I have worked hard to “trim” it (correct it/make it more acceptable) so that I can do my job better and be of better service to others.  My attitude has always been self-protective/self-serving, but as an adult I have worked hard to be less defensive and more open to others.

 

CONVICTED AND SENTENCED

In this dream, I am found guilty but given a second chance.

I was with my co-workers in the military.  We were at work, talking, when an authority figure arrived.  This authority figure had others with her.  She announced that almost all the members of our group had committed crimes in the course of doing their jobs and would be put on trial.  The person closest to me demanded to know what their crime was and argued with the woman as she listed what they had done wrong.  I didn’t argue with her about whether or not the people had committed the crimes, as I knew they had done those specific things wrong, but I did ask her “Why” those things were crimes.  “Why would that be a crime?  What is wrong with it?”  This made the woman quite angry and she declared that I would be tried along with everyone else.  A quick trial was immediately held and everyone was found guilty.  All of us were sentenced to a minimum of twenty years in prison.  I was in deep shock and devastated that I would be spending the next twenty years in prison instead of living my life as I was used to.  Everyone was taken away to immediately start their prison sentences, but I was left where I was.  An Hispanic man, who was part of the authority group, came to me and told me that I would be given a second opportunity to redeem myself.   If I did it, my sentence would be forgiven and I would be allowed to continue living my life as usual.  I would need to complete a specific task within one hour.  He pointed to where a few authority people were looking at a large semi-truck tire lying on its side .  He then pointed to a large, steel tire rim just a few feet from us.  He told me I would need to put the tire on the rim in one hour.  If I succeeded, my sentence would be commuted and I would be free.  I thought, “I can do this.”  But I had never done it before and so I knew I would struggle.  I immediately began thinking that I needed to bring the tire to the rim and that it would be hard as the tire would be very heavy.  Then the man surprised me.  He smiled and began talking to me about what I needed to do with the rim to successfully complete my task.  He was obviously going to help me, as were the people around the tire.  I thought, “I should be able to get this done!”   I felt very hopeful.

SIGNIFICANT SYMBOLS:

Military-placing one’s self to do the greater good or serve a greater goal.

Work-One’s present occupation and/or one’s duty or obligation.  One’s feelings about work or what is going on there.

Woman-Can represent the emotional, intuitive, family, or maternal instincts.  An idea, project, or person who is represented by the symbol of the woman with similar characteristics and/or behaviors.

Authority figures-one who is in authority.  Could indicate a disciplinary figure or parental figure.

Crimes-the act of doing something one should not have done.  Something unlawful, immoral, or out of character.

Trial-the act of being judged, being too judging or judging oneself.  Could correspond to being convicted of a crime or misdeed.

Condemned/Sentenced-An idea or belief system that has been condemned.

Twenty-division of the whole, or cooperation, union, and adaptability.  This is the meaning of two.  Twenty is actually two in Numerology when one is looking for the meaning of its symbolism.  If a dream is specific and says “twenty” instead of two, then the meaning can be applied in a broader sense, as in the effects are deeper and more far-reaching than if the dream had only said two.

Year-corresponds to time, the passage of time, or increments of time.  May represent any cycle of evolutionary period.

Prison-that which confines, surrounds, penalizes.  Losing individual freedom and will.  That  which has caused one to be trapped (i.e. habits, circumstances, a relationship, or one’s environment.)

Hispanic-very group/family oriented.  More relationship focused. More fatalistic, less time conscious.

Man-corresponds to the masculine side of one’s nature.  Masculine traits-strength, courage, determination, virility.  Independence.

Test-corresponds to a test or lesson.  Often associated with a challenging experience or situation.

One-associated with the first, the beginning, the One God, oneness with God.  Unity, individuality, or independence.  Maybe symbolic of God.

Time-may correspond to the appropriate timing for an activity, event, relationship, or change.

Tire-a basic belief, idea, foundation, principle, direction or perspective necessary to help one do what they need to with themselves, their work or their current situation.

Tire rim-a basic value needed to make a belief, idea, foundation, principle, direction or perspective work in relation with one’s self, one’s work, or one’s current situation.

I am working with others (co-workers) to serve a greater goal or do a greater good (military) in our present occupation or duties/obligations (work).  An actual authority figure (authority) who is a woman or who represents emotional/intuitive truth (woman) has determined that the others (co-workers) have done something immoral or unlawful (crimes) in their present occupation or duties/obligations (work) and proceeds to judge them (trial).  My coworkers do not understand why they are being condemned (questioning) as they believe they acted correctly. The others are condemned (condemned/sentenced) for their actions and must live for a length of time (years) in which they must work on the issues of cooperation, union, and adaptability (twenty/two) without the ability to free themselves from those lessons (prison).  I question why their actions were wrong, and am similarly condemned (found guilty and sentenced as well).  This is probably due to not having enough maturity to realize why the others’ actions were wrong.  But I have done nothing wrong, as did the others (co-workers), and am given a second chance to prove myself (test).  I must show a oneness with God (one) within a specific time period (hour) to accomplish the task given me-to be able to change a basic belief, idea, foundation, principle, direction or perspective necessary to help me do what I need to with myself, my work, or my current situation (changing tire).  I must use a more group oriented perspective (Hispanic) which is also strong and courageous (man).  Whatever this basic belief, idea, foundation, principle, direction or perspective is (tire), I must be able to make it “fit” with the basic value (put on tire rim) which will make it work in respect to myself, my work, or my direction in life.  I don’t know how to do this, but am shown I will have help (authority figures helping me).  I believe I can do it with their help and am hopeful.

I believe this refers to a period of time which has now passed, when I had a change of boss at my workplace.  This boss determined that certain people weren’t doing their jobs according to her standards and over time eventually released several of these people.  I know these people believed they were doing their jobs well and were unfairly removed. For quite a while, I was worried that I would be one of those people.  Not because I was doing my job incorrectly but because I had questioned some of what I was told and knew I had angered this boss in the process.  Once I questioned, I was under the microscope and needed to prove myself.  In the process of proving myself, I also needed to have a change in attitude to more gracefully accept what was happening around me while doing my job and to appear to be more a part of the team.  I received help in this learning process/testing period by becoming more group oriented (Hispanic).  I believe the dream is letting me know that the time of this testing is over and is a recap of what happened.  In reality, it has been about a year and a half.  But the dream could also be indicative that a new time of testing is coming and I must be prepared.  I am getting another new boss soon and may have to prove myself again.

This is a review of passing conditions and a possible warning of new conditions coming.   Forewarned is forearmed.  This should help me handle whatever the coming situation is with grace and patience.  This also helps me to remember what has passed and to solidify in my thinking what I have learned and how I have grown.

 

 

 

BROKEN GLASS IN THE BEDROOM

This dream came to me after an argument with my husband.

I moved from the living room into the bedroom.  I was straightening up and putting things away, when I noticed I had a piece of broken glass in my hand.  I noticed it as I straightened the curtains on the bedroom window.  As I moved to the end of the bed, I noticed a dog coming to the front door, which was glass.  It was black.  The door was open, but I didn’t want to deal with the dog or the neighbor following it, and closed the door without saying a word to either.  They both looked at me quite shocked.  I moved to the end of the bed to have better light and saw that I actually had at least four broken pieces of glass in the back of my hand.  One of them was quite large, at least one and half inches long.  Only a small end of it was embedded in the back of my hand and the rest stuck straight out. The other slivers were quite small but still there, sticking out of my skin just like the large piece.  I told my husband, “Look!  I have broken glass in the back of my hand.  I don’t know where it came from.”  I pulled out the glass and looked around the room to see if it had come from there.  I pulled aside the bedspread from the end of the bed and saw that the broken glass had come from there.  It was an old glass we had bought in Las Vegas when we were young and hadn’t been married very long.  The glass was broken into mostly large pieces on a bench at the end of the bed and had gotten covered by the end of the bedspread.  I knew I hadn’t broken the glass and no one else lived in the house, so that only left my husband.  I asked him, “Why did you break the glass?  And why did you just leave it there?”  He didn’t answer, but began helping me clean it up.  I was upset with him for being careless and thoughtless and now I was hurt.  Not badly hurt, but still hurt.

SIGNIFICANT SYMBOLS:

Living room-one’s state of mind or environment.  Could correspond to one’s daily activities or a more formal and public life.

Bedroom/Bed-sexual activity, intimacy, and passion.  Sleep, rest, the unconsciousness.

Day-fresh start/new beginning.  Clarity, truth, insight. 

Curtains-something which can obscure one’s vision. 

Windows-associated with sight, awareness, attitudes, or that which one presents to the world.

Spouse-my actual spouse or what he represents.

Left-receptive, open-minded, liberal.  The unconscious part of one’s self.

Hand-service, participation, or work.

Four-associated with stability, materiality, and something that is of the earth

Broken-something that was neglected, broken, ignored.  Something that is no longer of use.

Glass-that which holds something to eat or drink.  Could represent a fragile part of one’s life.

Dog-may be symbolic of loyalty and faithfulness or aggressiveness and territorialism.

Black-knowledge associated with the unknown, the unconsciousness, or the suppressed. Mystery.  The unknown or unconscious knowledge we have which is being brought to our awareness.

Neighbor-the actual person or the relationship one has with their neighbor.  Something or someone near to one that must be lived with or endured.

Door-an opportunity, experience, idea or new pathways to personal expression.  Unexplored regions of the self.  Front door, what is coming next.

Blanket/covers-personal security and comfort.  That which covers the situation.

I am moving from one state of mind (living room-thinking of daily activities) to another (bedroom-intimacy in relationships) and making the effort to correct or clean up my thinking (straightening up) as part of a new clarity or insight (day) I have gained.  Part of this process involves opening one’s view (opening curtains).  When I do this, I become aware (window) that my logic (my spouse) has hurt me (broken glass) in being receptive or open-minded (left) to service (hand) in the material realm (four).  It’s not serious (small bits of broken glass, easily taken out) but it could be serious if I just ignored it.  I try to figure out where it originated from (finding where broken glass comes from).  As I do this, I become aware of a new opportunity or experience coming to me that has been in my unconscious but now is making itself known (black).  It stems from loyalty and faithfulness (dog) and must be lived with or endured whether I like it or not (neighbor).  But I am not ready to deal with it and shut myself off from the opportunity (close the door).  This seems like a bad idea judging from the fact that the symbols in the dream appear shocked at my action.  I continue to seek out what is causing me a problem, even though I have taken care of it (removed the glass).  I find the cause in my intimate relationships (bed) and until now I have hidden it using my logic (my spouse using blanket/covers).  But now I see a fragile part of my life (broken glass) has caused this problem.  This seems to have started long ago in the past when my sp0use and I were just having fun (as represented by the actual glass and when we bought it).  I am frustrated at this (angry at spouse) but will correct the error (clean up broken glass).

This dream came about because of a stupid argument I had with my spouse.  Yes, we all have stupid arguments.    But it helped to point out that no matter how far we come in our personal growth with ourselves and others, there is always more to learn and correct.  We must be willing to correct ourselves when we know we need it.  Knowing you need to change something about yourself is not enough.  You must make the effort and actually change.

 

 

 

MOVING TO ARIZONA

Sometimes change is foretold that isn’t necessarily looked for but the indications are it is for the good.

My husband, our grown daughter and I moved to Arizona.  This was not planned, but we seemed happy about it.  It was to be for a year. Our apartment was very simply furnished and seemed Spartan.  I assumed I would be decorating as the year progressed.  I awoke on the third morning and realized I was really missing being around my husband’s family.  As we were getting ready for the day, I told my husband I missed his family and wished we could go back.  He didn’t say anything.  I knew this meant that we would be staying where we were and finishing the year.  I straightened the bed and pillows and remembered that we were to have sex that night.  This excited me.  I could hear our daughter getting ready for the day as well.

SIGNIFICANT SYMBOLS:

Husband-actual husband or what he represents to me.  Suggests literal aspects of the relationship with one’s husband.

Daughter-Can represent the relationship with your actual daughter or a warning about your daughter or what she might represent to you.  That part of one’s self that might need direction.  Might represent someone else who is like your daughter in personality or relationship.

Arizona-the actual state itself or what I think of it. 

Moving-can correspond to a change or progression in understanding or consciousness

Year-corresponds to time, the passage of time, or increments of time.  May represent any cycle of evolutionary period.

Apartment-one’s place of residence. Temporary lodging or condition.  One’s current situation or experience or personality.

Family-corresponds to the relationships with the people featured (emotions involved in those relationships, areas that still need to be worked on, etc.)

Bed-sexual activity, intimacy, and passion.  Sleep, rest, the unconsciousness.

Pillows-can correspond to rest, relaxation, sleep, or sexual activity.

Sex-can correspond to creativity, love, reproduction, or self gratification. May indicate a close relationship or the need to develop a unified relationship.

My husband ( I believe that the dream means my actual husband) and I change or progress into a different understanding or consciousness (moving) to a place we haven’t been before (Arizona).  We bring our current spirituality with us (adult daughter).  This place represents a more independent, conservative and autonomous way of thinking (as I perceive Arizona).   This could also indicate our actual daughter is also moving into a more autonomous, independent and conservative way of thinking (Arizona).  This will be for an extended period of time (a year, but not necessarily a full year or could be more than a year).  Our consciousness here is temporary but what we need for the current situation (apartment).  We haven’t done much work with it yet but I expect to (rather Spartan in decorations/furnishings). I realize I miss how things were before (being around my husband’s family).  I would like to go back to that (move) but I know we won’t do that until we finish what we came to do in Arizona (new consciousness).  As we prepare to do what we need to do (getting dressed/ready), I keep our intimacy (bed) and relaxation (pillows) appealing and attractive (straightening up).  I know my husband and I will continue to work on our relationship (having sex) and that pleases me.

I believe this also applies to just me, by myself.  My husband represents logical thinking to me.  Thus, I am moving into a more independent, autonomous and conservative way of thinking, as is my spirituality.  This is a place I need to be to accomplish something necessary for my soul growth.  This will last for an extended period of time.  I miss the previous mentality where I relied to some degree on my family relationships, but logically I know this is something I must do.  I will still work on my intimate relationships and staying relaxed, especially with my husband, and this makes me happy.

 

 

CARBOHYDRATES AND THE BODY

Some dreams are strictly messages that don’t even need interpretation.

I was looking at something in my hand and wondering why I was still having such a hard time maintaining my health.  A voice told me, “All carbohydrates convert to sugar within the body.  It doesn’t matter what type of carbohydrate it is.  One must be careful with the amount of carbohydrates consumed for different types of bodily ailments beyond just diabetes.”

The message is just explaining to me something I already knew but have a hard time accepting.  I can no longer eat pastas, breads, pastries, etc in the amounts I would like, as my body can no longer handle their carbohydrates in a healthy manner.  I don’t want this to be true, but the matter is not in my control.  I can only control what goes in my mouth, and I have to make healthier choices.

 

SKYDIVING

In this dream, I am shown that I will attempt something new and find I like it.

I appeared to be working on something with several people.  It felt like I was at work but didn’t look like the actual workplace I go to every day.  We were having difficulty getting things to go as we needed them to, but it seemed to be working out anyways.  It was just a struggle.  Then my coworkers and I were in a skydiving airplane high in the sky.  It was quite large and seemed to be military.  I had never skydived before and was quite nervous.  Everyone jumped out, one at a time.  I was close to the last and had to be careful to aim away from the others.  I noticed everyone else using flying positions, whereas I had just jumped out feet first.  It seemed I was falling faster than the others because I was not holding my body in the positions they did.  I struggled to change my posture to that of the Superman.  It took a lot of physical strength to do it but I managed.  And then it seemed I was closing in on the Earth quickly and so I pulled my ripcord so that my parachute released.  I did this a good second before everyone else as I was nervous I would be too late and crash to the ground.  The parachute caught the air and pulled me up.  Everyone else released their parachutes and all of us floated to the earth.  It was only a second or two after I opened my parachute and my feet gently touched the earth.  I realized I had opened it at the appropriate time and was quite grateful.  Everyone else landed around me.  I was very happy with how well I did and I knew I had loved the experience.   I would definitely do it again.  I grinned at my compatriots.

SIGNIFICANT SYMBOLS

Work-one’s present occupation and/or one’s duty or obligation.  One’s feelings about work or what is going on there.

Airplane-lofty idea or project.

Military-placing one’s self to do the greater good or serve a greater goal.

Skydiving-to dive into something using a lofty idea or project, which can end in disaster if not done correctly.

Superman-the way in which one handles a lofty idea or project.

Parachute-that required to slow down to a safe stop.

I am being shown a situation that will occur or is occurring in my life.  This involves my present occupation or duty/obligation (being at work).  I know that certain issues are a struggle but are getting done.  And then my fellow workers and I engage in a lofty idea or project (airplane) which serves the greater good (military).  They have done this before and I have not.  We use this lofty idea or project to dive into something new (skydiving).  But we must be careful otherwise we could crash and burn (parachute not opening and crashing to the ground).  One must handle this new project in the best way possible to achieve the best results (flying in the Superman posture).  I manage to do everything as I should and safely complete what I attempted.  I am quite pleased with myself and know I will try it again.

This could do specifically with my work or a personal endeavor, such as Church, a hobby, my family, etc.  It serves the greater good.  It’s exciting to know that I am going to be successful at something that is helpful to others.  It would have been nice to know specifically where this applies.  Sometimes we just have to be patient to find exactly where a dream message pertains in our lives.  It can be frustrating.

 

 

LOST MY LEG

Some dreams help explain our current state of mind and how we are reacting to our situation:

In the dream, I knew I had lost the bottom half of my left leg, right below the knee.  This was very recent, so that I hadn’t received any physical therapy or been fitted with an artificial leg.  I lay down in bed to sleep and at some point awoke in the night.  I was aware of the sheets and blankets touching my body and could very clearly feel them against the missing part of my leg and foot.  I stretched and felt my missing leg and foot stretch.  It felt completely real, as if it hadn’t been cut off.  But I knew in my mind that it had.  I enjoyed the feel of it and thought it funny that it felt like it was actually there in every way.

SIGNIFICANT SYMBOLS:

Leg-that which is one’s foundation, support, principles, or morals.

Legless-to be without principles, a backbone, sense of direction, a job, self-respect.

Left-receptive, open-minded, liberal.

Sleep-associated with being unconscious to the external environment.  The internal feminine, waiting to be awakened.

Bed-sexual activity, intimacy, and passion.  Sleep, rest, the unconsciousness.

This dream begins by letting me know I have lost some of my principles/foundation (legless) that were open-minded or liberal (left).  I haven’t lost all of that belief system as I still have part of the leg.  I know this has happened but in the dream I feel fine, and so the loss apparently isn’t devastating.  I am aware that I still need medical rehabilitation (spiritual intervention) to help me adjust to my new state of being.  I have been unconscious to (sleeping/bed) as to how this feels in my external environment or effects my external environment,  but become aware enough (waking up) to realize that I don’t feel any different.  I still feel exactly the same.  I find this amusing.

This dream indicates I have gone through a fundamental change in thinking that will effect my whole way of living, but I have as yet to feel the effect consciously.  I have “lost” some of my liberal, open-minded thinking but have not replaced it as yet.  I realize I don’t feel any different  and haven’t really noticed how losing this particular thinking will effect my life.  This helps me to be more aware consciously, as situations arise, that my thinking has changed and my reactions and decisions could end up being different than what I am used to.

 

 

FRIEND IS CRYING

In this dream, I receive a message concerning my friend.

In the dream, my friend is in front of me.  She has called me on the phone and is crying.  I don’t see anything else in the dream but her. She is very loud and clear. She says that she just found out her boyfriend has cheated on her.   He told her he needed to do something which sounded reasonable, but come to find out he had instead gone to his ex-girlfriend’s house and spent the weekend.  This has happened several times.  She doesn’t know what to do.

SIGNIFICANT SYMBOLS:

Friend- a suggestion or warning in terms of your friend’s welfare.  Could correspond to the relationship you possess with that individual.

Phone-Associated with gaining information or insight.

Crying-release of emotions/severe disappointment.

Boyfriend-relationship with that person or what it represents.

Cheating-having an affair with another person.  Deceiving or being deceived.

My friend (as shown in the dream) gives me an insight or information (phone call) into a problem she is having with her boyfriend (the actual person).  She is very disappointed (crying) because she has found out he has been deceiving her (cheating).  This seems to involve an ex-girlfriend.  She doesn’t know what to do.

Just looking at the dream symbolism makes it very clear that the information being given to me specifically concerns a situation my friend has.  For example:

  1. I see only her in the dream and nothing else.
  2. She speaks directly to me (even though we are speaking on the phone).

In this case, the information was very specific.  I knew when I had the dream that it was about her and that at some point I would receive some kind of information explaining what was actually occurring.  About three weeks after I had this dream, I had a conversation on the phone with my friend.  She was crying and telling me about how she had just found out her boyfriend had cheated on her.  With more interrogation, she stated he hadn’t actually cheated, but had been texting his old girlfriend.  But he hadn’t told her outright, she had found out by accident.  She believes her boyfriend has an unhealthy relationship with his ex-girlfriend anyways, and that this is merely a continuation of something which should have ended long ago.  She doesn’t think she can trust him because he does not seem willing to let go of this unhealthy relationship.  She wasn’t sure what to do.

As I had been expecting this conversation, it gave me the opportunity to react in a neutral manner, thus enabling my friend the room she needed to work through her feelings and eventually end the relationship without judgment from me.  If I had reacted in any other way, it might have made her defensive and more willing to preserve a bad relationship. Being given the warning ahead of time allowed me to react in the best manner possible.  This dream also marked a turning point for my friend, as it proved to be the catalyst that propelled her into a new direction in her life.

That is the point of precognitive dreams.  It is not for sensationalism or to give you an unfair advantage over another.  Precognitive dreams are meant to give us the opportunity to react in the best way possible to whatever occurs, to help ensure the best outcome possible.  Not just for ourselves but for the people and events involved in the dream.  This particular incident with this particular boyfriend was a catalyst for change.  That would explain why I received a precognitive dream about it, as it marked an important point in my friend’s life, of which I helped play a role.

DRIVING WITH SCORPIONS

I am shown I need to be alert and take care of problems showing up.

I am driving my car and see a small scorpion fall into my cup holder between myself and the passenger seat.  I don’t want to risk being stung and take my cup in the other cup holder and kill it.  Then I see another scorpion fall into the cup holder.  I kill that one as well.  And then a third.  As I killed the third, I thought to myself, “I need to tell my husband my car seems to be infested.  We need to find a way to take care of this problem!”

SIGNIFICANT SYMBOLS:

Driving-associated with one’s journey or direction.

Car-symbolic of yourself, your work, or your current situation.

Scorpion-associated with danger. May correspond to that which is hurtful, bitter, or stinging.

Cup-represents a mission, a duty, a higher purpose, or a journey.

Killing-associated with that which you are trying to kill or dispose of or that which is trying to do away with you.

Husband-actual husband or what he represents to me

I am on a my personal journey (driving my car) when I find I seem to have a problem with something that could be hurtful, bitter, or stinging (scorpion).  I use my sense of mission, duty, or higher purpose (cup) to rid myself of the problem (killing scorpion).  But I find more problems that are hurtful, bitter, or stinging (scorpions) keep coming up and I have to rid myself of those as well (killing other scorpions).  I realize I might need some help using logic (my husband) or emotional support (actual husband) to help me deal with these problems.

Another dream indicating a difficult period for me in which I need to stay aware of what is going on and use my sense of higher purpose to keep me on the path I desire, and not be sidetracked by problems that hurt me.  It seems I will have a series of problems and I will need help in dealing with so many.  I know this is a period of change for me that will hopefully lead to greater enlightenment.
