Dream
By FireStarter
Off in the distance I saw
clouds blowing up, quickly one next to the other, like
I had never seen before. Then, a snow like powder fell
from the sky. It seemed to fall too quickly to run in
the opposite way....away from it.
I felt there were two choices,
run away, get into a car, but instinctively knew, it
was in the direction I'd be running to also. So I went
into a house to seek shelter from it.
The whole ground, everything
was covered in white. It was a yukky white, not cleansing
like snow. I'm now in a house with others as we figure
out what to do. Some people opted to go into the white
and drive away hoping to find places that weren’t
white. Not many had this opportunity. It was quiet.
We ate the foods in the house
but wondered what to do with our waists.
Apparently the toilets didn’t
work.
There was no big blast,
just big clouds then a thick covering of white everywhere.
The white didn’t kill us but we knew it would in
time. We tried not to breath it, by not going outside
and keeping it off our skin as best we could. But, .........
It seemed hopeless....the earth was covered in it.
This morning, I am beholding
the green everywhere. The birds, which I don’t
recall hearing in my dream, the wind, that seemed also
to be gone in the dream. It was an awful dream to have,
but I can’t help but feel it was somehow helpful.
I am sure as I walk with this dream, I will understand
more.
I laughed a bit when I told
hubby that now I understand why they tell people to
put duct tape in their emergency stuff. But, in the
dream, duct tape would only help in the initial coming
in of the white stuff. In all reality there would be
no getting away from it. I've had other dreams in the
past about Earthquakes so powerful you could see the
Earth’s surface "wave".
I've had a dream where people
from other planets came to help us "Stop this!".
Stop this suicidal behavior. (I never gave any thought
to life on other planets until this dream). I don’t
like what I'm seeing. It’s a hard one to swallow
this morning. I'm thinking about all the wild life now.
No houses to go into. Lungs
coated. Death would be a lot faster for them. This dream
has changed me. I'm not the same person I was yesterday.
I'm kinda sad. Not scared, just real sad. I think I
will really, really, appreciate so much more the surface
of Mother Earth. I don’t watch shows like this
on TV. I choose not to go to places in the mind that
would create something like that. For me, this wasn’t
a typical dream. All these survival things on web sites....how
to find water, etc..... useless. The white stuff touches
everything.....even deep water. I guess too, it seems,
as we cry for peace louder than ever the voice of war
is very loud as well. Too, I guess in time, I will learn
what to do with this dream. There's no way I'll go to
the corner and start yelling about it...LOL! I even
wonder now, as I come to finish this if i should even
post it? How would it affect others. I can’t even
tell you the heaviness in my chest right now.
Namaste, Karen
WindDancer:
Karen, this
is not an interpretation, just some observations for
you to take or leave as you wish... I was struck by
the sense of resignation. You mentioned at the beginning
that there were two choices and yet the one of leaving,
which you called 'running away' didn't really seem to
be considered as a viable option. How do you know what
was beyond the white? Do you know for sure that it wasn't
the solution, or a perfection that you never imagined
existed? I'm filled with curiosity. I would love to
meditate on the white and journey into it to see where
it takes me. But then I've always been a bit weird!
I was intrigued by the
sudden shift from black to white also, and the fact
that you seemed to be a lot more bothered by the 'yukky
white' than you have ever been about the 'black'!
EagleSinging:
Karen, your dream
reminds me how precious the gift of breath, the touch
of a friend, and knowing that we have opportunities
and options before us - not much of which was present
in your dream. It was a subtle encroachment into your
lives. It wasn't awesome or something that grabbed your
attention, it snuck up on you - so to speak. It is what
can happen to us as we go through our lives shutting
down our awareness - to me this dream is a reminder
of the all the gifts we can bestow as we walk in awareness.
The dream to me wasn't about a lack of, but about how
fortunate you are by reminding you of what it could
be like. This is what came to me and I wanted to share
it with you. I can imagine the dream left you with a
heavy impression, but I don't believe that was the message.
FireStarter:
Hi Wind Dancer
and neat questions you put out there.
They feel close to the core. I am prejudice. black+white-
oh goodness. (head in hands) I can see it causes me
problems. Beyond the white? Imagine......I saw the white
"dead snow" or (fall out) was everywhere.
It was so engulfing. Yukky white.....lol.
I am surrounded by Christians,
most of them extreme. I live in Kentucky!!! It's funny,
my sister just told me in an email this morning that
she goes to church sometimes. She assured me she wasn’t
extreme. lol. Me? I just want to put up a sign next
to every "abortion stops a beating heart"
sign that says, "war stops a beating heart".
I think it would be way cool for you to see into the
white and if you wanted, let me know? Black as positive?
Well, my best friend is black. I'm born of darkness
(rape) and have HAD to turn it around and make it positive
just for myself. I'm the "black sheep" and
have had to learn to be proud of it. Not so proud, but
major acceptance. My family was very serious about black
sheep. It's funny, when I wear white it feels real different
than when I wear black. In my awake state I've seen
two Spirit Women. They were both white. But, I do see
where the darkness defined them.
Eagle Singing..... Ya, I
dropped into a sleep a long while ago and wondered what
on earth it would take to wake me up. Really hoping
it wouldn’t be something real tragic, but really
needed to wake up.
Yesterday after posting in
here this dream I went outside. The black birds that
fly in huge bunches were around me, big crow sitting
atop a tree not far away. I was barefoot and so very
appreciative and awake. I went out to the horses in
the fields and held one of my kitties as I visited my
red mare. I felt very awake. My awareness was such that
I even put my ear on a cedar tree and listened to it
respond to the wind. It was very heavy this dream, but,
I really was more awake yesterday than I've been in
quite some time. I would even say, my awareness was
"crisp" yesterday. I am not the same person
I was before the dream, and really, am so glad of that.
Sometimes, I become so asleep, it takes a Mack truck
to wake me up! I hope I can stay awake or just take
little naps. Maybe I hibernate in the summer and am
awake for winter?! lol. I am quite backwards. Have a
beautiful uncovered day!!!!!
WhiteBuffaloWoman:
Karen,
I too have had some sense of impending "doom"
with the white snow. (like nuclear winter). Again not
the cleansing, happy feeling with the big flakes, but
the bitter cold with the small pellet like snow. Being
backwards is not bad, just hard to feel at home in this
world. Here is a hug for you from your sister.
Dream II
By Eyemage
I would appreciate
any help anyone can give me on this dream I had two
nights ago:
I walked up to a house (which wasn't my house)
and on the porch there was a dead reddish-brown snake
that I knew to be a ball snake (I know there are such
snakes as ball pythons, but don't know if they are this
color).
I then went inside. I was carrying a black snake with
me (I don't know where it came from)
in my left hand.
I was carrying it by its body and it bit my hand.
The bite didn't hurt, but it surprised me and so I jerked
my hand and sort of threw the snake.
I read the information in
the totem library about snake, but I still don't know
what the dream means.
Nowment:
One thing to
remember when it comes to dreams is to try to know your
own feelings and emotions to what was happening in the
dream and also your own responses or meanings to symbols
and colors. That said the snake is about transformation
and change it is possible the dead snake is some kind
of change that brings an end to something, that you
may need to let go of something that is or has come
to an end, walk past it or put it in your past.
The other snake that you
carried, could be about something that is coming into
your life, an offer, change or opportunity that while
it is not damaging [because the bite didn't hurt] serves
no purpose for you, which would be why you tossed it
away. Also could mean that you will learn something
that while it is unpleasant [the bite] won't harm you
[bite didn't hurt] about a new situation that is coming
into your life. Causing you to turn away from that choice,
or change, or toss it aside.
The house when you walked
up to it you said it wasn't your home, do you mean in
reality it wasn't your home or both in reality and in
the dream?
Eyemage:
Thanks Nowment
for interpreting the dream. It gives me a lot to think
about. Sorry I wasn't specific about the house. It wasn't
mine in real life or in the dream.
