Dream Chat: 01-19-06
(09:31:33) (host-merri) let's open chat with a little prayer
(09:31:40) (host-merri) Father, awaken us to the newness of life, peace, love, knowledge and understanding…so we may reach our true ideal. May we each, as individuals and as a group, come to know ourselves, so we may be a channel for your will.
(09:31:55) (host-merri) Amen
(09:32:02) (Bill) Amen
(09:32:04) (ron) amen
(09:32:25) (mark) Amen
(09:32:29) (Leon) thanks getting ready for evening class (merri's dream chat) is inspirational
(09:33:14) (Leon) and amen to peace , love and knowledge.
(09:34:00) (host-merri) I was reading thru some dreams today on the Cayce website
(09:34:23) (host-merri) suprising to see how similar dreams can be
(09:34:58) (host-merri) here's one that reminds me of Wanda's dream with the eggs
(09:36:30) (host-merri) ooops I lost that one somewhere!
(09:36:44) (host-merri) here's another one
(09:37:06) (Bill) i want the egg one
(09:37:23) (host-merri) lol thought I had it
(09:37:31) (mark) I'll type one up
(09:37:43) (host-merri) I frequently dream of houses or buildings in which I lived or frequented in the past and I also dream of people from my past. These buildings and people are sometimes mixed up with the present or contain both people currently in my life and people that I used to know, all in the same dream.
(09:38:14) (host-merri) instance, I dream of my current partner in the house that I grew up in or I dreamt of a mall that I frequented as a child, except in the dream I am an adult starting a new job at a store in this mall.
(09:38:57) (host-merri) The people surrounding me I have never met, and they are “showing me the ropes” at the new job. On my way to work, I am walking up a street from my childhood, except this street is physically not near the mall to which I was walking. Past and present places and people morph together in unusual ways. What do frequent dreams of past objects or people mean? Can I not let go of the past?
(09:38:57) (host-merri) The people surrounding me I have never met, and they are “showing me the ropes” at the new job. On my way to work, I am walking up a street from my childhood, except this street is physically not near the mall to which I was walking. Past and present places and people morph together in unusual ways. What do frequent dreams of past objects or people mean? Can I not let go of the past?
(09:39:56) (host-merri) this is how they interpret this dream
(09:40:27) (host-merri) Most often, dreams of past people, places or events are connected to current happenings in the dreamer’s life. Rather than being unable to let go of the past, these things are generally trying to indicate to the dreamer that a similar “pattern” or experience is now being faced in the individual’s daily life.
(09:41:04) (host-merri) Therefore, when you dream about an old friend, ask yourself, “What is different about this friend than all of the other friends I knew?” In other words, there is a reason that your subconscious mind resurrected that particular symbol at this point in your life. If you dream about an old house, then the dream may be suggesting that whatever occurred in your life at that time may be presenting itself again.
(09:41:59) (host-merri) For example, if you most associate the old house with the time when you were in school, then the dream could indicate that you are going through a similar learning experience. Dreaming about an old spouse oftentimes corresponds to a situation with your current spouse that is thematically similar to what you went through previously.
(09:42:34) (host-merri) Edgar Cayce suggested that most often dreams contrast and correlate the events of the day – giving us several different perspectives to evaluate what is occurring in our life right now. –
(09:43:30) (host-merri) ok now anyone have a dream to share
(09:43:52) (Anonymoo) ty merri
(09:44:06) (Anonymoo) I had just such a dream several days ago
(09:44:29) (host-merri) would you like to tell us about it Anon
(09:45:19) (Anonymoo) about someone I once knew who wasnt a good friend because they had had a drug prob @ the time but later when the prob was resolved that person was able to be friends again
(09:46:35) (host-merri) did your dream help you to understand the situation Anon
(09:47:04) (Anonymoo) I was wonderin why I dreamt about that person and you just answered me there is a similar thing going on in my life now perhaps
(09:47:28) (Anonymoo) your quotes cleared up ty merri
(09:48:45) (host-merri) ok here's another one for you to look at only I'll ask for your interpretation first
(09:49:01) (host-merri) so pay attention!! No Whispering!
(09:49:05) (host-merri) LOL
(09:49:30) (host-merri) I dreamt we lived on an African farm. Every day when I opened the door, a huge male lion would come into the house. He would just sit on the floor, in front of the fire, on the sofa-wherever he felt like lying. I was very uncomfortable about the lion but my husband and two children weren't.
(09:49:51) (host-merri) The children would lie all over him and play on his back. The lion never played with them-just lay there. It never got angry. I told my husband I didn't want it to come in the house any more but he was exasperated with me and said it was harmless.
(09:50:18) (host-merri) The next day, when the lion tried to come in, I pushed myself hard up against the door to stop it. But I couldn't-it just pushed its way in without hurting me or growling or anything. I hated the lion being in my house and watched it constantly. I was terrified it would hurt my kids but it never acted as though it would. What does this mean?
(09:51:41) (host-merri) ok, how would you all interpret this dream?
(09:52:27) (Cris) The lion is king of the beasts - the one in charge possibly coming in as a protector
(09:52:40) (Anne) pyour children and husband didn't want the lion in the house at first
(09:52:42) (ron) changed rooms?
(09:53:29) (Anne) at the end you didn't want it in the house
(09:53:34) (host-merri) good point Cris
(09:53:40) (Bill) the woman was harbouring inner fears
(09:53:49) (host-merri) yes
(09:54:02) (Cris) Lions have prides possibly your family was his pride to protect
(09:54:07) (mark) misplaced fears of another
(09:54:42) (Leon) The wife feels as if she doesn't have control of her home would like the living to be more domesticated.
(09:54:58) (Hera) The woman is afraid for her family, however, the family can't see the problem even though its sitting in the middle of their living room (life)
(09:55:11) (ron) fear of the lion of dominating their daily life?
(09:55:30) (ron) gettin out of control?
(09:55:40) (ron) or jealousy?
(09:55:45) (Bill) woman felt she was lacking control
(09:56:00) (host-merri) very good! You are all pretty much on the mark
(09:56:16) (host-merri) here's their interpretation
(09:56:37) (host-merri) Lions are often symbols for personal power or anger. With this in mind, the dream imagery suggests that you have to constantly live with the fear of someone getting angry. It is a fear, however, that the children seem used to and even comfortable with.
(09:56:46) (Anne) the lion in real life has very little to do, just reproduce, the female does it all
(09:56:49) (Leon) Perhaps a relative makes themselves at home there frequently as is actually unwanted.
(09:56:59) (host-merri) The dream may simply indicate that your husband has a problem with anger. Substitute your husband for the lion in the dream and see if the imagery describes what is going on in your household. –
(09:57:46) (Anne) you want help
(09:58:08) (Anne) not a lazy old lion
(09:58:52) (Hera) Lions may appear "lazy" but they aren't. They are deadly.
(09:59:38) (Bill) if it was her dream it would be her problem not her husbands
(09:59:57) (host-merri) I can see a lion as a symbol of power
(10:00:09) (host-merri) but anger?
(10:00:19) (Anne) she may need to talk it over with husband
(10:01:40) (Cris) She may need marital counseling
(10:01:43) (Anne) needs the lion to play less
(10:01:48) (Bill) power but in this case not threatening
(10:02:15) (host-merri) yes Bill seems to be quite docile in this dream
(10:02:58) (host-merri) but the dreamer may see the husband as the power figure
(10:03:14) (host-merri) therefore symbolized by the lion
(10:03:28) (Anne) yes head of the pride
(10:04:03) (Bill) she is possibly a woman who likes to be in control and felt it was threatened by her husband who was very good a hard worker and layed down the law :o)
(10:04:20) (host-merri) lol
(10:04:31) (Anne) animal lover , see life that way, good
(10:04:38) (host-merri) you would interpret it that way Bill!
(10:04:41) (Lory) I didn't see the dream,but from some of your remarks, I might add metaphysically the lion relates to the thiurd chakra or endocrine center; to flee or to fight.
(10:05:51) (host-merri) yes Lory the dream seems to be dealing with issues of anger
(10:06:59) (host-merri) ok anyone with a dream to share
(10:07:15) (Bill) without actually knowing a person you have to be psycho to give any kind of inturp
(10:07:16) (Anne) not enought help. i have to take care of everything
(10:07:38) (Bill) that sounds just like you Anne :o)
(10:07:43) (mark) I have one,... Merri
(10:08:00) (Anne) why Bill
(10:08:04) (host-merri) actually Bill alot of symbols in a dream are universal
(10:08:20) (host-merri) go right ahead mark
(10:08:23) (Bill) Anne just rassing you
(10:08:31) (Anne) ok
(10:08:34) (Bill) yes Merri but with many facets
(10:08:35) (mark) ok it's in two parts
(10:08:57) (mark) Was getting on an amusement park ride and was excited for I knew that it was a fun one, there was a girl there that seemed interested in me anyhow the ride wasn’t that much fun, I got off at the top while it was still going and just watched,
(10:09:06) (mark) After the ride was over I was back down below and that same girl was still following me and I was more interested in finding a tag with the number three on it for some reason ,….the end
(10:10:01) (Lory) I can't imagine a good lookin' guy like you, mark,ignoring a pretty girl. Even in a dream. :0)
(10:10:10) (Bill) more interested in a tag than a Girl Mark i sujest councelling
(10:10:16) (mark) :O)
(10:10:20) (ron) you may be sensing that a certain female likes you, or you hope so...three?...the number of days, months whatever?
(10:10:20) (host-merri) do you have a situation where you are just 'going along for the ride', mark
(10:10:33) (Anonymoo) mark have you seen the movie Notebook?
(10:11:09) (mark) no i haven't Anon
(10:11:24) (Anne) me to
(10:11:27) (mark) i don't think so Merri
(10:12:18) (mark) i had found the tag with a 9 on it but i had put it back
(10:12:37) (WalksInSpirit) A 9 is 3 3's.
(10:12:46) (Anonymoo) well this man tells about how he tried to impress a girl on the ferris wheel by doing something reisky
(10:13:02) (Bill) getting off 1/2 way , maybe the dream is telling you it would be a good idea to go all the way
(10:14:23) (Bill) i left a few blanks for you to fill in Mark
(10:15:27) (host-merri) so what do you feel the dream is telling you mark
(10:15:50) (host-merri) how does it relate to the present
(10:17:09) (Lory) The number three corresponds to the trinity and the girl may represent the female counter part of you. The type of girl and how she is dressed may be significant
(10:18:14) (mark) she was pretty
(10:18:26) (mark) and nice
(10:18:30) (Lory) And you ignored her? I can't believe it.
(10:18:47) (mark) me nether
(10:18:55) (Lory) Teasing you, mark.....lol
(10:20:01) (mark) there has been a girl in other dreams
(10:20:15) (mark) i think it may be the same one
(10:20:18) (LoveInfinity) does your wife know about that
(10:20:26) (LoveInfinity) lol
(10:20:33) (Anne) she was will to take the plunge, he desided not to
(10:20:34) (Bill) Mark when you finally make the step to get over that last hertal you'll be happy with the results 1/2 measures with no follow through just leave you wishing and wondering " what if"
(10:21:18) (host-merri) does the girl remind you of anyone in the present mark
(10:21:29) (Lory) Bill, you old romantic you.
(10:21:56) (Bill) Lory i wasn't refuring to any women this is just a dream with sybols :o)
(10:22:23) (mark) she gave me a hug in one dream and it fealt like heaven, as nothing else matterd
(10:22:28) (Hera) Maybe the woman represents something beautiful in your life that you aren't paying attention to.
(10:22:39) (Bill) dreams are generally about life in general so thats how i try and inturp them
(10:22:49) (LoveInfinity) maybe its just your guide trying to wake U up
(10:23:07) (Hera) So, you tried the "ride" to get excitment, but it didn't work and there is this "girl" (real joy) following you around and you're ingorning it
(10:23:13) (Anne) you have dreamed of her before
(10:23:16) (LoveInfinity) not from sleeping but from the dream entirely
(10:23:36) (host-merri) like Bill suggested, follow thru!
(10:23:50) (Lory) Dreams are not JUST dreams, Bill. Even the symbols are important to what is going on or will go on in life.
(10:24:05) (mark) yes Merri,..and yes Anne
(10:24:32) (Bill) Mark has shared a few of the girl dreams with us
(10:24:46) (Bill) and aslo the snake dreams
(10:25:05) (mark) thanks everyone
(10:25:21) (host-merri) thankyou for sharing mark
(10:25:22) (Anne) you are welcome
(10:26:23) (host-merri) mark remember your subconscious is talking to you so pay attention
(10:27:15) (Bill) pay attention to whats on your mind lately these days make some positive desisions
(10:27:15) (Anne) yes Mark i wake up talking to many people every day
(10:27:20) (host-merri) and most of our dreams do deal with our daily life so try to relate this dream to the present
(10:27:58) (mark) oh yeah i have been wakeing up with a tune
(10:28:19) (mark) going over and over in me mind
(10:28:21) (Anne) oh, tell us
(10:28:33) (host-merri) what might that be
(10:29:11) (LoveInfinity) write it down if there;s words
(10:29:16) (mark) i think it was playing in the back ground of the dream
(10:30:05) (mark) it was like a love song
(10:30:08) (ron) happiness...an additional clue to your dream...:)...Cayce said that all dreams are precognitive
(10:30:29) (Herutata) music alone can bridge the gap between the finite and infinity
(10:30:31) (ron) ok...i might be mistaken with that Cayce idea :)
(10:30:34) (host-merri) not all dreams ron
(10:30:49) (Bill) Cayce said precogs were very rare
(10:31:00) (LoveInfinity) Holy Spirit uses dreams in many ways
(10:31:07) (Anonymoo) lets all name that tune
(10:31:15) (ron) i am hesitant to say "rare"...
(10:31:18) (host-merri) LOL
(10:31:21) (Anne) lol
(10:31:42) (Hera) I can't remember where I read it but I do remember reading that Cayce said everything that happens to us we dream about first
(10:31:43) (host-merri) music is wonderful in dreams
(10:32:01) (Anonymoo) whoever guesses it correctly gets a free ride on the ferris wheel
(10:32:05) (ron) music signifies, inner peace and harmony
(10:32:41) (Bill) yes he said that as well Hera
(10:32:48) (Anonymoo) I used to wake up every day singing those were the days lol
(10:33:07) (host-merri) wonder if the present isn't just a repeat performance then!
(10:33:26) (Anne) all you need is love, love is all you need
(10:33:30) (Anonymoo) thats what you said previously merri
(10:33:31) (LoveInfinity) Hera what Cayce meant was that dreams are an indication that things have already happened thats how we are able to access future happenings, because they have already taken place
(10:34:03) (LoveInfinity) thats what I got from it anyhow
(10:34:05) (Cris) *Those were the days my friends, we thought they's never end. We'd sing and dance forever and a day...*
(10:34:10) (Hera) Thank you :)
(10:34:35) (Anonymoo) how about "ATime for Us " now theres a lovely theme mark hehe
(10:34:43) (host-merri) Oh I like that one Cris!
(10:34:43) (Bill) the is no time all is simutainious
(10:35:09) (Anonymoo) you mean time is not linear right Bill?
(10:35:35) (Bill) maybe if i knew what lineatr was :o)
(10:35:35) (LoveInfinity) its linear because it does not exist
(10:36:09) (Cris) To us on this earth plane
(10:37:16) (Bill) my time has comes Happy dreams to all and L&L
(10:37:29) (Anonymoo) I agree with the precog theory
(10:37:31) (Anne) i will servive as long as i have love
(10:38:02) (Cris) The first time my husband ever saw me he heard a voice say, "your wife."
(10:38:03) (LoveInfinity) Course in Miracles explains all that stuff
(10:38:13) (ron) sequencal experience
(10:38:21) (Cris) I didn't recognize him quite so easily
(10:38:29) (host-merri) koooool Cris
(10:38:42) (host-merri) all what stuff Love
(10:38:42) (Cris) I was engaged to someone else
(10:39:52) (ron) i was told about the birth of my daughter in a dream and who the baby's mother was to be
(10:39:55) (LoveInfinity) the lnear time thing and more, merri
(10:40:19) (Cris) It is very interesting to hear about how people met and married
(10:40:23) (host-merri) well linear is measurement
(10:40:40) (Anonymoo) before it happened ron?
(10:40:40) (Cris) I agree Ron significant events are often forseen
(10:40:45) (LoveInfinity) I know
(10:40:50) (host-merri) either measuring time or lines, etc
(10:41:04) (LoveInfinity) which dont exist right
(10:41:23) (host-merri) well it exists in this dimension
(10:41:39) (LoveInfinity) we only think it does, lol
(10:41:44) (ron) yes...i can't quite remember how many months before...but her mother may have just arrived from California when the dream happened
(10:42:26) (host-merri) goodness
(10:42:28) (Anne) my dreams have saved a life, and prepared me for meany bad times
(10:42:44) (host-merri) WoW

(10:43:04) (Anne) so you here pay attention to your dreams
(10:43:06) (Cris) We all have these experiences but sometimes I think our subconcious blocks them out
(10:43:22) (host-merri) very true Cris
(10:43:25) (LoveInfinity) lol, sorry merri my head has been in the Course and in Quatum physics
(10:43:59) (LoveInfinity) I hope someday all will read the COurse as it is the words of Jesus

(10:45:19) (mark) AICM
(10:45:30) (mark) ACIM
(10:45:33) (LoveInfinity) ACIM
(10:45:37) (LoveInfinity) yep
(10:46:08) (LoveInfinity) been reading it merri, but i have not been practicing it as of yet
(10:46:17) (LoveInfinity) its really hard to get going on it
(10:46:40) (host-merri) the principles are good
(10:46:42) (LoveInfinity) I didnt get the concepts first but the more I read the more it makes sense
(10:46:52) (Anne) think and pray about the chat if you deside to attend
(10:47:02) (mark) wich did you get, the student or teachers?
(10:47:17) (LoveInfinity) and I understand more of it and understand more of why the Bible makes no sense to me. LOL
(10:47:29) (host-merri) LOL
(10:47:34) (Anonymoo) lol
(10:47:41) (LoveInfinity) hopefully one day this site will teach the Course
(10:47:57) (Cris) Have you thought about doingit Love?
(10:48:02) (LoveInfinity) since they do recomend reading it and sell it
(10:48:24) (host-merri) the Course doesn't say anything Cayce hasn't told us
(10:48:32) (Anonymoo) hold that thought
(10:48:33) (LoveInfinity) my schedule wont allow at this time , Spirit has me doing something else
(10:49:07) (host-merri) Love, the Course has become a commercial endeavor and that leaves me with alot of doubts
(10:49:23) (LoveInfinity) true, but alot of people dont listen and many avenues of the info are needed
(10:50:23) (LoveInfinity) y this is true when looking for people or groups you have to be careful just like any other religion does, People often misinterpret for their own reasons
(10:50:32) (Cris) People don't like to hear truth
(10:50:34) (host-merri) yes avenues of info are important
(10:50:42) (mark) it takes money to print the books and to run the ACIM center
(10:50:50) (Cris) They twist it totheir advantage
(10:51:11) (LoveInfinity) The EGO will do anything to keep you here, lol
(10:51:32) (LoveInfinity) I think doing it on your own is enough for some
(10:51:40) (LoveInfinity) thats what I prefer
(10:52:00) (host-merri) that's the way it should be
(10:52:03) (LoveInfinity) I just read and listen and the answer usually comes
(10:52:06) (host-merri) in my opinion
(10:52:11) (LoveInfinity) agree
(10:52:35) (Cris) I took that course at my church with a retired minister it was wonderful
(10:52:40) (LoveInfinity) forgiving at the work place is my biggest challenge at the moment
(10:52:55) (LoveInfinity) I didnt realize how many folks actuall iritated me, LOL
(10:53:07) (host-merri) lol
(10:53:20) (LoveInfinity) if they say ignorance is bliss dont beleive them
(10:54:12) (host-merri) so do you have a dream for us tonight Love?
(10:54:41) (LoveInfinity) not really but I have a question
(10:54:48) (LoveInfinity) about dreams
(10:54:49) (host-merri) sure
(10:54:54) (LoveInfinity) actually OBE
(10:54:56) (host-merri) ask away
(10:55:00) (LoveInfinity) otay
(10:55:06) (LoveInfinity) panky
(10:55:20) (mark) lol
(10:55:35) (WalksInSpirit) LOL
(10:55:52) (Anne) hello
(10:56:02) (mark) hi
(10:56:13) (Anne) panky
(10:56:16) (LoveInfinity) MY question is if our bodies are just symbols and not who we really are then why in my OBE when I see others are they in the form of a body and go out of their way to make sure I know they are real ?
(10:56:40) (LoveInfinity) I know they are so why the effort ?
(10:57:20) (Anne) well you have a better view then me
(10:57:42) (mark) maybe a confirmation for them self?
(10:58:27) (host-merri) are bodies are vehicles first and symbols second
(10:58:39) (host-merri) in my understanding
(10:58:59) (Anne) very real to me
(10:59:09) (LoveInfinity) but when I am out of body am I not out of the vehicle
(10:59:42) (mark) we will always have a body

(11:01:23) (Anne) ask those who are helping you

(11:02:33) (LoveInfinity) AHHHH no, I cant wait that long

(09:33:14) (Leon) and amen to peace , love and knowledge.
(09:34:00) (host-merri) I was reading thru some dreams today on the Cayce website
(09:34:23) (host-merri) suprising to see how similar dreams can be
(09:34:58) (host-merri) here's one that reminds me of Wanda's dream with the eggs
(09:36:30) (host-merri) ooops I lost that one somewhere!
(09:36:44) (host-merri) here's another one
(09:37:06) (Bill) i want the egg one
(09:37:23) (host-merri) lol thought I had it
(09:37:31) (mark) I'll type one up
(09:37:43) (host-merri) I frequently dream of houses or buildings in which I lived or frequented in the past and I also dream of people from my past. These buildings and people are sometimes mixed up with the present or contain both people currently in my life and people that I used to know, all in the same dream.
(09:38:14) (host-merri) instance, I dream of my current partner in the house that I grew up in or I dreamt of a mall that I frequented as a child, except in the dream I am an adult starting a new job at a store in this mall.
(09:38:57) (host-merri) The people surrounding me I have never met, and they are “showing me the ropes” at the new job. On my way to work, I am walking up a street from my childhood, except this street is physically not near the mall to which I was walking. Past and present places and people morph together in unusual ways. What do frequent dreams of past objects or people mean? Can I not let go of the past?
(09:38:57) (host-merri) The people surrounding me I have never met, and they are “showing me the ropes” at the new job. On my way to work, I am walking up a street from my childhood, except this street is physically not near the mall to which I was walking. Past and present places and people morph together in unusual ways. What do frequent dreams of past objects or people mean? Can I not let go of the past?
(09:39:56) (host-merri) this is how they interpret this dream
(09:40:27) (host-merri) Most often, dreams of past people, places or events are connected to current happenings in the dreamer’s life. Rather than being unable to let go of the past, these things are generally trying to indicate to the dreamer that a similar “pattern” or experience is now being faced in the individual’s daily life.
(09:41:04) (host-merri) Therefore, when you dream about an old friend, ask yourself, “What is different about this friend than all of the other friends I knew?” In other words, there is a reason that your subconscious mind resurrected that particular symbol at this point in your life. If you dream about an old house, then the dream may be suggesting that whatever occurred in your life at that time may be presenting itself again.
(09:41:59) (host-merri) For example, if you most associate the old house with the time when you were in school, then the dream could indicate that you are going through a similar learning experience. Dreaming about an old spouse oftentimes corresponds to a situation with your current spouse that is thematically similar to what you went through previously.
(09:42:34) (host-merri) Edgar Cayce suggested that most often dreams contrast and correlate the events of the day – giving us several different perspectives to evaluate what is occurring in our life right now. –
(09:43:30) (host-merri) ok now anyone have a dream to share
(09:43:52) (Anonymoo) ty merri
(09:44:06) (Anonymoo) I had just such a dream several days ago
(09:44:29) (host-merri) would you like to tell us about it Anon
(09:45:19) (Anonymoo) about someone I once knew who wasnt a good friend because they had had a drug prob @ the time but later when the prob was resolved that person was able to be friends again
(09:46:35) (host-merri) did your dream help you to understand the situation Anon
(09:47:04) (Anonymoo) I was wonderin why I dreamt about that person and you just answered me there is a similar thing going on in my life now perhaps
(09:47:28) (Anonymoo) your quotes cleared up ty merri
(09:48:45) (host-merri) ok here's another one for you to look at only I'll ask for your interpretation first
(09:49:01) (host-merri) so pay attention!! No Whispering!
(09:49:05) (host-merri) LOL
(09:49:30) (host-merri) I dreamt we lived on an African farm. Every day when I opened the door, a huge male lion would come into the house. He would just sit on the floor, in front of the fire, on the sofa-wherever he felt like lying. I was very uncomfortable about the lion but my husband and two children weren't.
(09:49:51) (host-merri) The children would lie all over him and play on his back. The lion never played with them-just lay there. It never got angry. I told my husband I didn't want it to come in the house any more but he was exasperated with me and said it was harmless.
(09:50:18) (host-merri) The next day, when the lion tried to come in, I pushed myself hard up against the door to stop it. But I couldn't-it just pushed its way in without hurting me or growling or anything. I hated the lion being in my house and watched it constantly. I was terrified it would hurt my kids but it never acted as though it would. What does this mean?
(09:51:41) (host-merri) ok, how would you all interpret this dream?
(09:52:27) (Cris) The lion is king of the beasts - the one in charge possibly coming in as a protector
(09:52:40) (Anne) pyour children and husband didn't want the lion in the house at first
(09:52:42) (ron) changed rooms?
(09:53:29) (Anne) at the end you didn't want it in the house
(09:53:34) (host-merri) good point Cris
(09:53:40) (Bill) the woman was harbouring inner fears
(09:53:49) (host-merri) yes
(09:54:02) (Cris) Lions have prides possibly your family was his pride to protect
(09:54:07) (mark) misplaced fears of another
(09:54:42) (Leon) The wife feels as if she doesn't have control of her home would like the living to be more domesticated.
(09:54:58) (Hera) The woman is afraid for her family, however, the family can't see the problem even though its sitting in the middle of their living room (life)
(09:55:11) (ron) fear of the lion of dominating their daily life?
(09:55:30) (ron) gettin out of control?
(09:55:40) (ron) or jealousy?
(09:55:45) (Bill) woman felt she was lacking control
(09:56:00) (host-merri) very good! You are all pretty much on the mark
(09:56:16) (host-merri) here's their interpretation
(09:56:37) (host-merri) Lions are often symbols for personal power or anger. With this in mind, the dream imagery suggests that you have to constantly live with the fear of someone getting angry. It is a fear, however, that the children seem used to and even comfortable with.
(09:56:46) (Anne) the lion in real life has very little to do, just reproduce, the female does it all
(09:56:49) (Leon) Perhaps a relative makes themselves at home there frequently as is actually unwanted.
(09:56:59) (host-merri) The dream may simply indicate that your husband has a problem with anger. Substitute your husband for the lion in the dream and see if the imagery describes what is going on in your household. –
(09:57:46) (Anne) you want help
(09:58:08) (Anne) not a lazy old lion
(09:58:52) (Hera) Lions may appear "lazy" but they aren't. They are deadly.
(09:59:38) (Bill) if it was her dream it would be her problem not her husbands
(09:59:57) (host-merri) I can see a lion as a symbol of power
(10:00:09) (host-merri) but anger?
(10:00:19) (Anne) she may need to talk it over with husband
(10:01:40) (Cris) She may need marital counseling
(10:01:43) (Anne) needs the lion to play less
(10:01:48) (Bill) power but in this case not threatening
(10:02:15) (host-merri) yes Bill seems to be quite docile in this dream
(10:02:58) (host-merri) but the dreamer may see the husband as the power figure
(10:03:14) (host-merri) therefore symbolized by the lion
(10:03:28) (Anne) yes head of the pride
(10:04:03) (Bill) she is possibly a woman who likes to be in control and felt it was threatened by her husband who was very good a hard worker and layed down the law :o)
(10:04:20) (host-merri) lol
(10:04:31) (Anne) animal lover , see life that way, good
(10:04:38) (host-merri) you would interpret it that way Bill!
(10:04:41) (Lory) I didn't see the dream,but from some of your remarks, I might add metaphysically the lion relates to the thiurd chakra or endocrine center; to flee or to fight.
(10:05:51) (host-merri) yes Lory the dream seems to be dealing with issues of anger
(10:06:59) (host-merri) ok anyone with a dream to share
(10:07:15) (Bill) without actually knowing a person you have to be psycho to give any kind of inturp
(10:07:16) (Anne) not enought help. i have to take care of everything
(10:07:38) (Bill) that sounds just like you Anne :o)
(10:07:43) (mark) I have one,... Merri
(10:08:00) (Anne) why Bill
(10:08:04) (host-merri) actually Bill alot of symbols in a dream are universal
(10:08:20) (host-merri) go right ahead mark
(10:08:23) (Bill) Anne just rassing you
(10:08:31) (Anne) ok
(10:08:34) (Bill) yes Merri but with many facets
(10:08:35) (mark) ok it's in two parts
(10:08:57) (mark) Was getting on an amusement park ride and was excited for I knew that it was a fun one, there was a girl there that seemed interested in me anyhow the ride wasn’t that much fun, I got off at the top while it was still going and just watched,
(10:09:06) (mark) After the ride was over I was back down below and that same girl was still following me and I was more interested in finding a tag with the number three on it for some reason ,….the end
(10:10:01) (Lory) I can't imagine a good lookin' guy like you, mark,ignoring a pretty girl. Even in a dream. :0)
(10:10:10) (Bill) more interested in a tag than a Girl Mark i sujest councelling
(10:10:16) (mark) :O)
(10:10:20) (ron) you may be sensing that a certain female likes you, or you hope so...three?...the number of days, months whatever?
(10:10:20) (host-merri) do you have a situation where you are just 'going along for the ride', mark
(10:10:33) (Anonymoo) mark have you seen the movie Notebook?
(10:11:09) (mark) no i haven't Anon
(10:11:24) (Anne) me to
(10:11:27) (mark) i don't think so Merri
(10:12:18) (mark) i had found the tag with a 9 on it but i had put it back
(10:12:37) (WalksInSpirit) A 9 is 3 3's.
(10:12:46) (Anonymoo) well this man tells about how he tried to impress a girl on the ferris wheel by doing something reisky
(10:13:02) (Bill) getting off 1/2 way , maybe the dream is telling you it would be a good idea to go all the way
(10:14:23) (Bill) i left a few blanks for you to fill in Mark
(10:15:27) (host-merri) so what do you feel the dream is telling you mark
(10:15:50) (host-merri) how does it relate to the present
(10:17:09) (Lory) The number three corresponds to the trinity and the girl may represent the female counter part of you. The type of girl and how she is dressed may be significant
(10:18:14) (mark) she was pretty
(10:18:26) (mark) and nice
(10:18:30) (Lory) And you ignored her? I can't believe it.
(10:18:47) (mark) me nether
(10:18:55) (Lory) Teasing you, mark.....lol
(10:20:01) (mark) there has been a girl in other dreams
(10:20:15) (mark) i think it may be the same one
(10:20:18) (LoveInfinity) does your wife know about that
(10:20:26) (LoveInfinity) lol
(10:20:33) (Anne) she was will to take the plunge, he desided not to
(10:20:34) (Bill) Mark when you finally make the step to get over that last hertal you'll be happy with the results 1/2 measures with no follow through just leave you wishing and wondering " what if"
(10:21:18) (host-merri) does the girl remind you of anyone in the present mark
(10:21:29) (Lory) Bill, you old romantic you.
(10:21:56) (Bill) Lory i wasn't refuring to any women this is just a dream with sybols :o)
(10:22:23) (mark) she gave me a hug in one dream and it fealt like heaven, as nothing else matterd
(10:22:28) (Hera) Maybe the woman represents something beautiful in your life that you aren't paying attention to.
(10:22:39) (Bill) dreams are generally about life in general so thats how i try and inturp them
(10:22:49) (LoveInfinity) maybe its just your guide trying to wake U up
(10:23:07) (Hera) So, you tried the "ride" to get excitment, but it didn't work and there is this "girl" (real joy) following you around and you're ingorning it
(10:23:13) (Anne) you have dreamed of her before
(10:23:16) (LoveInfinity) not from sleeping but from the dream entirely
(10:23:36) (host-merri) like Bill suggested, follow thru!
(10:23:50) (Lory) Dreams are not JUST dreams, Bill. Even the symbols are important to what is going on or will go on in life.
(10:24:05) (mark) yes Merri,..and yes Anne
(10:24:32) (Bill) Mark has shared a few of the girl dreams with us
(10:24:46) (Bill) and aslo the snake dreams
(10:25:05) (mark) thanks everyone
(10:25:21) (host-merri) thankyou for sharing mark
(10:25:22) (Anne) you are welcome
(10:26:23) (host-merri) mark remember your subconscious is talking to you so pay attention
(10:27:15) (Bill) pay attention to whats on your mind lately these days make some positive desisions
(10:27:15) (Anne) yes Mark i wake up talking to many people every day
(10:27:20) (host-merri) and most of our dreams do deal with our daily life so try to relate this dream to the present
(10:27:58) (mark) oh yeah i have been wakeing up with a tune
(10:28:19) (mark) going over and over in me mind
(10:28:21) (Anne) oh, tell us
(10:28:33) (host-merri) what might that be
(10:29:11) (LoveInfinity) write it down if there;s words
(10:29:16) (mark) i think it was playing in the back ground of the dream
(10:30:05) (mark) it was like a love song
(10:30:08) (ron) happiness...an additional clue to your dream...:)...Cayce said that all dreams are precognitive
(10:30:29) (Herutata) music alone can bridge the gap between the finite and infinity
(10:30:31) (ron) ok...i might be mistaken with that Cayce idea :)
(10:30:34) (host-merri) not all dreams ron
(10:30:49) (Bill) Cayce said precogs were very rare
(10:31:00) (LoveInfinity) Holy Spirit uses dreams in many ways
(10:31:07) (Anonymoo) lets all name that tune
(10:31:15) (ron) i am hesitant to say "rare"...
(10:31:18) (host-merri) LOL
(10:31:21) (Anne) lol
(10:31:42) (Hera) I can't remember where I read it but I do remember reading that Cayce said everything that happens to us we dream about first
(10:31:43) (host-merri) music is wonderful in dreams
(10:32:01) (Anonymoo) whoever guesses it correctly gets a free ride on the ferris wheel
(10:32:05) (ron) music signifies, inner peace and harmony
(10:32:41) (Bill) yes he said that as well Hera
(10:32:48) (Anonymoo) I used to wake up every day singing those were the days lol
(10:33:07) (host-merri) wonder if the present isn't just a repeat performance then!
(10:33:26) (Anne) all you need is love, love is all you need
(10:33:30) (Anonymoo) thats what you said previously merri
(10:33:31) (LoveInfinity) Hera what Cayce meant was that dreams are an indication that things have already happened thats how we are able to access future happenings, because they have already taken place
(10:34:03) (LoveInfinity) thats what I got from it anyhow
(10:34:05) (Cris) *Those were the days my friends, we thought they's never end. We'd sing and dance forever and a day...*
(10:34:10) (Hera) Thank you :)
(10:34:35) (Anonymoo) how about "ATime for Us " now theres a lovely theme mark hehe
(10:34:43) (host-merri) Oh I like that one Cris!
(10:34:43) (Bill) the is no time all is simutainious
(10:35:09) (Anonymoo) you mean time is not linear right Bill?
(10:35:35) (Bill) maybe if i knew what lineatr was :o)
(10:35:35) (LoveInfinity) its linear because it does not exist
(10:36:09) (Cris) To us on this earth plane
(10:37:16) (Bill) my time has comes Happy dreams to all and L&L
(10:37:29) (Anonymoo) I agree with the precog theory
(10:37:31) (Anne) i will servive as long as i have love
(10:38:02) (Cris) The first time my husband ever saw me he heard a voice say, "your wife."
(10:38:03) (LoveInfinity) Course in Miracles explains all that stuff
(10:38:13) (ron) sequencal experience
(10:38:21) (Cris) I didn't recognize him quite so easily
(10:38:29) (host-merri) koooool Cris
(10:38:42) (host-merri) all what stuff Love
(10:38:42) (Cris) I was engaged to someone else
(10:39:52) (ron) i was told about the birth of my daughter in a dream and who the baby's mother was to be
(10:39:55) (LoveInfinity) the lnear time thing and more, merri
(10:40:19) (Cris) It is very interesting to hear about how people met and married
(10:40:23) (host-merri) well linear is measurement
(10:40:40) (Anonymoo) before it happened ron?
(10:40:40) (Cris) I agree Ron significant events are often forseen
(10:40:45) (LoveInfinity) I know
(10:40:50) (host-merri) either measuring time or lines, etc
(10:41:04) (LoveInfinity) which dont exist right
(10:41:23) (host-merri) well it exists in this dimension
(10:41:39) (LoveInfinity) we only think it does, lol
(10:41:44) (ron) yes...i can't quite remember how many months before...but her mother may have just arrived from California when the dream happened
(10:42:26) (host-merri) goodness
(10:42:28) (Anne) my dreams have saved a life, and prepared me for meany bad times
(10:42:44) (host-merri) WoW
(10:42:49) (ron) what a peaceful chat...thank you Lord for such ap privilage
(10:42:55) (host-merri) care to share with us Anne
(10:43:04) (Anne) so you here pay attention to your dreams
(10:43:06) (Cris) We all have these experiences but sometimes I think our subconcious blocks them out
(10:43:22) (host-merri) very true Cris
(10:43:25) (LoveInfinity) lol, sorry merri my head has been in the Course and in Quatum physics
(10:43:59) (LoveInfinity) I hope someday all will read the COurse as it is the words of Jesus
(10:44:06) (host-merri) that's OK Love
(10:44:28) (host-merri) hmmmm
(10:44:32) (mark) the AIM LoveInfinity?
(10:44:38) (host-merri) I have read the course
(10:45:09) (Anne) write your dreams down. be faithfull about this.
(10:45:19) (mark) AICM
(10:45:30) (mark) ACIM
(10:45:33) (LoveInfinity) ACIM
(10:45:37) (LoveInfinity) yep
(10:46:08) (LoveInfinity) been reading it merri, but i have not been practicing it as of yet
(10:46:17) (LoveInfinity) its really hard to get going on it
(10:46:40) (host-merri) the principles are good
(10:46:42) (LoveInfinity) I didnt get the concepts first but the more I read the more it makes sense
(10:46:52) (Anne) think and pray about the chat if you deside to attend
(10:47:02) (mark) wich did you get, the student or teachers?
(10:47:17) (LoveInfinity) and I understand more of it and understand more of why the Bible makes no sense to me. LOL
(10:47:29) (host-merri) LOL
(10:47:34) (Anonymoo) lol
(10:47:41) (LoveInfinity) hopefully one day this site will teach the Course
(10:47:57) (Cris) Have you thought about doingit Love?
(10:48:02) (LoveInfinity) since they do recomend reading it and sell it
(10:48:24) (host-merri) the Course doesn't say anything Cayce hasn't told us
(10:48:32) (Anonymoo) hold that thought
(10:48:33) (LoveInfinity) my schedule wont allow at this time , Spirit has me doing something else
(10:49:07) (host-merri) Love, the Course has become a commercial endeavor and that leaves me with alot of doubts
(10:49:23) (LoveInfinity) true, but alot of people dont listen and many avenues of the info are needed
(10:50:23) (LoveInfinity) y this is true when looking for people or groups you have to be careful just like any other religion does, People often misinterpret for their own reasons
(10:50:32) (Cris) People don't like to hear truth
(10:50:34) (host-merri) yes avenues of info are important
(10:50:42) (mark) it takes money to print the books and to run the ACIM center
(10:50:50) (Cris) They twist it totheir advantage
(10:51:11) (LoveInfinity) The EGO will do anything to keep you here, lol
(10:51:32) (LoveInfinity) I think doing it on your own is enough for some
(10:51:40) (LoveInfinity) thats what I prefer
(10:52:00) (host-merri) that's the way it should be
(10:52:03) (LoveInfinity) I just read and listen and the answer usually comes
(10:52:06) (host-merri) in my opinion
(10:52:11) (LoveInfinity) agree
(10:52:35) (Cris) I took that course at my church with a retired minister it was wonderful
(10:52:40) (LoveInfinity) forgiving at the work place is my biggest challenge at the moment
(10:52:55) (LoveInfinity) I didnt realize how many folks actuall iritated me, LOL
(10:53:07) (host-merri) lol
(10:53:20) (LoveInfinity) if they say ignorance is bliss dont beleive them
(10:54:12) (host-merri) so do you have a dream for us tonight Love?
(10:54:41) (LoveInfinity) not really but I have a question
(10:54:48) (LoveInfinity) about dreams
(10:54:49) (host-merri) sure
(10:54:54) (LoveInfinity) actually OBE
(10:54:56) (host-merri) ask away
(10:55:00) (LoveInfinity) otay
(10:55:06) (LoveInfinity) panky
(10:55:20) (mark) lol
(10:55:35) (WalksInSpirit) LOL
(10:55:52) (Anne) hello
(10:56:02) (mark) hi
(10:56:13) (Anne) panky
(10:56:16) (LoveInfinity) MY question is if our bodies are just symbols and not who we really are then why in my OBE when I see others are they in the form of a body and go out of their way to make sure I know they are real ?
(10:56:40) (LoveInfinity) I know they are so why the effort ?
(10:57:20) (Anne) well you have a better view then me
(10:57:42) (mark) maybe a confirmation for them self?
(10:58:27) (host-merri) are bodies are vehicles first and symbols second
(10:58:39) (host-merri) in my understanding
(10:58:59) (Anne) very real to me
(10:59:09) (LoveInfinity) but when I am out of body am I not out of the vehicle
(10:59:42) (mark) we will always have a body
(10:59:42) (host-merri) yes but what you are seeing is also out of the vehicle
(10:59:58) (Anne) you are still connected, the silver cord and all
(11:00:02) (host-merri) you are seeing what you expect to see
(11:00:13) (LoveInfinity) yes Anne
(11:00:26) (host-merri) that is why they appear to you in that form
(11:00:27) (LoveInfinity) yes merri
(11:00:39) (LoveInfinity) okay so how do I get past that
(11:00:45) (LoveInfinity) thats what I am trying to see
(11:00:56) (LoveInfinity) thats where I get stuck
(11:01:05) (mark) it's just a finer one when we are in the ethers
(11:01:14) (LoveInfinity) and we end up just flying around and stuff
(11:01:23) (Anne) ask those who are helping you
(11:01:28) (LoveInfinity) or do I have to wait merri
(11:01:54) (host-merri) when you can accept it it will change for you
(11:02:16) (host-merri) that maynot happen in this lifetime
(11:02:33) (LoveInfinity) AHHHH no, I cant wait that long
(11:02:54) (host-merri) then think "out of the box"
(11:03:12) (mark) thanks Merri and All for dream chat
(11:03:23) (Anne) love your silver cord has a number on it, when it is time to go it will be cut
(11:03:23) (LoveInfinity) thats why I started reading ACIM , thought it would help
(11:03:26) (host-merri) you have to change your way of thinking first
(11:03:33) (host-merri) Blessings mark
