(Lory) Perhaps Frank has a dream to share.
(Frank) im too lazy to write my dreams down on paper
(host-merri) well maybe one of these days....
(Frank) i had some good lately, but i cant remember them
(Frank) i remember an old one quite vividly though
(host-merri) lol....that's why we write them down
(host-merri) well tell us about it!
(Frank) i think i shared it a couple years ago
(Lory) Well, I don't remember it. Please tell.....
(Frank) okay, i will start typing
(Frank) please carry on until then
(host-merri) ok Frank
(host-merri) anyone with a dream to share
(host-merri) while Frank is typing
(Lory) I know what Frank means. I've had several vivid dreams too, but forget them by morning.
(Cris) I had one on waking this morning
(MaryAnne) Please share Cris
(Cris) I was on some stairs but the only direction they headed in was up. It led to a lounge with a beautiful view
(Frank) I dreamt I was standing in the kitchen of my house. My wife and son were in the foyer area. The door bell rang and my wife and son opened the door while I started walking to the foyer. Once I got to the foyer I stood behind them and watched them open the door.
(Cris) I was being served some sort of lunch the went upstairs to get something to drink and the people uncorked a new bottle of good wine
(Cris) I wish I'd stayed asleep long enough to enjoy it
(MaryAnne) Nice dream Cris
(ron) something new chris, that is only going upward...you can only go upstairs...sounds like guidance...what do you think?
(Frank) Suddenly a black thing came rushing into the house between my wifes and sons legs. The black thing was not a dog, but it was about the size of a pit bull. it was featureless, but it had four legs.
(Cris) What else happened Frank?
(Frank) the black thing jumped up on me and wrestled its way on my back. I struggled to get it off me, but it was too strong. I keep trying to shake it off me, but it stuck on my ferosiouly.
(09:46) (Frank) my wifh and son could only stand there and watch me trying to get that thing off me. I was very frightened. I knew it was something evil. I was panicing.
(09:46) (host-merri) were you struggling with some issues at that time Frank?
(09:47) (Cris) Some monkey in the form of this creature was on your back
(09:47) (Frank) I couldnt get a hold of the thing. it stuck like glue. it was heavy on my back. then suddenly it got me on the floor.
(09:48) (Frank) I tried to flip over but it hung on like a beast in a death grip
(09:48) (host-merri) your dream Cris looks like you were sharing "spiritual food"
(09:49) (Frank) all my effort was futile, then suddenly i just relaxed and began saying the lord's prayer....our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name....
(09:49) (ron) apparently, you defeated it :)
(09:50) (ron) but, not without a struggle, since you survived :)
(09:50) (Frank) after a few seconds of saying the prayer, it loosed its grip and i woke up
(09:50) (Lory) Golly, no wonder you remember it vividly and for a long time, too, Frank. I just saw part of a movie waiting for another program to come on that had a gooey glob that did the same thing to everybody.
(09:50) (Frank) i was exhausted. it was something dark and evil.
(09:50) (Cris) The Blob?
(09:51) (Cris) You know prayer is the answer Frank
(09:51) (host-merri) but you knew how to defeat it Frank
(09:51) (ron) no, i didn't
(09:51) (ron) i see the person struggling with personl problems in life
(09:52) (ron) and they tend to drag that person down
(09:52) (ron) i see
(09:52) (host-merri) good point ron
(09:52) (Frank) that black thing was evil, i know it.
(09:53) (ron) if it wasn't a defeat, only that person knows!...otherwise the fight goes on and on and on
(09:54) (host-merri) what was going on in your life at the time of the dream Frank
(09:54) (Frank) if i remember correctly, it took place before my spiritual awakening
(09:54) (host-merri) aaahhhh
(09:55) (host-merri) has the dream ever reoccurred?
(09:55) (ron) sorry, i got the two dreams mixed up...my first impression was the correct one
(09:55) (Frank) i've awakened perhaps about three years ago
(09:56) (ron) the adds ons belonged to someone i was whispering to...sorry about all that :)
(09:56) (Richard) So you are awake bodhisattva.
(09:56) (ron) a big mixup on my part
(09:56) (Frank) no, but I had another dark dream. that dream had a black misty cloud in the corner of my bedroom
(09:57) (ron) sorry Frank...my first part was my first impression....defeat is the correct one [at least, for me] the rest was for someone else
(09:58) (host-merri) anything more to this dream Frank
(09:58) (ron) i don't know...i got the people mixed up
(09:58) (Frank) no, thats all.
(09:58) (Frank) thanks for the help
(09:58) (ron) thats what happens when i'm doing two or three things at the same time lol
(09:58) (host-merri) dark clouds usually indicate obstacles
(09:58) (ron) lol
(09:58) (host-merri) naughty ron!!
(09:58) (ron) lol
(09:59) (ron) now, where am i? lol
(09:59) (Lory) Nick would scold whisperers, for sure, were he here.
(09:59) (ron) i know lory lol
(09:59) (host-merri) thankyou for sharing Frank & Cris
(10:00) (host-merri) anyone else with a dream to share
(10:00) (Richard) Pentrable obstacles... requiring fath to penetrate.\
(10:00) (Cris) I was pleased to be there in my dream but puzzled by stairs that would only go up
(10:00) (host-merri) showing your progress Cris
(10:00) (Lory) Stairs going upward is a plus, Cris.
(10:00) (ron) staris that only go up...guidance
(10:01) (Richard) Aaah... starting the phonitics early this evening... where's Rosie?
(10:01) (host-merri) they also indicate your "journey"
(10:01) (Lory) Rosie usually only comes to chat when there are begats, Richard. Isn't that right merri?
(10:01) (Richard) Ido merri... I dream of world peace... now if I can only dream up a way to achive that.
(10:02) (host-merri) LOL
(10:02) (Bill) climb to higher more positive thoughts?
(10:02) (ron) i think i would do better if i went back to Spider Solitaire lol
(10:02) (ron) richard, start with yourlself!
(10:02) (Lory) lol
(10:02) (Richard) That would begain with forgiveness right Bill?
(10:02) (host-merri) your doing fine ron
(10:02) (O-Te) The steps are before you....Are you going to apply?
(10:03) (Bill) a no. of thinks Rich was just trying reason stairs
(10:03) (Richard) To simplistic ron... I want a wammy right off the bat.
(10:04) (Herutata) Keep your eyes on the Prize
(10:04) (Bill) rise to the task before you?
(10:04) (host-merri) do you have a dream for us tonight Richard?
(10:07) (Richard) merri... I have been dreaming extensively of late merri, but it would require a book just for the last 24 to 48 hours. Need to find a place to move very soon and that is interfering with circuts
(10:07) (host-merri) OK Richard but be sure to write them down
(10:07) (host-merri) at least some of them
(10:08) (Richard) Keep note of the general ego spirit wrestle and tempermont, but will do.
(10:08) (MaryAnne) If no one else has a dream to share..I had one which puzzles me somewhat
(22:08:44) (host-merri) your on
(22:08:50) (Richard) Shot Mary-Anne.
(22:09:26) (Cris) Go On MaryAnne
(22:09:26) (MaryAnne) For some background: sometimes, especially if someone is trying to get me into something which may not be to my benefit, I see in my mind's eye dinosaurs fighting over dead meat
(22:09:34) (Richard) Ego is winning a bit but forgiveness is sure to tip the balance.
(22:10:11) (MaryAnne) I had this dream: I dreamed I was walking down the hallway of what looked much like my elementary school toward what would have been the cafeteria...
(22:10:25) (Richard) Sounds like a good check point of intuition MaryAnne.
(22:10:48) (MaryAnne) but it was a supermarket. As I entered people began to scream and hide and I realized a dinosaur had followed me into the supermarket.
(22:11:29) (MaryAnne) I stepped aside and as it entered behind me it bumped into a display case and I realized it could not see us.
(10:11:43) (MaryAnne) The only danger would be if someone got in it's way.
(10:12:05) (MaryAnne) So I let myself out of the door and saw someone I thought of as my father standing by his automobile.
(10:12:32) (MaryAnne) I went over and asked him if he would take me home and he said that he would but he needed me to tell those who were left behind what was happening.
(10:12:57) (MaryAnne) My attention was drawn to the radio in his car....the end
(10:13:30) (Lory) Have you been reading the series of books "Left Behind" lately, MaryAnne.?
(10:13:46) (MaryAnne) No, Lory, are they intersting?
(10:13:49) (ron) well, i believe you had communication with your father...the "radio"
(10:14:03) (host-merri) someone in authority is trying to communicate with you about an issue
(10:14:20) (Lory) Yes, but my reason for asking you is that your dream reminded me of one.
(10:14:36) (MaryAnne) Oh? Would you tell me why?
(10:14:50) (Bill) your higher self is telling to to get down to basics and leave the past behind ?
(10:14:52) (MaryAnne) That could be merri...I had not thought of that
(10:15:11) (MaryAnne) That could very well be Bill..would fit rather nicely
(10:15:38) (Lory) I think it was your words, 'left behind' MaryAnne.
(10:15:47) (host-merri) you are "not seeing it, blind"
(10:15:50) (Herutata) All is Spiritual
(10:15:59) (awc) Sounds like you need to create a dictionary of your specific symbols/images...
(10:16:14) (O-Te) Y^es
(10:16:17) (O-Te) awc
(10:16:22) (MaryAnne) I don't know merri...that could be also
(10:16:23) (O-Te) \Each
(10:16:30) (Herutata) physical is the result
(10:16:55) (Herutata) cause and effect
(10:17:01) (awc) the nouns...associated with the themes...objects....functions, thereof....
(10:17:31) (MaryAnne) I have never done that awc...would be beneficial I am sure
(10:17:59) (awc) car or automobile....means...mobility for me....car was my physical body...etc....
(10:18:15) (host-merri) are you having some issue at the present time you are unsure about MaryAnne
(10:19:13) (awc) I am wondering about what the dinosour meant.....it's functions....
(10:19:22) (MaryAnne) Yes, I am merri
(10:19:32) (Herutata) be your own best friend ,let go of elf
(10:19:37) (ron) something old and no longer needed
(10:19:47) (O-Te) Self as well.
(10:19:48) (MaryAnne) awc, I think it represents a dead issue
(10:19:53) (Bill) blind monster - lower self
(10:19:56) (ron) has become extinct in your life
(10:20:12) (Herutata) wonderful
(10:20:24) (MaryAnne) I believe it means a dead issue which is still "following me around" so to speak
(10:20:44) (host-merri) very good insite
(10:20:53) (O-Te) Elfs are easier to let go of then the selve that brings death.
(10:21:14) (awc) Some subject arising out of a distance....past....maybe childhood....that is seen by others...may cause their reactions....suppermarket....is public...
(10:21:39) (Herutata) spiritual food
(10:21:48) (Herutata) food for the soul
(10:22:03) (host-merri) it also deals with food which can be spiritual or health related
(10:22:22) (Herutata) All is Spiritual
(10:22:25) (awc) father....is safe haven....
(10:22:46) (awc) safe ....retreat.....
(10:23:00) (Lory) We never die either, Herutata. We Are Forever.
(10:23:24) (O-Te) The body dies.
(10:23:25) (awc) exsposure....comes to mind....
(10:23:31) (O-Te) A sin before God.
(10:23:32) (host-merri) father is usually an authority figure, one who can guide
(10:23:42) (O-Te) For sin brings death always.
(10:23:48) (Bill) Fater higher self gives off better vibrations ( radio )
(10:23:50) (host-merri) and the radio would indicate communication
(10:23:51) (O-Te) Death of the flesh/.
(10:24:01) (O-Te) All here know the soul is Eternal.
(10:24:02) (MaryAnne) I did feel the father represented something along the lines of protection I was seeking
(10:24:11) (O-Te) So nyou may try again.
(10:24:49) (host-merri) how did you feel on awakening MaryAnne
(10:25:00) (Herutata) Higher Self or God
(10:25:06) (MaryAnne) I felt comforted for some reason, merri
(10:25:06) (awc) radio....message....strong enough to disconnect from apprehensions.... and attend....
(10:25:38) (MaryAnne) My father was in control from that point is how I felt
(10:25:51) (host-merri) good the dream could also be reassuring
(10:25:52) (ron) helpful guidance
(10:26:03) (ron) protective
(10:26:04) (MaryAnne) Yes, ron, I did feel that
(10:26:13) (ron) a communication
(10:26:16) (Herutata) The best teacher
(10:26:46) (host-merri) thankyou for sharing MaryAnne
(10:27:04) (host-merri) anyone else with a dream to share
(10:27:05) (MaryAnne) Yw, merri...thanks to everyone for the input..it gave me some new perspectives to explore
(10:27:46) (host-merri) if not I have a little article to share with you
(10:27:48) (awc) dinosour...may represent an over emphasis....to past....issue....and fear that others may see it as your do.....father...express need to care for others...and assigning you the task...
(10:28:14) (host-merri) Rather than lumping all importance on analysis or having to figure "out" what a dream might mean, it helps to see dreams as experiences valid on their own. Experiences which can be cultivated organically whose roots delve into the rich depths of the psyche as they stem outward into the light of conscious awareness and begin forming their leaves of thought.
(10:28:51) (host-merri) Truly, they are an art form of the soul for creative self-expression, self-discovery and self-healing, and much benefit and fulfillment comes simply by remembering, writing, tape-recording, sharing, painting, enacting or otherwise birthing them into the physical world.
(10:29:32) (host-merri) It can be greatly worthwhile to harvest the dream fruits of personal insight and practical guidance, yet every dream affects us physiologically, emotionally, psychologically, and/or spiritually, and becomes part of our being, changing us regardless of whether we make any logical waking connections or not.
(10:30:58) (host-merri) Even when we spot such connections, it can be limiting to assume that this was the sole ‘point’ of the dream, and therefore drop further exploration or creative expression; carrying away golden coins, we may miss the priceless and treasured jewel fashioned or concealed within the chest itself.
(10:31:35) (host-merri) So improve your inner green thumb by gardening your dreams organically. Till the soil using dream recall practices to help seedlings break the surface of forgetting in order to reach the light of your attention. Water them with curiosity and fertilize them through natural creative expression and contemplation, yet being careful not to overdo it such that the rest of your life falls out of balance.
(10:32:06) (awc) I find that it take several days...even week to gather a small understanding of my dreams....
(10:32:28) (host-merri) Learn to prune back overgrowth and distinguish weeds from fruits and flowers (and keep in mind that your neighbor may have different tastes). It’s wonderful to share with others the beauty and abundance you find, yet use discretion as to who you invite inside your protective fence — trespassers may unknowingly trample months of careful effort.
(10:32:32) (Herutata) promising
(10:33:07) (host-merri) Dreams often come as series, throughout the night, for a few nights in a row, and/or within some natural cycle of weeks or seasons. They are also intimately interconnected with events in the dreamer's life, and often even with events that are yet to occur (which can make literal interpretation a challenge).
(10:33:45) (host-merri) Edgar Cayce wisely insisted that one should "interpret the dreamer" and not just the dream alone. Trying to understand a single isolated dream without any life context or a look at other dreams can be like trying to understand a weekly show from a single episode — not pointless, but quite often incomplete.
(10:34:21) (host-merri) The dreams that are meant to assist you in waking life, hence which are the most important to contemplate, understand and act upon are recurring dreams, nightmares, and
(10:34:32) (Cris) I like that thought Merri dreams aren't always complete when we wake up
(10:35:09) (host-merri) dreams which you've asked for or incubated. Otherwise, any dream which impacts you strongly or sticks with you clearly— especially the dream you remember just before getting up in the morning— along with dreams or dream fragments which spontaneously come to you later in the day, are the ones that your unconscious is trying to bring to your conscious attention.
(10:36:02) (Bill) L&L Everyone TY Merri
(10:36:22) (host-merri) Dreams which have a powerful positive impact and leave you feeling uplifted, inspired or even completely awestruck can be understood, but better yet they can be integrated and have their beneficial impact magnified if you express them creatively by allowing them to blossom into a poem, painting, story, dance, song, collage, sculpture, or other art form.
(10:37:04) (awc) ummmm....
(10:37:19) (host-merri) interesting thought
(10:37:35) (Lory) That is one reason I no longer share all my dreams with chat, merri. "Trespassers may unknowingly trample months of careful effort." :-)
(10:38:07) (host-merri) that can happen Lory
(10:38:21) (host-merri) but I'm sure not intentionally
(10:38:56) (awc) thants....to all.....
(10:39:18) (host-merri) any question on dreams
(10:40:01) (host-merri) have any of you had a fragment of a dream suddenly come to you during the day
(10:40:27) (MaryAnne) I have often, merri
(10:40:47) (host-merri) I'm always suprised when that happens
(10:41:20) (MaryAnne) When my children were in school and I had to get right into my day many times dreams would come to me as I washed the dishes
(10:41:53) (host-merri) Oh that is a good time to think about your dreams
(10:42:03) (Cris) once in awhile
(10:45:50) (Cris) Ron you have wonderful insight
(10:46:10) (ron) thank you Cris...i appreciate that compliment
(10:47:34) (host-merri) how has your dreamscape been lately WIS
(10:48:36) (WalksInSpirit) Not too good, Merri. I'm in another dry spell. I suspect, cause I haven't been sleeping good. My back has been bothering me, seems to hurt worse at night.
(10:49:32) (host-merri) We'll pray for healing WIS
(10:49:44) (WalksInSpirit) Thanks! I sure do appreciate it!
(10:50:22) (ron) yes WIS...i have been sending things to you...i think of you more than once a day
(Frank) im too lazy to write my dreams down on paper
(host-merri) well maybe one of these days....
(Frank) i had some good lately, but i cant remember them
(Frank) i remember an old one quite vividly though
(host-merri) lol....that's why we write them down
(host-merri) well tell us about it!
(Frank) i think i shared it a couple years ago
(Lory) Well, I don't remember it. Please tell.....
(Frank) okay, i will start typing
(Frank) please carry on until then
(host-merri) ok Frank
(host-merri) anyone with a dream to share
(host-merri) while Frank is typing
(Lory) I know what Frank means. I've had several vivid dreams too, but forget them by morning.
(Cris) I had one on waking this morning

(MaryAnne) Nice dream Cris
(ron) something new chris, that is only going upward...you can only go upstairs...sounds like guidance...what do you think?
(Frank) Suddenly a black thing came rushing into the house between my wifes and sons legs. The black thing was not a dog, but it was about the size of a pit bull. it was featureless, but it had four legs.
(Cris) What else happened Frank?
(Frank) the black thing jumped up on me and wrestled its way on my back. I struggled to get it off me, but it was too strong. I keep trying to shake it off me, but it stuck on my ferosiouly.

(09:46) (host-merri) were you struggling with some issues at that time Frank?
(09:47) (Cris) Some monkey in the form of this creature was on your back
(09:47) (Frank) I couldnt get a hold of the thing. it stuck like glue. it was heavy on my back. then suddenly it got me on the floor.
(09:48) (Frank) I tried to flip over but it hung on like a beast in a death grip
(09:48) (host-merri) your dream Cris looks like you were sharing "spiritual food"
(09:49) (Frank) all my effort was futile, then suddenly i just relaxed and began saying the lord's prayer....our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name....
(09:49) (ron) apparently, you defeated it :)

(09:50) (Frank) after a few seconds of saying the prayer, it loosed its grip and i woke up
(09:50) (Lory) Golly, no wonder you remember it vividly and for a long time, too, Frank. I just saw part of a movie waiting for another program to come on that had a gooey glob that did the same thing to everybody.
(09:50) (Frank) i was exhausted. it was something dark and evil.
(09:50) (Cris) The Blob?

(10:02) (O-Te) The steps are before you....Are you going to apply?
(10:03) (Bill) a no. of thinks Rich was just trying reason stairs
(10:03) (Richard) To simplistic ron... I want a wammy right off the bat.
(10:04) (Herutata) Keep your eyes on the Prize
(10:04) (Bill) rise to the task before you?
(10:04) (host-merri) do you have a dream for us tonight Richard?
(10:07) (Richard) merri... I have been dreaming extensively of late merri, but it would require a book just for the last 24 to 48 hours. Need to find a place to move very soon and that is interfering with circuts
(10:07) (host-merri) OK Richard but be sure to write them down
(10:07) (host-merri) at least some of them
(10:08) (Richard) Keep note of the general ego spirit wrestle and tempermont, but will do.
(10:08) (MaryAnne) If no one else has a dream to share..I had one which puzzles me somewhat
(22:08:44) (host-merri) your on
(22:08:50) (Richard) Shot Mary-Anne.
(22:09:26) (Cris) Go On MaryAnne
(22:09:26) (MaryAnne) For some background: sometimes, especially if someone is trying to get me into something which may not be to my benefit, I see in my mind's eye dinosaurs fighting over dead meat
(22:09:34) (Richard) Ego is winning a bit but forgiveness is sure to tip the balance.
(22:10:11) (MaryAnne) I had this dream: I dreamed I was walking down the hallway of what looked much like my elementary school toward what would have been the cafeteria...
(22:10:25) (Richard) Sounds like a good check point of intuition MaryAnne.
(22:10:48) (MaryAnne) but it was a supermarket. As I entered people began to scream and hide and I realized a dinosaur had followed me into the supermarket.
(22:11:29) (MaryAnne) I stepped aside and as it entered behind me it bumped into a display case and I realized it could not see us.
(10:11:43) (MaryAnne) The only danger would be if someone got in it's way.
(10:12:05) (MaryAnne) So I let myself out of the door and saw someone I thought of as my father standing by his automobile.
(10:12:32) (MaryAnne) I went over and asked him if he would take me home and he said that he would but he needed me to tell those who were left behind what was happening.
(10:12:57) (MaryAnne) My attention was drawn to the radio in his car....the end
(10:13:30) (Lory) Have you been reading the series of books "Left Behind" lately, MaryAnne.?
(10:13:46) (MaryAnne) No, Lory, are they intersting?
(10:13:49) (ron) well, i believe you had communication with your father...the "radio"
(10:14:03) (host-merri) someone in authority is trying to communicate with you about an issue
(10:14:20) (Lory) Yes, but my reason for asking you is that your dream reminded me of one.
(10:14:36) (MaryAnne) Oh? Would you tell me why?
(10:14:50) (Bill) your higher self is telling to to get down to basics and leave the past behind ?
(10:14:52) (MaryAnne) That could be merri...I had not thought of that
(10:15:11) (MaryAnne) That could very well be Bill..would fit rather nicely
(10:15:38) (Lory) I think it was your words, 'left behind' MaryAnne.
(10:15:47) (host-merri) you are "not seeing it, blind"
(10:15:50) (Herutata) All is Spiritual
(10:15:59) (awc) Sounds like you need to create a dictionary of your specific symbols/images...
(10:16:14) (O-Te) Y^es
(10:16:17) (O-Te) awc
(10:16:22) (MaryAnne) I don't know merri...that could be also
(10:16:23) (O-Te) \Each
(10:16:30) (Herutata) physical is the result
(10:16:55) (Herutata) cause and effect
(10:17:01) (awc) the nouns...associated with the themes...objects....functions, thereof....
(10:17:31) (MaryAnne) I have never done that awc...would be beneficial I am sure
(10:17:59) (awc) car or automobile....means...mobility for me....car was my physical body...etc....
(10:18:15) (host-merri) are you having some issue at the present time you are unsure about MaryAnne
(10:19:13) (awc) I am wondering about what the dinosour meant.....it's functions....
(10:19:22) (MaryAnne) Yes, I am merri
(10:19:32) (Herutata) be your own best friend ,let go of elf
(10:19:37) (ron) something old and no longer needed
(10:19:47) (O-Te) Self as well.
(10:19:48) (MaryAnne) awc, I think it represents a dead issue
(10:19:53) (Bill) blind monster - lower self
(10:19:56) (ron) has become extinct in your life
(10:20:12) (Herutata) wonderful
(10:20:24) (MaryAnne) I believe it means a dead issue which is still "following me around" so to speak
(10:20:44) (host-merri) very good insite
(10:20:53) (O-Te) Elfs are easier to let go of then the selve that brings death.
(10:21:14) (awc) Some subject arising out of a distance....past....maybe childhood....that is seen by others...may cause their reactions....suppermarket....is public...
(10:21:39) (Herutata) spiritual food
(10:21:48) (Herutata) food for the soul
(10:22:03) (host-merri) it also deals with food which can be spiritual or health related
(10:22:22) (Herutata) All is Spiritual
(10:22:25) (awc) father....is safe haven....
(10:22:46) (awc) safe ....retreat.....
(10:23:00) (Lory) We never die either, Herutata. We Are Forever.
(10:23:24) (O-Te) The body dies.
(10:23:25) (awc) exsposure....comes to mind....
(10:23:31) (O-Te) A sin before God.
(10:23:32) (host-merri) father is usually an authority figure, one who can guide
(10:23:42) (O-Te) For sin brings death always.
(10:23:48) (Bill) Fater higher self gives off better vibrations ( radio )
(10:23:50) (host-merri) and the radio would indicate communication
(10:23:51) (O-Te) Death of the flesh/.
(10:24:01) (O-Te) All here know the soul is Eternal.
(10:24:02) (MaryAnne) I did feel the father represented something along the lines of protection I was seeking
(10:24:11) (O-Te) So nyou may try again.
(10:24:49) (host-merri) how did you feel on awakening MaryAnne
(10:25:00) (Herutata) Higher Self or God
(10:25:06) (MaryAnne) I felt comforted for some reason, merri
(10:25:06) (awc) radio....message....strong enough to disconnect from apprehensions.... and attend....
(10:25:38) (MaryAnne) My father was in control from that point is how I felt
(10:25:51) (host-merri) good the dream could also be reassuring
(10:25:52) (ron) helpful guidance
(10:26:03) (ron) protective
(10:26:04) (MaryAnne) Yes, ron, I did feel that
(10:26:13) (ron) a communication
(10:26:16) (Herutata) The best teacher
(10:26:46) (host-merri) thankyou for sharing MaryAnne
(10:27:04) (host-merri) anyone else with a dream to share
(10:27:05) (MaryAnne) Yw, merri...thanks to everyone for the input..it gave me some new perspectives to explore
(10:27:46) (host-merri) if not I have a little article to share with you
(10:27:48) (awc) dinosour...may represent an over emphasis....to past....issue....and fear that others may see it as your do.....father...express need to care for others...and assigning you the task...
(10:28:14) (host-merri) Rather than lumping all importance on analysis or having to figure "out" what a dream might mean, it helps to see dreams as experiences valid on their own. Experiences which can be cultivated organically whose roots delve into the rich depths of the psyche as they stem outward into the light of conscious awareness and begin forming their leaves of thought.
(10:28:51) (host-merri) Truly, they are an art form of the soul for creative self-expression, self-discovery and self-healing, and much benefit and fulfillment comes simply by remembering, writing, tape-recording, sharing, painting, enacting or otherwise birthing them into the physical world.
(10:29:32) (host-merri) It can be greatly worthwhile to harvest the dream fruits of personal insight and practical guidance, yet every dream affects us physiologically, emotionally, psychologically, and/or spiritually, and becomes part of our being, changing us regardless of whether we make any logical waking connections or not.
(10:30:58) (host-merri) Even when we spot such connections, it can be limiting to assume that this was the sole ‘point’ of the dream, and therefore drop further exploration or creative expression; carrying away golden coins, we may miss the priceless and treasured jewel fashioned or concealed within the chest itself.
(10:31:35) (host-merri) So improve your inner green thumb by gardening your dreams organically. Till the soil using dream recall practices to help seedlings break the surface of forgetting in order to reach the light of your attention. Water them with curiosity and fertilize them through natural creative expression and contemplation, yet being careful not to overdo it such that the rest of your life falls out of balance.
(10:32:06) (awc) I find that it take several days...even week to gather a small understanding of my dreams....
(10:32:28) (host-merri) Learn to prune back overgrowth and distinguish weeds from fruits and flowers (and keep in mind that your neighbor may have different tastes). It’s wonderful to share with others the beauty and abundance you find, yet use discretion as to who you invite inside your protective fence — trespassers may unknowingly trample months of careful effort.
(10:32:32) (Herutata) promising
(10:33:07) (host-merri) Dreams often come as series, throughout the night, for a few nights in a row, and/or within some natural cycle of weeks or seasons. They are also intimately interconnected with events in the dreamer's life, and often even with events that are yet to occur (which can make literal interpretation a challenge).
(10:33:45) (host-merri) Edgar Cayce wisely insisted that one should "interpret the dreamer" and not just the dream alone. Trying to understand a single isolated dream without any life context or a look at other dreams can be like trying to understand a weekly show from a single episode — not pointless, but quite often incomplete.
(10:34:21) (host-merri) The dreams that are meant to assist you in waking life, hence which are the most important to contemplate, understand and act upon are recurring dreams, nightmares, and
(10:34:32) (Cris) I like that thought Merri dreams aren't always complete when we wake up
(10:35:09) (host-merri) dreams which you've asked for or incubated. Otherwise, any dream which impacts you strongly or sticks with you clearly— especially the dream you remember just before getting up in the morning— along with dreams or dream fragments which spontaneously come to you later in the day, are the ones that your unconscious is trying to bring to your conscious attention.
(10:36:02) (Bill) L&L Everyone TY Merri
(10:36:22) (host-merri) Dreams which have a powerful positive impact and leave you feeling uplifted, inspired or even completely awestruck can be understood, but better yet they can be integrated and have their beneficial impact magnified if you express them creatively by allowing them to blossom into a poem, painting, story, dance, song, collage, sculpture, or other art form.
(10:37:04) (awc) ummmm....
(10:37:19) (host-merri) interesting thought
(10:37:35) (Lory) That is one reason I no longer share all my dreams with chat, merri. "Trespassers may unknowingly trample months of careful effort." :-)
(10:38:07) (host-merri) that can happen Lory
(10:38:21) (host-merri) but I'm sure not intentionally
(10:38:56) (awc) thants....to all.....
(10:39:18) (host-merri) any question on dreams
(10:40:01) (host-merri) have any of you had a fragment of a dream suddenly come to you during the day
(10:40:27) (MaryAnne) I have often, merri
(10:40:47) (host-merri) I'm always suprised when that happens
(10:41:20) (MaryAnne) When my children were in school and I had to get right into my day many times dreams would come to me as I washed the dishes
(10:41:53) (host-merri) Oh that is a good time to think about your dreams
(10:42:03) (Cris) once in awhile
(10:45:50) (Cris) Ron you have wonderful insight
(10:46:10) (ron) thank you Cris...i appreciate that compliment
(10:47:34) (host-merri) how has your dreamscape been lately WIS
(10:48:36) (WalksInSpirit) Not too good, Merri. I'm in another dry spell. I suspect, cause I haven't been sleeping good. My back has been bothering me, seems to hurt worse at night.
(10:49:32) (host-merri) We'll pray for healing WIS
(10:49:44) (WalksInSpirit) Thanks! I sure do appreciate it!
(10:50:22) (ron) yes WIS...i have been sending things to you...i think of you more than once a day
