Dream Analysis of the Week- Walk Away

Dream : A wrangler jeep was covered in mud like it had been through the wringer. A man ressembling my father-in-law was driving it fast through a rainy storm along muddy roads.  He squinted, could not see clearly yet sped up oblivious to danger. Meanwhile, a woman slept in passenger seat beside him and a tall child reclined (out-of-sight) in trunk (boot).  Suddenly, the jeep skidded, went off road into quick sand. Woman and child seemed to sleep through the ordeal. Vehicle sank. From a distance, it appeared nobody escaped, that everyone died.  Yet, from another perspective, all three got out. This was seen looking from the other side of the car.  The woman helped the child. The man sat on a nearby tree stump, shaking his head, worried about the lost car oblivious to woman and child.  The woman took the child in hand and walked away.  The sun emerged from clouds to shine down on them. The mud fell off their clothes and they looked rejuvenated.

Interpretation: The three different people are versions of the dreamer's psyche.  The unconscious driver exhibits unawareness or forgetting the repesent moment. He represents focusing on getting ahead, on the future, the build-up of related stress and anxiety and undesirable consequences.  The passenger echoes sleepwalking through life. Part of you may feel out-of-control or directionless.  It dawns something about life conditions require attention: financial issues, relationships or job scenarios are but examples. The young person represents the inner child.  This is a semi-independent, out of sight but not forgotten aspect of self that subordinates to your conscious mind.  Being aware of its pure love and acceptance within can enrich your life. 

 The occurrence of quick sand draws attention to the inner call for a new kind of stability in your life.  You may not feel like you are on solid ground which echoes feelings of inadequacy and insecurity. The dream is calling for ingenious solutions to tough problems. It points to the potential to get out of anything and also the need to detach from what holds us back or is not validating our sense of truth or reality.

The nature of this dream also echoes the power of lucid dreaming where we can exercise our abilities to rewind and change our responses to dream events as well as waking life events based on emotion and how we choose to feel.

To theme of the power and control rings true. The jeep vehicle dream also symbolizes adventure, willingness to explore. Jeeps are often associated with off-road adventures and the thrill of exploring unknown territories. This dream contains elements such as longing for excitement and new experiences in waking life.

The jeep vehicle and how passengers respond can also echo independence and self-reliance. Just like a jeep is designed for ruggedness and durability, it represents our ability to assert ourselve, be self-reliant or create experience for this to unfold. The dream may be highlighting your desire for freedom and the need to be independent in your decisions and actions.  Ask yourself if you feel trapped, confined. Moving out of victimhod and low self-worth helps us realize we are always in control of how we respond to life, thoughts and feelings.

Dreaming about a jeep veihicle reflects a hidden desire to sink your wheels deeper into life, control, adventure, and independence. It symbolizes personal strength and ability to overcome obstacles, to get unstuck. The dream serves as a reminder to embrace or reclaim power, take charge of life in a whole new way.  Shift vibration from fear to into love.

Get to root of dis-ease

Notice we must each get to the root of our dis-ease (discomfort) if we truly want freedom to be our reality. How deeply can we heal our bodies or the bodies of loved ones when it comes to healing? How can energies outside the body be harnessed to heal? The energy that made the body can heal the body.

The what always comes before the how. The feeling or sense of direction presents itself in conscious awareness before the path that allows it to happen, before even clarity of exactly what is blossomin through us or in our midst. We get cues from body signs and signals, the environment. Opportunities show up. We may act in the moment before mind attempts to talk us out of it.

Trusting our gut is just as important as listening and allowing ourselves to tune into subtle senses. It helps to make deliberate choices, about relationships and situations we engage in. We can empower ourselves by deciding to stay engaged for a period, create boundaries, or an exit plan rather than allow others to create our limits, decide for us, take the upper hand. The ball is always in our court.

Consider dreams are the brain’s way of processing information that’s left over from each day. They are rich with valuable data – experiences, memories, learnings. Theya re valuable tools to work with if we allow this. Paying attention to dreams can provide information that we may not have access to when awake. Before falling asleep, we can turn our thoughts to any unresolved issues or situation. Focus energy on exploring options or resolutions as we fall asleep. This is an exercise in both self-directedness and surrender

5 Tips to Induce Lucid Dreams

Many people ask about Lucid dreaming techniques.  As 5 is a luck ynumner, here are 5 tips tp induce lucidity:

1) Perception

Act as if everything you are expeirencing is a dream.  As you listen and respond to the external world, allow yourself to relax, settle down deep into your body.  Open up, look, listen and hear as if whatever you perceive through your senses and mind, tell yourself its a dream.  Exercise this many times thoughout the day.  Everytime you contract or resist, react, remind yourself this is a dream.  

2) Reaction

Tell yourself that every moment you are creating energetic files like a computer.  You are asked to title the files: urgent, serious, secret, personal, taboos, Many of these are causes of your suffering and pain because its how you see them. Continually remind yourself its a dream.  If you can save a file as a serious dream where you feel threatened, challenged, scared, these files are dream files.  You are bridging information consciously into the night.  Those situations that show up in dreams echo we are not free from it.  Emotion-related or negative thought-related.  if we are not aware in those moment, you are less likely to be awake in dreams that evoke the same emotions.

3) Processing

Take 5 minutes before going to sleep.  Rewind the day's events until you see something is not processed, integrated accepted in peace.  Contemplate on them. Tune into stillness in the body, feel the silence in your speech, feel spaciousness in the heart-mind.  Breathe deeply.  If you still react something strongly, see it as a dream. See what you learned from it.  From a deeper place, process it and hcreate a positive relationship with it. Every moment, we aim to clear ourselves of illusions are we look at things from a deeper place, from a calm place.  Best thing would be to delete the file. Alternatively, rename it.

4) Reflection

Journal or share your dream.  You may experience 'sleep of ignorance'. This implies you recall nothing until you awaken.   Building trust is part of developing confidence and more consistent remembering.

5) Integration

Once you begin lucid dreaming, you can exercise your imagination in new directions.  This takes practice to be able to transform situations, make smoother transitions transitions.  How do you make life decisions? Do you feel forced to make decision because of fear? Because of being hopeful? or hopeless? Why?  The best decisions are made when we are fully aware of the situation.  In the daytime, this is called awareness.  During the night, this is lucid dreaming. If we are aware of things, we can change them. This is about reclaiming power.  The same thing can happen to 10 different people and they can respond differently. Our level of consciousness during daytime helps us have more lucid dreams in the night and vice versa.  

Manage emotions differently

Notice when we acknowledge emotions and feel them in this moment, rather than resist, we do not trap this energy within ourselves. Instead, we clearly tune into vibrations of Higher Being from within the heart. Thus, denser energies no longer need to reside within us. We can integrate and/or let them go layer by layer or in whatever way resonates. As energies surface, we can embrace the wisdom they hold. Higher Self observes everything without judgment, resists nothing, feels no negativity. Negative emotion is a byproduct of a limited perspective not vibrating in alignment with Higher Being. We each have capacity to live in harmony with Spirit, the most expanded version of Self. Live mindfully in a permanent state of awareness. Image what unlimited freedom feels like. Be. Embody it. Let it in.
