A dream I had when I was 5
Dec 28^th, 2005 at 11:53am

I was alone in my parents bedroom. The door was closed. The whole
room was filled with this very bright white light that was soft at
the same time if that makes sense. I had a floaty feeling but I can't
say whether my feet were touching the floor or not.
I was by the dresser where there was a mirror but I didn't want to
look at it, instead I walked/floated/flew towards the warbrobe.
It was one of these warbrobes with a mirror on the inside of the door
and I stood in front of it looking at my reflection.
Here comes the good part...
There in the mirror looking back at me wasn't my own reflection.
I saw this very beautiful girl with very long hair so blond it was nearly
white. Her skin of the fairest complexion I have ever seen. She was
all dressed in white and I didn't look at her feet but I don't think
they were touching the floor. She was inside of this light or maybe
she was part of it and I could't say how old she was. She could
have been any age from 12-13 to 17 or maybe a bit older. I just
couldn't say....
I was just staring at her and her staring back at me, no words, no
face expression on her part either. I remember asking myself who is
this? but I got no answer just the staring and then the dream ends.
I though for a while it was a guide or an angel but why no message and no face
expression to show me love for example?
Maybe I was staring at myself in spirit? That would explain the blank
expression on the face mirroring my feeling of shock at seeing someone
else in my reflection. I don't know.
On the other hand I wonder if it is just a wish fulfillment dream.
I was quite a sad child. I had no friends and I was picked on for
being slighly overweight. The military style haircut my mother
inflicted on me and having to wear glasses at such an early age didn't
make me very popular either.
Then again I've had wish fulfillment dreams before and I forget about
them as soon as I wake up as with most of my dreams. But this dream has
stuck with me all these years. I am now 31 and I remember it as
vividly as when I dreamed it as a 5 year old girl.
I have another dream about mirrors that I will also share with you later.
I have a few dreams about different things I want to share in fact. I am just overjoyed that someone had the idea to start this dream forum and I am going to have the opportunity to share.
Thank you so much.

Wow SunRiseChao Shocked

Thats a very beautiful dream/experience. As far as wish fulfillment, who knows, but it seems to follow some universal mystical symbols, like the White Light.

Could be she was an aspect of your Total Self? Or representational of the real you, as you don't appear to be (then), but really are, extremely beautiful and innocent within?

Rosalind McKnight had a somewhat similar experience when she was younger, and saw this Radiant and very beautiful lady appear in her bedroom, and she puzzled over it for it for quite awhile, and thought that maybe that was her Soul self.

Much, much, much later she learned that Radiant Lady was very much connected to her, though not technically of her Soul self...But that Radiant Lady was an Elder, or Master Guide, a spiritually completed Soul who was on Rosie's Council, and in a sense was close to her (knowing her inside and out).

Her book is called Soul Journeys, and its a very good book in a lot of respects.

Thank you so much for your post PhoenixRa,
It is very interesting to read other people's interpretation of a dream that has puzzled me for so many years.
It would be fantastic to go through an experience similar to R Mcknight's one but unfortunately I never saw the girl again after that time in my dream.
Anyhow I am now extremely curious about her experience and can't wait to read "Soul Journeys".
I'm sure to find some answers there if not to the identity of the girl in my dream, to many other questions I have.
Thank you for bringing this book and author to my attention, and for your kindness.
Peace

Hello SunriseChao:

Your dream also reminds me of Rosalind Mcknight. I can't add anything except to say that it sure seems as if the dream touched you, and was more than a dream. Wish fullfilling? Sometimes we ask for help, and the spirit World responds. In ways that our little ego minds can't fathom.

Speaking of Rosalind's "Soul Journeys," a couple of nights ago I decided to take a book with me to bed, so I could read a little before I went to sleep. I thought of what book to read, and saw the cover of Soul Journeys by my book shelf. I then walked up to the shelf, and found that Sould Journeys wasn't located on the front row of books where it could be seen. Instead it was located on a back row where it couldn't possibly be seen. Mysterious eh (not really)?

Next I asked for a page number, and was given page 24. I read pages 24 through 26, which related to what I needed to ponder at the time.

SunriseChaos,

You had the dream when you were just 5. Was it your earliest recalled dream? Psychiatrist Carl Jung taught that your earliest recalled dream is often a piece of inner fate; i.e. that it symbolically depicts the purpose of your life or at least of your early life. He demonstrates this from his own life and those of his patients.

I'm baffled by the meaning of your dream. I suspect the key lies in your reluctance to gaze into the mirror on your bureau and your decision to look at the mirror in the closet. I would meditate on what that might symbolically mean. The fact that the closet mirror was concealed might mean that the dream depicts the unconscious self-image that is struggling to find expression and the need to undo the damage done by unkind remarks directed at a sensitive little girl. If so, then the dream might signify that the earliest part of your life is about learning not the be the "effect" of other people's perceptions of you, but to shape your own essence by learning to prize your uniqueness. But that's just a guess.

Hey Recoverer
I know just what you mean. They are always trying to help but sometimes people don't realize this or put it down to coincidence.
I had a very low point in my life where everything was going wrong and I felt so lonely. I started questioning the existence of God, the afterlife, the point of life and love and then I had a dream...
In my dream I was in a beautiful, spacious building, with marble floors and I was holding a little girl in my arms. She was about 4 years old and even though she did not look like my daughter (the one I have in real life) I remember feeling this overwhelming love for her just as if indeed she was my child.
Suddenly two women came to take her from me. I was heartbroken and I didn't know why they had to take her but I knew they'd care and love her just as much as I would. Then I woke up.
I was really touched by the dream but I couldn't understand the meaning of it until later.
That afternoon I was thinking about the dream and all was explained to me. I did not hear any voice talking to me or anything like that. It was more of a transmition of information and suddenly I just knew exactly what that dream was about.
It was just what I needed. Only a higher intelligence could have managed to get it so right.
I had been given the chance to see and hold the child I had lost four years before when I miscarriage. Only she was not a baby anymore somehow she was the age she would have been had she survived and been born.
In a fraction of a second I knew I wasn't alone, there was love, and I was loved and my baby was alive.

Peace.

Berserk,
Thank you so much for your post.
You know I would have never come out with an explanation like that myself. But somehow many of the things you say resonate true whithin me.
You have given me so much food for thought here, and brought me maybe a bit closer to understanding who I am today through the child I once was.

Thank you for that. I only wish I had been able to talk to you when I was 5. Wink

Peace.

SunriseCaos:

I get what you mean. I remember the first time I had a sequence of dreams where I realized that my dreams were directed by my spirit World guidance, not by a freudian like subconscious mind. Every detail of the dream was perfect. No way a subconscious biology based mind could come up with such a series of dreams. The awareness that directs my dreams, knows more about me and life than I do.
