Hi, I'm writing another book about how to get, well, lets say interpret dream symbols when you are trying to get information about the future.

so I'm doing this now about 5 years seriously and starting to get a handle on it. I want to pass on what I can as I think it can make our lives easier if we don't have to wait for a telephone call to tell us what is up with that deal you just made with somebody, etc. I am enjoying the study, especially if I can write about dreams coherently to benefit some one elses study of this way to get info.

this recent example. I set an intention to find out why my buyer is taking so long to finish buying and moving into my house. taking too long. he has a deal on his end, another buyer involved in purchasing his house so he can purchase mine.

the last I heard from him on the email was "she had her loan in place, and her earnest money was deposited to his account, which means he gets to keep her money if she backs out." so looks good huh?

still, weeks go by, you know. not a word. so I set an intention which took 2 or 3 days to get my dream info. then another 2 or 3 days just to interpret it!

man, I feel slow sometimes, but I'm happy I finally did it. I don't get these kind of dreams but maybe once a month, or once every two months and always have to cogitate on the intention of doing it for a day or so, if you want to try it. read about setting intentions in Bruce's books.

we all have some symbols in common when dreaming. like a house is your house of consciousness, where u live. in this dream I was in the back seat of a car. the car was a symbol of the deal between the 3 of us. the deal is my buyer Jim, would sell his house to Tina, then buy my house. I'm in the back seat watching them argue.
he gets out. they both try to tell me everything is cool, but I notice the car is a little on the rough side for the money they are asking for it.

later in reality Jim tells me she's asking about $50k more than her place is worth. (rough car)

in the dream I'm still in the backseat as I'm not driving this thing. and a spark is under the hood, may cause a fire, but unlikely I think. she backs the car up about 90mph freaking out and I think she's not careful and is gonna crash us and I yell at her let me out of the car. (believe it or not this is precog and I'll tell u why later) she's in a trance state or just doesn't know I'm there asking to be let out of the car. she finally notices me freaking in the backseat and I get out.

so I email my buyer and I lay it out and he emails back and says that I was reading his mind! ha ha!
she's backing out of the deal because her relatives refuse to help her out like they said they would. plus her house is not fixed up for what she's asking.
Jim had been afraid I'd back out of the deal if he told me what was going on.
thats not true, I wouldn't back out because I know his house will sell fast once it gets back on the market.

this wasn't like a full blown obe, where you feel you are there in this other body. this was just a couple of movie scenes in the mind, like a common dream.

my idea like I said, you can make decisions easier if you have more info. and setting an intention to find out something, instead of just getting impatient, I think is better way, as then you don't have to jump to conclusions that somebody is pulling the wool over your eyes when they are just running scared.
sure you can just ask what's up, but people don't always communicate whats up, so you have to find out on your own. Dreams are excellent way to explore what's really going on.

cheers!

Spooky said: Thanks Alysia! I'm not really experienced in this area so it's good to hear that it works and how it works to get motivated to try it oneself.
In short the main things would be the following if I got it right:

1. Get familiar with your dream symbology.
For this it would be good to remember, write down, re-read dreams and get an overview of your own dream-language and how it could be translated.
______

_____

2. Set intention that you want specific informations through a dream, and
set intention to remember it to write it down.
_____

____
3. Then of course start thinking it over, remembering what you've asked.

A question I have: When you remember a dream and you didn't asked something, do you have a feeling whether it was a precognitive/informative dream or a dream of some other kind?

oh Spooky, lol, I'd be glad to read your dreams and interpret from my perspective and u can tell me if it rings true, or you can get your interpretation out of mine..know what I mean?

I only have about 20 pages on this other book so far, as first I need more material! lol. I get the material from going on forums like this so glad to see your dreams friend! probably all the material will start coming as you write, as you understand that point really well, that writing something down, theres an ocean to tap into of further thoughts...
write it down as detailed as u can, I'll talk soon. love, alysia

Hello laffingrain LaffingRain!

Just to add some of my own experiences with some dreams that I have had:

To summarize:
About a year ago I had a dream that everybody that I worked with was sitting around in the workshop and passing money around... I woke up wondering what this dream had to do with the tea in China. Well... I got to work in the morning and we were all sitting around in our chairs in a circle like we normally do before we set off on our given tasks for the day. However, one of the guys that I work with began talking about a friend of his whom was in a recent motorcycle accident and that he was suffering immensely both pain-wise (he lost his leg) and hospital bill-wise... His idea was that we could all pitch in whatever we could afford to help him out financially... Hence, the deja-vu! Everyone started passing money around just like in my dream... I froze for a second because my mind was going into "hyper-drive" (the scrambled eggs effect)... It almost felt like I was an actor in the middle of a choreographed movie, however, this movie was MY LIFE, and I can assure you, I am by no means a "qualified" actor! LOL!

Very surreal!

P.S. I had another dream not too long ago, but I'm not sure what it means... In the dream I was sitting on some docks overlooking a lake of sorts... I was resting on one dock, and my brother was resting on another... In the dream, I saw a rippling effect coursing through the water between me and my brother... Then, out of nowhere, there was what appeared to be the tale of a huge whale surfacing from the water... I thought, "Hmm..." "Now that's a little strange." A few seconds had passed and the "tail" re-surfaced... However, this time it was not a tail at all... and it shot out of the water and hovered there for a few seconds... It looked like a rainbow colored phoenix. It's wings were transparent like a butterfly, and the blues and hot pinks were extremely bright and vivid...

I'm still not sure what this dream could mean... ???

Lucy said: Or maybe it is just having some little ritual to tell your subconcious mind that you are serious about this.

yes I think u hit the nail on the head Lucy. it has to do with will, or willing, to impress the conscious mind to get the subconscious mind to do something about or with your intention. also has something to do with releasing the intention. stop worrying in other words, is to release it.  worrying, like doubts seems to block the subcon. from producing what u want to know.

looking back, it took more than a few days. more like once a day I would be bugged about the deal I had made which was not manifesting timely enough. this worry turned into I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING; FIND OUT SOMETHING!  another part of me is relax, it will happen. well, sure, it will happen, but we were past the deadline by about 3 months..even a dodo like me can see its all about communcation in this world and I am too laid back when it comes to business transactions.

so its about self talk too. now, 100 times a day is too extreme for my tastes...ACIM's affirmation worked for me to do 3 times a day....even then Lucy, it was a drag to remember....used to carry a little postcard around, oh yea, I should do this with coffee, lunch and dinner, just glancing at the affirmation was enough to insert it back into the subcon. area to let the wheels begin turning there..as all the affirmations had the intention of getting u connected to one message...seeing things in a different way. opening the mind to possibility and away from denial thoughts.
its simply a reprogramming of the mind back there going on. new software takes time to upload.

100 times a day...no way! theres only 24 hrs in a day divide that 24 into 100 and  u wouldn't have time to go smell the roses outside....

when I first began reading ACIM..it reorganizes your priorities...into one intention. peace of mind.

I think we all agree that peace of mind is a lofty goal. I can say I do have peace of mind now in far greater quality than 20 years ago when I first started practicing it's affirmations, to test them out.

anyhoo, don't mean to start preaching about ACIM but it happens! lol! thank u so much for thinking of alysia to mention The Disappearance of the Universe. the book has arrived, I'm on page 40 and vastly having fun with it. and that friend I told u about who needed to read it! he emailed me that he has to put the book down and go outside and scream...then he comes back in and starts reading it again. he's releasing some belief systems from his body.  see, u Lucy, you did this, you helped another and didn't know it.
so thought I'd let you know, I'mthinking of you too! hugs, alysia

Thanks muchos grande LaughingRain Laffingrain!

Your interpretations of my dreams are very useful to me... I appreciate you taking the time to interpret them in such detail.

This doesn't have much to do in the way of dreams, but I thought I would share it nonetheless...

I remember when my father once told me a story involving his parents, him, and a few of his siblings... They were driving down an old country road when he was just a child... It was night time and very foggy out... At any rate, my grandpa (my dad's dad), whom was driving at the time, began to doze off at the wheel... The car was headed directly for a ditch/telephone pole... However, right before impact  they, were all startled to find that the car had amazingly been rerouted back onto the road and they were safe... My grandpa didn't realize what had happened because when he snapped to, the car was where it was when he began to doze!

Ahh! The miracles of guides/helpers/angels!

God bless 'em!
