Hi everyoneI am new, but felt compelled to ask for helpIf anyone can help with this dream, I would appreciate it, I was guided to write it down and was made to remember every detail before I awoke.
____________
hi again Cathy. I've been thinking about your dream and decided to be more honest that I really thought the woman in your dream was me, but had some embarrassment around revealing that I related strongly to it. the fact is some strange things have been happening on this board, which are really kind of nice...some board members here and elsewhere have reported seeing me in obe or dreamstate. a psychic friend said I was "easy to find my signature out there." although the symbols will be yours personally to figure out, you frankly had too many hits for me to be able to say it's not me.I dream/obe where if I'm interested in meeting up with someone I do that, and it looks like you are having this ability to not be confined to your waking body state either, so good on ya mate! I believe this was an obe for you and I do believe you were supposed to post it as I benefited specifically and didn't at first want to tell u that I did benefit, so shame on me! again, before I conveniently forget, thank u so much for posting this dream Cathy; I feel only gratitude towards you. I'm going to take the dream apart and tell u what I received from it: images.bravenet.com/common/images/smilies/affection.gif
_______
I am a reporter on my way to interview an older lady who is a novelist and has recently lost her novelist husband.
_______
I'm writing a book. in the book is a love affair with Dead Preacher, I was told was my past life by a psychic (highly respected) and also by a personal guide through an altered state. its a love affair because it started out that he (DP) and I were on the verge of merging from two people into one person integrated, and so you can get away with calling him my dead husband perfectly. DP was also a writer in his life. He told me recently his name was David C. Jordon and his books can be found. He also told me he was an early Christian. when I first began writing I noticed how stiff and formal my style was, as if from an earlier 1910 era. this style changed as the merge or marriage began to take place. thankfully! as the two different styles were driving me a little nuts! nonetheless I do consider it a love affair as we learn from each other too.
________
It is raining heavily and I am driving a very old car.
_____
I think this symbol is the earth, and politics, religion  and new ways of thinking portending new growth brought by the rain. and are u driving some old time thought system? forgive me if not. could mean only that your ideas are being replaced, as the new comes in to replace the old, we won't need old cars after that.
_______
The car is having trouble on the roads as they are being washed away at the edges, so I nearly miss the turning to her home, which is a mansion on top of the hill.
______
old thoughts won't stay on the road, it gets slippery  and you admitted you are going thru many changes. . the mansion is this board and you parked in my driveway, dream thread is my particular driveway, we are slowly getting the word out that we are going thru a very intense period of growth and change as we head towards 2012 and beyond. this board, my opinion is tops. thus on top of the hill. never been able to find a place quite like this one to grow and learn and express on.
________
As I turn into her driveway, I lose control of the car and get it bogged into the collapsing road. I abandon the car and walk up the long drive to the many-storied house.
_____________
more portending of the changes u are going thru as u abandon thoughts that u drive around. many stories are found here in this mansion.
________
The house has many people who I don’t see, but am aware of who are studying or reading, and they come and go as they please.
_____
we do have 1,000's registered here, many more read than post. and they come and go as they please.
_______
There is a housekeeper/ secretary who shows me in and takes me out to meet the woman I am supposed to interview.
_______
I have more guides around me than just DP as I've asked for help on occassion and I am helped when I need it. I try to share in the book that we all have guides who would like to help us if we ask.
_______
She is standing in a wooded area, which is a conservatory and she is quite a well-built and very eccentric woman.
____
I am a woodsy person. not liking the city. in the city now, but not for long. I garden alot and find public land to do it on. I am eccentric if that means I feel free to be quirky. well, how eccentric is it to be writing a book that your past life was a man who preached religion is now also your present life who is "new" and is an old hippie who preaches against religion? I blow my own eccentric thermometer! also I'm a woman! and the book may be taken as fiction but it's non fiction! ahh, I am well built I must say. I recently lost 15 lbs due to the loss of several belief systems while writing! ha ha! but I look good I must say for being nearly 60.
______
She wears an old baggy cardigan and has a chamber pot, which she uses as she hates leaving her garden. She won’t go indoors.
_________
I'm wearing long skirts and hats. trying to start a new trend!  a recent change from baggy clothes. I went thru a fast program where colon cleansing was initiated by guidance. did u know that we humans can carry as much as 20 lbs of stuff in our colons over years? appalling! thats what I relate your chamber pot to mean..and it's so hard to stay indoors when spring is here!
_______
Although I am aware that she is recently widowed, she and her secretary talk to the dead husband as though he still there, and as we drink tea, I notice that the spoon in the cup that she has poured for him is stirring the tea, as if by an invisible hand.
_______
it is like DP is really here, always stirring my book for me, always so very invisible as in not 3 dimensional appearing. this tea we have we are now sharing tea, as I write to you, I feel very comfortable, like its a tea party. DP lets me speak to him as I will, to be contrary, like an old married couple terribly in love, yet completely free to say whatever we want to one another. he has been a good guide.
______
She explains to me that we are only limited by our imagination and that if we believe something to be so, it will manifest.
_____
all thru the book I am talking about the imagination, about using it..many items have been edited from this book, but the thoughts about the imagination are sprinkled thru out. as reality must first start in the imagination..we must dream before a dream can come true. this part of your obe dream is what convinced me we had spoken out there.
_______
It is then I start to see her dead husband and I am able to join the conversation with him.
____
lol. he only gets to talk when I let him. its my life.
______
She says that there are worlds within worlds and that is similar to having bubbles within bubbles, and each manifestation of thought form becomes another bubble
_____
DP and I study holographics..where thoughts spring from thoughts, like bubbles exactly! where science merges with religion, where thoughts are things with form if we so please.
______
After a discussion, we are aware that the continued rain is causing the house to start collapsing, and sliding down the hill.
______
hmm. hope we're not heading for another forum crash or maybe u were dreaming of the recent crash on the 23. sounds more likely.
______
An attempt is made at evacuation, but it is found that we are unable to get out of the house.
We all prepare to die as we face the inevitable, but the woman tells us that what we believe shall be so. She has us all go to the top of her house where she says her husband kept the dragons.
_____
I interpret the dragons as subduable animal natures, subduable of the Earth's wild energy, to come under what DP says is to have dominion over the Earth. (his theosophy)
_______
When we reach the room we see many collars and leads hanging in rows on the wall, but no dragons. She says that her husband believed in them so they exist, and as she explains this, they start to become visible. She instructs us to each take a dragon and put on a collar and lead. Each dragon is the size of a small dog.We are instructed to believe that we are in the world of the dragons and that we will be safe from the destruction of the house.
______
yes, some of us were worried about the recent crash of the board. we still are not clear on what happened, but we were safe from destruction as I just knew we were. I waited for the first post, when it didn't come, I posted something silly and then they started rolling in.
______
As we all start believing her, the dragons all rise together and lift all the humans in the air into safety.
____
yes, I felt that we all came together nicely after that, despite not knowing what happened. I feel u r developing precognition ability.
______
We find ourselves in a different bubble of reality and find ourselves floating over a peaceful countryside and coming to rest gently by a “station” where we part company.
________
the board is different, to me anyway, I feel better posting now about whatever I want to..theres some really lovely people to meet out there, and u r one of them!
________
I find myself driving in an early model car
____
I see DP in 1910 England but not certain of this; he writes in the style of 1910.
_____
with the woman and her husband and I realise that we all have a very strong, past life connection through many lifetimes, particularly myself, and the husband
_____
that could be true. I may ask DP about this. He was a missionary. you may very well have affiliation with him.
______
who now appears as a much younger man wearing period costume.
____
yes form does not matter much to DP. he has taken a younger form on many occassions. he says however I would like to imagine he looks is fine with him. its funny to me to see a young bloke when I think of him often as a stiff old codger dunking heads underwater with the baptizing bit.
_______
I am told that we are now in Sweden.
We continued to drive “home”.
_____
could be we have some parallel lives in sweden, a disc member idea, or oversoul concept. I remember once in a school play of swedish origin I began at once to have the accent without listening to a tape. of course this may just be a sort of talent that I do accents so well. but anything is possible in my mind. and so my dear we do indeed continue to drive home...blessing on your house and all who dwell within as DP would say! I enjoyed our tea so much!
