Hi Cathy! I find this dream looks more like a vision and it is delightful! I will be right back to look closer; I'm so glad you posted this! love, alysia
ok I'm back. I'll take it piece by piece for fun.
quote: I am a reporter on my way to interview an older lady who is a novelist and has recently lost her novelist husband.
_____
in general we are all writing the novel of our life whether we put it down in words or refrain from that and so this interpretation is going to be really a lot of generalities so we all can relate together. and you are the reporter right now, reporting to the public forum.
_____
It is raining heavily and I am driving a very old car.
_____
rain is a symbol that happens before new growth occurs and the old car could symbolize your body's age, or your soul age? or it could symbolize that you do not trust your vehicle which delivers you to get your job done, like a belief system can become outdated and not get you there. nonetheless, you do arrive.
_____
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.
______
I don't see this as necessarily negative, because of the naturalness of the rain, the things that man has made, like roads have their ability to wash away.what I see is you, persevering, to arrive and spotting your turn. admirable.
______
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.
______
You are obviously a good reporter, through rain, sleet and snow..it matters not. you must be one pointed person.
_____
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.
____
this is beginning to sound like this board now, although I know this board reflects life as it is in the streets.
_____
and has a chamber pot, which she uses as she hates leaving her garden.
______
the garden could be the garden of the soul, the chamber pot means nature takes it's course within the garden, and the body is also like a garden where we grow thoughts on it that can be like weeds or flowers. in a real garden if you don't put a seed down, a weed will grow. she appears comfortable with her body.
______
she and her secretary talk to the dead husband as though he still there, and as we drink tea, I notice that the sthingy in the cup that she has poured for him is stirring the tea, as if by an invisible hand.
_____
this sounds very much like the husband has become the spirit guide. I notice family members will do this alot after they pass on, they will stay and enhance the life of their loved one.
______
She explains to me that we are only limited by our imagination and that if we believe something to be so, it will manifest. It is then I start to see her dead husband and I am able to join the conversation with him.
______
this is true. its dead on, pardon the pun. what you focus your eyes towards is your perception, or, what you see is what you get. focus your eyes in another direction and see something different and you get that also. what you ponder on, you begin to manifest evidence of it.
_______
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
_____
where can I meet this woman? lol.
______
After a discussion, we are aware that the continued rain is causing the house to start collapsing, and sliding down the hill. An attempt is made at evacuation, but it is found that we are unable to get out of the house
_____
we are all more or less expecting that the times we are living in is bringing in major changes, but they are all natural, in that the earth itself does this and we are a part of the earth. so it's not scarey becasue we are doing it as one.
_____
We all prepare to die as we face the inevitable, but the woman tells us that what we believe shall be so.
____
so then if you believe you will be shown what to do and where to go during a natural disaster, then I think what she is saying is your beliefs create your reality again.
_____
She has us all go to the top of her house where she says her husband kept the dragons.
_____
for me this is a symbol of man's animal nature which can be harnessed.
_____
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.
______
also I have a thesis our dogs carry our negative as well as positive emotions within them...like scapegoats. so I understand what she's trying to show you.
______
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. As we all start believing her, the dragons all rise together and lift all the humans in the air into safety. 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.
_____
this is lovely. this is the delightful part.
_____
I find myself driving in an early model car 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 who now appears as a much younger man wearing period costume. I am told that we are now in Sweden.
We continued to drive “home”.
____
I too believe that we can live as many lives as desired in any time periods, whether that be simultaneous lives that we can be aware of, or whether we be wrapped up totally in just one life and I also believe that people come together for a reason, even if it's just on a forum, or passing in the street and striking up a conversation, it all has meaning. each journey is just a journey. this is not our home in a completed sense.
thanks again, that was some dream I must say!
