@liln22 There are a number of viewpoints that could be taken with that dream:
1) It is symbolic and may or may not be transpersonal. Do you have concerns with your mother being distracted by "pretty" or trivial things (wanting to see the stained glass then falling asleep) and not keeping to the necessary tasks at hand (keeping safe)? Or perhaps the figure of your mother represents a collective of people not paying attention to what is immediately important? And the people in the same unit fighting among themselves represent destructive divisions between subgroups of people who generally want the same end goal?
2) Or... is it a more literal past life recollection (interspersed with anachronisms,like the cell phone)?
3) Or... and I've had a few of these... could you be seeing a real scene through someone else's eyes?
If any of these ideas resonates with you, it is most likely the right direction to take with interpretation.
@ana Thanks for your help! I've thought about what you said and it did give some different ways to think about it. I think the overwhelming feeling was we have to stay together and not get distracted-like it was important to keep focus. I can see it as resonating both personally with somethings going on in my family but also how my feelings are for the country. I did find your other suggestions interesting though because even in this dream it had so many details of the building, the stained glass, the layout , and the strangers faces that seemed so realistic and specific. My dreams are usually very colorful, detailed and vivid and I often dismiss them as just dreams. After reading some of the stories here, it has made me wonder about some of them more now.
@liln22 I'm glad I could be helpful. I've come to believe that many dreams are experiences we are having in our astral (or whatever you call it) bodies. I have a lot of dreams where I am helping people, or leading people in some way. I would like to think that maybe I really am being of service on another plane. Maybe you are, too.
And a couple of times I have seen things through another person's viewpoint, then turned on the morning news to see what I just witnessed in a dream .
And then, a lot of my own dreams are probably just my mind taking out the mental trash for the day.
I have been having very vivid dreams... this is where my prophecies come.
In this dream I found myself in a church. There was a coffin. It was a funeral. I had an idea of who was in the coffin but will not reveal it here. Princess Beatrice was speaking. Eugenie was nearby. Fergie was on the outside looking in. They wouldn’t let her in. Then they did and it was scandalous. Everyone was standing up and murmuring.
I left the church and started walking. Clearly I was in England. I started to pass a vestibule for the “Julian line” of the underground. It looked Edwardian or Victorian. Suddenly a large Barred owl blocked my path. I was frightened but it then let me pass. A group behind me was then held up by the bird.
I feel this dream signifies some kind of new beginning for Britain... thoughts?
Hi Everyone, I wonder if you have any tried-and-true methods for remembering dreams. I’ve dreamt always “in technicolor” and they’re similar to watching a movie. Very complex settings and lots people, etc, often people I don’t know. This year, however, I haven’t been able to remember my dreams except rarely. I’ve tried putting crystals nearby and under my pillow, but it doesn’t help. Thanks for any suggestions!
@coyote I agree w others, your book idea resonates w me as well. I loved teaching incoming ninth graders about the Heroic Journey and how all of us embark on these journeys regularly. Yours involves your health every day. Keep going! Because your shared experience is helpful to others as it is to your hero self.
P.s. after a recent meditation circle, someone asked about earthangel and I couldn’t remember then that after it popped up in my head (when I signed on to the forum) and I looked it up, the meaning is light worker. I’ve never thought of myself as a strong statuesque lighthouse for others, but I do like to think my optimistic self is a light worker who encourages resiliency during our many storms in life. And as you battle daunting physical ailments, you are a light worker also bc your words and experiences soothe, inspire, and encourage others. Thank you, Coyote ?
While many on this forum have been having trouble sleeping the past few nights, I've actually slept well and had some very vivid dreams. Last night I had a very strange dream that involved tRump, but only at the end. I'm not sure it's a premonitory dream like many have had about the guy, otherwise I might have posted this in another thread. I usually don't dream about politics. In the past, I have had the occasional premonitory dream, but it is usually about something small and seemingly inconsequential. I'll dream about someone I haven't seen or heard from in a while and out of the blue I'll see or hear from them the next day, or I'll see something related to a dream in my real life the next day.
So I'll describe my personal dreams before I get to the tRump part. On Thursday night, I dreamed that my Dad (who passed away in 2009) was at my childhood home digging deep ditches near the driveway and dirt road coming into our house. There was water trickling through from the direction of the house. I turned and looked in that direction and a whole flood of water was coming toward the ditch. Then I was talking with my Dad and he had built an artisan well on the other side of the yard. There was a barrel with three pipes coming out the top with water flowing out. In real life, after my Mom remarried, she did something that went against my Dad's wishes to please her new husband. It greatly upset me and my Sister. My sister handled it better, but it has had a very profound and negative affect on me. I've frequently asked my Dad's assistance (from the other side) to help right things, as my Mom has failed to even so much as apologize for the hurt her decision caused. I took the dream as a very positive indication that my Dad is helping to fix things, and I took the flowing water as a good sign that things may finally be moving to right this wrong.
So last night, started out as kind of a continuation of that dream. Somehow I was in an alternate reality (or perhaps the spirit world), and while I don't remember the details about this part of the dream, I received confirmation from my Dad that he is helping. Then I run into my Sister, but she's an alternative reality version of my sister. We both acknowledge this in the dream, but still realize our connection. We start running down some stairs. I don't know if we're running away from something or toward something, though I think I knew in the dream. We run through some corridors and hallways. I have to stop or turn around for a moment (perhaps I forgot something or needed to tie my shoe) and my sister keeps going is way ahead of my and out of sight. Then I'm in some kind of room with scientists and computer monitors. There's a garage door that opens onto a field. An alien spacecraft descends on the field. You don't see the spaceship, just light coming down in the fog. There is a crowd of people hailing the arrival of the ship with excitement. And who should walk out of the ship to greet the crowd? It's our current IMPOTUS in Chief. I can see it, but I don't know if the crowd sees him or an alien, but they cheer him on. Then he plans to leave again in the ship, but promises to e-mail the scientists from space. I see the light from the spaceship going up again through the fog. It comes back down again briefly and lands behind a tree in the distance. The crowd dispersing along the road starts to converge on the ship again, but it leaves before they get there.
I feel the first part of the dream was again confirmation that my Dad is helping my personal family situation from the other side. The tRump / alien part was truly bizarre.
@earthangel Try a mugwort pillow. Put some mugwort (at least an ounce or so) in a cloth bag and slip it inside your pillowcase. Prepare yourself for some vivid and wild dreams! When my kids were young (elementary school age) we made mugwort pillows. We had lots of interesting dreams and shared them with each other each day. Their dad did not believe us, so the kids put a mugwort pillow into his pillowcase one night and didn’t tell him about it. The next morning at breakfast he spent several minutes describing a wild and crazy dream that he had. The kids just cracked up laughing and told him what they had done. They made a believer out of him.
Wow! Lots and lots of wild and fun dreams! I spent decades analyzing dreams--my own and others as many of mine did involve Astral travel or were prophetic.
I learned over the years that almost all dreams that involve family members, friends, your pets (here now or over the rainbow bridge already) are our subconscious working on our shadow selves (the dark side of all of us projecting outwardly into our created realities, (people we can't stand etc.) Shadows sides includeof of the very worse of all things and emotions (bigotry, racism, narcissistic and other personalities) .
Basically, everyone and everything that we truly believe we are not and never could be. Hard to imagine much less people for almost all of us I know but this is what also makes up part of our alternate realities and past lives.
This is a lot to consider much less understand but part of all of us that seeks to truly heal (ourselves orcas energy or shamanic etc healers seeking to help others' journey.
What has been your journey to getvto where you see your as now?
What intrigues you? What do you identify with? What movies do you most like to watch or books to read?
These can lead you to your sacred archetypes . We often carry 12 . Carolyn Myss and other presentient/healers/mystics write about the shadow selves, archetypal subconscious etc.
If our dreams are silly or frivolous or quirky or the opposite things like worrisome or fearful thats often you working on yourself in the subconscious fields of dream time.
I love all of this stuff, light, dark, filled with depth or quirky fun. We have so much to truly explore and learn about ourselves in this perception of a lifetime and so much growth and evolution to experience right up to our very end of whatever our end might truly be!
Really think about the Wizard of Oz and its allegorical journey. We are all on one.
Some of us have just been blessed/curses with deeper often thought of as greater and more challenging ones.
And of course our dear @Coyote is one of this sacred tribes.
Blessings to you Coyote on your newest journey! And interesting dreams to all of you!
Keep sharing. We all have much to teach. We all have much to learn but most of all, we all have a purpose here with much to share!
?????
Coyote, if you write that book (or books) I will read them.
No kidding and then some!
Well phooey to me and one of my very human quirky, problematic or needing to heal side My post is totally missing my edit! Hahaha
Our dreams about famijy etc.are not our shadow sides unless we are having challenging times with family especially if your home right now with terrible two and three or teenage children. Haha.
Our usual dreams are our subconscious self/mind/ side trying to resolve/heal relationships we never fully were able to or our daily fears and anxieties about this reality/ world/ dimension that we are healing our relationships with
Insert all of this before the word shadow and its discussion .
I post on a cell phone and it and, my phones online connection in a zombie house with almost no bars to work with of service) where realities come and go over 50 years of studying, learning, working on and working in and out of many energies and alternative realities as I've helped others on my own personal journey.
Things happen to and with and because of me all the time that are beyond strange and unusual.
I saw it save the edit but somehow it did not and now that button is gone hence my apologies!
Hahahaaa
This is Halloween this is Halloween!
Full moon and Halloween and a great big looming Mars and perhaps the long long mercury retrograde is still ongoing!
Final edited version of my Dream post!
"Wow! Lots and lots of wild and fun dreams! I spent decades analyzing dreams--my own and others as many of mine did involve Astral travel or were prophetic.
I learned over the years that almost all dreams that involve family members, friends, your pets (here now or over the rainbow bridge already) or your working and other relationship groups seeking through is your own sleepyime/dreamtime subsubconscious self/mind/ side trying to resolve/heal relationships we never fully were able to or our daily fears and anxieties about this reality/ world/ dimension that we are healing our relationships with. Either day by day or night after night seeking healing of sometimes pretty big fears for ourselves, our loved ones, or our world.
The deeper dreamtime which is neverending time or perhaps our collective Neverending Story is often filled with was we see as the dream withing the dream.Here our lives are filled with endless need of learning about, dealing/ healing with our "shadow selves" (the dark side of all of us projecting outwardly into our created realities, (people we can't stand etc.) Shadows sides includeof of the very worse of all things and emotions (bigotry, racism, narcissistic and other personalities) .
Basically, everyone and everything that we truly believe we are not and never could be. Hard to imagine much less believe they are all part of all of us. But this is what also makes up part of our alternate realities and past lives as in many systems and beliefs including ever growing quantum physics and mechanics, there is no barrier between past, present, and future or even in a far larger version the multi-verse.
This is a lot to consider much less understand but part of all of us that seeks to truly heal (ourselves or as energy or shamanic etc healers seeking to help others' theirsselves as well as ourselves at the same time.

I love these dreams - your father helping by digging ditches that will draw and direct the flow of water (water as emotional flow and even as divine love) in the right way. When you are "in the flow" you are living a divinely inspired existence.
re Trump in the spaceship: I love that you couldn't see the spaceship because of the fog, you knew it was there because of the light through the fog. We do live in a fog and we can't know the truth of existence. We only know it from its glow. The great Nobel prize-winning physicist Edwin Schroginger wrote about the truth of the tiny particles (and thus our whole world) as unknowable and only understood through metaphor, which is the metaphor of the space ship in the fog. And the great novelist Joseph Conrad, wrote in Heart of Darkness that the truth of a story is only understood as a glow that brings out a haze. So your dream was a perfect metaphor for the messages, the role, and the future of Donald Trump.
So Trump is leaving, but then he returns, and leaves again. Trump has said in one of his many speeches where he reveals his plans that he will go to another country. Many of us have felt he will flee to another country, along with members of his family. But then he reappears because he can't not have his audience and his message will live on though his followers.
The space ship metaphor also fits death, as well as my card reading of July 26 that showed him at the end of January sprouting wings and taking off into the sky.

Wow I’ll tell you guys, I never dream of animals. And the last several nights all kinds are showing up. This time it was a black bear slumbering next to my ex’s house. An ex from 20 years ago.
I have had trouble falling Asleep lately but once I’m asleep man I can’t get up!
I had a 2 layered dream that I think might be prophetic so I thought I would jot it down. I don't remember a lot of it unfortunately.
In the first layer I was at a house with people I did not know in real life. We were in a small room with wooden floors and walls. I noticed an insect like mosquito insect near an indoor plant. It's movements were a bit odd. Not really flying, but moving around quickly. I mentioned the insect and the older gentleman in the room told me it wasn't actually an insect, it had a human form. I then caught the insect gently and looked closely at it and yes indeed it did have a form similar to a human, though it was mostly grayish. It than escaped and I thought how did the humans become the size of insects for was this perhaps a different species all together? I felt they were likely in danger. I thought of life from their perspective, how everything is gigantic to them like in Honey I Shrunk the Kids and life was dangerous.
The last layer of the dream I don't remember well though the insect-like human(s) were not part of this dream. In this dream I knew a mosquito born illness was around and it was serious. Something like an encephalitis-like illness was spreading. When I woke up I had that "knowing" that this was important. I believe that some sort of mosquito transmitted virus will be in the news and it will be infecting humans.
I have a friend whose husband contracted an illness from the mosquito-borne West Nile Virus here in Georgia. He was getting close to retirement age so he was at least in his late 50's or 60's when he got sick with it. A few months later he had ALS and I always wondered if the West Nile Virus infection was somehow related to the ALS diagnosis. Wikipedia says, "The causes of West Nile Virus mediated encephalitis have been explored by Dr. Robyn Klein at Washington University in St. Louis. She has found that West Nile infection increases cytokines and chemokines in the blood, making the blood brain barrier more leaky and susceptible to infection." I don't know if he had symptoms of encephalitis but maybe it made his nervous system more susceptible to infection by some other virus or pathogen which then helped cause the ALS. He died a little over a year after diagnosis at Christmas time.
Zika, Dengue, and Chikungunya are other mosquito-borne virus diseases. Zika disease came to the US in 2016-2017 and was mostly in Florida. It was probably brought back by travelers from an endemic country. It hasn't been a problem in the US lately but it could always come back. Travelers could also bring the other illnesses to the US at some future time...
This morning right before I woke up, Tom Snyder of talk show/ news anchor fame appeared in my dream and was "signing off" from his talk show program.
That was total weird and random as I haven't thought of him in years upon years. When someone totally weird and random whom I NEVER think about pops into my dream right before waking up, I take notice.
So I asked myself " why did I dream of Tom Snyder?". I then got the feeling it was related to the Leslie Stahl Trump interview.
Snyder was a news anchor and talk show interviewer. As a talk show host, one of the things he was known for was hard hitting in depth interviews though he also had lighter interviews as well.
I think the Stahl 60 minutes interview is important. This morning, Trump released his own WH footage of the interview, breaking an agreement with 60 minutes. The beginning of the interview is reported to have gone like this: Stahl asked "ready for tough questions." Trump replied that he only wanted her to be "fair." "But you're OK with some tough questions?" Stahl asked."No, I'm not," Trump replied.
I decided to do some Tom Snyder research this morning and found this interesting tidbit. He used to "sign off" from one of his shows with this quote: "Fire up a colortini, sit back, relax, and watch the pictures, now, as they fly through the air."
Though I am not exactly sure what Snyder said in my dream as a "sign-off", the sign-off he normally said gives me pause. Maybe it's time to just take a seat, chill and let things happen or in Snyder's words, Fire up a colortini, sit back, relax, and watch the pictures, now, as they fly through the air."
