I am new (posting not reading) and feel urged to post this. Yesterday I woke up, not from a dream, but more of a thought, awareness, knowing - not sure what to call it.
The thought was that many of us here (collectively, not just the forum) are reincarnated from the Pandemic of 1918. And there's a reason and a purpose.
Altho I have meditated on it, I was unable to come up with any explanations just the thought. Hoping that someone else, more intuitive than I, can or perhaps has already.
Thoughts? Thank you.
Welcome to the forum Daadamo! This is an interesting question.
Past-life/reincarnation fascinates many here on the forum so I am sure you are likely to get some thoughtful responses. While I will enjoy reading what others have to say the subject, it is not normally a topic I have much knowledge in or strong views about. Thanks for posting the question, I look forward to hearing others thoughts on the subject.
I have little doubt there is some sort of collective purpose for this pandemic I do think we needed to go through it as a collective, not just in isolated regions on our globe. The purpose may unfold over time. It seems to be moving us forward to some higher purpose(s).
Welcome!
I am fascinated by your "knowing" and feel it is just as deeply an intuitive thought as any dream or meditation. I would think it is very possible that many people in our current time are reincarnated from the 1918 pandemic or even prior plagues, etc.
I don't have much experience with the idea of reincarnation, but have reading up on it lately and my attention has been drawn to it. It is a really interesting topic and there are others who have commented with their experiences and thoughts in our Afterlife thread (@natalie @moonbeam @coyote @dannyboy @bluebelle @luminous - I am sure there are others.)
I agree with @lovendures that the current pandemic definitely has some sort of purpose for us collectively and that it is helping to move us forward towards a higher awareness/purpose.
Thank you for your replies. Yes, I do know it to be true. However, I love explanations, lol, and am constantly seeking answers, for the "why now?", and what should we be doing to prevent this from happening again. So basically if we reincarnated at this time for a specific purpose related to the pandemic, what lessons are we learning? what actions should we take? or are we just glutton's for punishment?
And on a different note, I have loved reading this forum and know that it kept me sane during the presidency of the other guy. It's not always easy to find others of like minds, and that kept me coming back to the forum.
Thanks everyone.
Okay, this is going to seem really weird, but I want to share.
Ever since I was a young child, I've always had weird dreams about levitation, and recently I had another.
In my dream, like the ones from when I was a child, I am in some random place with other people there, and people are walking and going about their business as usual. But instead of walking like everyone else, I instead begin to levitate and float several inches off the ground beneath my feet. As this happens, I am then able to float and walk as though I am walking on air.
Each time I do this in my dreams, it feels like the most natural thing in the world - like an ability we each all have and possess but no longer use. Several times I have woken up from these dreams, including now, where I feel like i could do this right now. Obviously, I couldn't if I tried, but it's that feeling like it is there to be used and unlocked - a mixture of state of mind, will, but also an absolute sense of knowing and belief that we can do this - that every one of us has this ability.
Your dream reminded me of a very similar dream I used to have (and I am sitting here thinking...is this a dream or a *memory* I have? It was that natural and clear a feeling.) I used to dream regularly that I could, as you said, levitate somehow and YES - it was the most natural feeling in the world! I totally agree with how you described it. Other people around, going about their business, but I would be able to levitate. So interesting!
I used to have those when I was younger. I felt it was out of body projection. I would float through the bedroom wall, or float on my back up in the clouds.
@luminous @cc21 @elaineG. I love your dreams about levitation and walking above the ground! I have a wonderful recurring dream that I am flying and people are on the ground and acting like there is nothing special but I find that I can flap my arms and go as high as I want. I love especially the feeling that I just have to flap my arms vigorously enough, and, Whoopi, I go higher. It is a glorious feeling.
I see it as a dream about the power of the mind to go wherever we want and even attain whatever level of power, effect we want. For me it's about inspiration.
@jeanne-mayell I used to have a lot of dreams about flying. Occasionally I will have one about levitation, and like @elaineg, have attributed those to a partial "out of body" experience.
My theory about flying, floating, gliding dreams is that they come from the memories of us being spirits- before we were born. That could explain why these dreams feel so natural, and seem to be universal.
I think flying dreams signify a higher level of consciousness. The other people going about their business aren't at the same level yet and may not acknowledge your presence.
I have had flying dreams since I was a child. In my dreams, it is always night time and I’m soaring above a quiet, sleeping city. I have never felt such freedom as in these dreams.
This is not my dream, but my mother's. She rarely shares her dreams but tells me this one this morning:
We were both in Israel. We are in a place that only women can go to and you were with me there speaking to these women, and they had taken off their head coverings to speak to us both. It was a real honour to be there, because these women had not taken these coverings off for anyone previously, especially in front of a man and that is why I said to you it was a real honour. We were both helping them in some way.
I had another house dream last night. In the dream, my husband and I had purchased a huge old fixer-upper. It had four stories. People were visiting the house, like an open-house party or perhaps a housewarming. Some expressed concern at the amount of work I was in for. I replied that I'd already done two fixer-uppers so I figured I could handle it. And I said that it was at least in better cosmetic shape than my previous house. (In waking life, I have done only one larger fixer-upper--- which I currently live in. And in the dream we were moving out of it into the "new" house. And my current house did have cosmetic issues that made it seem to be in worse shape than it was.)
I went up on the fourth floor. I hadn't seen much of it previously because the former owners would not allow anyone up there for long. I thought to myself as I entered the fourth floor that maybe it had been a bad idea-- not really thoroughly checking out every aspect of the house before buying it. Nevertheless, the fourth floor was full of antique furniture and I was excited, anticipating examining it all and looking in the drawers for interesting things. Then I saw a small door into another stairway that went even higher than the fourth floor. The staircase went up maybe 8 feet inside a 30 to 40 foot spire. At the top of the stairs there was a boarded-up door. I thought "what if there is a dead body in there, I really should have checked this place out better". Then I put that thought aside as looked up at the inside of the spire rising above me and wondered how anyone ever managed to maintain it. And hoped it was structurally sound.
There was also some reference to the fourth floor being done up as a "haunted house" in the past for Halloween. I said I had been there on Halloween, and though most people were afraid to go in, I hadn't been.
Also there was a kitchen (sometimes two) on every floor, but some of the kitchens were only plumbed with cold water so we were trying to figure out the best way to deal with that. (The appliances were very old and very cool.)
Anyone want to take a crack at interpretation? I have a few ideas but I'd like to hear others'.
This is a highly symbolic dream. Jeanne has mentioned before that women tend to have house dreams, but I'm not sure what that means in this context. @frank has interpreted "building" dreams to signify the chakras. Since there are four stories in the house, perhaps your dream is about ascending to the heart chakra and beyond. And since you lived in two previous fixer-uppers, I keep thinking about the mass migrations already underway due to climate change (and which will continue to grow exponentially). Maybe you are a climate refugee in the dream and you move into the house with four stories in order to be safe from rising waters. Rising water can be metaphorical; your dream self might want to be safe from the emotional waters of societal change. The residual spookiness on the fourth floor could be collective fear of the unknown, but you are a true pioneer and aren't flustered by new discoveries.
@coyote Yes, thanks for referencing that. Basically, my theory comes from the fact that the body (both physical and subtle) is like a house for your soul. Thus, each level in the house can be assumed to coincide with a different chakra (subtle bodies). When you dream of your home and, particularly, a specific floor of that house, it is telling you something about that chakra and your current focus for spiritual development.
@ana, I think the dream is indicating that you are beginning to explore a heart centered existence. The antiques present on the 4th floor may indicate that you were much more heart centered long ago at one point in your life, (maybe childhood) but then drifted away to focus on more earthly needs (lower chakras) as you grew up. The "haunted house" and the door to the stairwell implies that the heart chakra is the gateway for you to start exploring the higher realms of spirituality. Finally, I think the lack on hot water on certain floors is telling you that those chakras are somehow imbalanced and could use an influx of energy to get them going again. ❤️
Thanks for the input. It had also occurred to me that the fourth floor might represent the heart chakra, particularly since @coyote had referenced the heart chakra in another thread, saying that 2023 could be the year of the heart chakra, as 2020 was the year of the root chakra. So the idea of the heart chakra had recently been in conscious mind before I had the dream. The antiques-- they may or may not represent childhood, unless it was very early childhood. (I had/have a very critical mother and learned to toughen up early.) It could just be because I like antiques and "junk" ; so maybe I am seeing exploring the heart chakra as interesting ? I think you are right @coyote about the residual spookiness being fear of the unknown. And @frank about the boarded up door to other levels being the entry way to higher realms, and about the water situation possibly representing imbalance. I didn't have any theories about that at all. Anyhow it was an interesting dream! Thanks again.
I had a really strange dream this morning that I woke up to. It was strange enough that I decided to write it down before I could forget it:
I was driving with someone I didn’t know in a convertible and we were on our way to a motel to try to rescue a cat. I asked if she was cold as the air was cool. When we arrived, we noticed that there was a lot of activity there and that police were monitoring what was going on in some of the rooms. You could tell which rooms were being monitored by the wires under the doors leading into the hallway. A policeman cautioned us to be careful as we moved down the hallway. Just as we arrived at the room where we thought the cat was (the door was open only to that room), Ted Cruz ran past us and out the main door and tripped. He was then swarmed by a pack of rats. The manager of the motel told us that his son had turned him in and that she thought that the cat we were looking for was still nearby. Then she said, “There are a lot more of those here than you would think.” I woke up before I could find out if she was referring to rats or cats (or the one swarmed by the rats).
As I am trying to untangle the meanings in it, I suspect it has to do with the government looking/monitoring for wrong doing, possibly people in Cruz’s own circle ultimately turning on him for some reason…?
I am open to any other ideas that any of you may have.
Baba, love your dream. What pops up for me:
I was driving with someone I didn’t know in a convertible and we were on our way to a motel to try to rescue a cat.
A spirit guide is with you (the person you didn't know). Sounds like your guide is a female energy. The convertible is your open first chakra, open to the Collective conscience and the Universe.
we were on our way to a motel to try to rescue a cat.
I wonder if this is about nefarious activities in motels or other locations where detained migrants, possible children, are being held. So far as I know there have been no news stories of trafficking migrants but plenty of rumors.
You could tell which rooms were being monitored by the wires
I agree that it sounds like under Biden there has been an uptick in FBI monitoring for trafficking and now it sounds like Ted Cruz may be involved in this illegal activity.
Ted Cruz ran past us and out the main door and tripped. He was then swarmed by a pack of rats.
"out the main door" sounds like he is involved at a high level. The rats could be all of those involved in the illegal activities and the Cruz followers. There are always sycophants who hope to make a buck or get up in the political world by associating with high profile politicians.
The manager of the motel told us that his son had turned him in and that she thought that the cat we were looking for was still nearby. Then she said, “There are a lot more of those here than you would think.” I woke up before I could find out if she was referring to rats or cats (or the one swarmed by the rats).
When I get an ambiguous message with two meanings, the truth almost always turns out to be both meanings. There are a lot more rats (lower level perpetrators) and there are a lot more cats (abused victims).
Takeaway: @baba, I've noticed that your visions often seem to happen within a month or two of a breaking news story. So I am looking forward to hearing about Ted Cruz!
Also, your vision tells us that the there is hidden abuse happening in private, non government structures, like motels, as opposed to Homeland security facilities.
@jeanne-mayell Thanks for your analysis! You made a lot of good points and they make sense to me. It is sometimes hard to untangle one’s own dreams. You get a hint of what is going on but extra eyes help to make sense of it. I too will be watching what comes to light in the next few months.
