Good to hear from you. Thanks for sharing your dream. Your interpretation resonates with me about the timeframe of around Easter. The egg is a powerful symbol of life and hope and so your dream of it being crushed and broken is profound. I love how you connected it with your love of Fabrege eggs.
I am of Ukrainian descent (on both sides, grandparents came over on my dad's side and great-grandparents on my mom's side) and the egg, timing of the invasion near Easter (Lent begins next week) made me think of the art of pysanky in Ukraine. There is a legend/superstition that I have heard from childhood:
FROM: https://www.pysanky.info/Downloads/Pysanka_files/History%20and%20Legends%20.pdf
"The Hutzuls––Ukrainians who live in the Carpathian Mountains of Western Ukraine––believe that the fate of the world depends upon the pysanka. As long as the egg decorating custom continues, the world will exist. If, for any reason, this custom is abandoned, evil––in the shape of a horrible serpent who is forever chained to a cliff–– will overrun the world. Each year the serpent sends out his minions to see how many pysanky have been created. If the number is low the serpent's chains are loosened and he is free to wander the earth causing havoc and destruction. If, on the other hand, the number of pysanky has increased, the chains are tightened and good triumphs over evil for yet another year."
I also saw some of the footage of the attack on Kyiv and it reminded me of a dream I had a year or two ago. I am not sure it is related to this, specifically, but it came to mind again. My memory of it is vague, but I recall my husband and I walking down a city street (that resembled some of the buildings I saw in Kyiv recently) and a block or two around the corner a jet plane crashed. We were startled and scared and started running. Next thing I know, we are back in an apartment in the kitchen with my grandmother (who passed years ago) and making preparations and trying to figure out what to do.
I think the black substance/oil oozing that you saw might indicate the economic fallout across the globe with sanctions affecting oil supplies.
@cc21 Thank you so much for your words. I loved the story you wrote, I started crying as it is all so overwhelming. I feel light will win but as an empathic person I also feel all the pain. It makes me sad/mad that we as a world have not learned from history. These dangerous paths that keep developing are difficult to rewind.
Not a dream exactly but a waking vision.
Today I found a note I had made in January. It began with me physically in real time folding my hands in prayer.
I then saw a white corridor and moving down it I saw a white angel in the middle. Such bright pure light.
I heard the faint roar of many voices, men and women in robes talking, including seeing my father. all of them were in prayer for our world. As I listened the voices became a little clearer but still a cacophony of sounds from souls. A great number of souls.
I said to my father, "I am sad today. It is scary to be alive."
At the bottom I had written, "I feel all the lost souls."
I thought this was Covid related but now I am feeling this is Ukraine. The lost lives. I wrote yesterday that I was praying for those lost souls and the children of Ukraine, living and those who were bombed in their schools or orphanages.
There is a great gathering up Yonder. Many souls speaking Grace into existence.

@tbs
Other people might have other suggestion but, yes, I have done it many times. I am out of practice but the method I used years ago was to concentrate and say, as I was in bed about to fall sleep, "I would like to have a dream about X, so that (whatever, make a decision about X, know what to do, to answer X..) Repeat the request three times.
I got this method out of the Seth books decades ago. When I actively worked with my dreams, I had amazing protective, productive, and predictive results. There are a number of other equally simple tips for working with dreams most important of which is writing them down or recording them the moment you are conscious to capture the information provided.
I am so glad you wrote about your dream and followed you nudge to post it here.
I would certainly not discount the connection to the meaning of Alexis, the saint's name and the saint's name day. March 17th may be an important date.
Also, Alexandra means defender of mankind as well, and Alexis is a derivative of Alexandra. St. Alexandra's name date is April 21st. On occasion her name date is April 23 because she is strongly associated with St. George and his name date is April 23rd. She can often be found in the background of icons of St. George as she flees Emperor Diocletian.
The name Alexandra was one of the epithets given to the Greek goddess Hera and as such is usually taken to mean "one who comes to save warriors".
Ukraine is a country filled with people who are Ukrainian Orthodox and Byzantine Right Eastern Catholic. These saints would likely be known to the people of Ukraine.
On a separate but related note, I have wondered if we will hear news of something important on Western Easter ( April 17th) or Eastern Orthodox Eastern, (April 24th.)
I would pay attention to March 17th, April 21st and April 23 as days where we may hear of news about an act or a person coming to "save warriors of Ukraine". Perhaps important news of defense of a city or place in Ukraine. Something important. Warriors might be military or civilians who act as warriors.
@lovendures I am so glad I posted! I love, love, love this! I knew you would have some additional insight.
I completely agree that we may see something significant on those dates, including both western and eastern Easter. I hadn't researched St. Alexandra, so that is really interesting that her name date is April 21st and I didn't know of her connection to St. George (also a big defender...)
"One who comes to save warriors" - that seems very significant.
Thank you!

@cc21, I love your dream! It is powerfully rich and feels significant, both personally and collectively. It’s hopeful. Your dream has created such a feeling of peacefulness in me. @lovendures, I love your interpretation.
@cc21, I am of Polish heritage, and when you mentioned the brown-skinned baby, I immediately thought of the icon painting, the Black Madonna, or Our Lady of Częstochowa. I’ve always been drawn to her. I just researched a bit of the heritage. Here’s a brief summary from Wikipedia:
In 1655 the Black Madonna is said to have miraculously saved the monastery of Jasna Góra from a Swedish invasion. The monks and 180 local volunteers, mostly from the Polish nobility, held off 4,000 Swedes for 40 days, saved the Black Madonna icon and, according to some accounts, turned the course of the war.
Our Lady of Częstochowa is regarded as one of the most popular shrines in Poland. Elderly pilgrims visited the shrine through the countryside at nighttime and at great personal risk during the Nazi occupation.
Ukrainians have a special devotion for the Madonna of Częstochowa. The icon is often mentioned in Ukrainian folk songs from the 16th and 17th centuries.
There are two scars on her right cheek. I love those scars, but never knew the significance. Here’s what I found:
The story of the slash marks on the Madonna's face goes back to 1430, when the monastery was attacked and the painting stolen by a band of Hussites. Legend states that when the Hussities made off with the icon in a horse-drawn wagon, the horses stopped, refusing to go further. The soldiers threw the image on the ground to lessen the weight of the wagon, and one of them slashed it in anger, leaving two gashes.
It is said that attempts to paint over the scars and restore the Madonna's face are never effective—the scars stubbornly remain. It seems they are an integral part of the image. The scars also recall the often difficult and heroic history of the people of Poland.
@deetoo I absolutely love this connection! I had not thought of it. It is really meaningful for the current situation. Yes, so much cultural overlap between Poland and Ukraine and lots of spiritual power and devotion there, esp. Marian devotion. Thanks for bringing that up. I especially love that my dream brought a sense of peacefulness to you. I felt that as well during the dream - very peaceful and calm.
@deetoo there is also another black Modonna in Spain called Our Lady of Montserrat, many pilgrims go there every year. I have always wanted to go. I also have wanted to go to Lourdes too, and also explore other spiritual places in Europe. What got me interested in it all and also the Lady of Fatima was the miracles and the hope some of these shrines and places give to people over many years. As someone who has also been struggling with their health, it really opened my eyes to spiritual healing and helped me to feel less alone and really believe in divine work and intervention.
Last night I had a train dream, too. Everything was dark and gray, except for a bright red rose that one of us held. As I and my fellow passengers looked at it, it opened out more and became even more intensely beautiful. It’s beauty was so powerful that it touched the heart and we couldn’t look away.

this seems very significant to the collective energies I have been tracking for the past few weeks/months
@gbs, I love your dream! I posted under Random Predictions about a train vision I had during last week's Circle of Light meditation. I agree with @sistermoon about the collective significance of it.
I had a very strange/funny dream this morning:
I had a dream that I was trapped in an apartment with Putin and another woman. He was hitting on both of us. I did my best to think fast to repel him before he got any ideas about trying something with me. I dumped out the entire contents of my purse onto the floor. This seemed to work because he was very uncomfortable, looked horrified and said he needed to take a shower. I called my husband and told him not to worry, if anyone could keep him at arm’s length it would be me. The other woman and I then started thinking of ideas to stop him from doing any more harm. Then I woke up.
I don’t know what this means if anything but I am very impressed/amused that dumping out the contents of my purse and making a mess had so much power!
I had a weird dream I don’t know if it was a prediction or my paranoia. I was watching a tv program and an old woman psychic was on and said basically the vks will launch a missile into Poland and that will start the last forever war. I had no idea what vks was so I looked it up and it seems like it’s the Russian acronym for the Russian Air Force.
