@starpath and all light working friends,
i read through your dream - your description and detail made me feel I was there with you :-)
i thought your analysis was very good and it felt correct to me. When you detailed the girl riding a horse with you, her eyes and tears made me think of immigrants. It felt like the girl on the horse and the real life experience with neighbor girl that was raped are somehow connected. Maybe back to immigrants and/or poor people having it worse during the pandemic. In our waking life it feels like (at times) no one cares about these people getting sick and no one is protecting them. It must feel so sad for people in need to feel so unwanted. The parallel road does seem like it has to do with life changing and many not wanting that.
Thank you for your very descriptive dream...our sleeping world is fascinating.
I sort of felt reluctant to post this dream and waited a couple of weeks after I had it because it tied so much into some of my fears from my childhood and teenage years. That girl who was raped had a very difficult family situation and was sort of left to fend for herself. She was in some ways very damaged before the rape. I felt her mother was emotionally abusive and she had no father at home. I agree with you the young woman on the horse does tie in with the girl that was raped, but I haven't yet understood what that means, maybe your suggestion is right--it is those forgotten ones who need love and help the most that do seem to suffer the most. I think that is probably the meaning. You are very insightful Tiger-n-Owl!!
Just to add on more thought I had. It could be that the old paradigm to let so many people who need help fend for themselves could change to a paradigm where we actively seek out suffering to alleviate it before it festers into more suffering. Is this paradigm shift in the collective consciousness waiting to become the new normal? When could humanity be ready for this? It is perhaps too close to socialism for the Republicans and so it can't exist in their world view. Trump leads the US to more selfish worldviews, "US first", anti-immigration, etc. He and his followers would keep us in the dark paradigms forever if they could, as long as they themselves are wealthy...
Humanity is trying to shift as a collective away from this unconscious selfishness that is destroying the planet. We do need this shift or we will suffer until it happens.
Last weekend I had another dream that was followed by a real life synchronicity. I dreamt that I walked from my parents' side yard into the back yard, and there were two young bears romping around. One of them ran up to me and started trying to lick me, like a dog. I was both excited and frightened: "Bears? Here? In this part of Connecticut?" So I edged along towards the back door and jumped inside before the bear tried to interact with me further. Inside, I looked at a computer screen and saw a digital representation of the neighborhood overlaid with a service that tracks tagged bears. It turned out a whole troupe of tagged bears was ambling through the neighborhood. That was the dream.
I'm sheltering with my parents in coastal Connecticut in a dense suburban town. Although we have our fair share of deers, turkey, and even occasional coyotes, bear sightings are unheard of. But I guess Bear Spirit must have been communicating with me, because a few days after that dream, I was reading the local paper and found out two bears had been spotted in town in the previous week; one of them was caught on camera by a woman while he sniffed around her family's backyard.
One more example of how COVID-19 lockdowns are opening up more space for wildlife. It's been a long, long time since bears roamed coastal Connecticut, so I don't mind sharing pasture with "bruin."
Ok wonderful community, I was hoping you could perhaps shed some light on some dreams I've been having for the past few months.
I'd say these dreams started two or three months ago, and I have, on average, about one a week. The specifics and locations of the dreams are all different, but they are all the same in that they involve an old friend of mine, someone I lost touch with about twenty years ago. They are also the same in that, in each one, we are trying to communicate with one another. In the last dream, I believe we were successful, but I cannot remember what we said.
I'm curious - is it possible I am meant to get in contact with this person? (If so, I wouldn't know how, as they have no online/social media presence at all.) Is it possible for two people to reach out to one another in dreams? (This is a little too much, even for me ? )
I have tried asking for guidance about the nature of these dreams and have even thrown some cards about them, but each reading differs from the others. (One reading basically told me I was being silly; another told me there actually is something to these dreams, after all.)
If I hadn't been having these dreams so frequently over the past few months, I wouldn't have given them much thought.
At any rate -- just curious what you all think, or if you've ever heard of something similar.
(Uh oh - just realized I might have posted this in the wrong thread. If so, my apologies!)
I'm curious about how you lost touch with this person. Did it happen gradually "because of life," or was there an argument? Or are there things you just want this person to know that you never got a chance to say?
I've had similar dreams, about a former best friend I had a sudden falling out with 13 years ago. I realized that interacting with the friend in dream space was enough for me to deal with my unfinished business with him; i never had to contact him in real life. Perhaps you could try to induce lucid dreaming so that you interact with this friend more fully? How did you feel waking up from that last dream where you two were able to talk to each other?
We lost contact just because of life. I graduated from college in 2000; no one had cell phones, social media profiles, or really any real way of staying in contact with one another. (There was email, but we considered that only for work purposes, really.)
We never had a falling out, but this was someone who was very pivotal to my personal growth and who I considered a great friend. I miss having this person in my life, really.
Re: the last dream (the one in which we were able to speak), I woke up happy-ish. I was glad we were able to speak but also sad that it wasn't "real." Also, I can't remember what we said, just that we were finally able to finally communicate. But I didn't wake up with a sense of completion, if that makes sense.
I've been trying the lucid dreaming bit, have yet to make any real progress there.
No, you're on the right thread.
I believe your dream means you both want to get back in touch. Would that be difficult to just try and see what happens? Or was it a friendship that was tied to its place and time and therefore no longer viable?
Edit: I hadn't seen your reply to @coyote - YES I believe you should try to get in touch and I think your friend feels the same way. Let us know if it works out!
I would love to get in touch, but have no idea how -- cannot locate any sort of phone number or address online and no social media profiles, either.
And I'm pretty skilled at what I call "Scooby Doo missions" so I consider myself an excellent investigator! ? ? ?
Time will tell -- I'll keep you updated if there are any developments!
There are websites that can help, you might have to pay $20-30, but they're pretty accurate. Also, if you went to school together you might be able to relay a message through the school. If your friend is/was a professional that requires a license or membership in a professional organization (doctor, lawyer, therapist, etc.) that's another way to find them. Churches also keep member directories, and while they won't give out personal info, again you might be able to relay your info to them so they can contact you.
Good luck!
