Here's the thread @SisterMoon, you said you wanted to start. Thanks for the idea. ❤️
The other night I had a dream that was definitely of the "message bearing" variety. I don't have questions about the meaning of the dream, as that was crystal clear. (It was a personal dream, not anything that had to do with the world at large.)
In the dream, however, I asked a question and received a direct and immediate response: "Soon."
I found it surprising because this is a question I had wanted to ask for awhile but I am very poor at controlling myself in the dream state. So the fact that I was able to do so is notable, first and foremost, especially since it seemed to happen so quickly.
At any rate, my question to all of you is: How do you define "soon" from a spiritual standpoint? I'm not expecting 'soon' on a human scale - even though I'd like 'soon' to mean 'in the next week,' my feeling is that it could be several weeks, but likely not several months. That's just my feeling though, and I'm just curious to know how others would define it.
I rarely have such direct dreams so I always try to ponder all angles when I do :)
Thanks, all.
@sistermoon Thanks for posting this question and any other spiritual questions which are just so much fun to ponder.
I don't know if what I'm going to say will help you, but here goes. When I get a vision or dream, I also get a sense of timing which is not always perfect but close. It's an energy feeling, not dates or time explained in the human sense of time, like days, weeks, years. But a felt sense of how close the vision or event is to me.
Back in 1985 famous psychics were saying the seas were going to rise and flood 20 feet inland in 1987. I had a dream that I was on Cape Cod and I was nervous about the tumultuous waves around me. Then a voice came in and said, "This is not going to happen now." I took that to mean it would not happen during any time frame I might worry about.
So if I got "Soon" as you did, I'd search my own feeling of what "soon" means regarding that particular vision, again, in an energy or expectation sense. Would months feel like soon or weeks or days? Apologies if this answer is not helpful.
The only other way I could help would be to give you an actual reading and throw cards and get my own felt sense of it.
Thank you so much for starting this thread, @jeanne-mayell!
When I had the dream, I immediately sensed 'soon' to be a matter of several weeks - but beyond that, I had no clearer sense. I guess if I had to pin down a time I might say any time between now and October? Although I'm not sure what makes me say this.
I thought it would be interesting to know how others define that in a message or vision (not so much as it would pertain to my dream, just in general) - but I see your point that it often needs to be intuited by the person receiving the message and that there is no 'one size fits all' kind of answer.
I'll let you know if (and, if so, when!) my 'soon' comes to fruition!
This will probably be viewed as being very negative, but for myself, if/when I hear "soon" in the context of a dream or vision, I always feel like spirit is just playing with me. Kind of like when you ask your mom or dad for something, and they say "We'll see". In my experience, it's a kind of non-answer that lets them pretend they answered you without actually doing so. It also tends to give people what I would call unreasonable hope that something is coming.
If I hear "soon" in a vision, reading, or dream, I automatically assume that whatever I asked about either 1) isn't going to happen at all, 2) it's something that they don't want to tell me, or 3) that it's irrelevant and not something I need to be concerned about.
That's interesting! I've been told before that I was asking the wrong question or focusing on something irrelevant. I'm not sure if that applies here, but I'll definitely give it some thought.
Of course, I'll know one way or another -- it'll either happen or it won't. It's the waiting to find out that's hard. ?
@sistermoon I have heard the word “soon” when I question when something will happen. Usually, it’s an event that I’ve been eagerly anticipated and I’ve learned that “soon” does not mean instantaneous or within hours or days. It usually means in the near future and I’ve found it to be accurate in that sense.
Lately my dreams have been more vivid and about people I know. I don't always remember the whole message,but try to put bits and pieces together. They have become positive and uplifting mostly. I used to have scary nightmares often.Recently, my husband and I have started a plant based diet for health reasons and environmental. My dream was of us climbing a mountain and he arrived ahead of me ( he is a bit older ) to celebrate turning 100yr. in full health ! Spirit was trying to tell me this is the right path. On another note- I saw Trump in meditation as a shriveled up raisin..... that describes him perfectly !
@Molly I loved your post, and was interested in your feeling so much healthier on a plant-based diet. Keep us posted on how that goes. And what you are eating. We should start a plant-based diet thread with recipes. When I got to the end about the raisin, I burst out laughing.
Hello all!
I wasn't sure where to post this, but figured this thread was a good one. (@jeanne-mayell if you know of a better place, feel free to move!) This is about deja vu and getting back on the right(?) path.
So I am sitting here listening to Jeanne's interview with Trey Downes (great stuff!) and having a bit of deja vu. I used to get deja vu more often when I was younger, but it has been absent for the most part for years.
However, just in the last week or so, our little family has been working through some difficult things with our kids/family dynamic and mental health and *finally* hit a positive turning point. We are cautious, but moving forward in a good direction after being stuck in the same pattern for years. And during the stress of that turning point, I had several instances of intense deja vu.
This reminded me of when I switched jobs to my current job (that I have been in for 16 years and still love it) and the intense deja vu I had when I was going through my training at the new job. It was like, "I am supposed to be here, in this moment."
So my question is, have any of you experienced that sort of thing in your own lives? Like if you feel like maybe you were struggling through a part of your life and finally get through it or to a sort of resolution and the deja vu comes? That is is maybe some sort of confirmation that you perhaps wound your way through life back to a path you are supposed to be on?
Curious to hear your thoughts and experiences!
