Not Sure- Church Dreams/Experiences
Dream or Projection, so I'll put it here.
I went to bed with some astral sight. I could see my hands through my closed eyelids, but not like regular astral sight. More like looking at fuzzy kirlian photography. I could see tendrils of heatlike energy coming from my hands. Then I clicked out, and went places. The last place I remember going to was: I was in a dark, nordic looking place. We went to a place that looked like the tower of a castle. The place was dangerous when it was dark but normally attended during daytime. (This is a recurring element in other dreams, which makes me think it's a projection into some plane) We went into this tower and there were two churches. I went to the church I prefer but inside it had changed- there were no bibles or any 'sacred' or 'holy' books- all books were bound in black and were occult type of books, like the Necronomicon or books about Necromancy, etc. I was with a group of ladies which regularly go to my church (in the dream, not reality) and they were different, like had 'gone to the dark side' type of thing. Then I realized that the element that made this part of town in the dark (vampyrism or zombielike symptoms)dangerous had overtaken them. I crossed the hall in this tower (or internal part of the castle) and crossed to the other side. Here was a church which was not my church (possibly catholic) and on the inside there were many gilded books, and bibles. The inside of it was white and gold, a stark contrast to 'my' church. So I picked up a bible from the 'gold' church and surreptitiously brought it to 'my' church and left it there, knowing that it would protect and change "my" church back to what it used to be, and for some reason I thought it would be better in the morning. Then I went out with my 'old lady friends' into the scary, dangerous, misty creepy outside, knowing I was protected, and looked at the silver phone that I had in my hand (my whole family had these silver phones that kept us connected wherever we went) and I talked to my hubby and son that were around there, and then I woke up.
Thoughts about this are welcome.
Superduck-Split from Knitting Geese
Last night's dream episode, and I blame Palearse for this one: I was lying in my room, and had to get up to go to the bathroom. On the left of me was a goose (yes, a goose) and every time I tried to get up to go the goose would peck at my (left) hand and (left) foot and I had to fall down on the bed. This went on for a long time and my (dream) husband told me it was some sort of test. I finally woke up for real, of course the goose was gone and I was able to get up to pee. I swear as I walked to the bathroom in my stupor I kept looking for that stupid goose..... :x
There was another incident after that one but I'll look for my other dream and post it there.
Dream interpretation please?
You guys have been doing such a good job interpreting others' dreams, that I'd like for someone to take a crack at one I had recently. Actually it's very simple and I only am having problems interpreting the possible meaning of one of the symbols in it. In one scene I am being given a bolt of red silk and I wear it. It's given to me by a Hindu Guru and I put it on like a sari. Or a robe.
Does anyone know what the meaning of red silk is in the Hindu culture? I don't know if this translates into buddhist culture, if it does at all.
Re: Dream interpretation please?
The garment sounds maybe like a dhoti (a simple garment, very traditional, not unlike a sarong or similar).
The red silk appears to be associated with a number of Hindu deities, including Laksmi, who is often depicted wearing red silk. She's the goddess of wealth, love, beauty, fertility, etc., and is the consort of Vishnu.
Some of that I looked up, but some of it I already knew (I just looked it up for clarity), so I didn't just go on a Google and spit out information at you. :)
Red silk is also worn by Hindu priests.
If I were to guess what the symbol is, I'd say it's a priestly or saintly garment that you're being given. A new stage of spiritual awareness and responsibility, maybe? Does that fit?
Re: Dream interpretation please?
It does, thank you. I guess I'll take a look at the symbolism of Lakshmi.
