Something is communicated to me but I do not really understand it. I had never before any animal dreams. Now I have an entire zoo if I count it all together.
Some dreams or events, all very recent:
- I am before the cage of our green budgie deceased long ago (80ies). He looks at me as if to ask for help (he has shortly a human face then) while lying on the cage floor with a kind of broken or twisted pair of legs. I try to help him but do not know exactly how and first position him, then try to fetch some help but get back again only to note that he has gone. I ask where he is and a voice says 'a place which I did not even know of that it existed'.
- I asked my Higher Self for any specific purpose I might have had for coming here into this life (will write a dream programming thread on it soon). One possible answer in one night (I asked it in two) was as song: I saw and heard a performance of a singer with "Bungalow Bill" by the Beatles. I had a hard time finding out the song which is indeed on the White Album. I skipped through the songs, thankfully, the tune was catchy enough to recognise it without being able to remember any detailed lyrics from the dream. I am not a great Beatles fan at all and have not heard this album too often, but did once recently. The contents in short: It's about a kind of 'yuppie' guy who comes to an ashram but instead of meditating goes on a tiger hunt traditionally on elefants' backs. Lennon then blames him for life-destructive behaviour. Two possible interpretations, rather metaphorically as I am definitely not a yuppie: 1. I should meditate more instead of "killing tigers" with my thoughts (metaphorically), and yes, I am still too bad at shutting off thoughts! 2. The animal theme again: I should do sth for animals' lives protection or care. Indeed ... In following dreams tigers and elephants reappeared again - see below!
- I am sitting in a forest before an enclosure with deer, looking peacefully at the lovely animals. One of the keepers or animal caretakers, a woman, comes up to me and talks to me. I do not remember anything of the conversation but it was about me joining their work team. Then there is a another group with horses joining that corral. They seem to struggle with the other group, but it is more of a fun game they do. Some of the deer also leave the caged area and come up to me, as if naturally.
- This is not from a dream but from a recent projection:I checked the letter combinations (E,L,B,K) on that probable 'future self's' shirt for reasonable words and (not mentioned there) another word I came up was immediately was "Keleb". I knew somehow subconsciously that it was 'somehting biblical' and I was right: it's amongst other things a Hebrew word for ... "dog".
- I am in a kind of lab or animal shelter inside. There we do sth with cats or baby tigers (!). There are some kitten tigers, but also a female mother tiger that puts her head out of the cage she is in and seems almost to friendly huddle against my leg or knee. I do not remember more of the dream.
- In tonight's dream, I am out for a jogging tour in the forest. I turn around as there comes up trampling behind me a herd of elephants (!). For my own safety I leave the track and "hide" a few metres inside the forest (conifers) to let the herd pass me by. However, some of the smaller kid elefants deviate from the herd and join me trustfully (like the deer and the tiger mother did, too, in the other dreams). So we sit there together waiting for the herd to pass. I pet some of the animals and note there are not just little elephants but other furry animals, maybe cats or mice or hamsters. When the heard has passed I lead them all out of the woods again onto the forest path. There is a man (iirc he wears a suit and I for some reason compare him to a kind of hotel portier) who thanks me and takes over the little animals. There is a last one on a leash of which I say 'this is mine' but then I note it is my mp3 player (I use for meditating with hemi-sync), the "leash" being the cable and the "animal" just the player being dragged along on the ground.
Ok, so what the heck is going on? All are VERY recent experiences. Before that, almost no animals in my dreams.
Should I buy a dog or a cat? Should (since I seek a new job anyway) apply for job with an animal care/protection/rights company? Should I become an animal healer? I rule out any power animal / totem revelations, since there are too many different animals appearing.
Or is it a hint for developing better meditation skills? The meditation ashram and my mp3 player (mistaken for an "animal") hint to this possibility.
But why are the animals really 'seeking to be close to me' now, as the tiger, deer, elephants and other little furries did?
Anyone any idea or similar experiences with dream animals?
