CF's dream diary

Back to School
I was in a new school, and was meeting the teacher of one of the classes- I gave him my experience and the name of my previous teacher (head of a dept. IRL from my college days) and he outlined the classes I was supposed to take.
As I was walking towards the classes I realized I had missed some of the classes already on the day before because of my being unaware. I went to see the teachers and no problem.
Then I got 'home' to find that my partner had taken the 'girls' to where we were supposed to meet, and had left me a list of what I was supposed to bring. I checked and realized I had everything, and started going to wherever we were supposed to meet, and I woke up.

I was in some sort of theater or class. I was in the middle of the lesson when the teachers started talking about the history of the group, stories about the 'founders' of the group or class- when they showed us old pictures my parents both were there, and according to them, they, along with my two aunts (one a 'real' aunt and another one a very close friend of the family who is still living) had started this company/institution. I wanted to tell them that the people in it were my parents, but I felt a bit self-aggrandizing if I did. I woke up in wonderment and still considering whether to let them know who I was.
Since one of my aunts was really in the theatre in her youth, this didn't surprise me about her. But 'knowing' that my parents were also in it (not IRL) was a surprise-a pleasant and proud surprise.

I am not sure if you have read this book, but I found that it was immensely helpful with dream interpretation - It is called 'Inner Work' by Robert Johnson. The book tells us mainly that (hopefully I am not telling you something that you didn't already know) dream images/stories don't usually refer to outside circumstances, only occasionally. Most of the images refer to a part of our own psyche and what that portion would represent to us.

Anyway - I don't want to step on toes as maybe you already have your own method, but I thought that I would try to help out

Tells me you are grounded, you have roots, and you are center stage standing on the shoulders of the family that has gone before you. Hey, it is aggrandizing just as you deserve.

Thanks guys. All info is welcome. Begeegs, I 'already knew that' but I don't always apply what I know to what I experience. A sort of tunnel vision, I expect.
Thanks, Richard.

I am probably the opposite and think that everything pertains to me when some things clearly don't. I think that I dreamed about the World Cup a week ago and saw Brazil winning a game in which the referees were aiding them and the newspapers were in an uproar about it - granted this actually came to pass in reality and had nothing to do with me. Wish I hadn't tried to internalize it and went down to the bookies instead

This morning, last dream:
I was watching a scene, but I wasn't in it. There was a war scene in which a comedian (not well known, or no one I know) was concerned because he had been sent to the front lines. He was thinking (I could 'think' his thoughts as he was thinking them) that it would be ironic for a comedian to go to war and to be killed by another comedian who was also sent to war. I'm not sure if there was another standup comedian in his company or if his thoughts were 'what ifs'. Anyway, in the end of my dream he was thinking that he should kill the other comedian, and before shoooting, he would (as a joke) shout "Voldemort".
As I was waking up, I had the thought that the word 'Voldemort' (in this case) would be akin to the word "Macbeth" for theater folks.
This dream is obviously a pun. A dark pun.

Dreams of the last few days-
2 days ago I was holding a check in my hands. Something we've been trying to sell for years now. I was happy in it.
3 or 4 dreams last night
In one I went to the Dr. I was pregnant, and I was given a test. I then, instead of going back to the waiting room I went to a beach that was in the back of the office. I was getting ready to go in the water when a nurse called me back in, the Dr. had bad news- the baby in my belly had no signs of life, and I would miscarry. I began to ask what would happen next, and I woke up.
Later dream- back at the same doctor's office, only now he tells me that my cancer came back and I don't have long. I'm ok with this, I start planning how I'm going to spend the days instead of thinking of the final outcome. I wake up.

Wow - this is quite interesting. When i have had baby images it was usually in conjunction with a portion of my psyche being born, but it was usually in meditation rather than a dream. It would be interesting to know what happened beforehand to know what the baby represented. The water for me is always the unconscious, however, for you it may be different. So some part of you is preventing you from getting to the unconscious?

The cancer one is equally interesting because this suggests that a portion of your psyche is eating away at the self potentially? As cancer is generally a negative thing and you previous dream also involving a doctor, I wonder if the baby is actually the positive thing and the cancer would represent a part of you that is eating away at the other.

Anyway - just my two cents

**CFTraveler** · 17th July 2014, 02:37 PM

I agree with pretty much everything you said there, Begeegs. With a few exceptions. The water image is prevalent in my dreams, and even though it's always meant the unconscious to me too, I usually see it that way when I'm in it- When I'm looking at it it never occurred to me that it has the same meaning (for a long time now) I have to meditate on that some.

Healing

I was going to a doctor appointment-and it seemed that the doctor was ignoring or minimizing some of my symptoms- which were uncontrollable limb twitching and movement. I then went somewhere and was in waiting room, and this woman told me to lie down in a bed- I was expecting some sort of adjustment but she took her clothes off and lay on top of me. I had my eyes shut (expecting a 'traditional' treatment) so when I opened them I was surprised not only because she was naked but because I couldn't feel her, it's as if she were a hologram. I lay there expecting something sexual to happen but I realized there was nothing sexual in what she was doing- she was manipulating or scanning my whole body at the same time. Then she got up (or rather, jumped up, fully clothed again) and said I had "Acer Palsy", which she explained was a tendon or nerve on my back that had been damaged and was causing the problems. I then expected her to say what needed to be done but then I woke up.
I'm pretty sure this doesn't exist but I'm going to look it up anyway, bc I suspect it's a pun of some sort.
