1. Anxiety Dream

"Big Wave Tragedy"

I dreamt I was walking along a harbor (or cliff top). Looking down on one beach, I saw my granddad playing with my nieces. By the time I turned the corner to the next little beach, there was a huge freak wave crashing over the road. I turned and ran back to my granddad and went into the water looking for my nieces. As I helped children out of the water, some ok and some dead, my eldest daughter floated up next to me stone-cold dead, in her school summer dress, hair streaming behind her. With that I woke up screaming and sobbing. What does it mean? Please answer. Dreamer

Dear Dreamer:  I can understand how terrifying this dream must be for you, but I can assure you that it is not precognitive. In other words, it is not saying this is going to happen. In dreams, big waves like that symbolize a great emotional upheaval that has either recently happened or is about to happen.

The fact that your grandfather is in the dreams could mean several things. If he is alive and part of the family, it may have something to do with him. Or it may refer to something connected with things he's involved with now, or something that he has been involved in the past. Another possibility is that, in the past, you saw some kind of emotional upheaval in the family devastate him and your dream is using that as a symbol. Also, it could be showing you that you need to be very involved when the children are with your grandfather. In other words, you may not want to leave the children with him unless someone else is around. Maybe he's not as able as he was in the past, or maybe he could be forgetful, or not pay close enough attention. The water in the dream is emotion. Since the dream showed you the children's hair -- hair means thoughts or mindsets, your dream is showing that the children will be effected mentally, too.

Keep watching your dreams for more information about what you're being shown in this dream. The purpose of dreams is to give you helpful information. Often when you examine a dream as carefully as we have you'll find other dreams coming to tell you more. If you want to get more involved in working with you dreams, keep watching the our site.

Your dreams can help you live a happy, fulfilled, prosperous and safe life. Hope this helps. Sweet dreams.


2. Business Dream

"Loose Grapes for Sale" (from the book  Guidance from Your Dreams)

I am a woman starting up a new business. In my dream, I am carrying a simple corrugated cardboard box, about one-foot square, into which I have put loose grapes (stripped from their stems). I am walking among a group of people, asking if anyone would like to buy some grapes. To some people I simply ask, "Would you like some?" Only a few people decide to sample any. They are red grapes. Dreamer

Dear Dreamer: The dream speaks to limitation. The produce for sale is boxed in a cheap-looking container. Sales are further limited by the small box, grapes sold individually rather than in bunches, and by the sales pitch, "Want some?," which could mean you're giving them away. The dream suggests you're selling yourself short. Your approach is small grapes and not selling. Your energy (red) is scattered and loose. You're selling out if not giving yourself away.

If selling "on the street" isn't working, consider going after a more selective group of customers, in larger quantity, with wares more attractively displayed. [NOTE: The dream reinforced the dreamer's efforts to launch a new business, which involved researching manufacturing techniques, setting goals, seeking a market niche and becoming more visible.]

Hope this helps.


3. Health Dream

"Pains From Falling Teeth and Legs"

This dream is a bit strange. I am always dreaming about all of my teeth falling out, and that is all that happens except I can feel all the pain! Also sometimes in this dream I get ran over by a car and I can feel it hitting my legs. Also during the day when I cross a road I can envision a car hitting me on my legs! Please help me understand what these dreams are all about! Thank you. Dreamer

Dear Dreamer: Your dream of teeth falling out is a very common dream with everyone. It usually means that you are being careless with what you are saying to others. Teeth are words and you say yours are causing pain, very real pain. Try to watch what you are saying to others and try to identify what words are causing such hurt.

The dream with the car running over your legs is about trying to understand more about yourself. Cars in a dream are your drives and motivations. You are seeing in your dream that they can become overwhelming. They can get out of control, or reflect carelessness or going too fast, overrunning your understanding. Legs in a dream are symbols of your "understanding." By becoming hurt, they may not be as useful to you. Also, legs represent steps that you can take and maybe this option is being taken away by carelessness.

I hope this helps. Keep watching you dreams. Your dreams can help you build a happy, successful and prosperous life


4. Historical Dream (Past Era, Reincarnation?)

"The Castle"

I ride a horse through foothills and grass, following another companion on horseback well ahead. It is some ancient age. I am looking out for an ambush. I thoroughly enjoy the riding experience in the outdoors. I am a knight, but without armor, young, and possibly part of an invading army. A castle appears suddenly, well hidden in the rocks. It has 20-ft. high thin metal doors, rusted, with no lock. Is it Russian? I enter, the door easily opening into high-ceiling rooms. Soon, we're joined by the rest of our party, including ladies, who quickly make themselves at home. Food and drink are served. One remarks on the poor times the local people have fallen into. I roam through the rooms, and discover another identical pair of doors on the far side of the castle. I open one a fraction and see a guard outside. An enemy soldier? I quietly close the door and retreat, believing that I wasn't seen. Later that night, looking out a paneless castle window, I see many horses
running by beneath the moonlight and am enthralled. Nonetheless, I wonder if this is a trap. Dreamer.

Dear Dreamer - The dream tells you of circumstances entering your present-day life, which, as the ancient Chinese say, offer elements of opportunity and possible risk. If you believe in past lives, a current situation in your present-day life has triggered, has connected you with something that you faced before in this life. Or in a past one! However, whether or not you are into reincarnation, the dream messages remain the same.

You are involved or soon will be in an exciting undertaking, an adventure. It involves others who support you. It possibly has you returning to something, a project for example, that had been abandoned, possibly by you. What confronts you appears, at the moment, friendly, large, open, in disrepair but repairable. You are cautious, and be so! Whether your dream and no doubt real-life fears and concerns are grounded or not, you are vulnerable. Improve your defenses. You are curious, and be so. Find out more, not only about the structure and organization and people presently involved, but beyond the castle walls, explore who and what surrounds it. What is presently outside is connected to your endeavor, your goal, and will become involved with and affected by it. If this is a business undertaking, you have the support of companions, but discover for yourself what is and isn't. Learn for yourself if the financial prospects are indeed poor, if you are in hostile territory, and, if so, if you can make it into friendly territory. Do not overly rely on your companions for support, as they too seem vulnerable, not well protected either, and not that well experienced with all the surroundings. What you independently discover and do will benefit all.

You could well be back in your castle of dreams and hopes. Work is ahead of you, as said, to shore up your defenses, learn the lay of the land, etc. Your attitude may determine if you will overly wall yourself in, or, with in a more balanced approach, plug up the gaps while establishing a rapport with the local populace, assisting and being assisted, the mark of a good business or a good friend. The expansive doors have you off to a good opening.

The horses, now running free without rein, point to powerful energies associated with your new venture. They also point to the critical importance of a healthy balance point, difficult to achieve, let alone maintain, of controlled power. This is a point that allows your animal self - your more instinctual, more basic animal drive -- to run, to exercise, but not become reckless, not panic, not stampede. What seems essential to harness, yet maximize this energy, are reins and their minimal use. Take care that your enthusiasm, your emotions, do not run away with you. Lots of potential here.

A good adventure awaits, it would appear. Good luck. Hope this helps.


5. Nature Dream

"Dip With Manatees"

I am at a beach with my mom. As we walk into the water I notice that it gets really deep, deep enough to cover up to my waist. As I look down I see all these little gray things swimming around. Just then I realize that these little things are baby manatees and I scoop one up. A few seconds later I get scared and let it back into the water. It swims behind me and grabs on to my upper thigh, I quickly swat it off and take another step deeper into the water.

As I am looking out, I see a bigger manatee (about the size of me) swimming along the shore to my left. I look at my mom and tell her that I want to swim with the bigger one. At the exact same time it comes out of the water and looks like a humpback whale. I thought that this was very strange so I put on my goggles to look at it underwater while doing this. I see that it is normal. There are no barnacles on its back or a spout coming out if its head. It's just a cute manatee that I spend the rest of the day swimming with. Dreamer

Dear Dreamer: Your dream is telling you about the new life you are discovering at school. Up until you had the dream, you had been wading into things gradually, not just plunging in headlong. But at a certain point you discover a new life you hadn't realized was there. At first it is just the small things that got your attention. One of these you were able to shake off because it seemed to cling on to you. Soon you discover a more adult world is available to you. You first check it out to make sure that it is not overwhelming (the whale) and you learn that it is perfectly normal. Having left your Mom on the beach, you move out to enjoy your new life signaling her what you were going to do. From then on, it is very, very enjoyable. Your dream is saying that you've done a wonderful job of adapting to the new life at school. You've taking it slow, checking out what is right for you and keeping in touch with home. Since it was at the beach, it deals with the experience. Water is a symbol for life's experience as well as representing emotions. Your dream is showing that that you've approached the new life and all the emotions that accompany that new life, in a very exemplary way.

Hope this helps.


6. Other Reality Dream (Future, Psychic, Fantasy)

"The Three Wishes" 

In a dream in which I knew I was dreaming, I flew rapidly over an ancient forest of tall trees to a large castle in excellent condition. I flew through the thick stone, and again rapidly, down a long empty passage way, stone-lined, that dead-ended in another wall, which I flew through into a room. It had a high ceiling, a rug covering the entire floor, and at one end on a podium, an altar. Several fresh torches in wall holders provided illumination. It was otherwise empty. No people, no symbols, no furniture. I instantly sensed that I should lie down on my back, close my eyes and make three wishes. I did, asking for the healing of two ailments, and something else not remembered. I knew that they were granted. That's all I remembered. Dreamer

Dear Dreamer: Your dream is showing you that you are able to connect with the past, which holds the key to your current situation. Dreams in which the dreamer is flying can mean several things: 1) that you are overcoming the more mundane things of daily life; 2) that the flying is a way of escaping what you are currently facing, 3) flights of fantasy, 4) that you are relying on the mental rather than physical things (air vs. earthly travel), letting your mind carry you rather than taking steps you need to travel on earth, and 5) that you hold aspirations or ideals.

In this dream, you show that the entire situation is very easy for you. It comes naturally (as seen by the forest, etc.). The castle could symbolize "regency," since the lord or ruler usually has the castle. It could also symbolize the "better world" we often associate with medieval times when castles were needed to protect the land. Or, it could mean magic, fairy tales, etc., that often are analogies for the dreamers' emotions. The green carpet could be a sign of growth and healing.

In the dream you said that you "knew" you should lie down and make 3 wishes. This could be telling that you need to lie down more, especially if a portion of the things that you are facing involve working, or strenuous activity. Again, this "knowing" could be that you are using the mental rather than the five senses of gaining information by the physical way of seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling, touching. The torches that light the room say that part of the clarity comes from fire, which a teacher of mine insists means "justification". The lack of
other furniture, etc.,  means that this is a fairly basic approach, without many trappings.

"Knowing" that the 3 wishes were granted is an important key to the dream because it requires you to believe in things that you can't see and can't explain - the mystery of things -- in order to realize the healing of the two ailments. It is significant that you can't remember the third wish because with this you'll have to continue your life with blind faith until you either recall your wish or it is shown to you through other memories, dreams or reflections.

See if you can remember what was going on when you had this dream. Then try to identify which of the flying meanings listed above you think would be the appropriate one. Or, you may want to try each of the meanings of flying dreams and see how they fit your current mode of operating.

Then, watch your dreams. Your dreams will help you build a healthy, prosperous and fulfilled life.  Hope this helps.


7. Relationship Dream

"The Haircut"

While I was in Acapulco, my girlfriend back home got a haircut that looked like it did when she was in fifth grade. When I returned from the trip, I saw her hair, and I was shocked. I didn't show my disappointment, and I told her it looked good. The next day, her hair was back to normal, and I was relieved. Dreamer

Dear Dreamer: Your dream is telling you about your relationship with your current girlfriend. It is showing you that at times, perhaps when you go away, she starts acting childish and immature. See if you can identify exactly what it is referencing. "When you going away" could mean that at times you pull away from her. Ask yourself if you are in some way changing something about you that brings about a change in her. Since this is a haircut, the dream is telling you that it is a mental attitude. Or, it could be a "cutting off" or "shortening" of her attention to you and cuts back to a juvenile way of relating to you. If you've actually been to Acapulco, see if that is a signal of the last time this happened. What did you do there? What did she do at home? If not, see if you can uncover what "Acapulco" means to you. It is "going south", "south of the border," which could mean beyond previous boundaries, or it could be "taking it easy, relaxing, as in vacation," etc. Your dream also is showing that you deal with this change in a non-confrontational way and it quickly changes back to your normal, current relatedness. Not necessarily honest, but maybe wise. You'd be the best judge of that.

Hope this helps.


8. Transition Dream (Birth, Death, Dying, Dead)

"On the Trail Again"

A month or two after the death of my good friend Oscar, a lover of hiking and Nature, 
 I dreamed that I saw him in the distance and from above, as if through the eyes of an eagle. He was alone, walking happily along a high desert mountain trail, with his customary hiking staff in hand.  This was the first of five dreams I have had about him. Dreamer.

Dear Dreamer: Dreams of loved ones who have died are very important dreams. They give us a glimpse of the "other side" and a clue to the mystery of what happens after death. They can also depict the scope of our relationship with that person and reflect our feeling about them.

In the dream of your friend, it is a type of "far focusing" from a very high level. The eagle is a symbol for the love center as well as a emblem of our country. You are seeing him from the air, or from a mental rather than a physical encounter where you could greet him. This could be a picturalization of his love of freedom, a wish which you're honoring rather than to "suddenly" appear on the trail in front of him and interrupt his journey. His walking stick confirms that he has the support he needs to go on ahead. This support could be the love and prayers of his friends as well has his own spiritual development and his mental realizations about the nature of birth and death.

Compare this with the other dreams you've had of Oscar and see if there is a progression of your understanding and of his own progression in his journey.

Dreams of loved ones who have died are blessings to those who mourn and a great comfort to all who knew this person. Be sure to share it with others who also loved him and encourage them to watch their dreams and share them with you. Family groups find great relief in the dreams that each person has about those who have gone on.

I hope this helps.
