What a magical dream!
What do you personally think of thunders? What do they mean to you?
To me it feels like it is a reconnection as well, not only to yourself, but something bigger and your connectivity to it that you strived for. Something along these lines
Wow, thanks for the input!
Hope you are well?
So, actually, thunder is my favorite part of such storms...sure the lightning is cool to watch, but the booms it creates are what I have always loved the most!
Also, I've talked about this before in several places around the forum, but when I was in the first grade I used to go stand under the tall trees on one side of the playground at school.
On a windy day I would throw my arms up into the air (not unlike the dream) and try to conduct the wind.
And at the time, I could swear that it listened, lol.
I don't know that that was the reality of it, or the imagination of a small child, but it seemed that the wind would play with me.
I didn't feel I could control it necessarily, but rather it chose to move with the whims of my arms, rushing through the leaves on the trees.
I've always loved "violent" storms!
Maybe because it really never rained where I grew up?
Or maybe something deeper?
When our neighborhood was hit with that F1 tornado a few years back, it literally missed us by one house!
(It took out part of our back fence though)
I have to agree...it does feel that something has reconnected!
It feels like the magic that was subdued for the past year somehow returned along with my dreams just over this past week.
Thank you for you thoughts on the strange vision!
Much love!
It's likely that someone else's thoughts about a dream like this say more about them than you - but even so I'll have a go .......
This feels like a 'Great Dream' to me, full of archetypal symbols, which is underlined by the fact that your unconscious made sure you remembered it. It's a Dark Crystal dream. As I get older, I realise that our lives go in cycles where we send parts of ourselves off into the unknown then every 10 years or so (or whatever) we all come back together again and re-integrate the new experience with the old us.
The dream You is your conscious self, and you feel you have the power, but your friend with the lightning is more powerful / primal - thunder is caused by lightning. The chasing game between you symbolises the way you and your deep inner self perceive and respond to each other - and it's a little competitive, but harmonious and playful too, which is wonderful. You listen to and play with the spirits - and maybe challenge them a bit lol.
The hospital represents your whole psyche and your life experience to date, and the four sided courtyard symbolises where your whole core inner being is located - a sign of completeness, wholeness of your person. You are a healer, born that way - to your core. The third friend completes the trinity and brings blessed rain - an outpouring of released tension, a symbol of psychic reunification in preparation for the next cycle. The three of you together are the real deep you - your consciousness is just one partner in that trinity, and not the leading partner.
But this is me talking - you need to ponder on what I've said and see if it feels 'right' because I may just be projecting myself onto the symbols.
Much love my friend
Thanks John!
That's a really cool interpretation with a lot to think about, I appreciate the time you took to think about it and respond.
(And thanks for the likes as well!)
Yes!
I can see much of what you are talking about, it makes sense that my conscious self (ego-self) would feel that I "won" the melee we were having fun with!
lol
And yes, you are right that there is no thunder without the lightning...it was a contest of sorts (or maybe just in my ego monkey mind), but it was all done in good fun, we were playing off of the other, pushing the limit further each time which only made it more spectacular - and there was no "winner", that seemed to never really be the point, haha.
So maybe he's my subconscious?
My super-ego?
Is the rain man (hehe) my Id then?
Hmmmm?
I do find it also interesting that we were a trinity - in fact a few pages back when I asked
@Sandie33 about some numbers I kept seeing, she actually boiled it all down to the number 3 and told me to look out for it.
(Thanks again Sandie )
The hospital seems a bit obvious doesn't it, lol, it was a really cool building, I think I'm going to try and draw a very rudimentary sketch of some of the portions I can remember well.
It's so bizarre having my dreams return such as they have...it's not that I wasn't dreaming, but rather I couldn't remember them to save my life.
Only very occasionally would I remember a bit or piece, but it was usually out of context and was hard to make any sense of.
Last Saturday night, they returned with a vengeance!
I have no explanation other than it does feel like I said above, that something reconnected that was not for a while for whatever reason?
Dark crystal dream - that's a cool description!
Yes the other two seemed to know me very well and I knew them just as well, so the idea of them being aspects of myself makes lots of sense.
The rain was fantastic btw!
Even though we were sitting on the cement ground, it was as relaxing as a steam room kind of, haha.
Who would the security guard be then?
Maybe that's the asshole part of my ego, lmao.
I ignored him and ditched him very easily.
Speaking of my dreams returning - this very morning I had another strange experience.
It could be written off as a hypnopompic hallucination, but then again, maybe not?
I was just getting ready to get out of bed, in fact, I had just rolled over and stretched but still had my eyes closed.
It felt as if one of our cats jumped up on the bed, and walked over to me, sitting down in front of me, I could feel the eyes on me.
This is a common occurrence, our cat Mishi likes to stare at you in bed like that, lol.
But then, I thought - the door to the bedroom is closed because S had gotten up already (I was awake at 4 until my pain subsided and went back to bed to try and sleep a bit more) so it couldn't be one of the cats.
I popped my eyes open and there was nothing there...I dismissed it, however, as soon as I closed my eyes again, I could feel the stare on me still.
Then I not only felt, but heard, the blankets depressing as if a cat were walking up to my face, it stopped, then walked around the back of my head on my pillow which I could feel and hear too!
Once it made it to the side table I turned my head over really fast only to see nothing - keep in mind the sun was up and the room was not that dark either.
I never felt scared or fearful...maybe it was a past cat of mine...idk...maybe it was in my head...it was very realistic though!
I told S and she got freaked out, but I knew she would haha.
It was definitely a cat!
Maybe a ghost cat, maybe a hallucinatory cat, lol, but it was a cat.
Anyhow, can I just say how wonderful it is to have my dreams return to me!
Thank you again for the interpretation!
Your grandchildren are such beautiful little angels!!
Lots of love to you all!
