Peace and Love Vywamus, Periodically, I’ll have dreams about people I’m familiar with, sometimes I know a few of their names, tell them I missed them and give em a hug, but I don’t know them or see them in my waking life. What’s going on? What questions should I be asking? I always in my dreams ask who they are because they are so familiar, but they won’t tell me or smile it off. Much Love, Kelly Mu
Dear Kelly,
As you are aware, these are not your ordinary dreams. They contain significant messages to you from your soul, and from individuals who care about you, to help you along on your path in this lifetime. Some of the “characters” in your dreams are people you have loved, and/or are guides who are working with you. Often you have a sense of recognition of them, even at times when they don’t look exactly like themselves. In general I can say that these are messages of love, guidance and encouragement. And one reason you don’t get answers to your questions in the dreams is that the dream messages are much deeper than can be contained in words.
If you would like to get into more detail regarding these very rich dreams you can do some work with them in waking life. Here’s a suggestion: First, it’s helpful to write these particular dreams down after you wake up, even if you only recall fragments or feelings from them. Then, rather than trying question and answer, which you haven’t found works for you, see if instead you can focus on any one of the persons in the dream. Take time to see what you notice about that person, and how you feel about that person. How does he or she move you or affect you? Write this down…
Then imagine that you move over and “become” that person. Just be that person for a little bit. What is it like to be that person? What feelings do you have for Kelly? Why did you come into her dream? And so on.
Allow whatever comes. Don’t worry about whether you are “accurate.” Just let your heart be free to take in whatever seems to be there. Pay attention to any feelings that come up while you do this and let yourself experience them… And write that down too.
If you “relive” a dream this way in waking life, going back and forth between being yourself, and being the person in the dream, you will be much more open to receiving their message and their energy, and at a level much deeper than your mind. As you get more deeply into this kind of “back and forth” in processing a dream, a dialogue between you and the dream character may evolve (Write it down.), where you actually do get answers to your questions in words. But don’t press for words. Put your attention on the exchange of energy you feel with the person in the dream and you will be much more satisfied with your experience and much more satisfied with any words you do get.
If you choose to give some time to them, these dreams are a wonderful opportunity for you to communicate with guides, with loved ones at the higher levels, and with Spirit. And if you undertake this work I will be sending you some of my energy to help you. It will be an interesting adventure on your path!
Warmly,
Vywamus
