Many people are experiencing more vivid dreams lately, so I am republishing an old 2011 article of mine from ezinearticles on how to interpret your dreams. I am aware that humanity is going through an intense period of awakening, and one of the ways that Spirit speaks to you and guides you through this awakening is through your dreams.

My last blog post focused on remembering your dreams. You might want to read that post first, and follow the tips in it. Once you are able to remember your dreams, you will want to interpret them, and understand them better. So, what are the keys to understanding your dreams?

The main key to understanding your dreams involves strengthening the relationship you have with your higher self and cultivating a deeper, clearer, and more real relationship with that inner part of you. If you are like most people, you probably paid little attention to your “higher self” as you learned to fit in and play your role in society. (No worries about that though; there is a point to everyone playing their role, which we will learn in due time.)

But now, at this time of the Great Awakening, becoming more conscious of your higher self and confident in that inner connection is the key. This inner connection will become super valuable and important, especially when you see societal systems collapsing around you, and you see that you can no longer rely on them. Let’s put it this way: the time ahead will be A LOT easier for you if you are confident in your connection with your higher self (your direct connection to God) and experience regular confirmation of that connection.

Anyway, back to interpreting our dreams. I have previously shared that before I reconnected to my higher self, I was not good at remembering my dreams and had a hard time interpreting them. (I would remember, maybe, only the last parts of my dreams.) But after I became more connected to my higher self, my dreams became clearer and more vivid. Also, I could remember details about them that I considered relevant to what was happening in my life at the time.

The following is an example of a dream I had in 2005. I include this dream here because it has some significance to the time of awakening that we are going through right now. The following dream is an excerpt from my spiritual awakening memoir:

“At the end of January 2005, I awakened from a dream where I was scrambling across a craggy landscape that looked like the aftermath of a mountain explosion. Large boulders and slabs lay all around me in disarray, as though they had fallen from the sky. Crevices wide enough to fall through stymied your path; you had to watch your every move. I was stepping through the wreckage, hopping from boulder to boulder, headed towards a city that looked like ancient Rome. When I entered the city through the front gates, I saw lions living among the people. Lions loitered in the courtyards, on the piazzas and the verandas. The people hummed about the city guardedly—quite understandable, given that you could never be sure what a lion might do. I too walked around feeling guarded, and slipped away to a safe place while still going about my normal business. I was with a Hispanic woman. She had been stopped for questioning at one of the city’s checkpoints—a common thing. And as I was waiting for her, I awakened from my dream.

“After I recorded this dream into my journal, it occurred to me that the people had learned to live with the lions; the two had coexisted. And perhaps after a few generations, it became the only way they knew how to live. They had learned how to walk, what to do, what to feed the lions. They went about their daily business taking certain precautions and thus, were relatively safe. And then, the lions did not seem so much like lions anymore. They mostly lazed around, swishing their tails.”—End of excerpt.

Back in 2005, when I awakened from this dream, I interpreted it to mean that I had a decent handle on things, and that I was supposed to keep going with my mission while “coexisting” with my fears. Later, I saw an additional meaning in this dream: that I have learned my lessons and have learned to coexist with my biggest fears to the point where they no longer blocked me from doing what I was here to do. My fears have been transformed. In fact, what I discovered is that my biggest fears turned out to be the catalysts that helped me discover my unique contribution toward this important time in humanity’s history.

Your spiritual awakening (strengthening your connection with your higher self, your connection with God / the Universe) is an important step in your journey. It is why you are here, on this Earth, at this time. And even though the events we will go through will be extremely challenging, if your connection with your higher self is strong, your fears will not have the same hold they had on you in the past. (Yes, I do believe that world events will get rockier before they get better.)

To summarize, one of the ways that Spirit speaks to you and guides you in your life is through your dreams. This is why it’s worth the effort to remember your dreams, to try to understand them, and to strengthen your relationship with your higher self.

Last month, I had a dream where I popped into a bright, white meeting room where a few other people were assembled around a large conference room table. But as soon as I was noticed by the others, I got the feeling they were thinking, what in the world are you doing here? So I made myself wake up, to get away. Strange, too, is that this dream happened at the beginning of the night, soon after I fell asleep, rather than in the morning when most of my dreams usually occurred. It felt so real, it has a lasting impression on me, still to this day.

My intuition says I popped into a room where what’s happening on this planet, and what’s next, was being discussed. But clearly, they didn’t want me there to listen in. At least not yet.

I’m curious if anyone else had a similar experience, or if you have any insight on this. If so, please leave a comment below!

Anyway, this dream inspired me to update an article on remembering your dreams that I wrote back in March 2011 …

Back then, a reader had emailed, asking what he should do so he could remember his dreams. “Can you give me some insight into dreaming? I do not and cannot remember my dreams. I was told this is not normal. Why can’t I remember my dreams?” he asked.

I understand his frustration. Earlier in my life, I usually wouldn’t remember my dreams, either. And when I did remember a dream, usually it was only the last part of it. And even then, I wouldn’t notice the details that other people claimed to be able to notice—details like color, for instance.

But then, as I began to reconnect to my higher self, I began to pay more attention to my inner feelings, and this is what helped develop my capacity to remember my dreams. (Connecting to your higher self develops you in a number of ways. Remembering your dreams is one of them.)

Besides reconnecting to your higher self (which I will not discuss in this post, as I’ve already written on this topic extensively on this blog and in my two books), I recommend the following tips for remembering your dreams.

5 Tips for Remembering Your Dreams

  1. Anticipate that you will have dreams and that you will remember them. To this end, get yourself a notebook specifically for your personal growth: your new insights and dreams. Keep this notebook by your bedside, along with a pencil or pen and be ready to write in it when you wake up with a dream, even if you only remember a few things.
  2. As you retire for the night, ask your higher self for guidance while you sleep. (Do this nightly.) Ask your higher self a question about a problem you are dealing with, or about something bothering you at the moment. For example, “How do I solve that thermodynamics homework problem? Give me some insight into setting up the solution.” Then relax and fall asleep, knowing that your higher self is working on the solution while you sleep.
  3. When you awaken in the middle of the night with a new or helpful insight, put the light on and write it down in your notebook. Do not miss the opportunity to develop the capacity to make new neural connections and capture new insights. More often than not, you will not remember the new insight in the morning. Write it down, promptly.
  4. When you are dreaming and you begin to notice that you’re dreaming, it usually signals that you will soon awaken from your dream. Do not try to awaken; don’t even move. Just go over what happened in your dream, over and over again, until you find yourself fully awake.
  5. Then, while still in bed, pick up your dream journal and write in as many details about your dream that you can remember. Do not put off writing in your dream journal until later in the day. Do it right away!

Regarding tip number 1 above: intention and anticipation may seem to be the same, but I came to experience that anticipation had more power in it than intention. For example, years ago, rather than intending that I receive guidance from my higher self, I anticipated it—I paid attention and looked out for it and then I followed through when I received the guidance. When describing what works to get the “ball rolling,” anticipation is more accurate than intention. Anyway, would Carly Simon have written a song called Intention? I seriously doubt it.

Reconnecting to your higher self and following the tips above will help you develop your capacity to not only remember your dreams, but to experience dreams that are more meaningful to you, dreams that guide you to solve a particular problem or to advance you in some area of your life. Because the truth is, your dreams are one way your higher self (and your spirit guides) use to guide you on your life path, to give you insight.

Now for Some Important Guidance

Are you actively involved in the awakening that is happening all over the planet? If not, it is time to step up! As I have said numerous times before, everyone has a role in this fight, including you. If you don’t have a role yet, and are looking to be useful, I would recommend Tore Says on Telegram (app on your phone, and her most active channel). Tore Says is also on Facebook and Twitch. Some of her videos show up on YouTube, too.

I consider Tore to be most knowledgeable of what’s going on in the U.S. government today, and world, for that matter. That’s because she worked with some top officials and wrote some of the scripts being played out today. Here’s a link to see her various channels:

I’ve written before that we must fight, in our local areas, using the laws that are currently in place. Tore has an army of people writing letters, filing Writs of Mandamus in their local states, attending local school board meetings, getting together and getting stuff done. Connect with this army on Telegram, including the local state groups. It is making a difference.

I have also impressed upon you that now’s the perfect time for you to be a hero. You are being given a chance, a once in a many-lifetimes opportunity to give it your all. We are all on a hero’s journey. Please step up not only for your family and fellow man, but for YOU.

FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedinThursday morning I awakened from a strange dream. In the dream I was upset because I had realized that my daughter had parked my car in the ocean. I stood on the shore looking at my car; it wasn’t that far away, maybe a hundred meters or so, and it was not the only car out there: there were about a half dozen other vehicles parked in one neat row off the shore.

A storm was brewing and the cars were getting a beating from the waves but that is not why I was upset. I was upset because my car being out in the ocean was a weird, unexpected oddity and also, I didn’t have access to my vehicle and didn’t have any idea how to get it back! So I looked for my daughter and demanded that she get my car right back.

After hearing my complaint she left to see someone, perhaps the “ocean valet,” and a few moments later, my car was being delivered to me on some kind of mechanical platform that delivered cars, one by one. Before awakening from the dream, I remember thinking that all I had to do was ask, and it was delivered.

I believe the storm is a sign of the tumultuous times we’re living in right now, and the ocean signifies our spiritual world (our inner world). I’ve been feeling a bit of anxiety lately in my “body vehicle,” and my other “vehicles”–my car and my computer–have had their issues as well. My car’s problem (the ignition lock) has been recently fixed, and my laptop (still under warranty) most likely has a hard drive failure that ought to get fixed shortly. (I asked a friend for his assessment and was relieved to hear that it most likely is a simple hard drive failure having nothing to do with me.)

One of the lessons here is to ask for what you need. Many “lightworkers / warriors” are used to plowing through on their own and forget to ask others to help them. Sometimes reaching out and asking those who can help can take a bit of courage, but it’s the next step in your personal growth. Sometimes you need to ask the “ocean valet” (God, the Divine, our spirit guides) for help and guidance.

There’s another dream that has been on my mind quite a lot lately. I had the dream in 2005, but am being guided to share it here, to help change the direction of the path humanity is on. The following dream is excerpted from my memoir What Everyone Believed:

“At the end of January 2005, I awakened from a dream where I was scrambling across a craggy landscape that looked like the aftermath of a mountain  explosion. Large boulders and slabs lay all around in disarray, as though they had fallen from the sky. Crevices wide enough to fall through stymied your path; you had to watch your every move. I was stepping through the wreckage,  hopping from boulder to boulder, headed towards a city that looked like ancient  Rome. When I entered the city through the front gates, I saw lions living among the people. Lions loitered in the courtyards, on the piazzas and the verandas.  The people hummed about the city guardedly–quite understandable, given that you could never be sure what a lion might do. I too walked around feeling guarded, and slipped away to a safe place while still going about my normal business. I  was with a Hispanic woman. She had been stopped for questioning at one of the  city’s checkpoints–a common thing. And as I was waiting for her, I awakened  from my dream.

After I recorded my dream into a journal, it had occurred to me that the people had learned to live with the lions; the two had coexisted. And perhaps after a few generations, it became the only way they knew how to live. They had learned how to walk, what to do, what to feed the lions. They went about their daily business taking certain precautions and thus, remained relatively safe. And then, the lions did not seem so much like lions anymore. They mostly lazed around, swishing their tails.”–End of excerpt.

Back at the time of my dream (which was for me … divine guidance), I had interpreted it to mean that I was to keep going with my mission while coexisting with my fears. Furthermore, I saw the fears being tamed, and the “lions” out in the world could also be tamed.

What about you? Is your fear still blocking you from doing what you’re here to do? Perhaps you’ll discover that your fears and anxieties (if you examine them and move through them) are the catalysts that allow you to discover your unique contribution at this important time in humanity’s history. Dreams are a form of divine guidance and a way your higher self uses to get through to you. And when you connect and integrate with your higher self, you will have clearer dreams that guide.

In a previous article titled, Spiritual Awakening Symptoms – Essential Signs of Spiritual Awakening, I put together a list of 9 of the more common signs and symptoms of spiritual awakening that I consider essential to the awakening process. In this article, I discuss meaningful dreams (one of the 9 signs of spiritual awakening) in more detail.

Intense, vivid dreams that seem to point you in a certain direction are one way your higher self guides you, particularly when the dreams reflect a process you are currently undergoing in real life. Your dreams may also help confirm subtle feelings you have that you’re not yet sure about. (This used to be one of my issues–needing more than subtle feelings to be sure about something, needing signs from the Universe to confirm my hunches.)

In my experience with dream interpretation, the further along in the spiritual awakening process you are, the clearer your dreams will be and the more they will help guide you in your daily life. The dreams will be in metaphor form, often in metaphors that make sense to you.

An example of a meaningful dream that guided me

Before I get into an example of a meaningful dream that helped guide me, first a little background: Around the time of this dream (October of 2005), I had already been committed to following my inner guidance promptly and consistently and was well into my awakening process. I viewed the dream as a message from the divine, and as guidance meant to help get me to the next level in the Ascension process. The following is an excerpt from my memoir What Everyone Believed.

“With a pounce onto my chest, my kitten awakened me from a dream the day I  was revising this chapter. In my dream, I was on my way to Alaska as a passenger  in a new, comfortable, European-style city bus. I was aware  that I’ve never been to Alaska, only to Canada, and I was thinking that going to  Alaska would be just as easy as going to Canada.

“The bus traveled through a picturesque, green valley in between beautiful  snow-capped peaks, maybe ten miles from one side to the other. The valley  reminded me of Davos, Switzerland, still snowy in the higher elevations though  it was almost Summer. The bus meandered, switchbacking up an incline, went here  and there, stopping in many places for passengers, taking its time. Impatient, I  asked a passenger sitting next to me how long this trip to Alaska would take.  ‘It’ll be around four hours,’ she said.

Four hours? That was way too long for me! I wanted to get there sooner! I  explained that if I drove my own car, it would take me only two hours. So  I decided to get off of public transportation and drive my own vehicle. I pulled  the signal to stop and got off the bus. That’s when the cat woke me up.”–end of excerpt.

I had interpreted “driving my own vehicle to Alaska” as a sign of stepping up my awakening efforts and later, as a sign that I had broken away from the “public transportation” of awakening (the rhetoric, the public discourse, the language that’s long on flowery words but short on concrete, practical guidance)–and getting there sooner. (Well, one thing I know about my higher self, my soul, is that it’s been a spark-plug of individualism and breaking away ever since the beginning of time. But now my soul has come full circle and is assisting with unification.) I also got that the Ascension process this time around was different from all the other times.

So what did I do / change after this dream? I began a second type of meditation daily, one designed to increase my capacity to access wisdom and insights (“energy”) from the higher realms (from spirit / Source) and carry it over to my waking consciousness (mind / brain) as clearly as possible. And then I spent almost 2 more years revising my memoir, until I was clear about the bigger picture.

So why am I telling you to pay attention to your dreams? Because it’s one of the signs of spiritual awakening that also acts as a catalyst and as guidance for your life. Because as you’re probably aware, we’re living in extremely important times right now, times that call for prompt and right actions. A recent channeled message from Mathew stresses this:

“…There isn’t much time left for the masses to reach that level of consciousness about what is behind wars or religious dogmas or any other facet of life that is of dark origin and intent. The light [I read it as understanding] that would let individuals avoid severe psychic trauma is the same light [understanding] that would enable them to physically ascend with Earth.  Many will not be ready to accept that for millennia Earth’s population has been controlled by darkness through fear, deception and various forms of mind control.”–excerpt from Mathew Ward’s channeled message, June 3, 2012.

The further you are in your spiritual awakening process, the more your dreams will be meaningful to you and will help guide you, and the more you will continue to awaken to the truth as gently as possible. Connecting and integrating with your higher self (by following through with your inner guidance / divine guidance), as usual, is the key.
