Questions about two dreams

[liza]

I've questions to start off before detailing two dreams I've for two days in a row over the easter weekend.

1. What does it mean to have a small mouth on the left palm?
2. What does it mean to fly all over in a domed environment in two dreams with different plots?
3. Why are there strong feelings involved about my family in both of the dreams?
4. Insights?

Dream 1

I title this A Day at the Aquarium in a Dome.

The dream opened with me walking into a huge complex of entertainment that had an aquarium and poker with my siblings (two bros and a sis).

My brother wanted to play poker, and he had a name for it that I don't remember. It sounded very alien to me.

So we looked for the poker table, and found it. He was happy playing it. I wanted to look for other forms of interesting pursuit, so I looked at the sharks and the dolphins.

For some reason, I was able to glide in air and I did this in a crowd. Unfortunately, this caught attention of some people who wanted me to work for them. I appeared to manifest a good number of powers.

I got accosted by a man I found compelling and dangerous, who offered me a drink. I didn't trust him, and intuitively felt there was something in the drink to knock me out.. and also felt it would have little influence on it. I drank the thing, felt its effects and pretended to be out. The guy carried me, and called his henchmen to him. They bought me to a place. I wanted to learn their intentions, and this was my reason for playing along.

It turned out they wanted me to work for them, and I didn't like their agendas or manhandling.. so I made my first escape. They were so surprised that i recovered so quickly from the drink.

Unfortunately, I found out the hard way how this agency deeply infilirated the compound. I have made dozens of escapes before I finally found my brother at the swimming pool.

I ducked under the floating white pad my brother was sitting on in the pool, and communicated with him briefly from underwater before I was caught. I was afraid I put him in danger, so I regretted contacting him.

I was bought before a row of 7-9 sitting girls. They seemed to be from different countries - Africa, Japan, Russia, England, etc. I felt they were prisoners with something the agency needed, and the agency was working on brainwashing them to work for them. I felt the agency tried to include me in their programming, and it felt very seductive. There was talk of a formal evening with dates, and the girls would be paired up.

I resisted the programming, but it did feel very good to be part of it.. for a moment, I felt a part but I still remembered the agency's agendas. I declined a fitting of a dress, and suddenly made my final escape before I woke up from the dream. I was flying all over the dome, in a crazy pattern in front of crowds.


Dream 2

My Birthday at the Dome

Well, I have a birthday in May and I dreamed about my family visiting me. It meant a lot to me. My grandmother, cousins, aunts, siblings, parents, etc, all were there.

We were getting prepared for the bash, and I was picking up my father. To my surprise, my stepmother was coming along and I felt her to be an intrusion and she was rather unkind and difficult in this dream. Things went haywire from there.

At the buffet, people were in a line - I piled up vegetables and a tasty mexican burrito onto my dish. There was the kids' section where they sat and ate nearby, and two little kids.. a girl and a boy were watching me, and I sort of waved over my dish.. and the food vanished completely! I was afraid people would think I was a pig, but I wondered how it disappeared like that. I tested some meat tidbits, and waved my hand over it.. it disappeared, and I flipped my hand up to my face... there was a small mouth on my left palm swallowing a small piece of meat! I felt very horrified and shocked. I felt the hand having a big "stomach upset".. if that's possible, and somehow my arm opened up and I observed the digested meat being moved upward on my arm. A lot of meat! I was horrified, but couldn't stop myself from looking.

I felt very unwelcome, unwanted and an outcast there. I found I could glide, too. I glided all over in the dome in a freestyle pattern, enjoying some wild manuevers. I felt my stress and worries melting away slowly as I focused on the loops and narrowly missing a crash or two.

Thank you for reading my dreams!

((((((((((Hiya Liza!!!!))))))))

It's so good to see you 'round these parts again! I thought I'd give this a shot, see if it can help you out.

And wow, very interesting! First an FYI with explanation. Sometimes our psyche/higher self will use images, words, and/or symbols that have multiple meanings. This one is quite interesting.

Dome \Dome\, n. [See {Doom}.] Decision; judgment; opinion; a court decision. [Obs.] --Chaucer. [1913 Webster]

And now, what happened before I looked it up... My first sense about the dome was that it was used to impart the idea that you're in a limited structure. Then I realized that "limited structure" is another way of defining "belief". Then I looked up "dome" and saw the definition above... and well, I hope you get the idea. You're exploring judgmental beliefs of some kind, is the sense.

And that brings in the family aspect, as well, it seems to me. The beliefs you're exploring may well be those that are familiar to you, perhaps you were borne into them, perhaps you've never quite bought into them but your family does (there is a chance this "family" is more along the lines of humanity, btw, or it could be your physical family of origin). In some way these beliefs are an arena in which you differ, however, at present anyway. Perhaps you always have.

It's almost as though you chose to "try them on for size", for some reason. (This could be recently, or the dream may be revealing a tendency throughout life, or something along those lines). It seems you care about others' opinion of you, indicating a certain level of insecurity or lack of confidence in self, which may tell you what lesson you're working on lately.

My thought was that perhaps you've made an attempt to talk to others about their beliefs, or wanted to share your own truth lately... but it hasn't quite gone that well? If so, the reason may simply be that you are triggering their defenses, their fears... causing them to feel a need to attack or entrap you in some way? A lack of confidence or insecurity is what would attract that kind of situation, if that's what happened.

This takes us to your birthday. Birthdays hinted at or focused on in dreams often indicate something new coming into being for you... now or soon. And in the context of these dreams, the sense is that this newness you're opening to is also not quite a comfortable thing for those whose beliefs you've been exploring or encountering in daily life. Meaning that you need to deal with your own discomfort in causing discomfort in others simply by being you, perhaps.

All in all, it seems you're exploring the idea of judgment. Perhaps it's a two-sided issue, in that you feel judgment of others toward you... but also carry judgement for them? So your dream is helping you understand that it is a limiting activity to judge, and will "bind" and "ground" you from flying to your highest heights. And that it's rooted in insecurity or lack of confidence, which can be faced inwardly on your own, should you choose. You have the tools needed, provided in recent experiences. Seek to use your life experiences for your benefit, not as fuel to act against others, you know?

The left side of the body is the feminine, receiving side. It seems to me that you've been shown through the symbol of the mouth in your hand, that you have received the "meat" of the issue already, and can leave the confines of the limiting structure, taking with you the details of what you encountered in the experience, to learn from on your own.

It may even have been harsh words spoken to you (or written)... in which case, the "meat of the lesson" is in the words spoken. Somehow, what you received is worded in such a way as to reveal the meat of the issue. YOUR part in the issue, that is. In other words... when another is judgmental and abusive to us, they are reflecting something we hold inside, though they will often reflect it in an extreme so that we do take notice or react... which tells us we have something to clear up inside.

What you received has horrified you indicating "reaction" rather than acceptance with understanding. This is likely why the dreams are exploring these limited structures for you. Because you're seeking understanding around the experiences you encountered. Since you've so far managed a "reaction" instead of understanding, it may even be the cause of your own inclination, perhaps, to judge. If so, again, look to what you received, there are clues in it to help you sift out your own "attracting piece" in the scenario.

This may be off in the specific details of what's occurred in your life, Liza, I don't know. I do know that the theme is clear: limited structures/beliefs and their impact on you. From both sides, perhaps... or maybe just on the receiving side. Your call there.

I sure hope that helps!!! (((((Hugs!)))))

Love you!

A thought that popped in after I left the computer is that perhaps you'd thought that your awareness or that which makes you different would act to unify you with others, and instead it's causing rifts. If so, the reason for this is implied in the dreams... a fear or fears you carry within causing insecurity or lack of confidence. That's what attracts the rifts with others, instead of a unifying effect. So judging others for judging you won't resolve the trouble. Working on your feelings until you understand the source of self-judgment within, will.
