Sowelu, I had this dream last night, the details I really can't recall in total. I didn't make much of it, better yet, didn't give it much thought as it felt insignificant. But the thought kept coming up thru out the day and here I am, needing your wonderful imputs on what this means. last night I was dreaming that I was dressed in a burgundy night gown with lace around the bust line. I was in this grand room with many people, a gathering, but as I looked around to see who ws there I noticed another being that was dressed JUST like me! I felt startled as I thought to myself that how could this be, how could she be just like me? I am unique I thought... what a deception I thought to myself...Oh Man!!! She had the same gown, color, lace, and all...I was kind of upset cause I had no idea there was another like me, and most of all she had MY gown on!!!! My Dress!!! I tied to make believe it didn't bother me, but it did...I started questioning why this person exactly like me was trying to pass on like me, like an imposter.... I never got a chance to question her, but I felt like she wanted to take over my place in my body and she was being prepared to do so. like a robot sort of. Any ways, this has been on my mind all day. What do you make of this? that is all I can remember, but I know there was much more to this. I hope you can help, this is bothering me, it's in the back of mind... Like this other replkica is a body snatcher!!!  |

Hi MirRA! (((Hugs)))
Hmmmm... I will sit with this a bit more, but what comes to me initially is that perhaps the role you have played so far, the passion you've had for life in some regard, is becoming mechanical...
I actually sense that you may be negatively reacting to a positive change occurring within, and this dream is revealing this to you. It seems as though you are clinging to a self identity that is less than all you could be.
The gathering seems to indicate an initiation into something new, or a celebration of successful completion of something... but you are clinging to the role you played as if it is "you", rather than a role. You are so much more, but cannot embody and reveal the rest of you if you remain attached to the "smaller" version of self.
So I would say that you are being asked to look at an attachment you feel to some aspect of the role you've played here, perhaps what you have termed "your passion" (burgundy gown), and prepare to let it go or detach from it so that you can open to something new.
There seems to be a hint in the night gown symbology that you have been "asleep" to this shift or upgrade potential in self, and this may be the cause of the upset feeling you had in the dream.
Change is often a little scary, but whenever we first realize that we have to let go of something dear to us, we tend to react because we haven't yet acknowledged our attachment as unhealthy. We thought it was just a love for something, not a connection that could hold us back or an unhealthy identification with, or attachment to, something.
If I get anymore on this I will certainly share it, but this is what comes for now, MirRA. I sure hope it offers some help to you! (((Hugs))) As always, you're the expert on you, so take what fits of this, and toss the rest! ;D
Love you!
Sowelu

Sowelu,
Thanks!
I can accept that there is a change coming, better yet it came last Nov/Dec. I am trying to keep up with this fast train and at times I feel like I need 12 arms to help and comply with all the things I feel deep inside that need to be done.
I also find it hard to move, seems obstacles pop up where we least expect them, focusing tends to be harder, and what the next step is unkown.
Please if there more to this tell me. thanks...
I feel tired and beat...
Gotta let go of the old...

Well, as much as it may be hard to understand this, the sense I get is that you're exhausted and scattered precisely because you're trying to hold onto the old, rather than releasing it and opening up to the new. Which I know you know, and yet... perhaps the really tough part is determining just WHAT is "the old", you know?
We don't need to work NEARLY as hard as we think we do, especially at this point (that's what machines do - maybe this is the "mechanical" piece). So if we're barely able to keep up with events in our physical lives... we're going about things in a manner that's making it harder for ourselves.
It's our choice to do this, but it's actually a form of resistance, even though we THINK we're trying to make things better. Or worse... if we think that we have no choice. We do have a choice, we just can't see it through our belief that we "have to" do this, that and the other.
If you come up with any other details, MirRA, let me know, they could help nail down more specifics for you to clue in on how this dream specifically relates to your daily life and spiritual path, ok?
(Your fatigue and scatteredness feels so much like Nicole's recent struggles to me... it seems like a "group graduation" that we're having difficulties with, perhaps  )
Love you! (((Hugs)))

Sowelu! I have to say that the above really stroke a cord!!! I agree with you with ahnging on to the old and feeling the struggles to get thru this and walk into a new phase. Jesus, it was hard , it felt like I was walking thru a thick brick wall, but you know what? It feels sooooo much better on this new side!!! It feels like I walked thru a time warp and came thru to a new world, and I mean I feel like I am on top of the world. I feel much more relaxed and as I came home. About the burgundy Gown...guess what? I have integrated burgundy into my new decoration and now I feel like a royalty!  WQ. I think I steeped up to your status...LOL! I also have noticed and great increase in service on my behalf. It feels good and all of a sudden "I" feel like a guardian Angel, helping people all over the place. I even had a lady say thank for caring for a stranger... that felt good, I mean real ggod. So, I think I have entered the phase of serving unconditionally.... Yours truly, A guardian Angel in disguise...LOL! Dam, that's what I feel like now!!!!! |

Hi MirRa,
My thoughts on your dream:
It comes to me that you may in some way be feeling 'fake' or artificial and that is the symbolism. Similar to what Sowelu mentioned as well.
Like it's almost as if there is a facade or a mask you are or were wearing of the 'shoulds and supposed tos' that you felt you needed to live by. Thus the more mechanical nature of the symbols.
I can relate to your feeling over worked and frazzled. I too am working at top speed and feel like I am running backwards.
I'm going to put my stuff on the emotional clearing thread because it is more relevant but wanted to put my 22 cents in here about a thought of your dream..
Hugs,
WQ
P.S. Burgundy, btw based on colorology is the color of stability and deep passion, not royalty. Deep purple is considered the color of royalty.
I think it is interesting that you are stabilizing somewhat in your life and that the color burgundy has surfaced both in your dreams and in your new place.

WQ, THANKS FOR THE 22 CENTS!  I know that burgundy is not the color of royalty, but that's close enough for me...hehehehehe! Burgundy was used in the curtains and furniture by the royal, the gold ornate decorations, and the velvet fabrics...this all reminds me maybe of a past life of mine? About stability, if more is one the way I will welcome wide open arms. The mask I was wearing or is wearing may be shedding and new me is about to surface. hey, it isn't easy living in this 3rd D. world...maybe a new me is emerging. Anyways, I love all the different views as they do add to something when you summerize it. |
