Dream about a member on the forum.

[neema]

Okay, so I had a dream last night that is kinda left me puzzled. Since its about a member on the forum I'm going to leave the personal details out, but wanted to ask some help in interpretation of it.

I do know it was not the only dream I had last night, but it was one that stood out as odd. I know it happened around 4:00am because I had to get up and take some arm& hammer for my uncooperative stomach. So after the drink to settle my stomach, went back to bed and I had this peculiar dream. The person I had the dream about I don't know very well and I don't interact with them too often. So this person would be far from my mind, that's why it was so strange.

In the dream the individual was visiting me or passing through, and I was simply providing a place for them to stay and rest. I remember I took extra care in making sure everything was in order and that the person had everything they needed to be comfortable so they can rest.

That's about it, although I did notice that the person was a little exhausted, and seemed somewhat depressed and lonely, hence I took the extra time to make sure they where okay.

Now I don't know if the person was symbolically representing an aspect of my own life that I can't look at, or it really is something about the forum member.

Since it seems a little personal I thought I should ask for some advice first before I would let the person know anything directly.

I would appreciate any thoughts.

Hi Neema, I'm no expert and only really passing on advice here that I've received regarding dream interpretation and that is that it is most likely an internal manifestation of your own subconscious. So starting with the obvious, would you say you were tired, depressed and lonely?

I agree with Pob, I've had several dreams about forum members and usually it actually seems to be about me and specifically about my subconscious concerns regarding my development here in the forum. It's hard to be certain as dreams are so subjective and symbols may mean different things to different people, but it's certainly worthwhile to think about Pob's questions, as it may be YOU who is worn out and needing some extra care to be comfortable and able to rest.

I agree with POB, but I would also mention that the reason you may have dreamed about a particular person is that you might identify with them in some way.

I know that I often see aspects of myself in others here on the board.

So perhaps ask yourself what attributes you see in this person?

Hum, well I would say a little tired but not more than usual for me. I don't think I am depressed and I am definitely not feeling lonely. But the more I think about it I think you guys might be on to something with it being about some aspect of my own subconscious.

After I made the post I remembered another part of the dream. I don't remember if it was before or after the member part.

I remember I was with people that I do not know in real life but they seemed to be my long time friends in the dream. We were all getting ready to go on some sort of trip together and got into a sort of a car. I say sort of a car because the car was very bare. There was a chassis, engine, and a gearbox. I remember it to be a standard transmission car and I was driving. There was no seats or floor so we were kinda sitting on sections of the chassis. There was no floor either. Don't remember much else except that during the trip the car kinda kept braking down and it was up to me to fix it every time. Which I think I did successfully because after a while we would continue on the journey.

I'm definitely going to meditate on the meaning of what the forum member means to me, as they happen to be a long time contributor and a moderator. So there should be symbolism of what that person might represent.

Thanks for the responses, looks like I got some thinking to do.

The man in your avatar looks depressed and lonely. Perhaps you identify with that state a little more than you think? Why did you pick this as your avatar?

It might also be worth considering the idea that vehicles in dreams often symbolize our 'vehicle' in this incarnation. Just a thought...

I feel like he/she (srry didnt check) has a point. I don't know you, but we often subconsciously pick out things from the world that we feel are "us".

This pops into my eye; maybe it's related to the dream...

Interesting. Well my conscious reason for choosing the JFK pic is this one as I have posted in the Our avatar thread.

I just wanted to comment on my forum avatar. I have always been fascinated by President Kennedy and Marylin Monroe’s assassinations. Even as a young kid I remember wondering why and how.

So after Laura published her articles about Farewell America, I decided to read the whole book. I definitely recommend it if you are interested and want a good picture of the whole situation. Just a little warning it’s an emotional read. Well it was for me anyway. There was more than once I remember getting tears in my eyes. Especially reading the detail description of Kennedy’s final moments, and realizing what he was trying to accomplish.

After reading the book I wanted to remind myself of the importance of continuing the great work that Kennedy and people like him started. It’s ironic that the picture I found on wikipedia page about the presidents of the US, he is the only one looking down in his portrait showing to me what looks like deep sadness.

It's funny you should say that as I have done some searching on the net about meanings of cars in dreams and I'm thinking it was exactly about my physical body.
Also another interesting point is that the forum member in my dream was you Anart.

Yap, it seems that is certainly a huge part of it.

After thinking about the dream for the past while, I think I'm starting to get the message.

I definitely think the car was my body, the fact that it broke down a lot and it was bare, sure reflects how I feel physically. My detoxing isn't going very well, as I have been in constant stomach pains, no matter what I do. From brown rice to salads to using the infrared sauna and drinking MMS and colloidal silver, it seems like nothings working.

It's been particularly terrible in the past three weeks. I'm starting to think the main factor is probably stress, dealing with an ongoing legal matter regarding my long time residence. I don't want to get into it too much, but it's becoming more and more likely that I have to go to the court of human rights, regarding a simple building permit that has gotten way out of hand.

The thing in the dream that stood out was the long time "friends" seem to represent my different I's. As I have had huge success personally in containing my many programs recently, the dream seemed to reflect that pretty well. I think because of the fact that I was driving the car, and also I was definitely fully in charge of all the "friends". In the dream when I made a decision to do something, there was no argument and complete acceptance of my decisions.

I have also thought about what Anart represented for me. To me She is a sensitive caretaker, very wise, and has a no nonsense approach to life. It was interesting because she was very young in the dream I would say almost a teenager. To me that means this part of me is still young and in development, needing extra care and rest. Don't know if that makes sense.

I think the legal matter I spoke about earlier is having its toll on me, because first it is taken almost 6 years to resolve, and second if it finally goes according to plan I would be in a position to achieve a goal that I had set for myself many years ago, by being able to make a significant financial contribution to this group.

It seems that I might indeed be more depressed than I had first thought. Thanks guys, this has really given me some food for thought.

Great insights Neema. Thank you for sharing this.

Hello Neema! I had two dreams about car in the last year. here are the links.

Can I ask you a question, do you exercise? I realised that I had stopped exercising for a long period before the first dream since then, I try to do some kind of exercise every day, mostly just walking in the nature. It helped me a lot, as you can see with the second dream. The "C"s once said that when you exercise, your body can contain more energy.

That does sound positive Neema, it is also something subtle that I've noticed in my dreams over the past few years. As I've grown in knowledge and participated more in the work I've noticed a change in how I behave in dreams. Less reactive and a little more in control. I remember waking up a few times feeling very proud of my dream state character being able to say certain things or act in a more assertive manner.

I have also thought about what Anart represented for me. To me She is a sensitive caretaker, very wise, and has a no nonsense approach to life. It was interesting because she was very young in the dream I would say almost a teenager. To me that means this part of me is still young and in development, needing extra care and rest. Don't know if that makes sense.

In many respects this is true for all of us. That part of us that we are trying to develop is young and all we can do is try to develop as much as we can in the short time we have available.

I think the legal matter I spoke about earlier is having its toll on me, because first it is taken almost 6 years to resolve, and second if it finally goes according to plan I would be in a position to achieve a goal that I had set for myself many years ago, by being able to make a significant financial contribution to this group.

It's good that you have been able to use this dream to analyse your current situation and can now take steps to progress and move forward. Take care.
