dreaming Ishtar

[consciousnessrep]

this afternoon I had a 3 to 2 hour dream which the rest I dont remember. And at the end of the dream I was at some place, I did not know where I was but I think I was at some meeting. And I was sitting there with a group of people until this strange noise just comes out of no where. So I was the first one to get up and then we all headed outside. Then I see JESUS and some person holding some book and on the top it said ISHTAR. I really couldn't see the word well but I know it said ishtar. Then I woke up and the first thing that came to my mind was ishtar. First I thought ashtar but then something told me that was incorrect it is ishtar. Then I got up looked it up and suprissingly the definition for it was. ISHTAR- The Assyrian and babylonian goddess of love and war. I dont know what this could mean for me or if it is something about this word that is very important to me. I just wanted to share my story with you all. And maybe somebody might know what this could mean for me or why I was given this word.

Hi, consciousnessrep. My experiences with dreams indicates that there could be many possible explanations. One possibility is that your mind was simply ready to process out something that you've been exposed to that never made any sense to you.

There are several references on the forum, including one to Ashtar in 'CHANNEL WATCH 007 - The Ashtar Command to the Rescue!'. Maybe you've read them previously?

Another possibility is that there is an emotional blockage being released through creative imagery.

Another possibility is that it DOES mean something to you, and the best thing to do would be to research the subject to find out all you can about it and then put it in context with your life to see what connections can be made. It's up to you...learning is fun, right? :)

Thank you so much buddy because I had a big argument with my cousin and mother about this. And they said that it had something to do with the devil. And I felt like I should research it more since it camte to me in a dream. So I think it is very important I just should my mother this message and she said that I could still research. And it could be those other possibilities or maybe I heard the word before who knows.

I think it is very important to realize and remember that dreams are - almost always - simply dreams. There are exceptions, but they are, for the most part, few and far between. So, to put so much importance into a dream that it would cause an argument with people is an indication that you might be getting carried away.

I find it difficult to fathom arguing over the meaning of a dream - so that is a bit disconcerting in and of itself.

It was not really an argument we just had different opinions to what it might be. And It led to a stressful conversation like anyone else who would have an discussion with different opinions. My mother was basically telling me stop researching it it is about the devil. And I didn't feel that way I did not meant to say argument. And I am sorry I have to disagree with you Anart about it is just a dream that maybe so. But the message that I got out of the dream might really be something important. And that is my purpose about finding out what this is and the purpose of me recieving it.

Well, it was a dream, so you didn't 'receive it', you 'had it' - it came from you. consciousnessrep, I'm wondering if you've read the Wave series yet, in its entirety? If you have not read the whole Wave series yet, it would be a very good idea to go ahead and do that and then, after having read it, return to the forum to continue to post your thoughts on it.

I have read the wave series every single last one of the chapters. And what do you mean I did not received it I had it. Do you mean it came to me consciously and I knew the word the whole time. Please explain!

I think the point was that to "receive" there has to be someone "giving" it to you, and in this case you were giving it to yourself, so it makes more sense to simply say "you had a dream" rather than "you received a dream".

ok I understand it was my dream and it came from me I understand. But what I was basically trying to say is this word that came from my conscious might mean something big. And I was just voicing my opinion to my mother and cousin about how I felt on this and they disagreed. And that is fine free will but either way it goes I am figuring out what Ishtar means to me and the world.

I think if you are ever tempted to start thinking that this 'message' might mean something big, you would find John Keel's "The Cosmic Question" an interesting read (also published as 'the Eighth Tower') - it might help to puncture any tendency to thinking you're the next prophet. I only say this, because it looks as though you are applying great importance to this dream.

If the dream was more than just an artifact of your subconscious, it seems there is a LOT of misleading cosmic 'noise' out there, and thinking it means anything can be a distraction at best, and a trap at worse.

Nomad I do not think this message is the big answer to our universe. Or do I think this message is the big key to our lives but I do believe I should least try to do some research on it. Just so I can figure out if this word has any meaning. Because if I leave it alone I maybe missing something that I probably should have got. Maybe something bad will come out of it or something good may come out of it. Either way it goes I have to see I am not saying I am jesus. I know many people get messages like this all the time. And I may not know where this word came from. But I want to check up on it and see what this Ishtar is all about.

ok. Though I'm sure you'll see how I got a hint of that from your post.

fyi:

Ishtar is a goddess of fertility, love, war, and sex.[1] In the Babylonian pantheon, she "was the divine personification of the planet Venus".[2]

Ishtar was above all associated with sexuality: her cult involved sacred prostitution; her holy city Uruk was called the "town of the sacred courtesans"; and she herself was the "courtesan of the gods".[2] Ishtar had many lovers; however, as Guirand notes,

woe to him whom Ishtar had honoured! The fickle goddess treated her passing lovers cruelly, and the unhappy wretches usually paid dearly for the favours heaped on them. Animals, enslaved by love, lost their native vigour: they fell into traps laid by men or were domesticated by them. 'Thou has loved the lion, mighty in strength', says the hero Gilgamesh to Ishtar, 'and thou hast dug for him seven and seven pits! Thou hast loved the steed, proud in battle, and destined him for the halter, the goad and the whip.'

Even for the gods Ishtar's love was fatal. In her youth the goddess had loved Tammuz, god of the harvest, and — if one is to believe Gilgamesh — this love caused the death of Tammuz.[2]

Ishtar was the daughter of Sin or Anu.[2] She was particularly worshiped at Nineveh and Arbela (Erbil).[2]

Her symbol is an eight pointed star.[3]

One of the most famous myths[4] about Ishtar describes her descent to the underworld. In this myth, Ishtar approaches the gates of the underworld and demands that the gatekeeper open them:

If thou openest not the gate to let me enter,
I will break the door, I will wrench the lock,
I will smash the door-posts, I will force the doors.
I will bring up the dead to eat the living.
And the dead will outnumber the living.
