Not all dreams are full of meaning. We all have the experience of waking up feeling as though a child has been carelessly rummaging around in our subconscious, and hasn't put anything away. Dreams for me come is seasons, and I'm just at the end of a season of none at all.
Perhaps I've spent too much of the last two years trying to work out what is true, so I've starved my right brain of stimulation and activity. But recently I have taken to a certain amount of discipline around meditation and stillness, setting time aside to create space for whatever there is behind the mental chatter and the striving for meaningful activity. Perhaps the two aren't connected, but I was rewarded the other night with a galvanic, intense dream, which was so vivid that waking up from it seemed like the normal process of falling asleep. This type don't happen often for me, so I paid attention.
The content, I should point out, is private and might not mean anything to anyone else anyway, and some parts of it had an easily understood meaning, at least on one level. Other parts were a bit more open to interpretation, so they are parked in the subconscious for backroom processing, so to speak.
Some cultures around the world readily refer to their dream life as being a most important way of communication with the spiritual realm, among them some tribes of North American Indians. Dreams are also regarded as important in some parts of Islam as well as some parts of Christianity. The Bible is full of them, though the process of treating one person's dream as binding on another person's actions seems a bit far-fetched and dangerous.
The overwhelming feeling after this particular dream was one of positive charge, of being a clear indicator of the relative values of certain attitudes and actions, certain approaches to goals and values I have long held. And, some things, as a result, will have to be re-prioritised. Which means a certain amount of sacrifice of the more obvious in favour of the less. This is where it all gets a bit subversive, but becomes much more fun too.
Pay attention to what somes to you in dreams and night visions. Most likely you don't need anyone else to interpret it for you, but feel free to share it with non-directive friends who know you well enough to challenge you and are on your side, people you trust who don't have an agenda or charge money for the privilege. But mostly, just ask the ether for an interpretation before you go to sleep. The reply might come in a hunch, or a word or a picture, so be ready for it when it does. These things can help you to make important changes in your life.
