Dear Dream Lady:
This is a dream I had several years ago when I read some predictions of the end of the world. I was also about a year out from a divorce, worked as a flight attendant and was in a quandry as to what to do with my life. In the dream I was standing in my parent's living room next to the picture window. A man gave me "virtual reality" head gear to put on. He told me to look out the window, and if I floated up I would be "saved". (Which is a strange word to use since I was raised Catholic). So, I looked out the window and saw people walking around and nothing happened. Then, I barely started to float up until I dropped flat on my face! The man lifted me up, took my head gear and solemnly said, "Sorry, you didn't make it". I begged him to let me try it again, but he said I only had one chance and I didn't make it. ---JoAnn Charette, Round Rock TX

Dear JoAnn:
Since this dream occurred during a time when you felt confused about what to do with your life, I believe it is about that very thing. Virtual Reality head gear would give you the ability to see into the future to some extent. Being able to float up would give you a broader perspective of your past and your future. I believe this dream had to do with you putting too much pressure on yourself to determine where you would go at that particular crossroads in your life. I believe that perhaps you felt like there was only "one chance" to get it right, and you wanted to make sure you made the absolute most correct choice. The message here is that there is not just one "correct" choice out there to make regarding your future, and we aren't doomed if we don't make that one choice. Life is filled with many correct choices that all create different outcomes. This dream was telling you that you were putting too much stress on yourself to make the correct choice. Trust yourself, and if you aren't sure about the choice before you, be patient and sooner or later more information will be revealed that will help you to make the next choice.  ---The Dream Lady   Top of Page

Dear Dream Lady:
For the last month I've been dreaming of loved ones who have passed away. I see them alive, sometimes well, sometimes very ill. Last night I dreamt of my best friend, Marlena, who died about 6 years ago of cancer. In my dream, we were at her house - I think we were either in her kitchen or her dining room because I was sitting at a table and she was standing by what may have been a counter or china cabinet. She was very thin and was missing her right breast (which in real life was her first surgery). When I woke up I felt like we had spent some "quality" time together although I felt sad that she was gone. I did not feel sad in my dream. In my dream I seemed aware that Marlena was a little melancholy. I wonder if this dream is a premonition because about two weeks ago, I dreamt of my grandmother who has been deceased for about 15 years. She was laying in something that appeared to be a coffin but was not. She had her arms crossed at her stomach - as you often see people laid in their coffins, and her long salt & pepper hair came down around her shoulders. Her eyes were closed and she had no expression on her face. I could see her breathing but in my dream I knew that she was very ill and was going to die. Could this dream have been a premonition? My Aunt Dora, her daughter, passed away last week.  ---Alice Whistler, League City TX

Dear Alice:
I personally believe you were actually having a conversation with your friend, Marlena. Where we go when we die, the "other side," is also where we go in the subconscious when we dream. To be able to converse with a dear friend or loved one after they have passed over is truly a wonderful experience. I've had many of those experiences myself, and I do treasure them. These dreams tell us that the soul is truly immortal and everlasting. The next part of the dream where you saw your grandmother in a coffin could possibly be precognitive, especially since her daughter Dora passed away shortly thereafter. But of course, before you make any assumptions about a dream being a premonition, it is always wise to consider the symbolic interpretation. Symbolically, your grandmother represents your Superconscious mind, the deepest part of your self that is connected to a higher source. Death represents a major change or transformation. So it is entirely possible that you're in the middle of making some very big changes in your life regarding your own inner authority. Are you becoming more self-assured and confident about your decisions? This aspect of the dream could mean that you are actually becoming more in-tune with your inner self. If this is true, then you should be congratulated.   ---The Dream Lady  Top of Page

Lots of money

Dear Dream Lady:
I have a recurring dream that I have lots of money, and I alternate between traveling and enjoying the trip with my whole family. Or I redecorate the house or buy new vehicles. My husband and I are everyday workers, we are both nurses. Sometimes we go through ups and downs financially, but I have not noticed that the dreams come when we are having a difficult period, the dream has been coming to me for about 4 years. I am not sure why???   --- Maria Ethredge, Austin TX

Dear Maria:
I wish I would hear more dreams like yours! Dreams with money have to do with self-value. Lots of money means that you have a great deal of self-value. This is a good thing and you apparently have done some good work on yourself. Of course it could be precognitive and could mean that you are about to come into a lot of money! Either interpretation is desirable. Redecorating your house means that you see value in learning new things. Buying new cars means that you see value in your physical experiences. All in all, these are very good dreams to have. I would highly recommend that you investigate our Mind, Body, & Spirit courses we offer in Austin. ---The Dream Lady   Top of Page

Dear Dream Lady:
I saw my youngest daughter leaving to get into her car against my wishes but her dad must have given in to her. I'm standing up in a yard and watch her drive past me. As she takes the bend I see her light up a cigarette. I "blow up" and take off after her, catch up to her (I outrun the car?!), and grab her through the open window. I can feel the anger as I pull her from her seat through the open window (am I superman??). My anger is really blowing up now as I hear her say "Mom I won't do it again, I promise", I punch her a couple of times in the face. My husband at this point wakes me up as I was really punching my pillow! FYI My daughter did have her driving privilege taken away a month ago; she's never smoked nor does she want to.
---A. Krause, Houston TX

Dear A.K:
I feel this dream may be about your fears. I am concerned that you might be focusing too much on what you are afraid your daughter might do (worst case scenario). Relax … take some deep breaths and let your daughter prove that she is trustworthy and reliable. Punching her in the face in the dream is not healthy, and indicates that you have too much energy bottled up regarding your need to control her actions. You will gain more from her actions by trusting her than from being suspicious all the time.   ---The Dream Lady

Dear Dream Lady:
I was swimming in a lake and the water was dark, but then somehow I went under or something pulled me under.  As I went under water, the water was clear.  That’s all I remember.  ---G.R.,  Houston

Dear G.R:
Remember that your dreams are always a reflection of what has been going on in your life just prior to having the dream.  You submitted the dream to me on October 9^th, so you will want to think about what all was occurring in your life in or around that time.  This dream is saying that you were feeling overwhelmed with some experiences in your life. These could be at work or in your personal life. Being pulled under water, could mean that you felt you had no real choice in the matter.  At first the water was dark, which meant that the situation was “unclear” at first, but then the water became clear, meant you were able to gain more clarity after you got more involved.  In summary, this means that something new was occurring that was a little overwhelming, and then it became more clear after you became immersed in the situation.  Good job!  ---The Dream Lady    Top of Page

Dear Dream Lady:
I have recurring dreams that I can fly or float away from things.  When I’m in the air flying, it’s really like I’m swimming.  Most of the time I am getting away from something that is after me.  I also dream that I can move objects with my mind.  I like this feeling.  ---Donna Wurst, Buda

Dear Donna:
These are very cool dreams that tell me you are a very exceptional woman, and probably very intuitive in your own right. Flying in dreams has a good meaning except if you take off flying to avoid some situation. In this case, the dream is saying that you are avoiding something that you need to face.  If you just fly or float around and not because you are trying to escape something, then the dream is saying that you were experiencing attitudes of optimism and limitlessness. Being able to move things in your dreams is also a good sign and means that you can easily move around in this physical world and don’t see there is anything that would restrict you.  These are very good dreams to have and indicate that you should investigate more about your own subconscious mind, like take some of our classes or work more with your dreams, learn meditation, or something along these lines.  You will find that the time will be well-spent and you will gain much awareness.  ---The Dream Lady   Top of Page

Dear Dream Lady:
I have recurring dreams that someone or something is chasing me, someone is attacking me, or someone is trying to kill me.  I feel this overwhelming sense of death around.  These dreams are so real. Many times I wake up from the dream and sit on the edge of the bed and think about the dream.  Other times I jump out of bed and try to run.  I fell off the bed once trying to escape my attacker. I have even attacked my husband while trying to defend myself.  I have even hurt myself trying to get away, and this is the second time.  Lately I’ve been having more of these dreams.  ---O.A.,   Austin

Dear O.A:
Since this is a recurring scenario, this means that you really need to understand what this dream means, or you will continue to have the dream until you do.  Everyone in the dream is an aspect of yourself, so that means there is something inside of you that you are running from.  Since these dreams are becoming more and more violent and you are hurting yourself trying to escape the dream, it is very important that you address something within yourself that you are avoiding.  Deep inside you know what this is. Face up to this situation in your life, address it, and decide what you are going to do about it.  There is some kind of change you need to make in your life.  Don’t be afraid, go ahead and do it!  ---The Dream Lady

Music in my dream

Dear Dream Lady:
About twice a week I dream music.  It comes in different forms and different songs but sometimes I dream of songs I’ve never heard before.  Music has always been a large part of my life and I’ve been in choirs and variety shows.  Why do I dream of songs that I’ve never heard before?  ---Cindi Seelig,   Austin

Dear Cindi:
These are great dreams to have and mean that you are living your life very harmoniously.  Music is the symbol for harmony.  If you are dreaming of songs you’ve never heard before, perhaps your subconscious mind is giving you a hint that you should be writing your own songs.  If I were you, I would put a notebook by the side of the bed, and commit to writing down whatever music or lyrics you wake up with.  Who knows --- you could come up with a Grammy winning song! ---The Dream Lady   Top of Page

Dear Dream Lady:
I’m suddenly sitting at the head of a large oval table in a dimly lit room with no other furnishings.  There are others sitting around the table, although I cannot see them with my eyes, I see them with my mind. They are there to share with me secrets of the universe and are each simultaneously speaking with me so quickly from each side of the table it is difficult for me to digest everything they are saying.  Then a perfect white light comes down slowly toward the center of the table where there is a clear, pyramid shaped sphere.  When the perfect white light touches the sphere, laser type lights with vivid colors shoot out from the sphere which made everything they had told me melt into my brain.  ---Cherie Akiva,   Austin

Dear Cherie:
Wow what a cool dream!  I’m envious, and that’s not easy for me to say.  This is not just a cool dream but a very significant dream. You have received some spiritual information from your superconscious mind.  The superconscious mind is the part of yourself that is the most connected with God. The white light is indicating the purity of this knowledge.  The pyramid shaped sphere has to do with inner, spiritual power that you now possess.  The laser lights and colors that shot down to “melt” everything into your brain means that this knowledge is solidified, its yours forever.  I would call this a heavenly hit! You have been imparted with some very special spiritual knowledge, whether you know it or not.  This information is worth your investigation.  You should email me regarding this information and get into our classes as soon as you can.  You must not waste your gifts!   ---The Dream Lady
