Dream Analysis of the Week- Butterfly League

Dream:

A man was seated at a round table in a club.  Each had different deep-coloured table cloths that hung to the floor.  Seated strangers talked in hushed voices. He waved for a standing lady to come over. She smiled, wrote something on a sheet of paper and handed it to him scrunched up like a boquet as she walked away. The writing said she was " out of his league." He set the paper down under a transparent glass butterfly paperweight.  The paper rolled itself up, covering the paperweight. Then it turned into a butterfly and flew away.  Suddenly, the man was alone. everythign else vanished. He became half man, half woman, drinking from a golden cup.

Insight:

On the surface, it may seem someone or something is rejecting or not validating you, but deep down, you can only ever reject or validate yourself. Every character (man, woman, strangers) and objects are a version of you inviting you to explore shadow fears.  The matter of opposites and the failure to recognise and integrate the shadow (all that is within us that we do not know about) are responsible for all out percived problems. 

Something or someone has had longstanding appeal and has also has been enriching your life experience.  Yet, as energy and priorities shift, what once held your undivided attention can lose/ has lost power and influence. Like a paperweight, it may now feel like its holding you down (or back) from your soul destiny. You are like the restless paper, ready to spread wings, fly into new freedom. This may be a turning point for letting go of attachments, emotions, karmic loops, situations that have had you feeling powerless until you awaken to truth. 

Round tables highlight decisions on the horizon which can bring or maintain inner peace and harmony.   Reason to feel imbalance tends to call for reinforcement.  As a metaphor, the Knights of the Round Table were a order dedicated to ensuring the peace of Arthur's kingdom, and were entrusted with mystical quest for the Holy Grail. The Grail echoes, the hero's journey, the true spirit of Western man. It is the myth of Western civilisation. 

Contemplation and silence enable the individual to allow the best of his or her own inner life to emerge. For the undisciplined person, however, ego can redirect attention into disorientation and misery, if his own defects and negative thoughts maintain control. Until we have conquered our own hidden shadows, no rest is truly given. The disciplined person relaxes and is quiet. He is in peace with life and himself, for he knows the inevitable challenges we all must face in order to grow. He gets that his greatest enemy has always been himself, and until he conquers that he can go no further. Until he does so, he will see himself as a victim of the trials and tribulations of life, which adds to the burden of his own unconscious.

On another level, the Holy Grail is a symbol of the Self, the psychic totality and ultimate wholeness of the human being. It is the vital force that drives us toward balance, the process of bringing unconscious mind into consciousness. If we are not trying to become whole, we are cut off from the true source of our being, and we feel empty. Encountering the Grail does not impart direct knowledge, but rather gives us an emotional readiness to receive a numinous experience of our inner centre. The Grail story is itself a projection of the Self as an inner centre, unrealised and inaccessible to most. It is the inner guide (God’s voice), the hidden disposition to wholeness which exists in the unconscious of each of us until awakened.

League refers to depth (i.e. 20,0000 Leagues of the Sea) as well as in distance one is willing to go to achieve a goal, solve a mystery, get to the truth, complete. a journey.  To interpret dreams, we must be willing to accept a soul's-eye view of our life. Ego goals focus on fear-based needs for food and shelter, survival for the body, food for thought, and the soul guides us to deeper spiritual sustenance. 

Butterflies are insect totems and symbols of transformation. They are also short-lived like windows of opportunity to make key decisions in your life.  Just as a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly, you, too, can transform and grow spiritually. Turning into a butterfly involves more than just a physical transformation.

Dream Analysis of the Week- Famished

Dream : I was hungry. I had not eaten bread in ages. An albatross offered two slices. A scrawny me took one piece of bread shaped like a kidney and made a sandwich with layers of mango. I climbed a nearby palm to eat coconut and reach nearby fruits from there. Turned out, from the height of the tall trees, I saw I was on a deserted island. The panorama gave me a complete 360 view.

Insight:

Dreaming of hunger is often a metaphor for a lack of fulfillment. In waking life, you may reach a crossroads, a crisis or situation that you come to feel no longer serves you. This is an invitation for an unravelling. To focus on food or eating may be a distraction from other discomfort.  The conditioned mind may like to punish you for not doing enough or not meeting someone else's expectations.

An albatross is a bird that appears "out of the blue" points to an unexpected stage of spiritual awakening. This bird is an excellent navigator through all kinds of weather and storms and is known for its resilience.  This bird also represents our inner faith or trust in the higher powers of the universe. It may reminisce of a changing relationship with God and the divine, how sometimes we feel alone on our journey and yet something unseen or initially unrecognized is by our side. You do not fear traveling on your path alone as long as God is by your side.

Mango is a tempting, sweet exoitc fruit that symbolically, may echo a "man-to-go" in your life.  Hindus view mangos as the king of fruit, symbolic of the ultimate juice of life and happiness we reach for. Coconut may echo someone thinks you are a nut (crazy) yet, it is also a positive omen that points to unexpected gains, vitality, and positive developments. They can be seen as a message from your subconscious or about a "whiter" future.

A deserted island may echo your travels in tropical or exotic places. yet, its also a metaphor for unexplored areas of the mind, your psyche and trauma that may hold you back from seeing the bigger picture. Sometimes feeling alienated from a familiar circle or entourage, leaving a longtime environment, relationship or workplace, can leave us feeling disconnected from others or ourselves, like an outcast. You may have other reasons for feeling excluded or excluding yourself from a life you have outgrown.  Come what may, periods of adjustment, transition and rest are called for.

Transform your frequency

Notice what we perceive in a non-physical environment is determined by our sklll in reading and translating energy transformations. In holographic reality, energy shifts and changes in stages that evolve from one state or form to the next.

Every moment, our body receives, decodes and transmits light. Our experience varies based on level of consciousness and intiations successfully passed. At any given moment, our perception of reality reflects our understanding of ourselves.

As we allow blockages to dissipate, to communicate in new ways, we deepen adventures in consciousness. Every adventure has an entry point, a middle and an exit point. Some relate to a beginning, middle and end of a path. Others relate to a spiral or simply energy in motion without a predicable path. Come what may, each chapter or stage of the journey alters us. We are never again the same.

As it is, we transform in parallel with the evolving journey. To be on the same wavelength as someone allows us to read the mind. tap into the hive mind or collective consciousnes is to know that telepathy is possible on a wider scale. This is not an easy shift for everyone. Deeper connection happens through the vibration of compassion. Learn to tune your own frequency.

Patience is a teacher

(Peruvian Pop up visionary art experience by Alfredo Zagaceta )

Notice the feelings evoked by words 'loneliness' and 'solitude.' It is common to fear or resist being alone. Ideas of loneliness evoke visions of boredom. So, a bored person finds another and they both take action to get through or beyond the ideas of boredom. On some level, boredom doubles. Doing has its place and provides a path to valuable lessons. It also takes one away from deeper truth.

The genius of mind creates illusionary escapes, places, illusions of togetherness. Our whole society, families, organisations, communities, hobbies, livelihoods, travel, are all escapes from visions of loneliness. Yoga is the process of growing aware of absolute loneliness and growing aware nowhere really exists to go.

Boredom is transcended by living fully in each moment as it arises. Be open to the unknown, to anything that may happen. Accept it as it comes. The denial, non-acceptance is the obstacle. To be open, receptive, to accept, is to unconditionally welcome it all. Create the situation and the happening will come by itself. Nothing truly valuable can be predicted. We cannot predict every aspect of life, yet we can set heartfelt intention, let things unfold in their own way.

To be patient is to surrender. Sit in solitude. People who resist waiting imagine the idea of certainties. They have said do this, and this will happen. The mind tells us the happening is a guarantee. Yet, in the big picture, this cannot be. Waiting lifetimes may not allow the thing to come. As one fully accepts this uncertainty, the heart settles. That is, knowing everything is happening now, is to be aware of everything as it is, to experience glimspes of the whole.

Ultimately, no one truly knows what is next. No one knows every possible path. No one knows exactly what this moment will bring. To accept what comes and make the best of it allows the best version of Self to blossom. This waiting is as easy or as hard as each of us decide. Our energy has the power to shape a new destiny, to allow us to shift timelines, dimensions or into what resonates.

Dream Analysis of the Week- Dating

Dream:

Dreams about relationships reflect our sense of well-being and balance.  In some cultures, dating more than one person, even having more than one wife or husband, is common and acceptable.  In other cultures, monogamy is the norm and dating or having relationships with more than one person at once is viewed as unacceptable even grounds for separation or divorce.

So, dating multiple people at the same time can draw attention to indecisiveness, fear of commitment, dishonesty, fear of judgement. Reflect on what authenticity means to you (living in integrity), in relation to someone else's idea of how you should live. You may be ready to take a new level of responsibility in your life, decide what you want, regardless of norms, external advice or previous choices made to appease others. 

Buildings symbolize aspects of our inner architecture, that is, how energy and emotions are flowing through us. When we are undergoing change and transformation, we may dream aspects of our life are under construction (in flux) and link this to specific rooms in our house. To remodel our home reflects the desire for or actual ongoing changes in how we define happiness and fulfillment.

To sense many rooms echos the dreamer is willing to explore the inner self further. Each room in the house may symbolize an aspect of the dreamer’s personality. There may exist some parts of the psyhe the dreamer is reluctant to explore. The dream could echo the dreamer is ready to uncover hidden emotions or thoughts. The desire to grow and expand may be in opposition to feelings of uncertainty, feeling scattered or overwhelmed.

Each room in the house could represent different emotions or psychological states of the dreamer. For example, a cluttered or chaotic room may indicate emotional turmoil, while a serene and well-organized room may reflect inner peace and harmony.  Note the character traits of the different dream characters and how you feel about them. They may each echo an aspect of your psyche. How do you feel about "braces," appearances, judgement of straight or crooked teeth? This points to possible self-rejection.

A house may also echo the dreamer's journey towards integration and wholeness. It suggests the need to embrace and accept all aspects of oneself, recognizing that each room, much like each personality trait, contributes to the overall makeup of the dreamer’s identity.
