Pay attention to the signs

Submitted for analysis by Anonymous in Tallinn, Estonia.

Dream- I pulled up to a used car lot driving a fancy sports car. I arrived with the intention of selling what I had and replacing it with something more practical, like a bicycle. Yet, the car salesman was directing his junior colleague.  Both carried an end of a long pole.  In the middle of this pole, a woman hung upside down tied to the stick and her mouth was duct-taped. I could not see her face clearly. The men said I could make an appointment for the following day. I looked away. My instinct was to leave.

Hightlights-  discomfort, fear, impatience, torture, angst

Interpretation- Every dream encourages you to identify objects and themes that stand out. If you choose to view every element of your dream as sending you messages, you still decide what is important for you to notice and examine now.

To drive reminds you who controls direction of every stage of your life, even if you choose to be consciously unaware.  One useful exercise is to view your current conditions from the perspective of every person in your dream. Note dominant and passive personalities as well as the part of you that is forced to keep quiet.  You choose what to muffle or ignore.

The ego is motivated by opportunity to control your life perspective and overall behaviour. When it feels threatened, fear is evoked to keep you where you are. Through mental discipline, you learn to transcend ego control and expand your perspective beyond artificial limits ego creates.

Beliefs are adopted and discarded as you shift consciousness. What you are taught is acceptable or unacceptable may differ from what you feel inside yourself. Priorities and values change when you are ready to adjust perception.  Materialistic practices no longer suit you. Some people are conditioned to resist change, yet you can evolve to see positive sides to it.

The bondage theme draws attention to physical, emotional or other kinds of repression. You o someone else may be tightly controlling what you say or do. Consider what you fear and why you lack confidence.  This image invites you to permit freer, creative expression.  Regardless of perceived conditions, you are only ever a prisoner of the mind. The sexual view of bondage also implies suppressed passions. As you learn to be more honest, you choose to surrender.  Unleash the real you.

Hi Liara ~ I enjoyed this post greatly....

I have been bothered by dreams and images of torture for quite a few years now. It's interesting to view this in relation to your statement above.

I'm ready to unleash the real me too. Look out world! When we are at our most real is exactly what the world craves most.

henry, torture is a dream theme with multiple facits. The physical, psychological, emotional, mental and other elements may be relevant. Ask yourself who feels tortured with respect to what. Note feelings evoked inside. Torture is associated with illusions such as why one rationalizes revenge, how one chooses to experience and prolong grief, when one perceives apparent lack, dissatisfaction, waiting in suspense, uncertainty. In all cases, the choice to sense distorted reality and suffering is done with purpose. Learn why you self judge. Remind yourself you are worthy, capable and healing. Everything is a lesson in attuning to love. You gradually work through and move beyond perceptions of torture. You create with purpose.

Jannie, the universe invites you to remember what it feels like to be yourself. Human beings spend years adopting beliefs and conditioning from outside themselves. This can make it seem dificult to be honest and detach from ego ideas of what matters. Your soul or spiritual side always has universal awareness. This part of you is conscious of unconditional love within. The rest of you is learning to open up, release inhibitions and remember what the mind temporarily forgot about energy reality. To acknowledge parts of you are suppressed or hestiate to express themselves is a stage in moving beyond misperception and self-restraint. This is an awakening.
