When I was a child, these things scared me, (I had accurately predicted the deaths of some people I loved, and some pets) and I blocked them out, but I am now more mature, and I am inviting them back into my life. I have also learned the "feel" of the lucid dreams/messages vs. the random wanderings of my subconscious and my imagination.
Often the lucid dreams are very clear and blunt; either spoken sentences, dates, etc., or at least messages of reassurance. While meditating a few weeks ago on the situation with Sebastian, what to do, etc., I got the very clear message "We're gonna be OK".
Sometimes, though, the lucid dreams are just plain weird.
Last night I dreamed of white dragons. White dragons made of paper, long serpentine Chinese style dragons, and they were mouthing at my forearms. Not biting, really, just mouthing at me, like a black lab that wants to play will put its mouth around you and "chew" a bit. A soft bite dragon??
It had the feel of a lucid dream, but certainly wasn't as clear or as blunt as I have gotten used to lately. I have tried looking up white dragons, and learned that to the Chinese the symbolize the west and death (we're gonna ignore that one), but most sites are a variation of this theme:
To dream of a dragon, denotes that you allow yourself to be governed by your passions, and that you are likely to place yourself in the power of your enemies through those outbursts of sardonic tendencies. You should be warned by this dream to cultivate self-control.from http://www.paranormality.com/dream_dictionary_d.shtml
I am not sure what message I am to take from this. This interpretation isn't ringing very true for me, not speaking to me the way things often do when I look them up.
Maybe it was just a dream.
Maybe it was the Moroccan Stew, and the entirely too much coffee with Kahlua and Coconut Rum.
It also says that the Eastern interpretation means good news. White can mean many things, including purity. Some bad, but mostly good. So a white dragon gnawing on your arm seems like a good thing to me. Of course the dragon I was married to first meant nothing but bad news. She was a white woman with a black heart. And I got scorched by it, too. Enjoy your new relationship.
ReplyDeleteI'd skip the traditionals my friend and think hard about what the symbol means to you...
ReplyDeletepossibly something deeper and stronger calling for your attention..."paper tigers" ??? long serpentine tails drifting away....gentle tugging ????
Honey....the deeper you reach back into the self....the earlier the form of symbol....
Place yourself in context of the preceding period of time directly ahead of the experience and if that doesn't shake it.....try going back to this time last year.
Everything we experience as creation consists of our....and collective algorithims....patterns of thought/actions bring us from our yesterday always..
oh....and one more thing about themes....dreams are always themed......and "death' things can be 'a dying' of anything....an issue, a relationship, an attitude, a closing up, or an opening ........
