What does it mean when you have a dream of a dream?

February 7th, 2010

What does it mean when you have a dream of a dream?
Roslyn

Dear Roslyn,

At times you may dream you are asleep and wake within the dream. Generally speaking, to dream you are dreaming is to say that you are not awake…as in, unaware or not paying attention to this situation. Your higher consciousness is trying to stress the importance of the message, so be sure to give it your full attention.

Another cause for dreaming about dreaming is called “lucid” dreaming where you are aware that you are dreaming and can now interact within your dreams. I’ll write more about this in future blogs.

God Bless
Dr Kathy




Dream of a wedding veil-becoming ONE with God

February 7th, 2010

Dear Dr Kathy,
What does it mean when you have a dream of being in this boat with a male and the current is fine and you row to the river’s edge toward a mountain. You then stare at this marble church sign. and a tablet was next to it. The tablet was inside the glass and marble stone was around it. It was really beautiful, and inside the glass, the tablet had quotes or words on it and sand was falling over it show the words. and then the man and I looked at the sign on the marble stone. It was a bar design on the stone and the Man said that he thought the design of the bar would be pretty on a clip being in my hair or veil. (I had on a wedding veil) and he placed it in my hair and then I woke up.
What’s wrong?
Lisha

Dear Lisha,
This sounds like a very spiritual dream to me. The smooth boat ride to the edge of a lake toward a mountain is symbolic of a spiritual journey…moving closer to God. The church sign, the tablet, indicate a spiritual message. A bar design (as in music bars)??? I am not clear on what u mean here. Putting the clip in your hair is saying “listen to my words, meditate upon them, become one with me and my word.” The man can represent a messenger of God or a Guide of sorts. The sand falling over the words could be saying you need a firm, solid, marble foundation. Know what you believe and why you believe it.
God bless

Dream of Angels

January 31st, 2010

Dear Dr Kathy,
What does it mean when I see an angel 10 ft tall wings expanded all the way to the left and to the right carrying a 2 story pink house fully intact that was falling down from heaven -nothing was wrong with this house but he was carrying it on his back -descending down to me.. I was on hill praying with an unbeliver and a pastor with his wife .. whom they couldn’t see except me -this angel came down to me -smiled and carried this house away back up and disappeared into heaven - and then he disappeared into heaven and then a gray cloud appeared right in front of us again -and from this gray an angel manifested out of this angel and became a full body angel.. what does this mean to you?

Dear Dreamer,

Sounds to me like you saw a real angel bringing you your hearts desire (answered prayers). Pink is a color of love, happiness, fulfillment, answered prayers. Are you a Pastor praying for a wife by any chance? I ask because I believe the unbeliever is you. My personal experience with gray cloud angels have been angels of darkness who seek to decieve, cause self doubt and destroy your faith. Whatever the delay is that you are waiting for, don’t give up the faith….Its on its way. Get closer to God (hill-top), Rebuke the devil and he will flee. Those that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength…don’t let negativity enter your mind regarding this prayer. Pray with a heart of Graditude, “Thank you Lord Jesus for answering my prayers….

Hope this helps

OLD WOMAN AND A COFFIN…HMMM

January 31st, 2010

Wellsphere member roslyn g. has sent you the following message:

Dear Dr Kathy,

My brother had a dream a while back about an old lady in a coffin. The coffin was at our grandmas house and he remembers calling her grandma but she didnt look like any of our grandmas. My mom was saying “shes not ready yet” Her body looked old, deformed, and like a shriveled raisn. She was dressed in a pancho and wore an old fashioned hat with rims around it. He said she was dressed like an indian. Her face was a silver color. They were taking her out of the coffin to finish preparing her and A thought came to his head about laying hands on the sick and they shall recover. He was goin to prepare her by putting a towel around her head but the coffin opened up from the side like a door with hinges. he did not want to see the dead ladys face close up so he shielded his face with the towel. he peeked his head out and saw her face tilted to thE side where he was. when they finished and were putting her back in she started to moan and move. When he told me his dream i thought you would know and understand what it meant.
What do you think his dream means?

Dear Roslyn,

WITHOUT MORE DETAILS I AM UNCERTAIN OF ALL THE FACTS, BUT GOING BY THE SYMBOLOGY HERE, I WOULD HAVE TO SAY YOUR BROTHER HAS A GIFT HE IS HIDING FROM OR AVOIDING FOR FEAR OF REJECTION. Doesn’t want to face it because it goes against HIS OLD-FASHIONED OR OUTDATED BELIEF SYSTEM. HE HAS A GIFT OF HEALING, POSSIBLY SHAMAN (AMERICAN INDIAN OR OTHER) THAT MAY GO AGAINST HIS SPIRITUAL BELIEFS. HE DOES NOT CONFRONT IT (FACE IT) BUT PEEKS AT THE IDEA ONCE IN A WHILE. PUTTING A TOWEL AROUND THE HEAD IS LIKE A TURBAN. THESE ARE METAPHYSICAL STUDIES OR MIDDLE EASTERN RELIGIOUS PRACTICES. A FUNERAL OR A COFFIN SYMBOLIZES A DEATH OF SORTS. USUALLY A CHANGE IN CONSCIOUSNESS-AWARENESS OR DIRECTION. YOUR BROTHER MAY HAVE INHERITIED THIS GIFT FROM A GRANDPARENT OR THE GRANDPARENT CAN SYMBOLIZE WISDOM OF OLD, OLD SOUL OR WISE FOR HIS AGE.

YOUR BROTHER MAY NOT UNDERSTAND HIS GIFT OR MAYBE HE IS “JUST NOT READY” TO FACE IT YET. HE SHOULD PURSUE HIS GIFT AS IT IS OF GOD- A SILVER FACE IS A REFLECTION OF GOD’S LIGHT. HIS MOTIVE IS TO HELP OTHERS, BRING THEM BACK TO LIFE. IF NOT PHYSICAL, MOST DEFINITELY SPIRITUALLY. IS HE A MINISTER OR DESIRE TO BE ONE?

I’D LOVE TO HEAR BACK FROM YOU ABOUT YOUR BROTHERS RESPONSE TO HIS DREAM INTERPRETATION.

Sincerely
DrKathy

An Explanation for having sex in the dream.

January 17th, 2010

Dear Dr Kathy
What is your explanation for having sex in the dream?.
Thanks for your time & energy.

Dear Reader

Another “not so easy explanation”…but I will do my best to highlight the varied meanings…Unlike other dream interpreters, I don’t believe Freud’s concepts of dream interpretation, believing that most dreams are sexual by nature…NOT TRUE unless you are sexually pre-occupied or have a sexual addiction disorder, then your dreams might indicate the literal act of sex which would include your fears about sex or your own sexual thoughts, desires, or wishful thinking.

There are a number of reasons for having sex dreams. The first and most common is for the dreamer to get intimate with their male / female side. In cases where, a person is too male (e.g. causing them to repress their feelings, too macho, too much ego etc.) or too female (causing them to lack confidence in themselves, maybe too sensitive, too much nurturing to the point of enabling others), the dream tries to heal this by representing the male or female side as something desirable, something to develop within yourself.

Sometimes the act of sex between the two opposite sexes indicates you have chosen to accept these qualities and are working at being either more emotional or less sensitive (for example).

If you find yourself having sex with a male/female you know of, then ask yourself “what character traits does this person have that I want to develop within myself?” I have had dreams of a man I admire which indicated the type of man I wanted to be with someday. I dreamt of having sex with Patrick Swayze (the actor) because I wanted to dance like him as well as find a partner to dance with (dirty dancing movie). This dream actually motivated me to take ballroom dancing for fun….and I love it. Bring on that Mambo…I’m ready for it, thanks to Patrick!

The dream wants both male and female sides of the self to share closeness in an uninhibited way. This sharing restores balance to the dreamer so they can draw on the strength inherent in the aspect of their nature they were repressing. Ideally, we all want to balance our male/female sides. Our God is as much female as he is male. His compassion and heart felt love is a female aspect…among other traits. Our God does not think nor acts like our human macho man. He represents the character traits we all want to develop within ourselves…to be more like Christ.

Many people are shocked to find themselves having sex in a dream with a person of the same sex.. A woman having sex with another woman in a dream is a healing device intended to put the dreamer in close contact with her heart / feelings. It’s learning to love and accept you as a woman. (Unless you are a man, then it’s learning to except your male characteristics and to love who you are.) This can often be misinterpreted by sexes to mean they are “gay” individuals, when that isn’t normally the case at all.

Sexual Dreams can also be stress reducers. If you have been inactive for a while, you may just need release, but don’t desire to sleep around with just anyone to get it. In this case the dream attempts to heal stress or whatever impact abstinence is having on the relationship or lack of a relationship.

Whenever a dreamer is able to be honest with themselves in private but puts on a false image in public by appearing tough, non-emotional, may find themselves have sex or being naked in public indicating the fear of being vulnerable in front of others. Again the purpose of the dream is to face the truth about you, face the fear. Do not be afraid of being honest with others in private or public. So you get a little vulnerable, it’s okay, allow yourself to experience it.

There are many other sexual dreams that could be discussed here, but for the sake of time and my fingers cramping….I will end here. Should you have a specific dream you’d like help with, do not hesitate to write me.

Sincerely
DrKathy




Question about consulting with “the Dead”

January 11th, 2010

Hello, my first time here & it was out of curiosity i visited this blog because am HUNGRY for information. I dream a lot that a xtain brother nick-named me ‘JOSEPH THE DREAMER when we were in the higher institution. My dreams started at an early childhood which some do come to pass, some not, some are attack & some are revelation concerning my spiritual life [anytime I do ask]. Regarding the response you gave ANNE, I am surprised because we have been taught that the living have no relationship with the dead & once a man dies, it is then judgement follows. please enlighten me. thanx

Dear Kareem,
The living in Christ (The righteous) such as Moses and Elijah, appeared to Jesus as a comfort to him before his soon to be death. See Luke 9:28-33 below:
28.About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray. 29.As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. 30.Two men, Moses and Elijah, 31.appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. 32.Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. 33.As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”

34.While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. 35A. voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.” 36.When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves, and told no one at that time what they had seen.

There is no simple explaination but I will do my best to help you understand. The word “dead or “death” are used symbolically as well as literally throughout scripture. A death can be a dying to the old carnal nature of sin to arrive at a christian state of living…but not an actual physical death. Those that choose not to follow the ways of God are considered “dead already.” Matthew 8:22 says, “But Jesus told him, “Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.” And, “Matthew 22:32, “‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’ [ Exodus 3:6] ? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”

This meaning, the living dead (Non-believers) are to bury the Physical dead. Those are the ones who are judged at time of death. The believer and follower of Christ just sleeps and the spirit is with God. Matthew 9:24, “he said, “Go away. The girl is not dead but asleep.” But they laughed at him.”

Now to answer your question: We, believers should not be seeking the unrighteous dead for answers about life. We can pray for the unrighteous and we may see them in our dreams as a reminder to do so. We may be visited by the unrighteous as a means to make an amends (from them or from you to them). But we do not seek counsel from such entities. As for those spirits that have crossed over from this earth plane to the living spirits in Christ (the righteous), we can also pray to them asking for guidence as oftentimes Catholics pray to Mary and other deceased saints for particular circumstances. In my reference above, Jesus sought comfort from Moses and Elijah. He (Jesus) was transfigured (in spirit body) as we are when asleep, visiting the other side.

In the same chapter of luke 9:34-36, the disciples heard a voice from Heaven, which was the voice of God telling them Jesus is his son and they should listen to him. So we have to ask, why didn’t Jesus go to his Father for comfort rather than Moses and Elijah? Hmmmm

I hope this has enlightened you somewhat and if you have further questions, don’t hesitate to ask. The fact you are hungry for the word is a wonderful thing. Keep seeking and keep asking until you find the answers you are looking for.

Blessings
DrKathy




Dream Messages for Others

November 28th, 2009

Hello Dr Kathy,

I read your article about dreaming for other people. I am still confused about an ongoing situation.

During most of my life I have had dreams that came true or has messages and warnings about anything from very simple meaningless things to more serious issues.

I had an on and off relationship over the last 2 years. My former bf mother`s whom I have never met because she passed away 3 weeks before we met came in my dream once after he just broke up with me to introduce herself, there was meaningless info in the dream about another living person that I had to verify just to confirm the authenticity of the dream.

Interestingly, our mother`s have the same first name which is a rare name and the last names are also quite similar. Since then, I have had recurring dreams of us being together, simply talking, in a relationship at time, dreams of what is doing, (which were later confirmed with him).

In the last week I have had 3 vivid dreams with messages strictly for him which I have relayed. The dreams are always positive, but it feels like this person is always in my dream in one capacity or another.

Why is this all happening?

Thanks
Anne
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hello Anne,

Thank you for sharing your dreams with us.

Because you acknowledge your dreams and willing to be a messenger to others, the deceased loved ones on the other side will use you to be their messenger as long as you choose to and are willing. If for some reason you don’t want to be a certain party’s messenger, all you have to do is pray to God and to them, asking them to stop the contact. I began my ministry very similar to this, so I understand your dilemma.

You are going about this wonderfully and validation is important whenever possible. Excellent job!

Whenever loved ones cross over, they don’t always have time for closure for the loved ones they leave behind. Therefore they oftentimes seek a source willing to help in this process. You have been chosen!

If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

Sincerely
DrKathy


Dream of “Digging for Money”

October 26th, 2009

Dear Dr. Kathy
I had this dream that me and my three friends was on the beach. We were going to go somewhere but we didn’t have no monies. So as I looked on the ground I saw a few coins, I picked those up. Then I saw more, at this time I’m digging and finding more and more coins. I have already gathered a full pouch of coins, then as I continue to digg. I saw a a white pouch buried, I picked it up and it was full of more coins. So I have now two pouches full of coins, I stopped digging and left the beach with the two coins in my hand. Can you tell me what you think this could mean,
Thank you
Tima
——————————————————————-

Dear Tima,
Your dream indicates you will never go without money for long. God will see to it you will always be provided for. Continue to seek him, dig into his word, and you will find his grace.

Blessings to you
DrKathy .

Dream of planting flowers and Flying

October 26th, 2009

Dear Dr Kathy
I had a dream where I was in the back yard with my wife, her three baby girls, and her son while planting flowers about the backyard of our home. all the while, I was soaring unbelievably high. I would fly around with great control and speed. I would practically launch myself straight into the sky until I couldn’t see my house, then fly back down, land, and then walk over and help the girls plant flowers. I flew around the yard in circles playing with them, then shoot myself back into the heavens. Before I napped and had this dream, I prayed for financial increase and my own business doing what I am gifted and passionate of … music. What did this dream mean?

Kevin
_______________________________________________________________

Dear Kevin,

I can tell by your dream that you are very compassionate about your music and about your family.

Flowers are an expression of Love, compassion, caring thoughts, happiness and freedom. Flowers may also be time-tellers as many blossoms are closely associated with a particular season.You didn’t say if your flowers were seeds or in pots so the time factor would be according to bloom. If the flowers are are in bud, its like a promise of good things to come, eventual fruits of your labors. The type of flower you are planting also has specific character and meaning, so feel free to write me back if you know what flowers your planting. In any case, you are planting hope, affirmations, prayers and goals for the near future.

Flying and shooting for the sky are your high ideals and desires. Coming back down to earth is being realistic and facing today’s responsibilities, your family. They appear to support you in your dreams as you do theirs. You think in circles and doubt yourself at times about the decision to follow through on your plans. At this point, watering and nurturing those ideas (flowers) will determine the outcome. Flowers in bloom is what you seek…be patient and faithful and your dreams will come true.

Best Wishes…and thank you for sharing!

Sincerely
Dr Kathy
