time is up.

Observations:


Summon humanity, one of the divine tribes.
Guided by Those known above and below
The time has come to awaken, and seal away
The worm in the blue star.



A SLEEPING GOD | "I had this dream, where I was walking alone on the street. I noticed that I had many shadows, though it wasn't that dark at all.  I looked up and I saw nine gigantic full moons in the sky, all with the image of mother Mary carrying baby Jesus."

dream's interpretation | The course of your life (lone walk) will be altered, because power resides in your spiritual potential that is unable to come to light (the shadows).  Nine is the end of all things; the moon is the ancient keeper of time. A natural end shall come to your former spiritual understanding (mother Mary carrying baby Jesus), and suppressed spiritual powers shall be released.

A SLEEPING GODDESS | "This dream began with me wandering around a really large toilet. I ran out of time in that place and left quickly.   Outside a man gave me a buzzer, and told me and a few other people that the lucky few whose buzzers didn't go off wouldn't get hurt.  Mine did; it left a massive wound on my leg.  I tried to run away, knowing that everyone was looking for me.  I was hobbling up this steep road, dragging a suitcase but I don't know what was in it."

dream's interpretation | Emotions that have not been properly cleansed (the large toilet you wander around) turn into the ticking time-bomb of self-sabotage.  For some, their lives never come to a point where they must confront the pain; for you, confrontation is unavoidable.  The emotional baggage you carry (suitcase with unknown contents) complicates your walk through life (steep road).  Go back and  cleanse your emotional being.



A SLEEPING GOD | "I was talking with my family, when suddenly I was taken before a king whose face shined as bright as the sun. Coming closer to me, I now see he is a handsome man with a beard, and eyes that glow like those of a cat. Everyone in the room is smiling, including the king. Now back on the street with family, the city is on fire. In front of me were three garbage bins, two of them neatly gift-wrapped and the third open and pouring garbage. In the sky are three giant cell phones, displaying a countdown.  I cried bitterly, knowing time was running out on the world, yet people were unconcerned, just going about their business.''

dream's interpretation | A prophecy of things to come; the end of our familiar, inferior way of thinking (the ground view with your family) (spiritual deconstruction; the burning city).  Unique, god-like powers within each individual (beard; power) (independent spirit; cat's eye), is the truth that shall finally be revealed (perceiving the king's face); the gift of knowledge will finally have us throw away our old ways (garbage pouring out).  The era of validation for the awesome schemes of heaven is upon us (self or personal validation; cell phone) (a sealed totality; the number three) (a fate; a countdown).



A SLEEPING GOD | "I had a dream last night that I was in a small dark building.  I sense this is a campus as well. It is very dark and stormy outside. I walk up to a mirror on the wall, and instead of my reflection I see a figure, a ghost. It brought one hand up and pointed a gun at me. I turned to run, and the last thing I remember is being chased by this figure out of the building and into the storm."

dream's interpretation | There is a lesson you must learn (sense of the campus): the "emotional storm" of trying times and inner turmoil can also stir the spirit within.  The ghost, half in this world, half gone to another, reflects a window of time you have to construct a better view of your Self (the noticeably small dark building).  You may be forced to undergo the turmoil needed (the gun and chase), to leave an inferior identity behind.

guidance for mortals.

Observations:

Sleeping goddess; sleeping god,

Do not disease wonder.
The real hands that shaped the World
Guide mortals by a dream.

A SLEEPING GODDESS | "For two days I was dreaming about temples.  I visited a big temple where I saw many idols of gods and goddesses, and worshiped them.  At last I saw the god Hanuman give me four laddoos in 'prasad'.  I am actually waiting for job and praying for help.  What does this mean?"

dream's interpretation | Distress creates the illusion of chance, and chance the illusion that we must solicit the gods to move outcomes in our favor.  But real favor -- grace -- is a gift from the gods (the four laddoos in prasad).  A mind strengthened by this knowledge bears strength like that of Hanuman.

A SLEEPING GODDESS | "I dreamed a whole group of us were eating Chinese food at an outside table.  I went to a mailbox on a grassy hill, and when I opened up the lock box I found more Chinese food and engorged myself.  Someone came up to me and said 'hey, you need to share that'!"

dream's interpretation | Partaking in others' knowledge, humanity, companionship, and other capacities they are willing to share with you (eating chinese food with others) is a cherished part of life. As you discover your own unique gifts and contributions (the chinese food you find in the mail box), remember that it was meant to be shared with the world, not kept to yourself.

A SLEEPING GODDESS | "I was sitting with a little girl, who I recognized as a friend from my youth. Some sort of ceremony was about to start.  A small neanderthal-like man, looking quite primitive, came waddling up to an  altar. There he took his place between two idol statues and was crowned a god, completing a trio of idols. People from the past, ancestors, came in transparent form to witness his arrival. The whole scene felt tribal and superstitious. While the girl I'd been sitting with thought it was good, I thought it distasteful that the people were worshiping idols and this small man, instead of the One True God [dreamer's emphasis]. I thought to myself how primitive these people were, and the girl in turn thought I was narrow-minded.

In the next sequence I was in an operating room, very sterile and brightly lit.  I was lying on an operating table about to undergo neurosurgery."

dream's interpretation | An ancient power returns, to consummate another human spirit (the completion of the three idols), just as it has come to countless generations before you (the ancestors who look on as you become one of their number).  Something belittled (short stature) may be greater than your estimations.  Starting all over again (the girl from your youth), allow power that is innate and eternal to life on Earth to forge the very head that governs your thinking (the "primitive" man crowned a god).  

Minds that degrade the ancient ones as "primitive" (according to some narrow-minded religiosity) must undergo total psychological reconstruction and healing (neurosurgery operation).  Do not fear; embrace what waking experiences come.

A SLEEPING GOD | "I had this dream a while ago, and have always wondered its meaning.  I'm being led into this long hall, half overgrown with vegetation and looking quite ancient.  The person leading me is God.  He does not look how you would imagine: he is a giant with radiant, gold-tinged skin; his eyes are perfectly round, like Japanese anime eyes, and he is very skinny.  His legs and arms look like tubes."

dream's interpretation | A timeless journey lies ahead, that may be unfamiliar to our normal ways of thinking (the ancient hall overgrown with vegetation).  True divine being displays vulnerability before the world (skinniness) -- open, receptive, and unarmed mentally before all ideas and experiences (Japanese anime eyes).  This is the true pillar of faith: the openness of one's heart.

photographs.

Observations:

Photographs capture fringe reality.
Beyond the highest perch of Illumination, 
Beyond the farthest removal of exiles,
The truth appears at the square gate.



A SLEEPING GODDESS | "My grandfather passed away three months ago. Lately I have been dreaming that I am looking at pictures we took as a family.  They were taken without him, but in the picture he is with us. As I show them that he appeared in the pictures, I then turn and see him but he tells me not to tell the people surrounding me that he is there."

dream's interpretation | Though it may seem he is no longer with us, your Grandfather is "still part of the picture".

A SLEEPING GOD | "I go outside with a guy. He has a dog with him and he is about to take photos of the dog seated on a table.  This table is made of plastic, but it is a marble-looking plastic table. Either he or I say, 'It doesn't matter what quality the table is -- it just matters how it looks for photography.'"

dream's interpretation | Phony accomplishments give rise to airs, not genuine contentment (the dog placed on the plastic "marble" table).  Real contentment (the dog) arises from Self-knowing, based on nothing less than a fitting environment to express its natural gifts and talents.   Do not insist it is real enough now.  Rework the foundations of your lifestyle and thinking, to give rise to genuine satisfactory achievements.

A SLEEPING GODDESS | "I dreamt of being in a recreational center, rock climbing, and lots of men I know in my actual life were there. My ex-boyfriend was also there, and he was very muscular. I then saw pictures of him, in which he said he had 'tagged' me but they were all of him alone."

dream's interpretation | A difficult climb lies ahead (rock climbing).  Recall all good memories and positive associations with males (the men you know in your actual life) in order to strengthen your mind against a formidable negative association (the muscular ex-boyfriend). Your feelings are still attached, even if in reality the two of you are not (the pictures with you tagged, yet not present). Subduing strong, inner emotions is the real personal challenge (recreational, development grounds).

A SLEEPING GODDESS | "I was underwater in the ocean. I was scuba diving to 'get there', but I don't remember what I saw. Then I remember being above water again, and showing my mother photos. There was a photo of a guy terrified, with his body half in the water and a shark right behind him. We were talking about the shark and how it got there.  The rest of the photos were of my old childhood friend, back when we lived in a different country. I was telling my mom her story and showing the photos."

dream's interpretation | Search deep within your soul (scuba diving).  Through means unknown (not remembering what you saw) you will bring crucial truths  to the surface (the photographs).  Reflection upon the very foundations of your current mentality (in mother's company) shall occur.

FEAR, you will discover, is at the root of your identity (photo of a man with a shark right behind him).  How did this come to be?  More introspection is needed.  You will also discover where authentic living left off (the reëmergence of the childhood friend), and how the story can be reclaimed and resumed.
