Anybody can interpret dream? and what did you dream today?
 

Ok if anybody can help me
I had this dream today.


I was in a sort of old stadium made with rocks with a lot of other people which I think I’m familiar with. There were more than 20 or 30 of us and perhaps they are members of my church but I'm not sure.


Then we began to spot eagles flying past the stadium. I saw quite a number of them, mostly quite big and with wide wings flying over. As each passed I celebrated and rejoiced at the sight. All of them were golden eagles(dark brown in colors). One flew with shredded pieces of cloth still attached to its feather



Then I remember patting one in my hands for a very short time but when I looked at some other people what they got in their hands was not eagles but chickens.


I also saw three eagles who were sitting side by side on the ground and becoming fat and ugly because they wouldn’t want to fly and stayed in the stadium instead. Nobody was holding them though they didn’t appear to belong to anybody and that was the last thing I saw in my dream.


I don’t believe every dream has a meaning but if this one has one and you think you have the wisdom of interpreting pls do tell me. Thanks.:D

Serious or otherwise LOL

According to dream moods dictionary at http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary/

STADIUM

EAGLES

CHICKENS

Im no professional, but i do believe that dreams do have a purspose.. even when they dont seem to.

in the context of your dream, it appears that you hold yourself superior to certain individuals that you know or are social with.

the stadium, and eagles in your dreams represent your desire to be successful, and your need to be aggressive and assertive to achieve those goals.

that the eagles were "gold" tells you that your highest ambitions and desire is for wealth through the achievement of your goal.

inferiority in those you are close to or know in a social environment is suggested by the fact that your subconscious mind gave them chickens - a universal symbol of cowardice and inferiority - when you received eagles of gold.

EDIT:

for further inwardly focused learning i direct you to visit the site here http://www.colorquiz.com/ and spend a few minutes following the directions closely.

you might be amazed at the accuracy of a color test

Umm that's kind of quite correct actually :o

Umm the eagles weren't golden in colors they are dark brown or brown. But they are called golden eagles in real life.

i see :hmmm:

I might further suggest that the three eagles in the stadium who were growing fat and ugly - represent three people you know well.

these three people indicate that they too have lofty goals and a desire to succeed, but in your waking life - their actions have indicated to you that while they SAY they have a desire to go further and succeed - they are in fact quite contented with their current position and have no REAL intent to go further in life, and it disgusts you.

the question is, what three people do you know in that position?




again, im no specialist.

:o Scarily accurate actually :yep:

Honestly I don't know who those three people might be . . .I really don't

3 dreams you've abandoned?:hmmm:

I don't think they would be it. Perhaps they refer to time a 3 years time before I could reach those lofty ambitions :O:. I really don't know. As long as they are not prophetic they are merely an insight to my psyche I guess. And I don't think they are prophetic either.

I really do feel some people from my parish are really not an ideal practicing Christian. They are more afraid of powerful people than God thus the chicken would make sense.

That color quiz is quite amazing.

Well at least the second part. . .:DL

Wow, that colour test is pretty terrifyingly accurate, at least for me :o

hope you liked it.

Introspection and dream interpretation have been a couple of things i have enjoyed dabbling over the last several years.

I visit the dream dictionary weekly almost.

I always had my doubts on interpreting dream "symbols" as long as it are no "great dreams" in Jung's sense of archetypes. And these are rare. And schematically using encyclopedias on normal dream symbols is - well, it puts a smile on my face, but that does not indicate agreement.

If you think your mind is not just redigesting the experiences of your imminent past, but the dream stays on your mind and you think it "means" something:
Find a real person you can talk to and who is in knowledge of how Gestalt-work is dealing with dreams. It makes much more sense. In brief, what you asked for is to deal with your dream as if it were something different from you, that happened to you from the outside, with you and the elements of the dream being separates. Gestalt dreamwork means to understand that all experience of whatever it is, is within us, is made and created by us, and cannot be seen as sepaarte from us. Thus, you do not interpret external symbols, but you identify yourself with every element of the dream, and try to find out what the whole story looks like from that perspective. You do not have dreams: you are dreams.

1. You tell/remember your dream: "I had a dream of person X doing deed Y, in place Z.

2. You make the past the present: "I dream of X doing Y, in Z."

3. You overcome the separation. "I am X , now I am the process of the deed Y taking place, now I am the location Z where it happens."

How does it feel when you are that person? How does it feel to be the process of walking, what does it make you to think? How does it feel to be the road that gets walked on? What kind of road is it? What do you think about the guy walking on you? Where do you, the road, start, where do you lead? Etc etc.

Give every element of the dream - persons, objects, animals - a voice, like in a fairy tale. Identify yourself with every element. In the end, they all are you indeed: it is you dreaming, it is your mind forming these images. And nobody slid a chipcard into your brain with preloaded stuff like standardised dream symbols. :lol: If you would do Freudian dream analysis, you soon would see Mr. and Mrs. Sexus everywhere and in everything anyhow. :lol:

Interpreting dream symbols is fascinating and tempting. But most often it is a waste of time, and sometimes even a trap. You need to realise that the dream, every part of it, is you. Your mind does not speak to you as if it were any different from "you". You ARE your mind.

I think of some, reactive diseases, both physical and psychological, the same way, for example if they are stress-induced. People have no depressions - they ARE the depression. They have no cancer - they ARE cancer. Accordingly: you do not get rid of the depression, but yourself is changing. You do not get rid of that cancer, but it is yourself changing.

The last thing I dreamed last night was me researching a paper.... which means I probably need to get back to working on my speech.

Usually I can't even remember what I dreamed a few minutes after I wake up, and even while waking up I can feel myself forgetting what I just dreamed :hmmm:

I have had dreams where dream interpretation made a lot of sense. Dreams filled with symbology of successes and failures.

What really gets me is "prophetic" dreams. I don't have them with great frequency, but these dreams are an exact prediction of future events. Of course you don't immediately know that until some weeks or months later when you are experiencing verbatim the very thing you dreamt of.

Those moments when you think "whoa... I dreamed this last week"

Too often I have seen, heared of, read about people doing a random interpretation of their dream, which of course was not "objective", but made them believe it were, and so they ran into the trap of self-fulfilling prophecies.

And the "boah, I dreamed about this last week", or deja vu experince, it has been shown that it is possible - and that it actually happens - that it is a time-discrepancy in the synchronisation between both brain halves. This can be the case both towards simple visual stimuli, and longer, more complex cognitive representations on your mind. Both eyes'S retina for examplehave different optical nerve channels to the two sides of the brain, the part of the retina that is located towards the skull'S outside is linked to the bain-half on that side, while the inner helf of the retina is linked to the brain half on the other side of the skull. If visual stimuli is presented to the eye in a way that both eyes transfer the optical data to just one side of the brain, and only with a delay to the oder side as well, it can happen that you have a situation where the onje side of the brain for a moment does not know what the other side is doing and processing. WShen you relaise that you see something and attrubute your meaning and labels to what yoiu have seen, actually parts of the brain already have had that inpout s short while before - and you end up in a situation where your brain fools itself by letting you think: what I have seen now, I have dreamed of short time before.

Deja vu experience can be explained in other ways, too, but this is one of the most simple-structured explanations.

I do not say that people cannot have a sixth sense, prophetic visions, etc, actually I am convinced, for certain reasons, that these things exist. I just think that it is much, much rarer than it is often said. I think these things are more prominent amongst children, and the skill, gift, habit or whatever you think it is then gets lost or covered by adult's cognitive patterns. It is nothing superstious or supernatural, becasue if it exciosts, it is part of reality, and thus it cannot be supoernatural, but only can be linked to a part of reality that so far we have not understood or recognised correctly.

If you want to interpret symbols and examine how they fit into your life and have a meaning for you, do it in a more standardised way than just random dream symbols: use a system like Tarot cards, for example. Actually, in a context of councelling in life and spiritual questions, it is a method that I even would recommend. But possible that I use Tarot cards differently and less mechnaically/schematically than it is being described in most Tarot books. I used to combine again Gestalt work, and the way Rachel Pollack approached Tarot in her superb books. If you want to read and learn about Tarot cards, Rachel Pollack is the name to watch out for.

On a curious side note, years after I stumbled over these books by Pollack, I personally met and held a seminary with the translator of her first two books into German, at university. He was assistant to the prof who supervised my diploma work and one of my practice terms. :DL

I hardly dream well I probably dream more than I think but never remeber them. The last dream I remeber clear as daylight. I was standing in this valley where not far ahead of me I could see a wolf running towards me at first I thought nothing of it, to the right of me were some people shooting at this wolf the wolf was running like it was dodging its bullet and kept coming straight for me, as it got within 50yrds or so I started shooting at it as well with a handgun and as it got real close I manage to shoot it dead. The wolf was lying there a few feet from me dead then I woke up. The dream bothered me a bit the reasons there is no wolves in my country nor do I own a handgun so what was that all about?. I looked it up on the net and found out that dreaming of a wolf running towards you means if the wolf reaches you and attacks you your going to have financial hardship, if you kill the wolf before it reaches you, your going to have financial success :rotfl2:

Then I decided to do my own interpretation of my dream:

That night before the dream I was playing Battlefield and entered maps where a handgun was only allowed so I spent a good hour or so shooting with a hand gun. I have plenty of desktop pictures of wolfs - wolfs under a full moon wolfs in the background with a uboat running on the surface etc., So i'm always looking at them. So there's the reason for the handgun and the wolf. The people to my right shooting were probably my mind adding them from the Battlefield game as we all ran around with handguns.

I like to think the killing a wolf means success but till the day I dream of the winning lotto numbers I ain't taking dreams seriously:D

There is no such thing as self fulfilled prophecies in my opinion :O:

Prophetic dreams are prophetic dreams and they are NOT self fulfilled prophecies, they may not even be dream. They contain too many correct [predicted] FACTS to be a coincidence and too many out of self control [predicted] outcomes to be a self fulfilled prophecies as the prophecies cannot and really CANNOT be fulfilled by SELF and SELF only and most of the time not even in the slightest by SELF in any portion AT ALL. Believing it or not doesn't change the outcome and I have doubts whether they are changeable. People who say about self fulfilling prophecies imo probably never have had a prophetic dream in their life imo(no offense).

Of course very few dreams are prophetic in nature . . . .and knowing which one is prophetic and which are not takes wisdom and experience(insight) lacking either could make knowing which is which prove to be hard but my rule is prophetic is meant to be known as prophetic so they will hit like a ton of brick as to doubtful dream they can be safely discarded. As a religious I take prophetic dreams to be from God and not without reason too as with I believe most any other Christians. I have had prophetic dreams quite a number of time to be bold enough to come to the conclusion that nothing surprises God when it comes to event, I wouldn't call it predetermined by God but well the end is already known to God even before the beginning had had begun. It's our incapacity to be unaware of future events that make them seemingly uncertain. It's an illusion though as the future is CERTAIN(and to come to think about it made me really doubt about the existence of parallel dimension at all as nothing deviates). It's my conviction mainly stemming from past experience that God knows every fraction of second of my life before even I was born as He does every single born and soon to be born person. If not God is not worthy to be God. But many skeptics about God will use this to argue about things that they cannot comprehend but assumed their argument was somehow logical while the issue cannot be comprehended by ordinary people or blame God for everything that went wrong generally and somehow expected God to babysit everything because He can and because He's supposed to be good as not to allow bad things to happen especially to good people.

One thing for certain God hid Himself from the majority mankind and somehow appreciate the concept of faith when relating to Him because it is the only way for people to be made righteous so even those who have come to know God still need faith to relate to God from time to time as nobody knows God like knowing another person(because no one over rules God so obedience based on perfect knowledge would not make one to stand corrected and thus unable to receive grace even while grace is needed like for us). Only so few people(but then again not that few) that have had a personal experience with God and God IS ALWAYS personal when dealing with every person but that should not be a problem because FAITH is still what made people stand corrected, the more faith the more one stands corrected and the more he stands corrected the more grace he will see.

The correct attitude is important for one to experience God and most importantly to see [some] of the scriptures to come alive in his life time and to be able to relate to those verses when it is read saying inside I know that for a fact(even when it's not everybody's fact) and to come to know the character of God personally no matter how little and to come to know why God is really worthy of worship and praises. In the end it's not about religion but more about one faith in God. Religion will save no one and too many people lost God and replace Him with the worship of religion or change spirituality which is the attitude towards God which is constant prayers as we all are in constant connection with God, with mere physical rituals. And if God is really one and universal wouldn't that make God the God of every single other person irregardless of one's concept of belief of God or lack of it and irregardless one's state of spirituality or lack of it. And if God is really the God of everyone wouldn't that make all of us connected.....more intimately than most of us realize because we came from the same source and ultimately will end up in the same place?

:dead:

Belief. Religion. Missionary lectures. Well.

Okay - you asked for it:

I love the arrogance of religious rightousness. One may not have a way to counter an opposing argument by somebody, one may not have an argument based on reason or evidence oneself - but one can always dismiss the other by simply saying "I cannot prove you wrong nor do I care for what you said and gave in backing information, because I believe in God/witchcraft/pink flying elephants, and thus I simply believe different." I referred to cognitive sciences, and neuro science, talked of brain and dreamwork. You reply with God and how one must believe religion. Lovely.

This is something from a German theologican who was thrown into prison and later murdered by the Nazis, Dietrich Bonhoeffer. I have quoted it often before in recent years, but it seems the opportunities where it fits never become rare:

Why can't people leave their religion where it belongs: in private. By not doing so they make people like me feeling to just have wasted our good will and time.

Well for one I didn't consider anyone to have to believe in what I'm saying nor do I make the claim to be more righteous than anyone. Sure I can keep it private but I'm compelled to give my testimony in the hope of able to help anybody out there with hope. But more often than not I'm aware that many people would feel threatened with these kind of testimonies and reacted negatively or even in some cases violently because they consider their belief was under threat. I know I can't control how people would react but that didn't deter me from telling my testimonies and insight in the hope to reach those who would read, think and hopefully gain hope.

It was never my intention to tell other people they are wrong while I'm the most right because I'm not God who knows everything perfectly so I wouldn't be able to judge another person belief. I only meant to offer insight. That of which most people just don't or haven't realized yet. And it's not a belief it ceases to be a belief for me a long time ago when I was a kid, well it's a belief to you but the truth for me.

Edit: I'm sorry if it angered you but never in my intention that I was shouting or implying that anyone's belief is wrong.

You can give a room full of people horoscopes and they'll say the same thing. Then show them all are identical.
