Dream: Roaring Dream
Jun 04 2004

The Dream: I am standing on a jetty which reaches out into a lake. The lake is overhung by willow tress and the water is dark grey and slightly choppy. Some young men I do not know are standing on my left hand side. Suddenly they start to jump into the lake in glee and celebration. I decide to dive into the lake. I dive so deep that I reach the floor of the lake which is sandstone and a lovely creamy yellow colour. I stroke the bottom of the lake with my hand and then I push myself to the surface using a hard thrust of my feet. I push so hard that I fly out of the lake and hover suspended in mid air near the overhanging branches. I feel beautiful and have a vision of a country lane surrounded by flowing fields of crops. It is very green and tranquil and I see it so clearly and know that I am at peace with the earth. The vision fades and I am distracted by a bug of some description crawling on the left side of my head at the back and try to reach it but fail to catch it. I can see the bug with my inner eye, it looks like a large woodlouse. (wouldlouse?) Then suddenly I am grasped by the tail bone. I can see with my inner eye that it is a huge brown spider and her legs have caught me. I feel the legs go right through my root chakra and into my sacral chakra and it HURTS! I am hanging there, jacknifed and totally powerless. I do not sense menace from the spider but a sort of energy pouring into me which I interpret as pain.I real*eyes that the only way I can get away from the pain is to wake up. I do. Awake I can still feel my root chakra throbbing.

This dream was what I have termed a roaring dream, because when they first started many years ago, they would be announced by the sound of a great roaring wind. Niow I only hear explosions in my head as I am going to sleep and I know it is to be some sort of flying dream which is pretty lucid, but not very controllable.

The Interpretation

The Interpretation:
Pod,
Anything that has to do with large bodies of water usually represents deep emotional energies that are wanting or needing to be consciously recognized. In your case, having an awareness of the body's energy points, I suspect it has to do with a collective aspect of your psyche, creative/ spiritual aspects. Yet, as always in dreams, it also reflects some type of inability to access some great worth from your iner world due to conditions of the outer world {what Joseph Campbell called social duty}. Your animus is represented by the young men on your left hand side, masculine characteristics and potentialities that are significant components of your personal unconscious and therefore carry a special emotional charge. Left is often symbolic of the unconscious having to do with the collective, or in the case of the hero/heroine path the 'adventerous' aspect of your psyche. This aspect is full of dangers but if you recognize and integrate these aspects into your life there are great rewards. Their jumping into the lake may indicate the energies they carry are becoming active within your psyche {they need to be integrated}.
When you junmp into the lake you are acknowledging your inner world. For most this has to do with repressed or ignored emotions brought on by outward forces {emotions}. I see your dream having to do more with inner growth/awareness than with ominous ego-centric emotions, even though those forces always have a presence and influence. When you acknowledge these inner truths with your ego self you find tranquility and peace in your world. There is real personal growth in your life.
But there is a bug in the ointment that is your healing energy. Perhaps it is purely anxiety, your thinking self getting in the way of your inuitive Self. The inner eye is the intuitive Self, seeing what the physical eyes fail to recognize. This 'bug' is biting into your desire to grow, holding you back. It has burrowed itself into your psyche. The root chakra is your foundation. When this aspect is hurting then your whole life is out of balance. The brown spider is your feminine powers. Since there is not a sense of menace then I suspect this aspect is natural even though it can cause great pain when it is thought of as the only source of energy that can substain personal growth. To be too feminine without any masculine input is to be unbalanced in your life. The only way to get away from this pain is to wake up to the barriers {jetty} that harness your inner world to the social duty dragon. The roaring you ecperienced when you first started having these dreams may represent u nfullfilled expectations in your inner life. Now that they have become explosions may mean they have become even more necessary.

A joyous, harmonous life is one of balance in all aspects. There seems to be a lack of balance in some aspect of your inner world. This is common since few people really acknowledge the inner world and strive to make it a part of their ego centered life. I sense you are on a quest, and aware of it. Perhaps you have not fully appreciated the role of the masculine in your life in achieving these goals. Being more forceful, taking charge, asserting yourself may be needed to obtain what you seek. But this must be tempered with your feminine qualities {superior quailities} so not to become a wrathful warrior {aka George W. Bush}. This probably fits your external life but its main objective is to get you to focus on the inner worls more so than the outer. The inner world has the power to heal the outer wounds.

What is your outlook on life? Are you a creative person unable to fulfill these inner desires? Is the social dragon, the cultural world of material worth and financial rewards so controlling that you are unable to fully apprceiate your inner talents? I would like to hear from back you so I can examine your response to my interpretation. We can expand on your dream by examining that response.
Hope this healps,
Jerry

Dear Jerry,

Bless you for your work on this dream. I do so appreciate it. Yes, I think I am unable to fulfil this inner desire for creativity. I want to write my book but I am afraid that no one will believe me. It is going to be a difficult book to write.

The cultural world and financial rewards are so far away from me now. I "woke up" in Israel in 2001 and it has taken me a long time to integrate the experience into my psyche and etheric field. Knowing that the world and all that happens is an illusion and seeing it from the perspective of the mind of God was very freeing in some respects, but also terrifying. I was very much in my male energies (which I experienced as Apollo energy) up until January of this year.In response to a vision, where Apollo said he needed his sister and I became aware of the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. I went out to Turkey and "met" Sophia in a dark cave. "I will persist" she said over and over again.

When I returned to England, everything just shut down. I slept for almost a month and have spent so much time in my feminine energies, at times being too psychic and sensitive to even go out. I live alone and am financially secure so I do not need to work. The world at times feels like a strange place to me, and I do not always understand people's fascination with trivia when I can see so clearly the pain they are in.

Just lately, I have been "coming back" experiencing some real grounded joy of just being on earth and feeling safe. The day after the dream, I forced myself to go to the gym and really work out, the first time since returning from Turkey. I have been doing yoga at home. I was aware that my root chakra had shut down, and that I needed to open it and balance my "being" energies with my "doing" energies. Walking back from the gym in the sunshine, I truly experienced the earth and me as one, and everyone as God. I was aware of the oness of us all, but also aware at the same time of the individuality. I could see we were all aspects of God just doing our thing.

But this high energy coming into my system has opened my eyes to some real pain and grief in my heart (does it ever end) I do not know anyone who experiences things as I do and there is such a loneliness in it sometimes. I no longer know where I fit into this world.

You are so correct about the wrathful warrior energy, I see it in others and experience it in myself as a terrorist who is the exact opposite of the victim. When I feel victimised, I tend to leap into my terrorist mode.

I sense my inner male is just terrified of judgement. It's a big bug.

Cosmic twinkles,
Pod
