       Dream Interpretations
   DIR By: Wolfy
       Date: August 2, 2017, 11:29 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       I have deleted a few boards from the Fun & Games section to
       clear up the place a little bit. I think it's time for fresh
       settings and topics and the like, to go hand in hand with the
       style make-over and the overall appearance of the forum now. I
       also find it is much cleaner to have a new topic every now and
       then when one has been filled to at least three or so pages. The
       forum often asks by default if you wish to post in a topic that
       hasn't been responded to in a while, so I'm adjusting a few
       things and keeping it clear of that happening too often.
       I should have posted this a little earlier, shortly after I'd
       woken up, because it's not as fresh in my memory now as it was,
       but I will try and add as much detail as I possibly can. I have
       no real clue as to where it might have come from, though I have
       focused a fair bit on George as of late, but never to the extent
       of this dream. I was having a conversation with Edu (  Pattie's
       mun  ) just the other day about ' Grey Cloudy Lies ', however,
       so I'm wondering if it's all just a direct result of the misery
       that put me in as I got to thinking more about it, again. I
       remember the first time I actually heard that song and how, not
       long after, I found a snippet of an interview, suggesting George
       had contemplated suicide and that song was written more or less
       just after. I wonder if all those thoughts floating around in my
       head a second time have been getting to me too much, without my
       realising it.
       From the few sequences I can remember, I was being held by Ravi
       Shankar .. for some reason, I was sitting across his lap as a
       child would their fathers knee when being comforted, and I was
       half crying——half drifting off to sleep, as we sat in this
       greenhouse, in a very large garden, listening to the sound of
       George Harrison's voice from somewhere. That was the part that
       bugged me most after I woke up, because I couldn't figure out in
       the dream where the voice was coming from. Via the weight of
       feeling in the dream, I can safely assume that he had passed on
       and that was the reason I was so upset, but the fact that I
       dreamt of Ravi comforting me, was a little unusual. I absolutely
       adore him, but it was just one of those ' ... eh? ' moments. I'm
       still trying to piece bits of it together, but that was the
       majority of what happened.
       I should also note that within the greenhouse, there were many
       plants and flowers, but also dead carcasses of many little
       critters, and that disturbed me so much, that was the reason I
       woke up from it. I have no idea what it meant; perhaps I am
       still grieving, but it was so very strange.

       I tried replying to this before and it didn't post, I do
       apologize about that. Good on you for starting new idea/posts to
       go with the new style!  I have indeed heard Grey Cloudy Lies and
       it struck a chord with me, it brought back a few memories I had
       over the years when times get tough and you just...don't see
       anything except the overcast grey that covers your world when
       depression takes it's hold. He captured the feeling very much
       and I wholeheartedly believe that it could have acted as a fuel
       to the perfect storm resulting in your dream. Our minds are like
       amazingly intricate lock boxes that you never quite know what's
       stored away until something opens the locks. I hope my reply
       makes sense...and I hope I'm able to help.
       I did a little digging in the books I've got and perhaps
       George's voice was acting as a spiritual guide of sorts? Ravi
       was there giving you the psychical comfort/reassurance in the
       dream while George's voice acted as a way to pull you towards
       something. I've also read that if a dream is set within a
       greenhouse or anywhere there is dense vegetation ( a forest of
       thick lush greenery or fields of flowers ) it could be said that
       it's a manifestation of a success conquering of a hardship or a
       change in your life. As far as the carcasses, and I know those
       things are terrifying in a dream, I believe they could have been
       meant to represent hang ups in life or challenges that bogged
       you down they also can act as catalyst for your success,
       ultimately a cosmic Miracle Gro for your dreams and
       accomplishments. I hope this makes sense...it sounded so much
       more coherent in my head.

       I am so thankful you've heard that song! it isn't one of his
       most upbeat or cheerful, of course, but through that period of
       his life, it fit. I seem to connect to that song a lot more as
       of late with the way I have been feeling, so I suppose that, in
       addition with the words of that song, brought on such a horrible
       && difficult dream to begin with. I seem to go through these
       phases often, where I will be stuck on one celebrity for a few
       days or a few weeks, then another and so on, but always the same
       group of celebrities and rarely anyone knew I have taken a shine
       to. When I had that dream, it was all about George and I think
       that in itself drops my mood considerably because of the fact
       that he is no longer around.
       Thank you so much for looking into this one for me. It's been
       bugging me since I had it and I still haven't really figured it
       out for myself, so this has helped in many ways. I like the idea
       that it being in a greenhouse suggests overcoming hardships,
       because with the struggle I've faced lately, within myself and
       of an emotional range, it's so nice to hear that perhaps that
       struggle is coming to an end very soon. It definitely makes a
       lot of sense and is helping me to put all the puzzle pieces
       together, so don't fret! x) I'll have to think a little while on
       what is really the source of how I feel lately and then go from
       there so I can try and work it all out.

       I've no idea what in the world is going on with myself in the
       resting world but this creeped me out.
       The dream starts when I'm out in the backyard with the dogs,
       nothing new there. Off to the left of the house is this ancient
       looking cooler, the old metal box type and the dogs are going
       insane at it. I blink and I'm in front of it and I ( stupidly )
       open it. Inside there are severed body parts but it looks like
       they're all from different people. I end up screaming my head
       off a woman comes out ( honestly haven't seen her in my life)
       and walks me back into the house and somehow whips out the phone
       and calls a number. I can barely make out what she's saying
       because I'm still screaming so she ends up putting the
       conversation on speaker phone and whomever she was talking to
       just goes 'She found another one?' I then woke up. I wasn't sure
       if I should laugh or cry at this one.

       I have had some pretty restless dreams myself over the last two
       or three weeks, but they've been fairly scattered and not every
       night thankfully. Your dream sounds horrifying and I would have
       been pretty afraid to sleep the following night to be honest.
       I've been browsing around and stepped into a few of my favourite
       sources to figure out some meaning behind some of the symbolic
       things within your dream.
       Backyard : To dream about your backyard represents your
       childhood memories or your subconscious. Alternatively, dreaming
       of your backyard refers to the secrets you are keeping. There
       are some aspects of your life which you want to keep hidden and
       out of the view of others.
       Cooler : To see a cooler in your dream represents someone who is
       frigid or who has cold personality. As the cooler is feminine
       symbol representing the womb, the dream could mean a female in
       your life who is emotionally cold. Alternatively, the dream may
       be telling you that you need to cool off or that you need to
       "keep your cool". Consider what is inside the cooler.
       Body Parts : You need to undertake a transformation and there
       may be some disturbing situations that you are going to
       encounter or possibly you are going to fail in some aspect of
       your life. From all my research this dream is a positive omen.
       After all, after death, only success can come. You must remember
       that, especially if the dream was unpleasant.
       Wow, so all of that flipped around in different ways to find a
       solution and answer to some possible meaning behind your dream,
       I would personally go with the idea that there's someone in your
       life right now who prompted this sort of dream and the state of
       that situation is so extreme that the body parts you dreamt of
       is a way out of it ( by way of transformation, change, a new
       direction ). I'd probably want to figure out whom that person is
       that's causing such a large amount of grief and I know you've
       been struggling when it comes to dealing with certain family
       members as of late, so I'd look into that to find out who, as
       well.
       Unless, of course, it's me! I feel like I've been a little more
       closed off lately from everyone, by my own doing, so have some
       guilt now that I've looked into this and am wondering if it's
       maybe a reflection of how you feel in relation to how little
       I've been around as of late. Now I'm seriously starting to think
       it might be me actually, aha. Purely from the cooler part of
       your dream, whether it connects to the body parts inside it or
       not, I feel like the ' frigid and cold personality ' could very
       easily be interpreted as how I may have been recently. From
       that, though, I'm not sure where the transformation part would
       fit in, but it definitely seems overall as though that person in
       your life that is clashing with your personality / mood in any
       way, has prompted the dream.
       Looking into it a little more deeply, it could also represent
       the actual person themselves who has the cold personality. That
       they are broken and / or lost in ways and so, the body parts
       could be involved in that way somehow and not a direct message
       that you yourself are in need of transforming? That is also a
       possibility I would look into! that'd swipe a lot of worries off
       your shoulders, too, I think.

       I'm so sorry it's taken me a bit to get back to you on this one.
       The interpretations you put above make perfect sense honestly. I
       didn't want to put it all out there on Tumblr for everyone to
       see because, well, it's Tumblr. I trust you infinitely more than
       I'd ever trust anyone else on there. Sorry if it's sort of a
       ramble but I'll do my best to try and get things down to explain
       what happened.
       Okay, so changes have occurred, nothing earth shattering ( well,
       maybe for me ) but to a normal person probably not so much. I
       had a bit of a falling out with my second eldest cousin, she's
       just finished moving into my aunt's place because she just
       couldn't afford to make a go of things where she was living. She
       and her partner lived there together for about four years and
       after he passed away she just couldn't make ends meet. Now, you
       know me I'd walk across hot coals and broken glass for the
       people I love but I started noticing a pattern with her asking
       me for help. It mostly involved taking my aunt places and care
       of things that normally would have fallen on my cousin to do.
       Now I don't mind, really I don't. My aunt's got mobility issues,
       is on oxygen and has given up her license and honestly I love
       her so I really would do anything for her.  But at one point
       about a month ago I was out of the house nearly every single
       day, sometimes twice a day taking my aunt all over ( which is a
       bit of a drag because she flat out refuses to leave her dog at
       home and there's only so many times I can clean up dog vomit
       from the back of the car in a day.)  About two weeks ago my aunt
       called and asked me if I could please pick up a few odds and
       ends for her and my cousin. My aunt was under the impression
       that my cousin went to work  and wouldn't be back until late
       that evening. Not unusual because it normally takes her two
       hours to get home because of the commute.  So, the time came to
       drop off said groceries and I'm loaded down with shopping and I
       notice my cousin's car is parked in the driveway, I thought for
       a second that maybe she had someone pick her up or maybe she's
       gotten out early for the day and I'm trying to open the front
       door and not drop those stupid paper bags. I must have fumbled a
       bit because the next thing I know my cousin's in my face telling
       me to get a move on and how could I be so stupid as to not know
       how to open a door properly? I stood there for a millisecond
       with my mouth hanging open in shock. Who talks to someone else
       like that? Come to find out my cousin took a personal day and
       was out shopping for clothes when my aunt called. She can go and
       shop for herself but not for her own mother?
       Honestly, this wasn't the first time she'd done that to me but I
       usually just wrote it off as her being in a 'mood'. You would
       have thought at this point a normal person would have just
       thrown the bags at her and told her sit and spin but me being
       the glutton for punishment that I am I went in and went about
       putting things away. I think I was more on autopilot because in
       those situations I sort of shut down. The ex best friend used to
       belittle me something terrible and call me every name in the
       book for 'Idiot' under the guise of 'only joking'. According to
       her I was a stick in the mud that was too sensitive. But that's
       a bit of a side note.
       She then lights into me about not being able to do anything
       correctly. [i]"I can see why you still don't have a job, you're
       so slow it's sickening. Two hours to get groceries? Couldn't you
       figure out the words on the labels? They'd never let an idiot
       like you around children anyhow."[/I]
       Lisa-Marie, I saw red. One, did she forget that I actually hold
       a degree in education? Two, I did it for four freaking years! I
       was already upset but that was the icing on the damn cake. I'm
       usually slow to anger but at this point I was fuming. At this
       point my aunt comes out into the kitchen and calls Cousin
       Dearest out on her crap and that's when the water works start.
       At this point I've had it and I just hold a hand up and go "Will
       you just shut the **** up for once in your miserable existence?
       It's always how your life is so hard and everyone's so mean to
       you. Did it ever occur to you that you're just a frigid whiny
       little **** who doesn't think of anyone but herself? Oh, and by
       the way, expect a very detailed email concerning an itemized
       bill for your groceries and other expenses that I've covered for
       you. I expect payment in cash each week and fully intend on
       collecting it." I hugged my aunt and walked out. I've since
       emailed my cousin the bill and have yet to hear anything back.
       I'm still in contact with my aunt and she's just about had it
       with the cousin and come to find out my other cousins have all
       had falling outs with her as well because of the attitude. At
       first we thought that she was still grieving, which is totally
       understandable. Or perhaps it was stress from her job, also
       understandable. But this entire attitude has been a problem for
       a very very long time and I think people are just fed up with
       her. She's pushed everyone in her life away and as upset and
       hurt as I am with her I also pity her. I once asked her about
       two years ago if she had ever thought to go counseling because
       it might help her get a handle on things. I even offered to make
       her an appointment and take her if it came down to it but I was
       quickly and rudely rebuffed because according to her, and I
       quote, "Only total desperate people go to shrinks. I'm not like
       you." I guess I wasn't the only one to mention it to her because
       my aunt also mentioned that the cousin's boyfriend had tried to
       get her see someone for as long as they had been together but
       she would throw a fit. I've just washed my hands of her, I know
       that must make me sound like a complete heartless witch but I
       can only be belittled so many times. Ugh. I mean I know she's
       family but to treat someone like that it is inexcusable. If
       there is some sort of chemical imbalance or deeper problem going
       on I wish she would get help but jeesh. I think I'll just avoid
       her like the plague.

       I think there is an option on this forum under the admin section
       for me to make some boards private, so for extra security
       purposes and privacy I think I will implement that one for more
       personal topics, so that way it feels more secure and safe! :-)
       please don't worry about the delay, I feel like I've been a lot
       more neglectful in that sense and did not see this response at
       all, so it's been a little while with me replying and I
       apologise!
       I am honestly so gobsmacked that I don't even know where to
       start on this one. I don't think I have ever had a family member
       treat me so horribly, but I rarely see any of my family members
       that aren't like immediate relatives. We used to have get
       togethers or pop in to each others houses a time ago but it has
       been pretty much a ' ghost town ' where communication goes these
       days. I think the worst thing that ever happened between family
       members in this one was when one of my cousins, whom now has six
       children, gave her first to my aunt because neither parent nor
       child could stand one another and as the child got older, still
       chose to live with her grandmother instead of her mother and
       that just goes to show how unbelievable that cousin is. I never
       got along with her and when we were younger and me and my
       brother would stay around at my aunts house a lot, that cousin
       was something wicked and it never seemed to go away; she was
       horrible to both of us but I used to get irate when she would
       pick on my brother because he was all of five or six at the time
       ( and my brother and I actually got along then! aha  ), so I
       used to stick up for him and that was probably the only time in
       my life I ever opened my mouth toward something I disagreed
       with. I've never forgiven her for being such a cowbag and I
       don't think I ever will. I still can't believe she has so many
       kids and only two of them have the same father. She first got
       pregnant when she was 16 and didn't learn her lesson so kept
       having children and it kinda knocks me a little sick with the
       way she went about doing that, honestly. She says she loves
       children but to do it that way seems really off.
       Sorry for going off on a bit of a tangent! I feel like what your
       cousin has done there is so, so much worse in several ways. I
       cannot believe she had such nerve as to call you out on anything
       when a) you're not even at fault in anything you do and b) she
       was perfectly capable of doing those things herself, but it
       looks to me as though lazyitis got the best of her at one point,
       or she is just severely incapable of doing anything for anyone
       but herself. I'm always so riled by situations where people
       won't do things for their family members whom are clearly
       struggling and for her to not look after her mother in those
       ways knocks me a little sick. I couldn't imagine not doing
       everything possible for my mother and she suffers with MS and
       lethargy and muscle weakness do prevent her from doing things
       most days, so I am always on the ball and doing them for her.
       With your aunt being unwell and not as able to look out for
       herself with certain tasks, your cousin shouldn't even have to
       be asked to do those things, they should come naturally and that
       is what's bothering me the most, I think. I'm so angry that she
       would even dare say those things to you, too. After all you have
       been doing and how you go out of your way just to help and then
       realise that your cousin is just looking for an ' easy way out '
       of doing anything, is appalling and I would have been so done
       with anyone in my family whom treated anyone like that a long
       while ago. I think that is the sour cherry on top, you finding
       that she was home and that she had only been out shopping for
       clothes and not actually working. I would have been seething and
       I do not at all blame you for wiping your hands of her.

       Hey there! I’ve been doing a little digging on your Loki dream
       and I’ve found a few tidbits for you. 1.) Dream dictionaries do
       not feature sections about dreaming of Norse gods. 2. Loki,
       while being a central Trickster God is also a Deity of Change.
       Meaning if he’s reaching you in the realm of dreams change is
       coming. Now it doesn’t state if the change in your life is huge
       or small he’s just there to sort of guide you. It’s been said
       that even though he is a chaos god he still has a soft spot for
       humans, women and children in particular. He’s not trying to
       scare you I don’t think. Perhaps he came to you because he knew
       you were open and accepting?
       I’ll keep digging my dear. I hope what little I did find was
       able to help.
       P.S. I’ve also found a few posts on a few New Age sites that
       mention some old school followers of the Norse ways that have
       worked with him as a guide god have had things go a little pear
       shaped a first. Like they have prayed to him set out an offering
       and had a small set back before a positive event in their life.
       P.P.S. I’ve additionally found that Saturday ( originally called
       Laurardag, which was formed from loki’s Name ) is connected to
       him. If you do decide to make an offering to him he’s not picky.
       He’s quite fond of the following;
       - Alcohol ( specifically the cheap stuff ) he’s fond of bad
       whiskey, spiced liqueurs ( spiced rum, mulled wine, which is
       traditionally offered but not always available) and beer. But if
       you’re going with beer don’t get the really really cheap stuff.
       Go with something you yourself would drink.
       - Food: He’s got. Sweet tooth. Literally any cake or biscuit
       will do. He’s a weakness for sickenly sweet candies as well and
       red foods so if you’re going the color route offered things.
       It’s said he also has a soft spot for spiced things as well. In
       addition to spiced cakes he enjoys spicy food in general so
       perhaps a hot pepper would be appreciated.
       Objects: Cheap toys. Think Happy Meal types. Toy boats are
       enjoyed as he has a son with a love of the sea.
       Found objects, if you happen to be out and about and come
       acrosss something that reminds you of him take it and offer it
       to him. He’s not picky at all, in fact he seems to appreciate
       the cheaper things all the more.
       Incense & Smells: Think strong but not overpowering. Cinnamon,
       Cotton Candy, Mulled wine or a peaty smelling whisky.
       Acts of Service to him: donate to charities that benefit
       children ( he has a soft spot for them ), the mentally illl, the
       homeless, the elderly. If you happen upon a beggar perhaps give
       some change. He is happiest with those that let go of their past
       hurts and put their best foot forward.

       Not really an interpretations per say, more like a 'wtf is going
       on during Maggie's REM cycle?' type thing, but I've tried to
       post this sucker on Tumblr for ages now and it won't post for
       some reason.
       Had a dream that you and I were walking down a street, very non
       descript type place but we were in the city somewhere, nice
       bright sunny day you know, and we were talking and turn to me.
       Here's how our conversation went.
       You stop and turn to me, "We've named a baby after you, you
       know?"
       Me, without skipping a beat, "Oh, have you now? That's so sweet.
       Where is it?"
       You point clear across the road and go "That one." to which I
       fumble for a moment when I realize that said child isn't yours
       and is now being pushed by it's mother away from us in the
       stroller. I just nodded and went "Wonderful!" and we went about
       our conversation and our leisurely stroll as if that little
       interlude never even happened.
       Now, I know that you and your fella will be a set of the most
       wonderful parents on Earth and I also know that you both have
       much better taste in names than what I was named. ( I should
       point out it was left up to my father and it took him ages to
       come home after I was born. He's never once given the reason as
       to why he liked my name he just did. My parents didn't even give
       me a middle name just an initial. ) Lord. Talk about weird
       dreams indeed.
