FOUR YEARS OF THROAT DREAMS

there's something stuck in my throat, i dont know what, each time i try to draw it out, i end up pulling out my tongue, and in the other dreams, my gut. this dream has been reoccuring 4 about 4 years now, and in the same pattern, except for must of the time i am rooting out my gut from trying to get out what is stuck in my throat.

As stated in the Dreamer’s Dictionary by Dr. Barbara Condron, “Will is set into motion by desire or fear, whether conscious or unconscious.”  What this dream is repeatedly bringing to your attention is how often you have something to say yet aggressively misuse your will by refusing to share what is on your mind.  This is usually brought about through passivity, blame, or anger.  In order to get what it is “stuck” out of your throat, there’s a need for you to be decisive and initiate activity on the fulfillment of your desires rather than getting caught in fear.

One practice that might help in expressing things left unsaid is starting a journal of your thoughts.  Before going to bed each night, write in a journal any and all thoughts in your mind.  In addition to the benefits of having a clear mind and more restful sleep, consistent practice of this will help you identify your own thoughts.  Things left unsaid can never be fully known until they are expressed.  As their expression is strengthened, less will be “stuck in your throat,” creating space for your talents, gifts, truth, love, and wisdom to come forth.  Things left unsaid will block everything from coming out, while the clearing of your throat allows for the possibly of all to be expressed.

    DREAM CAR CRASH KILLS MY EX

    On the 13th had a dream that my boyfriend & I was in a car crash, but we were fine. On the 17th had a dream that my recently ex-husband had a crash and he died. This is very strange to me to have 2 dreams of car crashes in one week and can remember them plain as day. I don't ever usually remember my dreams.

    female/KY, United States

    Response

    This dream doesn’t show any indication that you or anyone you know is going to crash in a car.  Dreams are messages from the subconscious mind, a deeper part of mind, that communicates feedback on the previous day’s attitudes, emotions, and activities through a picture language we call dreams.  The significance of having two car crash dreams in the same week shows that your subconscious mind is really trying to get your attention on something that needs to be addressed.

    These dreams of car accidents show a need to learn from mistakes, pay attention, and choose more carefully.  An accident, such as a car accident, is a mistake, an unintended outcome.  A car in a dream symbolizes the physical body of the dreamer.  Our actions have effects; they move us into new experiences, new opportunities, new outcomes on the “road of life” --- on the path created by our choices.  Making choices (with or without conscious awareness) that eventually or immediately harm the physical body, limit us, or block our progress through life lead to car crashes in our dreams.  Death, one of the biggest physical changes we experience, represents change itself.  You have an inner aspect of yourself that is similar to the main qualities you identify in your recently divorced husband.  It appears that you have recently experienced an unexpected sudden change in this aspect of you, or in how you express or use this aspect of yourself, as shown by your ex dying in the car crash.  

    You can start using this dream by asking some questions to find how it specifically connects to your waking life.  What has “gone wrong” recently, and what can be learned from it to improve your future?  How have your choices and recent experiences on the road of life affected your health?  How have your choices and experiences changed you?  Have you changed in a way that you desire or in an unwanted way?  Has your relationship to the deeper part of yourself, the spiritual part, changed recently?   The answers can help you to be a better driver on the road of life.

    Here we present a dream sequence submitted on this day from a Norwegian participant in the Olympic Global Lucid Dreaming Experiment

    FIVE LUCID DREAMS IN ONE NIGHT

    All five dreams were lucid.

    male/LS, Norway

    #1 The dream's vividness was very poor. The colors around me often changed, and all angles seemed off. It was like being in a painting done by both Salvador Dali and Picasso. I wasn't even sure if I was outdoors or indoors. There was a strong earthquake occurring only on the ground I was standing on, then I tried to take the dream from there. I don't remember why, but I kept restarting the dream until the point of the earthquake. I was also alone for the whole dream.

    #2 I was with my mom close to a small mall in their neighborhood. There was now a lake where there are fields in real life. I sat on a rock and looked into the water, when I found out that there were water snakes or something like that in the water. Someone told me that they ate fish, but they could bite humans, though they weren't venomous. I started to fear being bitten, but I also remembered how things you fear in a dream will happen in a dream. I saw some of them coming out of the water and trying to snap at my ankles. I ran uphill to get away, but I didn't stop fearing that they would come and bite me. So a few followed after me. My running was slooow. I figured they might go away if I focused on something else, so I started focusing on the scenery instead. It helped, I completely forgot about the snakes. Then I don't remember what happened after this.
     
    #3 Something about a game, and I summoned a gun while some dream characters tried to mock me.
     
    #4 I was shopping with a friend of mine. The only thing I bought was candy, which I ate. She told me that her parents were planning to redecorate some of the house, but I think she complained about their taste. We were then close to her parents' house, where I hovered around a little. I saw one of my martial arts instructors, and I thought about how I haven't seen him for a while in real life.
     
    #5 The dream started with several non lucid and lucid false awakenings. I kept thinking that it was time to get up in real life. During the last false awakening, I "woke up" at my parents' house, with the false memory that my oldest brother and me were staying over. I left my room and headed for the stairs. But when I looked out the window, I saw that a large passenger plane was trying to land on the large lawn outside our garden. I said out loud: "Ok, I HAVE to be dreaming now!" Even though I was lucid at this point, I plugged my nose. Doing this made me remember the Dreamviews advanced task of the month, though I wanted to play with the big airplane first. I made it stand vertically with only its nose touching the ground. I then made it spin around its own axis. I left the airplane alone after doing this, and I found a book that I wanted to absorb the contents of. I opened it and took a deep breath, but I ended up inhaling the book itself, it melted and stretched towards my face. I threw it away and decided to eat/absorb the colors in my dream instead. With a great deal of focus, and some deep breathing, I saw all colors fade, until my dream was in black and white. It looked really cool, but the effort made me wake up shortly after.

    Response

    These dreams are examples of how people from around the world are waking up to dream state realities.  Throughout this collection of dreams from a single dreamer in one night, lucidity, or being aware of dreaming while in the dream state, is prevalent: attempting to restart the dream in the first example, summoning a gun in the second dream, and even intentionally absorbing a book quite literally!  This dreamer shows an avid enthusiasm for new dream experiences, which is commendable in this field of research.  Nevertheless, there must be something said about acting responsibly in the dream state as new dreaming freedoms are experienced.  Cause, effect, and consequence all exist as much in the inner levels of consciousness, (where dreams come from), as they do in waking life.

    Dreams are messages from the subconscious mind in the form of images or pictures, which reflect the attitudes of the dreamer from the previous day.  In other words, the thoughts, intentions, emotions, and mental state of the dreamer is the “Cause” of the dream, which acts as the “Effect.”  In this pairing, they act as a dreamer’s own best friend, offering a wonderful communication for self-reflection and insight.  However, as dreamers become more awake in their dreams and begin to control the dreams, the actions taken in the dream state begin to influence the waking life, as much as waking life affects the content of nighttime dreams.  For conscious work to be a beneficial practice to the dreamer, there must be knowledge of what the dreams symbolize before the dreamer chooses to change the scope of the dream itself.  Without this kind of background dreamer’s end up causing effects that may or may not be wanted.  Although lucid dreaming can be entertaining, the School of Metaphysics teaches the need for responsibility in the dream state by learning the Universal Language of Mind before students are instructed to change anything in their dreams.

    These five dreams show a progression within the dreamer regarding how he is using his creative energy and what he is producing along the way.  The main symbol in dream one is the earthquake.  This symbolizes major changes that are occurring in the dreamer’s subconscious mind that are beyond his control.  Remember what has been said above about cause and effect.  It is likely the dreamer is feeling out of control already for actions taken in previous days and weeks.  Dream two highlights the need to be more high-minded or spiritual in his use of creative energies; without this perspective he is frightened by what he is producing (running away from the snakes in the dream).  The fear leaves him unconscious again.  In dream three the dreamer is aware that he has a tool (gun) for change, which is likely his ability to lucid dream.  However, he needs to be more serious about the power that he does wield.  Dream four also indicates a need to be more serious about the kind of knowledge and information the dreamer internalizes and the need to be disciplined as such.  The last dream reveals that there is a need to be much more cognizant about discerning the inner levels of consciousness and separating these from the waking physical mind.

    Based on the actions in these dreams, it is suggested that dreamer look for how this effected his life in the days and weeks following the dream.  Asking these questions will aid in identifying the effects.  How has my relationship with a major organization changed?  What am I avoiding regarding my creative abilities?  Have I responded to my increasing awareness of the importance of discipline?  We also recommend being the observer when he becomes lucid in dreams until he is fully aware of what changes he is causing within himself and even his environment.

    OUCH! A FINGER BITING FISH!

    I've been having a lot of dreams about fish lately and a couple of days ago, I had a dream that my fiance and I went fishing in our neighbor's pond.  She lives across the street from him and has no pond, but in my dream, she lived behind us in this fenced in field with a pond in it. We walked down there and this tall, skinny blonde girl with glasses went with us.  She was throwing food into the pond and these massive fish about six feet long came and started eating the food.  They were like a mixture between catfish and carp and they were gigantic but for some reason, when I caught one it was so easy to reel in.  I let it go and when we went to go sit on the rocks on the bank of the pond, it fallowed me and somehow, it slithered up the rock then it was right there in my face.  I jumped backwards and kind of fell and when I was trying to lift myself back up, it bit my fingers and I actually felt pain. E very time I have a dream about fish latley, they try to bite me.

    Response

    It sounds like your subconscious mind is trying to gain your attention!  Dreams are picture messages from the subconscious mind, a deeper part of mind, which comments on the previous day’s attitudes, emotions, and actions.  In much the same way that a trusted friend will give you feedback on your life and the choices you’ve made, the subconscious mind gives its feedback through the images in your dreams.  Universally, the people, places, and things in a dream represent parts of you and your experience.

    The main images or symbols in your dream revolve around your fiancé, the fish, and your hands.  Your fiancé symbolizes your relationship and growing commitment to your own ideals, dreams, goals in life: what we call commitment to self.  The person you desire to become and the capacity to use your life experiences to the fullest for learning and growth become highly important to those who honor this commitment.  The fish represent spiritual knowledge: knowledge that relates to you as a soul, while your hands represent your purpose in life. 

    With these images in mind, your subconscious mind is trying to help you become aware of your own strengthening connection to knowing your self as a soul, something that goes beyond identifying yourself only through your physical life and existence.  In short, your opportunity to connect with it is right at your fingertips!  The finger-biting giant fish shows that the knowledge of you as a spirit, as a soul, is quite apparent, recognizable, and trying to get your attention.  Combined with the presence of your fiancé in the dream, the dream reveals a very strong need for you to become conscious aware of this knowledge.

    Practices like concentration and meditation daily will help strengthen and focus the mind to see the world with eyes that see the deeper meaning of life and the lessons contained in each moment.  Finding a place where you can study in earnest these types of practices will help you make this connection stronger.  If you live close to Louisville, you can connect with the School of Metaphysics branch in that city.

    SNOWY BASEBALL DIAMOND

    In the dream, I started out in this balcony type-thing, but it had a roof on top of it.  The first time I looked over it, there was a baseball diamond below me, another time I looked in the dream, it was snowing. 

    My boyfriend was there too.  I think we were supposed to be on a date, or something.  Anyway, he said he would be right back, and left for a little while.  I was left to sit in a chair, and watch the game.  I had a white plastic bag with me, that I had to carry with me everywhere.  Other people were watching the game, but suddenly the baseball diamond had switched to snow, white and fluffy, like in the movies.  There was an old man sitting in the corner, too. 

    After a few minutes, I left to go to the bathroom.  I was sitting in the stall when I heard my boyfriend poke his head through the door, and ask me if I was okay.  I said that I was, and then I woke up.

    Response

    This dreamer is observing how life is revealing itself.  Sometimes it seems to be entertaining and at other times it seems stagnant.  This view is supported by the dreamer’s reliance upon subconscious mind which may indicate psychic perceptions or intuitive connections.  What she has perceived leads to the need to release thoughts and emotions that no longer hold value to her. 

    A key in this dream may be the white plastic bag.  Although the dreamer does not seem to know where the bag came from or what it contains, she does know she is to carry it with her everywhere.  The bag would symbolize a receptivity that is pure.  The dreamer might see this as open-mindedness or an innocence and curiosity.  In this, the dream is encouraging her to remain open even when what she sees happening around her seems not to change, to be “frozen”.  Letting go of what is of no use to her will be helpful.

    A LOT OF MESSY BIRD POOP!

    I was sitting on my moms house porch with her, a neece and a nephew when we saw a flock of white birds. They were flying in a circle and each time getting closer to where we were sitting then as I saw them near I said, " Hurry Lets go inside" and my neece and nephew followed me inside but my mom stayed out and from inside the house I shouted to her, "Come on mom, hurry"  In my dream my mom seemed skeptical but finally she went inside, right after she got inside the house all the birds started pooping we could all see it through a window at the door, (in reality this is how my moms door is) it was alot of it, I mean ALOT! I said, "good thing we came inside on time."After the birds were gone I checked myself, I had pooped, a little on my clothes and my mom, neece and nephew had some too, even though we had gone inside the house on time we were still able to get someon our clothes. What does this mean?

    female/CA, United States

    Response

    The house in this dream represents your state of mind from the previous day.  If this is the house that you grew up in, it is a state of mind, or attitude, that is very familiar. It may be an attitude that you often had when living at home.  If this is not the house that you grew up in, the significance is that it belongs to your mother. Mothers represent inner authority, what some may refer to as the conscience. Your niece and nephew represent different parts of yourself.  If you were to describe them, this would tell you what parts that they symbolize.  An example of this may be that your niece is a good listener, or she is sweet, or maybe she is stubborn.  Whatever quality you see as most outstanding in her will determine what she represents in the dream.

    The major symbol is the birds.  Birds are a way to symbolize a creation that is our mind.  As the creation approaches (comes closer to appearing in your waking life) maybe there is some second-guessing on whether you really want it to occur.  For instance, imagine one of your girlfriends being a big flirt, directing her flirtations towards a guy at her work.  She might think about what it would be like to be in a relationship with this person, visualize what it would be like.  This is the creation of the idea.  Then it begins to appear in her life.  This person begins to ask her out, and all of a sudden she’s are not sure if she wants a relationship.  This is one example.  It could be a change in jobs, going to school to learn something different, anything that you have thought about a lot and is now beginning to appear in your life.  The need is clear.  Take responsibility for what you are attracting with your thoughts and make a decision.  Avoiding the situation is affecting the way you express yourself.  The bird droppings on your clothes symbolize this.  One suggestion is to begin to slow your thinking down.  This can be accomplished through practicing concentration exercises daily.

A man said you park here and go sit in the lot where it is written Google. I parked the car and took all my papers file etc from back seat and went fast toward google lot to get started with the class.

    There is something new in your life that is giving you the opportunity to learn in relationship to your physical body as shown by the air classroom in the parking lot.  This could be a new diet, an exercise routine, or even the practice of hatha yoga.  Whatever you are about to learn can help you organize your thoughts and memories.

    KNIFED IN THE BACK AND BLEEDING PROFUSELY           

    Hi, I dreamed that I was in my college town with a friend from college. We were walking around downtown, then we headed to her house (not her real house but in the dream I thought it was her house) and when we were a block away from it, there was a guy installing a traffic sign and he happened to be our subcontractor (I don't know who the guy is).Anyway, that guy looked upset in the dream and after dropping  off the sign he took off driving like crazy. I was upset because he was our subcontractor and he was putting the public in danger and I knew he had to go to another location to install another sign. Anyway, we got to the house and over there we found my friend's brother (She doesn't have a brother in real life) and we started to chat about the incident and I said that the subcontractor was stupid, irresponsible, etc...

    Then the brother and I were alone in the hallway of the house and as we were chatting, I noticed he was upset then he hugged me and said: How are you feeling? and I said: I could be better... and he replied: I know...  at that moment I felt a heave weight in my back... and looked down and saw the tip of a knife coming out of my chest directly below of my sternum.After that everybody disappear in the house, I freaked out and slowly got out of the house... I was bleeding (I felt my back and chest wet with the blood). Then I started walking uphill on the street towards the intersection. I was able to see that there was a hospital but I felt heavy and couldn't walk fast. Then, a woman came out of a building close to the house and I said: Please tell my husband that I love him and.... (was saying more things but my mouth got full of blood and the words were inaudible)....Anyway, I continued walking and finally got to the first floor of the hospital, by then I was all covered with blood, red blood, it was so abundant that I thought I was going to die (I thought I was going to day when I saw the knife but I wanted to live, that's why I walk out looking for a Hospital).When the people saw me in the hospital, other patients were normal like I was fine, but the ER people got me.... I was on an elevator on my way to the Emergency room when I woke up.

    There are a few things to remember about dreams.  First is that dreams are symbolic, they are presented in picture language or Universal Language of Mind.  Secondly every person in the dream is an aspect of the dreamer.  Thirdly, the message in the dream is about the dreamer’s thoughts and attitudes the day before the dream occurs.

    With this in mind, take a look at the symbols that are most important.  A college town and a college friend, are connected to learning.  The crazy subcontractor is an aspect of your inner self.  This is the part of you that may at times be “stupid, or irresponsible”.  “Blood in a dream represents life force.” (The Dreamer’s Dictionary by Dr. Barbara Condron).  A knife represents a tool for change, like concentration, meditation, something that you have that can cause a change in your self and in life.  A new job, a new baby, a marriage, other circumstances in our life may also cause a change.  Because blood is very predominant in your dream we will investigate a little further about life force.  Under Thoughts to Consider in The Dreamer’s Dictionary it suggests asking these questions, “Am I fully using the life force available to me or do I tire often?  Do I easily relate to other people or find interaction mentally and physically depleting?”  Realize your interrelationship with others endeavoring to give and receive completely.  Learn to respect the power in all life forms.”  The hospital in the dream means that there is a need for healing or give attention to healing your self.

    Consider what you did and especially what your thinking was the day before the dream.  There was something in your thoughts that caused you to become tired.  Because there was much blood in the dream coming from you, there was some situation that left you very drained.  If you can decipher what the thoughts are that cause this, then you can cause the change.  What vitalizes people the most is to have a clear purpose, or benefit in mind behind every activity that you do.  The Purpose of Life by Dr. Daniel Condron is an excellent way to create purpose in your life for learning in every situation.
