Hi, I am new to this forum but I am hoping maybe to get some answers to a few reocurring themes over my next few postings. One..My dreams tend to get overpopulated. I can be in a bedroom, bathroom or out in a forest but by the end of the dream I am surrounded by more people then I want. I can find my "living space" in a dream (apt, room, house, whatever) and sudenly I am living with many extra people and lots of bedrooms with someone in each bed. I can start fixing a small family meal and suddenly it becomes a neighood event. Any privacy is totaly lost in my dreams and my dreams take on a grand event feeling at times and I am just trying to find my way through it. In real life my life is quiet, just me, my husband and well, 7 cats. I am a wildlife artist and my husband is retired and we run a small internet business selling animal theme items. I don't get out much, and have a physical problem which prevents that anyway. Besides, I don't like crouds so I don't miss going out. I used to be pretty good at figuring out my dreams years ago but they get so involved, so vivid and are very colorful. I have come to the conclusion that these reoccuring themes may be just my mind's way of saying "pay attention and figure it out!" We have a lot of clutter in our life with this internet business as the inventory can kind of take over. That may be the "over populated" problem but I am not convinced that is totaly the cause. Any ideas?
Heya and be welcome colorspinner I thought maybe these dreams help you to find what you need in order to become more whole inside yourself. Like they help you to tap deeper into your own inner focus and be less distracted, and become your own inner sanctuary no matter how crowded this world is. And it's like they ask you to honor them for who they are ... as each comes to help you to open still more, to find this sacred place inside, and tap into your own well of healing and find none can really distract you from doing so. They too are all honoring you. My own dreams are always crowded with strangers ... and it's like the world opens through another's wondrous, unique facet of life, asking me for nothing but to be present in the connection, as much as I be present in my own sacred places deeper inside, and open to all that is. ... just thoughts
Some I wish would not honor me so much. Bedroom or bathroom scenes I find my self trying to lock the door to keep them out! (never works) Can't even have a romantic interlude without unwanted company....sigh Other times I don't really mind them as they do make the dreams interesting
