Dream about witches/ running a race

[clara927]

Hello Everyone,

For the past two weeks, I've been having a dream every night, (one night I had awaken from sleep 3 different times and had 3 different dreams) some of them pleasant, some of them unpleasant, most of them confusing. There was a dream I had last night that I felt like I really needed insight into.

Last night, I dreamed I was a witch. There were a group of witches that I was with that were all around my age. The witches also ran cross/ country track. In the beginning of the dream, we were all running a cross-country race. Part of the race took place on a bridge. Sometime after this part of the dream, I stopped doing witchcraft and revealed the others who still were somehow. So from then on I was a traitor to them. A witch I had told on reminded me of this and said, Im paraphrasing from what I could remember of the dream, "If you're not a traitor, then let your food not be poisoned." She was preparing this mix of different colored grains. So I followed her to where she would make the food that might be poisonous to me. Just before I ate it, I woke up.

This dream did make me a bit anxious and I appreciate any interpretation/ insight that anyone has into what this may mean. Thank you

Hi Clara,

As you know dreams are multi faceted and can have meaning on many levels. In dream symbology to dream of witches or being a witch oneself is connected to the way in which the dreamer feels about themselves on a deep level. It is part of the self that the dreamer does not like or is fearful of. It is about lack of self love, a part of the self that needs changing.

Some character traits linked to the symbology of a witch are self dislike, a tendency to being manipulative and controling. Not seeing the inner beauty within. In some cases it can be connected to karmic debt, a misuse of power in the past. Power not being used creatively.

In the dream you are with a group of witches. This may indicate that there are people around you that exhibit these qualities. Or it is these qualities you notice within them and are unhappy with. So be watchful of who you associate with.

In the dream you are running in a race with these witches. In dream symbology races, point to you competing with yourself. This may indicate inner conflict. That you are running to get away from a part of yourself you do not like. Aspects of you, you believe are ugly and negative.

It is important to look at whatever it is you do not like and work with it. Understand it, often these are superficial things and not the real you. See past these things, to your inner beauty. Integrate all parts of yourself to unite them. Splitting ourselves up into parts we like or do not like, is not healthy. When we accept and work on all aspects of the self it will get rid of inner conflict and bring harmony and inner peace.

Bridges in dreams are connected to transitions. Leaving the old way of life and being, to move forward into a new phase. In life you may be on the threshold of a new direction. Which is a very positive thing. Indeed in the dream you say you are no longer a witch. So this is showing to me that you are beginning to look past the superficial and reason through any irrational feelings about yourself that you may have.

Bridges can also indicate a bridging of levels of consciousness. The creative/intuitive with the intellectual. So you are using your inner senses and reasoning through your intellect, to understand yourself more. This will prove to be extremely helpful to your self belief and spiritual growth.

Food is about nourishment of the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual self. You are warned in the dream that your food may be poisoned. Poison symbolises negative thinking, fear and judgment. So be watchful of your tendency to be over critical of the information you take into yourself. Be discerning yes, but be cautious about how your tendency to negative thinking can spoil the nourishment you take into yourself.

Dreaming about eating can also be connected to your thoughts at this time about the food you eat in life. So this may indicate that you have been over thinking and dwelling on the negative with regards to what you eat.

An interesting dream Clara. This is only my interpretation of it, so please only take from it that which resonates with you and leave the rest. I would appreciate your feedback.

Love and light
Kaz

Hello Kaz,

Thank you for interpreting my dream. I've always been fearful of unexplored parts of myself and it may be why I held myself back in a lot of different things, in many different areas. Im always afraid of upsetting others or becoming "evil" or "double-minded". For example when I think about business, it often seems like you have to be crafty or secretive to get anywhere. Not necessarily because you're that way, but often to protect yourself from people who do mean you harm. I've always found it difficult to play the game because its very difficult for me not to be direct and I've been intimidated by social situations where you have to "schmooze" and "hob-nob". Many people that I admired seem to be at ease or at least competent in those situation and because I haven't been in the past, I've felt like I was not as good as them. On the other hand, I;ve always felt like if I did become like them I'd slowly become "evil" and I would lose the person I thought I was.

As far as people around me... I don't talk to many people for that reason. I want to avoid bad company, but I question if Im handicapping myself. If someone was doing something clearly negative or had an overwhelmingly bad energy then of I wouldn't want to be acquaintances or friends with them, but what about grey areas? I find that Im very judgmental, and I know that there are many people I stay away from for good reason, but I wonder if I've ever judged some to quickly. It would be great if in the world, every person I know or met was like the people on this forum, but is it healthy to have that expectation for every person I meet?

I feel like Im always transitioning, even mores now, so your interpretation of what the bridge meant makes sense.

I tend to be overwhelmed with thoughts of food when Im under stress or anxious. And I tend to be easily affected by the food I eat.

I tend to be overcritical of myself, because I often think that others are judging me. I feel that maybe if I do it myself, I won;t feel as bad if others judge me. Of course this is not true, but thats how my mind used to work.

Thank you Kaz for taking the time out to interpret this. It;s truly appreciated.

Dear Clara,

You are a good and honest person, and a I would say a good judge of character. I do not think you would compromise your own moral boundaries to please others. Many do, so do not underestimate the strength of your own character.

You have said yourself, that sometimes you feel you may have unfairly judged someone, without getting to know them properly. If you are aware of this tendency within yourself, then try to be a little more flexible. Still being cautious, but not shutting the door, if you get me!

I do think you are incredibly hard on yourself. You judge yourself a lot and from what you have said yourself, you often assume you know what others think about you. But if you hold yourself back and don't allow others to get to know the warm hearted friendly person that you are, how can they ever get to know you properly?

Fear of being judged, fear of being found lacking in some way, fear of not being good enough, fear of being hurt. All these are the bricks and mortar we use to build a wall around us. To keep other people out. We don't want them to get close, because if they don't get close they can't hurt us.

Not everyone wants to hurt us Clara. There are lots of people out there who are just like us. Vulnerable, lacking in confidence, wanting approval and most of all wanting to be loved. Walls are all very well, but they don't just keep the bad things out, they keep all the good things out too.

Just something for you to think about.

Love and light
Kaz
