Disturbing Dreams and Feelings

[tribunalofmercy]

I had a Really strange experience for me last night; I just do not dream of ghosts, and rarely do I have continuing dreams unless there is a Very good reason.



When I went to bed I first dreamed about many ghosts that I could not see (I do not see them in waking state). It was a realistic dream with my specific family members involved (though they do not see ghosts in normal life?) - some wanted to call on my niece or nephew or great-nephew because they could See them (ghosts) in the dream. There was a boy ghost who had biological parents who were also ghosts, but a set of adoptive parents who were still alive. Those two were sitting at a booth with their passed-on son and I could now See him, plus the biological parents. The adopted parents asked me to sit with the boy for a few minutes while they went somewhere, and the boy came to give me a hug....he felt so Real. His sweatshirt, his hair in my face during the hug (he must have been about 10 years old), etc.


I thought he had Become real. Then I woke up. I felt a strange presence of sorts and was initially concerned so I went into the living room to get out a movie. It stayed right behind me in there until I Addressed it directly and clearly, to warn it not to frighten me since my home was one of God...then I could not feel it. I am not used to strangers in my home, sigh.


I wondered if it needed to go into the light or something, but how could I help it since I do not see ghosts? But I did not feel it again. I went Back to bed about an hour later with a foreboding that the dream was not over.




Sure enough, I began dreaming again that it was now Today, and that I was in my home. There were noises and feelings so I addressed them and got a formation along one wall to show the presence was Real (this was all in the dream, however). He was a guy, older than the boy but still young - like, maybe 20-ish? Anyway, followed me around the apartment (which looked a bit different than mine, but close) affecting things, smoking in my bedroom, rearranging furniture and there Was a cat in the basement when we went there but I can't remember details.




Still in my dream, I wondered who the presence Was. We talked but I can't be sure now what all about...I eventually dreamed about waking up Again, going back to sleep and continuing the dream. At this point I contacted someone I know online who deals with this, another friend from the chat site and still Another friend (all in the dream) to ask advice. I had to travel somewhere to see everyone, there was a hospital involved but not sure how. I asked advice about the presence and the guy from other site explained why I was seeing a family member, but I said this was Not a family member, that it was a Stranger, someone I did not know.




Then I actually Did wake up for a bit. Tried to sleep a bit more...no sooner had I gone into a hypnagogic state than I had an Engraved Invitation thrust before me - one inviting me to Meet with this person, on or Before such-and-such a date, at a certain time....
weird!


This morning I still felt the presence in my apartment though it was not frightening; I was curious and asked Jesus and my guides to help me Know what to do: to address the presence and try to help it? Or send it away for good? They were Very clear, which is unusual: Do Not Communicate With it.


I have not experienced such interruptions/invasions in dreams before.
  Where did it come from?  Was the ghost in the dreams the same presence as in my apartment?  Etc

Dear Mary anne,

Dreams can be very multi faceted. When we sleep the conscious mind receeds and the unconscious mind takes over. Our dreams can be a mix of experiences and memories of the day, filtering down. Conversations we participate in, and those we hear. TV programmes, the radio, the books we read, all are taken in and filed away. Nuances, gestures and facial expression tell us things that we unconsciously are aware of, but don't register consciously. These things also are processed as we sleep. They become part of our dreamscape, especially if there is something there that can be helpful to us, have something to bring to our attention, or have something to teach us.

Dream symbolism has often been referred to as the 'language of the soul'. Because along with all the things I've mentioned above. When we dream, it becomes a vehicle for the higher mind or the spiritual connection to interact with us. That is why even people who are not normally mediumistic or sensitive to spirit can communicate with them on this level, when they are asleep. I tell you these things Mary anne, so that you understand how indepth dreams are and how they can have meaning on more than one level. Which is what I see when I read your dream.

The house, the home in dream symbolism is YOU, the dreamer. Each room within that house represent different aspects of you. You dream you see many ghosts in your house. Ghosts represent unknown parts of the self. Aspects of the self we do not understand. It's interesting also that you have lots of family members around you. family represent the need for support, acceptance and understanding. It can reflect sometimes a feeling of not being understood properly. Or a feeling of the real you not being seen. But needing to feel loved and supported regardless. Pure unconditional love. Which is something I feel we can all relate too.

On another level, this dream could signal a change in your psychic awareness or abilities. It may indicate that at least for now. You are developing the ability to see and interact with spirit. Which was why when you awoke from the first dream, you felt the presence of a spirit near you. Instinctively you seemed to recognize that the spirit needed help to move on into the light and acted in the right way. Discernment and trusting your gut feelings about the motives or the spiritual state of the spirit is something that mediums learn to cultivate as they grow in their practice. This might just be a 'phase' in your spiritual development, or it may become a permenant ability that will continue to grow. Time will tell. It is good to see that your guides were nearby to help you.

In the second dream, where the man appears smoking a ciggarette, for some reason makes me think of an astral traveller. Someone who is not dead, but who travels in the astral when he sleeps. Paying you a visit. Intuitively I feel as you did about him, and believe you did exactly the right thing, to send him on his way. This could be someone who you do not know and was just passing through. But it could also be someone you do know. At least energetically. If not physically. For someone who is as sensitive as you, I would recommend that you protect yourself daily. Reinforce that protection before you sleep at night. Affirming that only spirit of the highest vibration come near. I would also suggest that you use a visualization, where you envelop your home in the protective light also. Creating a barrier that protects the house as well as yourself. This will ensure you have no more late night astral visitors.

A very interesting dream Mary anne.. thank you for sharing it. This is only my interpretation of your dream. Please only take what resonates or makes sense to you, and leave the rest.

Love and light

Thank you for answering me, Kaz - you know I had hoped for that I have not had this experience since, but then I am Protecting better again at night. (I've gotten slack, lol) I suppose half of it was the newness of the experience Itself, lol, because there have been several guides and watchers visit my home and my dreams, but with Supervision, and I have not continued to feel a strange and uncomfortable presence once I have waked up. It was That which truly concerned me most, and I feel better now.

I had not considered the possibility of more than One visitor (the first 'ghost' of the young boy, and the second of the older male presence), and that makes sense.

Thank you again
