Military/Marriage Dream

[tiffany86]

Hello Kaz,

I was hoping you would be so kind to interpret my dream for me. I just woke up and I don't want to forget it, so here i am, and it is still fresh in my mind.

In this dream I am married to a man in the military. For some reason he goes away and comes back home, sad because he is training for the end. He knows he is going somewhere to die basically. This whole dream was like based a LONG time ago. Because at one point in the dream we attend his fathers funeral. The funeral was very formal, military style, and they had a nice service, and we found what he had left my husband. It was these long ways folded pamphlets..dated like 1400 A.D or something and there were 2 or 3 of those, and something written of jesus in them..I remember being blown away reading the cover. Then, next he left us some coins, BIG, huge silver coins. These coins were bigger than than my hand. Well anyway we end up having a daughter, and one point I see her as a baby, then again around the age of 6 I want to say. At 6, we were on a lake in a small boat, just the 3 of us. He had like a trumpet or horn, and he was playing us music, it was cute. The lake was clear and beautiful, perfect time of day to see the reflection of the trees off of it, like a mirror of the sky and trees. Then my dream goes back in time to when she was a baby..it was winter, and she was running toward the water, I grabbed her, accidentally falling in myself. I could feel the ice cold water on my body, calling for my REAL life fiance. I needed him to come help me, I could feel that something latched onto my foot, I couldnt put my finger on it, the only thing I can relate it to was an aligator under the water. This thing latched onto my foot, very sharply but not penetrating my skin. I called for my real life fiance, he ran over, hearing the worry in my voice. He jumped into the water without hesitation and went under the water and pried open the jaws of this thing..It kept on fussing with my feet, and I woke up before I could get out of the water.

Anyway, thank you so much, I always appreciate you helping out with my dreams.

Hi Tiffany,

I apologise for taking so long over doing your dream. I have not been able to spend much time on the site as I’ve just moved house. Anyway, here it is….

In your dream you are married to a military man. Marriage symbolically represents the ‘marriage’ of two different concepts, yet co existent parts of the self. For example, the male and female, yin and yang, conscious and the unconscious or the impulsive and the considerate.

The military aspect of this can have different meanings, one can be a loss of some part of one’s identity through being part of a unit or something that is controlled by another. It also represents discipline and order. A marriage is about bringing harmony and balance to this, a blending together. It is connected to aspects of your psyche and only you know if any of this relates to anything that is happening in your life or around you at the moment.

In your dream your husband has to go away from you, he is sad because his training is for something that may signify the end of his life. In war situations there is always a risk of death. But death, in dreams rarely means that someone or something dies. It is usually about transition, the end of one phase of our lives and the beginning of another. Some people find that they have to let go of certain aspects of their life to be able to do this and that can be hard. Sometimes sadness is also felt. But it is important to remember as one door closes behind us, another opens in front. With all the many opportunities that life has to offer.

You dream that you attend your father in law’s funeral. Funerals are again symbolic of endings in a ritualistic way. In waking life, there may be an older male father figure (if not your own father) to whom you have always been dependent on for guidance. This may be saying, rely more on your own inner wisdom for guidance and rely less on the input of others. Especially if it has been in contra to what you have wanted to do in the past. Only you know if this is meaningful for you Tiffany.

The bequests left to your husband in the dream, can be a method of passing on some information. The written word being linked to Jesus, this might be saying that guidance left for you may be found in the writings of spiritual works, or in your spiritual development. Silver is symbolic of Knowledge, coins may represent success for you in a materialistic way.

To blow a trumpet or horn, denotes triumph over enemies. The archangel Raphael is seen blowing a trumpet. So it is a omen of triumph and success. This may imply that whatever life has in store for you, that you have it within you to overcome any obstacles successfully, just have faith in yourself and your abilities.

A body of water is connected to the unconscious and the emotions. This lake is very clear and calm and it reflects the sky and the tree’s. A very good indicator of your emotional and mental state of mind. The dream may point to you having to deal with and resolve certain things in your life, but you have a calm and strong inner core that will allow you to deal with these things affectively. The reflection of the sky is a sign of purity and spirituality. A mirror reflecting outward the inner you. A beautiful image..

The rest of the dream, the little girl, is your inner child, your innocence. You fall into the water trying to save your child. The water is cold and you are afraid. This can be linked to a childhood memory, or it maybe that you are being forced in some way to relinquish the light hearted childlike aspect of yourself. Those who truly love and care for us, should accept us for who we are. Your inner child is what brings out the fun and gregarious part of your personality. Yes we all grow up, but we do not have to sacrifice this part of ourselves, to prove we have become adults.

It is so important to hold on to our inner child, this is what keeps us connected to the magic and wonder of our inner and outer world. It is what pushes us onwards to keep questioning and keep thirsting for knowledge, just as we did as children. Never let anyone make you feel that you have to cut yourself off from this aspect of yourself..

You obviously have a very close connection to your fiance and he makes you feel safe. He came through for you when you needed him, as you knew he would. The dream is just reaffirming that. The focus on your feet, maybe telling you that you need to ’earth’ yourself more. If you have been working on your psychic awareness and connection to spirit, remember to ’ground’ and ’protect’ yourself..

I hope this has helped Tiffany, there was lot of symbology in this dream, and there can be many meanings as dreams are multi layered. This is only my interpretation, so please only take from this what resonates with you, and simply leave the rest..

Love and light
Kaz
