Vivid but short dream

[adiah]

I wanted to post this dream on here for an objective interpretation.

From what I can recall I was in a mansion or art gallery within some sort of Mansion. My mother was with me and my reason for being there was to look at paintings to pick a backdrop for photos of my daughter.

What stood out most was the paintings. There were 3 paintings. All beautiful, and vibrant. One of Autumn Leaves of yellow, gold, tan/brown strewn about on the ground and falling from a tree (though you couldn't really see the tree in the picture.) The second picture was of Red Roses in a field of wild foliage. The foliage was all white (no additional flowers). The third picture was of another display of red roses, without the foliage. More of a closeup of roses, you can say.

As I looked at the paintings, I remember choosing one of the Red Rose pictures. I should also say that there were two additional people there. One who accompanied my mother and I, who in my dream I got the impression of it being a family friend, but she looked like an old personal friend of mine who I lost touch with long ago. She was pregnant. The other person who was there to browse but not "with" us, was another woman of who I felt no connection to, but also pregnant.

I left the area by myself to seek out a large rolling cart in order to "purchase" and bring home the paintings. Upon seeking one I was walking thru many long hallways, and going thru many turns into different rooms of the mansion, No details about these rooms as my focus was just to find a cart for the paintings. I finally came across one and made my way back to find that I was a bit lost, that is when a person appeared to me (little blurry here but got the impression is was a young boy..mid-teens or so) dressed in all white, who smiled at me and handed me some form of a ticket or receipt, then pointed me in the right direction. There was no dialogue between us.

As I made my way back and was coming back up on the gallery of paintings, this is when I woke. (I'd have likely gone longer had my daughter not woken up at 4am )... I jotted these things down and went back to sleep but I do not recall any other dreams after that.

I don't recall dreams often, and even less than that do they stick with me throughout my day. But this one, is on my mind a lot this morning. So I was just curious to hear any thoughts or interpretations of it.

Much appreciated xoxo

Hello Lisa,

Welcome to The Dream Board..

What a interesting dream and full of great symbology.

The mansion in your dream, is symbolically your house. The house is you. Its size, the rooms within it, relate to your energy, your mind and aspects of you. A mansion represents tremendous potential within the 'self'.

There is that famous quote from the bible that says " In my fathers house, there are many mansions", meaning many talents, abilities and levels of consciousness, you have yet not even begun to explore. As you learn to know yourself, the infinite nature of your being, your true gifts. You will start to utilise your creative potential.

The part of the mansion you are visiting, exploring, is the Art Gallery. Anything connected to art, is to do with again, unconscious abilities. Creative expression. This can be through relationships, music, writing, painting or any art form. It can also be through the 'art of living', how you express yourself.

The dream is pointing you very strongly to developing more fully your creative self. In life, have you started exploring creative interests? Or experiencing a desire to educate yourself more, increase your knowledge and expand your intuitive awareness?

Your mother is also with you in the dream. In dream symbology, the characters within our dream, are aspects of ourselves. The mother figure is the caring, nurturing facet. Seeing the mother also can be seen as a desire a need within to reinforce familial connections.

The mother figure in this dream, can also be saying nurture these abilities within yourself and they will grow and flourish, just as a child does when it is given all the right conditions to fulfill its full potential.

The three paintings you are drawn to are all "beautiful and vibrant". This could be interpreted as your higher self, drawing your attention to your own inner beauty and vitality. The first is of Autumn leaves, the colours yellow, gold, brown.

Leaves on a tree represent lessons learned, accomplishments, rewards, the fruit of your activities. Many leaves symbolise great growth and accomplishment. Leaves on the ground are things that have been completed of which you need to let go. The fact that they are Autumn leaves, indicates, that this is a time to reflect on the lessons you have learned, a time for stillness. Then to let go and move forward to newer challenges.

The colour Yellow, represents peace, Gold, represents the Christ light and divine consciousness. Brown represents grounding. All these things have been assimilated by you in the lessons of life and growth that you have learned to date.

Red Roses: Red symbolises energy and the rose symbolises love, beauty and innocence. White symbolises truth and purity. These pictures are focusing your attention on those aspects of the self that will carry you forward. They are at the core of your being, your inner integrity and true self.

You say the two women who are accompanying you and your mother, are both pregnant. The women in the dream are also aspects of you, but they can also represent qualities that you admire. Especially the women that you recognise as being a friend of your mother's. Does she embody qualities that you like or admire?

If she does not, then look at what she means to you, how do you normally associate her in your mind. These are all little clues to help you work through any internal issues or conflicts of your own, if your perception of her is not a positive one.

Both women are pregnant. Pregnancy in dreams can have two fold messages. One is that something new is coming into being, maybe coming from two directions as there are two pregnant women in this dream.

Be aware of any new thoughts and ideas you have at this time, the dreams indicates that these have the potential to be extremely fruitful, successful. On another level, if you are wanting to become pregnant, this may be a message from your higher self that you have conceived.

The corridors that you walk through within your mansion are indicative of the choices you have in life, the many directions in which you can go. Sometimes the variety of choices in themselves can be confusing. I would say just keep trusting your gut instincts and be guided by your intuition. The young boy in the dream, is an aspect of you, your youthful growing masculine aspect.

We all have the characteristics and energies within us of both genders. A young boy also represents vulnerability. All endearing qualities, which help to retain that trusting inner core, the desire to explore and to welcome new experiences. He may on another level be a guide. This is your dream Lisa, so trust what feelings he evokes in you.

A beautiful dream Lisa, full of symbology that indicates a huge surge in creative and spiritual growth. Lots of untapped potential here a very exciting journey of self discovery appears to be before you.

This is only my interpretation of your dream Lisa, please only take from it that which resonates with you and simply leave the rest. If you have any questions, I would be happy to speak to you about it further. I would appreciate your feedback.

Love and light
Kaz

Wow, thank you so much for that interpretation. I got the same feeling from a lot of it , just not in the detail that you represented. But so much of it rings true for me. And I do know that for the entire day I was feeling much lighter, brighter.. just an all around wonderful feeling after that dream.

I very much felt that this dream was full of symbols, and had something to do with my current drive to delve into my spirituality more, I feel as though I'm being pulled somewhere but I'm fully not clear on it yet, so I'm just letting my intuition guide me.

I am currently trying to conceive as well So hearing what that means symbolically, or could mean, makes me very happy

I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to this post, the majority of what you stated really hit home for me, and makes complete sense! I guess my job now is to keep my mind and heart open to accept any new endeavors, lessons, and knowledge headed my way.
