FRIGHTENING SUDDEN STRONG WINDS

[cyberangel]

Hi Kaz, I would love you to interpret my dream when you get time.

Last night I dreamt I was cycling and was really enjoying the journey when all of a sudden a powerful violent wind got up and I could see that caravans were being torn apart and cars were being blown all over the road. The wind was coming from the left side and it was so strong it kept blowing me over to the other side of the road...I could manage to cycle through it but I was terrified as I could see the damage on my right as I continued to cycle to safety. I saw a friend of dad's caravan distroyed and I remember feeling such worry and concern for him but was unable to help. I just remember praying he would be ok. My brother was also in the dream on the left and I remember shouting to him to shelter somewhere quickly...my dad's voice came through in the dream warning me to be careful and to continue what I was doing (cycling) as I would be ok but he said be careful but hurry dont get distracted by the debris around me and get to shelter asap. I ended up sheltering with my brother's girlfriend in some derelict stone shed. I remember saying to her that I hope my brother and dad's friend were ok. The dream just seemed to end after that. This dream came out of the blue but I can sort of understand the meaning of the turmoil within it and the destruction as my brother has been unwell and he and his girlfriend have split for now. I dont understand seeing my dads friend in it though although I have been in touch recently as I told him on sunday that dads beloved dog blackie died suddenly on sunday. I was also out cycling with my son yesterday and the sky was very grey and stormy looking but we had such a good time. This dream has made me feel drained of energy and im so tired today like I really did pedal for my life in my sleep. I also feel like a sense of trouble brewing after it but again maybe it was what had already happened just replaying in my sleep. Anyway I would love an interpretation of it whenever you get a chance. Thank you.

Love and light xxx

I sometimes have apocalyptic dreams such as a flood that comes and never ends untill everything is under water and of course ruined. Another nightmare is looking out the window at night and then suddenly seeing daylight - the kind that could only be caused by the detonation of an atomic bomb. An angel might appear in the sky but morph into a demon boasting " I am inexorably evil ".

What I do NOT dream of is earthquakes even though I have experienced quite a lot of them in my life time. Apparently fear of the unknown trumps the real; I have lived through earthquakes easily and I am not afraid of them. I have never the less observed a gradual decline in civilization and civility that fills me with a dread a lot of things around me are not necessarily going to survive long after my demise. In that I dream of strife and struggle and discomfort but always as an observer. No real pain.

So I think the last thing we need to do and prepare for the grand finale that ends it all for us. Very telling is the admonition to " be carefull ". It might get very scary. But as you noticed storms are also interesting to watch - from a safe distance. I thought this dream was also kind of a fun thing to experience just as life even when it gets rough is a thrill. You would never want to experience these things if you had a choice but when it is over you are gratefull it turned out as well as it did and you had a chance to try and make it okay.

Dear Gruntal

Thank you my friend. Sometimes I think our waking hours can sometimes sneak into our dreaming hours (and vise versa!) and that was obviously what happened with this dream.

It has been a tough year so far with my dad's sudden death and everything since and I'm tired and in need of some spiritual direction as I feel a little lost and to some extent sorry for myself.

No doubt I'll work my way through 'this storm' but not quite sure how intact spiritually I'll be at the end...but for now im clinging on. This year for me seems to be a year of endings and as much as I hate to wish time away...I must admit I am looking forward to this year ending.

Anyway, sorry about the 'poor me' rant. What I wanted to say was THANK YOU Gruntal for taking some time out of your day for me. I am truly grateful.

Love and light
as always my friend

Dear Lorraine,

In dream symbology, a bicycle symbolises the need for balance in your life. It also indicates a need to balance your personal energies, before moving forward at full speed. You say a powerful violent wind came up and started blowing you and the caravans around. Strong violent winds, indicate big changes are ahead. Which will literally knock you off balance. The caravans are aspects of your personal energy. As anything that can be lived in, represents the dreamer's personal energy and aspects of their life. Caravans by definition are mobile. Which reflects your own ability to be flexible and also that you are the kind of person that likes to be challenged by new situations. The chaos the wind causes, shows that even your ability to adapt to new scenario's will be seriously challenged.

In your dream you say the wind was coming from your left side. The left side of the body represents the intellectual or rational. This might indicate that this aspect of your life is where you will be challenged the most. Which is interesting, as usually, it is our emotional state that tends to be where in-balance is felt the most. It might indicate that you have become rigid in your thinking about something or you have a blind spot which is where the trouble may be coming from. Only you know if this makes any sense to you. Just trying to offer some suggestions. I have a feeling you may know what I am talking about. The left side is also connected to 'receiving'. Someone or something is going to give you more then you bargained for. So be alert.

In our dreams, family members can symbolise meaning on different levels. On one hand, the father and brother figures are about older wiser guidance, nurturing energy; masculine traits, such as physical strength, practical and logical qualities. Ambition, force, drive. I'm feeling that these are the qualities that will stand you in good stead with whatever is in front of you. Your father is telling you, that you must keep going and that everything will be ok. This is the older wiser aspect of you, offering guidance. Do not be distracted by the debris. In other words. Keep looking ahead. Focus on maintaining your balance; stay focused and strong and you will come through this in one piece. Your worry over your brother in the dream, reflects your worry about him in waking life. You are always watching out for him. But even this can be a distraction. The theme of the dream I feel is about you.. for once.. focusing on yourself.

From reading your replies to George, and the comments you put at the end of your dream. You have a good idea about why this dream came about and its meaning. You have really answered your own questions. I always say, that we as the dreamers do understand what our dreams mean. Sometimes we just need a little help to sift through and make sense of the symbolism. For often in these dreams, even the most worrying. There is always help for us. I hope this has helped Lorraine. Sorry for the long wait in replying.

Love and light
Kaz
