Yikes, I am naked again!!!!!!

Last night I had a dream. It was disturbing in the sense that I was naked for some of it. I was at some sort of dance class, on a fair ground, and I was tremendously self conscious. However, people either did not notice or simply did not care that I was naked. There was a lady sitting at a table near the front of a grassy area where the dance class was to take place and some how I knew that she was a little crazy. She left the table and I immediately went over there because there was a dress, old, threadbare and torn down the back, on the back of the chair. None of this mattered, I just wanted to put it on. I felt immediate relief upon putting the dress on. I sat at the table for a minute. The lady who had been sitting there came back and she was very angry that I was sitting in her spot. I got up and hurried away, I was now in front of huge sound equipment, trying to find a Shania Twain song to play, so that people could dance. I turned to tell someone that I was having problems finding a song; I looked up and saw the lady from earlier on a roof top. She was wringing her hands and pacing, like she was trying to figure something out. I knew that she was contemplating jumping. Before I could say anything to anyone she ran and jumped off the roof, her arms open, like she was flying. I remember watching in horror, thinking oh my God, why did she do that? I ran around to the area where she had jumped and there was a swimming pool. I saw that she had landed in the pool but was at the bottom of it. Before I could get there, paramedics had arrived and were pulling her from the pool. One of the paramedics was carrying her; she was crumpled like a doll in his arms. The next thing I knew she was on a stretcher with her head wrapped in white bandage and they were working to revive her. I was amazed when she started to breathe. The next thing I knew I was in regular clothes and was either getting on a airplane or on my way to get on a airplane, though I really don't remember seeing the airplane.

I have been analyzing dreams for as long as I can remember. As a rule it comes pretty easily to me, especially if it is for someone other than me. For this one, I had to refer to my favorite dream analysis book called, “Mary Summer Rain on Dreams”. I probably have 10 dream books that I refer to; however, I seem to come back to this one the most. Once I had book in hand, I began to analyze this very odd dream. The first thing I do is list all the things that stand out in the dream for me:

Naked – open heart; nothing to hide, no agendas or ulterior motives.

Dance Class – (Dance – personal manner of expressing emotions –
(Class) subjects one requires better understanding of.

Lady – femininity and quiet reserve.

Crazy – (insanity) total loss of reality

Table –An element of support and convenience

Dress – (Clothing) indication in to one's personality, spirituality or physical condition.

Torn – Negative element pertaining to life.

Sound equipment – (Sound) reveals multiple messages – (Equipment) Tools or opportunities that one can utilize.

Song – Specific message.

Shania Twain – Not in book – a person in your dream usually stands for what ever the first thing you think of when you think of that person. For me my first thought is that she is beautiful, has a beautiful voice, but is unapproachable.

Fair grounds – “Fair ground” to work within; a good atmosphere that is conducive to success.

Roof top – (Roof) pertains to one's priorities; highest “capping” thoughts.

Wringing – An effort to get the most out of a life element.

Hands – Service done for others.

Pacing - Comes to underscore the futileness of such mental exertion. One needs more acceptance.

Jumping off – Impatience with one's path progression or advancement.

Pool – Quality and quantity of goodness; level of humanitarian interaction with the others.

Paramedic – A person who is capable of an immediate and knowledgeable response.

White bandage - (White)- purity and goodness- (bandage) - time for a wound to heal

Airplane – Highest ideals, attitudes and belief systems.

After listing what each part in the dream represents, it was time to figure out how it pertains to my life, or what I am being told. I truly believe our dreams are very informative. Some people say they never dream, others dream all the time. I dream from the moment I close my eyes until the moment I open them again. In the morning when I feel tired, I tell my husband that I had a busy night dreaming and am exhausted! He assumes I am kidding………..

I cheated and bounced the dream off both my husband and my son. Sometimes if I hear myself say it out loud it clicks. My husband, who at this moment is laid up with a hurt back, so he was definitely a captive audience. He listened intently and then had nothing, can't really blame him, I do this to him all the time. I then proceeded to relay the dream and the different elements in the dream to my son.

My son and I had a conversation just the other day about how we dummy ourselves down when it comes to our knowledge of metaphysical, the after life, energies, etc. One, because it keeps us from getting that deer in the headlights look. And two, because it keeps us from totally opening ourselves up for interrogation, and derogatory comments. We both know that it is not our intention to change, or persuade a person's beliefs or values. We truly believe that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs.

With that said, the meaning of the dream began to surface. Remembering, that everything and everybody in your dream pertains to yourself (unless it is a prophetic dream, which I have as well. Those dreams have a completely different feel to them), I could figure out that this dream spoke somewhat to the conversation my son, and I were having earlier in the week.

My dream's intent is to show me that I have nothing to hide; I have an open heart, with no agenda. However, I am self conscious about it, no one notices because I am the only one aware of it. I put on a worn, threadbare dress with a rip in it. This means that I put on a front that is well worn, and though it is torn, a negative aspect in my life; I am okay with it because, it is a comfortable relief. On account of this, I need to learn how to understand myself better, how to be my authentic self. I was chased away from the table, by the crazy lady, the part of me that is quiet and not real, and a convenient element of support. This dress represents convenience for me, an easy respite. I am searching for something that is perfect, yet unattainable, because, within me, I know that we all are already perfect. In the beginning of the dream, I knew I was in what seemed to be fair grounds. “Fair Grounds”, I am in a good place, a safe place, to be who, I know, I am. My highest thoughts are to make the most out of service to others. I am impatient; I feel that I am not progressing as fast as I should. I need to understand that it is futile to be thinking this way. I am where I am supposed to be, right now, in this space and time. I feel like I need to be perfect, that I need to know everything. In actuality, goodness and humanitarian interaction is something that I can and am able to do immediately. I know that there is more to the dream, I am sure the white bandage is important and as I ponder it, I am sure that it will come to me. I not only had this dream once, but twice in the same night, which is a clear indicator that the message is important.

All that, to discover that I need to be my authentic self, be who I am, not be self conscious, and not to lean on my old standbys. Ultimately, I need to stick with my highest ideals, attitudes and belief systems (I was heading for the airplane). It sounds like a whole lot of dream, for such a simple message. But, that is how it works.

The dream was long, interpreting it even longer and the message deep. I for one am exhausted! Can’t there just be a note left under my pillow? I promise I will read it!!!!

Love, Light and Angel Blessings
