dream weaver

When I was a little girl my mother and I could interpret my dreams. Early morning I would wake up and jump into her bed, nestling under the covers. No matter the hour of morning, she would promptly retrieve the worn green hard-cover dream dictionary that she stored away in her nightstand. Sitting there anxiously I would divulge what I envisioned as she peeled through the yellowed and brittle pages, looking up the symbols and reading aloud their meaning. As a child I was so intrigued to hear what my dreams meant... as Masters in Psychology it was a far more than a bonding method for my mother, she could actually discover what was running through her little girl's mind.
Lately I have been waking up recalling more and more dreams. It's been more than 15 years since the times when I could jump into bed and ponder over the dream dictionary with my mother...So now I must settle for Googling Dream Meanings... Nonetheless it is still surprising and exciting to read what dreams mean and locate a common thread between the conscious and the subconscious.

The other day I had adream that I was at a pet store lovingly watching over a box housing small bunnies of all colors. As I was standing there I felt a nudge on my leg and I looked down to find a small and energetic puppy looking up at me. Oh yea- it was a great ream! :)
When I looked up those two elements I found this:
Rabbit: To see a rabbit in your dream, signifies luck, magical power, and success. You have a positive outlook on life. Alternatively, rabbits symbolize abundance, warmth, fertility and sexual activity. The dream can also be associated with Easter time and your own personal memories of Easter. To see a white rabbit in your dream, symbolizes faithfulness in love.
Puppy: To see a puppy in your dream, symbolizes your playfulness and carefree nature. It also represents a blossoming friendship or that your friendships will grow stronger.

Last night I had a dream was a little freakier. All I can remember is standing before a mirror and smiling back at my pearly whites. Then slowly, I began to bleed - I remember being alarmed but not scared... odd.
Teeth: To dream that you have rotten or decaying teeth, forewarns that your health and/or business is in jeopardy. You may have uttered some false or foul words and those words are coming back to haunt you.
To dream that your teeth is gleaming, signifies happiness and fulfilled wishes.

Blood:To see blood in your dream, represents life, love, and passion as well as disappointments.
To dream that you are bleeding or losing blood, signifies that you are suffering from exhaustion or that you are feeling emotionally drained. It may also denote bitter confrontations between you and your friends.
Mirror: To see your own reflection in the mirror, suggests that you are pondering thoughts about your inner self. The reflection in the mirror is how you perceive yourself or how you want others to see you. You may be contemplating on strengthening and changing aspects of your character.


Of course I don't take these dream meanings literally and whole-heartedly. However but I do find them interesting, especially when they link aspects of my thoughts and life as a common thread. Lately, I have really appreciating and celebrating the value of slowing down and not taking life, and myself, too seriously. I admire those who have perfected the "art of doing nothing"- savoring each moment and enjoying the beauty of imperfection and spontaneity...just letting everything fall as it may. The more I read about love, life, culture, happiness - the more enlightened I feel; realizing my own individuality, balance and happiness..
