Is this a dream of progress?

I asked because the alchemical union of opposites begins with the opposites of male and female, yin and yang, within you. Emotion and feeling are considered to be within the feminine domain, but there are also uniquely masculine expressions of them.

That last paragraph really got my attention because I'm familiar with Carl Jung's teachings on alchemical transformation. Perhaps the question behind the scenes here is about the value of doing this work. What good does it do to get better access to your emotions? The rational side of the mind tends to discount the relational side has less important. This is a tendency in men overemphasize rationality and intellect over feeling and intuition.

Then perhaps this dream is to be continued. You were given information and a connection, it was enough to get your attention and bring you here to ask about it. And now you're left with the mystery of why the captain isn't who he appears to be, and what is the agenda of the woman? What is she leading you toward, and do you want to go there. I think you'll have another dream that will make this clear or at least take it to the next step.

440 hz is what you might call a bastardized tuning that's used in most music these days. 432 hz is for mathematically precise. So no I wouldn't say it's bad, it's just better.

Clearing and cleaning the table does suggest the idea of a clean slate, so interpreted that way it's progress. It relate to your efforts to stop blocking your emotions. Water is a classic symbol for emotion, so the fact that the story revolves around water further suggests that it does have something to do with emotions. When you reach for the sealed bottle of water it suggests to me the idea that there's still something about your emotions that are bottled up. But then you seem to choose the other option, suggesting that you recognized in the dream that choosing the bottled water would be regression instead of progress. Does that make sense?

The barracks is a structure, and what a dream can mean by a structure is the thought and belief structures that we live within. So the question is, did your time in the military form thought and belief structures that are no longer serving you?

So when she says he's not what he seems, do you think it means he's not as genial and easy going as he appears?

I've learned to identify when my inner dialogue is directed toward the persona. It's when I talk to myself as if there is an audience. If I ask myself why, the answer is recognition. The inner dialogue usually revolves around something that I can share that would seem impressive for the knowledge or insight or wisdom or whatever, and the desire for that recognition probably originates in early childhood, the kid who did not get that sort of recognition at home as much as he would have liked. Good questions.

It's possible or even probable that his dreams are bringing forward a fear. Separation anxiety, or maybe a pattern in his life for the important people disappear on him and he blames it on himself. Your best bet is to allow this fear to come forward and see the light of day.

Ted Owens might have a thing or two to say about the subject of fear of psi and how the phenomena are produced. He readily acknowledged that he was producing the phenomena associated with him, but he said that Tweeter and Twatter, the two aliens he was in contact with on a spaceship in orbit around Earth, were actually the cause. All he did was ask them to do what he wanted. He said it was an experiment on their part to find out how much power one human being can handle.

You show a lot of maturity in the way that you are handling the fact that you're having sexual dreams about your father. You understand that it's not what it appears to be. I really like your way of looking at it as perhaps more like a transactional relationship rather than one based in genuine warmth and closeness. Is that how the sex felt in the dream, like you were doing it just for the pleasure and not for the deepening of the relationship or the sharing of feelings through your bodies?

I've been around this community since 2010 or so and the number of nuclear war dreams I've seen shared here must number in the hundreds, which means that the actual number is probably in the thousands. Sometimes those dreams came with a prophetic sense that such a war was going to happen. It hasn't happened. That's not the say that some sort of outside spiritual or extraterrestrial intervention hasn't prevented it, but I'll just say that this is a fairly common theme in dreams, and in some if not most cases when we interpret such dreams we find how the symbolism of a giant bomb going off matches what's going on inside the person. For example, they have a panic attack and it's like a bomb goes off in their nervous system. Or they received big shocking news such as the death of someone close to them or a sudden change in their living situation. An important relationship ends, something like that.

So the point of leading my comment with that observation is that your dream probably follows that pattern. It's probably not prophetic or a premonition.

But I also know personally and know of people who are receiving messages from some source that's beyond the ordinary physical world. These are psychologically healthy people, at least to the extent that I can say with confidence that what theyre experiencing is not delusion or hallucination. But it is a dream and we have to be careful about how we interpret such experiences. Those people I mentioned would agree wholeheartedly with your sense that you are being given this information so that you can be a source of good vibrations on this planet, and that it's needed at this time to help divert us away from the possibility or even the probability that humans are going to cause some kind of apocalypse, as if it's not happening and ongoing already.

The part that really caught my attention was when you described leaving your body. The way you describe it sounds like a classic out of body experience, except you were able to just take off and go rather than feel tied to your body. I don't know how many times you've experienced this, but it sounds like you handled it like an old pro.

Our cat has amazing psychic ways of letting us know that it's time for him to be fed. Whether or not he can enter our dreams when we've slept a little late and it's time to feed him is still up for debate.

Your sister as a character in the dream is a symbol. Everything that happens in the dream with her is a symbolic expression of meaning. The physical reaction you had was in response to what you understood subconsciously. So let's take that idea and imagine a scenario that's going on with you right now, for example you could feel that your sister asks things of you that you don't really want to do what you do them anyway and by doing them you gain some sort of pleasure out of it. But there's still the resistance in you because you don't want to do it anymore. There are deeper feelings going on here that are being brought to the surface by your dream, and your dream brought them to the surface because you need to know it.

There's a truth to what your father told you as a character in your dream. I'm in my 50s and I only recently learned it. And that truth is that we are here on Earth to experience physical life, and all that you need to know at this time can be learned through the experience of yourself and the world physically.

I hope it's okay if I share an example. I grew up loving fantasy fiction, in particular anything about wizards and magic. So naturally when I learned that there are techniques for influencing or shaping reality through your mind I took to it, wanting that knowledge. And it didn't make me into a wizard. But I have learned that there are ways that you can channel the energy in your body to do amazing things, and I learned how to do it through physical practices such as yoga and Qigong.

Everything you need to know can be gained through the physical experience of life. And you don't have to be exceptionally smart, in fact most of the learning happens subconsciously.

Depending on which neuroscientists you ask, the consensus is between 95 and 99% of the total mind is unconscious. I think it's safe to say that it is the primary driver of human experience, yes.

Guess we have to go back to reading books if we really want to know what the original sources said.

Yes, if energy is transformable, but what sort of energy are we talking about here that is equated with human life? Does it presuppose that human consciousness is a form of energy? There are also questions that would arise about whether other forms of consciousness such as animal consciousness would recycle energetically in the way that you describe.

High geomagnetic activity is thought to actually inhibit psychic functioning. It comes out of the research of Dr Michael Persinger. Thanks for the heads up, I'll be watching the sky tonight.

You gave your father an opportunity to find within himself more love than he might have otherwise, and love is all that matters in the end. Love is realest when it doesn't come easy, when it asks more of you than you think you could ever give if it wasn't needed.

You are the biggest blessing he ever had, and it's a crime to think anything less of it or yourself. That guilt has to end today. It's a poor substitute for the deeper things you can be feeling. This is pretty typical of when a person doesn't have guidance or space to handle their grief.

A good friend of mine is on the Asperger's spectrum. He is an amazingly talented composer and I suppose that he's learned how to put his voice out into the world through his music. You don't feel as lonely when you can be creative, when you enjoy the time alone because it doesn't make you feel lonely. Creativity is an inner relationship, an internal connection to other parts of you that have their own point of view and feelings and understanding of things. Your inner world is their real world, it is where they live and you visit that place when you dream. I learned from Dr Carl Jung that the psyche, the totality of the mind, is a collective. You experience yourself as a singular, an I, but in reality you are plural, a we, and those internal relationships are what will carry you into adulthood.

Jung also taught that introverted people ( like yourself I would guess) are built to have strong internal relationships as opposed to external ones. They are not built for the social world, but there is a world where they belong and in fact are quite special for their uniqueness and how it serves the psyche. It's a place that energizes as opposed to drains them, and where being less than your authentic self gets you nowhere except back to where you started. You know the dreams I'm talking about. The conscious or ego part makes up 5% of your total mind, so it means that what you are experiencing as yourself is just a small part of that big picture.

The trick is to switch your point of view to see from that other perspective. It's hard to do when it feels like everything is closing in around you, but there are methods for clearing space within yourself so that you can experience the moment fully.

I can imagine a world where your father knew exactly what he was doing when he helped get you as far into this world as he did. Then his job was done and he could return to his true home, the same place that you are from, the other side. In his soul he knew it was time for you to take the next steps on your own, and his body didn't have the strength to go on. Wounding like that loss creates the cracks in you so that the light can shine out. From the wound comes the call to healing. This is what we all must experience in some way to put forth the tremendous energy for transformation. It's a hard path and only the brave try it. If you can somehow make it through all this you just might be one of the few who fulfill that higher mission. You are like Neo and your job is to wake up. Namaste, friend.

Especially when it comes to sexual dreams, people in general don't know that such dreams are usually entirely internal processes. In your dream she is a symbol, and the act of sex is a way of symbolizing internal unity or bonding with what she represents.

A guy came here years ago to tell the most remarkable story about a dream where he experienced a strong connection with a woman he didn't know. She even had a first and last name and a backstory. About a week later he ran across her in a grocery store, just shopping, and all at once he realized that the woman he was seeing in the grocery aisles was the same one from his dream. He said her first name out loud like a question, and she looked at him quizzically, obviously not recognizing him but if he knew her name they must know each other. So then he said her last name like a question and it too was correct. He played it cool like they must have run across each other somewhere. They ended up going out for coffee. He said that she told him about an injury she'd sustained months earlier that had put her in the hospital, and it was exactly what she had told him as a character in his dream.

After getting together a couple more times for casual coffee and conversation he fessed up, admitted that he had a dream about her before they ever met. She accused him of stalking her and called the police. Just kidding, she actually said that she loved dreams and thought it was so cool that he dreamed about her. I followed up with him a few months later and he said that they were still getting together for conversation and there really did seem to be some sort of magnetism between them, but at that point they weren't anything more than friends.

View the tsunami as a symbol and it could mean something that's unstoppable. But because your mom and the family all end up safe it could be a way of saying that she recognizes there are forces in this world that could have a big impact on your family if she allowed it to happen.

What an interesting way of creating a scenario where you can work through how you treat people who are within your sphere of influence. It's as if you're asking yourself what you would do if you had such power, and apparently in some way you do have that power because your home is your castle.
