I get asked about recurring dreams all the time. I even used to struggle with them myself. But the funny thing about recurring dreams, or dreams in general, is that they are just metaphorical manifestations of our greatest fears and hopes.
One reader wrote to me recently that she often dreamt of a “frail, depressed girl” who was constantly out of reach. She kept trying to grab and help her, but the girl kept slipping away. And every time she woke up, she was frightened.
I asked her a few questions about her upbringing, and she had faced some neglect in her life. I asked her if she knew how to care for herself and give herself the attention she deserved, and she said not really. Then I asked her if the little girl in the dream could be her, and she didn’t know how to respond.
After she came to the realization that she so desperately wanted to save herself, but did’t know how, she started a healing process. You see, our dreams force our unconsciousness into light. It is in a cryptic, somewhat creepy manner, but it’s enough to grab our attention and make us curious.
The Moon illustrates fears and anxieties coming up from our subconscious. Sometimes we don’t know what is buried there, nor are we willing to uncover it. But let me tell you, if it wants to be heard, it will be.
In this instance you must embody the Fool. You must embark on this journey to find the pain that is plaguing you. And if it is so unconscious that you need help to discover what it is, I am always only an email away.
Get dreaming, and stay witchy ( *)
I have a recurring dream that I’m at my dad’s house and I can’t leave. My age and the reason I can’t leave always changes but the feeling of being trapped is constant. I would go to my dad’s on the weekends and I always did feel trapped there so I understand why I feel that way in my dream. I just don’t know why I keep dreaming it.
It seems like something must have triggered that recently. Are you interested in learning more?
I dreamed something then I dreamed it again and I changed the ending. Strange
Ooo like lucid dreaming??
Well I sometimes can see myself dreaming. Not sure if that is what you mean
It’s conscious dreaming. Like you know you’re actively dreaming so you can mold the story yourself.
Yes I can choose my dreams
Thats a tough skill to master!
Came naturally
It’s like a merging between conscious and unconscious so everything becomes conscious. The world is a big place
Oh dreaming! Something we all do, but seldom remember
