2 2 Dreamwork 101 Home Study Program Dream Interpretation Section 2 In this part of the program, we will be identifying and interpreting Recurring, Healing, Epic and Prophetic dreams and how to watch for and understand their validations. And we are going to identify Dreams within Dreams that can be strung together to create a string of pearls of wisdom. We will continue to work with real life dreams from myself and my clients that are examples of the dreams described in the Seven Types of Dreams. Many of the dreams that I am going to be working with you on, are from my dream column in Cape Women Online Magazine. Names, personal information and private circumstances have been changed to respect the privacy of my clients. The dreams are broken down in a manner that is easy to duplicate. Follow these examples when writing your dreams in your dream journal. Recurring Dreams Recurrent dreams are the way your inner guidance tells you that you didn t get the message in the dream. It is actually a call to action. There is a need for you to understand and change something in your life. Change your action, change your life, forever.

3 3 Dreamwork 101 Home Study Program Recurring Dream Example From Kat... An example of a recurring dream is my recurring Guided Feather Dream from my book, Surviving Cancerland: Intuitive Aspect of Healing. In this recurring dream my guides kept telling me I had breast cancer and until I believe them, returned to my doctors and insisted on other tests the dreams were not going to stop. Recurring Dream Interpretation So my call to action was to return to my doctor. I was even given a feather by one of my guides to use as a sword to verbally fence with one of my doctors who was armed with tests. I believed in my guide, I believed in that dream, the recurrent dream. And when I did return to my doc and insisted, self-advocated for a new set of tests, the recurring dream stopped. I had answered the call to action, I had changed my life forever and I was selfadvocating through the dream so I am here to talk to you today. I am alive because I self-advocated. Kat s Pearls of Wisdom & Golden Messages In order to battle illness, you must get in touch with your inner selves and work together toward the goal of survival. You are never alone.

4 4 Dreamwork 101 Home Study Program Recurrent Dream Questions Have you ever had a recurrent dream? If yes, describe it and underline the parts that elicit the most emotion from you. Those are your important snippets. What do the underlined words or phrases mean to you now?

5 5 Dreamwork 101 Home Study Program When you think of those underlined phrases what does the dream mean to you now? Is there validation? What has happened in your waking life that makes this dream s message ring true? That is your Pearl of Wisdom. What is your call to action? How can you use that Pearl of Wisdom to do what the dream is telling you to do to stop the dream from happening again? What do you need to do now?

6 6 Dreamwork 101 Home Study Program Healing Dreams This next dream is another one of my own from my book Surviving Cancerland: Intuitive Aspects of Healing. We are going to identify and interpret healing dreams. Healing Dream Example I had been going through chemotherapy. My husband and I were in northern Florida. It started to snow so we took a trip to southern Florida where the sun was shining and the beaches were beautiful. I commented that it was interesting that it was snowing up north but sunny here in the south. Happily, I ride my bike to a café on stilts on the beach. I looked out a large picture window at a gathering of people. A developmentally disabled teenager with dark hair came up to me and said, Why did you do that? Why is your head like that? I realize for the first time that I am not wearing my wig and my head is bald. I am shocked that no one else seems to notice. I turn to the boy and demand, How can you ask me this? How can you make me feel like this? I am annoyed with the boy for making me feel self-conscious and challenging me when I was having such a good time. A man about 30 years old steps over from the group and puts his arm around the boy and says, Remember, we went through this, too. We decided, too, remember? Oh yeah, the boy answered as he s lead over to the window to look out at the ocean with all the other people.

7 7 Dreamwork 101 Home Study Program Healing Dream Interpretation Let s look at a wonderful healing dream that displayed integration of self. All of my inner selves are involved in my healing. It is interesting that I have a developmentally disabled teenager as one of my inner-selves. He may be my most basic self. I have underlined and highlighted important words and phrases. This dream is about psychological problem solving and inner unification. In it I become balanced, centered in self and one with God by finding balance on a bicycle. (Two is the number for balance). I am challenged by my lesser-developed but true self (the boy) only to find that all of my selves have agreed to go through the chemotherapy treatments, and they will be there for you every step of your journey. My dream is about obtaining needed health information and knowledge. Husband and wife together show mental and emotional natures united: balance. Snow is God protection in its purest form: the crystal. The sun is the source of all energy: God in another form. Husband and wife, sun and snow are aspects of opposites that create a complete balance. It goes from one God blessing to another. Riding your bike is centering yourself to achieve balance spiritually, mentally and physically. A café is a temporary gathering place for refreshments. Stilts symbolize elevated thought. Hair is also thought and you ve lost your old thoughts from chemo and have become defensive when challenged by the boy, Cont

8 8 Dreamwork 101 Home Study Program Healing Dream Interpretation Cont... who signifies emotions and thinking at its most basic or true source. The 30-year-old signifies the holy trinity and developed or mature thought, who protectively leads the boy over to the other people, completing and reinforcing re-integration of mind, body and soul. A picture window is the window to my soul which is gazing into the ocean of Gnosis or Universal Knowledge. These people in the dream are the inner people in my inner mind/home. Healing Dream Questions Have you ever had a dream in which the people in your dream knew you but you did not know them? Do any of the people in your dreams call you by your name?

9 9 Dreamwork 101 Home Study Program Have any of the strangers in your dreams introduced themselves to you? Prophetic Dreams Again, in order to effectively battle illness, you must get in touch with your inner selves and work together toward the goal of survival by using everything available to you. Prophetic Dream Example Dear Kat, I have been undergoing cancer treatment and had a very unusual dream the other night. I walk through a door into a comfortable, brightly decorated hospital waiting room and greet all the people in the room. I recognize some of them as people I ve met in previous dreams.

10 10 Dreamwork 101 Home Study Program Prophetic Dream Example Cont A female physician named Dr. Jules, whom I ve met before in other dreams, comes out of her office to my right. Dr. Jules looks around the room and says, We re all here. As if on cue, three crabs appear, scurry across the floor and head for the basement door. Catch them! I hear someone yell as they scurry past me. They scamper down three flights of stairs to the dark basement tunnels. If they separate and take off in different directions I will never find them. My dream has turned into a nightmare. Stop! I yell when they reach the bottom step and I m shocked when they obey. I scoop them into a deep clear plastic container filled with water that has materialized in my hand. The submerged crabs pull in their legs and claws and turn into three pearls. I put a lid on the container and wonder why there are three crabs. Three crabs? Three cancers? Three pearls? Sue

11 11 Dreamwork 101 Home Study Program Prophetic Dream Interpretation Nightmare Dear Interpretation Sue, This is a prophetic dream with important health information for the future. I have underlined and highlighted important words in your dream. A room is a growing state of consciousness and a hospital room in your inner home is a growing state of healing consciousness where you greet all the aspect of yourself including Dr. Jules, (Doctor within, heal thyself.) The room is filled with positive feelings of the female aspects of yourself. This is important because it is difficult for you to see yourself as positive and female when you lack hair and feel like shit. Comfortable furniture signifies a cozy transitional place. However, the waiting room aspect reinforces temporary. Three symbolizes great strength, spiritual and God forces flowing through the endocrine gland system. The crab is the universal sign for cancer and is the 3rd sign of the Zodiac, again reinforcing the number three. Claws are the power to hold onto and injure, an aspect of cancer. Clear water is purification and symbolizes the water of life and spiritual ideas. A container: does not allow something to move or spread. A top is dual or complete containment. The number 2 symbolizes the alpha and the omega or the beginning and the end. Underground passageways are the subconscious mind and the very foundation of one s being since all houses are built from the foundation up. As a duality the passageways can also Cont

12 12 Dreamwork 101 Home Study Program Prophetic Dream Interpretation Cont... be seen as the milk ducts in breasts. Cancer often spreads through these ducts. Running is usually done away from a problem, but in your case, you are running toward one to contain it. This dream again reinforces the message: To effectively battle illness we must get in touch with our inner selves and work together toward the goal of survival. The fact that the crabs responded to your command to stop so they could be contained and submerged in the clear water is obviously a good sign, as is the fact that you catch all three of them. It shows that you have the power to order the cancer to stop and it will obey. Once the cancer is completely submerged in the clear water it pulls in legs and claws rendering it sedate or in remission and no longer spreading ( spreading through your home is a play on words.) It becomes three pearls. Pearls represent perfection through irritation. Kat Sue s prophetic dream/ nightmare became a reality when she had a double mastectomy and found that she had 3 breast cancers that were all contained by treatment. The dream deals with medical information and uses the universal symbol for cancer, crabs, which transform into pearls, beauty and perfection through irritation. Her validation was a medical report.

13 13 Dreamwork 101 Home Study Program Sue s Pearls of Wisdom & Golden Messages Sue s pearl of wisdom and golden message is your Physician-within is working with you to ensure your survival. Prophetic Dream Questions Have you ever had a prophetic dream which came true years later? Have you ever had a prophetic dream in which: 1) A deceased loved one delivered the message? 2) Spirit Guide delivered a prophetic message? Did you have trouble recognizing your guides in your dream? What separated them from the rest of the dream?

14 14 Dreamwork 101 Home Study Program What was the validation to your prophetic dream? Epic Dreams Epic dreams are like a storybook that you pick up and continue while asleep. The only thing missing is the popcorn. They are a break from reality. Sometimes they will stop when you begin to have a prophetic, healing, or a recurring dream, and as soon as that other dream stops, your Epic dream will start again where it left off. Dear Kat, Epic Dream Example I often have dreams that I don t fully remember but when I awaken I feel relaxed despite having been stressed the night before. These dreams begin when I go to sleep and are still going when I wake up in the morning. Often they are full of color and may even have a fairy tale feel to them. In one such dream I was riding a horse through a field of large flowers and mushrooms that were psychedelic colors. I was small in the dream but really enjoyed the forest of mushrooms. What kind of dream is this and did I dream the same dream all night? Penny

15 15 Dreamwork 101 Home Study Program Epic Dream Interpretation Dear Penny That is an epic dream, much like a full length movie that moves from scene to scene. Your mind needed a break from reality. It almost feels like the only thing missing from your dream is popcorn. When you have visitations in your dream or Spirit Guides enter to give you information, it is often during an epic dream which may then freeze during the other dream (as if time stands still) and then start again after the prophetic, healing or guided dream ends. It is unlikely that you had the same epic dream all night long because we go through approximately 5 dream cycles during the night. Sometime during the night it shifted to another type of dream. Kat

16 16 Dreamwork 101 Home Study Program Epic Dream Questions Have you ever had a dream that seemed to begin when you fell asleep and was still going when you woke up refreshed? Do you ever have a recurring epic dream that happens because it is so relaxing? How could an epic dream be an asset to your life? Have you ever had a lucid epic dream in which you watched the dream shift into a different type of dream such as prophetic?

17 17 Dreamwork 101 Home Study Program BONUS EXERCISE: Dreams within Dreams Your dreams can be multiple definitions of a dream. A nightmare can be a blessing in disguise because of the life-saving information contained within it. While going through cancer treatment I had many dreams within dreams. It was not unusual to have a nightmare that was also lucid, recurring, healing and prophetic. Your main dream may be a nightmare that also has a prophetic message. You could have more than one pearl of wisdom. String those pearls together and wear them with pride. Go back and reread the dreams analyzed in the program. Seek the dreams within the dreams and list them below. For example, the Daydream we examined could also be a healing dream because the dreamer s aura is adjusting and vibrating at a higher frequency.
