Dream world changed!

Time Traveler · Dream world changed!

Maybe someone here can give me their take on this:

I've usually had pretty decent dreams. The dream world I have is one where I revisit places & people who exist only in my dream world. It's an entire globe unto itself.

Yes, there were occassionally frightening things that happened. And bad dreams. But for the most part, decent dreams, confusing sometimes, but sometimes wondrous. And mostly in a medieval setting, since that's a big part of my waking world as well.

But not since I moved. My dreams are horrifying. Populated by awful awful creatures & people who have characterists as bad as Hannibal Lectur. The settings are all very very modern. Sometimes even with space aliens in them (my most frightening things!) Sometimes with T. Rex running thru the hallways. And every space is compartmentalized - whether outdoors or indoors.

Dream Example 1: A very good friend was calling me from a laundromat screaming because a stranger was pulling her & attacking her. I was trying to get help to her. It was a very long dream & awful.
Real world: The next day or so, I found out she had breast cancer.

Dream Example 2: I was in a store or office building with many cubicles. I'd see someone & think they were someone I knew but each one would turn out to be a murderer, a strangler, a morphing entity etc. The dinosaurs ran thru the halls. Two of them together.

WTHeck is going on? My previous dream world is gone. I had it since I was a kid. Now, every single dream is totally awful and extremely violent. I am NOT a violent person. Heck, I feel guilty when I step on a bug. What do you think is going on?

I have changed nothing major in my life except having made the move. If anything, my social life is better since I'm off the farm. And I' taking better care of myself - what I eat & exercise. I go to concerts, the conservatory etc. What gives? Opinions, please. Maybe if I can understand it, I can stop it. - TT

Ok, first thots
New house, different energy and being who you and sensitive as you are, you're a perfect channel.

Now another first thot is prehnites at each portal, windows and doors...little ones are just fine there.
THEN you want a good sized one under your pillow and under your bed. Have you smudged the "entire house" ESPECIALLY the bedroom?

another thot, you may have to open and douse the bedroom's energy and move the bed! Honest it may well be the answer. Now translating I am not real good at so I'll let them that do come along.
another ?, how does Ursa sleep and where? I figure I may know but ask anyways.

OH one more thing that will help with good dreams is a bloodstone in a dish of water by the bedside. Amethyst under the pillow is also helpful. Let me think some more.

Maybe because you are new to the house, those that live there etherally are visiting you in your dreams.
And cos you don't know them or are unused to their energies, they appear frightening to you and your dream friends.
Is your bed facing the right way?
Is your bedroom tidy?
Does it feel comfortb;e and friendly?
Have you cleansed it thouroughly?
Want me to come and look for any baddies?

Sage/Debs

Oh yes! Mia is wonderful with that TT....a good thot.

I am not sure I can be much help...but your dreams have morphed into something I am used to...

...I have the house dreams where every room changes and all manner of weirdness can be expected and each room is like a compartment...... I almost had one of those last night but it wasn't quite a full blown house dream......

I do not know what to tell you... for me it seems to be how my sleeping mind deals with my daily stress and if I am not dealing with stress when awake it will get dealt with when asleep q21

and often the dreams themselves induce more stress....

Can you stop the process? Can you be aware of the dream while dreaming and turn it off? I can do this so if it gets really distressing I just change the channel....... like you know t rex only runs through halls in the movies so it isn't real so tell it to stop and put a new idea in its place..... I have a list of standard themes I replace dreams with...... and strangely I find that replacing horrifying with erotic works best for me...doesn't mean I switch to that type of dream it just seems to turn off horror......if it is just weird dreams I can just go to the meadow with the waterfall that I use for meditating and it changes the channel.......

I've had to learn to do this my dreamlife is too active and often too strange so as a kid I had to find a way to stop some of it so I could actually sleep.....

Oh Mia - Please do!

Answers: I had my bed facing the wrong way at first, but rearranged it in the right direction (head pointing north) and even changed which room was my bedroom because it wasn't do-able for right direction in original bedroom.

Bedroom is very neat & tidy. It's friendly, I believe. I'm quite comfortable in there, except this bedroom is about 10 x 9 with an "L" that's about 8x8. My bedroom at other house was 20x20! Big difference there.

I own no prehnites at all. I have taken the ametrine to bed with me but naught else. Don't know why.........they just don't feel at home here. In fact, I just unpacked all stones/crystals about 3 weeks ago.

Maybe that's it............this place just doesn't feel like it's conducive to my strange little world. I've been placing my medieval artwork in living rooms, so it feels a little better, but I'm still not totally used to it. Bedroom just has a beautiful landscape painting that used to hang in my barn hall and a 4x6 painting of a white long haired cat sleeping on a quilt on a rattan chair.

Ursa seems to be comfortable. She sleeps on the bed with me, as she has every day of her life.

I have a friend who is "special" and she will come and cleanse the house. She tried to do it from a distance away, but we figure another time, in person, can't hurt.

I have cedar in wooden bowls about the house.

Sometimes, as you might know, I feel a presence and have seen him once. He means no harm & I'm not afraid. He lived here for almost 90 years. He was born in this house when it was 3 years old. He died in the house & no one found him for 3-5 days. I hear different stories from the neighbors as to the length of time, but it's irrelevant anyway. I assure him I'm taking good care of his house.

Maybe it's because the bedroom, and the room that I previously used as a bedroom, are both painted purple? I've never had a purple room before & now I'm sleeping in one. I don't mind it, consciously, but trust me, when I painted the living room from Pepto Bismol pink to dark grey, I can't even express the difference it made in my mood & well-being. The pink was abusive to my psyche. Maybe the purple is too?

I tried to have lucid dreaming where I could change the channel & it works but only very very seldom. I’ve tried to tell myself before I fall asleep that these dreams will come, but they are only dreams. Nah, my dream world is too real for that sham. I’ll try a lucid dream again but I don’t know if I’m strong enough against these particular things yet.

I'll come shortly.
I need a place to ask for when I go.
I will say Timetraveller in ..... USA
(cos I know you as timetraveller)
pm me if you like.

And methinks that when the purple is gone, you'll sleep much better.
Love mia xx

I laid in bed a long time this a.m., thinking about all this. Perhaps this could be it:

Moving may have had a more profound effect on me than I thot. Yes, there's the usual trauma/drama of moving. But I've come from one culture into another. Not that it's bad or good, just different.

I spent 25 years+ with friends who were almost all horse-oriented, out in the country. We ate & slept horses. Almost all of my contacts with anybody concerned horses or things country. I had very few non-horsey friends.

Also, in my own little world, I could dabble as much as I wished into my "strangeness," and no one could enter my domain unless they were invited. Drop-in visitors, except to see horses, were very few.

Now, I've moved in-town (suburbs). Now, I've got friends who have such varied backgrounds and careers. They are computer engineers, nurses, event promoters, musicians, graphics people, wrestling referees, bank tellers, bikers, etc. You get the idea - a real mix of what people can be. They have a variety of interests, such as jogging, sewing, bicycling, music, hiking, camping, spinning wool, candle making etc.

I love the fact that I now have visitors all the time. I'm always running into someone I know if I go out. It's strange being surrouinded by others who don't have four legs and mane & tail. Socializing is nice on one hand, but on the other, it's invasive in it's own way. And I miss my horses so much........

I am aware of weird things the move has done to me, but I wasn't aware of the variety I am now exposed to daily. Constantly changing energies. Not that I don't love the variety -- it's just different from my previous world -- vastly different. As far as strangers go, some energy is good, some is not.

So different, that perhaps my "dream" mind feels the need to compartmentalize all of them. And their morphing or being evil? Maybe it's because I don't trust any of this inside of me. Maybe............

Perhaps it's because now I've joined the "human herd" whereas for decades, I was more than glad to be completely a part of the horse herd. My horses were my best friends. Now, it's humans. Those who know me would never have thot that possible. I guess I'm having trouble with it, but maybe my dream mind is trying to make sense of it all. Thoughts?

Of course, Ursa is the one energy that has remained unchanged and eternal. I don't know what I'd do without her. - tt

Sage/Debs

Wow, I think you've really hit on it and I can SO empathize. I lived just like that for 15 years. Now, I too am joining in the human world and am VERY unsure of myself as well. Embracing the human animal is dangerous and I too worry where as in the animal world things are balanced and in order...we could learn alot from them. I shall have to ponder this a bit more.

Time Traveler

And the horses' world is in plain sight. Always black or white. No guile. I always knew where I stood. It was never a spoken word, but actions were indeed louder than words. And they accepted me as I was.

Now, the humans all have different energies and different ways. The horses had different individual energies, but they were always the same inside.

This is tough to deal with, I find. But as I said, maybe it's affecting me more than I knew.... Sometimes, when I find out what my problem is, either physical or psychological, I can correct it. We'll see if this was it, but I'm still looking forward to Mia's actions.

Time Traveler

Just an update.

My dreams have stayed unsettled, but the violence has decreased somewhat. The other nite I dreamed I was just going around stabbing people. Anyone & everyone. But, know what? I didn't care in the dream. I didn't see it as anything but boring.

Maybe that will change things around. Boredom works sometimes. I know because when I had a horse that didn't want to do something, I'd make him do it again & again & again until it became nothing. Then we went on.

When I got my first horse, he wouldn't let me throw a leg over without walking away before I was ready. I mounted sometimes 20 times without stopping. Every day. He got real sick of it after about a week. He then waited for me to throw my leg over and waited for the command to walk-on. Always. Same thing with crossing water. etc etc.

Maybe it is working on me! q25

Excellent outlook TT!
