Dear Dreamers,

You are the writer, producer, director and star of all your dreams. Only you can really interpret your dreams. The language of dreams is symbols, metaphors and emotions. As our minds are unconscious in dreams, your dream “creator” can only pull information stored in your brain (data base) and try to use this to give you a dream message.

In the dream below I try to give guidelines to what the dreams may mean. You must always ask yourself- what does the symbol, person, color, emotion etc. mean to me in my dreams?

Only you really know the answer and if what I say should resonate in a small or big way then you are on track to understanding what your symbols are meaning. The best way to learn how to understand your dream language is to keep a dream journal of each dream that does stand out for you and to keep digging to find meanings that resonate. My suggestions below are only my ideas and not meant to be replacing your own dream language or interpretations.

Dear Irene,

Was this a past life? Submitted by Marta

In my dream, I was one of many participants at a conference associated with my work. I stayed in the hotel and suddenly I saw myself in the hotel room with three beds ready for the night. There were two men wearing pajamas. One of them was not known to me, another one was the man, which I am very much drawn to when I see him at professional meetings.

A conference in a dream will often mean a meeting place that is safe, educational and work related. The hotel room is often a place of fantasy, as it is often thought of as an escape from our everyday lives and it can bring a romantic overture to being in a strange or exotic place.

As for beds, it can mean sexual fantasies, resting, nurturing, comfort, safety and desires. The number three always creates a triangle and the triangle can represent:

~ Our spiritual side: such as body, mind and spirit.

~ It can represent the family as mother, father and child.

~ It can represent being stuck in a situation that can involve a sexual encounter and another person. If your desire for this man is a married man the other man may be symbolic of: your conscience, your sexual desires, and even your guide.

The third bed was ready for me.

The power of choice is at play here and safety by each person having personal space if they so choose.

Suddenly the man of my desires asked me something but I was not sure what he asked. I asked him if he was asking to sleep with me and I heard him say yes. When I looked back at him, his appearance had completely changed! He had longer wavy silver hair, he was wearing a long black cape or gown, or some monk's dress and on his chest was a striking shiny silver print of a very special cross something like the French Lilly from Quebec. I pointed my finger at the symbol and asked him what it meant. We were sitting against each other on the bed and he clearly told me he would explain it. I was waiting for his the answer, but I woke up. I tried many times going back into this dream and asking for more information but I was not able to get anything. I am very curious, as to what he would have answered.

You were likely not meant to know the answer as that may have changed your professional relationship with him in your waking life and that might have been too much for you and your personal desire for him. The expression of “leave well enough alone” could have been done for your own peace of mind and personal decorum.

Did I return to a past live where he was my lover?

Indeed you may have been lovers in one or more lifetimes and this could be the biggest reason for your attraction to him now- your memories of other times! Your description of what he wears takes you back into the past of “romantic times” that novels are often written off. This dream can be your desire for a deep romantic relationship with him or someone and or glimpses of another time with him. You may be lacking romance and intimacy in your present life and your dreams are a way of bringing a strong and loving relationship to you. Fill your desires in your dreams and ask them to bring you your soul mate!

Sweet Dreams everyone!
