Dreams - Transition & Transformation

From a POF on January 19, 2025:

Maureen: I haven’t been having much dream recall in quite awhile so I was nicely surprised when I had my first two dreams in 2025. Please tell what you can about them in the allotted time. Also, if there is time at the end, a Cryptic Message would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Dream 1: January 4, 2025: Just a snippet. I was with or seemingly working with a guy who had some information or a story to tell. It was setting something straight that had somehow been recorded, badly, by someone else. I was sitting with him going over what he wanted to say… a little more officially this time. We were in a large old industrial like room. There were many chairs as if it was an auditorium. We were sitting interview style and he was giving all the answers in a way that would better preserve what needed to be said. What he needed to say. He had a very soft voice and as we were sitting there more and more people gathered as if to hear what he had to say. Some were even dressed up. To help with the hearing I got up and closed a few old doors to cut down on the noise interference from outside. We were seated close to a wall as when we had started it was just a practice run of sorts. He just wanted to get something on record. This seemed to be taking a long time. We started to do it to just correct some errors but now it seemed as if it was becoming a full-blown new interview. With so many people gathering, and with his voice so soft, I knew we’d have to move to the front of the room where everyone could see him/us and we would have their full attention and hearing. Up until now I had just been helping my friend out by prodding information so he could be clear and heard and set the record straight. Now it was becoming more like a full-on interview with an audience and I would need to ask full questions of which I didn’t have all the information. My friend did. What started out as just helping my friend to speak out, to clarify what he needed to say was becoming more formal and would be dependent on me, for the record, asking him questions with proper information like the full names of people, places, chemical substances, etc., which I didn’t know. I hadn’t needed to know. Oy Vey!!

Dream 2: January 18, 2025: I haven’t remembered any dreams in so long this came as almost a shock. I thought it was just me in real life, still in bed. I was waking up, slowly, groggily, and I noticed I was on the phone, and I had been on the phone for a while… with James (a healer I work with). I was confused and wanted to know the time. I looked over at the bedside clock with no luck. It was dim in the room and I was depending on the light emitting from the clock to work. It didn’t. I couldn’t see the time. I started pulling out all these old iPhones I had around (for some reason) from my old flip top to every other old phone I had ever had and none of them gave me the time. I was determined. I was confused about the time because I didn’t know why I was talking to James as I was. James was patient while I was sorting through all these phones and other devices like regular clocks. As I was speaking to James, I was speaking loud enough that some young people, some punks, overheard and were laughing parodying what I was saying about time back to me. They were laughing at me. They were loud enough that James could hear them as well. Now I could see that I was facing south (I face north in my bed) like I was in Lorie’s bed but it was also my parent’s room in our house on Walpole my childhood home. Then I could see there were these stairs going up and down with the down stairs leading to the garden outside and there was my nephew Simon when he was a boy and my nephew Chris’ son Christopher also when he was young like they were in the 1990’s. I had pictured tough guys in black leather like Marlon Brando from the 1950’s and here were the “assholes” making fun of me and they were related to me. I asked them what they were doing there. They said they were visiting, over for a party, with relatives that lived side by side in the garden level apartments so they had opened up the gates and they now had free pass, a flow through, between and all around the apartments. That’s how they ended up standing by the stairs in my bedroom. Now I was wondering if I should be getting up to join the family party that I hadn’t known about… in my own apartment. In real life we are on the second floor with no outside access to the gardens, by stairs or any other means, although we can see them from our bedroom windows. I’m friends with two of the people and familiar with the gardens below. Kathy in particular is a friend from the building who also goes to Tai Chi. Dawn is just a nice person I know from the building. All this time I’m on the phone talking to James trying to sort out what time it is, and to myself I’m wondering how I could be on the phone with James as I was just waking up. How could that even happen? What a whole lot of confusion to wake up to.

MEntity: The first dream appears to be an anxiety dream regarding your own role during transition and transformation. It appears that you may have assessed your communication and clarity, your shift from more casual to more formal or "serious," to refining your focus, to addressing blind spots and unpreparedness and overwhelm. This dream seems to speak to a part of you needing to be expressed and heard, a quiet but crucial part of you seeking validation and recognition, not in superficial ways, but in ways you can see that matter. A shift toward a more visible role. On the other hand, this dream may indicate a processing of anxiety for feeling pressured to be in such a visible and present role and that you may have discovered, while you appreciate those who take those roles, you prefer to be more supportive and observational.

Maureen: Does this "transition and transformation" refer to the times we are in or something more personal?

MEntity: 

The second dream appears to be more anxiety being processed, themed in confusion and disconnect, processing resentment toward younger generation, or at least processing intergenerational dynamics that are confusing, processing past and present representations of unresolved feelings, and the assessment of your boundaries as either needing more emotional and psychological permeability or openness, or if you wish to reinforce those boundaries. Overall, this dream appears to have been an examination of your feelings of inadequacy or feelings of judgement (from self or others), with some indicators for support in the mix, such as the healer, the sacred space of the garden that is blocked by complexities, and your self-questioning of purpose vs unresolved emotions.

In response to your question: overall. Transition and transformation are states you cycle through often in this life, with some going quite well and almost unnoticeable except in their benefits, and others are disorienting, frustrating, and full of resistance within and around you.

Maureen: Yes, the other night I was feeling extreme stress in my body as I have for quite awhile. In the moment I decided to accept the outcome of the election and in a split second all the tension left my body. I recognized it as resistance to "what was". It surprised me that I could change something that quickly. It's going to be an interesting year with Acceptance as the Goal which is my personal Goal, as well.

MEntity: 

If you look at the connections between the dreams, both highlight your search for clarity, whether by assisting someone else in telling their story, or by trying to orient yourself in relation to time and space (experiences). Your roles expanded in both dreams, from helper to central figure in one, and a struggle to locate yourself amidst familial and temporal confusion. Both dreams had challenges represented toward focus and clarity. Both dreams were about integrating the past and present. These dreams together seem to indicate you are navigating a transition from a more supportive and quiet role to one that is taking on more deliberate responsibility, clarity, and visibility, which means reconciling your past (family dynamics, old mistakes) with the present and future (potentially as a leading voice or more refined communicator). These dreams may reflect a desire within you to take on a greater task that is specific to lifting voices of authenticity.

MESSAGE: IT IS NOT OVER UNTIL IT IS OVER.
