Topic: help with dream interpretation

I had a dream last night where I found myself outside of a concert with a lot of people I know.  The concert really wasnt the highlight of the dream, it was rather the moon.  I looked up at the sky in front of me and the moon was huge, an eclipse over the sun.  This was interesting all in its own, but what was most intriguing about this was, as the moon was up in the sky I was able to reach out my hand and grab at the moon. When I would look in my hand Id have dirt/dust/pieces of the moon.  I went and told a friend about this and had them try it as well they were able to do the same.

Since im a horrible dream interpreter I looked the moon up at dreammoods.com and got a general idea of what an eclipsed moon may signify, but what I really cant figure out is, what does the grabbing at the moon signify?  Being able to retrieve the dirt off the moon without actually touching it?

Any help would be great

Cool dream. I've had dreams that are focused around the moon as well, and one particularly interesting lucid dreams where I gazed upon the moon. I think it has a regenerative effect, allowing you to increase your perception and intuition once you are "in-tune" with the cycles of reality and the rivers of creation. In this dream, when I was loosing my lucidity, I laid down upon the grass and just looked up at the moon. This gave me just enough focus and power that I was able to stand up and continue a purification ceremony in my dream (it sounds crazy, but I actually did it. For me, the moon is a symbol of change, of intuition, and of impeccability. The moon is never the same each day you look upon it, but you can always count on it to be there, and to arrive in its fullness at reliable times. A ginormous moon wink may symbolize that you're at the peak/summit of a great change.
The fact that you're at a concert with a lot of people you know suggests to me at least that this change is occuring to many people, and the moon is beaming down on all of us to aid in our regeneration and impeccability in these times of change.

Re: help with dream interpretation

Rather than start a new thread I'd rather ask the question here:

What does it mean in the dream when there's a pitch black void for a sky? No stars, no moon, no light -- nothing. It's a black void.

Furthermore, this black void for a sky is the common element in all of my nightmares where sh*t jumps out of nowhere unexpectedly and terrifies me so much that I cannot move, cannot breathe, cannot do anything in the dream; absolute paralyzation save my ability to scream. There's also a dark / negative vibe usually in these dreams.

I can't figure out Auscastian's, if it felt right it was probably a good omen is all I can come up with.

Skyalmian.  Your dream gave me a thought that felt like it might have bearing.  I'm just feeling my way on this, so don't put any weight to it.  What your experiencing might be that which is your other aspect, I think we all have a darkness within us.  It might be an opportunity to embrace who you are.  Within a gorilla society, if a stranger approaches the group, the dominant male will charge at it, but this outsider gorilla will not back away, it will stand its ground, but will not make any eye contact and remain in a subordinate position, awaiting acceptance or to be run off.  You could see what this is, and just say to yourself, OK, and then see all of what you are also, that which is the light within you and the dark.  Remember that you operate in between, the middle, sometimes straying from the middle in either direction.  Some refer to this middle area as the Christ Principle. 

If I'm on track with this, for you this would be a sort of evolution, a tremendous spurt in growth of your total being.  Try not to act on a fear based motivation, you may have to be fierce and this does not mean aggression or anger, but rather a will that is unwavoring.  This unwavoring will would simply be utilized for maintaining an impersonal stance of observation and remembering you are of the day not the night, the light not darkness.  But, I've seen it written that out of darkness comes light.  Out of chaos comes balance and order.  The light is not your goal and neither is darkness which is often concerned with destructive aims.  I'm not sure why I make note to not head strictly toward light, perhaps it is due to the theme of this message being that the middle is the goal.

I'm surprised...I gave so little in that post and yet what you say is something I've been contemplating on since these dreams began sometime prior to 2004. I'll go into some detail then on these, to be sure: Back then they were scattered, occurring only once every 6 to 9 months, but have amped up considerably in the last 1.5 years (ever since I've developed an large focus on The Shadow, courtesy of Stuart Wilde's writings), and most especially in the last 6 months. In April / May I got really angry at the dreams and started fighting back in whatever way I could (using advice even on this forum), but that just made them worsen and the thing in the dream (it's always different) was rarely affected (only drove it off a few times). My thought has been that it's internal, that it's my Shadow (vague intuition says so). The thing (be it a cat that's only visible by a blatantly obvious aura, a wallmaster enemy from Legend of Zelda, etc.) radiates a truly powerful feeling of ice-cold fear that slows me down, and it's when it grabs me that I'm stopped dead. The dream has no choice but to end then...

I wish I wasn't and I'm trying to fix it, but I've been plagued by fears and phobias for some 10 years now. I'm sick of them and of negative thoughts, and I've been fighting them nonstop the whole time. hmm I admit that for the last few years I've turned away from everything negative and have been striving toward a Light state of existence as much as possible, thus "polarizing" myself I guess. I admit I don't want to have a dark side anymore...

Thus far I think I've managed to not act on fear-based motivations (if by motivation you mean doing something due to a fear rather than doing nothing in response to a fear).

...I'll see if I can stop, then (heading strictly toward light)...

Re: help with dream interpretation

Fear is the most extreme distance from love.  What is associated with fear are anger, rage, vengence, aggression, hostility... you get the picture I think.  I've read that we are in the Fifth Root-Race of man, of Globe D of this Forth Round.  The next Root-Race always begin to appear near the middle of the existing Root-Race.  I think we are near the end of the Fifth and there are now great numbers of the Sixth Root-Race here.  You will experience the worst and the best from the Fifth. 

In my life, I've thought, spoke, and acted many times in a manner that upon reflection make me sqirm.  Shame is only useful before the deed, in that it can make you reconsider before executing some train of thought, words or actions.  But after the fact, it has no real useful place.  If there are memories of things you regret, simply use them constructively by deciding not to perpetuate these things.  Thats it.  Now, if you follow Montalk and many others who think along the same lines, you might consider that something outside of you is trying to make you feel that you are only darkness, validated by your past actions.  Make it clear that you know what you are, and that you are capable of dealing with light and dark. 

Things ebb and surge.  It can be said of spirituality that there are times when it will ebb, and may even have a pause before resurgence.  If a person thinks he can make a communion occur between their Ego and their inner God, than go for it.  I just do not see that happening for a bit with me, and for that matter with many others.  So, what is very important, is what the individual see's how existence in matter on Earth should be.  How we envision our world, what we would want for ourselves and for all life on this Earth is extremely important right now.  Forces will be working to make you discouraged and disgusted with humanity.  But this is the form we use to experience.  One school of Magic says do what thou wilt, another says suffering is caused by desire and ignorance, a third just observes everything with mathematics and physics.

And then there are the stinkin democrats! big_smile
