--DEATH DREAMS
(Image Compliments Pixabay)
With Halloween coming upon us, it is no wonder that thoughts now may turn to the Dance Macabre. This moment is no exception.
This past summer I had two very marked and disturbing dreams somewhere between the middle to end of August, knowing the Equiniox would soon be upon us. This was, though, no regular Autumn Equiniox dream of my yearly Autumn psyche.
I wanted to blog about these immediately; but, one problem was I was in the hospital for a bit so I didn't.
1. My Deceased Mother's Voice Warns Me About my Possible Impending Death
I am in the hypnogogic state in which I am falling aslep but am still somewhat awake. I hear my deceased mother's voice tell me I might die soon, tell me if I want to that I can go to her, join her in the afterlife. I get a vague and far off image of her holding me and hugging me to her breast and then embracing me with total motherly love. Suddenly it feels real and up close. It is so completely comforting, except for the fact that I do not yet want to die--I am not ready. I have a granddaughter whom I would like to watch grow up and I have an important bucket list to complete. At least it is important in my mind--I am not always sure how important it is to the Lords of Death and Rebirth that I finish it; after all, it's only an earthly thing in my short little life within the large long life of our universe. Upon my mother feeling my feelings that I am not ready to acquiesce to death yet, not leave my family that remains here behind me, she tells me well be careful and if I am that I could live, that she will make prayers and appeasement to God to let me get over this illness and live. I kept pushing onward like a good soldier, but within a couple weeks I could barely stand up. Had I not gone to the emergency room when I finally did, deciding to give it up and not play stoic anymore or to let go of my work for a while for a needed rest, I would have died in not much longer a time. My mother has always looked out for me and saved my life more than once, on earth just as it is now in heaven.
2. "Parents, Dance With Your Children" Dream, With Creepy Music
The next dream woke me up--it was a "waking dream" as they are called. I awoke hearing some creepy macabre music, and a voice like a DJ voice announced over the music that sounded like a creepy dirge from a tale from the crypt, "Parents, dance with your children."
In a state of a sort of stupor, I listened to the creepy-weird music for a couple moments in bewilderment, and it wasn't until I said something out loud on this solid earth plane to break out into the earth air that the music stopped. I called out, "Please turn off that creepy music." I thought it must have been a family member watching TV. My family member called back out to me, "I don't have any music on" and I thought it so odd that this sort of music with this message would be bourne in my dream. It carried a tone of doom. (I hope I was able to relay that to you since I used the word creepy three times!)
But, it turns out, there was a reason. I hear people say all the time that dreams are senseless, have no reason and no bearing on things here upon earth that we experience, but I do not subscribe to that at all. My dreams have more than not imported and imparted great knowledge to me insofar as my goings-on in my own psyche and of those around me, and of events to come as well. Whereas many people say dreams do not make much sense, my own dreams are often rather transparent As I have mentioned before but in my dream journal (which is not operative now, which is why this dream is recorded in here).
I didn't think about this at the time, but a family wedding was coming up (not on my side of the family). All kinds of unpleasant stir and ruckus among some family memebrs came out came out around the time of this impending marriage. Some people were upset that some people couldn't or wouldn't go, and some other big blowups occured also. There was coming gloom among family members at a time when there should have been happiness. Meanwhile, the bride and groom, looking quite beautiful and handsome and very much alive and vibrant (I did see pictures) had to suffer all this.
Yes, by all means, Parents, dance with your children--before it is too late.
