Spirit Dreaming; my experience and what it means for your experiences. (3 min read)

Dreams are something Rachael gets asked to interpret a lot! Here she shares the simplicity of how she analyses dreams and what they mean for our connection and inner wisdom

Just wanted to share a personal experience about how we work in our dreams.

Last night I dreamt I was at my parent’s house and the family was sat around talking with my Nan sat on the sofa. I very quickly said, ‘Nan, I’m dreaming so does that mean you have come to see me?’ She had, she’d come to see us all. (it was apt it was the old sofa and wall colour, being the last time she probably was aware of being there).

And as we were talking all of a sudden I became aware that sat where my Nan was, was now my Great Nan. So I sat on the arm of the sofa next to her. Looking around the room it was getting very crowded. A lady I didn’t know was sat to my left and a man on the armchair opposite me.

The lady said that the person coming into the room was my great, great grandmother. She certainly needed announcing as she didn’t look energetically like my Great Nan! She had evolved as a Spirit past her last physical incarnation. ‘Oh’, I said ‘she’s up on the Angelic Realms now’. ‘How do you know’ said the man opposite me?’ I laughed ‘She’s 8 foot tall, and is all white!’. ‘Oooh’ he said as we watched her walk to one of our family members and lay her hands on to heal them. ‘Why are you here?’ I asked the man ‘I need to learn about emotion within family’ he said ‘I never had it myself’. I placed me hand on his shoulder and we smiled at eachother. I walked towards my angel of a Great, Great Nan. I followed her through the room and she walked out the back to another room. It was a hall, a fair maybe, and she was showing me how to place crystals on people for healing.

I wanted to share this for many reasons; one it was amazing and so, so clear. How could I not want to share?

I also wanted to explain about how we all do ‘dream work’. Many of our dreams are messages from our subconscious, from our higher selves, which we need to interpret. So please, please listen to them.

This was slightly different, this was ‘lucid dreaming’. Something I have been always able to do, is to change and interact in my dreams. I was aware that I was dreaming. We are all capable of this.

Our dreams are our gateway to our subconscious; when we are asleep our conscious mind, that controlling, anxious, angry and sad part of ourselves, is totally in the back ground. It totally relinquishes control, to allow us to access that true part of ourselves; our subconscious, our Higher Self. And with that the Spirit world.

So this dream was in it’s essence a healing dream for my family. Emotionally healing as here was my Nan, and my Great Nan in places sat around and chatting. Giving comfort, advise and having a laugh. Letting us know that they are still around. How many of us dream about a family member, and sometimes can’t quite remember what happened?

To a certain extent it doesn’t matter if when we wake, and our dastardly conscious mind takes over and blocks that information. The info has gone in where it needs to. Into the subconscious.

As a hypnotherapist, I know that this is where the information actually needs to go in for it to have an effect. When Dad came to you, or Uncle Jim, you maybe disappointed that you couldn’t remember it all. But they gave you an amazing gift. They were giving you tools, remapping the way your brain works, to help you cope with the stress of this life. Try to notice when these dreams come; at stressful times normally. And how comforted and happy do you feel when you wake up? How much easier is the situation with money, or the kids, or the hubby to deal with now?

So what about the random fella in the dream? He told my why he was there. Was he passed? Was he alive? I don’t know. And I don’t need to. This soul has lessons to learn and my family were helping him do this. We carry on having our soul healed after we pass. Equally, we may need to learn these lessons while we are alive. So how many of us have really vivid dreams, in places we don’t know, and spent the whole time interacting with people we don’t know? A lot of us. Those random ones, where it doesn’t matter how much you interpret it, it was still totally random. In that time you were either helping someone else, or they were helping you. For lessons you needed to learn in this life. Ever wake up, restless sleep, turning over the whole night, know you dreamt loads, but can’t remember a thing? Yeah, this was one of those nights where you were doing dream work.

Now, me being me, my Great, Great Nan showed me a little bit of the future, and gave me some knowledge at the same time. Would it be nice to think that she works with me and the crystals? Course it would. I’ve been doing this a little while so they can push my dreams where they need to and I’m very happy to come along for the ride.

And she didn’t need to come back as the last version I would know her as. One, I didn’t know her and I’ve only seen the one photo that exists. She had already moved past her attachment to her physical body, and I feel a major factor in this is that there is noone left alive who knew her. Plus she knew she wouldn’t freak me out by appearing as an 8 ft Angel was probably another factor! And how lovely to think that she goes around, not just healing my family, but healing people generally!

So next time you have a dream, and you’re disappointed you didn’t remember all of Mum’s chat; don’t be.

And next time you doubt that it was them sat with you; have faith in yourself and in them. We are all One.

Love as always

Rachael
