5 of Cups- Perspective

Hello Everyone,

I haven't been blogging all my dreams like I had wanted to. Life gets busy and my dream journal seemed more accessible.  But this synchronicity seems worthy of sharing.

I have a deck of tarot cards which I use regularly and for the past month I have been missing a card. Don't really care which it is but I am really hoping I haven't lost it forever. I continued using my deck. Yesterday the 5 of cups appears on my nightstand, my deck is in my office so I immediately go and count my deck to make sure I didn't misplace another card. Sure enough the 5 of cups was the card missing from my deck. Hmm. I say to myself, what does the 5 of cups symbolize for me? Well, "Perspective"!  Have I been missing perspective???? I have had some difficult situations come up this past month, have I not seen all sides? Have I been like the cloaked figure and have only seen my side of things? Possibly. Then I read my "Science of Mind", which is a magazine I receive every month and in it are daily guides. Today's message... "Divine Perspective". Really? It goes on to say how we need to have a Divine Perspective, a higher view in order to see the bigger and broad picture. This higher perspective brings Freedom. I am also reminded that when looking deeper at my situations especially where others are involved, I can have compassion instead of judgment.

I love what this synchronicity is teaching me! Yes, I have lost sight of the bigger picture. I needed to be reminded of Divine Perspective and to have compassion for those involved including myself.

Thank you 5 of Cups and Science of Mind.

Love Glory

Going Potty Together

February 19, 2011

I set an intention as I went to bed, and asked this question. "How do I love myself enough to extend that love to others".

Dream

My family and i are going to visit friends, they live in a building with lots of floors and apartments, (like in NYC), we were driving and arrived 30 minutes earlier, we want to stay with them but they had told us that they lived in a very small apartment. We were fine with this. As we are sitting there waiting (we didnt want to show up too early) i am needing to go to the bathroom, i realized i cant hold it, so i decide to call my friend to see if i could come up, so i can use her restroom. She said ok, and my family stays in the car. As i walk to the front of her building, there are people outside hanging out, i remember being careful as i walked to avoid some cracks on the sidewalk. I enter the building, her husband opens the door, he was in the middle of exercising, and the apartment was huge, room after room, there were two ways i could enter the apartment, i chose one way, a large room used as storage, but i wasnt able to go through it because there was another door blocking the entrance, i could squeeze through but i decide no to, my friends husbands finally comes back and tells me to follow him, and to go “this way”, the right entrance to their home. He shows me where their bathroom is, and his little girl follows me and she needs to go also, we realized there are two toilets, so i removed her diaper and set her on the toilet and then i go in the other, as i sit there, i notice that the toilet is made out of plastic, and parts of it start breaking off, i quickly finished and got up, the little girl is also done, the dream ends while i am standing there wondering what to do about the half broken plastic toilet. End of Dream

Feeling in the dream: I seemed annoyed when i realized her apartment was huge, and i saw so many places where my family and i could sleep.
I wasn’t worried about the toilet breaking, i just thought to myself, why would anyone own a plastic toilet.

I welcome any insights or comments.

"Backing up, Mutant Panda Monsters and Torn Drum"

Sometime at the end of January 2011

Dream 1 of 3

"Backing up"

I was at H's house it seemed like she lived in a log cabin in the middle of the woods.  (H is an old female friend who I have recently reconected with and I have been a little sad that she seems beaten up by life and has become a negative person). I was at her house Skyping and speaking and connecting with my extended family, H was being negative again and so I decide to leave.  The ground is covered in snow and I am driving an SUV.  I look around and see my family is in the vehicle with me. I remember asking my husband if we should change vehicles when we get to the midpoint.  I thought maybe a smaller tractor/jeep-like vehicle would make it easier for us to get home in this snow. But then I thought, "That doesn't make sense because the jeep has no top, and we would be exposed and have no shelter from the harsh weather". We arrive at a bridge and it seems like this may be the mid-point. I see a pick-up truck which seems like an overall good vehicle for us to switch to, but I see that the tailgate is almost hanging off the edge of a cliff.  There is a tree between the bed and the cab of the truck. I try to climb around it so I can get in, start the truck and back it up so my family can get in, (This is when i realized that the front of the vehicle is actually the part that is hanging off the cliff, and backing it up will save the vehicle) but my family are already following my steps, the unsafe way.  I worry that they might fall. EOD


Dream 2 of 3

"Mutant Panda Monsters"

I was in my home and there were lots of people there.  It seemed pretty normal.  I was talking to my husband and he started making fun of what I was saying.  He wasn't taking me seriously. I yelled at him and went to my home office to cry.  The ceiling of my office was made of glass, and so I can see the beautiful sky above me. I suddenly saw mutated Panda bears walking on the glass ceiling, he was walking on his hind legs like a human, they were not cute and cuddly but instead had viscious teeth and they wanted to come in.  I felt horrified. 
All the humans in the house gathered together in order to come up with a plan.  A tall African man dressed in his native robe, appeared and we let him in, he shook each of our hands, and it seemed really important that he did this, like it was a protective field or something.  He then proceeded to explain what those things were out there. He said they didn't come around dogs, so if we took our dogs outside we would be safe to go outside. Also, there was a horn, like a tornado warning kind of alarm, that would sound, to let us know that it was safe to go outside. EOD

Dream 3 of 3

"Torn Drum"

I dreamt about my uncle W (who passed away in 2009).  He was teaching me how to play the drums. I saw myself banging on the drums, and noticed a small tear in the middle of the drum, I didn't say anything and just kept playing it.  EOD


Feeling upon waking.  With the first dream, I felt very responsible for my family's safety. I could feel the snow and the cold weather.  In the second dream, I felt frightened, it felt like a major shift and change in the way we will live our lives from now on.  In the third dream, I felt strange about the tear in the drum but was happy to see my uncle again.

The Spiritual Center on Main Street

Jan 20, 2011

I dreamt that I was in a car with my family and we were headed to a restaurant in a small town in Main Street (you know the ones where they have really cool old buildings and store fronts of unique shops and family owned restaurants, one gas station and one stop light.... ) anyway we saw the restaurant but my husband didn’t want to park in front of it, so he backed up to the street before and pulled into a parking spot (diagonal space, where the car points to the store front) I asked him why we couldn't just park in front and he said that it would be better to park here so when we left we could go through this one street instead of going the other way, I thought it was crazy and left it alone... I then pass by a store and realize that it is a mini spiritual center, my Reverend B was there, and I was so excited to see her, she has a real connection with my kids so we went in to surprise her and say Hello, I walked in and realized that it was filled with books, cds, cassettes and various things to do with spirituality.... She was alone and she hugged us and then we sat down on the couch and talked, she mentioned that this was a place for people to rent things and buy things for their own spiritual enrichment and that they needed to be more central and local. She said that the ILC (Spiritual church) is still there, but they wanted to create something smaller and more readily available as well. I though it was a neat idea, I looked at some cds and thought to myself, "hmmm, I can rent these and then share them on a web seminar, so more people can have access to them and we can have a big discussion, maybe once a month, showcase a new author, coach or fascinating person." Then people started coming in, I realized people were being counseled and groups were getting together to talk and discuss various topics, some were just hanging out, and soon I felt crowded, my kids and I felt like we needed to leave, it was a bit too much... my baby threw up on some guy we didn’t know who was holding her, and so I cleaned her up and left, the outside air was refreshing...... then I woke up

Insights welcomed.

This was a Full Moon Dream, where a group of us set an intention before going to sleep. The intention was :  "How do I allow love to blend my masculine and female energies to heal myself/the world".

Dogs in my space, where's my power?

Dream
Jan 17, 2011

I was in my basement with my husband. We are standing in the room where the breaker box is, we want to shut the power to the playroom (this is my baby's room now).  There are tags indicating which switch goes to what room, I see one clearly marked "playroom" but instead of my husband switching that one off, he switches 4 of them at the same time, right underneath the switch marked playroom.  He asked me to go upstairs to check if the lights were off in the playroom, I knew it wouldn't have been, but i didn't argue and headed up the stairs.  As I go up, I see a German Shephard in my house, I am scared and I wonder how I am going to remove him. He wants to play and go further into the house, so i decided to sit on him slightly as to tame him and control him a bit.  After a while I am able to grab him by the collar and take him out.  I quickly shut the door, I then investigate and checked my other doors so he won't come in a different way.  I go to my front door, and the wind is opening and closing my glass door.  I see a big sheep dog and another dog on my porch trying to come in.  I grabbed the doorknob and closed the door shut quickly, it was difficult since it was so windy.  I turned around and there was a black Lab licking my hand, I recognize him but now I have to get him out through another door.  I go to the previous door, and the German Shephard is still there waiting to come in.  That's when my husband comes up to say, "Hey, what about the lights", I explain what happened and the I woke up. 
End of Dream

Synchronicity 1:  A few days after I had this dream, I was walking with my girls and we saw a black Lab coming towards us, had no collar or tags, a little scary but we soon found out he was friendly, my daughter remembered a neighbor getting a new dog, and so we took the dog to that neighbor and sure enough it was theres.
Synchronicity 2: Neighbors behind us never had a dog and all of a sudden they have a German Shephard in their backyard, I wonder if there daughter has been home for the holidays and it's hers.


Interpretation or Insights...
After i wrote these synchronicities, I realize the words "collar and tags"  which reminds me of the dream where the switches had tags (i think of identity) the dog in real life had no tags yet my daughter knew where it belonged.  Clearly the dogs in my dream didn't know where they belonged, i felt like they were trying to invade my space, like they were coming in without permission, clearly crossing a boundary.  But they just want to play???? Is someone trying to shut off the power to my playroom??? Am I not allowing myself to play???  What are the different types of dogs trying to tell me???  It is interesting that one is a German "Shephard" and the other a "sheep" dog, and I felt like i was herding the dogs away from the inside of my house. 4 dogs and 4 switches.  When someone else is in control of my "power" I no longer can control what comes into my space, my living space. 

Insights are welcomed.  Start with " If this were my dream..." and keep it in first person as if you are experiencing the dream for yourself.... refrain from saying "you"

example... If this were my dream i'd wonder why I didn't speak up when my husband asked me to go upstairs and I knew that he shut off the wrong lights, also for me dogs may mean a man's best friend, loyalty, playfulness.  So I'd wonder why are these loyal pets (which aren't mine) trying to come in?  I wonder if the dogs are the playful parts of me that want to be recognized and allowed back in?

Also pulled a tarot card, "The Lover's" here is an image.

Welcome

My name is Glory Nelson, and I have created this blog in order to record my dreams and synchronicities.  I live my life paying attention to the everyday whispers of the Universe.  I have found that when I document it all, I am able to see the intricate design of life, of my life.  I am writing this all down, in hopes that maybe I can teach this method to those who want to live their dreams and allow the flow of life to be present in their day to day lives.

I invite you to come along on this journey with me.

Comments are welcomed especially if you are a dreamer and would like to offer insights on any dream and/or synchronicities. 

*Disclaimer : I encourage you to use the "if this were my dream/synchronicity", phrase when leaving comments about dreams and/or synchronicities. This allows you to offer insights while respecting the dreamers dream.  We want to offer insights instead of telling the dreamer what their dream means, since there are so many layers, meanings and symbols to a dream. I believe only the dreamer has the authority to claim the meaning of their own dream/synchronicity.

Lets dream together, share, and have fun.
