Dream of Angels

January 31st, 2010

Dear Dr Kathy,
What does it mean when I see an angel 10 ft tall wings expanded all the way to the left and to the right carrying a 2 story pink house fully intact that was falling down from heaven -nothing was wrong with this house but he was carrying it on his back -descending down to me.. I was on hill praying with an unbeliver and a pastor with his wife .. whom they couldn’t see except me -this angel came down to me -smiled and carried this house away back up and disappeared into heaven - and then he disappeared into heaven and then a gray cloud appeared right in front of us again -and from this gray an angel manifested out of this angel and became a full body angel.. what does this mean to you?

Dear Dreamer,

Sounds to me like you saw a real angel bringing you your hearts desire (answered prayers). Pink is a color of love, happiness, fulfillment, answered prayers. Are you a Pastor praying for a wife by any chance? I ask because I believe the unbeliever is you. My personal experience with gray cloud angels have been angels of darkness who seek to decieve, cause self doubt and destroy your faith. Whatever the delay is that you are waiting for, don’t give up the faith….Its on its way. Get closer to God (hill-top), Rebuke the devil and he will flee. Those that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength…don’t let negativity enter your mind regarding this prayer. Pray with a heart of Graditude, “Thank you Lord Jesus for answering my prayers….

Hope this helps

OLD WOMAN AND A COFFIN…HMMM

January 31st, 2010

Wellsphere member roslyn g. has sent you the following message:

Dear Dr Kathy,

My brother had a dream a while back about an old lady in a coffin. The coffin was at our grandmas house and he remembers calling her grandma but she didn’t look like any of our grandmas. My mom was saying “shes not ready yet” Her body looked old, deformed, and like a shriveled raisin. She was dressed in a poncho and wore an old fashioned hat with rims around it. He said she was dressed like an Indian. Her face was a silver color. They were taking her out of the coffin to finish preparing her and A thought came to his head about laying hands on the sick and they shall recover. He was going to prepare her by putting a towel around her head but the coffin opened up from the side like a door with hinges. he did not want to see the dead lady’s face close up so he shielded his face with the towel. he peeked his head out and saw her face tilted to the side where he was. when they finished and were putting her back in she started to moan and move. When he told me his dream i thought you would know and understand what it meant.
What do you think his dream means?

Dear Roslyn,

WITHOUT MORE DETAILS I AM UNCERTAIN OF ALL THE FACTS, BUT GOING BY THE SYMBOLOGY HERE, I WOULD HAVE TO SAY YOUR BROTHER HAS A GIFT HE IS HIDING FROM OR AVOIDING FOR FEAR OF REJECTION. Doesn’t want to face it because it goes against HIS OLD-FASHIONED OR OUTDATED BELIEF SYSTEM. HE HAS A GIFT OF HEALING, POSSIBLY SHAMAN (AMERICAN INDIAN OR OTHER) THAT MAY GO AGAINST HIS SPIRITUAL BELIEFS. HE DOES NOT CONFRONT IT (FACE IT) BUT PEEKS AT THE IDEA ONCE IN A WHILE. PUTTING A TOWEL AROUND THE HEAD IS LIKE A TURBAN. THESE ARE METAPHYSICAL STUDIES OR MIDDLE EASTERN RELIGIOUS PRACTICES. A FUNERAL OR A COFFIN SYMBOLIZES A DEATH OF SORTS. USUALLY A CHANGE IN CONSCIOUSNESS-AWARENESS OR DIRECTION. YOUR BROTHER MAY HAVE INHERITED THIS GIFT FROM A GRANDPARENT OR THE GRANDPARENT CAN SYMBOLIZE WISDOM OF OLD, OLD SOUL OR WISE FOR HIS AGE.

YOUR BROTHER MAY NOT UNDERSTAND HIS GIFT OR MAYBE HE IS “JUST NOT READY” TO FACE IT YET. HE SHOULD PURSUE HIS GIFT AS IT IS OF GOD- A SILVER FACE IS A REFLECTION OF GOD’S LIGHT. HIS MOTIVE IS TO HELP OTHERS, BRING THEM BACK TO LIFE. IF NOT PHYSICAL, MOST DEFINITELY SPIRITUALLY. IS HE A MINISTER OR DESIRE TO BE ONE?

I’D LOVE TO HEAR BACK FROM YOU ABOUT YOUR BROTHERS RESPONSE TO HIS DREAM INTERPRETATION.

Sincerely
DrKathy

An Explanation for having sex in the dream.

January 17th, 2010

Dear Dr Kathy
What is your explanation for having sex in the dream?.
Thanks for your time & energy.

Dear Reader

Another “not so easy explanation”…but I will do my best to highlight the varied meanings…Unlike other dream interpreters, I don’t believe Freud’s concepts of dream interpretation, believing that most dreams are sexual by nature…NOT TRUE unless you are sexually pre-occupied or have a sexual addiction disorder, then your dreams might indicate the literal act of sex which would include your fears about sex or your own sexual thoughts, desires, or wishful thinking.

There are a number of reasons for having sex dreams. The first and most common is for the dreamer to get intimate with their male / female side. In cases where, a person is too male (e.g. causing them to repress their feelings, too macho, too much ego etc.) or too female (causing them to lack confidence in themselves, maybe too sensitive, too much nurturing to the point of enabling others), the dream tries to heal this by representing the male or female side as something desirable, something to develop within yourself.

Sometimes the act of sex between the two opposite sexes indicates you have chosen to accept these qualities and are working at being either more emotional or less sensitive (for example).

If you find yourself having sex with a male/female you know of, then ask yourself “what character traits does this person have that I want to develop within myself?” I have had dreams of a man I admire which indicated the type of man I wanted to be with someday. I dreamt of having sex with Patrick Swayze (the actor) because I wanted to dance like him as well as find a partner to dance with (dirty dancing movie). This dream actually motivated me to take ballroom dancing for fun….and I love it. Bring on that Mambo…I’m ready for it, thanks to Patrick!

The dream wants both male and female sides of the self to share closeness in an uninhibited way. This sharing restores balance to the dreamer so they can draw on the strength inherent in the aspect of their nature they were repressing. Ideally, we all want to balance our male/female sides. Our God is as much female as he is male. His compassion and heart felt love is a female aspect…among other traits. Our God does not think nor acts like our human macho man. He represents the character traits we all want to develop within ourselves…to be more like Christ.

Many people are shocked to find themselves having sex in a dream with a person of the same sex.. A woman having sex with another woman in a dream is a healing device intended to put the dreamer in close contact with her heart / feelings. It’s learning to love and accept you as a woman. (Unless you are a man, then it’s learning to except your male characteristics and to love who you are.) This can often be misinterpreted by sexes to mean they are “gay” individuals, when that isn’t normally the case at all.

Sexual Dreams can also be stress reducers. If you have been inactive for a while, you may just need release, but don’t desire to sleep around with just anyone to get it. In this case the dream attempts to heal stress or whatever impact abstinence is having on the relationship or lack of a relationship.

Whenever a dreamer is able to be honest with themselves in private but puts on a false image in public by appearing tough, non-emotional, may find themselves have sex or being naked in public indicating the fear of being vulnerable in front of others. Again the purpose of the dream is to face the truth about you, face the fear. Do not be afraid of being honest with others in private or public. So you get a little vulnerable, it’s okay, allow yourself to experience it.

There are many other sexual dreams that could be discussed here, but for the sake of time and my fingers cramping….I will end here. Should you have a specific dream you’d like help with, do not hesitate to write me.

Sincerely
DrKathy




Question about consulting with “the Dead”

January 11th, 2010

Hello, my first time here & it was out of curiosity i visited this blog because am HUNGRY for information. I dream a lot that a xtain brother nick-named me ‘JOSEPH THE DREAMER when we were in the higher institution. My dreams started at an early childhood which some do come to pass, some not, some are attack & some are revelation concerning my spiritual life [anytime I do ask]. Regarding the response you gave ANNE, I am surprised because we have been taught that the living have no relationship with the dead & once a man dies, it is then judgement follows. please enlighten me. thanx

Dear Kareem,
The living in Christ (The righteous) such as Moses and Elijah, appeared to Jesus as a comfort to him before his soon to be death. See Luke 9:28-33 below:
28.About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray. 29.As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. 30.Two men, Moses and Elijah, 31.appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. 32.Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. 33.As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”

34.While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. 35A. voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.” 36.When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves, and told no one at that time what they had seen.

There is no simple explaination but I will do my best to help you understand. The word “dead or “death” are used symbolically as well as literally throughout scripture. A death can be a dying to the old carnal nature of sin to arrive at a christian state of living…but not an actual physical death. Those that choose not to follow the ways of God are considered “dead already.” Matthew 8:22 says, “But Jesus told him, “Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.” And, “Matthew 22:32, “‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’ [ Exodus 3:6] ? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”

This meaning, the living dead (Non-believers) are to bury the Physical dead. Those are the ones who are judged at time of death. The believer and follower of Christ just sleeps and the spirit is with God. Matthew 9:24, “he said, “Go away. The girl is not dead but asleep.” But they laughed at him.”

Now to answer your question: We, believers should not be seeking the unrighteous dead for answers about life. We can pray for the unrighteous and we may see them in our dreams as a reminder to do so. We may be visited by the unrighteous as a means to make an amends (from them or from you to them). But we do not seek counsel from such entities. As for those spirits that have crossed over from this earth plane to the living spirits in Christ (the righteous), we can also pray to them asking for guidence as oftentimes Catholics pray to Mary and other deceased saints for particular circumstances. In my reference above, Jesus sought comfort from Moses and Elijah. He (Jesus) was transfigured (in spirit body) as we are when asleep, visiting the other side.

In the same chapter of luke 9:34-36, the disciples heard a voice from Heaven, which was the voice of God telling them Jesus is his son and they should listen to him. So we have to ask, why didn’t Jesus go to his Father for comfort rather than Moses and Elijah? Hmmmm

I hope this has enlightened you somewhat and if you have further questions, don’t hesitate to ask. The fact you are hungry for the word is a wonderful thing. Keep seeking and keep asking until you find the answers you are looking for.

Blessings
DrKathy




Dream Messages for Others

November 28th, 2009

Hello Dr Kathy,

I read your article about dreaming for other people. I am still confused about an ongoing situation.

During most of my life I have had dreams that came true or has messages and warnings about anything from very simple meaningless things to more serious issues.

I had an on and off relationship over the last 2 years. My former bf mother`s whom I have never met because she passed away 3 weeks before we met came in my dream once after he just broke up with me to introduce herself, there was meaningless info in the dream about another living person that I had to verify just to confirm the authenticity of the dream.

Interestingly, our mother`s have the same first name which is a rare name and the last names are also quite similar. Since then, I have had recurring dreams of us being together, simply talking, in a relationship at time, dreams of what is doing, (which were later confirmed with him).

In the last week I have had 3 vivid dreams with messages strictly for him which I have relayed. The dreams are always positive, but it feels like this person is always in my dream in one capacity or another.

Why is this all happening?

Thanks
Anne
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hello Anne,

Thank you for sharing your dreams with us.

Because you acknowledge your dreams and willing to be a messenger to others, the deceased loved ones on the other side will use you to be their messenger as long as you choose to and are willing. If for some reason you don’t want to be a certain party’s messenger, all you have to do is pray to God and to them, asking them to stop the contact. I began my ministry very similar to this, so I understand your dilemma.

You are going about this wonderfully and validation is important whenever possible. Excellent job!

Whenever loved ones cross over, they don’t always have time for closure for the loved ones they leave behind. Therefore they oftentimes seek a source willing to help in this process. You have been chosen!

If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

Sincerely
DrKathy


Dream of “Digging for Money”

October 26th, 2009

Dear Dr. Kathy
I had this dream that me and my three friends was on the beach. We were going to go somewhere but we didn’t have no monies. So as I looked on the ground I saw a few coins, I picked those up. Then I saw more, at this time I’m digging and finding more and more coins. I have already gathered a full pouch of coins, then as I continue to digg. I saw a a white pouch buried, I picked it up and it was full of more coins. So I have now two pouches full of coins, I stopped digging and left the beach with the two coins in my hand. Can you tell me what you think this could mean,
Thank you
Tima
——————————————————————-

Dear Tima,
Your dream indicates you will never go without money for long. God will see to it you will always be provided for. Continue to seek him, dig into his word, and you will find his grace.

Blessings to you

Dream of planting flowers and Flying

October 26th, 2009

Dear Dr Kathy
I had a dream where I was in the back yard with my wife, her three baby girls, and her son while planting flowers about the backyard of our home. all the while, I was soaring unbelievably high. I would fly around with great control and speed. I would practically launch myself straight into the sky until I couldn’t see my house, then fly back down, land, and then walk over and help the girls plant flowers. I flew around the yard in circles playing with them, then shoot myself back into the heavens. Before I napped and had this dream, I prayed for financial increase and my own business doing what I am gifted and passionate of … music. What did this dream mean?

Kevin
_______________________________________________________________

Dear Kevin,

I can tell by your dream that you are very compassionate about your music and about your family.

Flowers are an expression of Love, compassion, caring thoughts, happiness and freedom. Flowers may also be time-tellers as many blossoms are closely associated with a particular season.You didn’t say if your flowers were seeds or in pots so the time factor would be according to bloom. If the flowers are are in bud, its like a promise of good things to come, eventual fruits of your labors. The type of flower you are planting also has specific character and meaning, so feel free to write me back if you know what flowers your planting. In any case, you are planting hope, affirmations, prayers and goals for the near future.

Flying and shooting for the sky are your high ideals and desires. Coming back down to earth is being realistic and facing today’s responsibilities, your family. They appear to support you in your dreams as you do theirs. You think in circles and doubt yourself at times about the decision to follow through on your plans. At this point, watering and nurturing those ideas (flowers) will determine the outcome. Flowers in bloom is what you seek…be patient and faithful and your dreams will come true.

Best Wishes…and thank you for sharing!

Sincerely
Dr Kathy

Dreams about Having Sex

October 19th, 2009

Sexual Dreams
Have you ever dreamed of having sex with someone you know, but aren’t the least bit attracted to? Or dreamed of romping in bed with a celebrity - or even a stranger? Have you ever dreamed of having sex with (gasp!) an animal? Such titillating dreams are perfectly normal. Sex can be a symbol of being intimately involved in a situation or a simple coming together of opposites. It could also symbolize the possibility of a new birth, coming from the union of two concepts, two opposing ideas, coming together. I have had dreams about having sex with my boss (male or female) usually indicating merging ideas or being in one accord about a project. Much depends on the feelings, actions, and background of the dream.

These dreams often symbolize your sexual attitudes or desires, or they can reflect your urge to merge with a characteristic of your dream lover - a quality that you want in yourself. I have dreamt of Patrick Swayze because I desired his talent to dance. So, I took some dance lessons to meet the desire and Waa’La….I can dance! I’ve dreamt of other celebrities because of characteristics I either already have but don’t recognize or the celebrity has characteristics I admire and desire To merge with them (develop them in myself). As you can see, sex dreams aren’t always about sex.

Your sex life
The most obvious reason for dreaming of sex is that you went to bed aroused, and the dream was a reflection of your, um, hormones. The dream might have provided an outlet for suppressed desire, or your unconscious mind might have wanted you to take notice of this part of your life - are you, by any chance, neglecting it? After all, the purpose of most dreams is to illuminate your inner world, so you can lead a more fulfilling life - in this case, a more fulfilling sex life.

However, as with all dreams, sexual dreams are seldom quite this obvious. If you awaken wondering why on earth you dreamed of being in bed with your boss, for instance, then the dream probably isn’t about desire, but about something else going on inside you as I stated above. A person living alone or single and among the same sex type may need to balance their life and have a very real need to converse, touch, and interact with someone of the opposite sex.

We need to remember that there is a strong connection between creativity, spirituality and sex. All of these stem from the same center of the brain. The difference lies in the direction of our will. Often a strong sex drive is an inner urge to connect with God, to become more spiritual or a need to develop your spirituality to fill the void. If you find your sex life isn’t filling your void, nor is your creativity filling the void, you can be sure it’s a spiritual fix that you need.

Individuals who block their sexual desires because they fear its wrong, its dirty, or you feel guilty. Maybe you just repress it for religious reasons? Maybe you have low self worth and don’t date much? In any case, you need an outlet or a release and dreams are great for doing that for us. This works in other areas of our life also, such as repressed emotions can be expressed within dreams to get some relief.

All about you
The thing to remember is that most dream symbols represent parts of you in some way. Take that naughty dream about your boss - it may represent a merging of the minds or maybe you are wanting to be your own boss? The same can be true of doing the wild thing with a wild animal in a dream. You’re embracing your instinctual side, which can be a source of creativity - or a symbol of undisciplined behavior you need to reign in. Celebrities fall into this category as well. If you dream of having sex with someone famous, ask yourself what you admire - or despise! - about this person. Chances are, that quality is being awakened in you.

Your Lover
On the other hand, dreams of sex with your significant other can reveal the health of your intimate connection. Take note of how you feel upon waking. Positive feelings point to a healthy sexual bond. Waking up feeling angry or frustrated is a warning sign that something’s amiss in your relationship. Hidden feelings can surface in dreams, so do some soul-searching to see if there’s an issue you need to talk over with your partner.

Gender bender
Dreams of merging with the opposite sex can also symbolize the merging of 0pposite “halves” of your psyche. If you’re a woman, you’re integrating the male (assertive, analytical, logical) part of your psyche. If you’re a man, you’re accessing the female (receptive, nurturing, passive) side of yourself. The more balanced you are, the more mental and emotional resources you’ll have at your disposal.

Strangers
What about doing the deed with someone you don’t know? Strangers usually represent the awakening of a trait or talent that you’re presently unaware of. Again, note any feelings you have about the dream. This will reveal whether the trait is something you want to develop - or a troubling issue you need to resolve.

There is still much more about sex dreams we could discuss but if you have any questions, feel free to write and share your sex dream with us.




Dream about Bugs,Spiders & A Scorpion

October 2nd, 2009

Dear Dr Kathy,

I dreamed that upon opening my eyes from sleeping in my bed, I saw a nest of ugly spider hatchlings hovering in a web-nest over the lower corner of my bed, and thought, “no wonder I’ve been getting bug bites.” When I sat up in bed, the spiders had morphed into huge adult Orange Garden Spiders (those kind are ugly and have always scared me), and them & their now huge & convoluted web system now encompassed over my bed. I ran around the side of my bed which was then the only way to avoid the web, and felt something brushing against my face. I pulled spider web strands off my face, looked back, and saw that the side of my bed had been taken over by a Banded Garden Spider (also an ugly kind) who had webbed up the side of my bed in no time. When I got out of my bedroom into the kitchen, there was a tan shiny scorpion running around. I didn’t believe it at first, because they are not natural in my home state, and I friend I told didn’t believe me at first either, but I looked again and confirmed that it was indeed a scorpion. I tried to explain what I saw to the friend, imitating its pincers with my hands, which was slightly comical. I kept trying to pound it with my fist to kill it, but it would always hop into a dark crevice, so I kept missing it. And it wasn’t just an innocent creature minding it’s own business. It was lunging at me and at my dog. I never did kill it.

Kimberly
………………………………………………………………………………….

Hello Kimberly.

Thank you for Your answers to my questions. Your answers do not coincide with a typical symbolic dream so I can only assume its spiritual and/ or psychological.

Sleep walking is believed by researchers to only occur during Delta sleep, which is our deepest level of consciousness. Most believe that dreams do not occur at this level; however, what does occur is healing and restoration. At this level of sleep, it is believed that sleep walking is an expression of emotional conflicts which have been repressed during the day or as far back as childhood. At night when we sleep, by walking off the adrenalin or the emotional turmoil within, we are actually healing our mind by releasing the emotion/s.

Bugs/Spiders often represent small annoyances or larger ones depending on the size of the bug and how many. The little things we worry about oftentimes distract us from our real purpose and upset our serenity and our relationship with God. Your own thoughts, feelings or problems bugging you robs you of your own personal power by allowing these people, places or things to get under your skin. The dream is showing you how you spin a big web out of a small thing, allowing your emotions to control rather then taking some positive action to end or control the irritations that bug you the most. (I.e. You may have to become more assertive). Spinning such large webs (your mental activity)uses up a lot of energy without actually getting anywhere.

A Scorpion is symbolic of the “enemy” who seeks to kill, steal and destroy your joy. All he can ever do is whisper negativity in your head hoping to distract you from hearing the word of God. If you fear him and his ugly followers (garden spider), you remain powerless, but if you claim the word of God and cast down those thoughts, then you have the power to take back control. You can’t kill the enemy, but you can have power over him. (You may disbelieve my words but pray the prayers I send you – attached- and claim your Christian rights over the enemy and see for yourself the results).

Luke 10:19 NIV •
“I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you”

The Kitchen is symbolic for FOOD FOR THOUGHT. The enemy is playing with such thoughts in your head. Lots of mixing, digesting and/or (disposing) of thoughts that are negative and bringing you down.

The living Room is symbolic of area of daily mental activity, thoughts and attitudes, your basic belief system of yourself, who and what you are. By seeing this woman from work in your dream may be an unconscious wish to be someone else, which indicates a poor self image.

The mattress slipping tells me your Christian foundation or belief in your higher power is slipping and some adjustments need to be made.

***Prayer of protection over self and your home:***

“In the name of Jesus Christ, by the power of His cross and blood, I/we bind the spirits, powers and forces of the earth, the underground, the air, the water, the fire, the netherworld and the satanic forces of nature.

I/We rebuke any curses, hexes, or spells sent against me or my family or my pets. You shall have no power over us any longer. No weapon formed against us shall prosper and I send any curses, spells or negative energy directly to Jesus for Him to deal with as He will. Lord, I ask You to bless my enemies by sending Your Holy Spirit to lead them to repentance.

I/We bind all interplay, interaction and communication of evil spirits. I/We claim protection of the shed blood of Jesus Christ over us all and over my home. Thank you God for your living word, thank you this is your will to protect me from the snares of the enemy. Thank you, it is done in the name of Jesus Christ.

By the Blessed Power of God and The Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth I rebuke the enemies of darkness, infernal invaders, all wicked legions, assemblies and sects, All whom live here or shall enter upon this property I claim the Blood of the Lamb, the shed Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, I command that you leave this home at once! In the Name of Jesus Christ Our Saviour, Amen.

I hope this interpretation has helped you and if you have any more questions regarding this dream, I will be happy to answer to the best of my ability. Thank you for allowing me to serve.

Blessings and peace be with you,

DrKathy
