The art print above is titled, “Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee around a Pomegranate.” It’s by Salvador Dali, it’s from 1944. The title is as bizarre as the print itself. Bee? Pomegranate?

But I can’t help myself, I still love it. That’s what great art is all about, after all - moving your senses and causing you to think. Mostly, I’m thinking about one thing - what kind of crazy dreams must the artist have to inspire work like this!

As a dreamologist, I’d love to get my mind around his dreams.

How about that, he looks as good coming as he does going?!?!

Last night I had a dream that left me shaking. I have NEVER experienced this in
my life. It wasn’t a nightmare because I seemed to be victorious, however…
The dream starts out I am walking to me ‘rent-a-car” (I don’t know why I have
one) click the un-lock button, put my 2 yr. old son in his car seat, and begin
to walk around the car. I notice that another group of people enter the
driver’s side, so I lift my son out through the window. Chills run up and
down my spine, as though I know these are unsafe people. I put my son in the
car that was actually mine, and drive to the hotel we are staying in. I tell
the front desk to watch for this man and his companions. No sooner do I walk of
the front office, do I see this man… I try and fend him off, but I am not
scared of him. It becomes a battle of wits and inner strength. He begins to
follow me. More happens I do not recall. Eventually we end up in a room; he
thinks he has me cornered. I’ve dialed 911, and (I know he is a child molester)
and hope this time they arrest him. He smirks and lets me out of the room. I
realize that cornering me was a diversion, and there is a half naked baby
walking into the other room with a man. I grab that child and bring him to my
baby- who is safe. I spent the rest of the night re-living this dream. In no
instance was a child or I hurt, i in fact I was always one-step ahead, but there
was such a residual feeling of fear and revolution. Nothing I did would make me
stop this dream. I woke up for an hour, fell back asleep and the dream
continued. I know my mind was working something out, but what? And why did I
have to see my son almost molested? This is the first dream I have not been
able to deduce the symbolism. PLEASE HELP ME! There was more to it then this,
obviously, but hopefully this is enough to get some sort of help.

Any dream that involves our children is one we’ll remember for a very long time! If I had not read that your son was 2, I would have thought that he’d recently entered pre-school, Kindergarten, or Elementary School. This type of dream is very common for mothers when their child hits one of these “growing” landmarks.

However, since he’s still a baby (not that 4, 5, 6, and 7 year olds aren’t for that matter!), this type of dream may actually not even have anything to do with him.

Unless he has recently started staying with a new sitter or you’ve recently had to spend more time away from him than usual, the dream could be more about “mommy” than “son.”

Many times we’ll dream about situations that sort of “mirror” our daily life. If we have recently overcome something and won a personal victory, our dreams may take us anywhere from an awards ceremony to an olympic’s platform! If we feel overwhelmed and overworked, we’ll often dream of being hounded by “bad people” or of trying to run away from something that’s after us.

In your dream, saving the babies from harm, may very well signal that you “feel” or “felt” a fight coming on in your daily life. These types of dreams often occur when we know that trouble’s brewing, so to speak.

An example: A dreamer once had a dream where he had to pull his co-workers to safety when the office caught fire. The fire was being caused by a nut job who was shooting fire balls out of his gun. The dreamer saved everyone, then returned to the building to fight the flame thrower. He won when he turned the tables on him and burned the burner. As it turned out, the dreamer, in his daily life was sitting on knowledge of something his sister was doing that was wrong. She was only 17 at the time and was doing something that their parents wouldn’t have been very happy with. What’s worse, it was potentially harmful to her, so he knew he had to either confront her with it and/or tell the parents. The overwhelming dread of having to “fight” against something unpleasant caused his dream.

The fire even had a significant symbolism. A fire starts out small, then grows and grows until it’s out of control. This symbolized his knowledge that what his sister was doing could grow into something far more dangerous, destructive, and deadly - just like a fire.

In your case, the threat of molestation would seem to symbolize that you’re aware of someone “taking advantage” of another person or “abusing someone” who they have an upper hand against (either by size, rank, or position). It’s troubling you probably more than you realize - which is why it manifested itself in such a troubling, unsettling dream.

The thing to remember when you have dreams of this nature is that dreams aren’t prophetic - and that, more times than not, the people we dream about aren’t even directly connected to the analysis. Sometimes they’re merely “stand ins” for emotional connections.

Hopefully that’ll be the last dream you ever have of that nature!

Have you ever noticed that holidays can play tricks with your dreams? Because of the emphasis on family, a lot of dreams will focus on family members. Especially family members who have passed away. It’s as though our mind wants to bring them back to us for a visit - and dreams give it a perfect opportunity.

I recently heard from a woman, Claire, who said she had been dreaming of her son often the past 4 weeks. Sadly her son passed away 3 years ago (at the unbelievably young age of 18). Normally, when I hear from people who are dreaming about loved ones they’ve lost, they all want to know one thing, “How can I make the dreams stop - they’re breaking my heart?!!!”

So, I was completely taken by surprise when the grieving mother asked, “Is there any way I can make the dreams come every night?” She said the dreams were “sweet little visits” - and that she always woke up with a smile because she was thinking about her beloved son.

We could, of course, debate all day about how frequently you should “invite” prayers of lost loved ones. However, after reading about 4 e-mails from her, I honestly believe the dreams are helping her to heal. The nature of the dreams revolve around “Adam” helping his mom in some capacity. In every dream, he is either helping her shop, cook, wash the car, or (0nce) clean the attic.

The symbolism is precious - I believe her conscience knows that if “Adam” could do one thing right now it would be to help his mother. So, he is.

I think these prayers offer a fresh way to look at dreaming of loved ones who are no longer living with us. Instead of thinking of them as heartbreaking because they make us think of what we’ve lost…we should think of them as heartlifting because they make us think of what we had.

It’s no secret, the holidays will bring frequent dreams of this nature. Don’t let them unsettle you - use them as a means of healing. Embrace every opportunity to think good thoughts of your loved ones.

Sweet dreams,
Joi

I hope you can help me - I’m beginning to even lose sleep. I started having nightmares about a week ago. My mom is not a very good driver. She doesn’t pay attention to anything around her, she lets the gas run way too low, and she has road rage. I rode to the store with her recently and couldn’t believe how much worse of a driver she has gotten.

Could you please help us?

Wow, I can really “hear” the worry and fear behind your words. I’m so sorry that you’re feeling so scared and worried. First of all, let me assure you that there is nothing mystical about your dreams. Dreams are generally a result of situations that are going on in our day to day lives. You recently rode with your mom (Who sounds like a very colorful individual! If she were in a movie, she’d be one of the more interesting characters, wouldn’t she???), and as a result of her driving , you’re worried about her safety. That makes you a great daughter!

That worry has been, obviously, weighing on your mind. When all of the other worries and thoughts of the day drift off after you’ve fallen asleep - this one remains. Your mind takes the opportunity to focus all of its attention on it, blowing it way out of proportion.

Now having said that, I do believe that your subconcious mind is trying to pursuade you to talk to your mom. From what you’ve said, I assume that’s easier said than done though. I have a little advice for you, though. As a mother and wife, myself, I can tell you that when a son/daughter/husband is genuinely worried about you, it’s a very warm and positive feeling. However, if a spouse or child comes across as angry or disappointed, or if they seem to be ridiculing the mother - then, yes, that would hurt. THEN I’m certain you would get the cold shoulder for a few days, and that wouldn’t be good since your mom seems to have perfected the maneuver!

I would go to your mother and tell her about your worries. Tell her that you’re worried about her and be specific. Don’t just say, “You’re a lousy driver, mom!” Tell her the things she does that are dangerous and ask her to please be more careful from now on. I honestly have no idea how to address the road rage problem. You might need to do a little research on that one.

I hope you’ll talk to her asap. But remember, your dreams don’t mean something WILL happen, they mean the situations are right for something to POSSIBLY happen. In an instance of role reversal, when I first started driving, my mom frequently dreamed of me being in car wrecks. (I never was though!) Her mind just dwelled on what could happen now that her only child was motorized!

Good luck - and please let me know how it goes!

Sweet dreams,
Joi

hello
lately ive been having dreams and day dreams about me and my best friend lying
on her bed and making out its i know om proberly reading to much into it but its
starting to drive me crazy not knowing what it means please help me does it mean
i want something to happen??
thanks

This is a common type of dream that usually symbolizes a longing for something and/or someone. It could or could not be for the friend, herself. The fact that the dream is also manifesting itself in daydreams seems to indicate that she is involved in some way, though.

You could be longing for a closer friendship with this person, or longing to tell her a secret. Also, she may have something you, yourself, wish you had - whether it’s her family, loved one(s), job, or even a personality or physical trait.

If it were a full-out desire for the friend - you would be more than aware of this yourself, of course, without a dream or day dream telling you…so don’t let the dream get you too rattled.

Think about people that you’ve been physically attracted to in the past - you knew it without dreaming about it, right? Now think about people you’ve had romantic-type dreams about - they don’t always involve people you’d even WANT to kiss.

I’ve been noticing a common theme in my dreams lately. It’s frustrating me because I know there’s a reason but I can’t figure it out.

Thank you so much for your help.

What a frustrating thing to be dealing with - I’m so sorry that you’re having such sad dreams. Let’s take a really good look at them and see if maybe we can find their meaning. A lot of times when you “get” the meaning of a dream or dreams and their symbolisms, they’ll fade off and go away. It’s sort of like they say, “Point made. My work here is done.” We definitely want yours to make a hasty retreat!

Initially, when I read the first paragraph of your e-mail I thought your dreams had to do with contentment and peace of mind. Then, as I read the details of the dream and picked up on the overall emotions of your words, I realized that it goes deeper than that.

Autumn is a beautiful, amazing time of year (my favorite, for sure). But it’s also a time when those of us who have lost loved ones have our own special problems to deal with. Think about it - beginning around September and carrying through January 1, emphasis everywhere is on fun, families, and happiness. That sounds like a recipe for sheer happiness, doesn’t it?! The thing is, if we have family members who are missing from the picture, we’re always aware of that. Halloween brings back memories of fun with family, Thanksgiving and Christmas - even more so. Family meals, family traditions, shopping for family members - it all centers around the family. If any are missing, we’re left with a feeling of sadness that we can’t put our finger on. We don’t want to talk about it to anyone else because we don’t want to “bring them down” or make them think we’re trying to spoil the festivities.

The heartfelt moments can sometimes feel more like heartbreak.

I believe that your dreams are a result of this nostalgic time. I think that the fact that you KNEW you couldn’t have what you wanted in your dreams illustrates that you realize you can’t possibly have what you really, deep down want - a restored family.

Another perfect symbolism is the desire for a baby. As you say, the baby, itself, wasn’t something you’d want. I think the baby simply illustrated family. You wanted to “add to” your family but it wasn’t with the addition of a new baby. You want to add to your family by bringing back the person you lost.

Finally, the hospital - another perfect example of dream symbolism. Your subconcious desire to return to the past and change things….to make the loss of your loved one result in a different, happy ending. The desire to “run” the hospital shows a desire to “make things right.”

I’d almost be willing to bet that you’ve recently lost a loved one and that the last place you saw them was in a hospital.

I can only imagine what a hard time you’re going through. You want to feel nothing but happiness and excitement with your little boys. I’m sure Halloween and Christmas are very much on their minds! I hope that you can take a little bit of comfort in the fact that what you’re feeling is very normal. All around you, people are going through the same thing. It doesn’t matter if they lost their loved ones 10 years ago or 1 year ago - to a very real extent, it always feels like yesterday.

If you were to approach the subject with people close to you, I guarantee you’ll find sympathetic ears - everyone has been there (or is there). My advice is to live your life as loudly as possible! Have fun at every opportunity and don’t feel guilty about doing so. Remember that right now you’re making the memories with your sons that’ll stay with them the rest of their lives. Try not to think as much about who’s not there as you do who is there, but don’t try to completely shut your memories out, either. There’s nothing wrong with missing loved ones - it only proves that they were loved ones.

Another suggestion: At night, right before you go to bed - say out loud, even - what you’re thankful for. Think about your little men (and your not so little man!), their smiles and laughter. Think about what special things you can make for them this Halloween. Get crazy with your decorations - all 3 of them will get a kick out of it!

I hope to hear from you again really soon, I’ll be thinking about you!
Sweet dreams (and that’s an order),
Joi

Dreams are often thoughts you don’t have time to think about during the day.

On Dream Prophesy.com and the Dream Prophesy blog we spend a great deal of time telling you what dreams mean, so I like to from time to time remind you of the importance of these dreams.

Your mind is the control center of your body. Everything about you, including your emotions and personality live in your brain! So, if you are seeking self knowledge, self help, or self fulfillment - there’s no better place to start than in your own mind. Makes sense, right?

The problem is that very often we’re so busy THINKING and DOING during the day, some of our mind’s “messages” are overlooked. You can think of these messages as “hidden clues” into what’s going on in your psyche. Dreams can let you know if you’re more stressed than you realize, if you’re carrying anger or resentment you didn’t know you still had, and even if your body has something wrong, pysically. Dreams can send signals to you about just about everything in your life. Reading through the dream analysis posts on this blog will give you an idea of what I’m talking about.
