Another "dreams" topic

[karatekid1975]

Hey all.

I don't know where to put this. I had a dream last night that is martial arts related, but it was just a dream.

Ok, let me explain. I had a dream that I failed my test, which is true. But my instructor made me go back to white belt, not true. But in the dream, I had to. I was like, "Na I'm not wearing no freaking white belt!" But I did. And I hated every minute of it. I woke up shaking my head. This was a very vivid dream, too. It was almost real ... scary

I don't uderstand the dream, really. Because I know if I started another style, I would have no problem with it. Or would I?!?!?!

I'm totally confused. Help me out here, please?

What do you need help with?

I don't quite get it. Are you taking the dream as what will happen in the future?

[karatekid1975]

I really don't know myself. I was wondering if it will happen like that in the future, or if this dream was just that, a dream. I don't think I would be that un-modest (is that a word?? LOL) about wearing a white belt. I've done it twice already.

Anyways, maybe someone that likes to figure dreams out will stop in

I wouldn't worry about it, it was just a dream.

Starting over isn't a bad thing though.

Im going to get alot of hate directed towards me but I interput dreams and instead of discribing why they are very important I will just jump in and help describe what your dream means.

#1 your dream signifies the displacement or loss of something. In the dream its your Belt Rank but in reality it could be a few things. But I will post them below and possiable answers.

#2 Disagreeing with any judgement in a dream and then for some reason accepting it physicaly or not being able to stop it and still being upset over the action usualy means one thing = SUPRISE! I will add this all up below in a minute.

#3 Your master and dojo has meaning too, I don't know you personaly but I would say you look at them as being signs of power, skill, and leadership. In almost everycase of dreams of power and skill the reality points to a Father or Grandfather figure in your life.

Ok so add that all up and you have about 2 possiable meanings, or they could mean both. Below is the first interputation and I have been doing this for countless years so take in the advice and I hope it helps.

#1 Interpetation You are having a dream telling or warning of a loss/ or death of a Father figure, Grandfather figure or Man you look up to highly in your life. In the dream it will come out as a suprise and you will be in denile over it. - Yes I know it sounds out there but this is interpetation after all I didn't have the dream.

#2 Interpetitation ... Ok this one runs down the emotial side, it means that you are missing out on a Father or Grandfather figure in your life and even though you think of them but don't physicaly know them they are about to become even more lost to you or a death will result. This is also a future dream. I would say that if you don't know your father or never met him or maybe you just don't speak to him much or a Grandfather then one of them are about to be taken away, so Make up now please.

#3 Interpetation-- Ok this is not a dream of the future and hits home on the emotional needs....Basicaly You need a Father figure or Grandfather figure, or you miss one of them and are in some form of denile about them...if I knew you better I would go further on it....good luck I hope it helps.

(((Please noone else respond untill Karatekid replies thank you and yes I know you all think Im a nut no need to rant n rave about it just yet.))

Manabimasho1, I don't think you're nuts, and I actually enjoyed your post.

But your interpetations maybe a little off. Because my father died last year. BUT part of it may be true. I may be looking to "replace" that father figure.

I also kind of figured out my own interpetation. Tell me what you think. Anyways, I think the "white belt" part is referring to something that has nothing to do with MA. It has to do with life in general. I'm making changes in my life .... new job, going to school in september, ect. I'm putting on the new "white belt of life". I'm starting fresh in my life. But when I refused it in my dream, I think that just means I am sub-consciously scared of the new things that will happen. But since I took it and hated the white belt in my dream, it means that it won't be a easy road to the "new life." I'm going to have to bust my behind to get there. I probably won't enjoy the journy much, but I will stick it out till I HAVE that new life (new career).

Yeah I would say the white belt has to do with your new surroundings and most people see white as the color of innocense, purity, new begginnings, which could be you stuck in a new area new job, new friends, and feeling lost. But in my point of view, since so much of it seemed to do with a father figure or grandfather figure I believe there is something to it as well. Just because your father has passed on to the other side doesn't mean he is not there to listen or that you can't miss him. Perhaps that new job or new area has something to do with him like where or what he did.....I don't know exactly because I would have to know you....

The thing is when someone dreams people in differnt cultures and views see an object in thier dream as something else. To understand your dreams you have to take each NOUN or thing and describe what you feel from it and assign it a few virtues or emotions. Then you take each EVENT in your dream and do the same thing.

Some people see Spiders as a Protector, others see them as Evil. But in almost every case a Spider has to do with your Mothers love towards you. Usualy when I ask someone how they view the spider that is how they will view their mother or her love to them or thier feelings about her. The Brain tries to send us messages about how we feel so we can promote health and long life, take your time to listen to the dreams and you will find they may start coming faster and more often with new stories to tell.

Good luck with the new things in your life, and if your stuck I would reflect on your Father, perhaps he or his life has an answer or meaning for you right now.

Thanks Manabimasho1 That was interesting. Thought provoking. I will try to do that.

Oh and I'm not afraid of spiders. I usually pick them up and let them craw on me or play with them LOL. So that could mean that I am close to my mom, right (which is true)? She is my best friend and we act like best friends when we get together (like shopping, eating out, having fun, ect).

There is lot to be said for Manabimasho's interpretaion here Laurie. But.....I also agree with your interpretation. May I add to this????

As previously stated in our discussions of late, you are answering your own questions via dreams. It may be a more simple explanation than you think.

Then I did a good job- My goal was to help him and sometimes you have to feed a wounded bird. They will fly on thier own.
