For the past few months, I’ve been having intense and memorable dreams. In the past, I’ve had similar experiences but only rarely. Now, this has become a nightly occurrence. It has been suggested to me multiple times in my life to keep a dream journal, something I never really felt called to do. This past week however, I finally started both recording and analyzing these dreams on a deeper level. What I found was very surprising.
I am currently going through a significant transition in my life. A year and a half ago I made the decision to quit my corporate job, leave my family and life as I knew it to completely change paths. This was not necessarily a dramatic shift, but one that had slowly been building over time. I chose to move out of state, live with people I considered family, and embody a new way of life that had deeply called to me. Two months ago, I underwent yet another shift and have moved back home. This change was not merely to resume my old life, but create something new from an old baseline, using my newfound experiences and awareness. This ties directly to my recent dream experiences.
Before I started recording and analyzing my dreams, they made little sense to me. Often I’d wake up feeling both disoriented and curious, but having no real indication of what they meant. If something was really impactful I would do some research to make sense of it. However, I still had no real idea of what this all meant. The research I did led more to a generic significance than one that was personal to me. Such as if an apple appears in your dream, it often means x, y or z. This was not beneficial for me.
What really changed things was the full moon and eclipse portal on 3/3/26. That night I had two very intense and significant nightmares. I awoke from the first one around 2am and the second around 5am. In both dreams I was being detained and analyzed by authority figures. There was a great sense of fear, anxiety and confusion. Also, the environments I was in were very tangible but I was not able to understand why I was there. At the end of both dreams however, one of my teachers appeared to assure me that no matter the chaos of the journey, I would make it through.
After waking from each of these dreams I wrote every detail I could remember. Every night since I have had similar experiences and proceeded to record the details as I woke up from them. What I found after analyzing these dreams were significant and relevant themes to what I am going through in my daily life.
Those first two dreams, while seeming like recurring themes of trauma and anxiety, were actually symbolic to my inner world. I had been putting such a tremendous amount of stress and pressure on my self to make a new path that I had become my own judge, jury and executioner. These jolting visions showed me how I was treating myself inwardly and that I drastically needed a change. The significance of my teacher being present was to remind me that this is part of the path and I have to keep moving forward. That despite my fears and worries, I am capable and will making it through.
The following dreams since all have a corresponding theme. I have been taken to restaurants, cruise ships, old jobs, surrounded by old and new faces and and an overall sense of leaving something behind. What these dreams are showing me is that I am currently in a significant phase of transition. Something I already knew, but did not see the full depth of. Currently, I am rearranging my life and consciousness to prepare to move forward. Integrating old parts, sorting through my current state of awareness and seeing what truly needs left behind. The destination will come in time, but I am not quite there. These messages are not only informing but also helping me understand how to handle this period of my life. As well as providing reassurance that I can navigate it.
The point I make in all of this is that our dreams are not just nonsense. They are our subconscious making a sincere attempt to communicate and guide us based on our current life circumstances. Dreams are not something to be dismissed. The people, places and experiences we have in these instances are not so much about those specific people or places. They are our subconscious communicating a certain significance or symbolism through those things. What do they mean to us, how do they relate to our waking life, how do you feel about them, and so on.
It is only when I started making an honest effort to understand these dreams, and more importantly, provide a tangible vehicle for them to further their communication, that I began to truly understand. The more awareness and effort you give to something of this nature, the stronger the communication, connection and guidance will become.
No one knows you better than your own self. Utilize these opportunities.
