Dreams – The Lessons & Reflections

How one dream can open your eyes, or challenge your views, the story it presents and the ideas that otherwise would be considered against the false views of the Moral Majority. This article speaks to some challenging views, some ideas not all would agree with. Yet still important, as to grasp what it can present to those who are interested in grasping the power of dreams.

Pigs & Dreams ~ An Analysis

dream july 14 2009

The stage is set in this dream, to be inside a house, similar to a
place I lived on Archer Street
seemingly so long ago with the addition of two pig pens. A simple
duplex with a driveway, and yet what appeared to be the most dangerous
stretch of road in the entire town just outside.

In a house on a block, two pigs in their own pens in the start, outside
multiple crashes, one seemed resulting in a small work truck to appear
to be hiding behind a much larger truck as they drove away traveling at
the same speed as if to make it seem it did not ever occur. The only
way to know for sure is to have seen the crash first hand which I had
done just that. Moments later after those two made the turn back onto
one of the main roads, you hear two other crashes and see them, one
seeming to be because two cars were going opposite directions but in
the same lane. The second one seemed to be more like a spinout and a
crash into another car just beside it. All of this in a matter of only
minutes between each other giving this block the distinction the most
dangerous stretch of road at least in this dream session.

The two pigs, now that was an interesting spin on an already wacky day,
as somehow they both got out of their pens and were walking around.
These pigs, were actually reminiscent of my younger brother Paul’s pigs
http://goo.gl/7X6Z),
whom he had named Red and Blue because of their interesting color type
that he had raised at a farm when part of Future Farmers of America,
that can be found at (http://bit.ly/2bNCGW) that tells you a
bit about that organization, now his pigs though he raised them, were
eventually sold to slaughter as just as with anything it was an
exercise for High School Students at Salinas High School (http://bit.ly/dbSPn)
to raise and sell a pig on the Open Market even if it was a bit biased,
as the profitability was much higher as it was a reward for a job well
done.

Though two pigs got out only one, Blue, no less was the one who seemed
to want to go to the window of the duplex, as I tried to intercept the
pig before he got there. I know little or nothing about pigs, as I
never really had taken such a class as he had but even without
awareness I remembered some of his techniques for controlling the pig
… as when he was raising both Blue and Red when he would take them
out for a walk he would use a stick to redirect them to the direction
he wanted them to go. Now I did not have a stick at that time so I
instead tried to use my hand, but first I tried to grab for his snout
to see if I could redirect him that way, which I later reconsidered as
I was thinking about boars, well at least wild boars and how they are
willing to use their tusks as well as their teeth so I though better of
it, even if blue was only a simple pig, blue butt. After trying to hit
the pig to redirect him to a new destination and after thinking better
of going after his snout, I figured I would just let him go to the
window that he seemed so intent on doing. Funny thing is later in the
dream I see him laying on his back with his hoofs up in the air taking
a nap. I had told Paul, as he appeared in my dream at that time. to
check on his pig, but he seemed busy with something else.

Now far as red goes, the other pig, I can only guess, as it was after
the events with Blue that I awoke to the start of a new day here in
Salinas, so will have to try and revisit the dream at a later time, in
another session that will be left for another day.

Now for some analysis from Dream Dictionary by Tony Crisp (http://bit.ly/oMHvt),
not an absolute authority in regards to the images in dreams but at
least a point of interest, first let’s take a look at what pigs mean in
a dream ;

  • A pig in a dream; could mean Fertility; physical
    appetite; life directed only by physical needs; sensuality; ungoverned
    passion or appetite; uncleansiness; untamed human nature. The sow
    represents giving of oneself and sustenance; procreative fertility;
    lack of directives arising from anything other than sensory pleasure. Idioms:Pig

That is surely an exhaustive explanation of a pig in a dream, but the
challenge next is to see what part of that you can relate too. For me,
I would think the most accurate definition is that I give of oneself,
as I am a writer and I am intrigued by sharing thoughts, and reading
other thoughts about subjects from Open Source, BicyclingandHealth,
and so many more, often shared in my BlogsIWrite
via Blogger
and WordPress.

Now about the Car (Collision) multiple accidents on a single stretch of
road; this is how the Dictionary defines it;

  • Collision: possible conflict of opinions with another
    person; careless behavior leading to problem in relationship; painful
    encounter, careless driving in waking.
  • Crashing a Vehicle: self desired failure – perhaps to
    avoid stress or responsibility and change; fear of failure; failure in
    relationship; argument – you may be on a collision course with boss or
    partner; occasionally psychological or physical breakdown threatened.
    If the vehicle crash has a sense of death (which it did not) then the
    dream may be exploring the anxieties or feelings about death. (It is)
    not a warning of death but a meeting with whatever values and fears one
    has about it. It may however be a warning you about activities having a
    negative effect on your life or health, ESPinDreams.

Indeed that also got me thinking about how it could relate to my own
life, as the roots of any analysis is to bring it to the forefront, as
each dream can mean different things to different people. When I look
at that definition I can relate to most points being offered, as just
the other day I was remembering my Grandmother who passed sometime
back, that article can be found (Lola Miguel’s death) or at least
a brief summary. The point being, that because I was just thinking
about that the other day, that may of been in part why there was so
many crashes at the same time. Also in agreeing to the second point
about the activities or lack therof, as my focus has primarily been on http://raymondmarr.com
lately on writings about Ubuntu and Open Source to a point where I have not been
getting as much exercise as I need to be in line with BicyclingandHealth
month.

That is it for now, what do you think, why not offer your feedback in
the comments or join me at Twitter (http://bit.ly/2pE2S8) or follow the
conversations via #Dreams.

Idioms:Pig

  • pig in a poke; happy as a pig in shit; make a pig of
    oneself; pig in the middle; pigs might fly; pigheaded.

BicyclingandHealth

The month of July is supposed to be a month of #BicyclingToday

to speak on and to write about the wonders of bicycling and why
everyone should be out there riding, how there are other possibilities
then driving #AnAutomobile

to do something different to take steps in a new direction for new
experiences yet to be had.

and the list is always growing the question is how many more blogs need
to be put together or is there a point where it all should be in one

And as I look at it, constantly amazing to me that there has been so
much content created even with simply an article a two a day, but to
keep the pace high enough may be more difficult sometimes as there
needs to be momentum and Reader Connection or the writing is for naught
except for the occasional browser who finds something interesting.

WordPress

Is a new medium that has a bit more interesting options then Blogger which is
why I decided to go with it for the moment.

Also the ease of redirection as I guess you can also do with Blogspot
via Blogger
seems to make good sense to me, So I took the proper steps in this new
direction and begin setting up blogs at Word Press and yet I wonder if
it is similarly how it went with Blogspot, mutliple blogs on multiple
subjects, that are worked on every now and again. So Really I need to
look at that aspect of the circumstance.

Lola Miguel’s death

When she passed she had fought a hard battle, she did all she could and
she outlasted even what the Doctors had said, it was to bad that
eventually all the things she was dealing with caught up with her and
her health was in a downward spiral, may she rest in peace in that
place in the sky call it what you will. She made a difference for many
over multiple generations, she is surely missed and will continue to be
but her memory lives on in GrandpaMiguel and in the extended family
they have both have had the opportunity to see them grow up.

Dream – A Crash to a Ride

What a way to start a story to explore a dream session, driving along a highway with no name, one misjudgment and a slide down a hill so fortunate it was only sand, and a road so close to begin anew in a different journey, three people two known one unknown, in a small unnamed town with a single road.

The vehicle driven by my mother, myself as the passenger and one other who did not appear until later in the dream, unknown to me and to my mother. He was described as a much bigger man, strong upper body, sitting in the back seat, while I sat in the passenger side.

Towards the bottom of this sand dune, does the dream really begin, as fortunately we landed very close to another road, with a single lane into a town that seemed to only be of ghosts. An abundance of silence, mystery surrounding us, the first issue to get the car from the sand dune to the road in the mysterious town. A push here and a pull there eventually bringing it far enough out of the sand to find the traction, to once more be an effective means of transporation.

The first stop for some reason, around the back of the one store that seemed to be in this town, no idea why it was chosen though when I saw what occured as we came around the back I wondered if there was more to it then I thought. As we turned the corner, I see someone I vaguely recognize from my early days in IHelP (Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Program) back in the same location, the difference instead of the bike he used to ride in this dream he only had a scooter. He said something to that mysterious third person in the car something to the effect of “Master ….” now I don’t know what he meant by that but we kept on and shortly thereafter he is jumped, two men come out of the woodwork and start to punch him apparently stealing his wallet and his money as could be heard “That is all I got for my travel expenses …” a muffled response from one of the assailants “Now it is mine for my expenses …” and that was only the start once the two disbanded one went to lay down in something I don’t remember what it was but he could be heard talking to himself, proving his lack of complete sanity.

I asked the person in the back seat “What if they came over here and went after us?” his only response as he took his shirt off “We would of beat their ass …” Now at this point we had come down off the Sand Dune and the first thing that was seen was a large building maybe a church or something and after looking at the building for a moment we ended up pulling into the parking lot of the Supermarket when my homeboy was getting jumped. All of this took place in a relatively short period of time far as dreams go, as the interpretation of time in a dream is just that.

Eventually we pull out of the parking lot, back on the one lane road out of town, seeking the well known Highway 101 and was about to ask where it was, it was to bad at this point I awoke after a short period of time and yet another dream left unfinished until the next night … so it shall be seen what will be the dream tonight.

Dreams of Marriage ~ Thoughts on It.

A dream of an impending marriage yet to happen with me as the happenstance groom to a girl whose name is never mentioned and whose face is never seen, yet is to be married on that day and in that time. With the colors chosen of Orange and White, so apparent throughout this dream session I wondered.

Yet throughout this session, the happenstance groom does not seem to be truly ready to make the commitment and continually try and delay it finding and deciding to constantly procrastinate even though everyone who is close are expecting it to be great and constantly remind this happenstance groom how excited they are about this marriage and doing all they can to hurry it along, all the while the groom to be, concerned about it. Not really ready for a commitment while everyone else is seeing green I find myself at Yellow getting ready to stop the entire charade. Strangely this dream seemed so real yet it was only a dream.

Dream analysis as a means to relay messages, through the images, or the symbols presented in the dream. It is certainly hard to say but I wondered last night, how and why I have not traveled, internationally in so many years even though I had said many times I would make the trip yet never have. Have not ever saved enough money to go and do it because the income was previously based on sweat equity, trading time for dollars. For that green paper, that we are told is the only currency even if it is worth less then the tree it was cut from.

Really there is more to this session, as it started as a dream but through further thought and analysis I realized there was more to it then even that. Like why I am here in this same place, where I have long been, without alot of money and many dreams, the two put together become a much clearer picture. That it is always about this green paper, based on nothing, said to be worth something according to the numbers on it. Even though in it’s simplest form all it consists of is printing on paper. This paper seens as currency, for all debts public and private. This paper you need alot of to do anything, to travel to explore to experience things paid public or private debt. A paper that is on a downward spiral not expected to recover anytime real soon to be lost in it’s own abyss.

Perhaps that is exactly the point, that such a wedding of two people is appropiately only a dream with an unknown bride simply because, rather then think for yourself, instead you subscribe to a flawed tradition, because that is the way it is always done so why change?

Well why not make a difference, there have been more then a few that I have known personally, who are quite happy with a long term relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend, in fact they even have kids from him, yet would not even think of marrying them simply because it is easier to keep doing the same while setting the precedent for these same children to follow suite, as new ideas are formulated of what a relationship should be, not exactly as it is said to be . How many single mothers do you know? Perhaps as only the logical result of being raised by the same. Experienced life in a single parent household experiencing the hardships and learning the lessons through the challenges resulting in a survival of fittest attitude to do the best they can however they can. The idea of marriage being so definite only in a dream form seems to be appropiate and quite accurate in relation to the society of today, not so much of yesterday which in itself fading away as people pass on, late in their years, that will be forgotten, will fade away just as they do.

What will be left? Only new ideas, marriage clearly becoming only a dream, as new ideas see it as a failed organization, a false idea, why get married at all when you can just as easily have a long term relationship with a boyfriend or girlfriend, have kids, be together. The only difference the lack of a ring on your finger, without offering up 50% of what you own to another through the false union of two people, that really will often end in divorce after all.

The society of today has different views and ideas about relationships and marriage and in that what precedent will be set from this point forward? I leave that up to you to decide, as we each have an opportunity to do whatever it is we subscribe to for better or worst till death do you part.
