I have had dreams with the same characters since highschool. The first dream has me walking down a beautiful forest trail in oregon toward the beach. When I get to the beach there is a gorgeous man sitting in meditation. I walk up behind him and sit in lotus position and wrap my arms around him. I have never seen this individual. In later dreams we are facing each other in meditation on the beach, and I am often in tears and very emotional. I have not had this dream for a few years and last night I had it again... same characters different interactions. We were standing on the street in a small coastal town. We were both holding one of the twins I had given birth to. I in real life do not have any children. The twins were both female and were named Raven and Willow. As we stand on the edge of the street we view total chaos all around us but not touching us. I am trying to figure out what this dream means, is this person in my dreams a spirit guide, is it someone I will meet in the future, is it just a fantasy? In past dreams with this character I have seen him as a shaman or healer. If anyone has any clues or opinions on the meaning I would really appreciate it. I always wake up from this dream feeling very peaceful and rested.
There is always the possibility that such realistic dreams can be of the future. It is, however, more likely that this is part of your inner world. This person could be a spirit guide as they seem to be able to enter our inner worlds. It's hard to say really, but any psychologist would say the dream has meaning. The question really becomes, does it have meaning for the present or the future?
. i've been in most every oregon coast town - i got to wonder which one you would choose . from Bandon to Seaside is a great walk . actually , i hitched more than walked that hwy and more than once . ? wouldn't you just want to ... ....go see go be go ....within the feeling ....true ....believer i think you'll get to live it out to know what it means .
Here are the interesting facts (I'm getting all analytical): 1. The same character keeps re-appearing in your dreams, even after an absence of years. 2. The dreams have a spiritual theme, are about love and peace, and leave you feeling peaceful. Is this character a present spirit guide, or a future companion? Stay tuned... Question: This recent dream of peace in the midst of turmoil - does this characterize your current life in any way? In other words, do you feel you're in the midst of turmoil in your waking life? Another question: Are the names Raven and Willow the kinds of names you would imagine yourself picking out? (btw my wife was given the name of one of our daughters in a dream, while she was pregnant - after she told me about the dream and the name, I said the name was perfect). I dunno Vidaypaz, in the midst of being analytical, I just got a vibe that the dreams are portents - but see what others think.
yaya , i had a dream and it was a long-cycle dream age 9 to 36 . just live it unto resolution . peace and love . such a dream rather 'spills' into life . it finds a physical expression and then that dream is done .
It sounds so cool - and i guess it is influncing your life because it repeats itself for so many years, right?
well , yes , and sometimes i still wonder of it . it's good that i am living a long time still in wonder . it's been another 15 years since that dream resolved on a mountain in Oregon . it came into reality with bones and weeping and sunrise and coyotes and a flute and the wildwood . i was eaten . it's a part of my strength . ooooo , and now something's up and i'm going to have to rely on it . .
Manzanita is the town in the dream...I love the coast and haven't spent much time in this specific town...so it is interesting that it was the location of the dream
In my opinion, dreams are A reality. They have to be for we can experience them and more than one person can experience the same dream. Dreams are often our travels through the many astral planes through which our spirits/souls/consciousness are able to travel through time, space and psyche. Alas, to truly find out if ones dream portends the future one has to wait till such a thing happens... or doesn't happen. Though, according to some of the specifics of your multiple dreams it is highly possible that this person does exist physically. However, they may look completely different than in the dream/astral worlds(I know I do, so don't focus on the visual form for it can change at will in the astral/dream realities). It's also a possibility that this entity does not have a physical body at present and simply exists in the spiritual realms. I feel that the latter is not as likely due to the kinds of contact you've been having with this entity over the years. I have had many experiences such as this and have met many people in my dreams before I meet them physically(or online). Also, I'd suggest visiting said town more... I've had many dreams in which a particular place reoccurred and have found that when I go to such places(when they exist physically) I'm likely to meet people that I agree with, someone that needs my help or some equally cool object that I've been wanting or needing. Though, we do have the tendancy to create/find 'places of power' which we frequently visit (in dreams and 'reality') when we need or want the kind of 'power' that site gives us. Such is why I travel, led by dreams. Anyways, I hope more horizons have been broadened.
