Dreams ~ CHEMISTRY: Periodic Table

If my chemistry teacher in high school knew I've been dreaming of the elements and seeing the periodic table in my dream last night he would probably smile.

When I woke up at 2am after dreaming of the position of some of the elements in the periodic table I remembered that when I was in high school at an oral exam I told the teacher that there was too much going on in my life at that moment, that I was moving abroad and was visiting places I would never see again, seeing my friends and staring at their faces I would never see again, eating food I would never taste again and simply trying to squeeze as much of the images I could in my memory before I left the country. Above all... I made the bold statement: I know how important chemistry is but right now I have no time for this, I promise I will look into chemistry in depth in the future, now you can ask me the questions.

Wow!

I have no idea what the teacher thought of that, but upon reflection now, I must have been very confident (or insolent) to say something like that (aahhh teenagers). So peculiar I remembered this episode in my life after so many years… HAHAHAA..

The teacher said: if you are actually leaving the country for good, there is no way I will let you go with no Chemistry knowledge. It would be a disgrace if abroad they thought you are an example of an Argentine student and you will not be a good ambassador when this country is so rich in Chemists and of all sorts of people engaging in science. 

I was still feeling very strong. I waited for the questions and was ready to tap into my memory and general knowledge to answer them even though I had not studied for the exam.

After the 5 questions he said seriously: you passed.

I can't remember if he had actually asked very easy questions or if I had the answers right when drawing the sequence on the board but what the teacher didn't know was that he left an impact with those words he said and I was going to fulfil my promise and study chemistry when the time was right.

I was already good at being curious and looking into subjects that would have some significant application on my everyday life. Like food. 

I started studying nutrients in foods since I was about 12 specially because I was into a lot of sports and needed to eat well. As a result, I had a basic knowledge of chemistry but was only when I moved to France years later that the association of different elements and the way they can help or affect our energy became a priority.

Many studies have been done on this subject of course, but I found that ultimately the best guidance is listening to one's own body needs and giving the particular nutrient/element that is lacking when required. 

In my case if I don't listen to my body early enough I will get the message in my dream, so sooner or later a reminder of Chemistry will come to the foreground.

Last night I dreamed of the element 19 that is "K" in the periodic table. I know that Potassium is involved in nerve function and that would explain why I woke up from the dream feeling pressure in my cervical disk area (neck), feeling all in all very weak and with an upset stomach.

I quickly thought of something I could find in the kitchen that would help and ate a banana. It took me forever to do this, firstly because I was sleepy and don't usually eat at night, secondly because I had no energy to accomplish such a task, even breathing seemed such an effort.

When I went back to bed, quickly fell asleep and my upset stomach seemed to be put to rest as well.

In the morning I was happy I had payed attention to my dream since the potassium and essential nutrients in the banana were easy to digest and provided me with what I needed to see me through the night until breakfast. 

Dream ~ Meditation

When I woke up this morning I remembered dreaming I was lying down still.

The colours around me were so much vibrant than the colours we naturally see.

I was lying down still and naked on top of what seemed to be another body bigger than mine. My body was kind of in the middle because there was space all around me.

The surface/body I was lying on was flat and violet and there was a lilac light at the edges of this other surface.

I was asking myself why was I there and why was I meditating in such a colourful place on top of what could be another body of mine. I remember asking if I wasn't too heavy and a male voice replied I was so light.

With that I woke up.

This was my sleep cycle last night

Dream ~ Moon inhabitants

I had a very revealing dream last night and left me thinking about it all day. Let me tell you about it...

The other night I dreamed of an incredibly stunning woman who was there in my dream, like a presence.

The dream started in London I was walking in the streets of London just shopping away when it was getting dark and I decided to go home.

I stepped into a taxi and this beautiful, sophisticated African woman was already inside the taxi. I was sitting opposite her and we didn't talk (very unusual for me to say nothing, at least out of courtesy). There was an immense silence outside too, as if time had stopped.

Last night's dream was in Scotland again, I was walking up some hill and could see the water when looking up at the horizon. The sun was setting and it's colour was bright orange and so beautiful.

The same stunning woman was there again standing near me. She said nothing but I had the idea that she wanted me to see something or meet somebody.

Along came a young woman who quickly started talking to me. I noticed she looked different, like nobody I knew so I asked her where she was from because I have travelled a lot around the world and didn't seem to locate in my mind someone looking like her, specially when I'm very good at that! The beautiful African woman was still there with us but didn't talk.

The young woman said she lived on the Moon, and she made contact with me because it was important for me to know what she came to tell me.

I asked her how could she live on the Moon and where exactly. She said the race is similar to humankind on Earth but didn't breath in the same way humans do. She also said they lived underground, that there were cavities on the Moon's landscape and she lives inside one of them under the Moon's crust.

I then asked her if she needed the sunlight, as we do here on Earth. She said they do.

She then explained that there were some crystal formations that reflected the light perfectly. I couldn't quite picture this so she made an image possible for me to see in my mind.

It looked like giant pyramids of solid quartz crystals next to what looked like an extinct volcano.

I mentioned that I have never heard of this before and when looking at the Moon with the telescope I couldn't really imagine something like that. She said nobody could possibly see it with a simple telescope like mine.

I asked why she contacted me and she said that she did it because she knew:

-I was open minded enough to understand

-I would believe her

-My interest in the Cosmos allowed this

-To tell me that the celestial body Earth has set in motion a distress signal for the others in the Cosmos to see and come in aid.

I asked her if she knew that Mother Earth was probably asking for help and also asked her when did the distress signal was sent...

she said the moment the oil spillage occurred in the Gulf Coast.

At that moment I started to cry. I cried for so long that I woke up in tears.

If I think of this particular accident, I have to fight back the tears because it wouldn't be impossible for Mother Earth to cry for help knowing the disaster will affect all the waters of the planet.

The dream stayed with me well after I had my breakfast, but I can't possibly remember the female Moon inhabitant's appearance. I might try to dream of her again.

I thought about the dream for a long time and to dream of an African person may signify the human roots and heritage so perhaps it was Mother Earth herself or "Gaia" as I call her who was there for me facilitating the encounter.

My sleep cycle last night was:

Dream ~ Friend

The following dreams are about colours and their meanings in each situation.

I was at some conference inside a huge dark room with a speaker on a stage far from where I was sitting, there were so many people in that room. At a break I went into the hall area and spotted someone I knew. I was really happy to see him, so I approached him and hugged him briefly while saying hi and as I was going apart he hugged me back and held me like that for so long. We hugged for ages... Only then I realised he was wearing a red shirt and I was bathing in a loving feeling. I woke up to go to work and during there day when closing my eyes I could still feel this.

The colour red has deep emotional and spiritual connotations. Red indicates raw energy, force, vigour, intense passion, aggression, power, courage, impulsiveness and passion.

During this particular dream the colour red denoted my urge for energy, swiftness and enthusiasm from this person towards me. 

This was my sleep cycle that night:

 

September 25th

 I was out for lunch and saw my friend outside, I took his hand and asked him if we could have lunch together to catch up. We started walking in the city towards the cafes and restaurants. A colleague from work started walking near me and seemed to be wanting to talk to me, so I thought I shouldn't be holding hands with my friend just incase this work colleague wanted to join us so I walked away from my friend for a bit. My work colleague was in a rush so quickly walked in another direction so my friend and I carried on walking to find a place to have lunch. We were walking for a long time and were going up some stairs with black railings. I remember these railings because they were so shiny and black.

Black symbolises the unknown, the unconscious, danger, mystery, darkness. It also signifies a lack of love and lack of support.  The colour black invites to delve deeper into the unconscious in order to gain a better understanding of oneself. 

When we reached the 3rd floor in this open space I noticed he was wearing a yellow jumper and to be honest I rarely see someone with this colour, it was a striking woollen hand made kind of jumper. I kept looking at it because I have never seen him wear such a jumper. The colour represents deceit, disgrace, betrayal, cowardice. I took it to be the fear or inability to make a decision or take action. 

This friend of mine is someone I hold dear in my heart  but we rarely talk to each other, basically we are not close friends at all. It happens so that I haven't spoken to him and was meaning to do so for a few weeks now. I personally don't understand what is keeping this communication from happening. The more I think about it the more I seek an answer from the unconscious to solve the mystery in my mind. Sometimes there are clues in the way people react or behave that the mind chooses to ignore or deny but  unconsciously we know exactly what is going on.

The mystery for me is that I have no idea why someone wouldn't want to talk when given the chance more than once. 

This was my sleep cycle that night: 

October 18th 

I've seen my friend on Saturday, at last we went for lunch and had a catch up. I was relieved that I had the opportunity t

On the night from Saturday to Sunday we changed the clocks to the winter time and at 11pm I realised it was already midnight the old time and went to bed ;-) o see him and talk. Also I understood why he had no time at all.

This was my sleep cycle last night and when I woke up at 8am I remembered the dream and consciously tried to picture every single bit of the dream so that could remember. When I finally woke up at 9am I only remembered the dream that I had made the effort to remember.

October 31st 

This was my dream last night and wrote it immediately when I woke up this morning because I didn't want to miss a detail.

My friend and I were travelling to another city together to attend a conference, something to do with work. We checked in the hotel and when given the keys we went to our rooms. 

We were walking down some spiral stairs, the walls were very narrow and purple. 

I kept thinking that it was taking so long to reach a floor. We kept walking down and down and down. My friend was walking in front of me and was carrying a framed picture. To see a frame in a dream represents limitations and boundaries. Someone else may be putting restrictions. In this case my friend is putting the restrictions on me and this dream may be a reflection of a guilty conscience. 

Everything was purple at this point and purple is indicative of devotion, healing abilities, loving, kindness and compassion. Also justice. When the stairs ended we were in front of a wall, I panicked and thought we were trapped but he pushed into the wall with the frame he was carrying and we landed in a huge suite. To see a wall in a dream signifies limitations, obstacles and boundaries. The fact that it was him going through the wall and not me breaking down the wall, it means it wasn't me breaking through the obstacles or overcoming barriers but more his desire for some freedom and independence.

This room was so huge and luxurious that only hotels can manage this sort of environment.  

I noticed we were given the same room, never mind it was enormous and had two huge beds at opposite sides of the huge place, it was still the same room.

When I looked around the room there were glass bowls with coloured sweets everywhere, on every piece of furniture there was a bowl with sweets. Sweets represent indulgence, sensuality and forbidden pleasure. Perhaps I have been depriving myself of some joy or pleasure and the dream is a way for me to reward myself. Strange because I never eat sweets, but this doesn't mean the unconscious doesn't know the meaning of it .

Finally, to dream of a new room, suggests that I am developing new strengths and taking on new roles. Perhaps growing emotionally. So it was a very positive dream and I'm comfortable with the accurate analysis of every bit of the dream. I had a dream last night, well just before I woke up, that I was at work and somebody asked me if I was going to the staff party that night. I said yes and noticed my friend was looking at me so I asked to come close and went to hug him. There was nobody in that huge place so I started to dance with him. To dream that one is dancing signifies intimacy and a union of the masculine and feminine aspects of one's life. I was leading the dance indicating that I am in control of my personal life. 

Dec 18th 2011 

This morning I woke up to go to work and I was just dreaming of my friend!!! 

As I slowly went to the bathroom and then kitchen I made the point to remember the dream.

It was a peculiar dream because it was a dream inside a dream. I was on a bus, I had fallen asleep and had seen people in bright blue uniforms on that bus in my dream. Suddenly my friend woke me up and told me we were getting off at that stop. I said I was dreaming but quickly pulled myself together and decided to leave the bus.

We were in a futuristic bus at a bus stop and we, with lots of other people got off the bus.

The doors opened upwards and everything was in glass and transparent. Once I got off the bus I couldn't see my friend immediately and I thought he was gone but when I started to walk I saw him waiting for me at the corner of a narrow street.

He extended his hand for me to join him. I gave him my hand and off we walked. I looked around and asked him if he knew the way because I couldn't remember and he confirmed he did. Once I looked up some streets going up a hill I recognised the corner of those streets in front of me and told him I knew where we were. 

That corner was in Brussels, the street my work was and also my flat a few years ago. But the buildings were painted in yellow and they are actually not as I dreamed them. The yellow is symbolic of intellect, energy, agility, happiness, harmony and wisdom.

We arrived at the lobby of a restaurant (that particular area of brussels has lots of restaurants) and there was some music on. There was nobody there yet so I approached my friend and hugged him. The moment I hugged him I was thinking of the bond and the connection I was building at that precise moment and imagined white spiralling lights going from me to him. The moment the kind of fractal light that left my body was about to touch his, he stopped hugging and carried on talking to me but further away from me.

At that moment I thought that it was strange the moment I was about to come closer we were apart.

This was the sleep cycle last night.

Dream ~ iCloud

I had a short night sleep last night (6 hours) but according to the sleep cycle I was deep asleep all night. It took me forever to fall asleep (this occasionally happens when I'm thinking too much about some new concept or about someone and can't disconnect to relax and fall asleep) but once I fell asleep I was sleeping sound.

I didn't remember this dream when I woke up, I only remembered the last dream which was a funny one. Involving close friends and trust. 


I take the train to go into work every morning and on the journey while I was looking outside the window a bit sleepy... (probably going from Alpha to Theta brain waves, too relaxed and almost falling asleep) the iCloud symbol popped up in my mind! And... all of a sudden the whole dream was very clear. 

In the dream I was just browsing on my computer, the iMac in the lounge at home as I usually do and a man was standing behind me on the left hand side and said: 


Where is iCloud? 

I said: here... and went to fetch this logo with my mouse. 




He said: make sure that all the Macs have iCloud






I looked at him and it was Steve Jobs! 






In a serious tone I said: right. 

Needless to say, I was thinking of this dream all day and took it quite seriously.


My  iMac hasn't been updated to Lion yet because I never download something just because the upgrade is launched and available. Specially because I was really happy with Snow Leopard and had everything set up, etc. then went on holidays and upon my return I forgot.


The first thing I did when I got home this evening was to upgrade the Operating System to Lion (OS X Lion) and to get everything, including my iPhone up to date and iCloud ready. 


iCloud is a suite of services offering 5GB free storage for music, photos, contacts, calendars, apps, and other data. All of which synchronises effortlessly across the other Apple devices: iMacs, MacBooks, Mac Minis, Mac Pros, iPod Touches, iPhones, iPads, Apple TVs...

Dream ~ Blue Lava

credit: HubbleSite

I had an amazing night sleep last night and when I woke up I realised I had been dreaming for a long time. The dream started as a cosmic one so I always pay attention to these dreams.


I was in the city, walking on a paved street and when I arrived to a square there was an old man dressed as Merlin and doing some kind of dance with his hands. 


Suddenly bright lights started appearing around his hands and stars rose up into the sky...
They looked like bright golden lights rising and all of a sudden a huge cube occupied the square.
The cube had an air gel look and colour so passers by approached and touched it. I put one hand on the wall of this cube and it felt very soft, not sticky. I was expecting to go through, that an opening would appear or something but instead nothing happened and silence filled the air. So I panicked and told people around me to go and I started running.

In my mind I imagined that this cube would explode and when I was very far away looked back but the cube had melted to the ground instead and the blue substance started moving like lava.

Progressing more and more through the streets. I climbed onto a roof and was very chuffed with myself for the agility in my quick movements. Walking on the roofs I came into a small terrace and told people that there was enough space for everyone if they wanted to come up. Some did and we walked into somebody's flat and shut the doors and windows. After a while this blue substance started flooding the floor from under the door and people thought they were trapped but I spotted a very small window leading to some other roof even higher so I escaped through this tiny window. Again I was very happy that I could move so quickly out of the situation. There was a woman and my partner still in the room and told them they could escape too, but they didn't seem too bothered. And realised that this substance was just following me so by asking people to join me I was putting them in danger. So carried on running. I run and run and run and woke up.


I kept thinking of the slow movement of this blue lava and what it could mean because the colour blue represents truth, wisdom, heaven, eternity, devotion, tranquility, loyalty and openness. Perhaps expressing a desire to get away. 

Last night's sleep cycle:
