THE RECURRING OR REPEAT DREAM

I will begin with a common dream theme that I interpret in dreams all of the time. This is the recurring or “repeat” dream theme. A recurring or repeat dream is when you dream the same dream over and over again with the same dream symbols. Recirring and repeat dream themes can occur night after night or at different time intervals in our lives, sometimes years apart. When you have a recurring (repeat) dream, there is one of two issues going on within you and your everyday, three-dimensional life. You are either “consciously” understanding what your dream communication is telling you and not making the necessary changes accordingly in your everyday life OR you do not understand what your dream is communicating to you and your DreamSelf (the part of you within that creates your dreams for you)  is giving you the same dream over and over again until you get its meaning!

Recurring and repeat dreams indicate that “karmic” situations are going on within you and your life. Karmic situations are repetitive actions and circumstances that you have previously experienced and are now recreating to experience again. The reason that you may be repeating them is possibly you have not understood the meaning of the experience for you and your life in the past so you are recreating it again to try to understand its meaning now. Also, you may be recreating your experience again to complete it.

Here’s an example of a “Recurring” or repeat dream interpreted using the Dreamtime Method to interpret it.

Dear Dreamtime,                                                                                                                                                                                                                 I have a recurring dream that my car has been stolen. I come out of a store or work and look for my car and it is gone! I report it stolen and never get it back. Can you tell me what this dream means?

Dear Dreamer,                                                                                                                                                                                                                       With this recurring dream your DreamSelf is communicating to you that within your current thinking and thoughts creating your now . . . your car has been stolen. Using the Dreamtime Method, I start by taking the everyday definition of a “car.” The normal definition of a “car” could be understood as: a vehicle that moves one from “place to place” in their daily living. In this dream, because you say your car has been stolen, your inner DreamSelf is communicating that there is some issue going on in your daily living now (and in the past since this is a recurring dream) where your ability to move from place to place within your own life (your car) is being stolen or robbed from you. You say that, in your dream, you’re always coming out of a store or work, you look around, and your car is just gone. A “store” as a dreams ymbol from your DreamSelf is communicating your “inner store,” or your own “inner resources.” “Work” as a dreamsymbol is communicating “the job” within you that now needs to be done, much as your daily work is a job that you do every day.

You either come out of the store (your inner resources) or work (the job that needs to be done now) and your car is gone (your ability to take action on either of these in your life right now). You report the car stolen, but never do get it back. The “action” of  reporting the car stolen and then never getting it back is saying that on some level, you consciously know that your ability to move (forward) is being stolen or taken away in your everyday living situation, but you aren’t doing anything to help yourself prevent or stop this from happening. This above understanding terpretation of your dream coupled  with the fact that this is a “repeat dream” is saying that your DreamSelf Within is so adamant that you now make some kind of a change in your life that it keeps giving you this same dream over and over again so you will become consciously aware of the karmic situation in your life and do something about it! Your dreams not only tell you what’s going on in your life, but as your own “multidimensional energy” from within attract into your next day and days after dreaming your dream similar three-dimensional (physical energy) to provide the solution for whatever your dream is addressing. It is in this way that your dreams create your everyday, three dimensional Self and life.

Understanding the above, I would now look for the energy and information to be available of what or who in your everyday living situation is stealing your ability to move forward with your valuable inner resources (your creativity within) and to manifest them in your everyday life. Becoming consciously aware of how you are letting your energy to be taken (stolen) will allow you to then do something about the situation so you can resolve this karmic energy situation and move forward with yourself and your life.

Your multi-dimensional DreamSelf Within that creates your dreams for you is not separate from you! Your DreamSelf Within is the same you that lives within you during waking reality. Your DreamSelf is, however, an unlimited, supernatural dimension of yourself within that knows and has access to all things! That means that your DreamSelf  knows exactly what you need to do in your life to be whole and fulfilled from within. You can trust its advice!

Please e-mail me back when you get this and let me know if there is anything that you did not understand of how I used the Dreamtime Method to interpret your dream. Thank you again for submitting your dream for interpretation and good dreaming!

Here’s the response I received after I sent the above dream interpretation to the Repeat Dreamer

Dear Terri,                                                                                                                                                                                                                             As soon as I started reading your dream interpretation of my dream, I knew what it was referring to. This interpretation could not be more “right on” regarding some of the thinking that I have about how I want to make a career change in my life, but end up saying to myself that I could never do it. I realized from how you explained this dream that I have been constantly (over a period of years now) feeding myself negative talk about making any kind of a change.

I’m tired of having this dream over and over and of my negative thinking about myself that I now see from this dream interpretation is actually creating this. Thank you for your insightful interpretation. I’m going to try and change my thinking about this and see if this draining repeat dream goes away for good so I can move ahead with what it is I really want to do.
