Interpreting the Dream of Driving

The dream of driving is a common experience and can tell us a lot about our current focus and situation in waking life. Driving a vehicle denotes movement and suggests travel, but where and in what direction?

A sincere analysis of this dream activity can lead to a deep insight regarding your daily experience or life path in general. This dream can give clues to such things as: who is in control and why? Are you on an uphill climb or a downhill slide or somewhere in between?

When you have this dream, you’re going to want to take into account the type of vehicle being driven because this in itself can represent differing motivations and attitudes. You’ll also need to look at the condition of the vehicle and road, the weather, how you feel about the journey, and who is accompanying you. Do you know where you are driving to? What do you see up ahead? Etc.

Interpreting the Dream of Fields

Seeing fields in a dream can represent many things: prosperity, success, personal growth, intuitive connections, freedom, desire for peace, starting over, building up from nothing… Also rejuvenation, healing, fertility, and sustenance. Depending on the condition of the field, it can also represent a lack of such things. Determining precisely what is personal and will depend on other elements of the dream.

For some people, field imagery can be quite common, perhaps even an everyday experience. For these people, dreaming of a field will have a more personal connection and may simply be a familiar symbol of home or work life. Even in such an instance, however, the condition of the field and other elements of the imagery will still be meaningful and should be analyzed.

To recognize what this dream symbol means for you, take a look at the details that are immersed within it. For instance, if the crop is withered or dead, it could indicate something you are doing or allowing in your life that is killing your passion, true purpose, or goals in waking life. Every detail helps tell the story.

How does the field appear to you? What does it feel like? Are you greeted by a person, animal, or energy? What grows there? What are you doing? Does the field appear fertile or does it contain a dying crop?

Dream Messages of the Field

Keywords:
Sustainability / Opportunity / Harvest / Autonomy

To dream of being in the wide openness of a field could indicate a desire
to be free from social pressures or responsibilities.
It could also indicate a need to care more gently for oneself.

When dreaming of a field, you should take a close look at your own true nature and purpose, as this may be a call from Source to more fully embrace the essence of your highest Self within your everyday life and associations. Fields tend to represent prospects and opportunities, so think about what the details of the field and your interaction
with it could be trying to reveal to you.

Examining the details of the dream experience in that field is necessary to gain
clearer insight here. Remember to check all of your senses to gather a
well rounded understanding of this dream experience.


Some Questions to Ask Yourself:

Does the dream take place somewhere familiar to me in the waking world?
What kind of significance do I place on this location, specifically or in general?
What was the condition of the field in my dream?
Was I there in the field or did I view it from afar?
Was I viewing the field from an open space or through a window?
What was the weather like?
Could I feel, smell, or hear anything in particular while viewing the field?
How did it feel to be there?
Was it day or night?
Was something growing in the field? Was it something I planted?
Were the crops there healthy? Was the growth new or mature?
Had the field been harvested or was it being harvested during the dream?
Was I alone in the field or with someone?
Did I see other people or animals? Were they familiar to me?

The Dream Walker or Other Realm Journeyer

If you are familiar to dreamworking and are a vivid dreamer, you may have heard of the DreamWalker. This is someone who practices dreamwork as a way to shed the cloak of the mundane experience and connect to other world mysteries for the benefit of growth, healing, and guidance (both for self and others). This is done with intention and a calling that is innate.

Keep reading to learn more about Dreamwalkers.

The Dream Walker or Other Realm Journeyer

A Dreamwalker is any being who journeys through the dream world as alternate realities.
They roam these planes or realities purposefully and with pure intent. They seek to connect with other beings in order to learn, to teach, to create, to grow, and to heal – self and others.

Dreamwalkers may or may not be of this world.
They may be here with us now, alive in our own reality,
or they may have long passed from this world into another.
A Dreamwalker may even be someone you know and are close to.
You may be a Dreamwalker.

Dreamwalkers are not to be feared.
They are helpers and often act as guides or protectors inside the dream realm.
Their presence within the dream can often set nerves and troubled minds at ease.
Resonating love at high frequencies, they can help to heal pain and comfort those who are grieving. This is their power, their gift; pure as the soul itself.

If you have been protected or guided by a Dreamwalker then you have been blessed
If you have acted as a protector or guide to others within the dream world, then you have acted in a truest way, with love, bestowing blessings upon them.

Are you a Dreamwalker? Ask yourself these questions:

Have I a long history of remembering dreams, even with interwoven scenarios?
Do I normally find it easy to understand my dream surroundings and how elements interact?
Am I typically able to control my thoughts and actions within a dream?
Does Astral Traveling or Lucid Dreaming come easy to me?
Do I tend to visit loved ones or even acquaintances when in the dream world?
Do people ever tell me that I showed up in their dreams and does this ever feel familiar?
Have I ever set an intention to visit a certain person in Dream and then did so successfully?
Do I tend to connect with others in my dream via emotional states?
Do I receive visitations from deceased loved ones?
Do I receive visitations from Light Beings?
In the dream world, am I able to communicate telepathically?
Do I actively seek to help others within the dream world?


Answering yes to the questions above in their majority will help you determine the validity of this role in your own experience. If you’ve answered yes to most, but not all, this is a pretty good indication that you have this ability but have not yet honed it well.
With attention, you are sure to experience it more fully.

~Shama

If you have experienced a Dreamwalker coming into your dreams, then you’ll know the power they provide. They can appear in many forms and they may or may not interact directly with you. But either way, you will notice them and they you. Once this happens, you will experience a shift in the energy around you and in your own awareness. Something may instantly occur to you or a sense of calm will envelop you.

Sometimes, they will physically embrace you. If that happens, it will almost certainly feel like a warm enveloping rather than just a hug. You will feel comforted in a bigger, more sustained way, and this will carry with you throughout your dream, if it doesn’t wake you up. This feeling can stay with you for days, months, or even years.

Dreamwalkers tend to communicate without words, but if one does speak verbally to you, it will be with few words and may even be something that seems, on its surface, to be nonsensical but is really a symbol or message of something highly meaningful to you. Therefore, you will understand the underlying intention regardless of the particular words used. The abstract nature of the communication is what will grab your attention to its importance, especially since it will be almost immediately clear to you what it means. It will be an Ah-Ha moment that you’ll be unable to shake.

Have you ever encountered a Dreamwalker in your dream?

Maybe you are a Dreamwalker. If so, have you worked in dreams with other aware dreamers or other-realm journeyers?

Significance of the Floor in Dreams

To determine a precise meaning to your dream where the floor comes through as a major symbol, consider its condition and how it reacts to your movement.

Is it scuffed up or polished?

Does it bend or sink with your weight or is it solid and strong?

Is it old or new?

Now apply these considerations to your understanding of your current life.

If the floor is old but strong, perhaps it is an indication of having a sure footing in life.

How are you interacting with the floor? Are you simply walking over it or are you sweeping/cleaning it? Does any other attribute stand out, such as the way it sounds as you move across it or the way it feels to the touch?

A floor is one of the first things we expect to see and interact directly with whenever we’re inside any house or building. This means it will often directly relate to your current level of vibrational alignment and areas of focus within your life experience.

Pay attention to levels in the floorscape, as this will provide a clue into what area of your life is brought into focus by the dream. A study of the chakra system can help you gain more insight into this, as can a study into psychology. Follow your preference and see how floor level plays into your dream analysis.

If your dream brings you to a floor that is not housed, but rather is outside, is it grounded or does it float (air, water…)? If so, is it moving? Where is your foundation taking you? Does this movement/experience make you feel confident or unsteady? Do you ever actually lose your balance or fall from the floor?

When analyzing the floor dream, keep in mind that it will always point to a base condition of life…it will ask you to pay attention to base desires, goals, attitudes, health, emotions, awareness, etc.

The Floor Dream

The floor in your dream represents your foundation in life, both physical and mental.
It can also give clues as to your spiritual alignment and emotional stability.

The floor is where you stand, it’s how you get through – from one place to another,
and it indicates what your underlying strengths, weaknesses, and fears are.

If the floor is an object of focus in your dream, you must consider its material and condition, as well as the number of levels and your interaction with it, in order to reach a full analysis.

Some questions that are helpful to consider:

What is the floor constructed of?

What condition is it in?

What features stand out?

How do you feel when walking across it?

Where is the floor – inside, outside, on the ground, raised, on water, in the air?

How does it sound, feel to the touch, or appear in contrast to its surroundings?

Is it level and sound in its structure or does it slant or otherwise appear / feel odd?

Interpreting a Dream Visit of Millipede or Centipede

Millipedes and Centipedes remind us to trust our higher perceptions and not be fooled by what we may see on the surface.

A visit from one of these creatures in your dreams may be a warning to not trust what is generally accepted as true about an issue, involvement, or person in your life.

It may also be a call to adjust and awaken your higher sensory awareness and to find your inner balance, so that you may create for yourself a more authentic life experience.

Dream Message of the Millipede or Centipede

Do not let fears prevent you from reaching for and achieving your goals.

Though you may experience setbacks and feel unsteady at times, if you work to increase your energetic balance, you will surely find your forward movement.

Some questions to help you better interpret this dream symbol:

What color is the centipede or millipede?
Is it normal in size or much larger or smaller?
In what ways does it interact with you or you with it?
Does it crawl on you?
Do you touch it?
What are you thinking when the interaction takes place?
Is it alive or dead?
Is there one or many?
Are you relaxed, happy, afraid, etc.?
Is there anything about it that appears far out of the ordinary?


~Shama

Has millipede or centipede ever visited you in your dreams? What were the circumstances of the encounter and how did it affect you?

To Dream

Just as the synchronistic spiraling of our own brains and sense organs echo the harmonic patterns of Nature, our dreamscapes are a reflection of our true being and self awareness. The study of dreams can help us to navigate our inner selves and outer world. ~ Shama Wohali
