Hi, dear readers!
"A dream which is not interpreted is like a letter which
is not read." -The Talmud
Dream interpretation is popular subject across the board
so I thought I'd address a couple of questions/comments
sent in recently by some of our readers. Dreams have many
functions, and one of the most fascinating is that they
are windows to the paranormal and mystical realms. Of
course, they can also be great tools for self-discovery
and healing. I dream journal on a daily basis, and although
this is time-consuming, it is crucial to do if you wish to
delve in depth into dream study. For me, it is my 'personal
time' - I make sure I am the first one up every morning,
and over my morning coffee, I write down all my dreams and
thoughts, and then I try to make sense out of the jumble.
(Just this morning I woke up from a dream thinking about a
dear lady who had passed away some time ago and the feeling
she left with me was so strong that I dug out her death
announcement. I wasn't at all surprised to see that today
was the 2nd anniversary of her funeral).
I always think of dreams as being many-layered, like onions
- and if you want to peel away all those layers, it does
take some time and doing. Dreams can be literal or symbolic
or both. Often, our subconscious uses current events and
thoughts in our lives as a backdrop or as a reference
point, while sometimes current issues are only brought up
to view one more time before they go to the 'recycling
bin'. It's not always easy to ascertain why the dreaming
mind brings forward many of the scenes and symbols it does
but when we keep a dream journal, we can begin to identify
any patterns that are there over the course of days, weeks
or even years.
Dream dictionaries are useful as a starting point to dream
interpretation and as a reference to universal symbols and
archetypes, but more often than not, our dreams will be
filled with symbols that are personal to us. Dream
interpretation is an art, not a science, and can certainly
help us in our spiritual growth as well as developing our
psychic senses. In the dream state, we not only receive
messages from our own subconscious but we also receive
messages from the spirit realms, when our egos and
conscious minds are on 'off' so that the channels of
communication are unhindered. The dream state is a time
when we may be more open to telepathic communication and
of course, many people receive psychic information in
dreams, either personal messages or larger predictions
and prophecies.
"Dreams say what they mean, but they don't say it in
daytime language." - Gail Godwin
Recently, a reader named El wrote asking, "Why do I dream
names? I do not recognize them and have no idea why it
happens. One of the first names was Connie MacViolet.
Then there was Fideladoon, and a dog named Normie and
the list grows. I went to Google with some of the
names, but they came up blank, so there is no connection.
Another reader named Steve responded, "This has happened
to me and usually the names will make sense at some time
in the future. Unfortunately there is not set time
period that this occurs (at least for me). The wait can
be anywhere from 1 year to 8 years, does this happen to
any of your other readers? I also have dreams of situations
that will occur in the future, they really have no great
importance, just the fact that I can remember what is
going to happen next."

PEER INSIDE THE MIND OF A MADMAN...
Chilling, gripping and disturbing!
One of history's most notorious madmen was the Nazi propa-
gandist Joseph Goebbels. Now, on DVD for the first time
comes this chilling look into the mind of the man who mes-
merized a nation. He was one of Hitler's supreme henchmen
and he kept a meticulous diary. Kenneth Branagh provides the
narration of Goebbels' diaries that are interwoven with rare
archival footage that has have never been seen... until now.

------------------------------------------------------------
I agree that it can sometimes take a very long time for a
dream message to become clear or a prediction to be proven
correct, which to me just goes to prove that our linear
concept of time is so very limited and limiting. Dreams
that predict seemingly inconsequential events that unfold
in the future, to me, are often just nudges that remind
of us of our sixth sense.
When words or names appear in our dreams that do not relate
to anything or anyone obvious, consider the fact that the
dreaming mind most often speaks in metaphors and even in
puns. Dreaming of someone named Fairway may mean doing
something justly, or being treated in a fair way. Of
course, it might also mean you have been wanting to go
golfing for a while:>) In El's case, the dog named Normie
might mean a friend (as dogs symbolize loyalty and are pack
animals) who is acting in a normal or predictable way, or
it could mean something she is being left out of if the
word is broken up into syllables, i.e. nor me. Taking the
name Connie MacViolet, we can consider the fact that Connie
is short for Constance - faithfulness. Violet (the flower)
can symbolize shyness - so perhaps this name is a reference
to someone who is a shy but steadfast friend. We can also
consider the colour violet. Violet is the colour of
creativity and it is a colour of high vibrational
frequency, the colour of the crown chakra and also is
associated with the Violet Flame of Transmutation. Any one
of these associations may give clues to help identify this
dream symbol's message.
The name Fideladoon also contains the word 'fidel' from
the Latin word faithful, so I see a definite trend in
El's dreams.
Another way to work with names and words that don't have
obvious significance is to make anagrams out of the
letters. The dreaming mind does work in mysterious ways!
Loriann write to ask: "I have very strange dreams and they
are always about toilets. The toilets are too dirty to use
or overflowing. Sometimes in my dream I wander from room
to room looking for a bathroom I can use. Have you ever
heard of this?"
As a dream symbol, toilets can represent the theme of
elimination, emotional venting and the need for release.
Searching for a toilet can represent the need or desire
to express yourself and care for your personal needs.
Finding only dirty or otherwise unusable toilets can
symbolize a sense of overwhelm in the dreamer's life.
Perhaps the dreamer puts her own needs last and therefore,
finds no place for her to express her own true self and
needs.
Sue asked about a recent nightmare. "I had a dream that
several people and myself were kidnapped and I saw us
all tied to a chair. My dog, Rocketman (minpin) was in
another room and they told me to shut him up and I told
them to just let him loose and he would come to me and
be quiet. Well, they didn't do it..and I heard a few more
barks and a shot and no more barking..I was screaming and
twisting and it was the most horrible thing for me to go
thru. Is there any significance in this? I told them
to kill me not him and then I woke up..but still have
this terrible feeling. And I do love this dog very much--
and ask him very often..'who are you?'"
There could be many possible explanations for this dream,
and I obviously can't analyze it definitively but perhaps
Sue could look at the dog's name, "rocket" and "man" and
see if there is a clue there. Also, because she loves
her dog so much, I would ask what else she holds very
dear that was being threatened on some level around the
time of the dream. It would probably be something that
involves other people, friends or a group of some kind,
because there were several people 'tied up' or unable to
act and when the dog barked (dog symbolizing a friend and
barking symbolizing speaking up), the friend was silenced
- and/or that which was very dear to Sue was 'killed off'.
I truly hope that these initial ideas will help Sue explore
the dream further so she can overcome the bad feelings
that undoubtedly remained afterwards. While the literal
interpretation of such a dream can't be totally discounted,
chances are that uncovering the metaphorical meanings of
the dream will bring insight and resolution.
Dreaming of oneself in anachronistic settings are often
past life memory fragments, and vivid dreams of departed
loved ones are considered by many to be actual spirit
encounters. Dreams seem to have no bounds and do not seem
to be limited to that which we know and recognize from
daily life, so truly they are "letters" worth reading!

Recent feedback from our readers:
Hi Zsuzsana;
In Feng Shui, the bed is not recommended to have the foot
facing the door as it is bad and may hasten death. By the
description given, it sounds like the position of the bed
may be directionally opposed to how the person should be
orienting their bed. For example, my bad direction is
east, so if I sleep with my head to the east I have
frightful and weird dreams. For me informative dreams are
north or west, south will produce dreams that can be
considered metaphysical. Perhaps they should also consult
Feng Shui practitioner.
Thanks for the in-depth metaphysical research!

*************************************************
This is a suggestion to Laura about her son.
She asked: He's asked for the plant not to be outside
of his room and asked that the African violets I had in
the bathroom be removed. Can you find an explanation for
this please?
My first thought was that he might have allergies. Some
plants seem to make my asthma worse. It took a while to
figure it out, but when I removed an Aloe plant from the
kitchen area, I immediately quit having breathing
difficulty every time I sat down to eat. Perhaps his
isn't as bad as mine and he merely feels uneasy because
it does bother his breathing a little. Does he have
other allergies as well? I have so many that I quit
trying to keep track of all of them and only avoid the
worst ones. Wouldn't hurt to check into it.
I really enjoyed today's newsletter and will be printing
most of it out for a friend of mine who is PC-less.
(She's 92 and I'm 75 years old - love my PC).
Thanks loads. You're the best!

Silver Eyes
I am sorry but, this information is coming to me for your
members, Donna.
The Seraphim Angels are the angels with the eyes, along
with wings, they move so fast that all we are allow to
see are their eyes and sometimes their wings.
The Seraphim fly around God throne and are called the love
of God, their color is fire like, silver, white living
fire. They are God's fiery love.
I have found several sources for some of this information,
my self being one of them the other night.
Revelation 4:8, Isaiah 6:13, Isaiah 6:2 and of course
Psalm 91:11.
Archangel Gabriel is also a Seraphim. Gabriel appeared to
Mary in the chapter of Luke. He is also the known for the
hope he brings also.
Peace and Love

Hi Zsuzsana,
Can you stand another story about apports? This goes back
to my teen years (over 20 years ago), back when Keds white
sneakers where popular in the early 80's. I had my
favorite pair, which I wore into the ground, but I loved
them so I wouldn't get rid of them. One day they
disappeared and I looked high and low, but couldn't find
them. A month later, I gave in and bought a new pair. A
few days later, what do you supposed showed up in the
closet, RIGHT NEXT TO THE NEW PAIR! Yup, the old ones! I
blamed it on the ghosts in my parents' house - they have
quite a few. They played the same trick the following year
with a letter I had received from a boy I really liked. I
read the letter, put it down to get a drink, came back to
read it, and it was gone. I was alone in the house at the
time. I ranted and raved, and scolded the ghost who took
it, demanding that they return the letter immediately. I
found it a few hours later in a schoolbook! Thanks for
letting me share.

Pennies From Heaven
For the last 6 years I've been finding pennies everywhere
- in my car,pockets and through my house.My dad died almost
2 years to the day before I found the first one but his
favorite saying was "find a penny and pick it up all day
long you'll have good luck." They stopped showing up about
2 years ago, then a couple months ago I had my MS flare-up
and almost everyday I find 1 or 2 pennies laying somewhere
that I know didn't have a penny there before. The favorite
place for him to put them is on the washing machine because
that's where I always put the change he left in his pockets
when I did his laundry for him. I think it's his way of
telling me he's still watching over me.
thanks,
Bob

Hi,
I just wanted to email you with some of my experiences.
In my old house, one of the strangest things that happened
was in my walk-in closet in my bedroom. I went in there to
get something, and there was a horrible smell, kind of
like rotting flesh. I was totally grossed out and went
downstairs to get my son to see if he smelled it. When he
came up to smell it, it was gone. In fact, it smelled kind
of flowery. In this same house my son had seen the spirit
of an old woman. It was night time and he had to use the
bathroom. He started to come out of his room, and stopped
cold because she was standing just a few feet from him. I
also had a spirit sit on the edge of my bed. I could feel
the pressure of the mattress going down. Also, on our last
night in that house, we were all sitting in the living
room (including our pets) when in my bedroom, which is
directly above the living room, we heard little footsteps
run across the bedroom floor. Each and every one of us
heard it.
Now in our new house, which is much more pleasant than
the old one, we have some activity but not as much. My
husband left our digital recorder that we use for
investigations recording in the family room overnight.
Then he fell asleep. When we listened to it the next day.
There was the voice of a child saying, "I'll get you."
We've had quite a few other voices recorded also.
One night when my husband and I were at a cemetery dating
back to the 1700's doing an investigation, our digital
voice recorder malfunctioned. We had put brand new
batteries in it. We started to do a recording and within
about 2 minutes the batteries died. Out of curiosity, we
got in the car and drove down the street to a parking lot.
We sat for less than five minutes and the recorder started
working again. We proceeded to go back to the cemetery and
do another recording. The batteries died again within
minutes. Once we left, we were about a quarter mile down
the road and the recorder started working again. We have
had plenty of good results in this particular cemetery. It
is known to be one of the most active in N.J. We've also
heard footsteps on the gravel that sounded as if they had
gotten close enough to touch us. When we looked, no one
was there. In the same area, we've also gotten a recording
of a voice saying, "This is a protected place, step back."
That one blew my mind. Another voice while were in the car
in this cemetery said, "Is anyone here." I could go on,
but I've taken enough of your time :)

Hi Zsuzsana,
In relation to Maria's tradition of a basket, my
experience, which is an old Irish tradition, is this;
Should you visit friends or family on New Year's Eve,
take with you, as a gift, a piece of coal and a loaf of
bread, which signifies that the family you are visiting
will not suffer from hunger or cold for the coming year.
Secondly, you LEAVE YOUR GIFT with those you visit.
As for the removal of the Christmas tree, traditionally
in England and Ireland, the tree is to be put up 12 days
before Christmas (December 13th) and removed 12 days
after Christmas (January 6th).
Sincerely,
Veronica

Hello Zsuzsana,
I enjoy reading your articles, however this is the first
time I have ever replied. The article on your experience
with your departed uncle struck a nerve with me. You see,
for approximately 3 years now I have had a spirit with me.
I have moved twice since I first saw him. He will show up
in unexpected places and at unexpected times (like while
I am driving). He never does anything to scare me - it's
more like he just simply lets me know he's there. I am 1/4
Native American and have had "dreams" since I was a small
child, but never something like this. At first I wondered
if I could be losing my mind. Even though I believe in
spirit communication strongly, that is one gift I had
never had. The only time I have ever been able to
communicate with him was on a day I was doing laundry and
I found him in the bathroom watching as I gathered things
to be washed. Thinking that I was going crazy, I walked to
the laundry room and thought to myself "if you are real,
give me a sign, so that I'll know I'm not crazy." Almost
instantly, I heard a sound from the bathroom, and I went
back to find a candle placed in front of the door tightly
against the wall. There was no way it had fallen because I
kept that particular one by the tub on the other side of
the room. I picked it up, placed it in its spot, and said
"Well now I know, and if you can live with me I can live
with you." Since that time, he has invaded the radio in my
old and new SUVs. If he doesn't like the song he will turn
the volume down and if I turn it up, he turns it off. He
also likes to play with the wipers. I have had everything
checked and nothing was found to be wrong with either
vehicle. I have been told that he may be an angel sent
to watch over me, but I get the feeling that he wants or
needs something from me. And as I said I have only
communicated with him that once and even though I talk
to him, out loud and to myself, I cannot do it again. If
anyone has any ideas to help me get through to him it
would be greatly appreciated.
She Who Dreams
**********************************************
Dear Zsuzsana,
After reading about that woman's recurring dream in the
last issue, I came up with my interpretation of that
dream. Since these dreams took place so soon after her
mother's death, I figure her mother's presence in her
dream, sitting in a chair with her head down, may mean
that she was unsure how her mother still fit into her
life. She could see her sitting there, but not her face.
When she finally spoke to her and asked her mother to
look at her, I believe that was her mother's spirit
acknowledging her daughter and telling her she was there.
So, even though her mother is no longer on the physical
plane, her spirit is still alive and with her daughter.
I hope this answers some of her questions.
Sincerely,
Meagan
