Dreaming Dreams I Dream When I Dreamt And Why I'll Never Let My Dead Mother Drive Me Anywhere Again!



Okay so all my friends know I have these really outrageous dreams.  Very lucid!  Very odd and Very real outrageous dreams.    Salvador Dali wishes he had dreams like mine!  *LOL*


But all kidding aside though, my most recent dreams were of me travelling with my mother (deceased by the way) in our old 1973 Chevy Impala.  Burgundy with a white vinyl top.  Still looking brand spanking new.   (see picture below)





At first I didn't recall any of the events that led up to me being in the car with my mother.  It wasn't until I put myself into a deep meditation that  I remembered anything said other than me screaming WATCH OUT!  What is up with all these damn dead squirrels???!   


Naturally, before meditating  I went on line in search of some sort of interpretation. I looked hi & lo for something--anything that would help me make sense of this new addition of odd dreams and give me a starting point.   Normally I'm really good with dream divination,  but I was having issues solving this one.    Guessing it was because I was so freaked out about the dead squirrels.   It was sick and disgusting!     At any rate,  after doing some in-depth research and meditating on the matter, the answer finally came.

My mother never liked me.   In fact, she despised me.  I know this because she told me so on numerous occasions.  I was too much like her mother and my father--two people she hated the most.  The very same two people she believed responsible for her misery.   

You see, Mother was never one to take responsibility for her self, her actions, words, and deeds.  Ever!  Somebody else was always to blame.       And that somebody usually was me!

During meditation, I allowed the entire dream sequence unfold in my waking state; it was then I began remembering it was my mother who had been running down the squirrels!  I'll spare you the gory details.  But trust me when I say... YECCCHHH!!!!!

It wasn't until after further contemplation of the dream that it occurred to me that mother was actually trying to warn me of something.   

Common Definition of Squirrels in your Dreams:


To see a squirrel in your dream indicates that you are involved in a loveless, pointless relationship or an unprofitable business project. You are pursuing empty and fruitless endeavors. Alternatively, seeing a squirrel in your dream suggests that you are hoarding something. You are holding on to too much and need to learn to let go. On the other hand, a squirrel means that you need to reserve your time and energy.

To dream that you are trying to run over squirrels with a lawn mower suggest that you are trying to change your beliefs and alter your ideas in order to conform to others. You are looking for some form of acceptance.

My mother really lived this interpretation.     During the course of her long life, she was involved in numerous loveless and pointless relationships; as well as unprofitable business projects.  She was a hoarder on many levels.    She never learned to just let go!  Of anything!!!

Running over all those squirrels was her way of telling me stop trying to change who I am and what I believe  all in order to conform to others!  No one is ever accepted 100%.  So get over it and just be your Self!    hmm! This coming from a woman who never accepted me.  But the whole message rang so true and so loud I couldn't ignore it.    In fact, now that I've written it all down, I feel better--relieved--content.  Somehow whole!



*~*~*~*

Being a passenger in the car usually denotes someone else controlling your life.   In this case, it was mother's way of "driving her point across."


And too, with respect to the type of car she drove--well in life,  that was her pride and joy.  Mother really loved that damn car!  She really did!  Buying that car, driving that car...well let's just say it was one of the very few times I saw my mother sincerely and genuinely happy.   So it was only logical she show up driving that puppy!

In either event, I've made a solemn promise to myself that from this point forward, I'll just  do what I do during my awakened state--I'll either walk, call a cab, ride a bike or take the bus if I need to get anywhere in my dreams!!  

Excerpt from The ZEN of Duct Tape:  An Empress Is Born!



*~*~*~*~*


SPECIAL NOTE FROM JULIA:    The best, and no doubt the most accurate, interpretation of your dreams comes from doing it your self.  Taking the time to reflect, ponder and analyze not just the dream itself, but the feelings it brings, the events in your awakened state that transpired and/or are transpiring, etc.   All this lends to the truth behind your dreams.


Yea, checking out the definitions are fun and entertaining.  But if you want a deeper meaning, you'll need to dig a little deeper and go the extra mile to uncover what it all really means for you!


Until Next Time...

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

    Selling Out or Just Marketing? Epilogue

    While I am all for generating a nice income that maintains a nice comfortable financially secured life-style, I draw the line when it comes to just putting crap  out there all to make a fast buck.   

    Let's face it. Some people are just out right sell outs.  Greedy little sell outs.

    But there are some people who are sell outs and don't even know it.  

    And then again,  there are those  people who are sellouts, but they just don't give a rat's ass.  And they're always ready to defend their slimy sell out ways with artful and skillful spin doctoring.


    Me and Tracci (Shy Owl) were talking about this very topic  the other night. She remarked that the difference between well meaning people and actual sell outs is their intention.  And she's absolutely right!  Your genuine and sincere Intention, and I will add here--your goals, makes all the difference between being an asset and being an ass!


    So which one are you?  How the hell can you tell if you are?  Well that all depends.  What is your reason for reaching the masses?  Be honest with your self.   Trust me.  The true reason will show itself sooner or later.  It always does!

    Is your intention to help others?  Is it really?  Or is your intention is to sell as many books,  obtain as many "warm bodies" on your Social Networks and/or get as many listeners/viewers as you can?  Be honest with YOUR self!      Remember... sooner or later, the truth of your intentions will come out to play!  It always does!



    *~*~*~*~*~*

    Because there is so much information I wish to impart, I will be breaking this topic up in several parts.    

    I hope you'll join me over the next several weeks as we journey into the subject of Selling Out or Just Marketing.  Oh and feel free to Chime in!  I really enjoy feedback.  Just keep it honest...and clean!  

    Until Then...

    Smile!  It makes people wonder what you're up to!

      Your Spiritual Awakening/Ascension/Transition: PERSONAL NOTE FROM JULIA

      RULE OF THUMB:   You don't call an electrician when you need your busted pipes fixed!  And you don't go to a psychic reader when you have a medical and/or mental, emotional health issue.  You also don't go to a psychic reader for legal advice either.  Major no-no's!



      *~*~*~*

      First of all, I am not a medical professional nor do I claim to be.    I do not nor have I nor will I ever provide a medical diagnosis.  The only thing medical I will ever say to you is ... 


      SEE AN ACTUAL DOCTOR!  ASK YOUR DOCTOR!  

      Or...

      you Might wanna CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR!


      Along with the above-mentioned advice, I will always add...TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR-SELF!  Or something along that line.  



      *~*~*~*~*~*

      Unless they are a trained and licensed medical professional, Any psychic reader,  spiritual healer and/or practitioner who gives you medical advice should be reported to the proper authorities IMMEDIATELY!



      *~*~*

      I cannot stress enough the importance of taking responsibility for YOUR Self!  Nor can I urge you enough or strongly enough to seek FIRST trusted medical and/or mental health professional before seeking and/or putting into practice any type of holistic ritual.




      If you have actual medical maladies, go to an ACTUAL DOCTOR!  And yes, I realize it is costly, as well as time consuming,  but get several different opinions if necessary; and as needed!  

      Do all you know to do by conventional means before heading out to psychic reader-medium, channeler,  sooth sayer, holistic practitioner, Reiki healer, etc.

      Any legitimate healer, psychic or otherwise, will tell you exactly what I am telling you here and now.  If they aren't advising you to seek conventional methods first...then RUN, not walk, but RUN to the nearest exit!    If anyone is claiming you don't need a doctor, that they can heal you through some spirit or such.  RUN to the nearest exit, call the authorities!  Stay clear of these frauds!

      If they claim you have a curse and that is why you're sick, suffering from this, that or the other thing.   And for a nice amount of money, they can get rid of the curse and heal you of whatever illness that said curse caused.


      RUN to the nearest exit! 
       Call the authorities!  
      DO NOT DELAY!


      ~*~*~*~

      While I am a firm believer that we can heal ourselves, I am also under the belief  that once it is manifested physically, it takes more than "thinking positively" to remove that energy.   

      Keep in mind too,  Energy Healers only assist your natural abilities to heal.  They DO NOT Heal YOU!    And the assistance they provide is only providing a temporary relief.     

      While there are those who might actually assist you in removing it altogether...the odds of you being 100% cured of any physical manifestation while still holding on to the same beliefs are extraordinarily high.   We're talking nil to none!

      The only way you can remove the energies that has created and manifested physical ailments is TAKING RESPONSIBILITY for YOUR Self!  And you this by learning to work through the beliefs that got you into the physical manifestations of dis-ease  in the first damn place!   And too,  it may actually entail going to a conventional doctor and using conventional methods in addition and/or in connection with your spiritual healing.   

      Whatever methods you use, taking Responsibility for YOUR Self is  priority  ONE for   EVERYONE!  Including any healer.   And anyone desiring to be healed!



      *~*~*~*~*

       It has taken generations, many life times, to get where we are now.  Both in mind and spirit.  So it goes without saying that it may take a good long while--even a  few life times--before we finally give up the bullshit of hurting ourselves and each other.



      *~*~*~*~*


      I've been consciously going through the Ascension process for too many years to even count, and the one all encompassing truth I have gleaned from those years is our Awakening  ALL boils down to...

      Taking Responsibility for Your SELF


      THIS is the Number 1 part of Your Spiritual Awakening/Ascension/Transitional process.

      The sooner you accept, acknowledge and embrace this fact--the easier your transition will be!

      Take it from someone who's been there (many times)!  Did that (many, many times)!  And has actually moved on a bit!  (a wee bit! *LOL*)

      Embrace ALL That You Are!
      For YOU are ALL That There Is!
