The 2nd dream of my father came much later.

Around the year 2002, I dreamt of him, and visiting him, in the astral realms in my dream.

 

When I entered "his house" (his state of consciousness), I saw immediately there was a fire on the stove

 

I walked over to the boiling pot, (a metaphor)or pun/

and turned it off saying to him,

 

 

He looked very old, and confused but he knew what I was saying was true.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I told my sister of this dream, before our parting, and she thought it quite appropriate too...saying "Yeah- he almost did!!" (meaning he almost destroyed us all.....when he lived)

 

 

 

 

you know my dad has also appeared in my dreams, usually as a symbol of responsibility? i think?

 

recently had one dream about how in was in the house i grew up in and my father went away leaving me to look after the house. i went into the garden and noticed the shed had been vandalised ,(this has happened in real life over the last year at our current home) then when i looked around some more the garage had also been broken into. and then looking to the house....the dining room window (overlooking the garden) had been broken into and boarded up.i felt really unsafe and i woke from the dream feeling incredibly scared and threatened.

wasnt a nice dream.

 

i thought maybe my father represented responsibility ,certainly in this dream and went he left,hell broke loose. so maybe the responsible part of myself was lacking in my real life while i had this dream.

i think its very subjective too, based upon how people view their fathers,some people look to their fathers for support and inspiration and confidence.ive certainly never been able to look to my father that way as he has never been able to offer that.i always see him as someone who points out ,duties obligations and responsibilites that need to be adhered to in life.

And for me, my life was the opposite....as I was the mature one, who looked after both parents and had more of the common sense then, but a lot of responsibility and it wasn't fun, nor normal for a kid to be put in this position....

 

Maybe that's why I had the one dream, whereby, I came into his space, his kitchen (in the afterlife), and was again, being the one to tell him, "he could have burned the house down", as I turned off the stove's burner

In the "larger" picture, I think we all are "archetypes" and each plays a role, for this in our so called "real" life.

 

The mother role the father role, even our roles, are just that, "Role playing" and archetypes for Saturn (responsibility), Moon (feelings,maternally) Sun (authority in our lives), etc.

 

After this life is shed, we remain with what we've integrated, and the roles aren't necessary (over there)......

 

maybe then in your eyes it has switched around the other way?

 

interesting the part about fire,and burning down the house, fire cn sometimes mean anger,thats how ive often seen it, sometimes ive had dreams of lava,which i took as perhaps meaning my own feelings of anger were slowly bubbling away under the surface.

THANKS PAUL< you are correct, Fire is anger......and I wasn't pleased with his behavior, and I let him know this in the dream.

 

I still don't wish him anything other then the best however, as I think we continue to learn & grow on the other side, (just slower then, ) without contrasts that the dual world offers us.

 

I believe he HAS grown & evolved as a soul, and perhaps the dream I originally posted (the ltitle I   could recall) is saying this, he is still "going over" and trying to integrate then........

 

All the best.

I dreamed of my dad too, July 22, 2007.  I had to go to court for a speeding ticket the next day.  Dad. a dead lawyer, appeared to me in a dream, saying, "It's all right, honey.  I will always take care of you.  He had a black U-haul he was pulling, and it was full of dolls.  He said, "You see, everything is for you."  I am a doll collector,.

 

I was acquitted of the speeding ticket the next day.
