This dream analysis is an excellent example of how to think about the images in our dreams, because too often we take the images literally and then they don’t seem to make any sense. But here the images show that they are portraying the nature of something, not the actual thing. So a muskrat shows an alertness, an ice cream bar talks about something that is frozen, and out of the frozen ice cream is a bug that can bite, but the bug persona manifests because of the dreamer’s resistance, or attitude, to the changes that will awaken. If there was no resistance, the bug could have appeared as a wrapped present instead. (At the end of this post there are instructions and a link to download this recording to your computer.)
Jeane: The only thing I remember about one of the dreams is that there was a muskrat in it, and the muskrat stood up on its hind legs and looked up, over like a cabinet or something. And that kind of shocked me, because I thought it was going to be a person and it was a muskrat. That was all I remembered from the earlier dreams.
Then the later dreams, because I seemed to just still be processing stuff about changes going on in life, but in the next dream I’m in some kind of a gathering, a party, something like that, and Ellen is there and he makes some comment that it’s like he wants us to break up.
It’s almost like he makes a comment like you and I should break up or, you know, you should be with someone else or something that kind of shocks me, but you don’t really pay attention to him. You just keep focused and there’s someplace we have to get, and that’s kind of more what you’re focused on, and I’m still trying to process that.
And I leave the party and I’m going over to a place that almost looks like an old fashioned castle-type building, and outside there there’s a man I used to know that’s pretty talented that’s singing and playing the guitar and being filmed. I haven’t seen him for a long time, so I’m kind of interested, but I’m in a hurry. I go by there. I cross the street. I go up to where everybody is gathering in this building.
I can look out the window and see him, but I seem to be like trying to meet people in the building, or getting together with this gathering. And sometime in the process of this gathering, this man who may have even been in a position of authority or something, he has like an ice cream bar and it had a bug in it. And when it releases this bug this bug flies around, and when it bites somebody it makes them pretty crazy or sick or something.
And he has sent a box of those bars with one of the bugs in it home with us. You take off your shirt so that the bug bites you instead of bites me, because I think the bug was supposed to bite me, but you take off your shirt so the bug will bite you. And I think I finally capture and kill the bug, but I’m not sure what to do.
And then Sharon comes to visit and she gets into the freezer and she gets out the candy bars, and there’s three ice cream bars left, but I mention that there might be bugs in them, and if we eat them we have to have a way of killing the bugs.
All of the dreams were kind of like that. They were just a little crazy.
John: Well, what’s going on is everything is in the process of shifting, and the tone of the shift was actually exemplified as a startling alertness, or awakening, or a paying attention to when the muskrat… just think of how that is with the muskrat. They have a part of themselves that is super alert, observing the changes that’s happening around them in their environment. They stick their head up, they look around, but then they duck down.
They immediately duck down because they short out. In other words, they’re hypersensitive to notice those changes, but they’re not prepared to handle too big of a shift. And so they can’t help but poke their head up to see something that’s changing, but at the same time, they then react and duck down and go back into hiding.
So that’s the energetic that tweaks the whole process of what you were dreaming, and then what you were dreaming were all kinds of things that had to do with shifts that are happening that are affecting your demeanor. So it starts off as if you’re having to denote that something could change in the way that you function, relationship-wise, in the outer, and so that is done in order to tweak the reaction. And the reaction is there to show how one conducts themselves when something changes, or shifts.
In other words, go all the way back to the muskrat that sticks its head up, sticks its head up out of an alertness, out of a sharpness, out of a quickness to denote something is afoot. But then it ducks back down because it’s not prepared to handle any change in its environment. And it goes back into its muskrat hole or whatever it might be, but it can’t help itself. It periodically has to peek.
The key here is: can it accept the changes that are happening? The key is, on an energetic level, can one accept the changes that are happening? And the changes that are happening are periodic, and the changes that are happening are something that you have to learn to flow with. If you don’t flow with it you get grumpy, or uptight about it, or fight the issue, whatever the issues might be that are coming down in life.
And so your whole dreaming is going from one sequence to another sequence of things that have to do with the changes that are happening, that are meant to happen, because things have been pent up or frozen for too long. And so you go to something that has a bug that can bite – and are you open to that? And you only have to contend with this bug if you’re around something that’s frozen, an ice cream bar. And somehow or another there’s something about the ice cream bar in which there is a fly or a bug that can fly around and can bite you – and if it bites you it causes a problem.
And so you want to stay unconscious to that, and so you pass that off to something else, in other words, you push that away from yourself, or it becomes something that I have to contend with. But then, of course, you’re still aware of it, you did see it like the muskrat that stuck its head up and did see something changing in its environment.
So when the issue comes up again, this time it’s Sharon going into the ice cream bars, in the freezer, and you have to warn her about there is this potential bug that can fly around, that can do some sort of change, or shift, or alter your frame of reference if you’re not careful.
This is the schematic of the dreaming. The schematic of the dreaming is that there is a shift. There’s a bunch of shifted things that are taking place, and that one has to be at ease with whatever it is that changes in the transitory outer. In other words, the outer can no longer have the appearance and the setness that one is accustomed to seeing it as having, because that is something that we have factored in as part of our mental design, that continues to keep a setness in life, of which that setness is something that no longer is fluid enough in terms of how a beingness needs to be.
So your dream is indicating that something has to come out of a condition that is frozen, or there has to be a greater fluidity in terms of the overall. That’s when the peeking around is aware that there are things that can break through and affect your consciousness, or change the reality that you are used to keeping yourself trapped into.
In other words, in your case, you’re using the frozen ice cream bars to denote that there is an unconsciousness, and yet somehow in the unconsciousness if that was to come out, if something was to arise from a suppressed state like that, that it would affect the way it is that you’re able to conduct yourself. It could bite you. It can alter your reality.
