In the arc of these dreams we proceed from the fear of being kidnapped to a kidnapping that is for the best – in spite of appearances. But what is really unfolding is the attempt for the feminine aspects of the dreamer to let go of an inner oppression from the masculine – or the traditional way of things – and expand into the greater wholeness that is a characteristic of the feminine. And, while this is all happening on an inner level of an individual, it points out that certain possibilities require the role of the feminine in its fullness; i.e., both genders have specific roles in the way things can unfold. (At the end of this post there are instructions and a link to download this recording to your computer.)
Jeane: I had three or four little dreams. I don’t remember the detail as well, but the very first dream I seem to be in a Middle Eastern country. I’m out in a village somewhere, and it feels like I’m trying to find my way back – but you don’t know which people might be wanting to kidnap Americans, and which people might be friendly.
And it feels like I’m trying to sort that out so I can get back. I even want to offer one lady maybe my necklace or bracelet or something for helping me out, but you really can’t tell which people are going to guide you back and which people might be wanting to lead you astray. And that was the first dream.
John: The nature of the dreaming had to do with being confined, and your way of describing it is that of not knowing where to look, or how to turn, in order to contend with getting one’s self outside of a lost condition.
In other words, it’s like you feel the restriction. In other words, there is a restriction that predominates, but your response to that is one of not knowing how to respond, or what to do, to overcome.
Usually, in a dream, there is something in the process of the dream in which there is an ability to make a decision. In this dream, you’re acting as if conditions are such that there is nothing you can do to handle the scenario. So let’s see if you have any other solutions.
Jeane: In the next dream it feels like a time period after some conflict has happened. And another woman and I have been taking in women who didn’t have many means or anything, and we’ve been training them how to do some community work, maybe even go out and work with girls in the community to become like scout leaders and things like that.
And, having done that, we’re now looking at the group of women and seeing which ones we could select to be trained even further so that they could do more than that – although because of the nature of the world right then it might mean that they go on into the military or something, but maybe they could take on a different role in the community beyond what they thought they could do.
And we’re just trying to assess which women we think we can train, and how would we train them to do that, because we’ve trained them to do this first step now, there’s another step.
John: So, what you’re doing with the second dream, it’s like you’re building off of the first dream in which there isn’t any way out of a scenario, or predicament, that you’re in, that you can tell.
And in the second dream it’s as if the consequences of being like that are part of a design in which you are being trained, in which you are having to learn to understand something. And that in order to develop, to go forward, in this kind of understanding, what the second dream now describes to be a kind of training. So in order for that to happen you’re being trained.
Jeane: Okay, in the third dream, I’m in the city. I seem to be visiting my great niece. And she was married and they have a little girl, but the father’s mainly raising the little girl. And then they’ve separated, and she’s with her current husband, and they’re going to be moving away.
And during this time the father’s been raising the daughter, and I’m walking with her and she’s talking to me about she’s going to go get the little girl and take her with them when they move. I have mixed feelings about that because the father’s actually been the one raising her.
And when I walk with her up to a corner where we want to cross the street, suddenly I see that the stoplight has gone out and all this heavy machinery that’s doing road construction is whizzing by us and won’t stop because the light is switched. So I don’t know if we’re going to be able to cross the street.
John: So again it’s a progression in which, from the second dream, is an emerging sight of something having to be trained, or waking up, and it’s waking up in terms of understanding the role of an energetic in life. And it’s pointed out that that role is something that involves women, the feminine.
And, in the third dream, the implementing of something like this involves a change in terms of the way the unfoldment had been occurring, or going on. The unfoldment had been constricted to more of a masculine influence over creation, or over the feminine. And that is an image in which there is a sense of power and control that is dominating over that which needs to have a more receptive and inner overallness, a greater spatial orientation, awoken. And in this dream there is the realization that this needs to occur.
And the dream, however, is finding that to go from an orientation that’s more linear to an orientation that opens up more to the wholeness involves having to step out, or to expand, or to cross the street. And that’s where it’s left.
So, when you have a dream like this, you’re meant to be able to sit with that, and the dream doesn’t complete for a couple of reasons: 1) because there is still something going on in one’s nature that keeps that from happening, or 2) it’s already imputed, you already know the answer so there’s no reason for it to have to get into greater detail.
So I’m inclined to believe that it’s the second, that somehow or another you already know what is important in terms of what used to be in relationship to how it is that something is able to emerge or unfold. So that would mean that the detail in the dream is such that the end result effect of what is to emerge is in that process, vibrationally, is already revealed.
So in pondering the facts, first of all you’re finding yourself in a state or a condition in which there isn’t any hope or resolution, in terms of getting out of that condition, in other words the condition itself is overwhelming. And then you come to learn that there is a training, or there’s a sense that emerges inside of you of a training, and that training has to do with an aspect of something that has a feminine orientation about it.
So you’re talking about now being in a world in which, from a perspective of clarity you have no answer, but that process of repression is such that you are having to resort, for understanding purposes, even though to begin with you don’t necessarily know what it is that you need to understand, you’re having to resort for understanding purposes to the emergence of an awakening that aims towards a quality of training that is needed in order to awaken to more of a feminine understanding as a way of breaking out of the condition that you’re in – that has you blanked out from what to do.
And, in the third dream, this awakening is a kind of awakening that goes against the grain, in terms of how it is that things typically unfold, or proceed. Typically things proceed by way of an aspect that is able to come through and set off a motion that results in an awakening as a quality of inner into outer – which means that it has to arise from the inner.
The change has to arise from the inner in order for something to shift, or to become different, or to awaken. And in your dream you are indicating that this is very difficult to occur because your whole orientation has been under the guise of power and control of the masculine, that has kept things from opening up. And so in order for you to get out of an uneasiness, a delirium, that your first dream pointed out that you are in, and then in the second dream you had a sense of what needed to emerge that wasn’t there. In the third dream you are responding and saying that your condition is dire and helpless because you don’t have any background of how to be, other than the way something has been oriented upon you in a masculine motif way.
So you’re not able to go across the street, so to speak, or to expand your sensibilities in order to find in a spatiality something more that is possible. So it’s as if the masculine input of things has kept you restricted in such a way so that you can’t see the forest for the trees, which means you don’t have enough space in your nature in order to feel things out, or to feel things through.
So you’re actually describing something that adds another level of subtle awareness to how a process is in need of unfolding.
