Now I have a dream q!

Okay, I need some help now with a dream I had the night before last, and it frightened the bejeezus out of me, mainly because I don't normally dream these kind of things.
I don't recall many details except three; cuddling Steph, but remember that I didn't 'feel' much, like I was giving her a hug, but it was just her body, there was no feeling coming back, iykwim (I dunno if that was just cos it was a dream and so there was no real hug anyway?). Then, (and I *think* it was after the hug) that Steph had died, and then that I died a day later.

I know death in dreams doesn't usually mean a death is imminent, but more usually a transition. When I have 'decoded' dreams for others (like here on BB), I post what and any thoughts that come to mind. Unfortunately for my own it seems a bit more difficult, and for one like this I was hoping to get some other ideas please.

Responding to a dream like this is difficult too, because of our own fears etc, I have had dreams about my loved ones dying and been absolutely distraught afterwards, possibly tapping into grief and loss I've had over other losses in significant relationships in my life.

So, I think if you want to work with this dream to find meaning, there are a few things you could do. You could "revisit" the dream in meditation, to see what other details/symbols come up, that shed light on the parts that you do remember. Or you could sit with what you remember and really feel the feelings that come up for you...how did you feel about that hug? about dying? How you felt in the dream ... and what part of your life do these feelings resonate with in the present.

But the real intuitive pull I feel around this dream is the possibility that it's a window into a past life that you may have shared previously. This is because in my own experiences of regressing into past lives, the regression always ends with my own death in that life time, it's a very particular experience of leaving your body behind, and this feels similar to the energy around your description of when you died a day later in the dream, kwim?

GRRR! My window just closed and I lost my reply!!!!! Try again....

I may try to revisit the dream in meditation. I have trouble getting 'into' meditation. I didn't feel great about the hug, I thought it was strange because of the lack of feeling. I was worried about dying I think, because of who I would leave behind. I am sure that I was worried about leaving Steph behind, and that I didn't find out she had gone until after I had died (so I was in the afterlife, it was a strange place/feeling, quite indescribable) or just before. At a guess, the dream resonates the most with my light journey (after I initially thought, "OMG, accident"), and I know that Steph is also gifted (I think I was told she is a Crystal child).

I haven't really delved into my past lives (except for what i have been told, I posted it in the support thread), but it sounds like a possibility. That may have been the odd feeling I had (my death). I think I know what you mean. It's something I definitely have to find out more about. Thanks again Marydean, I really appreciate it.

Just another thought...going on the idea that death means change for this life...

Have you noticed your DD has changed recently, or perhaps had one of those 'suddenly grown up' spurts?

I ask because to me it was almost like the 'baby' you thought you were holding, was no longer a baby, or what you thought was your baby... itms? And then your own death shortly after might be a signal for your own inevitable change to bring about a new phase for both of you?

Does that make any kind of sense?

All makes perfect sense Arcadia. I hadn't thought the grown up thing, but that could be it. She has always stunned me with what she knows and all that.
