Whenever you see The Moon,the dream itself in the dream samples found on the right hand side of all the pages in the dictionary follows. We typically dream when the MOON is out and about. MOON consciousness is when something in the unseen world is felt, envisioned and known outside the normal parameters of logical assessment. Erich’s MOON mask features the face of the MOON herself in the centre. Brilliant in its yellow and gold glory. The serious expression on the MOON mask honours the serious business of listening to another person’s dream with respect, and open minded acceptance. The MOON eyes are wide open and therefore fearlessly receptive to all. The four hands around the MOON signify the four directions, four seasons, and the stabilizing influence of the MOON herself.

Interpretation

This piece denotes the interpretive work the dreamer did looking up their dream elements in the Dream Dictionary. Any amount of effort you invest in understanding your dream will result in a transformation in your character and maturity. Erich’s art form shows a child carved at the bottom, innocent and childlike – very much like our unconscious. As the child goes through the wisdom-making experiences of life represented by the raven, they mature into the elder you see at the top of the mask. Our dream lives are a whole other level of experience quite apart and yet connected to our waking lives. By integrating the learning you’ve gained through dreamwork into your waking consciousness you expand and alter your life’s destiny. The elder you become is not the one you will become without dream understanding

.

RESPONSE / ACTION

Erich’s beak represents the elevating and spiritual process which is triggered when you take action based upon an insight gained from a dream message. Taking action amps your experience and dream knowledge to a whole new level. The raven’s beak is raised skyward representing the process of elevating your relationship to your dream life into the actions you take in your waking life.

REFLECTION

This art piece shows two creatures sitting across from each other smoking a pipe. They are talking across a camp fire. In dream reflection we sit down with ourselves or a group to discuss our dreams and their messages in an atmosphere of peace, respect and presence. As you attend to your own or another’s dream message and reflect on its meaning, be attentive, focused and in the present moment. The red of the figures in Erich’s art piece exemplify the passion of connection right to the cellular level when you move with consciousness through a dreamscape in tandem with yourself and/or another.

DREAM WISDOM

Dreams That Come True
Many people have had a dream and then experienced a waking life incident involving the same characters, or action or feelings, sometimes years, months, or only a few days later. We are able to perceive more in dreams than we can with our waking consciousness because dreams are not bound by time, as are our waking lives. In a dream, it is as if you are standing on the top of a tall building at the corner. From there, you see the past (people coming to the corner), the present (those at the corner) and the future (people who have passed the corner and those coming from that future direction to the corner). There is much information stored in the unconscious which can be reordered and reworked by our dreaming mind.
Our dreams may warn us with symbols, or very directly, as in the above dream. Any prophecy indicates a probable future and is not “written in stone”. It may be possible to change the outcome by present action. Such a dream could also be preparing you emotionally for some future occurrence. Thank your dream self for the information, and if you want to change the possible future prophesied by your dreams, take direction from the information it has provided to you. You could also ask your dream self for a further dream for more clarification.
