June’s dream, age 12
Hey Natalia! I’m reporting a dream I had last night. I went outside of my house on my deck and there was a gray cloud that was getting higher, but it was really small and I jumped on it and flew a few feet in the air, then dropped. Then I grabbed some and it was solid — almost like cotton candy. Then I put it inside and when I went back out all of the clouds had lowered so much I couldn’t stand up all the way. It was like the whole atmosphere had lowered.
If I stuck my face above the clouds, it would freeze. That part happened a few times and then I woke up at 5:36am.
Interpretation
Hi June! This is a beautiful dream. It’s a dream about the tangibility of things you previously thought intangible. So, what that means is that you should aim higher with your imagination of what you want and what you think is the limit to what you can achieve. There is always more, and always another way.
This dream is asking you to break the limiting belief you have about something, so that you can see that it is actually possible to go further. Do more, be more, be better, heal. Open your imagination up. The sky is not the limit. There is no limit. Go beyond.
Peak your head above the limit you believe is there and see what it looks like above the atmosphere. Your subconscious is asking you to not believe in someone else’s limiting belief that something is out of reach for you. Because there wasn’t anyone in the dream besides you and the clouds, this limiting belief is most likely a societal or common cultural belief that is being imposed upon you indirectly.
Bring the clouds to you. Bring those limiting beliefs close for inspection like you did with the cloud. Feel what they feel like and see that they are not what you expected, just like the clouds.
This dream wants to show you the magic and unbound nature of the universe. You can stick
your head above the clouds, you can fly with the clouds, you can see beyond the atmosphere, if you so wish. It wants to show you that you can touch the clouds, keep a piece as a souvenir and keep going beyond. The dream is asking you to inspect these gray clouds that have come in around you. See what limiting belief they have trapped within, and then peak your head above. The dream beckons you to go farther as it sets the clouds down lower so that you may easily see above them; so that you may easily see that they are not the limit and there is a whole universe beyond that is open for your exploration.
The piece of the cloud you saved is a beautiful souvenir for you to always remember that what you previously thought was out of reach is not, and that you can easily grab it if you so wish. Know that you saved this understanding in your heart and mind by stowing away a piece of this cloud. Know that you can revisit this feeling with this stowed away piece anytime a limiting belief comes up. You can hold this piece of cotton-candy, gray cloud up for inspection and see that if you want to touch the clouds, you can. If you want to go beyond the sky, the atmosphere, you can.
Know and always remember, the sky is not the limit. The limit is only what we imagine it to be; let that be limitless.
