I keep having this dream that my mother is still alive. She apparently “faked” her death b/c she hooked up with a man that didn’t want her to have anything to do with her children. Finally, after his abuse she returns to me and my 2 brothers and tells us what has really happened. All too soon she and her “man” make up and she leaves again, only to return again when they have another fight. This continually goes on and we finally tell her that if she chooses to stay with this man that it is her decision, but to please not cut us out of her life. She refuses and keeps leaving and coming back.

She died instantly in a car accident 10 1/2 years ago. My brothers and I felt so abandoned, b/c she was the epitome of the perfect mother. She was sooo wonderful and we miss her dearly. Any suggestions of what my dreams might mean? Thanks, Kari

Lucid’s Thoughts:
Hello Kari thank you for writing in!
10 & ½ years can feel like an eternity when you miss someone who was dear to you. The mind has many ways of trying to cope with the loss and confusion. It will sometimes do strange things, and dreaming of scenarios are just one of the ways it tries to deal.

Seeing your mother alive, and having her come and go out of your life could be your wishful thinking. Our mind, no matter how long, tends to stay in a slight state of denial, therefore it comes up with ways of possibilities. Faking her death would mean there is hope that she really is still alive, and that she may even come back. The boyfriend’s role is the optical that is keeping her from you. His role is to assure she does not “stay ” which is the minds way of saying, she most likely won’t be back…., not the way you would like her; full time! He gives reasons and excuses as to why she is not staying.

Try to control your dreams. Plan to have a straight forward visit with mom. Before going to sleep at night, try telling her you would like a peaceful visit with her. She may have already tried to visit you, but your mind & spirit want her to stay so bad, the environment becomes chaotic and confused.

Give it a few tries… I do this with my dad when I get to missing him. Sometimes I have to put in more then one request and I have been doing it for years!

God luck and have a wonderful day!

It wasn’t always easy for me to share my dreams with my husband, especially in the beginning of our relationship. But, this one particular morning, the dream was about him. At the time he drove an orange 1976 Oldsmobile. Actually, it was more like a boat. He loved this car. He had it custom painted, then airbrushed his favorite baseball team on the hood and doors. It wasn’t hard to miss him when he drove around town.

Anyway, in my dream my husband had left for work. I went outside to wait for my own ride. I was picked up by what seemed to be a limousine. We were traveling down the highway when the driver suddenly stopped in the middle of the road. And immediately got out of the car. I was confused, so I too got out of the car. There was a large crowd of people which made it hard to see what all the commotion was about.

I began to work my way to the front of the line where everyone gathered in a half circle. I saw a small blue car that was so smashed; it hardly looked like an automobile. It looked more like a crushed soda can.

I took notice to how all the people were looking down towards the ground. I wanted to see what they were looking at. That’s when I saw the body. An accident had occurred just before we arrived. The driver of the blue car was on the floor dead. I turned my head to see what other car was involved. It was my husbands’ car, it was the one that caused the accident. I took a deep breath and screamed as hard as I possibly could.

I opened my eyes and sat straight up in the bed .I looked over at my husband to see if he was still home. I didn’t feel right. The dream carried over with me. The fear I felt in my dream carried over as I awoke.

I waited for him to get up for work and proceeded to tell him about my dream. I asked him to please drive carefully and pay full attention. He said ok, but he took it lightly. He didn’t really believe in any kind of paranormal.

Later that morning he called me from work. I asked him how his day was going and he told me he was almost in an accident. Of course I freaked out and had a million questions. Apparently he was on his way to work when he lost his brakes pulling into the parking lot. I definitely feel that we were warned. Thank God he didn’t go to any stores and went straight to the job. Who knows what would have happened if he lost his breaks two minutes earlier on the highway!

I know I have said this before, but when I meditate I become free! There is nothing like letting your mind go where ever it wants to go; I can go, or be whatever I want.

Most of my meditations are the ones where I journey. I do sit and clear my thoughts sometimes, but for the most part I am gone.

I began meditating one evening to one of my songs. I was riding on a horse that slowly picked up its speed to a trot. It was like I was stepping out of the darkness of my mind.

As we went, the view broadened. I saw the open land which resembled a prairie. There were big beautiful green trees. A light breeze was blowing. I could hear the sound of the branches and leaves as they danced with the wind. It was as if they were whispering to each other; like they knew I was there.

The sun was shinning brightly. It was so bright, I felt like I almost wanted to shade my eyes. I could almost feel the warmth on my face, as I looked up to the tree tops.

While I was admiring how tall the trees were I saw an eagle. I watched as it soared in one big circle. I wondered what it would be like to be able to spread my wings and fly; nothing to hold me back, just go with the flow of the wind.

I often see and hear nature in my meditations. I feel a certain connection to the animals that present themselves to me on my journeys. From time to time, I will even become those animals.

It is such a great way to relax and be free. I love it!
