I love interpreting my dreams! It's kind of like a hobby for me. I have had several reoccurring dreams, for as long as I can remember, involving tornadoes, public bathrooms, losing my teeth, and choking, just to name a few. I know the meaning of each one by heart, and always know when one of them greets me in dream land, to be a little more aware of the things taking place in my waking life.
But, last night's dream was a first for me. I was walking through a tunnel, underneath a busy highway. On the wall, beautiful graffiti adorned the dull, grey concrete:
This is as similar as I could find to what I saw in my dream. The only differences, were that the lettering was arched over the diamond, instead of through it, and the colors were absolutely beautiful, the artist used a wonderful Mother of Pearl type paint to create their masterpiece. Even in the grey darkness of that damp tunnel, the multi-faceted colors shimmered and changed as I walked past.
If anyone out there reading this, knows anything about me, they know that I definitely do not listen to the 'pop' music where this message came from, so it was pretty easy to deduct day residue from my reason bank lol! But, the young Hispanic girl from my dream did. She was the artist behind the hidden message.

What does it mean though??
One of my 'Go-to' sites for dream interpretation is: Dream Moods
Their meanings are very thorough, and usually very spot-on to what is usually taking place in my waking life. Below, is my interpretation:
Mother Of Pearl
To see or wear mother of pearl in your dream symbolizes renewal, birth and fertility. Alternatively, the dream is telling you to be more focused on your tasks or goals.

Diamond
To see diamonds in your dream signify the wholeness of the Self. You may be finding clarity in matters that have been clouding you. Alternatively, it represents vanity, conceit, and your unchanging or unyielding nature. You may be distancing yourself from others.

To see a diamond shape in
your dream symbolizes the many directions that you can take in life. You
need to evaluate your goals and how you are going to achieve them.
*note: The full interpretation of each symbol will most likely not be completely relevant to your individual dream. The pieces I pulled from the symbol definitions were specific to my dream, and my experience alone. That is one of the best features of the Dream Moods site. It allows you to pick the parts of your dream, the parts that truly speak to you, and piece them together, based on YOUR individual dream.
Piecing the little slivers of a dream together is the best part. How does it fit into my real-life situations? Based on my recent struggles, I would say my job is most definitely on the top of my stress list. And, based on this little personal oracle reading, I have most DEFINITELY got to take some quiet time for myself, so that I can clear my mind and see the bigger picture. The diamond shape in general is telling me to look at the many different paths my life is fixing to take. More supervisory growth at work, with the new responsibilities of becoming a soon-to-be-bride. I would say my paths are many these days, and yet all inter-connected. Meditation will be my stress-relief and saviour in the upcoming months.
Why do we dream??
Our minds use that time to rest as well, after all, it is our most used muscle! During our REM sleep, however, a unique piece of our mind is relaxed and opened, letting sub-conscious thoughts take control, allowing us to work through problems that, during our waking-self, get shoved further down, into the sub-conscious. (Out of sight, out of mind ring a bell?) With the "in the moment" living we do while awake, it is very easy for our true thoughts and feelings to get put on the back burner, so to speak, as we push on through our day, telling ourselves you will worry about that later.
But, once we have entered a deep and relaxed REM state, those 'forgotten' thoughts and feelings manage to work their way back to the front of the stove, showing us little reel clips of what we are TRULY meant to be focusing on. Helping us to work through things that maybe we aren't even strong enough to handle in our waking world, or possible situations that need attention, that maybe we didn't even realize were bothering us. Showing us different angles and ideas, in abstract ways, what we wouldn't, or couldn't have even thought about otherwise.
Remembering your dreams
The BEST way to remember any dream is to write it down!! Whether it wakes you up at 3AM or you suddenly remember it in the middle of the day. WRITE IT DOWN!! Start with baby steps if you can't really remember all of your dream(have I mentioned the mind is a muscle, it has to be exercised like one!). Simple one or two word descriptions, like ' red bike' or 'childhood neighborhood', are the very first steps to remembering more and more pieces to your puzzle. Before long your journal entry will look like a short story! Focus on items, colors, locations, and even smells. You may find that the actual dream itself has absolutely NOTHING to do with the SYMBOLISM of the dream. Confused yet? lol, let me try to explain--
When I have my tornado dreams, I usually don't pay very much attention to what's going on in the dream. The fact that there is 1 tornado, or 5 horrifying tornadoes spinning towards me, the message is still crystal clear: A great change is coming my way, very soon(my last tornado dream was right before my promotion, and the one before that, I found out I was pregnant...think BIG change!). Sometimes it directly effects the people in the dream, sometimes not. The main character is always the tornado.
I will leave you with that to chew on for a bit. Mainly because I am up way past my bedtime, and I haven't even gotten to the best part yet--
PROPHETIC DREAMS
