Stolen Car & Money

[4hobbes]

Good Morning:

Let's try this....I was dreaming that I was at a church and someone stole my purse. When I went out to get into my car, it was gone too. I found my car down the street from the church, parked on the side of the road with the engine still running. My purse was in the car but my wallet was gone including my credit cards/bank cards. Also I had taken cash out of the bank and it had been in the purse to but was gone. I was upset that my family pictures were gone but after looking around I found them.

The church wasn't one that I was familiar with but the location was.

Does this make any sense to anyone?

thx

Hi,
Thief is interpreted as someone who fights the people.
If one dreamt he was a robber and robbed a plenty of money means he will sit with a dear man and will have a benefit from him as much as the money he robbed.
If dreamt a few robber surrounded him and couldn't steal anything means there is a danger for illness and close to death but will cure.
If dreamt a robber robed something from him means he will hear a lie news.*** This is your case ***
If dreamt he was going in a way and the thieves killed him, means he will receive a bad news about a relative disaster
If dreamt he was a thief and robbed someone's money or property means that person will be his enemy and will cause him serious problems.
If dreamt he was a robber but didn't rob anything means he will get ill and will cure.
Theft may also mean : 1- fight and enmity 2- To tell a lie 3- Illness and ruined life.

Hi-

Sometimes a dream reveals the subtlest of things.

Every church, recognized as such, is a house of god yet in this house it is the god or "church" you do not know not the location. And in this particular one, go thieves. This is the house of the thief god. Do you recognize this god?

If you do not, think Hermes. You are in the House of the god, Hermes. The theft is a hermetic one.

Hermes governs the marketplace as well as economic exchanges and so, Hermes is as well a god of banks, bankers and banking.

Now what was taken belongs to this house and so nothing really has been taken. You have been tithed (so to speak). Hermes cannot steal what is already properly his. Instead, Hermes has layed upon you what may be a lucky number, although I do not have enough information to know how it will operate to your behalf. The word tithe means ten. This "theft" of Hermes is going to operate like something magical.

Many Blessings,

Well dreams can be very absract in their meaning. The church may represent your own core beliefs(in general rather than religious). So in some way the dream may point to some threat to your own core beliefs and general faith in life and the circumstances around you. So any doubts taht you have in general in real life may have triggered this dream.
------------------------

If people truly knew the meaning of their dreams they would be quite surprised. Many have helped perpetuate the myth that dreams are really deep and meaningful. True some are but the majority of dreams are simply part of our brain functions. They help us clarify everyday issues. These are very important at the time but
are far from being crucial in the overall scheme of things. Freud and others talk of the deeper dreams. But that is only because of their interest in psychology. They also speak of lots of other dreams that are insignificant and just linked to the previous day. But these dreams are interesting in themselves. They too show how the brain works. So simple dreams with meanings like "I need to spend more time on my studies" are important. If we can understand the simple dreams we can apply knowledge gained to solve the more trickier dreams.

Hi!

My response is actually to USRR and is really an aside.

I understand the value of the positivism with which you posit the dream and also the literal perspective in your very causal point of view. I also keep in mind how each kind of perspective regarding dream interpretations will seek to contribute a way of seeing our dreams and how each will bring to light a level of knowing even as each shuts out other levels of insight to reveal themselves with clarity. So I welcome your particular persepctive each time you offer it following one of my own.

It is Jung who talks specifically and first about how interpretations of dreams distort and forsake a dream's logic throwing one side of dream-psyche into the dark to spotlight a particular area of the dream in a particular way. It is James Hillman who attempts bringing to dream interpretation a less polarized way of meeting the dream without trying to turn it over into our day-world perspective. One can amplify dreams and experience meaning without interpretation by re-visioning the psychology of the dream itself. It is a kind of playing, playing the dream, or ficting. The dream is a fiction in the first place.

You see, both Freud & Jung, as well as many many other kinds today, understand how some ways of 'interpretation' of dream will penetrate the unknown or irrational sphere much more deeply than others. These ways are not really interpreting the dream but revealing its ground. The ground of our dreams are our myths. They are operating like living corpses because we are in a mythless age. In re-visioning this psyche one may come to say, with the absence of myths we dream through a myth of absence.

Looking through myths and mythic patterns opens up dream patterns aka the psychology of the dream, not only our own soul-logical statements but psyche's logical life itself. Psyche is its own ground of being and expressing. It is the third thing that is no thing. It is non datur or "nothing" and this 'absence' operates between spirit (reason aka mind or brain) and nature(flesh). Psyche is that aliveness that lives in the no-space, the dream.

Psyche is what we call the irrational perspective and the unconscious sphere. What Jung meant when he first uses the word "the unconscious" is simply, "The I don't know." It or the psyche lets darker shades and more irrational sides of the Self, sides that hold our myth-logical possibilites, reveal themselves and comment, albeit briefly.

Now what prompts my comment is the way you are using the term myth and the way you are mentioning Freud. It is not each thing nor the sum of the two taken together. It is the third space & the way this space opens back that I am trying to speak about and that prompts my specific comments now.

You use the term myth to literally mean falsehood or lie. Myths are not falsehoods nor are they lies. They are our most important stories. They contain as-statements that comment on is-ness in the here and now to reveal to us the deeper truths hiding beneath what we desire to bring to life and live, things that mean what we deeply value in what makes our living worthwhile.

So when you say, "Many have helped perpetuate the myth that dreams are really deep and meaningful you are using the word 'myth' in the wrong way. When you go on to talk about Freud and say, "Freud and others talk of the deeper dreams. But that is only because of their interest in psychology" you have forgotten there was no "psychology" before Freud.

Freud is "The Father of Psychology." The term "psychology" enters our language in 1900 with the publication of Freud's "Totem and Taboo." What Freud realizes that allows him to talk about the deeper dream reality is based upon a myth: the myth of Oedipus! What Freud discovers is that myth forms the foundation for what is really real and not merely material and causal in the way we are situated in our fleshly and conscious existence.
