Wendy's Dream Column (1)

Dream: I'm in a flat overlooking the sea and my boyfriend is on an oil rig. I can see him but the sea is between us. I long to be with him. Later, I am looking from the window and he arrives in a car. I so want to see his face but a van parks in the way. PD Slough

Wendy's reply: Bridge the Gap! When you see him does he remain distant and unavailable? There could be something between you that is too deep for him to speak of. There are times when you could see him but things get in the way. They could be got round eventually. He may have slipped into bad habits or have a fear of commitment. If he is not fulfilling your needs for love and intimacy, you may have to look for a man who can give these to you.

Dream: I am in an express train which is travelling much too fast along a track where I know there is a sharp bend. I am unable to inform the driver and I cannot stop the train. I'm sure we are about to crash and I wake up in a panic. SH Wilts.

Wendy's reply: You must take the decisions which affect your future or you could be heading for trouble in the long run. Plan to make progress in small stages and this will prevent a major crisis. You may need help to confront anyone who causes you to feel disempowered or anxious. Identify where the greatest risks are and take no gambles. Everyone needs friends, so confide in someone trustworthy and ask for a reciprocal commitment of support. You will find you enjoy life more and your friends will be inspired by your new found assertiveness. Meditate on enjoying the magic of the moment and the beauty of the natural world. Use the affirmation: True affluence is good health and freedom from stress. I will insist on making my own decisions on anything that radically affects me. I will relax and take life at a comfortable pace.

 

Dream: I am alone in a country lane walking towards a village. I stop people along the way and ask three questions: How can I get to London? Is there a coach service? Where is the pick-up point? The people I meet laugh at me and give different answers. JS Harrow.

Wendy's reply: Where Am I? We have so many choices these days it is difficult to decide the best way to proceed. Everyone has a different idea of what they want and how they will achieve it. Keep like-minded friends around you. Be ambitious, Have confidence and use a direct route to your goals. Meditate on giving and receiving support. Use the affirmation: I will be clear and explicit with my intentions.

Dream: I am driven in a white, van-like coach on a business outing. When we arrive, we are chased by someone with a gun of spray paint. I am hit many times by bullets of red dye which hurt like hell. I try to rind my husband but I can't get through and when I do, there is so much interference on the line, he cannot hear what I am saying. DW Manchester.

Wendy's reply: Dying to Please! I guess you are a little naive and have got yourself into a bit of a mess recently. You may be left feeling damaged when other people have fun at your expense. Being unable to explain the circumstances of your distress have caused you to feel frustrated, along and unable to receive help. Meditate on being massaged with warm, soothing balm by someone who cares for you. Use the affirmation: I will avoid undesirable situations and insensitive people. I can protect myself when I am in danger. 

Dream: I am supplying chestnuts. I find it impossible to put the exact number and weight into each bag. Suddenly, I realise my handbag is missing. I cannot remember where I put it. AR Southamptom.

Wendy's reply: Problems: There is an age old problem here - How can things be shared out fairly? I suspect you have made meticulous efforts to be just but you have failed to include yourself. Meditate on remembering where your valuables are. Use the affirmation: I will try to sustain and nourish others and at the same time ensure I receive my share of life's rewards.

Dream: I am watching a fish as it struggles to swim and jump up a waterfall. Every time it manages to reach the top, a wave pushes it down to the bottom again. DW Wilts.

Wendy's reply: Spawning Ground: Do not be disheartened. More than a thousand years ago, the ordinary people of this country honoured the salmon because it taught them one of life's greatest lessons - perseverence in the face of adversity. Meditate in using your strength, inventiveness and agility to reach for your highest ambitions. Use the affirmation: Life may not be easy but I will succeed by effort and dedication to my chosen path.
