LillaComponents and Locations of Buildings ~ N-P
November 12th 2007 02:48
A narrow road or pathway to the house – often indicates a need to stay on the path, because restriction and limitation may well be the wisest measure right now.
A narrow bridge across a moat – indicates that you be mindful of not becoming narrow minded right now in reaching out. If you are having trouble with communications right now, practice meditation and waiting until a better time to speak about your ideas…
(See Moat).
Neighbour ~ to see a neighbour banging on your dream home door, or pottering within your dream home (or garden), is pointing you towards the realms of fellowship and your need for it, at this time. It is time for you to prepare yourself to become ready to join others in a communal project of some sort.
Flowers – point to the potential we have for success… and that properly used now, our invested energy will hopefully bear fruit.
Fruit – is reassuring you as to the harvest that we may gather if we do invest our energies now… go ahead, it is a wise time to be bold.
Plain Trees – (see Trees).
Ornaments are tangible and recognisable spirituality.
(If you cannot find the object in previous posts, leave a comment and I’ll see if I have that object listed somewhere).
As such it is a symbol of spiritual transformation and growth.
Our spiritual gifts can often be those we have received from others, or latent gifts we have yet to discover within, and explore. If a package arrives, it means you need to start to unpack some deeper spiritual ‘gift’ to offer new meaning into your existence.
Sending a Parcel or Package – we are sending our energy out into the world to see what it will return.
A Pedestal – Is showing you that which you have made very special. Take note of the object you have placed upon it. Most humans have the ability to worship certain characteristics in others and dreams of a pedestal will often occur to show the appropriateness (or not) of such action.
A good feeling in the dream - signifies an imitation of good traits in others, is beneficial to our well being.
Bad vibes and nightmares - around this symbol represent idolatry, which will impede and possibly corrupt our own spiritual journey.
As a Point of Embarkation or Arrival - a pier points the way for new opportunities or the end of a phase of your life (if witnessed as the end of a journey), which indicates that you are moving to a new level of spiritual understanding.
To Be a Pillar of the Community – in your dream, suggests that you should be taking more responsibility for your actions than you have to date (or in this situation).
What are you shirking off?
Supporting Pillars – indicates that the structure we have given our lives may need some attention.
Two Pillars – is highlighting the difference between masculine and feminine, or appearing in your dream to highlight the contrast between spiritual and material power.
To see both can also mean that many things are soon to be revealed, both good and bad.
Left Pillar – always represents the feminine (subconscious) (often seen as black or shadowy).
Right Pillar – always represents the masculine (consciousness) and is often seen in dreams as white, or sunny and bright.
Water Pipes – offer information as to how we might handle our emotions. The size of the pipe is significant here, as big pipes may represent the need to channel / control rampant emotions. However, little pipes under high pressure can also signal warnings of their own.
Usually hidden from view, water pipes specifically alert us to the way we need to direct our emotions; sometimes by bypassing obstacles in order to create security. In dreams their appearance allows us to ‘see’ the flow of spiritual and emotional energy within ourselves, projected within the security of our dream house.
If There Is a Blocked Pipe – it is alerting you to the possibility of a dangerous health situation and perhaps you should get a check-up of the main arteries and your ‘internal plumbing.’ Perhaps a bladder infection is imminent? As our bodies tend to speak our minds, this dream would also be suggesting that you look at where you store your emotional baggage. There is a need to find ways to release all your emotional baggage.
Suggested methods are; any of the deep breathing disciplines like meditation, yoga, or shamanic drumming methods; Reiki; Crystal and Chakra healing/balancing; prayer, fasting and meditational retreats.
Tobacco Pipe or Chillum – can suggest a means of escape.
Musical Pipe – (see Musical Instruments)
This symbol will highlight feelings of despair and help find solutions for finding a way ‘out of the pit’ of our waking environment. Facing the pit takes great courage and even though we know we may fail, we must go forward in order to bring change for the better into our lives.
If you are otherwise happy and this symbol appears, it can also herald that you be careful of pending situations, so as not to put yourself into the pit of despair.
To Be Digging a Pit – you may have to become (or are becoming) conscious that you are creating a situation for yourself. Beware!
If Others Are Digging The Pit – you have lost the feeling that you are in control over your circumstances.. and indeed this warns that only doom and disaster are inevitable if this continues.
Rescuing Others From A Pit – (especially members of your own family), suggests that you have the information you need to be of use to others, to enable them to overcome their problems.
Pushing Someone Into The Pit – indicates that you may be trying to suppress a part of your personality, which must now be allowed to surface and be fully ‘felt’ and ‘explored.’
Aware That The Pit Is Bottomless – is saying that you no longer have the resources available to you to recover a previous situation. You must let it go and move on.
Places/Settings ~ there are certain houses, buildings and surroundings/grounds/gardens/ countries/terrain - which as settings in dreams, are particularly noticeable. These ‘places’ are not lay and are always giving some message or information that can be of great use to you, as the dreamer.
Sometimes, they may be simply reflecting your inner state of mind or mood, at other times they serve as reminders of a particular place that had meaning or significance. Perhaps times from your past, where certain skills were learned and employed and which can be of use again in your current situation.
They are basically dreams that offer an arrow on the map showing you, that: YOU ARE HERE… so orientating yourself to using the information provided is easier and more effective.
So, be thorough and take note of the symbols of places/settings as they appear in your nightscapes… here a few of the most common;
Dreary, Unfriendly Places, or Tranquil Favourable Landscapes – will be reflecting your subjective view of the world at this time.
Are the forces of ‘nature’ calling you to be more spontaneous?
A Specific Country –
America – for most will signify a rather brash, commercially oriented culture,
England – tends to represent the inhibited and dutiful,
France – the temperamental masculine,
Germany – Inventive, somewhat autocratic, yet progressive, and so on…
Look at the specific overall nature of the nation in which you house is located to see the overall pattern of your behaviour whilst ‘staying’ here.
Composite Scenes, Consisting of Many Recognisable Images – are usually drawing attention to particular qualities, ideals and moods which can all be used to enhance the interpretation, deepening meaning and clarity. For example : A chair under a tree, in a bright sunny playground, near the sea.
Our Birthplace/Birth-House - represents security and our current need for it.
A Bright and Sunny Place/House – suggests fun and liveliness (do you need more of it in your life, or is it reflecting that you have it?)… the same goes for :
Congratualtions!
Darkened Places (in general) – (like basements in the house, dark rooms, shadowy hallways, dark stairs, etc.,) are often signals that you are within the subconscious mind and things are about to get interesting (usually very random, profound, and with the potential to deeply impress certain emotions and images upon you … mostly resulting with conscious insight and change).
A Familiar Place/House – Will be taking you back to a time of learning (often childhood).
A Particularly Beautiful Place - will allow you to fantasize – suggesting you make more use of creative visualisation in your daily life to help achieve your goals.
Visualisation Technique 101 : sit quietly and focus on your breathing. Take big breathes in and blow out loudly, repeat … stay focused on your breathing, and after a few minutes, picture the future you want (or are trying to achieve) and put yourself into that picture. See yourself there; doing whatever it is you hope to be doing. Spend some time there; imagining the colours of the décor, what you are wearing, the people present…so on and so forth.
Remember: primarily, it is not the destination which we seek, but the experience of the journey itself. Take time to visualise yourself stopping to smell the roses… perhaps even visualising adventures along the way to your goal, as they may well bring a greater joy than the goal itself.
(see Labyrinth).
A Sheltered/calm place – is saying you need peace and security now. You may need a quiet place or period of time, in order to reflect on the situation and your feelings towards it.
Unknown Places/Houses – are terribly exciting because they are the opening up of aspects of ourselves that we have (to date) been unaware of … as such they can sometimes lead us to;
Places/Houses Which Seem Familiar, But Are Still Unknown – signifying a situation we may be continually ‘re-running’ in our lives, on auto-replay. If this is you, there is an old saying that goes something like;
If you continually do things in the same way,
Do not expect a different outcome.
Wide-open Spaces/Houses – Suggest that you need more freedom of movement in your waking life, or it’s time to have a garage sale to create some order in the chaos.
Till next time, sweet dreamzzzzz.

Familiar places are usually about security and perhaps they disturb because you have to weigh continued growth against settling into the routine of the familiar... not an easy task at any age...
If you should get back there you can be assured you are making spiritual headway and not stagnant, and that is good news for a progressive soul like you, I think.
Thanks, happy to be flitting around again and yes, those zzzzzz are mezzzmorizzzing aren't they... they make me feel zleepy...*yawn* and ..oops, time for my afternoon nap... per chance to dream some more?
zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Love the visualization technique - I try and do this before I go to bed every night and have done for years - at the moment I`m just acknowledging the journey as it couldn`t be further from what I have been visualizing! ha! you have to love the journey.

I don't know if I can keep doing this blog as it is so time consuming... perhaps just one letter at a time or something...? ...but I did enjoy this one as I spend many hours each night in different houses and buildings and have all sorts of adventures within amazing walls... so it is helping me to go through it all... some is still unknown and has to be looked up on the net and in various almanac's I have, so I guess it is worth continuing for that purpose alone, as it offers fodder for my journey ... who said the path should be easy?
As the Irish say, I hope the path rises up to meet you.

I can`t imagine how long it would take for you to compile these posts though, so it is understandable

I'll give that a go for starters as I have readers outside of orble as well and I enjoy writing them, but this one (for example) took about four hours (plus)!
I have another life too *chuckle* although you'd never know it some days ...
Hope all's well, talk again soon.
