LillaHurry Up, I've a Plane To Catch...

Will You Make The Plane...?
Hi Dreamers,
A few weeks back I had another of those frustrating aeroplane dreams… in this one I had caught a boat after many delays and finally made it back to the funny little flat that I was staying at in some foreign land.. sort of like that movie ‘A Room With A View.’ I had a lovely black cat too…but I digress... anyway, as usual I had to pack for the plane and this time I didn’t even make it to the airport…
The same old story each time… too much stuff to pack away into one suitcase…? This time I had furniture too and everything… a complete and utter shambles trying to get it all organised in time for the flight…which was at 3pm that afternoon.
Again, I kept checking my ticket and again, like every time before, I realised all too soon I would never make the flight…
SIDE NOTE : In previous aeroplane dreams I’ve actually made the airport and -
- been late through customs and missed the flight.
- Been held up by a broken escalator and missed the flight.
- Got stuck in the restaurant I visited before taking the flight
- Made the runway to watch the plane leaving
- Actually made the plane only to be turned back by some ogre at the doorway in a stewardesses uniform…
So what is it with this symbol and what does it mean when we can’t make the plane…?
Well all journey in dreams have many significances – so lets start with a DEPARTURE.
Any dream that deals with departures is suggesting new beginnings. In the olden days it was thought that such dreams were representational of death. Time itself has changed this notion and now it is seen that through the advent of transition and new learning, the new emerges from the old to the contemporary meaning that there is work to be done before we can move on.
To dream of wanting to leave but not being able to, is a strong suggestion to ourselves that the circumstances for moving on are not yet right. There is still more work to be done before the new can be taken on. Plod on.
To be conscious of the time of departure suggests that we are aware of a time limit within some circumstance in our lives… [this is especially true of those with understanding of pre-life agreements]. Significantly the Number three in dream-lore represents : the triangle; freedom.
So specifically to the mode of transport – The AEROPLANE…
Always a symbol of swift easy transitions and journeys with some attention to detail… Interestingly, the aeroplane can symbolise both a new sexual relationship and (at the same time) also a new awareness of spiritual matters.
Only seeing and then missing the plane indicates that the awareness is there but the time for a new physical manifestation of the new person is not yet right…
Actually being at an AIRPORT signifies a state of transition which is in progress from one spiritual awareness to another spiritual awareness, often without the need to also change relationships... but to change something within an existing one.
To see the PILOTl in your dreams is significant as the romanticised part of ourselves which will ‘get us there.’

How about when one has "too much baggage" or is that just self-explanatory? Hahahaa...
Cos man, I've have that one, you know, too much to pack, too much stuff... and I know it can quite often be taken literally.

Sometimes I've made the plane and sometimes not, with all that bloody baggage. What can you do?
Happy travels to you, too! ; )

Your dream caught my attention because of the plane, and brings me back to the question of when we are meant to be looking at symbology vs. when we're actually having a premonition.
While living as a single mother in Tulsa with my three children, I had an amazingly powerful and confusing dream focused on an airport and a plane. In the dream, only two of my children were present. We were taking a flight, but I wasn't sure to where. My mother was also with me (she lived in Vegas at the time). Mom was carrying a book.
I sat my two younger children in the terminal to wait, still wondering why my my eldest child wasn't present. Mom and I went to check the monitor for flight information, but there was a line at the screen, so we waited. While waiting in line, a flight attendant approached me and told me the captain had requested that I clean his coffee cup. A sink appeared under the monitor. I approached the sink and distinctly remember using my fingernail to scrape away the dried coffee lining from the inside of the mug. Just then, I noticed the entire terminal shaking. The terminal itself was going into flight, without the plane.
Just as I ran to be with my children and keep them from taking off without me, my mother claimed she had to use the bathroom and, with book clutched in hand, ran away. I called after her that she'd miss the flight, and she just waved the book at me and kept running in the opposite direction.
When re-joined with my children in the shaking terminal, the floor on the sides of us began to shift upwards, folding around the terminal and shaping themselves into a plane. I sat in the middle in a row of three seats, a child at either side.
In the middle of the flight, we looked out the window and saw a pastel miniature neighborhod. It looked like the neighborhood from Mr. Rogers (kids television show from my past), but in bright colors. Then I said, "Hey kids, look - it's Egypt in New Orleans."
Then I awoke.
I did my damndest to break apart that dream and figure out what it meant, but no matter how many books I consulted, nothing matched up to my circumstance and I couldn't make heads or tails of it. Five months later, following an extremely detrimental situation, my eldest son chose to leave our family and return to Vegas to live with his paternal uncle. I was crushed, for a while, beyond repair. I died the day he left.
Two months after my eldest son had "departed" from our family, my dad sent me plane tickets so we could visit Vegas and so I could hug my son. The night before our flight, I was in the kitchen doing dishes, and it hit me while I was scraping the interior of one of my own coffee cups.
We were going to the airport to take a flight without my eldest child.
I'm still not sure what my mother represented in the dream, or her book. I've been able to deduce that my cleaning of the captain's cup was significant in telling me that I was the captain of my life... I could no longer "spiral out of control" because of my loss - I had to choose a direction and move on with my life. If you notice, above, when writing of my son's choice to leave, I said I died that day... TERMINAL. The TERMINAL was moving in the dream and I had to take charge.
I still haven't figured out the Egypt in New Orleans portions of the dream. This was back in 2003. I've since married, moved to Kentucky, and my mother has moved here and set up a home on my property. My eldest son, who just turned 18, remains in Vegas to this day.
My point here is that at the time I dreamed the dream, I had no way of knowing I'd lose my son, or that shortly after I'd fly to visit him. Looking up the dream meanings may have clued me in to my own departure, etc. - but much more likely, it was an out and out premonition of what was going to happen.
Because your plane dreams are repetitive, yours likely have much to do with symbology - but how can one tell the difference?

What a great dream... sorry for the delay in responding, but I needed to read it through a few times… and Saturday at my place is housework and grocery shopping … all done again for another week... God how I hate grocery shopping, but where i am we haven't yet got the option of being able to shop on-line and have it delivered... I put my name down.. but it's taking a while to get here... I’m spending the afternoon out in the garden – trimming, cutting back and re-doing the veg. garden – big spring flush of growth here due to reverse climate and some great rainfall lately… summer flush already here and I haven’t tidied up since winter…we’re disappearing behind our hedge completely and whilst that was the plan, it doesn’t look like a hedge anymore… more like a random tropical rainforest : which isn’t bad either, but the pathways to the doors are also disappearing!
Now then, to this dream of yours… I think there is no difference between precognition and symbology because both are always advising of upcoming events. I think you complicate the simplicity of it if you try to separate the two… same with day dreams… the difference is in our ability to understand - especially someone at your psychic stage of awareness where the two become one as a natural process of psychic evolution, the more you let go and trust...
You have already overcome the lower ‘dreams’ of the sleeping, self wrestling with ego issues … those unconscious of the multi-verses and worlds within worlds that a psychic is constantly aware off. You know the world of spirit has no time or [visible] structure from this side… and our waking realty does have all time and structure and no apparent etheric qualities… dreams are somewhere in between and a psychic (sensitive) will understand quickly that all dreams are precognitive interpretations of the spiritual and physical worlds… meeting … within the human form and cohering into one reality… as above, so below… there is work to do there too and guides to help...
This insight in how to view dreams gives scope. By giving precognitive dreams more credence and looking further into them for more precise information through the accompanying random symbology they become one dream and allow you the benefit of free information.
For your dream I think of my first words on being at AIRPORTS
“…Actually being at an AIRPORT signifies a state of transition which is in progress from one spiritual awareness to another spiritual awareness, often without the need to also change relationships... but to change something within an existing one
This is exactly what you were about to do and did… so, in a nutshell, what defines a ‘literal’ precognitive dream from one that is more general by way of symbols is when normal things start to do strange things… for me the ‘twigger’ was this line…
Just then, I noticed the entire terminal shaking. The terminal itself was going into flight, without the plane
This suggests to me that by not taking the plane it was clear indication that it was not you that was departing...
Other SYMBOLS Were:
The Pilot, [is you knowing probably that you were going to get yourself over this phase of shifting spiritual awareness and probably contemplating (and doing) some ‘red-eye’ time drinking [coffee] to stay awake. . . Mother’s in dreams always represent nuturing as they do in reality and your mother has been there to help you do just this…
I keep journals of every dream I have… over the years I have built up a library and once you have done this, you will clearly see what I am talking about… you realise that we are the co-creators of our reality… and our night-time reflections glimpse what it is we are creating… sometimes why we need nightmares to shock us into changing course before we have a waking nightmare… see what I’m getting at here…?
There are plenty symbols in your dream … [sometimes these symbols are the clues we can use to change the situation...]...
When I first looked back on my dream journals, I used to freak to see so many precognitive dreams that I only recognised in hindsight… but repeptition and further recording and research, studying and watching allowed me to soon see – by God.. we are so divine, we have no idea how powerful and divine we truly are! In sequence – you’ll find your dreamscape amazing proof that you are in touch with, and in control of, multiverses of experience within the one we call ‘reality’ in our waking life…
My guess, you’re starting to touch on your pre-life agreements in time to react properly… or change circumstances – if not now, then soon you will recognise that you can… Wendi my sweet, this can only be achieved by the most open heart and earnest searching for profound truth… and nothing but the deepest desire … to live in honest service and gratitude – and respect for the divine and to know that divine…
Simplicity of design harbours no surprises… only wonders!
You sounds like you’re getting closer….
I want to tell you about Egypt but I have to go now and get soil for the garden with the truck... I'll be back later ...... am really ruching and not sure I'm still making sense... will catch you later...
cheers

I'm grateful for the time and energy you've invested into your reply. I can feel myself stretch spiritually every time we have one of these encounters. Life is demanding and I'm grateful you've shared yourself with me.
You're 100% correct in that I've tried to create a divide where there's no need, and in doing so, have complicated matters for myself. Thank you for bringing that to my attention - it allows me to relax a bit and remove some of the pressure of trying to understand my own self.
I've been hoping for intense dreams this week. I've been faced with a few major challenges that my waking mind can't seem to find solutions for, so I was really counting on some dream guidance. Instead, all I have are loose fragments of sleep images that include Emilio Estevez, something about a garden, and odd images I no longer remember. I blame the fact that I've fallen to sleep while watching television.
I used to be terrific about writing down my dreams. I've gotten away from that practice because I awake each day to chaos and haven't yet created an environment in which I can wake peacefully and slowly, allowing myself time to write.
Thanks again,
Wendi

As for departing on the plane, as I said, I have yet to make it too... I told my husband, not time to move on yet, obviously! He just laughed... have you ever tried to pack to go and just not made it, or just not been to the airport ?
Cheers

Hope you are enjoying this new spell of cold weather? It`s gorgeous, especially after having bought myself a new COMFY bed! wooo hoooo!!
What about a plane crash? i had that dream last night. I was sitting on the right side of the plane right at the back looking out the window. I knew we were going to crash but I felt strangely calm, managing to take complete hold of my emotions because I knew we would survive. And we did. We crashed into the sea and were rescued and taken to a nearby island resort to wait to go home. I was with a man but i don`t know who he was and I couldn`t see his face, I just know we were travelling together?

interesting dream and if you don,t hear of any international plane crashes over the next few days, then on a personal level the crash itself is pointing to us controlling our impulses and indeed, perhaps even the end of a flight of fancy?
Being on the plane in the first place is a symbol of a swift transition from one stage of your life to another, or one relationship to another ... no need to hurry it along here as I said, dont want to crash and burn...
By avoiding bodily harm in the crash as you did, points to (a) you will manage to control your impulses and aggression, and (b) it further suggests that you will not take the road of punishing yourself over something trivial if a relationship must come to an end.
To be travelling with a male passenger can mean either two things; (a) you are needing time to explore your more masculine traits of assertiveness, being the one to make the first move ... or (b) you need time to consider your realtionship to a particular male in your waking world some more?
An interesting situation before you Ash.
