Another way spirit will communicate with us is through our dreams. Now this is probably the easiest way that spirit can communicate with us. Because really, when we're in a dream state when they're when we're in that Alpha Theta state of mind, we're not dealing with our monkey mind. We're not dealing with our to do list we're not dealing with our ego we are in a complete state of relaxation, which is easy for Spirit to come and connect with us. So in this little section, we are going to talk about some symbols with dreams and what they usually mean. Now I'm not going to go through everything and what you know your dreams.
You know, if you see things in your dreams means because there are so many things that we go through within our dreams, but I'm going to talk about some of the most common things that happen in our dreams and some of the symbols behind it. So when we see animals in our dreams, If we're being chased by a predator, this is suggesting that we are holding back or repressing emotions like fear instead of confronting issues. Now, you also want to pay attention to the animals you see in your dreams, because they can really speak to you about people and situations in your life. And you also want to remember what animal it actually is because, as we spoke about in the last section, just the meaning of animals can mean a lot as well. And another thing that we see very commonly in our dreams are babies.
Now, dreaming about babies is usually less about your own offspring, and more rooted in your own inner child. But of course, they can represent you know, your own offspring, but mostly At the time, it is your own inner child and they represent a need for love and nurture and support. And babies can also represent the birth of new ideas or new chapters, or new beginnings in life. Another theme that we see a lot in dreams is being chased. I don't know about you, but I feel like 80% of my dreams I am being chased by something or someone and dreams where you are being chased by someone or something are rooted in our fight or flight instincts which sometimes bleed over into our dreams. So it can mean you are feeling under threat by someone or something or you are suppressing emotions or healing.
Which in this case for me is very true because I'm an Aquarius, and I'm very much in my head and, you know, this is something that I'm always trying to heal but you know, a lot a lot of the times when you are being chased into dreams, it's really a very subconscious thing because we are programmed for fight or flight instincts and this will vary vary. A lot of the times bleed over into our dreams. So, you know, a lot of the times you might just be feeling extreme stress and when you are being chased in your dreams, that's your subconscious telling you, you know, to chill out or that's that's basically what my subconscious tells me. So another theme that we see in dreams quite often is death. And a lot of people freak out when you know death is apparent in our dreams, but really death just like the tarot card, it doesn't necessarily mean death.
I have, you know, the death card entire This is kind of off the subject, but you know, this Death card in Tarot represents change. And when we, you know deal with death in our dreams, it can represent birth in your waking life. It represents change, change and transition, and an end and the beginning and if you have recently lost someone that you love dreaming of death, maybe you're on your subconscious mind. It's attempt to come to terms with the grief that you are feeling. So, you know, dreaming about death is not a forewarning of anything, it's usually more of allowing you to be okay with transition and change and coming to terms with things. Another theme that's very, very common in dreams is falling Now, when we fall in our dreams, it's it's very common and it connects to a anxieties and fears about letting go.
So if you're having a lot of dreams about falling or something like that you might be subconsciously blocking things maybe, you know, ending a relationship or, you know, ending a contract of some sort or something along those lines. I'm telling you, spirit and our subconscious are powerful things and it's just up to us to understand what exactly they're trying to tell us. Another pretty popular theme within our dreams, our teeth, and having a dream about losing teeth or anything to do with teeth, symbolizes just basic general anxiety of losing control of our everyday life. And it can also represent hidden fears of getting old and being unattractive to the people that we love. So you know, these are all very basic common things, and it's really spirits way of letting us know that we're safe and protected. Another theme in dreams and this one's very popular in my dreams is dreaming of water and water can symbolize the overall state of your subconscious mind.
So if you're, if the water in your dreams is calm, then it reflects inner peace. But if it's choppy and strong, and there's a lot of wind This suggests unease and upheaval within your within your everyday life and reality. So these are just some symbols, some very common symbols that you will receive throughout your dreams. I highly suggest if this is something if you have very vivid dreams and it's easy for you to remember your dreams, I highly suggest You know, diving more into this because or this type of symbolism because a lot of people don't remember their dreams but if you remember your dreams vividly, definitely keep a dream journal and write everything down. So it will help you understand the message messages that you're getting from spirit. Also, you know, there are a ton of resources out there there are encyclopedias, about dreams and themes.
So definitely take a look at that if this is something that you are interested in pursuing
