Navigating the DMs of your Dreams

This isn't rocket science and it can also present quite the puzzle not to be solved. It's about the meaning of the metaphors chosen specifically for fantastically unique You. Play the game, roll the dice, and let the DMs of dreams flood your body's inbox.

Transcript

I'm Lizanne Flynn. I'm a master healer who holds space for any Earthling as they reunite body and soul in their earthly experience. I am a bridge for relationships between Earthlings of all species so that 

the heart bond becomes stronger, deeper, and more loving. I serve in the roles of animal communicator, medium, and medical intuitive, and I use the tools of shamanic journeying and soul retrieval 

to support all Earthlings in their recovery from past trauma. I'm certified as a Reiki Master Teacher and as a canine massage therapist. This is the Animals' iView podcast.

The world of dreams is one of my most favorite dimensions of reality. And I think that reality and our human-centric perception of reality is a good place to start where dreams are concerned. In shamanistic

terms everything that we experience is reality and it's just a matter of ordinary reality versus non-ordinary reality. To a certain extent, I'll modify that for you because it represents an eternal perspective that

we have of humans of duality, right? This or that, front or back, right or wrong, etc. As we've talked about before, even a broken clock is right twice a day. In the world of the Animals, all energy is present for

and to them, and therein lies their empowerment. Because just like us they have free will. Just like us, their bodies have biological instincts hardwired into that physical form that may at times override their

choices and yet they also recognize much more than we do their ability to respond versus react in any given situation. They know that their bodies give them emotions of survival say, to name one, and that

they get to choose whether to react to that or to respond in any given situation. I'm feeling the nudge of a cold nose just under my arm, courtesy of Dog who is showing me their paws as an example. You

may have a canine companion who doesn't like their feet to be touched and may react with fear and defensiveness in increasing degrees of warning should you be silly enough to touch said paws! If we pull

on that thread of energy, we can feel that touching their paws is directly related to the nervous system's sympathetic stress response of flight away from a situation that feels uncomfortable to them. In other

words, another predator - which you are, by the way - hampering the dog's ability to run away from a situation for survival. And yes, you'll likely say - well, trimming their nails is hardly attempted murder! To

your dog though, that biological ability to run to safety is no different than yours. Yes, getting a pedicure is one of my most favorite treats and it might be one of yours as well and the word treats comes into

play. Counterconditioning and de-sensitizing your dog to getting their nails trimmed offers them a choice of responses. It's so important to honor where they are energetically, their emotions, and long-term

feelings over negative experiences in the past with nail trims, and thus, empowerment and more confidence for them to choose to please you with less reactivity of fear.

Perhaps dreams for us - and for any being - are no different in terms of reality because they can elicit the exact same physiological responses within your body as any other planetary experience. Sure you may

have been changed into a fairy in your dream and have wings and that doesn't change the fact that you're still connected to your body. So because your body in this dimension doesn't have wings or at least

ones that you can see - insert purple head exploding emoji here - in this other reality and in the dimension if you will of dreams, the form that energy you, the being having an energetic experience on Earth you,

will feel these appendages. Because the body is just that smart in interpreting energy for you from all sorts of places and will remain for as long as you're here, the best vehicle for informing all of your 

choices hands down, pun intended. And yes, while some dreams might be a cleaning of the cobwebs if you will from your brain, there just might be a nugget hidden amongst the images of contrast that will

likely be in the language of metaphors. The reason why of metaphors I think has to do with metaphor being the best way to get the point of a story across in ways that the direct message simply can't. Even

though that's what we think we'd like as my oldest son has said - "why don't they just send me a text message?!" and to that Universe would likely chuckle and say - "Where's the fun in that?!" And "because

you're on Earth to make choices and to increase your awareness on a soul path level. This isn't about winning the game, this is about playing the game, underscore the word playing, with joy, compassion

, and freedom." The Animals would add "Geez, you guys always take all the fun out of being here!!" And by you guys, they're not talking about the Universe or your guides, they're talking about us, the human

animal, small A. We're on our way to the capital H of Human like Dog or Cat or Walrus or Snake - and dreams are the perfect way for you, as an individual energetic fingerprint, to buy your clues from Vanna. So

that other human animals can follow your lead and so collective awareness grows. Metaphors also have long been a way for humans to attempt to make sense of this planet and the situations we encounter. We

created whole systems of gods, goddesses, and other creatures as well as their stories of both triumph and tragedy to mirror our own. So that we can suss out the meaning of say the elements and how they

are and apply them to our lives. If you're interested in further exploration of myths and metaphors, look no further IMO, than Joseph Campbell. I'll put a link in the podcast notes to his website that's managed

as he already transitioned. 

I've kept a dream journal since 2006, more or less at times, and keep track of those dreams of significance and for me, those are the ones I remember particularly. You may be saying - "but Lizanne - I don't

remember any of my dreams!" And I can validate that for you, definitely! Before you go to bed each night, start with a simple intention and say - "I will remember my dreams". That's it - just 5 words holding

space for the DMs the Universe chooses specifically for you every single night. No dream is random and every dream may contain the nuggets of light I referenced earlier. Then again, there may be some

dreams that simply knock you on your tuckus where you wake up and go - what the he double hockey sticks was that about?! The dreams may be messages about a situation past present or future, they may be

about relationships past, present or future and the key is, not to try and make them fit your current reality. If you interpret them directly based on the metaphors you'll have a much easier time seeing the

support and connection that the Universe at large wants to gift you. Because dreams are absolutely a gift, even the ones that scare us, and make us fearful of what might happen or hopeful about what could

happen, etc. You're here to gain awareness, remember, and the Universe so wants to support your choices. You're not being punished as some religions might imply only to have your soul withheld from you 

if you make certain choices or act in a certain way. Everything is available to you so it's up to you to make this lifetime count - no pressure! Don't worry either if you can't get the resonance of the dream right

away. That's happened to me so many times before so I just sit and go with what I know about the dream and speaking of resonance, that's truly what anything on this planet is about. It's how you felt in the

dream when presented with these situations and/or imagery that really matters. Which is the point of the metaphor as well, this isn't meant to be rocket science y'all, this is meant to be a DM dropped in a

moment of time directly into your experience and brain/nervous system so that you'll understand better about this human experience. It's unlikely to solve a problem so don't look for that. Rather reach for an

understanding of guidance and what your choices and options are.

A few of mine have been real barn burners. One in particular years ago was this - I was traveling on 6th avenue headed east into downtown Denver which as locals know, turns into 8th Avenue at some point. 

A tornado was also building over the city and I was going against the flow of traffic that was headed away from the storm, metaphor numbers 1-4 - the numbers 6, 8, a tornado, and going against the flow of

traffic. As I got closer to the tornado, there were a couple of giant 8-millimeter film reels that were rolling toward the car that I was in and I felt that I was going to be crushed. Just at the last moment, the

reels of film were lifted up and to the left of the car onto the buildings that lined the road, and out of my way. Metaphor numbers 5-8, past situations from my life that were bothering me, and a firm structure

available to handle them so I wouldn't be harmed again. Close to the tornado now, I felt the car being lifted up into the eye of the storm and I heard my 7 yr old voice saying "Mommy, I'm scared" while at the

same time, a priest was present for my mom, and right then I heard a voice that said, "You'll be all right if you just stay grounded." Metaphor numbers 9-11, young girl, my mom, religion, and the Universe itself.

Then I woke up with my heart pounding, to be sure! This is a dream that I've applied to other situations and yet right now in my life, its application feels most resonant with current present conditions.

As you can see, I noted which symbols or metaphors stuck out for me and/or were highlighted in particular by the Universe. Numbers will usually be important as will colors and weather conditions. Feel free to

use generic resources for dreams and numerology and yet don't try to make it fit. If the number 47 appears it's not necessarily a metaphor unless your body communicates a feeling to you about these numbers.

So take the generic resources with a pound of salt! Same thing with colors and or other objects. "Well, yeah", you might say. "But a tornado can only mean one thing, right?" Yes and no. For humans, a tornado

is not usually a good thing because we see it as the destruction of what's already present and therefore change. In the world of energy, a tornado has tremendous power to dismantle what needs to be dismantled

because conditions are exactly right for change. So in the energy language of dreams, a tornado is about arriving perhaps at a certain place in time and deliberately following a path that leads straight into

the dismantling part because change is the only constant on this planet, anyways. And I would encourage you to still use the interwebs for the meaning of tornado in dreams which is exactly how I would

search for different meanings. It's only what resonates for you and the example that I use is that of a rose. Say you had a dream about a rose and everyone else on the planet had a dream about a rose. For

each of us, the rose would resonate differently. For some it might be the smell, for others the feel of the petals, still others the color of the petals, and still others the presence of thorns or not. A rose is not

just a rose is a rose, to misquote Gertrude Stein deliberately. And as well Juliet from Shakespeare - a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Well, what if the rose in someone else's dream smelled

like peanut butter? Yes, in the language of dreams, these DMs are so personalized because every single piece of you and your experience is known to the Universe. The smell of peanut butter may well be a

smell that someone associated with love as when their mother or grandmother made them a peanut butter sandwich without the jelly because, at that age in life, you didn't like jelly. Now, don't go too far down

the rabbit hole with this, stick with your dreams and what messages you're given. Your rose might be yellow and you could look up the meaning of a yellow rose - friendship, by the way - and at the same time,

there might also be Bee - as in a bee - on your rose. Your dreams have plenty enough nuances to keep your brain occupied and once again, it only matters how the metaphor feels to you. Solving a puzzle isn't

the purpose of dreams, they're truly meant to be a "heads up" for you. Treat them this way, lightly, with a bit of fun, and not too seriously even the ones like what I had. Don't be surprised if more resonance

comes with time, they can be like that, meaning a not one-off. Energy is always shifting and so are you. Again, I'll repeat - don't try to make it fit. That resonance will be present or it won't, this isn't about 

answering questions, it's about giving guidance to you, a very precious and unique soul energy in physical experience on a planet of unified duality where only balance and partnership are the only way 

forward and together. At least, that's how the Universe via their dream DMs sees it.
