Elevators

I'm a huge believer that dreams have meanings. They have a way of telling us our past, present and future.  I love interpreting my dreams, and in a way they have guided me through the years. I want to share a story with some dreams I have been having the past 4 years.

Years ago, when my life was flipped upside down and out of control, I used to have reoccuring dreams of being in an elevator. The first dream I had, I was in this building. It was ran down, dark, dingy, water leaking and lights flickering. There were stairs on the left side and a broken elevator on the left. I was determined to go up the stairs, but with each step I took, the wood would fall through, preventing me from going up. So, I go towards the elevator and I climb in through the doors. As soon as I am inside, the elevator shoots straight up, sending my body into the air. When I gain control, the elevator plummets down and I wake up feeling as if I am falling. I would have this dream over and over for months. 


When things got a lil better and I gained a better sense of who I was, the dream changed. I dreamt I was in the same building, but it was clean and everything was gold and marble. I was able to get into the elevator and ride it to the 17th floor. I worked out in the gym and rode the elevator back down. I knew that it was because I was headed on the right path. That dream was about 3 years ago. I figured my elevator dreams were over. Until a few nights ago.


A few nights ago, I dreamt I was in this HUGE elevator and inside were 5 other people and it didnt even seem like an elevator but this large room and we just kept going up...higher and higher. I looked up the meaning and this is what it said:

"To dream that you are ascending in an elevator represents a rise to status and wealth. You may have risen to a higher level of consciousness and are looking at the world from an elevated viewpoint. If the elevator is moving upward in an out of control fashion or it crashes through the roof, then it indicates that you are being catapulted to a position of power in which you do not yet know how to deal with. You are afraid of the new responsibilities ahead for you. Descending in an elevator suggests that you are being grounded or coming back down to reality. It also signifies setbacks and misfortunes.
In general, the up and down action of the elevator represents the ups and downs of your life. It also symbolizes emotions and thoughts that are emerging out of and submerging into your subconscious. Alternatively, the dream may have sexual connotations.
To dream that the elevator is out of order or that it is not letting you off symbolizes that your emotions have gotten out of control. It may be a reflection of your life or your career. You are feeling stuck in some aspect of your life, whether it is your career, relationship, etc.
To dream that the elevator is moving sideways means that your efforts are counterproductive. You are going nowhere in your work, relationship or other situation. "
 
 
I feel as if everything is happening for a reason and everything just feels right and on the right track. There's so much I am thankful for. I have gone through alot of of ups and downs, not really understanding why things happened. There is a bigger plan. I found this saying "Let Go and Let God" and I just love it. When I feel overwelmed, I have to let it all go.
 
I have an awesome job and I love working with some amazing people, doing hair and makeup and body painting, hubby and I just got a great 3 bedroom townhouse were about to move into and things just feel good. Nothing beats the feeling of confidence. I just feel so humbled.
 
I just wanted to share this with you and I hope you enjoyed it. Feel free to comment or share about your dreams and what they mean!
 
 


 

Thankful

I was having a bit of rough day today. I usually try to stay positive but every now and then I give in and have a "moment". It's the holidays and were having to look for a new place and that in itself is exhausting. Deposits, applications, fees, neighborhoods and the hassle of packing and moving and getting help to move it. Were not moving far from where we currently live, just need to move.

I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, so I know everything is gonna be ok, I just have to stay strong. In times like these, I usually reach out to friends and family for advice or just positive thoughts. My grandfather and I spoke a few days ago, and he told me "When ever you are feeling down, just remember all the things you have to be thankful for"

Those words pop up in my head everytime I get a lil down. And he's right. I usually tell people this myself, but when it comes to myself, I tend to need a lil reminding. I am thankful. I've had my fair share of crappy situations, especially around the holidays. I have alot to be thankful for. My family, children and friends are all healthy for the most part, I have a roof over my head, a car to drive, a job and I can go on and on. I have to remember to be thankful. I'm not just saying these things because Thanksgiving is around the corner, but I think it's good to be reminded what we have to be thankful for.

I havent been blogging the past few months, and many of my readers are wondering why. Things are just crazy. Im hoping after the holidays, it will calm down and I can get back into my routine blogging schedule. But for now, thank you for reading and visiting- especially those who read it all the time or who have been with me for a while. I appreciate that you take the time to read what I write. See you soon in the next post!

I am so happy that the fall season is here! Cooler weather, the leaves changing colors and I get to bust out my boots, sweaters and scarves. I love layering my clothes too! Hot cocoa, hot tea and coffee and fresh pastries. Thanksgiving is already fast approaching!
