Out of all of the bizarre, fantastic and illustrative dreams, all of the sorting through and processing of family, work, relationships, etc., my focus here will mostly be on fairly explicit ones with spiritual/religious, philosophical, and even psychic elements.
The personal is universal, so I hope these will resonate somewhat with others.
Kernels of truth are inside each one of them!
Keep in mind that although some religious symbols and references will be mentioned, they may not represent themselves per se. For example, just because Christ appears in a dream, he is not simply a representation of Christ specifically, but perhaps the dreamer’s highest self / highest potential, or a notion of the personification of divine energy, or all of the above.
Some dreams will be proceeded or preceded by notes, in italics, meant for clarification, or to show links to other dreams or waking-life events.
Useful autobiographical details to keep in mind:
• I am a gay Mexican-Italian male artist. A fraternal twin.
• Lived in Houston , Texas until 2000, then moved to San Francisco , California .
• Mother died in April 2004
• Modern Spiritualist upbringing. Involved in a Spiritualist study group off and on from
2003 - 2011.
• A Unitarian Universalist from around 1994 – 2011 (sang in UU choirs).
• Underwent Catholic conversion process (RCIA) from October 2010 – April 2011.
Baptized Easter Eve, April 2011.
Although Christianity has fascinated me since childhood, and I have associated
closely, and occasionally worshipped with, Catholics for years (especially since
2001) - as late as 2009, I barely fathomed I’d actually ever finally convert!
