Eagle Eyes
Dear Ian,
I have twice had the same dream and I was wondering if you could tell me what it means. My dream is that it is a beautiful day and I am inside the head of an eagle flying higher and higher into the sky, when I look out of his right eye I can see a beautiful lush green valley with the grass blowing in the wind but when I look out of his left eye I see the same valley only this time it is barren and bare and there are no leaves on the trees.Afterwards the eagle return me to what looks like an old church and then I wake up.
Yours
Robert

Being inside an eagle’s head suggests that you have been thinking about your philosophies and beliefs in waking life.  The eagle symbolises your philosophical far-sightedness and the acuteness of your spiritual vision.  You are rising above the apparently mundane activities of everyday life and as you soar to a wider and higher viewpoint you begin to become sharply aware of some wider perspectives.

The valley represents your receptiveness to new ideas and ways of cultivating your fertile mind. The lush valley reflects the richness of your spiritual life and the barren valley shows how empty your life might be if you did not have this awareness. Seeing the green valley out of the right eye shows this as what you see as being right for you and the barren valley is left behind. Your lofty viewpoint enable you to see both sides of the situation so that you can put them in perspective.

The old church symbolises the fundamental spiritual principles by which you have been living your life. Your flight with the eagle shows that although you may have strong traditional beliefs you are very open to any other ways of thinking that will increase and expand your awareness.

Spitfire Crash Landing
Ian
I have the weirdest re-occuring dream:-
I am walking along a beach – it’s a beautiful day.  I’m talking with someone but I don’t know who it is.  Suddenly a World War 2 areoplane, Spitfire or something similar, comes flying towards us….. not firing its weapons or anything, just flying straight for us – we both run.  The aeroplane crashes onto the beach and I an hit with dedris from the crash – it’s always at that point I wake up.  WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
I always thought “that is how I dead in a previous life” but hopefully you’ll be able to tell me what It really means.

Dreaming of walking along a beach on a beautiful day suggests that you are feeling relaxed and fulfilled after successfully navigating an event in your waking life that was causing you some personal upset. Although you seem to be beyond it now, you are worried that tensions from this past conflict will suddenly reappear and begin to threaten you again.

These tensions may have been in some relationship or in the workplace and are symbolised by the World War 2 Spitfire which represents a particular memory of this old conflict. The fact that it is coming straight towards you shows that it is still seems to have the power to upset you but you know it can not harm you because it is not firing its weapons.

You are worried that this fear will materialise in reality and are afraid of  continued fallout from the previous situation.  However, you successfully navigated your way through this situation before and you are now looking at ways to move on from it. Although this is not a memory of a previous life in the sense of a reincarnation, it does show that you are laying a particular chapter of your life to rest and learning from it.

Tiny Girl and Toilet Flood
Hi Ian
I have a recurring dream in which I have a baby girl who can walk and talk although she is very small please could you tell me what it means.   I also have a recurring dream about a toilet flooding I would be grateful of your advice.
Thanks
Margaret

Dreaming about a baby girl suggests that you are working on some creative idea or plan in your waking life. This idea is something that is very close to your heart and you are keen to nurture it and help it to grow. The fact that the baby girl can walk and talk shows that your idea has legs and that you can clearly express its value.  Although the idea is a very small at the moment you know it has the potential to grow into something much larger and more valuable.

The toilet in your dreams reflects your ability to fulfil your own needs in waking life and to let go of the things that you no longer need.  The flooded toilet indicates that you are neglecting your own emotional needs as you spend much of your time looking after the needs of others.

This means that you have less time to devote to nurturing your own idea and you are finding this frustrating. Like bringing up a child, your project  is quite a time-consuming activity that demands your full attention. To ensure that your idea will grow healthily and successfully, you must put your own needs first.
