My sister had the following dream last week and is curious about what
the meening of it is. Any interpertations?
My husband and I were in a truck going through a subdivision and
there was a garage sale ahead of us. I did not want to go but my
husband insisted and stopped because there was something there that
he wanted to see or was looking for. There was several long tables
full of books and as I was looking through them I noticed a paperback
book with a yellow cover. It was fairly thick and the size of a
regular hard cover book. When I picked it up I noticed that the
title of the book was "Letters by Hahn" (maiden name). It was
written in script. I opened the book and started looking through it.
There were many letters in it and many variations of the spelling of
Hahn. Half way through the book I saw my Grandmothers house and the
letter was signed by Donald Hahn (my Grandfather). I was floored
at seeing this and started reading the letter. The pages inside the
book were parchment and seemed very fragile. I do not recal what the
letter said but throughout the letter were several mentions of the
"confederacy and my parents". The writings of this letter was in
script with lots of swirls and curls. (This would not be consistent
of my Grandfathers time frame but more of the confederacy time).
As I was reading this letter all of a sudden I was back in time to
when my father was a small boy. I was the same size as my father and
he was walking down the driveway towards me and asked, "Do you want to
play with me?". I am amazed because although I am his size I am the
same mentality as I am now. I started thinking in my dream that he is
my own Dad and that he is asking me to play with him! I play with him.
He wants to build a fort and play around it all of which we both know
for some reason it would get us into trouble. Being kids, we didn't
care. In the dream, my father and I are having fun and all the time
that we are playing, I keep thinking that I am seeing my Dad as a kid
and that I am playing with him. His clothers are from the 1930's as
well as mine. He is not aware of who I am but I know who he was. I
was just another kid to him. My Grandmother starts walking down the
driveway and she looks as she looks today (age wise). There is no
recognition that my father did not realize that she did not look as
she should had at that time. All of a sudden, my father was out of
the picture and I was talking to my Grandmother as adults. I do not
remember our conversation. Suddenly, I am back at the garage sale and
it was as if time had stood still and the other people that were there
did not notice that I was gone or had returned. My husband also didn't
notice that I was gone. In the dream I am aware of what had happened
and I am standing to see if anyone had seen my disappear. No one had.
I was very much in shock about what had happened. When I woke up, I
felt like I was at the garage sale and had just returned after playing
with my father until I noticed it was just a dream.
Background info: Our father was strict and stern. Not much
attention was paid to us in child activities. We were well
provided for though. My sister does not like color yellor or
garage sales. She was currently looking for a job at the time
of this dream. There was no emotional stress in her family at
this time.
Any interpertations?

Offhand, I'd say that your sister has some repressed anger about
a lack of a playfullness your dad denied his relationship with her.
Although he may have been just as stiff and distant with you, your
sister may have placed you in the dream, playing with him, as some
jealousy she harbors as if you might have been treated gentler by him
than she. Are you the younger? Is she older? Did he mellow between
children? Try confronting that issue is you feel comfortable with
your present relationship with your sister.
the yard sale and the yellow book and confederacy angles may point
to some anger on her part that your family's history may have been
disposed of arbitrarily without her consent. Was there a general
estate sale or a complete cleaning out of a deceased family member's
house that entailed the loss of family heirlooms or records? The
yard sale may represent the trivializing and devaluing, by a family
member, of items that your sister would have cherished, if given the
chance to keep them.
I have no thoughts on yellow, other than the connatation of
"Tainted", "aged", or weathered, or perhaps even "cowardly"? BillM

Thanks for your reply. You have some good insight. I should
clarify, though, that the dream I wrote is in her words. It was
my sister who was playing with our father. Does this put a
different twist on your interpertation?
Thanks!

Only that the sibling rivalry stuff is conveniently tossed out the
old Id window. The play sequence might then stand for her yearning to
have played with him, but he never offered. Did family items get lost
in the liqudation of a household? BillM

The one thing that comes to me to add, is that yellow is the color of
the solar plexus chakra - that's in the midcenter between the second
chakra (reproductive organs - color orange) and heart chakra (color
green).

OK, now lets see what anyone can make out of this. In my dreams
the last few weeks has been a reoccuring phenomenon. I will be at
the ending of a dream sequence and find myself in a large open space,
usually outside in a yard but once in a large cavernous auditorium.
This is commonly after a running scene from a house where most of
the past dream sequence has taken place. Suddenly, I find myself
grabbing a rope?, vine, branch? (It isn't clear in the dream) and
I start swinging and soaring throughout the air, similar to the
feeling of a flying sequence in other dreams, but the difference here
is that each oscillation is higher, faster and more scary but also
more turbulent and dangerous! I find myself capable of bouncing
off building walls etc. When they started I'd be able to sense
that this was a dream and stop the dream by partially awakening.
Now, when I sense this, I try to stay "in the dream". Last night,
this occured and I stayed with it until I was flung so far and
fast at the end that I was literally tossed out of the dream! As
the dream ended, I awoke in bed, but had my entire body jump and
contort as I felt like I was about to fall into an abyss.
We have a new boxspring and mattress that's about 6" wider than
our old set and about 2" higher, but that's the only sleeping
difference of late and I'm no where near the edge of the "bed abyss"
when I awake.
Also, mostly the dreams are about myself with past family members
or friends from the past. Yes, as a child we had a big tree swing.
Yes, I used go high up in it. Yes, we even used to jump from it into
a huge pile of autumn leaves! So, the sensory feelings for the starts
of these sequences are familiar to my brain!
Frankly, I much prefer the omnipotence of flying and soaring
dreams. BillM

Nope! Quiet night, last night, avoided another case of
Mary-Lou Rettonitis!
