Do Your Dreams Have Meaning? by Psychic Jane

In my house we refer to them as “pickle dreams.” The dreams where you wake up thinking, “What the heck was that about?” and spend the rest of the day remembering snippets, asking yourself what kind of weird message spirit trying to give you. Let me give you some background.  

My youngest son, who is 4, is very open and curious about spirit and all things connected. It makes for some really interesting conversations.  A few months back as he was laying down for sleep, he looked over at me sitting next to his bed and said, “Mom I don’t want to dream about pickles anymore, I don’t know what the angels are trying to tell me and I’m bored and want a new dream. Can you tell them no more pickles?”  

He wasn’t clear about how pickles played into his dreams other than a passing reference to dancing pickles, just that he wanted no more “pickle dreams.” Besides the fact that he assumes that mom can get spirit to do whatever she wants, I was intrigued by his assumption that because it was a dream it must have some meaning. In talking to him though, I realized my mistake. When talking about dreams I had always emphasized the spiritual aspects. Communication from spirit and clarity is often given through our dreams. Spirit is able to use our subconscious and metaphorical imagery to convey deep truths and important messages.  

I grow a rather large garden and we had an overabundance of cucumbers this year, so for the previous week I had canned close to 50 jars of pickles. The point that the whole house smelled like vinegar and pickles. I suppose that a pickle dream could represent transformation, or perhaps spirit might want to tell someone that even though their contribution is small they actually have a big impact (think how much better a hamburger tastes with really good pickles on it). 

But then again, sometimes a pickle is just a pickle.

After a week of our house being filled to the brim with all things pickle, is it really that surprising that my family had even begun to dream about pickles? I still laugh thinking about it.  Sometimes a dream is just a dream. It really can be just our brain working out the information from our day. 

But sometimes it isn’t. 

Many times it really is our angels or guides trying to impart information to us that will benefit and help us on this mortal journey.  The challenge for most people is to figure out which is which. I think my son’s example benefits us all. When you aren’t sure what it is, ask spirit and ask someone on this plane whom you trust. It might be a family member or a trusted advisor at PathForward psychics. We have a number of advisors who are truly gifted at dream interpretation.  Either way, getting feedback from someone can help you interpret the message and receive insight, or maybe just see that a pickle is just a pickle.
