Omens, Lucid Dreams and Spirit Totems

An omen is an especially powerful dream symbol or sign that occurs during REM sleep, or is perceived in your waking world when you have alpha and theta brainwave activity in harmony. The meditation music I'm producing with my husband, Timo Haakana, is created with specific numerological sequences and sound energy harmonics that automatically align and your chakras as you listen. Meditating with the "Alignment of the Divine" music will strengthen and balance your chakras, stimulate rapid spiritual and energetic healing, and open your Third Eye and Crown chakras for psychic and spiritual work. During these transcendental states of consciousness that are created by the powerful compositions, you will experience alpha and theta brainwave activity in perfect harmony and be able to see and interpret omens, clairvoyant visions, and the information obtained through remote viewing or scrying.

Omens are very simple and easily identifiable signs and symbols that are categorized as major or minor, depending on the significance of the message conveyed by each omen. There are only a few omens in dreams that are considered major omens, and these include:

• floating, levitating, hovering, falling or flying through the air with or without the use of a personal floatation or vehicle or device of some type
• being partially or completely nude or exposed in public
• being unable to speak or make any sound in response or reaction to any dream stimulus
• being unable to physically move away from a threat, real or imagined danger, or upsetting situation in a dream
• the illusion of waking up within a dream
• distortions or anomalies in space and time either combined with or independent from lucid dream experiences
• extra sensory perception or any sensory impressions not common to your usual dream experiences
• technicolor and hyper-saturated colours
• moving photographs or artwork that comes to life
• blood
• climbing up or down
• mythological, fantasy or religious symbolism

All omens, whether they are major or minor ones, are connected to prophetic dreams. A prophetic dream is one that contains information perceived by the Third Eye chakra during your REM sleep or transcendental meditation. All prophecies fall into four categories: precognitive, warnings, devotional (somehow inspiring the dreamer to devote themselves to a spiritual belief and path) or insightful (containing alternative perspectives about a situation or experience the dreamer is consciously aware of and working on in real life). All omens in your dreams and visions will either be prophetic messages that are relevant to the larger community, audience or the world, or they are only relevant to the individual perceiving the omens. Most prophetic dreams contain information that is relevant to the next year or two, but occasionally people dream major prophecies that can come to pass much later in time.

Someone recently shared a profound house and self dream experience that he remembers from several years ago. During the time he had the dream, he was an average college aged young adult who still lived at his parents' home. In his dream, the line between reality and the dream realm was blurred by the major omen of waking up within a dream. Whenever you dream that you wake up and start going about your morning routine as if it were any other day, your dream experience will be more profound and more likely to involve lucid dreaming.

A lucid dream is one where the dreamer is aware of the fact that they're dreaming and everything they see and experience is taking place in the dream realm. During lucid dreams, you can control and manipulate your surroundings in unnatural or supernatural ways, and you experience extra sensory perception or ESP.

Included in the following text are the details and memories of the lucid self dream, as they were described to me for the purpose of interpretation and analysis. That interpretation will follow the dream experience and I will explain the reasons for my conclusions.

The dream began with the experience of waking up normally in bed, rising up and emerging from the bedroom. I noticed that I could hear random talking, noises, and sounds like a party coming from outside. I was happy and thought that my friends had come over to celebrate with me when my parents were away.

I went to the bathroom to take care of my normal business and the illusion of normal life was shattered when I opened the door and saw a polar bear sitting on the toilet! I quickly apologized for interrupting him and said that I hadn't realized the bathroom was occupied and then I closed the door.

At some point after I shut the bathroom door, I realized that this couldn't really be happening and I must be dreaming. I went outside for a cigarette, knowing I was dreaming and wanting to explore the experience of smoking in a lucid dream. I thought that if I focused my attention on the cigarette then I could make it grow longer with each puff instead of burning up like it does in real life. I was paying such close attention to the cigarette and I was amazed by my ability to manipulate the dream reality.

When I finally took my eyes off the smoke, I looked out across the field on the other side of the road from the spot where I was standing. I saw that the field was filled with lions, males and females. They were eating flesh and had blood on their mouths. I observed them and became anxious because I realized I didn't hear my friends or their party anymore and I thought the lions ate them.

I thought that while I focused my attention on manipulating the cigarette, the lions attacked and devoured my friends. At that point I switched into survival mode because the lions had seen me too and slowly rose up and began to stalk me. They moved slowly to the left and right, surrounding me, and I noticed they were hunting me like their prey. Scared and panicking, I ran into the house and didn't dare to look back at them. I went inside, closed the door, and began locating stuff to defend myself.

I reinforced the window with the kitchen table and created a barricade in the front rooms of the house. I stood in the kitchen worrying and afraid that I would have to defend myself against bloodthirsty lions, I looked through the open doorway to the living room and saw the polar bear sitting on the sofa.

He was watching tv and when he saw me, he smiled and waved and called for me to join him. I sat with the bear and realized that he wasn't afraid because he could easily handle any of those lions, and he could protect me as well. I felt safe and watched tv with him, and there was a documentary about the desert on tv. As I watched tv, I somehow got sucked into the documentary and was in the middle of the desert with the polar bear!

Soon the bear walked ahead of me and I followed, then I walked beside him after a little while. We eventually came to a point where we were faced with two different paths: one on the left rose up a steep hill and the one on the right stayed flat and level. The bear and I walked up the left path. When I reached the top of the cliff, I could see the right path down about fifteen feet from me.

Down on the other path I saw my dog who died almost two years before, but he was alive and he saw me too! He raised his tail and wagged it, and tried to run up to greet me. He was stopped by the cliff face but he tried to run and jump up to me. I even bent down to try to catch him if he got close enough to me. Finally the dog gave up. He dropped his tail and turned away. I didn't feel any emotion as I stood there and watched, I simply realized that he was smart enough to give up despite how happy he was to see me after all this time.

That's when I noticed the polar bear was gone because I stopped paying attention to it while I was watching the dog. Then I discovered myself at the pyramids and approached one. I saw strange shining, multicoloured and partially translucent stairs floating in mid air and I began to climb them.

As I climbed up the stairs to the top of the pyramid each step became more laboured and exhausting than the last. Then I began to feel the presence of God or a superior, supreme power. During the final steps of my tough climb up the pyramid, there was an intensely bright light at the top that was mind blowing. I began to feel so honoured by the God presence there that I didn't dare look to it.

When I took that last step the power was overwhelming and strong. It hit me and I fell to my knees and cried out to the infinite presence. I bowed down in humility and reverence. It was such an intense experience and I had mixed feelings of awe, fear and respect about it. Finally I pulled myself together and quit crying, then I looked up at God and saw that it was me shining there like a mirror. Then I woke up.

My message of this dream is found like all other interpretations by breaking down the dream and examining each element, symbol, omen, and experience independently. After pondering each piece of the dream on its own, I then take another general overview of the dream with these ideas in mind. Í broke down this dream as follows:

• HOUSE, friends, family away
• party or celebration
• bathroom interruption
• anthropomorphizing of the polar bear on toilet
• smoking cigarettes
• manipulating dream reality
• threatening wild lions that have killed friends
• being hunted and stalked
• retreat to house and barricade
• protecting the kitchen window and seeing the polar bear in the living room
• sitting and watching tv with the friendly polar bear
• being transported into the tv
• journey by foot and companionship
• a choice of two paths
• the harder choice and perspective from the top
• the dead dog trying to reach the top
• the disappearance of the polar bear and solo journey
• the pyramid and multicoloured, translucent stairs
• climbing the stairs
• bright light and presence of God
• bowing down, reverence, awe and fear
• reflection and mirror

My Interpretation

Because the dream begins in your house where you currently lived at the time of the dream, this is a self dream that was relevant to you at the time that you dreamed it. Waking up and being aware that you were dreaming during some parts of your dream indicates that lucid dreaming was involved and this is a prophetic dream about your self. You had the idea of your childhood friends in your dream but did not actually see them, which means you were thinking about emotional and spiritual regression at the time of the dream. Your strong dislike for responsibilities and demands were prompting you to consider childish and immature actions, but you had not acted upon those ideas or fantasies.

You also had the idea that your parents were away in your dream. To dream of family is a message that there will be a general improvement in all your affairs, and parents convey messages about authority, guidance, nurturing and love. In your dream, your parents are away, which refers to your fears of failing in your responsibilities and disappointing them, and losing their love.

You went to use the bathroom in your dream, which indicates that you were in need of emotional release in your life at the time of the dream, but that release was blocked or prevented. Interrupting someone in the bathroom is a message of discovering the hidden and intimate secrets of another, but the person you interrupted was in fact an animal. In dreams, animals are omens connected to business and material resources. Polar bears in particular are white, so they relate to purity and spirituality. The behaviour of this particular polar bear in your prophetic dream indicates that it is a Spirit Totem, an animal spirit that acts as a spirit guide for you temporarily or permanently.

One of the most startling elements of your lucid dream was the stage when you smoked a cigarette outside and manipulated your reality with mental concentration. Smoking cigarettes, pipes, and cigars in a dream, or observing someone else smoking, is a very lucky omen that indicates a prosperous time or cycle of abundance and blessings is coming your way. In your dream you manipulated reality to make the cigarette--or fortune--increase instead of decrease as you used it! This is a crystal clear message that you can and probably were actively manipulating your reality in your waking life, in order to create a flow of abundance as you step forward into your independence as a grown adult leaving home for the first time.

The lions were a representation of the fears you had at the time, especially fears about financial failure and betrayal or disappointments from your friends. In addition, the party represents messages of good news and celebration in your social sphere. Your friends were eaten by the lions, which is an omen that you would receive bad news regarding your friends or experience a loss, betrayal, deception or conflict with a childhood friend in the future. The friend in question was most likely in your thoughts during the dream as an impression even if you didn't actually see him.

Retreating into your home as a reaction to danger and the threat of betrayal, signifies that you are the kind of person who withdraws socially and relies on himself during times of social trials and hardships. The kitchen table is a sacred place like an altar, where you receive food and nourishment. This represents your spiritual nourishment as well as your loving and supportive relationship with your family. In the dream, you used the altar of spiritual nourishment to reinforce the window of (or outward perception of) family bonds.

You saw your Spirit Totem again while you were standing in your kitchen, or experiencing the love and protection of your family. This tells me the polar bear spirit came to guide you through the transition from your life at home with your family and your journey into independence. This Spirit Totem is most likely still with you, as you have only been out of the family home for a little more than five years. Your Totem is most likely preparing to leave you soon now, which is why your thoughts are drawn back to this powerful dream right now.

When you watched tv with the bear, you felt safe, secure and protected. This part of the dream is a clear message that you're safe from your fears and perceived threats as long as you walk with Spirit. This message is profound and is repeated throughout the dream. This dream informs you that your fears of failure and abandonment will not become reality, and it also tells you that your ability to manipulate the flow of abundance and prosperity, will be the source of your future success.

Watching the documentary with the Totem is a message that you will learn and grow a lot with the assistance, guidance and companionship of your Totem. Transporting through the tv to the desert symbolises success and rewards as the direct result of your own hard work that the Totem would guide you through.

The choice of the two paths is also a particularly significant part of your dream. The right path represents the easy life and good times with good friends while the left path is the harder choice that promises much more spiritual growth and personal attainment for the gruelling hard work it demands. You chose the left path, which tells me you're the type of person who seeks challenges, new experiences and sacred knowledge of occult mysteries. You don't shy away from the easy road, but you definitely don't turn down opportunities for spiritual evolution.

When you're at the top of the cliff, you see your old faithful companion, the dog that had died earlier. This is a message that the dog's spirit was leaving you at that time, and wanted to say goodbye to you because he could not continue to travel with you in your spiritual journey. The dog's spirit was replaced by the polar bear Totem, and you were also confronting your old ideas and ways of doing things in your youth.

The Totem had disappeared because you weren't paying attention to him, and this is another reference like the cigarette smoking earlier in the dream. You have a powerful belief that you can control your reality by focusing and concentrating on certain things, and you were concerned at the time of the dream that you could be focusing too much attention on the wrong things.

Finally your spiritual journey continues on your own, which tells you that you were ready for the independent life ahead of you at the time of the dream. The pyramid is a truly significant dream symbol that must never be ignored or overlooked. Pyramids are shown with the number four in numerology, and pyramids are messages of foreign affairs and possibly travel to distant countries, and also conveys ideas of time and timelessness and immortality. Because of the connection with alien architects and visitors, pyramids in the dream realm are built upon science fiction, the modern mythology of technological evolution. Pyramids can also express messages of celestial deities and gods, or the ancient wisdom of the past and Ascended Masters. Pyramids are a connection or stairway between Earth and Heaven, and most dreams involving pyramids are the soul seeking adventures of your Dream Self's spiritual journey.

Vivid and intense colours and light in a dream represent your chakras and your spiritual energy. You saw multicoloured translucent stairs rising up the pyramid, which indicates an increase of prosperity, fortune, success and personal affairs. The multi or technicolor aspect of the floating stairs suggests hyper-saturated exaggerated improvements in your life, especially in foreign affairs, travel, coming of age, and business.

You climb up the floating stairs in the dream, which is another major omen that represents overall improvements in your life coming after the time you had the dream, and the profound and prevailing experience of spiritual evolution and discovery. You were seeking truth and wisdom but were still lacking experience at the time you had this profound prophetic dream. Over the following year in your life, you went through many changes and transitions but you were successful in your life because of your own ability to manipulate your reality through lucid dreaming, meditation, and magick. Your polar bear Totem is moving on from your life right now but is trying to remind you of your ability to manipulate the flow of abundance so that you increase your resources as you use them, rather than decrease them or create a void or lack of resources in your life. Pay attention to your Dream Self over the next few months and watch for a new Totem or spirit guide coming into your life.

Bright light and perceiving the divine in your dream means that you had the opportunity to experience enlightenment, sacred gnosis, rare joy and contentment with your whole life, and spiritual growth achieved through acceptance and intellectual pursuits. In your dream you worship the divine and this indicates that you are enthusiastic in your spiritual quests and you feel a great deal of respect and powerful emotions regarding God, but you are not sure what to believe about God. The mirror at the end of your dream may seem like a gnostic discovery or revelation about yourself, but that's a false interpretation. Perceiving your reflection or a mirror in your dream is an omen about trust and betrayal in your personal relationships, especially friendship bonds.

My conclusion is that you had this powerful prophetic dream when you were about to take one of the most important steps in your whole life: moving out into the world on your own. The dream promised great success, and in the years following that dream, you certainly have achieved many great things in your career and personal life combined. You make your family proud and you continue to seek wisdom and experience, especially in your endless spiritual quest. This dream contained most of the major omens which indicates the highly prophetic and significant meaning of the dream and you can still benefit from the guidance and insight in your waking life even now. There are more than one reference in this dream to the deception, betrayal, loss or disappointment relating to one or more of your childhood friends, and this is a significant message warning you to be very cautious of the people you choose to call friends and let into your personal life. However, do not let this serious warning cause you to avoid socializing in general or withdraw from public life.
