I know we are not supposed to interpret dreams, but I’ve notice that I frequently have dreams that I am uncontrollably sobbing or weeping over my circuмstances in life. The last one I had struck me harder because in my dream my children were comforting me while I wept.
I do consider myself a cheerful person but have many personal problems that leave me terribly sad in my heart. Family problems you could say.
I also know that The Church is suffering and my heart is most definitely wounded for Her as well.
So I am wondering if there are others out there who sometimes weep in their dreams.
I often research the meaning of my dreams using Dreammoods.com
It uses psychological symbols and metaphors to interpret your dreams and has a vast data base on what a dream means.
It is not prophesy or occult, it is based on psychology. In fact psychologists treating people for trauma often think dreams or nightmares are relevant and have a piece of the puzzle in them.
For instance one time I dreamed of witches when I intended to go to Mass after not going there in a long time.
I did not go. The meaning of the dream was that I had bad experiences with "cruel and heartless women".
Another example. When I started posting on Cathinfo I dreamed I was in a passport office, and about something else which I cannot recall just now. The meaning of the dream was that I was "in a process of self discovery" and questioning my "identity" or something. It relates to whether or not I go back to being a practicing Catholic.
I check my dreams all the time.
Back when I was religious I used to have dreams of being in ancient monasteries and receiving communion often.
