  • DREAMS DON'T TELL YOU WHAT YOU'RE EXPECTING

    Print

    Dear blog friends,

    From the end of November 2020 to February 2021, we have just spent three months reflecting on the relationship between the outside world and the inside world. For you, on this subject, I have collected and translated 6 fascinating articles, 6 articles that Christiane, over the course of time, has put on her blog with love. Dreams teach us so many surprising facts!

    Today we are going to move on to another study theme and you will go from one surprise to another.

    Yes, you will! Could you imagine it? The new topic is:

     

    Of the Happiness of Anger

    Anger!

    Anger is getting a lot of bad press today. That's the negative emotion to run away from.

    One exclaims:

    - But stay zen, my dear!

    And the other says:

    - If you're angry, my poor thing, it's because you're far from having reached Enlightenment!

    An Enlightened One is detached from these inner storms, he controls himself and remains calm, above the disturbances of this lower earth.

    Softness, serenity are the proof of a certain spiritual elevation.

    One can read for example on the Internet:

    "Anger or Zen?

    Angry attitude or Zen meditation? Their consequences are deeper than you think. Anger creates disorders of the organism. The stress it causes diminishes the quality of our immune system and makes us susceptible to infections: herpes pimples, liver disease, and, for some, a list of even worse ravages. On the contrary, the result of a session of relaxation, letting go, or sharing increases the immune defences, balances the heartbeat, lowers blood pressure. Choose your side!"

    Thus, one restrains oneself from any vigorous movement, one refrains from saying directly what one thinks, one shows oneself smooth, one does not contradict, one is kind! Oh yes... a love...

    A certain form of "Christianity" - is it that of Christ? I don't think so -, and a certain form of "Buddhism" - is it Buddha's? I don't know -, agree on this point, recommending to avoid any movement that could hurt, hurt the other or do harm.

    But this is not always the opinion of dreams. We have already studied the dream of Tania, which showed her that being mean like her sister-in-law by getting angry with her colleagues was beneficial to her.

    Dreams are the expression of nature, of life, of the instinctive force that defends its territory. And dreams don't necessarily find that anger is always that bad. You will be able to judge for yourself with this dream.

    Many women have a charming temperament, they are gentle, patient, tolerant. Their greatest desire is to maintain peace in the home. Loren is one of them.

    Never raising her voice. If she has a reproach to make, she says it nicely, with very measured words.

    She has received a very "Christian" education and she keeps in mind the words of Saint Paul:

    "Love has long patience, love is kind [...]

    it is not quickly provoked, does not impute evil, [...]

    it bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." (1)

    The famous apostle understood very well the necessity of love, he who, filled with hatred a few years earlier, helped the murderous Jews to stone the first Christians (The Bible, Acts of the Apostles, ch.7, v.58; Acts, ch.8, v.1-3; Acts, ch.26, v.9-10).

    But Loren doesn't know hate.

    Life is easy with the young woman. Yet she doesn't have an easy life. Her husband has a drinking problem, which makes him irascible, aggressive, bad. And Loren puts up with it, without saying anything.

    But dreams are watching over her, and she received this dream that she confided to me:

    Dream

    I'm sitting at a table in a bar. I see a man coming towards me. He hands me a package, it's a gift. I take it and look at it: it's a chocolate bar, the one I used to eat when I was little. It's Kohler chocolate.

    She woke up amazed.

    Let's conduct the interpretation methodically.

    The bar

    The first picture shows a place in everyday life, where one can stop and sit down for a moment of relaxation, regain strength, have something to eat.

    christiane riedel, christiane riedel dream interpreter, christiane riedel dream interpretation, christiane riedel dream interpretation school, christiane riedel dream interpretation academy, dream interpretation, marianne schertenleib, marianne schertenleib dream interpreter, anger, anger in dreams, benefits of anger, chocolate, man in dreams, man, bar

    The dreamer explains to me that she rarely goes to a bar, she doesn't have the time and finds it useless to spend money in this way.

    So this dream is about relaxing and regaining strength.

    Loren in everyday life is tired, tense, dissatisfied, without realising it. And she doesn't allow herself to take time for herself, to regain energy.

    A man brings her a chocolate bar.
    A man

    As I have often explained before, the only thing that distinguishes a man from a woman is his sex, which manifests itself in the outside world, whereas the sex of a woman is inside her body.

    So what does the penis symbolically mean? It designates what is called the phallic force, that is to say the capacity to assert oneself in the world of matter, thanks to the creative power of the idea, of thought, and thanks to the strength to fight to give form to an idea.

    christiane riedel, christiane riedel dream interpreter, christiane riedel dream interpretation, christiane riedel dream interpretation school, christiane riedel dream interpretation academy, dream interpretation, marianne schertenleib, marianne schertenleib dream interpreter, anger, anger in dreams, benefits of anger, chocolate, man in dreams, man, bar

    This man, whom the dreamer doesn't know, shows her that she has within her the power to assert herself in the outside world and to fight for a result as well. But Loren doesn't know this.

    The chocolate bar

    Who doesn't like chocolate? But Loren doesn't eat it. It's not in her habits.

    It's a dark brown substance, she tells me, that you bite into and it melts in your mouth, it's very good, it's very pleasurable and it's tonic.

    Let's recapitulate the meaning of the previous images:

    When it comes to regaining strength (the bar), the dream presents our friend with a man: her capacity for affirmation, of which she has no idea. This stranger offers her something to help her assert herself, something good, that pleases, that gives her strength.

    What is it?

    Could it be the sexual relationship with her husband? It is true that chocolate often represents the voluptuous pleasures of love.

    I'll check it out. Everything Loren said about chocolate must then also be able to be said about her love relationship with her husband.

    The young woman explained that she is not used to eating chocolate. Does this mean that she rarely makes love? No. This is not the case at all. Sexual intimacy is frequent in her couple.

    What is it then?

    It's Kohler chocolate, the chocolate Loren ate when she was little.

    The dreamer learned German in school, and still remembers it well enough to know that "die Kohle" means coal and "der Kohler" means coalman.

    Ah, Coalman chocolate, like Suchard or Nestlé chocolate.

    So why does the dream choose this brand rather than another?

    Kohler

    Isn't there a play on words? Of course there is! If you happen to speak French, you will know that "Kohler" sounds like "colère", which means anger! This chocolate is anger!

    christiane riedel, christiane riedel dream interpreter, christiane riedel dream interpretation, christiane riedel dream interpretation school, christiane riedel dream interpretation academy, dream interpretation, marianne schertenleib, marianne schertenleib dream interpreter, anger, anger in dreams, benefits of anger, chocolate, man in dreams, man, bar

    Let's do the checks:

    - Loren ate chocolate when she was little. Did she get angry as a child? "Yes," she says, she used to fight with her brothers and sisters and she was no pushover.

    - "Chocolate is good, it makes you happy and gives you strength," said Loren. What about anger?

    - "Yes," exclaimed the young woman, "when you've said what's on your heart, it's a relief, it feels good, it makes you feel better".

    So, check it out, Kohler chocolate is anger. Loren needs to taste her anger.

    The dreamer looks at me dubious, dubious. What!? She should let her anger build up and express it?

    She tells me that she often feels a shock in her stomach, every time something doesn't seem right and hurts her, but she pushes this signal away, she prevents herself from reacting to avoid conflict, she handles her emotions, she always remains calm and likeable. She shuts up.

    Well, no, no, and no! The dream offers her something else. It advises her from now on to assert herself and, in order to do so, to decide to say what is in her heart, to get angry. But then, it's not peace, no, there is going to be war in the marriage!

    Loren went home very puzzled. And it wasn't long before she had the opportunity to feel the strength that she had been pushing back inside her, and courageously, expecting a terrible scene, for once she threw a tantrum, said her disagreement, said her anger.

    And then, ... surprise... she felt relieved, liberated, at ease and full of energy.

    In front of her, her husband, dumbfounded, listened to her indignation, looked at her without saying a word. And when she fell silent, he said to her:

    - I didn't know you were so beautiful when you're angry.

    It was without irony, it was sincere, to make up for it.

    He approached her, he took her in his arms and held her close to him.

    Loren hid her face on that solid chest and in her head she heard herself say:

    - My God! If I had known! How inhibited I have been, and how stupid!

    christiane riedel, christiane riedel dream interpreter, christiane riedel dream interpretation, christiane riedel dream interpretation school, christiane riedel dream interpretation academy, dream interpretation, marianne schertenleib, marianne schertenleib dream interpreter, anger, anger in dreams, benefits of anger, chocolate, man in dreams, man, bar

    Does this mean that Loren will always have to get systematically angry? Certainly not. Dreams have come to compensate for an imbalance of which she was unaware. They advised her to follow her instinctive reaction. The external principles are valid, of course, but the internal reaction is more accurate and always better suited to the circumstances of the moment. Respecting her emotion, being faithful to her feelings, that is what the young woman must learn. And anger is one of them. It's coal from the coalman, and it gives energy, the energy of the earth.

    Christiane
    Translated by Marianne

    Dear friends, here you are informed about anger, the energy of the coalman, of coal, the energy that comes from the deep earth. Are you astonished?... Then wait for next time's dream, an extremely rare dream that fell into Christiane's hands under exceptional circumstances, it's a priceless dream!... that may make you angry...?

    See you soon!

    Les rêves ne vous disent pas ce que vous attendez

  • COFFEE, CHAMPAGNE! LONG LIVE YOU! LONG LIVE THE NEW YEAR!

    Print

    Dear blog friends,

     

    I need a cup of coffee.jpg

     

    What better way to start the New Year than with a good cup of coffee, hot and strong, to get you back on your feet, to step into the new year with lots of guts, and to live the joys and difficulties of everyday life to the fullest!

     

    Mug.jpg

     

    - A little coffee, you might say, Ok, that's not hard to do!

    - Are you sure? Have you ever thought about the enormous amount of work involved?

    - Oh really? What do you mean?

    - Well, first you have to pick the beans,

     

    Coffee cherry.jpg

     

    then dry them, roast them, grind them and finally pour water over the powder. Then a beautiful golden and fragrant beverage is poured.

    - Well, if you like, you can say it's a piece of work!

    - Ah! Here you go! It's like a dream interpretation!

    - Pardon? What do you mean?

    - Look: in an article on my blog, I have analysed in detail the coffee symbol according to the Dream Interview Method of Dr Gayle Delaney, which I have been practicing for 40 years (1); now, to make it simple, I give you here the results of the study of this metaphor :
    - when I want to interpret a dream, I collect the symbols, it's like picking the coffee beans, then,
    - when I examine these beans with the dryness of my rational intellect, it is as if I am drying them out;
    - then I pass them through the fire, looking at them with a fiery ardour and it is as if I were roasting them.

    Roasted beans.jpg

     

    - Then, when I dissect, analyse the symbol, it's as if I'm grinding the grain; and finally,
    - the result of the analysis does not leave me in a state of cold indifference, on the contrary, I look at it with a warm feeling, this is what hot water means, water symbolising feelings, hot water symbolising warm feelings.
    - And then a beverage appears, the meaning of the dream, the interpretation-coffee, ready to be savoured.
    What a job, isn't it!

    - Hum... Listen, Christiane, your whole parallel between dream interpretation and coffee to start the year, it may be nice, but you see, I prefer champagne! It's transparent, it's iced and it fizzes! Now that's an experience!

     

    Champagne.jpg

     

    - Oh my, dear friend! You couldn't say it better ! So allow me to share your opinion with enthusiasm, precisely because champagne is a bit like coffee!

    - Ah! But you're giving me that again?

    - You bet I am! You'll see: you pick grapes like coffee beans,

     

    Grapes.jpg

     

    you crush the grapes as you grind the coffee beans, you filter it and you get this clear and golden, fizzy and cheerful nectar, which offers those sparkling air bubbles that you love.
    So, you see, champagne and coffee both symbolise the process of interpreting a dream, with all the work involved.
    But you know, it's not me saying it, it's the dreams themselves! (1) And in dreams, the same metaphor also applies to wine, chocolate or beer, for example.

    - Uh-oh! Very good! And the champagne bubbles? What do you say about them?

    Bubbles.jpg

     

    - It's air, isn't it, it's air included in matter, it's spirit that sparkles in interpretation, Spirit with a capital S. Some messages in dreams really offer the effervescence of Spirit, of Divinity. You will find many examples of this on my blog (2).

    - Ah dear Christiane! With your sense of metaphor you could impress me!

    But all the same, you made me understand how the making of coffee and champagne can be a metaphor for the interpretation of dreams, and above all you made me glimpse the long work involved in interpretation.

    - That's really nice! Thank you, thank you for your appreciation!

    So, live the dreams, live the dreamers, live the dream interpretations, live the new year, and live the dream interpreters!

    Dear friends,

    This is New Year's Eve and the time has come to wish you a happy start in 2021.

    I wish you good health, a sturdy morale, the joy of living and the happiness of existing, of loving your friends and family and loving people around you. I also wish you in the background, as dreams recommend, the healthy joy of saying from time to time what you think, of denouncing, even in anger, what seems wrong to you. Paradoxically, right anger does so much good! You know, I have shown and demonstrated several times on my blog what dreams say about it. (3)

    Well, after this committed and somewhat incorrect statement, Marianne joins me in sending you our sincere and warm wishes,

    With all our hearts

    Christiane and Marianne
