Hi,

Anyone that read the other thread about my situation and relationship will have the background to this question already.

At the end of the discussion, Trojan gave some concise advice..or more, a very accurate observation. This has lead me to try to ask different questions, to understand myself better..and my own impulses and impressions.

I mentioned in that thread that I was moved by yet another dream of my "missing friend". Previously, in the months before, when he was very bitter and angry towards me (and life in general I believe) I had three dreams in which he was very angry with me. Those didn't surprise me at all..as I knew he was angry so I saw it as a subconscious reflection of what I already knew.

Then I stopped thinking of him that much for a few months. Most recently, not at all.

Last week I dreamed about him again, but this time it was more profound, it was like the dreams I had of him in the past, always before a significant event (dare I say "psychic" dreams? I am no psychic though but with him..the dreams are of that nature)

So, suddenly last week I dreamed of him but instead of anger it was beautiful. He came to me and told me "things have changed in my life. Circumstances have changed. It's ok now, I'm not angry with you anymore." Then he told me to look up a restaurant, he said "find out the name of the city the restaurant is in". So in the dream I looked it up and the name of the city was, "Union".

I thought this was symbolically significant.

Now, in an effort to understand why I am so bound to him, on an energetic soul level. I decided to ask "What was that dream trying to tell me?

It answered: 59.3.4 leading to 44

I like Hilary's translation on the Hexagram:

it is as if a great thaw brought the floods, and everything solid were swept away. All the walls – whether they divided, contained or sheltered – are gone
.

The lines here are:
Line 3

‘Dispersing your self
Without regrets.’
Line 4

‘Dispersing your flock,
From the source, good fortune.
Dispersing gains the hilltop,
No barbarian has occasion to think of this.’

This is my interpretation of the reading taking the context of the dream into consideration.

He and I have been blocked by his anger and my fear. In the dream he said "something has changed. It is OK now"

I have had no news whatsoever from him so this information in the dream, could not come from ME. I believe it came from him. As other info about him has before via dreams.

I see this as meaning that walls have dropped and a new energy has entered the situation. One that could lead to transformation. Also, that we both have reconnected to the source and by that, to our true selves?

But why does that lead to 44? 59 seems spiritual a shift of energies, 44 seems so physical and primal. What is the connection between those two hexagrams here?

The only connection I can see is that 59 speaks of energy flows and dispersal, dissolving of walls and borders and many other things...and Hilary's comment on 44 just happens to be:
"What would be an adequate response to this new energy?

I think this is very interesting..(but we all think our own readings are "oh so interesting" ;)

I asked then, "What CAUSED the dream?" - in other words, what was the catalyst?

Answer
49 Radical Change
Lines 2, 4 and 6

Line 2

‘Your own day, so make radical change
And set out to bring order: good fortune, no mistake.’
Line 4

‘Regrets vanish, there is truth and confidence.
Changing mandate, good fortune.’
Line 6

‘Noble one transforms as a leopard,
Small people radically change their faces.
Setting out to bring order: pitfall.
Settling with constancy: good fortune.

there's an argument going on elsewhere on the forum and it's so amusing to watch that I am side-tracked. But when we get done tarring and feathering Tali (poor thing), if anyone wants to discuss the relation of energies between 59 and 44..that would be cool ;)

I think rather obviously 59 is the dispersal of energies leading to the primal encounter of 44..in a way, this is describing what happened when you dreamt of your ex...the mist cleared and you encountered his energy. I think it is a beautiful dream and I certainly believe dreams like that can be valid messages from one psyche/soul to another.

But what is it you do with this? I dont think it means anything in particular can be done, or should be done, or that anything necessarily will transpire between you on the physical plane. If I were you, I would simply take it to heart and be at peace with the message. It is nice to think that "Union" could take place on the physical plane- and it could - but in the broader sense, the Union seems to already be in place. I would tend to think he is at peace with you and not angry anymore.

The effect of your writing the story ,by the way , seemed to be so aptly described by the 23 >18. You were making peace with him in your own heart, you were stripping the facts down to the bare essentials, in a sense freeing yourself of the past and healing your relationship by the act of wrting the story. The reading in this thread seems to say "mission accomplished".

PS: I also think that dreams sometimes speak of energy below the surface. IOW, on some level , the forgiveness and the union are in place. It could be possible that the level is below the conscious level of your ex, but that doesnt make it less valid.

a woman's dreams are valuable messages from the heart and are meant to be taken to heart -and held there in sacred understanding-and to be nourished by. Let the person who feels forgiven and utterly loved - you -be the one who goes forth from this point. The gift of the dream was this, for you to be that person.

A quick comment. I asked a friend once, a psychologist and long time meditator, if she thought that people conversed (unaware) on a subconscious level (the implication being that we weren't aware of the conversation). She looked at me as if I had just asked if the sky was blue, and said, "well, yes, of course" in the sweetest, gentlest voice.

When you comment that the change had to have come within your friend, I'm thinking that it might or it might not have. Perhaps you had one of those subconscious conversations, and one or the other or both of you came to an understanding?

Hi Bamboo and emc2cme,

I agree that souls/psyches communicate via the dream plane. Bamboo, your interpretation was the most helpful so far. It's sometimes difficult to come on this forum and say "Hi, strangers, please understand why this is important enough for me to ask about and then need to discuss with others." I notice that when I read through the forum and other people's questions, I can easily fly over it, not really connecting with that person's experience. Until I stop, take a pause and try to feel what they must be feeling, but more importantly , why they are feeling that way.

So I'm always thankful when someone has a better, more clear understanding of my hexagram. This site isn't called "clarity" for nothing. :)

Trojan made a good point the other day about what my original question was really about - that was the first step to try to get myself back in alignment as this whole experie

Bamboo, I really like this part
