Sonhei que a minha avó falecida recentemente tinha voltado. Conversamos na cozinha enquanto ela adiantava um almoço. Ela falou por alto como era o mundo dos mortos. Não era de todo um lugar desagradável, porém também não era exactamente perfeito. Aparentemente aquilo que consegues em vida na terra tem um reflexo no além e há umas coisas que devemos conseguir em vida. Supostamente terrenos ou habitação enquanto vivo traduz-se em terreno e habitação após a morte. E quem não os conseguiu em vida, de alguma forma tem de trabalhar e servir após a morte para os poder obter lá. Obviamente que o espaço é ilimitado no além, mas por algum motivo existe trabalho e posse também nessa dimensão. Perguntei por curiosidade se algum dos herois semi-divinos se encontrava no além e se eram reais, por exemplo se Hercules se encontrava entre os mortos. Ela confirma que Hércules se encontra no além e que pelos vistos ele é totalmente dourado e anormalmente resplandescente. Entretanto ela teve de ir embora (aparentemente almas que efectivamente cruzaram o além tem tempo limitado para agir neste mundo). Pelos vistos os mortos descobrem que morreram e sabem que estão mortos ao fim de um tempo após a morte. Eles sentem algumas saudades dos vivos que para eles é como se nós fossemos os mortos e portanto estamos para além do alcance deles (embora eles tenham mais facilidade de contactar o nosso mundo do que nós temos). Vieram busca-la uns "mediadores" de aparência completamente humana (mas que por instinto soube que não o eram). Eles disseram que estava na altura da despedida, que ela tinha de ir por agora visto o tempo de visita se ter esgotado. Eles também conversaram comigo, com curiosidade perguntei se os Deuses existem e eles confirmaram que sim. Perguntei-lhes também se era verdade que os Deuses tinham nomes diferentes nas várias linguas e culturas do mundo mas sendo sempre os mesmos individuos. Eles responderam que muitos sim, aliás a maioria/generalidade era o caso, mas não eram todos os casos e também havia muitas excepções e especificidades. O tempo acabou e eles próprios tinham de ir, confiei-lhes a minha avó e eles desceram o elevador
Your dream presents a rich tapestry woven with emotions, memories, and philosophical musings on life, death, and the connections that transcend both. Let’s unpack the symbolic meanings behind the various elements in your dream for a more detailed interpretation.
The return of your deceased grandmother suggests a deep longing for connection and guidance. Grandmothers often symbolize wisdom, nurturing, and familial bonds. In this dream, her presence could indicate your need for comfort as you process her passing and reflect on the lessons she imparted. The kitchen—a traditional space of nourishment and togetherness—further emphasizes this warmth and security. It represents a time for bonding, sharing stories, and receiving guidance.
Your discussion about the world of the deceased hints at your thoughts and feelings regarding mortality and what lies beyond. The idea that the afterlife reflects one's earthly accomplishments suggests that you're grappling with the legacy you wish to leave behind. This part of the dream might represent a subconscious examination of your life choices and their long-term impacts. It encourages you to consider what you value most and what you strive to achieve during your time.
Your grandmother's explanation about the need to earn a place in the afterlife mirrors earthly struggles and ambitions. It can symbolize feelings of inadequacy or anxieties about your achievements. The afterlife being tied to one’s life reflects the belief that our actions, values, and material possessions carry significance beyond our physical existence. This hints at a desire for understanding about what constitutes a 'worthwhile' life and could be prompting you to assess your priorities and actions while alive.
Your inquiry about Hercules and the affirmation of his presence in the afterlife introduces themes of heroism and the archetypes we aspire to. Hercules, symbolizing strength, courage, and resilience, points to qualities you may admire or wish to embody. His resplendence in your grandmother's description could represent the idealization of influences from your past, suggesting that you see a hero's spirit within your heritage. This may also indicate a desire for guidance from those who embody strength and virtue, especially during challenging times.
The “mediators” in your dream serve as a bridge between realms, enhancing the idea of communication being possible across the divide of life and death. Their human appearance but non-human essence suggests an exploration of the unknown and the mystical aspects of existence. Their acknowledgment of your questions about the existence of gods highlights a quest for understanding the nature of divine entities in relation to human experience. It signals an openness to exploring spirituality and the collective consciousness that transcends cultures and languages.
The time limit on your grandmother's visit underlines the transitory nature of life and communication. The idea that the dead eventually come to terms with their mortality reflects the acceptance we all must grapple with. The emotional weight of the farewell indicates unresolved feelings, a yearning for more time, and perhaps the realization of life’s impermanence. Trusting the mediators with your grandmother embodies the love and care you hold for her, emphasizing familial bonds that surpass even death.
In essence, your dream appears to be a profound reflection on connection, loss, and the journey of life. It illustrates your yearning for wisdom from those who have passed, while also encouraging you to reflect on your own life choices and the legacy you wish to forge. This dream might be prompting you to engage more deeply with your feelings, seeking understanding and acceptance of your life's path while nurturing the relationships and qualities that inspire you. Embrace this experience as a guide, respecting the transitions in life while finding strength in your memories and aspirations.
