Strange dream

Hello, and thank you to whoever can answer me.

I dreamed last night that we were all (my brothers, my father, and the whole family) at my mother’s wake!! Her open casket revealed her silhouette, and when they were placing the casket into the hearse, it slipped and stood upright (head up), still open, but the lid did not fall.

In fact, my sweet mother passed away in November 2005, and this dream can only provide me with information that I am unable to interpret… it will be six months on the 19th since she died.

Thank you for your interpretation.

Hello Eliana,
It goes without saying that you must have been shocked when you woke up this morning. I am sorry to hear that.
This interpretation is not easy to make.
I think you are still upset about your mother's passing, which I understand.
And that it is a way of grieving.
Did you check the definition in the “glossary”? Maybe you’ll find part of the answer there.
Perhaps another member will be kind enough to help us interpret your dream.
Best regards, ClaudiaC

P.S. Since I’m also grieving... sorry, I’m in shock myself, I’m trying to help you the best I can.

Hello Eliana,

I will attempt to provide you with an analysis that I hope will meet your expectations.

Dreaming of a coffin is generally not a good thing; it usually serves as a warning against danger.
On the other hand, the fact that you recognize the deceased as your mother in most of your dreams indicates an unexpected help that allows you to get out of a difficult situation; perhaps you will be able to consider that a wish following your concerns may come true.

If an unexpected help comes to you that allows you to get out of a difficult situation, it means that currently, your loved ones and you yourselves must be facing difficulties, since you are all gathered around her.

I remember that you had posted last Sunday explaining that you had gone to the cemetery to bring her flowers on the occasion of Mother's Day in Belgium. In your prayers, would you not have asked her for advice regarding this family concern, and that through this difficult and painful dream for you, since your mother's passing is recent, she would come to communicate a message to you. The analysis I am sharing with you might be worth considering to understand this message. What do you think?

It would be interesting to hear the opinion of another member who might possibly complement my analysis.

My son had this kind of dream a while ago; he dreamed of his deceased father in a coffin. Could we possibly see what is written about it? It is also in the dreams section.

I hope I’ve managed to shed some light on things for you.

My respectful thoughts for your mother

Hello claudiac,

Glad to see you back among us and to read from you.

It is true that my waking up was rather emotional and disturbing.

It is difficult to grieve a loved one, but I pray for her every day so that she may be released from earthly attachments and ascend to higher spheres.

This dream is very disturbing, as it is the first time I have dreamed of her since her passing, especially given that we are going through a rather difficult period (the inheritance) and things are not going very well. Could this dream have any significance?

I would like to reiterate my condolences for the passing of your father, and I hope your grief will slowly ease.

Thanks for giving me the idea to check the glossary, I hadn't thought of that ;D

All my friendship and thank you for your support.

Hello Josy,

Thank you for your interpretation; indeed, we are going through a very delicate and difficult situation, and it is true that I asked him for advice regarding this situation.

But the dream, the fact that I relived his death a second time, I don’t quite understand it; on top of that, the coffin was open, which raises questions for me and leaves me quite confused.

Thank you, dear Josy, for your analysis and thoughts about her.

Hello Eliana,
I dreamed last night that we were all (my brothers, my father, and the whole family) at my mother’s wake!! Her open casket revealed her silhouette, and when they were placing the casket into the hearse, it slipped and stood upright (head up), still open, but the lid did not fall.

Thank you for your interpretation. Quoted by Eliana.

Reliving your grief a second time is normal, as it is simply meant to bring you something and help you become aware of a stage in your grieving process. It is true that your mother’s death is still very recent—I mean fresh—since November is not far from May 2006.

A coffin represents what we must forget to maintain mental balance. Generally, seeing a person in a coffin signifies the end of a feeling. It is an obvious break with that person.

Big changes are coming for you; you are in the process of healing the grief of your mother, Eliana… be gentle with yourself, Eliana.

Another interpretation is possible: seeing your mother in the coffin may also represent a part of yourself, your feminine side… a period of great change… one must eliminate and reject what is dead or outdated within oneself… this may coincide with a period of exhaustion, preparing for a great inner renewal. What is in the coffin symbolizes what must be eliminated from your life.

Rolande

Thank you, dear Eliana. For me, it is still too fresh. I am very upset, but I cannot talk about it here on the forum. And I thank you for your understanding.

All I can say is that I understood my father without words and that I was very close to him, and I will continue to be so for a long time to come…

Your dream of your own can signify several aspects, as Josy and Rolande rightly say. I think you will find the answer on your own.

Best regards, ClaudiaC

Hello Eliana,
I think that since it was Mother's Day, you thought of her, and that the death is still very recent.
The fact that the coffin opened up made you grieve by saying yes, she will no longer be there, and you regret that she is not alive.
Keep her alive at all costs, morally since there is no physical way. Please accept my sincere condolences.
I kiss you tenderly

Hello everyone, my sincere condolences to you both, Claudiac and Eliana.

In my opinion, according to the dream, it simply represents your current state of mind. You are in the process of grieving, you are stuck, and you refuse to close the coffin. The message: let yourself go in order to release all your sadness. And remember that death is not an end in itself, just a renewal.
To explain death to my children (the loss of a brother), I told them that when Mom sends you on vacation to Grandma’s, she decides how long you stay, and when she decides it’s time, she tells you to come back home.
It’s the same thing, except you have to replace “mama” with “God.”

If it can help you.
We need to move on while continuing to communicate with them. There is a sense of loss, as with any breakup, but I tell myself it’s only a matter of time; I’ll see them again anyway, because I have to go there too. But they are always present in me, because I love them.

Have a good day

Thank you all for your support.

I must confess that since my dear mother’s passing, I have only cried during the first two weeks; since then, I no longer know how to cry. When I look at her (photo), I know that her spirit is still with us, although for some time now I no longer feel her presence, and I know that she must move toward that light and fulfill her path and her mission up there.

Part of me went with her, yes, you’re right, Roland, her physical presence is a very painful loss, but knowing that her spirit is still here brings me joy, and I also believe that I will join her one day.

It is necessary that a renewal takes place within me, because everything that is behind me must be eliminated, for it is true that I am exhausted both psychologically and physically, but I have difficulty eliminating certain things or thoughts, especially regarding my father.

For my mother, I am at peace and happy, as she was suffering greatly, and this release from her physical pain leaves my heart lighter, as I could no longer bear to see her suffer so much.

I am infinitely grateful for your messages and interpretations, as well as your support.

Big kisses :-*

Hello Eliana

I just came across your dream, and I think I can guess that the fact that the whole family is gathered in front of the coffin suggests that it is a family issue, but you point it out when talking about the inheritance. The most important thing is that the lid remains open; in my view, this means that she will not be able to close the door on this world (the open lid corresponding to an open door) and ascend toward the light until you and your family have resolved this inheritance. There you go, I hope this helps you.

Kind regards/Umberto

This morning, dear Eliana, I invite you to go see a message I am in the process of writing... in the "little girl's message" section, you know the one related to my father. I became aware of something wonderful in relation to my father...

Rolande

Hello Lemaire,

Thank you for this additional information, which had been on my mind this morning!! As long as this inheritance issue is not resolved, she will not leave.

Thank you, Lemaire.

Good evening Eliana,
The fact that the coffin was open, the fact that your mother slips on her feet, so a certain grounding as long as this problem is not resolved, that's true.
Kisses, ladysally

Thank you, ladysally, I now fully understand the message of my dream.

Thanks to all of you, I am infinitely grateful.
My heart is lighter and more at peace.

I kiss you.

Eliana

I was touched by your messages, ELiana. I don’t often post on the site, but I want to express my full compassion and support to you.

Things are what they are, and we must accept them as they are.

But that is not obvious. In fact, you need a renewal; I would like to tell you that this renewal is within you, and you must allow the energies within you to develop, not hold them back, but set them free.

I pulled a card for you from the Osho Tarot, here it is:
This is the path of Zen: not to express things completely. This must be understood; it is a very important methodology. Not saying everything leaves the listener the possibility to complete the thought.
All the answers are incomplete. The master has simply given you a direction… At the moment you reach the limit, you will know what will remain. In this way, if someone tries to understand Zen intellectually, they will fail. It is not an answer to the question but something more than the answer. It points to reality itself…
The nature of the Buddha is not something very far away – your very consciousness is the nature of the Buddha. And your self-awareness can be the witness of all that constitutes the world. The world will come to an end, but the mirror will remain, reflecting the void.

Osho Joshu: The Lion’s Roar Chapter 5

Comment:
Here the last piece of the puzzle is put in place, at the location of the third eye, the place of inner perception.
Even in the ever-changing flow of life, there are moments when we reach a point of completion. In these moments, we are able to have an overview, the combined impression of all the pieces that have occupied our attention for so long. At this stage, we can either be desperate because we do not want the situation to come to an end, or be grateful and accepting of the fact that life is full of endings and new beginnings.
What has absorbed your time and energy up until now is now coming to an end. By completing it, you will make room for something new to begin. Use this interval to celebrate both—the end of the old and the arrival of the new.

Dear Eliana,

I think your dear and sweet mother came to give you a message. I know it’s painful for you, but at the same time, she would want to protect you.

And I am convinced that she does.

Best regards, ClaudiaC

Thanks for your post, Tom.

It is true that there are things we cannot change and that we must accept, often against our will.

Best regards, ClaudiaC

Thank you, claudiac and tom, for your support.

I accept her departure; I think that deep down in my heart, I wished for her to stop suffering, and that has been done.

I still struggle to accept that I will no longer see her in person, but deep down in my soul and heart, she is still present, more so than ever.

It is important to me to pray for her, knowing that even though she was, during her lifetime, a devoted, kind, compassionate, and loving woman, so that she may leave this world and ascend toward the light, but I understand that through my dream, she is protecting and watching over us given the current situation...
It is time for me to free myself from my worries and fears, for a renewal to take hold, and for certain present but latent energies to develop, as you say so well, Tom, and thank you for your kindness and for doing a reading for me, which helps me for the future.

Thank you for your support and compassion, all of you.

all my friendship

Eliana
