One Explanation For Deja Vu - A Remembered Dream

When I'm engaged in a psychic reading, I'm actually daydreaming on behalf of my client. The fascinating by-product of associating with dreams, (either the nighttime or the daytime type), is that occasionally we step through a portal in time. Our daydreams offer us a symbolic version of a future reality.

I was pleased to hear a new client recently describe her psychic reading with me as "like being in a curious dream". It's my practice to start a client's session by describing whatever psychic impressions come to me, on my own, without his or her input. I do this so that my dream mind can have a chance to independently weigh in on our discussion.

For this particular client, I said, "I see ambition in you. I see you on a mountain, facing a challenge... joining a new group. This is a rewarding time, but it is filled with anxiety. You have a very unique story to tell about how you spend and earn your money. I see foreign travel for you."

She subsequently revealed she had quit her job and was set to go to Africa for a year to work for an educational organization. And she would be living on a mountain for a year! My "dreaming mind" sent visions that matched with her life's experience.

I imagined another client as "holding back the floodgates." Of this woman's work, I said, "I see you wearing a Donna Karan suit... over a t-shirt that says Women's Equality Movement... Behind you are a bunch of law books. One says 'Criminalization' on the binder. The books are of advocacy... they're heavily laden."

This woman subsequently revealed to me that she studied law and was working on obtaining a grant to help stop child prostitution.

Active psychic daydreaming will not always translate so precisely or literally though. I once read for a woman about her boyfriend of 18 months. I started by saying, "In my imagination, he has a ring of Saturn circling around his waist." I interpreted it as possible "weight issues", a bit of a tire he wanted to lose. She said, "No, it's the opposite. He's militant about what he eats. He's training for a body building competition." So here my psychic mind illustrated the story through a symbol, but my interpretation of it didn't quite fit. That happens.

I do know Saturn to be a rigid taskmaster though.

Here's a funny addition to this story: Just now, something called me to do an internet search on Saturn's symbolism. I found a page about Saturn on symbols.com and an ad appeared on the right side of the screen. It was a teaser for a tip on how to "cut down a bit of your belly every day." The psychic mind loves to crack jokes!

When I asked my dream mind to convey a scene representative of another client's career, I was presented with the image of a high rise. "A hotel," I said. "There are many positions within, low to high. I see you communicating with the public... It feels like sales."

"I confused," this client said. "I'm an actress."

Uh oh. Not quite a match.

In cases like this, my conscience often whispers to me, 'Maybe there's something symbolically relevant here.'

I asked, "Have you applied for any regional theater positions?"

"Yes, I have."

"Then I'm going to suggest that is why I'm getting the hotel. I see it as working out of state. You've done so in the past?"

"Yes."

"I see more of that. It's possible?"

"Yes. Very."

"And the sales I imagine? Unless you aggressively promote yourself, you aren't going to get where you want to go in your career. Whether you're auditioning to play the scullery maid or the hotel heiress (and I could see you as both), you have to sell directors and producers on why they should bring you into the audition room and hire you over anyone else."

The message made sense to my client. Of course it could be said that I was bending the meaning of what I psychically saw to fit the "known" circumstances. But why should my psychic mind always point out the most obvious facet of a client's experience? That my client was an actress was not a question for her. The message that wanted to come through was about her need to be more active in promoting herself.

Maybe she would have a breakout role in some soap opera set in a hotel!

Too often, imagery has come up in a psychic vision that, at the time, neither the client nor I were aware would turn out to be relevant. Not every impression in a reading will be immediately recognizable. I've learned to use whatever comes to send a helpful message.

If you create a playful daydream for yourself, you might just tap into your inner psychic. Dream freely, from a playful frame of mind, accepting the images and feelings that come.

Acknowledge your daydream, and then let go of it. Forget about it. If you're open to it, one day you will witness an event or experience a deja vu that you will associate with this dream.

It's a fascinating and rewarding exercise.

If you're truly interested in remembering your nighttime dreams, a good first step would be to place a diary and pen on your nightstand. Then, instruct your dream mind to remember a psychic dream. Set the intent, and your dream mind will respond.
