 An amazing dream
I'm not sure what to make of it

I posted this dream on one of my online journals (I have two), and, I think I know what it means, but I'd be curious about what others might think of it.

Last night I had a strange dream, strange not just for it's content, but because it's so vivid and even several hours after I woke up it's still very vivid. I suspect it's more than just a dream.
In the dream I was myself (which, strangely enough is rather unusual for me, I'm normally someone else in my dreams), and I was visiting a holy temple. It was a beautiful temple, made of white stone, the temple was really large and in the middle of it was an open courtyard with an amazing garden in it.
I don't remember so many details about the garden, only that it was filled with beautiful flowers, yellow and red flowers, and the grass had been allowed to grow wild, but it wasn't messy like normal long grass, it added to the beauty. Bisecting the garden and framing it were a set of covered walkways, all made from this beautiful white stone. I walked up through the center walkway that led from the entrance of the temple through the entrance hall and then through the garden. It was a sunny day and the sunlight made the white stone and the garden glow.
Halfway along the walkway through the garden I saw a group of people, children and adults all huddled around a priest or monk and he was doing a tarot reading. I joined the small group to watch. But this monk kept interpretting the cards inaccurately, I could see the errors in his interpretations, I could see that he didn't use any clairvoyant ability, he was purely relying on the cards. I was able to see the extra clairvoyant messages behind the cards and the more articulate meanings of the cards themselves that he was missing.
So I asked him for a reading. Immediately I saw my guide (I think it was Raven) standing behind the monk in a beam of golden sunlight (he stood out because the other sunlight was white because of the temple stone). My guide smiled at me and then guided the monk to choose the right cards and put them in a particular order. Both my guide and myself knew that in fact this monk was drawing a reading for himself, and not me. The structure of the reading was unsual, the cards were arranged in a box shape of four by four. The monk was confused and a little scared, as this kind of reading wasn't what he was used to, he was using only the basic spread that came with his tarot deck, and he'd felt the guiding presence of my guide as well.
When the cards were spread out on the white stone in front of him he started to interpret the reading for me. But he immediately sensed that it was different, that something was incredibly different to what he'd known before, and he stopped using the old system because he had a sense that it was wrong for this reading.
Then I stepped forward, brought out my own deck, I think his was the RyderWhite deck, mine was something different, the backs of my cards were red, with a gold edge and a beautiful symbol in the center of the red.
I slowly went through the cards he'd drawn, in a diaginal pattern, from top left to bottom right, giving him the complete reading. He started to realise that the reading was for him and not me, about halfway through the reading he looked up at me fearfully like I was some kind of master, I shook my head and smiled gently at him to ease his fear. The last card, in the bottom right was the "High Priestess" card. And without looking at my deck I brought a card out and placed it on top of his High Priestess.
My High Priestess card was a picture of Kuan Yin.
At this point, the onlookers realised what was happening, they realised that I was doing the reading for him, not him doing the reading for me. They started to get upset with me, saying that I had no right to come in from the outside and tell this "master" of tarot how to read. That who was I to think I could teach this holy man.
But the message for this monk had gotten through to him, and I was focusing on him and not the onlookers. The message was for him to extend his readings, to learn more, and that the message had been from a place of love and compassion, from Kuan Yin, that I and my guide were just the messangers. The monk bowed right down to the ground, forehead on the ground and said thank you for the message.
Ignoring the upset of the onlookers, children included, I turned away and left the garden.
Ironically enough, when I've used tarot (I normally read using a playing card deck) my face card tends to come up as the High Priestess, and I've seen visions of Kuan Yin for years, even before I knew who she was. When I did Reiki level one, I saw a vision of her placing a lotus flower in my hands. And that is the first time, as far as I can remember, that I've seen Raven in my dreams.
I'm not sure what it means for me, but, I do know that it's a good sign. I felt totally myself, like I was my highest self in that dream. It was beautiful. And I am so going to try out that Reading layout. |
What do people think? I'm curious for other people's opinions.

Wow. I don't think that dream needs anything in the way of interpretation or anything like that. It seems pretty darn clear. And amazing! *whistles* I'm a little jealous, heh heh.
Of course the lesson inside is probably for you, but I don't think it's a lesson so much as it is a statement of what you can do.
