Thread: Dream: Dead Sister? Aug. 31, 2009

Sounds like a vivid hypnopompic aural hallucination. Mine are very vivid. I had one that lasted even as I stood up and looked around the room. If it's a voice it's very clear. When I was a child I used to think it was demons whispering to me.

Not to downplay it's significance. It seems to have a lot more to do with your emotions and ideas related to it than the literal words. I think one thing this is telling that you need to get in touch with all your siblings and build a relationship with them.

I think this about your sense of loss related to not growing up with your father's other children, and your mother's children that died as babies. Maybe you could visit them in a lucid dream?

Hi Waking Nomad,

Yes, absolutely, it's a hypnapompic dream/vision. I dislike the word "hallucination" for these though, as I find hypnapompic dreams are generally psychic communications, either from other people currently incarnate, or from deceased family, or from guides and angels. Usually, they mean something to me. This one did not.

I have no desire to become further acquainted with my biological father's side of my family. Doing so in the first place really hurt my mom and stepfather, though it was not my intent, and we simply have very little in common at all. The one sister I got to know somewhat wanted to spend all her time shopping for shoes, and I hate shoe shopping, as I wear size eleven shoes, and most stores only carry up to a ten. But she'd drag me through every shoe store in the mall, and go home with as many as four pairs of spike heeled shoes. I'm into sturdy Easy Spirit walking shoes and flat sandles and boots and the like, and have to catalog order them. She didn't like to do anything else! The other two sisters are much younger and resented my appearance on the scene. The middle one would say, "I was Daddy's favorite until you came along!" Argh! It was a case, really, of me being the country mouse, and them the city mice, and nothing meshed at all. The one with the shoe thing also was having a longterm affair with a married man, jumped into bed on the first date with a Navy officer my ex introduced her to, and flirted with my ex to a degree that was more than irritating, and given his inability to keep his pants zipped, I was not about to live with having my husband have a fling with my sister. Hmmm... come to think of it, if he did, maybe that's what it meant! I thought I'd quit seeing them before anything got really stirred up. I'll have to think about that.

I rather suspect that my twin sisters on my mom's side probably have reincarnated back into the earth plane a long time ago! I have, however, always wished they'd survived. I would have liked growing up with sisters.

It might not have been about me at all, but rather someone I "overheard" who really is in anguish about telling someone else that he killed her sister. I also keep trying to figure out some sort of symbolic meaning, but the anguish in his voice made it seem very literal. Well, I have a hunch time will tell on this one! It will likely explain itself over time.

I do thank you very much for your input! And I hope you will stick around and keep offering interpretations. It is a good thing to have more than one person's input, as each person often offers a piece of the puzzle!
