Pagan ~ Wiccan Dream

[Crescent Moon]

I had really interesting dream and was curious of anyone’s take on it.

I dreamt that I left my house on a bike and rode it to a house that was hidden in a wooded area that was behind a hospital in our area. (Which I thought was bit strange that this house sat behind a hospital ~ far enough back so you couldn't see the hospital but still a bit strange). It was big house that sat up on a hill. I went to the door and knocked. A woman answered the door (about my age give or take a bit) and asked me to come in. As I entered the house, I noticed immediately how pagan, wiccan the decore was. My eye caught her altar and on it standing out at me was what I believed to be a black candle with a very bright Gold pentegram on it.  It was very noticable to me.  There were items of pagan, wiccan and witchy symbolism all through out the house.  I noticed gargolyes, candles and jars of herbs and bottles of oils everywhere.  There was a lot of decor with crescent moons and stars.  I remember seeing a cresent moon with a star attached to it as I walked with her to her kitchen. In my dream she said she was waiting for me. She told me that she would teach me. We sat at the kitchen table which had a large window that looked out into the woods.  She went into her cuppard and brought herbs out and put them in a tea pot and we had tea she had brewed and were talking.  As I was gazing out the window into the wooded area beyond the house I noticed my husband coming on his bike and he parked it came to the door and the woman let him in too and he explained that he was worried about where I had gone and wanted to make sure I was okay. The woman explained that she was going to teach me and has been waiting for me and he was okay with that and he left. I seemed fixated on looking out into the woods while sipping the tea and chatting with her.  She was showing me around the house then I woke up.

Just curious of anyone's take on it.

That sounds like a lovely, contented dream. What does your gut say about it? What your intuition tells you is the best barometer to go by.

My impressions are that you are exactly in the place you need to be, spiritually. You are comfortable in your surroundings, your husband is content with your path, you are eager to learn and grow, and the Goddess or your higher self is waiting to teach you. You just will be expected to show up and listen.

That's what my gut was telling me.  That I met the Goddess in my dream.  She was there to guide me and show me there's still so much to learn and to grow with.  I think the herbs, oils and other items in the dream (mostly healing items) were a symbol to guide me on my path toward healing.  It think that's why the hospital was in my dream also...a place to heal.

There is something you should know about me. There was a time not that long (the begining of this year) when things weren't going so right for me with home and financial and well it just felt like everything was going wrong and getting worse, I honestly doubted my self and my religous beliefs.  I didn't mention in my introduction that I was raised catholic and up until I was 33 - 34 (I'm 42 now) did I finally realize that I was not content with the beliefs that I was raised on and that there was something else out there for me.

Anyway, I thought the catholic god was in some way punishing me for turning away from him and I thought maybe I needed to go back to my old beliefs (even though deep down I still didn't feel the catholic religion was right for me) and I started to seek out the catholic god again.  I actually threw away alot of things I had collected (for lack of a better word) during the past years.  Things for my altar, at least half of the herbs I had, a chalice I had gotten, bells on my altar and so forth.  I just really felt that I was being punished in some way.  I can't explain why I felt that way but I did.  Then a few months later I realized I wasn't content with my new decision and that I had to follow my heart & my gut.  I was pagan (turning to nature as my religion) and I was a witch.  I have since then found ways to rid the negativity in my house and in my life and things are getting better slowly.

So I feel that the Goddess came to me in my dream to express to me that I am on the right path spirtual, that she is with me always and that perhaps healing is where I should turn my attention to.

Thanks Brijrian for the input.  I really do appreciate it.
