Lizard ~ Dreaming (contrary)

Tweet

Today we are joined by contrary Porcupine and contrary Lizard, who warn us that it is very bad medicine to give up on your dreams because you have been hurt or rejected by another. Lizard says chasing the approval of others and giving up those things that you want will only lead to sorrow and stagnation. In order to move forward, you need to claim your personal power and your right to BE. Acknowledge the feelings of the one who hurt you. Perhaps their reaction was out of concern for your wellbeing or a reaction caused because they once abandoned their own dreams and have difficulty seeing others do what they did not. Recognize the feelings of both parties, and then let go that which doesn't belong to you. Seek out those who would love and support you for who you are and do not spend time with those who put you down or belittle your dreams.

If Lizard has turned up in the contrary, you may be having a nightmare. This is a sign of inner conflict. Look to the nightmare for a clue of the nature of this conflict. Look to the feelings your causes. Breathe through these feelings and let the sensations flow out of your body. See the truth in what your nightmare is suggesting. It could be the simple message that you are confronting your fears and therefore do not need to experience nightmarish events in your day-to-day life.

Another message of Lizard reversed is that you may need more sleep or dreamtime. It could also imply that you have a lack of dreams for your future.

Imagination is the door to all new ideas and creations. As you examine the dreaming process, you will find that the subconscious is processing ALL of the recorded messages it holds concerning the events you experience during the day. These messages can be suppressed feelings bringing inner conflict, or they can be new ideas or goals, other dimensions of awareness, future events, warning signals, or desires and hopes.

In one sense, contrary Lizard is insisting that you look to your imagination for new experience. This is necessary when life becomes dull or full of boredom. On the other hand, contrary Lizard may also imply those who dream too much, refusing to use the dreams as tools to manifest the same vision in their lives.

All levels of awareness are accessible through dreams. Remember, life is not always as it seems. Are you the dreamer? Or are you the dream?
