The Tytler cycle is quite similar to the 'bad times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create bad times' cycle (or something like)...
I had the good fortune to study dream interpretation with Edger Cayces right hand assistant.
Because our dreams come from our subconscious, they are all about us.
Every person we dream about is an amalgamation of people we have known with a personality aspect that we have adopted.
There are many common themes and dreaming about houses is one of them. Typically dreaming about the various rooms in a house represents the various aspects of the dreamers body.
Yes, dreams can help us to learn about ourselves, but we need to remember that everything is symbolic, not literal.
Cayce preferred to interpret in person. More can be derived that way. But I'm going to take a chance and try to do a little interpretation over the internet.
Dreaming about the exterior of a house could relate to some aspect of how you view yourself or how you feel others view you. Keep in mind symbology, not reality. The house in Vegas may have something to do with how you view yourself in the US, or how you think others see you, and the one in Thailand with how you see yourself or how you think Thai people see you. The old man is just some aspect of your subconscious that relates to this view.
The one you went inside would likely have to do with your body. It would be too much of a stretch for me to speculate on that... but you could. Bedroom may have something to do with sleep or sleep mechanisms or more complex issues.
Surely, Kyle, the most striking thing about Amy's house dreams is that she found them in real time and space. So there's much more to this than mere symbolism. What's very clear to me is that our minds/souls travel in time and space when we sleep. I've had four such dreams in my life. Startling recognitions of places I found myself in, that were the exact settings I'd dreamed about, years before each one. Uncanny is the word.
It's funny because my psychology and especially my neuroscience professor were back and forth about this exact thing when I was in school. Are dreams just pure symbolism? I've had dreams about dozens of different houses over the years. Some are dreams of houses I've actually lived in in say my childhood. Some have felt like abstractions which I don't expect to find exactly anywhere in real life. What was unique with these dreams was that the houses were across multiple dreams at least three about each one where it appeared to me exactly the same in each dream even though I had never been to nor had I seen any of these houses. The Gab AI art does a good job except that the picture is far too generic, looking like a house that I might have seen in a movie, a TV show, a better homes and Gardens catalogue, et cetera. All three of these houses were very distinct with a distinct signature where I knew them immediately on seeing them. The funny thing is in the two I did find it also related to the timing: the first one appaeared freshly painted for sale and was well maintained. Would I have recognized it if it had been painted say all white before? The second had certainly seen better days when the family there was alive and well. I recognized them both instantly and I am equally sure if I ever see the third one I will recognize it instantly too. That one I even have the house layout in my head...
Truly amazing. In my case, I had each dream only once, but they were vivid ones that had made strong impressions (I don't often remember my dreams).
The earliest one was when I was a teenager. I was inside a strange, old building walking up a staircase that bordered three of the 4 walls. The room was square; about 30 feet across, and I was about halfway up all the steps. But the stairway encompassed a huge domed structure that rose about 3/4 of the way to the ceiling. Like a mosque. But it was contained inside this room. A few years later I was travelling through Turkey, on my way to India and one day there I was, inside that place, climbing the stairs around this domed structure. But strangely, I didn't investigate what was inside that dome. It was dark and seemed not in use.
Dream #2 was being killed (via a knife through the torso) by a native on the island where I lived growing up, in front of a pioneer-style house, which I years later recognized. The death was not painful but I knew I'd died (which debunks the theory that if you die in your dream, you really die).
Dream #3 was one of those "flying" dreams, and I was soaring over an unfamiliar road, and then an intersection (it was a secondary-type highway) which had some specific landmarks. About five years later, I moved from the city with my family to this place and there it was, that very road and particular landmarks. I'd never been here before.
Dream #4 This was the most remarkable one for me. I emerged from a silver airplane, upon a circular plateau of red earth, surrounded by red earth spires ... a landscape I'd never seen before. My husband and small daughter were with me; I was riding on his shoulders as he pedalled us around the vast area as I pointed to the astonishing rock formations. Again, several years later I made a trip to Sedona Arizona (which I hadn't any prior knowledge of) for a course (that was life-changing) and the first morning I woke up in my motel room, I looked out the window and there it was, the same sight I'd seen in my dream!!!
I guess time is an illusion, after all. But also, what of "free will" if everything was already determined???
What is free will if everything is determined already indeed! I have had some interesting experiences around Sedona it feels like a profoundly powerful spiritual place. There were no dreams about it beforehand, though.
I've had a lot of dreams that could be said to be around basic themes, the most common of which for me seems to be around being in airports or catching a flight. Yet I never felt in any of these dreams that there was anything unique about the location like where I will find that specific spot in real life someday. Sometimes I wonder though if we sense the thoughts and images of others across a type of psychic grid. The timing of my husband learning of the death of his friend and both parents felt like that. It was so odd remembering the dreams I'd had of that house 20 years before knowing the backstory of the house when I encountered it in life.
I had a dream in 2018 where I was scrubbing a toilet clean. That was it, the entirety of my dream. I woke up that morning and went into the bathroom and realized that Ka had been cleaning the bathroom that morning. He had indeed scrubbed the toilet. Perhaps I had heard him, you might think. But he had rearranged some things on cleaning the bathroom in ways I would have never known in the dream, but which were exactly how it was arranged that morning. It felt less like a dream and more like I was inside his eyes that morning seeing exactly what he was doing...
And with a nod to Kyle's symbolism; I've had one or two of those as well; a brightly coloured exotic bird standing on a sinking platform, that I knew to be me, losing my life's energy to a pessimistic relationship.
If the first 2 houses were signs of what #3 would be I would take it this will be be the house you die in. You will live a looooong life first but it's your forever home. The other 2 represented someone elses ending. This is an ending that you chose and it chooses you.
Love the salt one, great! As for dreams, just had the deja vu moments though not since I was a kid. Sounds you have quite the active mind and vivid memories even for dreams. A bit spooky though too.
The dream experiences you inserted in this Meme overview (great as always), deserve a separate longer substack article. But I am pretty sure that you are already considering this...
Yes I am. I just felt like writing it down while I was thinking about it. It leads in to a broader discussion regarding psychic phenomena. Some think about dreams in a mechanical view of the universe, that it simply relates to neurons firing which we then sometimes shape into things we see in the real world. Some believe that dreams represent, or I'd say better spoken CAN represent, communication with another realm or higher nodes of connection and consciousness beyond ourselves. I think both kinds happen...
Great memes Not going to milk a Bull. Had a Bull experience in what I thought was a Bull bathroom.
2 guys inside. Went to other non urinal in hurry to pee. Coffee rental. Wash my hands basket of woman’s Kotex and tampons? Thought wait did I enter wrong door? Go look out at entrance, Under Hombres was gender neutral brand new lettering.
Medical community has gone gender neutral too.
This was like a dream that has become a creepy nightmare, to me threatens woman more than men.
Just not liking the demoralizing of confusing which sex is which. I am not confused. I just want to stand and pee. But for men to wander to the other door
As a woman I’d find that to be unsafe and some creeps fantasy.
I agree. I suppose there is the choice of turning all bathrooms into ones with seperate door locks like family or handicapped bathrroms are, but such a move would be extremely expensive and unwieldy for certain public spaces like locker rooms. It does seem a clearer threat to women for obvious reasons. Though for what it is worth I can't fathom being a biological female and wanting to go into an all male bathroom space. That sounds a little scary too...
It used to be a grade school fantasy to go into the Girls locker room. That fantasy I’ve grown out of. I had a talk about this with a Woman client, she said to her it’s terrifying thought, to find a man in a woman’s bathroom. If a woman is in the man’s bathroom, my immediate thought is how odd? The idea that safety and privacy ought to really drive the restrooms in public places is common sense. In a conspiracy mind set it seems to me that demoralizing sexual identity
Disregarding biology is done on purpose.
There’s nothing stopping a creepy male from claiming he identifies as a woman and traumatizes any unfortunate Biological female into simply using a public restroom. Im just not sure it’s a good
Idea. Fairly certain you’re inviting trouble in a public restroom that ought to honor

I love this comment and agree on many levels.... but she actually saw the homes, how was it symbolic? More premonition?
Thank you.
Facsimiles. There are a lot of homes in the world. Our dreams are based on them, not the other way around.

::wishing every day were Amy's meme day::
If the first 2 houses were signs of what #3 would be I would take it this will be be the house you die in. You will live a looooong life first but it's your forever home. The other 2 represented someone elses ending. This is an ending that you chose and it chooses you.
I could be totally off though so never mind me!🌹
Again, one of your best.
Dreams are sometimes telling in a few cases. I haven't experienced my dream is real life just yet, but I still have the rifles.

You're welcome. :-)

I have a good memory even of things which happened to me as a young child. My father was very similar. I do benefit from writing it down though...
Spot on !!! Love'm
