DREAM
Hi Aneta,
We were a group of friends at my house. It had a big backyard with grass and flowers. It was a bit overgrown with weeds. I think we were moving and were fixing up the place. The bathroom cupboard needed a bit of paint, and I had the right colour, but the wrong texture. In the backyard there was a big shed. In the shed was an old piano. It was half under an old piece of machinery. I didn’t know it was there until I lifted the lid. It was playable though a bit out of tune. Everything—the house, the yard, the piano—seemed to be a bit neglected and I didn’t have the right tools to fix things. I wasn’t frustrated with the broken things.

INTERPRETATION
Hello Melissa,
Thank you for submitting your dream.
Your dream is an excellent example of providing feedback to the dreamer as to how she is using her mind to create the reality she desires to experience.
The dream speaks to you being in a state of mind that is familiar to you (your house). In that state of mind you’re realizing that you’re being quite creative with your subconscious existence (backyard/grass/flowers), wanting to create harmony (piano) and putting your imagination to a good use (paint). Your friends are reflecting you being in touch with many aspects of yourself.
You’re recognizing that an upgrade (fixing) of the house (your mind) is needed. Certain attitudes need to be adjusted. You are specifically seeing that some aspects of how you’re releasing/cleansing (bathroom cupboard) need to be updated through the use of your imagination (paint). Same goes for the means of harmony (piano) which is stored in a shed (not in the house) and it is usable, yet needs to be tuned and placed such that it is easily accessible. Lastly, your backyard has some weeds which represent thoughts that are obstructing manifestation of your desires.
APPLICATION
You’re doing great Melissa. The dream shows that you have an acute awareness of your state of mind and aspects of creation such as imagination, harmony and accessing your subconscious mind. All are essential in creating the reality you want to experience in the physical realm. “Thought is cause” and everything within our reality is a reflection of our inner thoughts.
Your subconscious mind through this dream is letting you know that you’re in process of upgrading your state of mind and that you need to call upon your imagination, harmony and inner mind to first visualize or imagine what it is that you want to experience. It’s very important to focus our mind on our desires versus the lack thereof. I would suggest you write out on a sheet of paper 10 things you would like to manifest in the nearest future. Prioritize them. Read that list every day. For each item invest some time to imagine how it would feel like to have what you desire. Remember, our desires are not only limited to physical things. You may also want to build certain characteristics within yourself such as patience or self-expression. We become what we think. By focusing our attention on what we want to create we open ourselves up to countless possibilities.
May your dreams illuminate the inner you…
