Recent Dreams

Looks like some people are interested in reading the blog...he!he! nice...it gives me an indication that I'm on the right track to discover more about the aspect of dreaming. But for now, I'll give you an update on my latest dreams but has not become reality yet. Over the past few weeks, I've had very specific dreams about certain family members but I'm praying really hard that it won't happen. I won't name the person but I'll need your prayers to avoid it from becoming a reality. Apart from that, it seems that new developments in place for Naivirikovu - the name of our place in Kadavu is a positive one. However, just last night I dreamt of a tsunami...not again...it seems so real and I'm just hoping that it won't happen. From all this dreams, I just realized that praying is an important tool to have with you. Therefore, my aim for this week is to pray about Fiji, my family and friends :-)

The death of our beloved brother - Tomasi Waqanimaravu Tanumi - RD 4

This dream occured a week before the event became reality. It was in the month of July the year 2009. Unlike the dream i had about my dad, this one was a bit of a mystery. In my mum's family there were 10 of them and the funny thing about this dream, I saw my aunt- Lois Tanumi, who resides in Australia siting next to a coffin inside our living room - crying. I could also see all the sisters surrounding the coffin, and their body gesture indicated that it was a close family. I could not see the person who was inside the coffin and upon waking up from the dream, I felt so afraid and constantly thinking who might it be. I had to tell my family about the dream and ask them if there was some meaning to all of it. First I thought it was my aunt, who had breast cancer and I had to let her know. She told me that it was important for me to pray about it and have a positive thinking at all times. But how could I?? I mean the last time I had this kind of weird dreams it became a reality.

The following week, upon my late night studies in Uni, I was given the bad news about the sudden death of our beloved cousin brother - Tomasi Tanumi who was the eldest son of my aunt who resides in Australia.

The sisters, my mum, aunty meme and aunty susi were all in one room awaiting the next call from their sister in Australia. They told me that indeed my dream has turned out to be real after all. The death of Tomu came as a shock to all of my mums family, it was a mystery death after all and to this day investigations are still underway as to explain what really happened to him.....was it murder or suicide??This questions is still a blank of white paper.

Tomu was considered to be the number 11 in the family and a twin to aunty Site who is pictured above. He was to turn 40 in September 19th but was called to rest on July 13th 2009. He had two beautiful girls and was married to an Australian woman. He was raised up in Soso, Naceva, Kadavu, Fiji and later moved to Australia in his teens. He will be dearly missed by all his family in Fiji and will not be forgotten. Rest In Peace my brother.

Important call - Reality Dream 3

On Wednesday morning, I dreamt about a very important call. The funny thing about this dream was that it was short and as soon as I woke up, my small brother Bill was at the bedside saying - "Una, you have a call". Wow! that fast...how can that be...amazing!!!
The call was from my new boss at CRC in USP. I was to come in to work at 3pm.
Lets just wait for the next dream and I'll keep you posted :-)

Tsunami Warning - Reality Dream 2

To dream about Tsunami....well I thought it was just an illusion...ever since 2009 Fiji was predicted to be a target destination for the tsunami after major earthquakes in Chille and others. Before these tsunami warnings - I had dreams 2 weeks before the event...to be precise a total of 4 dreams of which all became reality.
These dreams as I have mentioned in the earlier posts.....it seems so real that it woke me up and the time was early in the morning like 3.30am or 4am.
In the dreams, I could see people running towards the high grounds as the waves from the sea started rising which later formed a tsunami. I was also running up the hill and could see it coming towards me but once I have reached the top...I was safe...at first it was a funny topic in talanoa sessions with my friends and families but when the reoccuring dreams made everyone realise that I was truly given the gift of seeing events in my dreams that later becomes real - still I had to know how and why?

The death of my father :( Reality Dream 1

Who would ever thought that dreams would become a reality. Well, I for one was not prepared for the bad news. It took me a long time to realize that I have been given a gift to see things in my dreams that do become reality. You might think that I'm crazy right! but what I' m about to share with you, is the experiences that I had that led me to discover my gift. But this gift is not like any other, its unexpected and always a sign of a warning to bad news. Do you believe in God? Do you think that this gift is given to me by God? Psychologists would have an interpretation for this kind of dream as mentioned in the earlier post. As for me I believe that this was God given. So many questions yet so little answers but time will tell why did it happen to me.
To begin with, I was inspired by a very dear friend - Laycie-Ann Tobosa. I was a regular follower of her baby blog and I happen to come across one of her updates on the blog as she explained how she was having dreams. You can read this in her blog http://babytobosa-mocelutu.blogspot.com/

The year 2008 was one of the most challenging year for me and my family, as we lost our dear beloved dad, who passed away in his sleep. At that time, my family we staying in the mountains of western region of Viti Levu - to be precise- Nadarivatu High School while I reside in Suva the eastern side of Viti Levu.

October was the month that I was moving from house to house and I became good friends with Maria who helped me to discover that as christians we should be baptised again as a symbol of being born again and receiving Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. With the guidance of a few elders I was baptised at the Suva Point Seashore.

My dream began on my regular visit to Mavis place in Qauia Street. Never in my life have I dreamt of something very precise and the faces of the people were clearer than ever. What I saw still remains with me up until today. To some they may call it a nightmare but to me at that time and now...it was a clear warning!!!
I saw my father - Sairusi Gagavoka Moce, was buried alive, without any coffins..he layed on the ground and a guy who I can't see his face started digging up the grave and covering up my dad. He laid there helpless and soon my dream switched to another scene as I saw my dad carrying my brother - Aceni, and the image of my brothers body was so scary - skin all pealed out but my dad was hugging him as if telling my brother that everything was okay.
At the same time I woke up crying. I couldn't stop crying that my cousin had woken up by it. It was 0400 hours and we decided to stay up until the sun comes up. I could not wait to reach USP (University of the South Pacific) the local University I was attending, to call my family. My friend - Grace Stella Waqawaqa gave the secret code to dial out from the newsroom. Seconds later I was on the phone speaking to both my parents which I told them about the dream and pleaded with them to be safe and take care.
Two weeks later the dream became reality.

We surely miss our beloved dad. May he Rest In Peace. I'm certain that we will meet again in the next life.

Content of Dreams

Dreams according to Benjamin Lahey, are one of the fascinating aspects of human consciousness. At least since the time of the Egyptian pharaohs, people have attempted to decipher the meaning of dreams - and some psychologists are still trying.

Most of the conscious experience in dreams is visual. Some dreams are happy, sad and scary at the same time, but mother nature plays little tricks on us.

Why do we dream about the things that fill our lives during sleep? What is the meaning of dreams? A large part of the content of dreams is directly related to things going on in our lives during the day - things that Sigmund Freud called day residue.

We know that some of the content of dreams simply reflects the events and concerns of daily life, but what about the rest? And what is the meanig of the bizarre and fictional images in dreams?

Different psychologists have very different views of the meaning of dreams, ranging from the opion that they mean virtually nothing to the belief that they provide a rich source of information about hidden aspects of our personalities that cannot be revealed easily in other ways.

Freud divided the content of dreams into two levels - manifest and latent.

The event that we experience in dreams are their manifest content. Whereas a latent dream, according to Freud, is the true meaning of dreams that is found in the symbols in their manifest.
An example for this is from my own experiences and throughout the coming weeks I will try to keep track on dreams that I have that turned out to be true.
