I knew someone who had a dream sometime after August 31st 2003. She was chilling inside a back patio room. The interior walls were bright white and it had so many picture windows. You can see the backyard full of greenery and flowers. Great landscaping job, beautiful weather, and full of sunshine. She loved the beautiful scenery. Great way on enjoying a peaceful time sitting on a recliner chair, looking outside the picture windows. She was waiting for someone. Who was she waiting for?
All of a sudden she got up because they arrived. That person came into the room.They faced each other face to face. She couldn’t believe her eyes. It was her ex-father-in-law, In front of her. She mentally can recall that he passed away some time ago, but her smile on her face emerged. She was so happy to see him, in spite the divorce between her and her ex -father-law’s happening.
She never thought that she would ever be divorced and never believed in it, but yet the divorce happened. I don’t think her ex-husband was doing ok during in those times, because ever since his father’s death, he changed drastically and quietly. He wasn’t the same person anymore, and once she realized it, it was too late.
In the dream her father-in-law was glowing brightly, happy to see her. The way he looked at her was as though he was so proud of her. His smile so big that he could light up a room with their presence.
They ended up holding hands almost hugging one another waltzing like, dancing like but also becoming still off and on, to be able to keep up with conversation.
While they were dancing face to face, they completely stood still for a moment, facing one another, without the dancing position, and then he would asked her, “Are you dancing yet?”.
That question made her feel confused. She wasn’t sure what it meant.
That was when she woke up from her dream.
Generally speaking and researching some info, I found that these dreams can be considered symbolic going towards healing, Joy, and the release of grief, because dancing represents confidence, celebration, and in general happiness.
Finding out the the why factor, may have some scenarios like, maybe a loved one asking that question, may be the way of giving them explicit permission to be happy and enjoy life without hesitation.
Maybe it could be symbolism where them asking, if they have re-engaged with the world or if one is still stuck in a static state mourning? In my friend’s case, it would be the mourning from the permanent breakup from a divorce, from a relationship she never thought would end, which she was still emotionally trying to mend from.
Maybe it was a visitation from the spirit world to bring a message of peace, support and encouragement? A way to offer comfort and closure. By asking that question, may have been debated, that the loved one may be confirming, that they’re okay and came to them to help with releasing lingering, worries or guilt.
In biblical spiritual symbolism, it could be a form of spiritual perspective where dancing can represent praise, victory and the fulfillment of a journey. Could be that it was asking if one has found spiritual rhythm or peace.
Might be that psychologically could be an inner cry for freedom from stress or emotional weight.
Another way , could be that the loved one, if they were associated with them, with joy or music, that their image was to remind them of the dancing part of one’s own personality, that may be being neglected.
Another suggestion would be that such dreams can signal that they’re entering a new phase in their life. The dance might represent their own readiness to move forward, while the loved one in the dream,may be a serving symbolic guide or source of approval to do so
Or it could be about themselves giving them the reflection of one’s own emotional state. The question, of if one is allowing oneself to experience joy or dance in their own daily life, is being done or not.
I believe that it could mean that the question being questioned is to ask themselves, if they’re happy yet in their life? The loved one came to help them be reminded to not forget that even though something has ended, that it’s okay to find happiness that they truly deserve.
That’s the only thing I could come up with.
Maybe some may be curious to ask if my friend’s “dancing yet”? My answer is, I don’t know. That’s a great question and sure its something to think about?👩💻
