I had been to Nairobi, Kenya many times before. I would pass through it enroute to the University of Dar-es-Salaam in the early 1970s. I would also frequent Nairobi during the days of the East African Community when I worked as a Fisheries Research Officer in the East African Marine Fisheries Research Organisation (EAMFRO), one of the many research institutions of the community then.
Although EAMFRO had its headquarters on the Island of Zanzibar in Tanzania, it was easy for its workers to visit any part of East Africa. I also had friends in Nairobi I would visit. However, my wife Jane Tibenda, had never been to Nairobi before.
She had just been admitted to Temple College in Nairobi for secretarial studies, and I had just been admitted to the University of Nairobi to pursue a Masters programme in The Biology of Conservation in the Department of Zoology at Chiromo Campus.
The year was 1980. We left Uganda for Kenya in June, three months before the University of Nairobi opened for a new academic year, 1980/81. My sponsors, World University Service (UK), had sent my fees and stipend to the university in 1978, when another intake to the Masters programme in The Biology of Conservation, was initially arranged to begin.
I wrongly thought that if we arrived in Nairobi earlier, the university would take care of me until September when it opened for the new academic year. When I reported to the Head of the Department of Zoology, Professor George Kinoti, he told me I had to wait until September 1980 to become the responsibility of the university in general and his department in particular. When I asked him how he could help me to stay around until the university opened, he said he would write a letter asking whoever would trust the institution and provide accommodation without being immediately paid rent.
When I identified a landlord in Ngong town, I went back to Professor George Kinoti for a letter of commitment to the landlord and confirming that I was his student. The letter stated that the university would start availing my stipend in September when it was due to open for the new academic year..
It was not easy for landlords to trust a couple of Ugandans with no money. Through a new acquaintance by the name of Deborah and her husband Njoroge, Jane was able to get a room in a local lodge in Ngong. However, it was hard for the couple to cope due to obvious reasons. I had to go to the Head of Zoology Department at Nairobi University to explain the problems my wife and I were facing.
Professor George Kinoti, appreciated the problem. He wrote a general letter to any landlord who could provide accommodation to us and be patient with us until the university opened in September so that funds would be available. It worked. A landlord in Ngong town, 30.5 km via Langata Road from Nairobi, provided the accommodation – a small room.
He kept us undisturbed until the university opened and I was able to pay him in arrears. However, he proved to be a very rough Masaai. He always wanted his money promptly. If he found electric wire connections for music or anything, he would simply pull them down saying, “Do this in your own house”.
Unfortunately, he died a few months later from a combination of pressure and diabetes. We had to deal with one of his sons from then on. The son was more humane.
We settled in well. However, one night, we almost succumbed to death. It was so cold that we decided to light a charcoal stove, and close ourselves in the room. It was a stupid choice. It was as if I had not heard of a dangerous, poisonous gas that can cause serious health problems, including death called carbon monoxide. This colourless, odourless, and tasteless gas is produced by the incomplete burning of carbon-containing fuels such as fuelwood or charcoal.
Jane lit the charcoal stove. The room became warm, but then something funny first happened to me. I felt a serious headache, became weak and started to talk incoherently. Then soon after, Jane also started to feel the same. I remembered carbon monoxide. I crawled on my knees and hands, swung the door open and opened the widows as well. I pushed the charcoal stove out of the room.
Those actions were followed by life starting to come back into our bodies. It was a good lesson to us. Next morning, we heard on radio that many people who had done what we did to warm their dwellings succumbed to death.
This article is about my dreams and dreaming 45 years ago. Let me start by introducing you to dreams and dreaming.
Dreams and dreaming
A dream can be influenced by what one is thinking about before one goes to sleep, or what one experienced in one’s waking day. Dreams can also bring to light what one is avoiding – thinking about one’s anxieties. However, as I will show later in this article, my dreams of 45 years ago did not seem to follow this logic.
There is so much talk out there on the internet and beyond about dreaming. We are a dream-loving species to be sure (Thoreau, 2021). However, this is not to say other animals don’t dream.
Researchers have found that the seven most common dreams involve being attacked or chased, being late, loved ones dying, falling, flying, school, and sex. I will come to Noble’s (2025) 18 common dreams shortly, and show that my dreams 45 years ago do not exactly fit in her list and the explanations she details of each common dream.
Suni (2024) and Cherry (2024) have addressed why dreams happen and what they mean. Dreams are images, thoughts, or feelings that occur during sleep. Visual imagery is the most common, but dreams can involve all of the senses. Some people dream in color while others dream in black and white, and people who are blind tend to have more dream components related to sound, taste, and smell (Suni, 2024).
Dreams happen to consolidate memories, process emotions, express deep desires, and practice confront potential dangers (e.g., Suni, 2024; Cherry, 2024). Summer (2025) adds that while science hasn’t confirmed exactly why we dream, current theories about dreams suggest that they help with emotional processing, memory consolidation, performance and creativity.
Many theories exist about why we dream, but no one knows for sure why we dream. Some researchers say dreams have no purpose or meaning, while others believe we need dreams for our mental, emotional, and physical health (Marks and Booth, 2024).
Dreams are basically stories and images our minds creates while we sleep. They can make us feel happy, sad, or scared. They may seem confusing or perfectly rational. Sometimes, they can feel so real that we may question whether we are dreaming or not. Some experts say we dream at least four to six times a night. We can dream at any stage of sleep, but the most vivid dreams occur during a phase called REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. During this cycle of deep sleep, your brain is most active (Marks and Booth, 2024).
Why do some dreams come true? It’s a question that has captivated cultures for as long as history has been recorded. Many attribute the predictive power of dreams to spirituality and divine intervention. Yet, regardless of the faith of any individual who enters the dream state, there are numerous instances in which dreams actually do come true in ways that were not anticipated.
Most prophetic dreams do not bear spiritually significant meaning and hold no link to life-changing events (Heid Moawad, 2018). However, we forget up to 95% of all dreams shortly after waking (Cherry, 2024). According to one theory about why dreams are so difficult to remember, changes in the brain during sleep don’t support the information processing and storage needed to form memories (Cherry, 2024).
Our room in Ngong proved to be more than just a place for accommodation and study. It became like a sick bay and a place for dreams and all sorts of experiences in the surrounding environment. It is the dreaming that I experienced that puzzled Jane and myself. It is hard to remember a dream vividly, but I remember 10 dreams that occurred 45 years ago.
Most of the dreams were frightening. For nearly 45 years, I have kept a record of the ten vivid dreams and can still recite them in detail as well as I did 45 years ago. I call them the ten great dreams.
Actually, the subject of dream interpretation has been of interest for many years, and for good reason. Understanding the deeper meaning of dreams can help us realize how we feel and think, which can be good for providing personal insight (Cherry, 2024). I have waited that long to understand the deeper meaning of the dreams.
Famed psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, cited by Cherry (2024) described dreams as the “royal road” to the unconscious and suggested that by studying the obvious content of dreams, we could bring to light the hidden and unconscious desires that lead to neurosis.
People have tried to decipher the meaning of dreams since the dawn of civilisation, though scientific research on dreams is relatively new. The most prominent theories of dream interpretation include psychologists and psychoanalysts (Cherry, 2024).
According to Sigmund Freud in his The Interpretation of Dreams published in 1900, dreams represent a form of wish fulfillment and hold the key to a person’s desires. He believed dreams are rooted in real-life experiences but shouldn’t be taken literally, because their true meaning is hidden in the unconscious mind.
Carl Jung, originally influenced by Freud later developed his own view of dreams as a form of “compensation”- a way for the unconscious mind to balance inner conflicts or underdeveloped parts of the self. In the 1950s, psychologist Calvin S. Hall proposed that dreams reflect a person’s thoughts and beliefs, acting like staged scenes based on their view of themselves, others, and the world, as well as offering insight into their daily behavior.
William Domhoff, whose work spanned from the 1960s to 2018, combined dream content analysis with brain imaging and EEG. He argued that dreams are similar to waking daydreams, likely don’t serve a specific function, and are simply a byproduct of brain activity.
Summer recently addressed the difficult issue of interpreting dreams. Dream interpretation is the practice of analyzing the content of dreams to uncover hidden emotions, thoughts, or meanings. How to interpret dreams, and whether they have meaning at all, are matters of considerable controversy.
While some psychologists have argued that dreams provide insight into a person’s psyche or everyday life, others find their content to be too inconsistent or bewildering to reliably deliver meaning (Suni, 2024). Noble (2025) identified 18 common dream interpretations and what they actually mean.
She says that although the interpretation of dreams will be different for everyone, there are universal themes that pop up and are worth looking into if you are trying to figure out what your own dreams might mean.
Her 18 common dreams, based on Gailing and others are:
● Dreaming about being pregnant, which might mean that the dreamer has been working hard on a creative project, the dream may relate to this period of creativity the dreamer is experiencing and how he or she feels about it.
● Dreaming about falling, which could mean that one feels out of control and don’t “have steady footing” in some aspect of one’s life; or that if one finds oneself falling in a dream but then start flying, it could represent freedom and trusting the timing of your life.
● Dreaming of being chased, which might mean that one does not feel in control; or it could signify a couple of different fears, such as concern that someone is out to get one or that one is avoiding certain responsibilities.
● Dreaming of flying, which symbolises freedom and a need for adventure. However, if the dream turns into the dreamer falling as he or she flies, it could also mean you feel ungrounded. So, the dreamer should try to pay attention to what’s going on in the dream and how you feel.
● Dreaming of death, which could signify the dreamer’s internal fear about dying. It could just be giving the dreamer a sense that a chapter or situation in his or her life is coming to an end – and that doesn’t always have to be a bad thing.
● Dreaming about teeth falling out, which could signify some sort of rebirth and transformation, as one is releasing something old and making space for something new; or could signify feeling some sort of loss of control or internal concerns about how one presents in public.
● Dreaming of being late or missing a deadline, which could signify some sort of worry one has internally. It could represent worrying about a lost opportunity or stress around one’s relationship with time. It could also show that one is overwhelmed by being overcommitted with responsibilities.
● Dreaming of being naked in public, which is most likely connected to a recent embarrassing situation one found oneself in.
● Dreaming of infidelity, which might mean that one might be dealing with trust issues in general and operating from a place of fear. If one may not be feeling secure or has been betrayed in the past, it’s normal to have those subconscious feelings of distrust creep up.
Maybe one is having this dream because a partner has cheated on one in the past or one is scared something will ruin a beautiful current connection.
● Dreaming of phobias, which might mean one is most likely afraid of not having control in some situation in your life. One comes face to face with something that haunts or scares one.
● Dreaming of an ex, requires the context in understanding what the dream is revealing.
● Dreaming that feels like a premonition, which is referred to as precognitive dreaming. In this type of dreaming, one dream of an event tht has yet to occur, only for it to happen later.
Some people [believe] that they are able to foretell the future through their dreams while others don’t sense that their dreams are precognitive until after an event that they dreamed about occurs. It is a skill that can be developed or even disappear.
● Dreaming of seeing a loved one who has passed away. It gives one a chance to create another memory with a person one misses dearly instead of trying to figure out whether the loved was sending one a message from the great beyond.
● Dreaming of losing hair, which is linked to some sort of worry one might have. This will be dependent on what is going on in one’s life, but some common meanings behind this include loss of control, worrying about aging, or worrying about your appearance.
● Dreaming of fires, which signifies that the dreamer is in a situation where he or she has no power. It can also represent feelings of great passion or your anger towards something (or someone) in your life. It could mean some sort of purification and clearing away of the old.
● Dreaming of drowning, water oftentimes symbolises emotions of feeling overwhelmed or consumed with something. This could mean too much pressure from a situation, too much work, too much responsibility in something, etc. Basically, whatever in your waking life that you feel like you are drowning in.
● Dreaming of snakes. Snakes in general, are associated with some sort of transformation and metamorphosis. If you dream about a snake, it may be because you are in a powerful time of letting things go and shedding the things you have outgrown.
While it sounds like a good thing, it can be scary letting go of what you have known to invite the unknown. The Snake dream can also signify healing. It could also mean someone around you is being deceitful or untrustworthy.
● Nightmares, which give us the opportunity to process unprocessed feelings. If one has a recurring nightmare about a traumatic event, it could be indicating that one has some ‘unfinished business’ that one has to process, which is really important.
I have decided to reveal my ten great vivid dreams to all humanity because most of them cannot be explained the way Gailing and others cited by Noble (2025) have.
My ten great vivid dreams
Vivid dreams are characterised by a sleeper’s ability to clearly recollect what they dreamed upon waking up. Vivid dreaming has been linked to a number of life circumstances, behaviors, and physical and mental health conditions (Bryan, 2025).
Vivid dreams that occur out of REM (i.e., rapid eye movement) sleep are like a movie in which you are an actor. Simple dreams can also occur out of other stages of sleep, but they may be a more basic thought, like a photograph (Brandon L. Peters, cited by Bryan, 2025).
Brandon, a sleep physician and sleep Psychiatry expert, also states that vivid dreams can also be important to memory processing, learning, problem solving, and creative thinking.
If you have ever woken from a dream, feeling as if it were real and remembering every detail, you have had a vivid dream. Vivid dreams sometimes include pleasant or meaningful experiences, like soaring through the sky or conversing with a deceased loved one. They can also be nightmares marked by unpleasant or disturbing content, such as falling or being chased (Bryan, 2025).
Fourty five year ago, I woke up from dreams on different nights, and could remember each dream in precise detail. I still do as if today is yesterday. If we accept Bryan’s (2025) explanation of vivid dreams, then mine were vivid dreams because I remember them vividly.
In one of them I was talking to my departed brother, Zerubbabel Mwavu who was killed by thugs in Jinja, Uganda. Many individuals who have lost a loved one, like I did, report experiencing greater acceptance and comfort after encountering the person they lost in a vivid dream. This is what happened to me after having a vivid dream about Zerubbabel Mwavu.
All my great vivid dreams occurred in 1980 when I was a Master Student The Biology of Conservation in the Department of Zoology at Chiromo Campus. Let me detail each dream below:
Dream I
The first dream was when in my sleep I saw my cousin, Joy Kakete, sister of Jane Bagonza Sr and daughter to my uncle, Alexander Ivule Wekiya, lying dead, with maggots streaming from her body. Frightened, I woke up, switched on the light and narrated the dream to Jane Tibenda.
Next morning, I received a call from another cousin of mine, Irene Tibakwira Wekiya now Ambassador Iren Wekiya, telling him that Kakete had indeed died and maggots had actually streamed from her expired body. Therefore, my dream was revealing to me that my cousin had died even before I received information about her death.
Dream II
The second dream was when I was moving on foot to a destination I did not know. Along the way I met the late Mzei Isaac Afunaduula (uncle to my father Mzee Afunaduula-Ovuma Ngobi Isabirye), and his wife the late Lakeri Bugonzi. Mzee Isaac Afunaduula had died in 1977 and Lakeri Bugonzi died a bit later.
They stopped me and asked me almost in unison, “Oweyegha, where are you going?” I replied, “I don’t know. But aren’t you supposed to be dead? How come you are standing here and asking me where I am going?” Afunaduula answered, “I came to tell you that you do not forget me.” Then Bugonzi also said, “Even I came to tell you that you must remember me.”
Even before I asked them what they meant, they vanished. I did not understand what these dead people pretending to be alive were talking about. Of course, I remembered them. They did not have to leave their graves to remind me about the obvious. I woke as usual, put on the light and told Jane my wife what had happened. May be if they had not come in my dream, I would not have a son called Isaac Afunaduula (born in 1983) and a daughter called Agatha Lakeri Bugonzi (born in 1984).
I never forgot that encounter with the two dead people whom I interacted with far more times than other old people in Nawaka village as I was growing up.
Dream III
The third dream was when someone who resembled the late Sir Wilberforce Kadhumbula Gabula Nadiope II, the former Kyabazinga of Busoga, to whom my father, Afunaduula-Ovuma Ngobi Isabirye, related a great deal, entered our room in Ngong uninvited. I recognised him because in 1962 my father had taken me to see Nadiope at his residence in Bugembe, near Jinja, while he was still alive.
His “image” had stuck in my brain as vividly as it does today. Again in 1964, when the Emperor of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie, visited Busoga government headquarter at Bugembe. I had another close look at Nadiope again, which fortified his image in my brain even more. So, when he appeared in the dream there was no doubt that he was the one. What was interesting, was that before the dream, some unseen force had forced itself through the door, and Jane and himself heard the door making cracking noises as if something was forcing itself through the cracks.
When the imposing figure appeared to me in the dream, it said, “I am your father’s uncle. I came because you are in trouble – you and your wife. Someone wants you dead and has sent spiritual forces to achieve her ends. But I have come to assure you that you will overcome.” After saying this he left, I woke, switched on the light and told my wife what had transpired in the dream.
By this time both Jane and myself were frequently falling sick from unknown causes. We were getting more and more used to what could be characterised as air squeezing itself through the wooden door. Sometimes when I tried to read while seated on a chair, I would feel powerful forces lifting me off the chair. “It was terrible.” But Nadiope had told me in the dream that I would overcome.
Dream IV
The fourth dream was when I found myself lonely in what appeared like a desert. The land was completely flat with a sandy landscape and almost without plants. The sun was shining brightly but I could not feel the heat. The winds were still. When I looked all around but saw no living creature in the vicinity. Suddenly when he looked up, I saw the blue sky opening up.
Then a huge, long white net started to com down and extended towards me, directly above my eyes. As it came nearer to the ground, I saw a white, gracious lion lying on its right-hand side and looking at me sympathetically with its wide, shiny eyes. Finally, the white sheet extending all the way from up, with the lion in it still looking at me as if it was sorry for me.
The net reached the ground close to his feet, with the white elephant fixedly looking at me. At that time, we were two in the desert: the lion and myself.
Since the lion did not look fierce, I was not scared. I looked at it as it looked at him. It seems we needed each other but I needed the lion more, which by virtue of the extended net was assured of going back to where it came from: the sky.
However, somehow, I made the decision to walk away from the lion. As I moved, I would frequently look back to see what the lion was likely to do. The lion simply gazed at me as sympathetically as before. The more and more I walked away from the lion, the more I became lonely. The more I walked, the more the horizon extended farther ahead of me.
He felt tired and breathed hard too but was not sweating. I looked back a last time only to see the white net going back where it came from with its load – the lion. Then suddenly I came from, still breathing hard. I was sweating in bed but never sweated in the desert!
I switched on the light and narrated the dream to my wife. None of us could tell what the dream meant. However, we associated it with their being sickly and thought God trying to intervene.
Dream V
The fifth dream was when best friend at Busoga College, Mwiri, Charles Kawagga, and myself found ourselves in a green wilderness with grass cover and some woody plants. There was no other living soul. While we wondered how we got there and what exactly we were doing, we saw the blue sky opening up in one spot and fire emerging from it.
Within moments, the fire was just behind hind us. Seized by fear, we started to run to no particular destination. The fire was following us, burning grass in their foot prints, leaving a trail of charred ground but never overtaking us. I could feel tired and breathed heavily but kept on running just as Charles did. It was a long distance.
Then suddenly, we saw a huge white-washed house just ahead of us. Sensing security wa coming our way, we increased our speed but the fire was just behind them. We climbed the steps and struggled to enter the huge main door, which somehow opened by itself. We looked back only to see the fire racing back through the same charred trail and then lifting itself up and disappearing in the sky.
Every where on the charred trail the fire left green grass sprouted. It was as if there had not been a charred trail. Meanwhile, when we entered the house, found it had very many rooms all of which had padlocks. Therefore, we could not enter any. we simply remained in the corridor wondering what next. As we were wondering what next, I escaped from the dream, switched the light on and narrated the dream to Jane his.
Dream VI
The sixth dream involved myself and my late God-fearing and loving brother, Zerubaberi Mwavu whom I mentioned earlier in this article. I found myself at the tip of a very high mountain. Then suddenly, Zerubaberi Mwavu appeared behind me and said, “I am your brother Zerubaberi Mwavu. I was instructed to come and help you out of trouble. Your life is in danger. If you follow the instruction, I am going to give you, you will survive. If you don’t, you will perish and join me where I am.”
I was seized with fear. He did not understand how I went on top of a very high mountain. Neither did I understand how someone supposed to be dead should be talking as if he is alive. What surprised me more was that even I was facing away from him Zerubbabel was transparent and I could see through him.
“But you are dead. How do you manage to talk as if you are alive? Even when I try to reach you, I see a great distance developing between you and me yet you appear so nearby! How is that possible?” I asked
“There is no time to explain to you what you want to know”, Zerubbabel responded. “The line between your life and death is so thin that we must hurry. You see that narrow path winding down the mountain? You have to walk it. The first steps will be difficult but as you try, it will become easy.
“Don’t look back. You see those long, deep dark trenches on either side of the path? They are waiting to swallow you if you look back. Good luck and good bye,” said the transparent Zerubbabel-like figure.
I was left lonely. Initially I grieved for his brother, but then I realised it was me who needed being grieved for because if I made a mistake I would end up in one of the dark trenches. I took one step and then another. I wondered how I was doing that in upright position on a steep slope.
The more I tried a step the more the path became straight. The trenches too became straight. After some time, I walked comfortably but the distance proved very long; perhaps five kilometers. Then suddenly at the end of the path, was a very beautiful garden, with flowers of various colours.
However, before I could enter it, I woke up. Like before, I switched on the light and told my wife the latest experience in the dream world.
Dream VII
The seventh dream was when somehow, I found myself in a grave-yard in a banana plantation. The graveyard was near a road. I could see people walking or riding bicycles on the road and even hear them talking but they seemed not to see me even if I was so nearby. I went from grave to grave, peeping through each of them as if their tops were made of glass.
In my mind I was looking for the body of my daughter whom he never had a chance to see when she was born in a Kenyan Hospital. There were many graves but I peeped into every grave -big and small. I knew it was a futile exercise because I did not know how my daughter looked like.
Then suddenly I came across a small round grass-thatched hut. In front of the hut was elderly, completely white-haired woman who looked familiar. She appeared like the old woman whom Daisy, the mother of my twins (Jacob and Rachael) had introduced to me as her mother. She was grinding something in a mortar. I wondered why she appeared in my dream that way.
When she saw me, she was startled and seized by fear. Was she doing something awful? Did the troubles that Jane and I were going through anything to do with her? Before I could get an answer, I woke up and narrated the dream to my wife Jane. This dream like the one below occurred soon after Jane and I lost daughter whom we knew was old enough but was born very small and assigned to an incubator because the doctors thought she was she came into th world when she was not ready. She passed on after three days of life.
Dream VIII
The eighth dream was very shocking. In the dream I saw an ex completely naked and holding the body of a female child, which was also naked, and going round and round an anthill while pronouncing some incomprehensible words. Just near the anthill was a man seated with a long pipe between his lips and going through the wall of a hut.
He was surrounded by six women seated and dressed up to the breast level. The man, who was tall, was smoking, and I could see the smoke coming out of the mouth of the man and at the end of his pipe just as my ex did her rounds and recitals. Before I could get the meaning of the dream, I woke up and told Jane what I saw in the dream.
Dream IX
The ninth dream was very frightening. In the dream, found myself surrounded by extremely old people, with deep, wrinkles over their faces and bodies. They were dressed in back-cloth and formed a circle around me. Some were women and others were men. They all fixed their eyes on me. I wondered what was happening but waited to hear from them.
Then one broke his silence. “We are people from the past. We came because you are in trouble. We felt it was an obligation for us to come and protect you. That is why we have surrounded you. We have formed a shield, which no enemy can penetrate to reach you and hurt you”.
Of course, I was in trouble but he knew God was protecting him and he did not need people who died long ago to protect him. What followed were introductions. One said he was there in the 12th century, anther said he belonged to the 11th century and virtually every century up to the 19th century was mentioned.
By now I had developed a certain courage that allowed me to look at whoever spoke one by one. When they had finished their act, they said good bye and vanished. I escaped from the dream, switched on the light and told his wife what he had been going through.
Dream X
The tenth dream was less frightening. I found myself by the roadside. I wanted to go somewhere, but seemed not to know where exactly. I waved to every vehicle that came by but many drivers simply ignored me. I waited for a very long time and did not seem to lack patience and endurance.
I believed I would get a lift. I was right. Indeed, one car stopped. It was a small car from the first impression I made of it. However, when I peeped into it I saw too many people in it. They were mostly women and children. They were singing songs of praise of Jesus Christ. The car was opened for me to enter. I wondered where I would sit. “Come in!,” said the driver,
“There is a seat for you.” I entered, and indeed a seat was there for me despite the facts that the car was over flowing with people. I sat and had to put up with the songs of praise. I did not join in but loved listening attentively to every song.
The vehicle moved on at a steady speed, negotiating corners and climbing hills. It seemed the distance was very long. Suddenly I woke up, switched the light on and told all to Jane.
Conclusion
Dreaming is quite natural. Different dreams have different meanings and interpretations. Noble (2025) relying mainly on the interpretations of Gailing, gives what she casts as a reliable classification of dreams and their interpretation.
The classification seems to capture and apply to some of my ten great vivid dreams, but not the others. It applies to Dreams I, II, III, VII, VIII and XI but is not easy to apply to Dreams IV, V, VI and X. Research is still needed to explicate Dreams IV, V, VI and X, which appear to be divine-guided.
I still believe in Dreams IV, VI and VI God took me on wildness journeys and in Dream X God took me on a road journey, all of which are still fresh in my mind, waiting for me to take action to total freedom.
In 2025, Mary Gallagher wrote, “…Dreams don’t have an expiration date: they are waiting for you to take action.” However, those four dreams are also waiting for meaningful interpretation. Who will interpret them for me?
