I HAD A DREAM ABOUT...

My great-grandmother. 

Last year I had a dream about my great grandmother. My mother's grandmother. I call her Abuela Calin...

I’ve never met her. She died before I was born and I’ve only seen pictures of her, but I know this dream was really her coming to me via the dream realm… you’ll understand why in a moment.

So, before I write what other things I may remember, I’m going to write the small entry I had in my phone. Note, there was not much written because I was much more concerned with texting my mom about it, lol.

Written August 15th, 2023 - Found April 17, 2024:  

Entry: “She steps forward. Saw old woman in skirt through mirror in bathroom (in 8649 house). Said she was gonna help//I asked her for help? Said to pay attention to cholesterol. Said she’d give me something, or she'd make something with meat? Or fish? For me to eat. And I kept seeing to eat more fruits. And I keep thinking about something with my feet? but idk if it was even in there… Abuela Calin? Or someone else?”

As of today, what I can recall about the dream is this:

I remember being in my childhood home. I went from my bedroom to the bathroom because it was the only place that had a mirror. I went and looked in the mirror and I saw myself but I think I was my younger self and in the mirror I saw an older woman behind me. But only in the mirror. I think she was wearing a skirt… she spoke to me through the mirror and told me she wanted to give me something for cholesterol. I remember her bringing up something with meat and fish but I didn’t understand. She also told me to eat more fruits via images in my mind, lol. She said she was going to help? I think it was help for my health and that she wanted to make it for me or something. 

When I woke up, I was wondering if she was my Abuela Calin. Her face wasn’t clearly her, but it was similar, and in my mind, I knew she was a relative. Like I said, I’ve only seen pictures of her, I never got the chance to meet her, so I think that’s where my brain kinda of ‘fuzzied’ things up… but I was too intrigued and a bit excited about the ‘contact’ that I wanted to get a sort of reassurance from my mom… to see if it made sense to her.

Well, when I spoke to my mom, I finally understood what this dream meant.

I texted my mom that day and asked her, 

“Hey, how are ya, I know this is random to ask but do you know if your grandmother ever made, like, home remedies for anything… Or any female for that matter, lol…”

She replied, “I don’t really remember my grandma doing any special remedies…She used to give us this emulsion with cod liver oil. Nasty.”

I asked, “Do you know what it was for… cuz… this is gonna sound odd but I think I had a dream of her trying to give me something for cholesterol, lmao, but I woke up before knowing what it was and also telling me to eat fruits…”

Then, my mom sent me a screenshot of the “Scott’s Emulsion Cod Liver Oil” she used to be given and in the screenshot, you can clearly see it was used for cholesterol support, amongst other things.

I continued the conversation with my mom, laughing about it and saying, I really didn’t want to use that if it was nasty, lol, and we came to find a cod liver supplemental pill that effectively does the same thing.

My mom said, “She’ll understand…” and then went onto mention to look up the price of the emulsion and play the numbers {this goes to my mother’s experiences with her abuela> She use to tell me she’d have dreams where she’d come to her and give her some numbers to play when she was in a bind and it’d help her out< Sounds pretty cool, right?} & No, I didn’t play the numbers. Why? Because I felt this dream was more about my health than money, so I stuck to buying some supplements, lol, but you can see the screenshots from our conversation below.

                                      

But! Let’s get into it- In my opinion, it was definitely my Abuela Calin, and some people may try to explain it away but how, if I’ve never met her, would I create this connect with her wanting to give me something for my cholesterol to what she used to give my mother when she was little. And no, my mother never mentioned anything like this to me prior. But besides that, I want to go into the ‘interpretation’ part of this entry-

So, right off the bat, I knew it had to do with my health because she basically told me I needed it for cholesterol (which, yes, I do struggle with). The other thing that stands out to me is that she was in the mirror within a dream… I feel like this is how she was able to contact me. I say this because mirrors are known to be portals, so the fact that even within a dream, she used a ‘portal’ to be able to relay this message [although, seemingly small] it was important. As for the part of the entry that said, ‘something about feet’, I can’t place that, because I hadn't had any issues with my feet around that time, BUT in -symbolism- terms, feet can be associated with your roots...and to your path… I can speculate that it was also a nod to paying attention to connecting to roots, connecting or paying attention to the past, as well as making sure I’m rooted/grounded, and the like, but again, even in the entry, I was unsure if it was even ‘a thing’ in the dream, so this is somewhat left up in the air.

As for what this means to me: I was really excited to have this dream and then the confirmation in conversing with my mother. It makes me feel like my ancestors, even though I never met them, are watching over me, even if we don’t always see them, which we are always told, and we may even feel, but actually having a connective experience is big for anyone.

Hopefully, she’ll come back one day, and we can have a longer conversation, but just knowing that she’s there and that she’s trying to help me in whatever ways she knows how, is important to me and helps me to be more open in connecting to her and all my ancestors.

Blessed Be🔮
