This is the dream I had that put me on the path to becoming a professional Tarot reader. (This is an excerpt from my book, Follow Your Dreams: Listening to the Guidance of Dreams, which is still in-progress.) |
Date of Dream: July 7, 1998 Dream Title: The Cards I am telling my own fortune, seeing the future through the cards. The cards I am using are playing cards. I cannot make out entirely what the cards are saying. I continue with the process of laying out the cards, turning them over on top of one another, and studying them. My Interpretation of the Dream I found this dream interesting, right from the start, as I'd never used playing cards in this manner in waking life. Doing some research, I found out that playing cards are a descendant of Tarot cards. I discovered the Joker, from the playing card deck, is equated to be the Fool from the Tarot. Going back to the dream, I looked at the actions taking place. The first phrase to catch my attention was "telling my own fortune." This is the role I was playing in the dream: I was a fortune-teller. I then associated, that, in waking life, we make our own fortunes, based on our beliefs, attitudes, and the choices we make. The next phrase that caught my attention was "seeing the future through the cards." The phrase "seeing the future" has an implication of being what is known as a precognitive, a person who can see future events. |
