Dreams of Spoons

Last night I had dreams that involved spoons which was strange in that I never dreamed of spoons before as far as I can remember. So I was very curious to know what spoons represented in dreams. Here is what I found:

 

According to www.cafeausoul.com/oracles/dream-dictionary/

A spoon suggests what you need to hold onto in order to feel satisfied, while the fork is more symbolic of taking a stab at something, or making a change in direction that will help you provide for yourself. The spoon can also personify your desire to be cared for and nurtured.

 

According to https://angelwoodcraft.co.uk/

What is the spiritual meaning of spoon?

The spoon is a symbol of sustenance and support and has been used not only in idioms such as the silver spoon someone who never wants for anything would have, but also in the Spoon Theory, a powerful allegory for people suffering from chronic illnesses, particularly fatigue-related ones.

 

 

 

According to https://www.dreamrem.net/spoon

 

Depth Psychology: The spoon is usually a sign that you have maneuvered yourself into a limiting situation or position and only you can get yourself out of it!

 

Dreaming Of Pumpkins ... What Does That Mean?

Last night I had a series of dreams that included large pumpkins growing from trees. When I woke I wondered what that meant.

According to dream app dreaming of pumpkins -

You are in the course of harvest and good fortune, take action to achieve your goals, and receive the benefit of the time you are currently in.

The dream of a pumpkin can evoke feelings of warmth, comfort, and abundance. It symbolizes harvest, nourishment, and the changing seasons. This dream may bring a sense of joy, as pumpkins are often associated with festivities and celebrations. It can also represent creativity and transformation, as pumpkins are commonly carved into intricate designs. Overall, dreaming of a pumpkin can leave one with a sense of contentment and a reminder to embrace the beauty of nature and the cycles of life.

According to Dream Moods, To see a pumpkin in your dream implies your openness and your receptiveness to new ideas and experiences.  A pumpkin is also symbolic of female sexuality. Alternatively, the dream may relate to the popular fairy tale of Cinderella where a carriage turns back into a pumpkin. In this regard, a pumpkin may represent some situation in which time is running out.

And the Dream Dictionary says this - Pumpkins emerge in your dream to show your resilience, grounded nature and sacral chakra. These are positive symbols that reflect growth prosperity, and abundance will soon unfold in your life.

Dream interpretation is as much an art as a science, it would seem.

Here is a link to another dream dictionary to help you better understand your dreams.

What is Deja Vu?

What is déjà vu? Psychologists are exploring this creepy feeling of having already lived through an experience before

LEDE: Have you ever had that weird feeling that you’ve experienced the same exact situation before, even though that’s impossible? Sometimes it can even seem like you’re reliving something that already happened. This phenomenon, known as déjà vu, has puzzled philosophers, neurologists and writers for a very long time.

Starting in the late 1800s, many theories began to emerge regarding what might cause déjà vu, which means “already seen” in French. People thought maybe it stemmed from mental dysfunction or perhaps a type of brain problem. Or maybe it was a temporary hiccup in the otherwise normal operation of human memory. But the topic did not reach the realm of science until quite recently.

Occultism in America - May 5 at 1pm - Free Program

YIVO is offering a free lecture on May 5 at 1pm on B. Rivkin  on Occultism in America. You can register here.

“WHAT DOES YOUR DREAM TELL YOU?”: B. RIVKIN AND YIDDISH OCCULTISM IN AMERICA

The writer B. Rivkin (Borukh Avrom Weinrebe, 1883–1945) is known to scholars today as an important anarchist thinker. Less known is that Rivkin was also a firm believer in the occult who attended spiritualist séances and speculated about the possibility of telepathic communication. Over the three decades of his literary career in the United States, Rivkin published hundreds of articles on occult topics, edited a short-lived Yiddish journal devoted to the development of latent inner powers, and published a weekly psychic dream interpretation column in the newspaper Der tog in the early 1940s that analyzed dreams submitted by readers. In this talk, Sam Glauber-Zimra will uncover this forgotten side of Rivkin’s literary career. Utilizing materials preserved in Rivkin’s archive at YIVO, he will trace the significance of the occult for Rivkin and his Yiddish-speaking immigrant readers as they navigated religious change and the crisis of the Holocaust.
