Have you ever woken up from a dream that felt so real, it stuck with you throughout the day? Ruth Fae, the intuitive writing coach behind Fae Blood Publications, joined me to unravel the mysterious connections between her vivid "Wave Dream" and the landmark moments of her life. Our conversation traversed the emotional terrains of the subconscious, revealing how Ruth's nightly escapades have not only foreshadowed life events but also sculpted her journey. Prepare to be captivated as we discuss the sensations of rescue and resilience that accompany her dreams, and how these powerful experiences weave into the fabric of her personal and professional narratives.
Dream journaling isn't just about capturing the bizarre tales our minds spin at night—it's an art form that can unlock creativity and foster deep introspection. In a heartfelt exchange, Ruth and I delve into the reflective practice of documenting our dreams. We peer into a particular vision of an ascending roller coaster that suddenly loses its track, disclosing its imagery as a metaphor for persistence and stability amidst life's unpredictable twists. This episode is sure to inspire you to pick up a pen and explore the rich tapestry of your own dreams, perhaps revealing the subconscious drive that propels you forward, even when the path ahead seems uncertain.
We wrap up this extraordinary session by weaving together the threads of dream interpretation, numerology, oracle card guidance, color theory and self-discovery. My insights into the numbers three, six, and nine open a window to the waves of change and personal growth rippling through our lives. We probe the mysterious healing vibrations of sound frequencies, particularly 396 Hertz, in transforming our inner landscapes. Join us as I illuminate the path toward integrating the wisdom of our dreams and embracing the powerful journey of self-validation.

Welcome, Ruth.
Ruth Fae (00:39):
Hello, thank you for having me.
Megan Mary (00:41):
It's wonderful to have you here, and today we are
going to be doing a very specialdream session, and Ruth has so
kindly shared her, one of herrecurring dreams in all its
forms with us today to discussand delve into.
And so first I'm just going to,before I read the dream, I'm
(01:04):
just going to read a little bitabout the background that you
shared along with the dream, andthat is that your grandmother,
maternal grandmother, was aspiritual medium who died before
you were born, and that she hadthe quote unquote site but
(01:24):
turned her back on it many moonsago.
And as a young child you hadpremonitions, often through your
dreams, but as life progressed,as so many do, you lost touch
with your intuition and innerknowing, but that during the
past few years of healing andopening to your spirituality,
your dreams have become a portalto receive guidance and
(01:46):
messages, and I love thatbecause that is exactly what I
feel they are, and so I'm reallyexcited to hear more about your
dreams and share them witheverybody.
Ruth Fae (02:01):
Thank you.
It's funny hearing you readthat like you're reading it out
and I'm like did I actuallywrite that?
It's all true, but it's such a.
It's strange hearing your wordsreflected back to you sometimes
.
Megan Mary (02:11):
Yes, and I'm going to be saying that too.
At some point did I write thatyeah, you are.
Ruth Fae (02:17):
Yes.
Megan Mary (02:19):
So the dream that you have chosen the title is the
Wave Dream.
Now being that this is arecurring dream, you said that
you started having it when youmoved to Australia from the UK
when you were 10.
And that that's really when itstarted.
(02:39):
But there's been so manyiterations of it over time that
you know that this is kind of anamalgamy of all those different
versions rather than just one,which is, which is fine, because
it'll give us the perspectiveon what's the same and how it
changes over the course of time.
(03:00):
So I'm going to read whatyou've written here and then
we'll go back to the beginning.
Ruth Fae (03:08):
OK, there's probably a lot.
I have a feeling I wrote a lot,yes.
Megan Mary (03:13):
OK, ok, so let's see .
Basically, you call it the WaveDream, as the main storyline is
that I am somewhere near thecoast, sometimes at the beach or
on a cliff top, or nearby in ahouse or shop and huge waves
come into the shore.
They pick up people some I know, some I don't, but since having
(03:33):
kids, they're always in it.
Every time.
It's terrifying, yetexhilarating, and I wake up full
of energy, almost buzzing withit.
Although the circumstances varyin each dream, the overarching
theme is that I'm rescuingpeople, usually while in the
water, grabbing hands, body,surfing the waves back to shore,
(03:55):
often getting q "dumped" andstruggling to breathe and break
through the water and so on.
There's such power in the waves.
In the dream, people die notusually people, I know, but I
and my loved ones always surviveIn an interesting change.
The most recent one involved medriving a roller coaster filled
(04:18):
with my family while the waveschased us.
They are huge and broke theroller coaster track as we
climbed higher and higher,racing against time to reach
safety.
The one before that I wasdriving a bus.
Escaping is a theme, plusrescuing, and I recall being
scared but also diving back intothe water every time and the
(04:41):
feelings of exhilaration arestrong.
I have noticed that I alwaysdream this dream right before a
major change happens in my life.
Every time I was pregnant, forexample, but before I knew that
as an adult, and especially as amom.
When I woke up, wake up, Ialways say, oh, I had the wave
dream.
I wonder what's going to happennext.
(05:01):
And, sure enough, somethinglife changing does.
I feel that it's a nod tosomething going to happen, but I
also feel that there are partsof it I just don't understand,
although writing this is givingme some insight.
Sometimes there is almostapocalyptic feel as houses, the
(05:21):
shoreline and people aredestroyed.
It's also about fighting forsurvival and safety, and the
waves always come in threes,getting bigger and bigger and
more destructive, before a briefrest and then it starts again.
I have a sense of them toweringover me.
There's impending doom, fearand the need to face it all and
(05:46):
jump into the water, as doingnothing will result in death.
This was different in therecent roller coaster one, as I
was in the water, then fled andfound the roller coaster to take
us to safety.
I can't think of anything elseand I'm not sure if I've done
the dreams justice as they feelso clear and so real.
(06:08):
I have actually woken up timeswith sore legs from kicking in
the water and absolutelyexhausted physically, although
filled with this insane energyat the same time.
Ruth Fae (06:23):
Wow, Hearing you read that has made it.
It's made me quite emotional.
Megan Mary (06:31):
Yes, that's understandable, yes, and I do
ask you about your mood.
And in general, you say youknow, aside from all the,
there's a lot of emotion statedin the dream, but that when you
wake up you're not really sure,you just feel, you know, full of
(06:52):
energy, the insane energy.
And then I did ask you aboutcolors we'll talk about that and
people.
So when we look at the settinginitially, when we first look at
a dream and we look at thelandscape, the landscape many
(07:15):
times is going to set the stagefor the origination of the
emotions and the story, and sothe stage is the coast as well
as the beach, possibly cliff,top, shore or in the water.
(07:40):
And when we consider elementsin a dream, when we look at
earth, air, fire and water, manytimes the element of water is
metaphorically a presentation ofemotions, and so that can be
rain, it can be a puddle, it canbe a bathtub or it can be the
(08:05):
ocean.
And so when we look at being onthe coast, the shore, many
times that is this dividing linebetween the elements, the
mixture of the two, the placewhere the emotions kind of start
(08:29):
to dissipate into the landright, and especially when we
look at cliffs.
That even more accentuates themetaphorical cliff, the drop off
, the transition, the changepoint.
(08:49):
And then when you're in thewater, you're really in the
thick of it, particularly ifyou're being overwhelmed by it.
So the waves, being very largeby no surprise, are definitely
the emotional tides of your lifeand when you are in that scene,
(09:18):
the different emotions thatthat creates are tell us, get us
at that underlying meaning andthat underlying message, and
also the mood that you have whenyou wake up, the way that you
feel, that exhilaration.
And so when we look at theobjects in the dream, really
(09:43):
it's just that the wavesthemselves.
Now, in the recent version, asof writing, as of the time of
writing, there was a rollercoaster, which is a totally
different object introduction,although the theme is still
consistent with the previousdreams and then in another one,
(10:04):
you had a bus.
Now, what I like about both ofthose is that you are driving,
because there are many times indreams where you had your car is
broken down, you're going fromvehicle to vehicle and you don't
have your keys, you can't getit started, you can't control it
(10:25):
.
I mean, there's so manydifferent scenarios, and so you
consider what the oppositescenario would be.
And you recognize that it'svery significant that you're
driving, particularly because noone drives a roller coaster.
So the fact that you're drivingthat is really showing a lot of
(10:48):
agency and control from yoursubconscious about your
situation, however tumultuous itmay be.
The fact that you're driving isvery, very good sign.
Now, when we look at the actionsand if I were to kind of just
(11:09):
take out the actions and I knowthis isn't one dream, but we'll
look at it almost like a wordsalad we have pickup people,
grabbing hands, body surfing,getting dumped, struggling to
breathe, break through the water.
People die, always survive.
(11:31):
Driving a roller coaster brokethe roller coaster track,
racing against time.
Driving a bus, climbed c higherand higher, take us to safety.
Towering over me, people andhouses destroyed.
Now, in the way that you wrotethat down, just the way that
(11:54):
your mind formulated the lexiconof all those different versions
that are the, you know thestoryline of your life and put
them into that one paragraph toexplain it, and the order in
which those words came out, andthe word choice is also really
(12:17):
significant.
So there is a lot of strugglebut a lot of resiliency and the
fact that you always survive andthat you are breaking through
the surface and that you'reescaping the water is also
(12:46):
showing your resiliency.
It's your subconscious lettingyou know that you have that
power to rise above that, youhave that power to control, that
, you have that power to escapethat and that you're rescuing.
When you were rescuing peopleall the time, you're actually
(13:06):
rescuing yourself, because thosepeople can be all aspects of
yourself and there are thingsabout yourself that you're
calling back in.
You're calling back in yourpower and you're rescuing them
and you're keeping them abovewater and you're integrating
(13:27):
them into yourself and you'renot letting them die because you
always survive, because you'veintegrated, reintegrated them.
And that's the same for anykind of dream.
I like to say, okay, look atthe people in your dream,
because many times they can justbe metaphorical aspects of
(13:52):
yourself.
Wow, so goodness.
I also really like, of course,that how writing it down for you
started.
You started to get that insightjust by writing it down.
Yes, that is.
(14:13):
You know, the dreamjournaling's power demonstrated
right there.
And a lot of people just don'tanticipate and don't see how
powerful that can be till theystart doing it, and then,
because it requires atransference.
So first you have to transferit from your subconscious to
your conscious and you have tobring it from the theta state
(14:35):
into the beta state and then youhave to transfer it from your
conscious into another part ofyour brain.
That's going to actuallyformulate it into words and
explain it, because you have itall up here, but then you have
to start to verbalize it and youhave to start to explain it to
someone else.
It's like, okay, how do I evendescribe this?
(14:55):
And when you do that processyou start to get those synapse
connections that let you see iteven clearer, in a way that if
you had just sat there andthought about it, wouldn't.
Ruth Fae (15:13):
And then you forget them, right?
I dream very vividly, generallyspeaking, and I often wake up
and say to my partner oh, I hadthis dream like this happened,
this happened.
And then go into this half anhour conversation about what
happened and he's always sayingwrite it down, like this is
making an amazing story, writeit down, this is your book like.
(15:34):
Write it down Absolutely, and Inever do.
And then it goes.
I forget.
Megan Mary (15:39):
Yes, and that's.
It is absolutely your book andyour story.
Yep, Because that's where mybook came from, and I highly
encourage everybody to writethem down not even if you're not
planning on writing a book justbecause the reflective nature
of doing that is so powerful.
So, going back to the rollercoaster specifically, dream.
(16:06):
So I really like that you aredriving the roller coaster and I
also like that it broke thewaves, broke the roller coaster
track, and so, really, if youthink about the object of a
(16:28):
roller coaster, if I didn't knowwhat one was and I'd never seen
one what would you say?
The purpose of a roller coasteris?
Ruth Fae (16:43):
I guess the purpose of a roller coaster is obviously a
fun ride.
I hate roller coasters, justgoing to put that out there.
They're terrifying me.
I will not go on them unless Iabsolutely have to prove
something to my children, whichI just pretty much don't do
anymore.
So I'm not a big fan of them.
But I guess in asking thatquestion a roller coaster
usually goes on a route and ends, whereas in my dream it just
(17:08):
kept going up and up and up andit wasn't that circle, circle up
.
It was.
Yes, there were loops and yes,there were up and down parts of
it, but it was always goingupwards.
There was never that back tothe bit where you get on and off
.
Megan Mary (17:24):
And see that's really important.
That detail isn't in this, andso had I not asked you to
explain just in general a rollercoaster not even that one I
wouldn't have gotten that detail.
And it's really important toconsider how it's different from
real life.
And so you really hit the nailon the head it doesn't, it's not
(17:45):
in a loop, and not only is itgoing down, down, down down,
it's going up, up, up, up, andso both of those things are
really significant.
Also, that the track is broken,so the way it's supposed to go,
(18:06):
the predetermined path has beencut off, has been demolished,
the houses possibly demolished,other things possibly demolished
, but you still find a new pathand you continue to go up and up
(18:27):
and up and climb higher andhigher, racing against time to
reach safety, and I really likethat racing against time part.
I think this is.
It's that intensity that isfueling that exhilaration that
(18:50):
you achieve, and I really justlike that.
You go off the track prettymuch and just survive and are
elevated in doing so.
Also and in that dream youmentioned that it's a gray and
(19:16):
ominous setting, like a stormyday wasn't bright and sunny, or
that it's usually not, but thatdream had a lot of yellow in it,
the roller coaster dream and Ilike to use Robert Hoss' color
theory because he has a lot ofreally interesting questions
(19:40):
around colors and what he saysis that the statements are not
the meaning of the color butthey're meant to trigger the
personal association with thatcolor in that dream scenario and
I think, based on when you hadthis dream, you will find that
it is spot on for many of these.
(20:01):
So I feel a sense of joy andoptimism.
I feel alert.
I am seeking a solution thatwill open up new and better
possibilities and allow my hopesto be fulfilled.
I feel the new direction istaking I am taking will bring
happiness in my future.
I am hopeful.
I need to find a way out ofthis circumstance or
(20:24):
relationship.
I need to change my actions,maybe compensating for something
.
I may be acting impulsively, soI really feel like at that time
it was the.
I feel the new direction I amtaking.
I need to find a way out ofthis circumstance or
(20:46):
relationship.
I need a change.
And there you were, drivingthat roller coaster.
Ruth Fae (20:54):
Which was yellow.
It's fabulous.
Megan Mary (20:57):
I mean, it's really, it's so spot on.
Yeah, yes.
And also you say that you know,in general usually it's very
gray and that a lot of thosedream settings are dark and
(21:18):
stormy, I would say, and hisassociations that he has down
for gray are free of color.
Right, I want to shield myselffrom those feelings.
I feel emotionally distant,only an observer.
It is as if I'm standing asidewatching myself go through the
motions.
I want to remain uncommitted,shielded, separated.
(21:39):
I don't want to make a decisionthat will require my emotional
involvement.
I have put up with too much andnow wish to avoid any further
emotional involvement and I'mtrying to escape an anxious
situation.
So I think that the you know,the overall theme of the dark
(21:59):
and stormy waters is thoseemotional, that emotional
involvement or attempt to detachfrom it or attempt to figure
out how to maneuver through it.
But the yellow occurrence isone of the reasons why recording
, recording dreams over time canbe so powerful, because if you
(22:22):
just recorded one, you'd say,well, this is, this is me
struggling, and you know, Idon't see how to get out of this
.
But there you are, finding yourway out of this, and your
family as well, and really beingthe rescuer for not just your
(22:43):
family but for yourself, out ofthat situation.
So I really love that, thatroller coaster version.
I too, yes, and I think that ingeneral, the theme is, you know,
(23:04):
the escaping, rescuing, butalso the power of waves and the
destruction, because I think thedestructive nature and the
sheer force of that element onthe earth is also a power of
creation.
(23:25):
Yeah, so by when something isends or when something's
destroyed, it makes room forsomething new to be built, and
so when you see those housesbeing destroyed or other people
succumbing to it, that is reallythe metaphorical ending of
(23:48):
those other parts of your lifeand other aspects of yourself
that you're letting go and thatyou're releasing, and I really
like that.
The waves come in threes,because I talk about this a lot.
Tesla said that three, six andnine hold the key to universe.
(24:10):
Yeah, so three symbolizesgrowth and your creations and
your spiritual power and yourabundance.
And that is what you areharnessing in that, in that
dream, because what happens whenyou wake up, every time, even
(24:33):
though you may have been feelingthat, that fear or that Sense
of doom, every time you jumpright in, you go right into the
water and you know you have tofight it.
(24:53):
And you end up with thisextreme sense of exhilaration
and you're buzzing with thisinsane energy.
And what is that but yourenergetic spiritual power?
Wow.
(25:14):
And that really is you, you know, showing you how powerful you
are and how much resilience andabundance that you are able to
achieve and that you really cango off the tracks and still be
(25:34):
in control of this seeminglyuncontrollable situation, this
unpredictability of life.
But that the three really is isthe creation element, and it
appears so many times throughouthistory, and you know esoteric
philosophy and metaphysics andeverything, but it's, it's
(25:56):
really that creation point.
And so the fact the waves comein threes and then there's a
lull and you can, you know,gather yourself there.
I have no doubt that that isreally, you know that, the power
of that coming through.
Ruth Fae (26:17):
Wow, that's amazing and it does make an awful lot of
sense.
But it's funny because I guessI kind of got used to them over
the years so I did just do that.
Oh, change is happening, andparticularly when you know it
got to the point where I had thewave dream and my ex-husband
was like oh, you pregnant againand sure enough, like um, so it
(26:39):
sort of became I guess I didn't,it just kind of became a habit,
like I didn't look into it.
But when I look at my life,like the whole timeline of it,
and then recognize how that haschanged.
And then the last few years Ihave been connecting more to my
creativity, my spirituality, mywho I am, was only two months
(27:01):
ago that I was in floods oftears saying I don't know who I
am Like, what if I don't likemyself?
Like really in a hole.
But I do like myself and I doknow who I am.
But sometimes it can be scary.
So that is a really beautiful.
I really appreciate yourexplanation because it's a
(27:23):
beautiful validation that I'mgiving myself and not even
knowing I'm doing it, which isso special like wow.
I know I keep saying that, butit's astounding.
Megan Mary (27:35):
Yes, absolutely, and it's.
it's empowering right that's whyI call it dream empowerment,
because when you start to seewhat you're, you know, really
capable of, and it's so muchpart of a spiritual awakening or
remembering or journey to havethose existential questions
(27:57):
about who am I really and I'mnot who I thought I was.
And it's because you have toexperience a death in your ego
to actually let the light in andpass up through the realms of
the spiritual levels.
And so you do experience totaldestruction of that and it's
(28:22):
devastating and confusingbecause you have to die.
The who you thought you werehas to die because it's it's not
.
It's an illusion and it's a 3Dconstruct that's preventing you
from actually being who youreally are in the universal
(28:43):
sense.
And so many times that can bewhy you're seeing that
destruction and death and whythere's fear around it, because
it is a dismantling of thatfoundation that we all cling to.
Ruth Fae (29:05):
Yeah, and it's so easy to focus on the waves,
obviously, but the darkness andthe threat and the warm ping and
, like I, when I just even thinkof that dream, it's like I'm
this little person and there'sthis like tsunami type wave,
like they're huge.
And, having said that, I'vealways been fascinated by waves,
(29:27):
so it kind of makes sense.
But seeing it from theperspective that you've brought
in, it's not about the dark andthe yes, that is part of it, but
there's more to it than justfocusing on the fear and the
scary.
And sometimes, when I'd wake upand be exhilarated, I'm like
I've just dreamt about peopledrowning and buildings being
(29:48):
destroyed.
Why am I feeling so full ofenergy?
And that's one of the things Ijust never understood.
I was like maybe I'm just crazy.
Megan Mary (29:56):
So yeah, so that makes a lot of sense, yes, and
it's because it's really doingthe work for you and showing you
what's possible when youdismantle that and allowing the
creation that springs from thatdestruction and from letting
(30:18):
that be dissolved essentially,and that the space that that
paves the way and what thatopens up for for you when that
happens, and, of course, thatwhen that happens, change does
come into your life becauseyou're coming more into
alignment with that universalself and letting go of that
(30:43):
egoic 3D self.
Ruth Fae (30:47):
Wow, so you give me so much to think about, but I'm
like bursting with excitementabout it all.
All right, yeah, it feelsamazing.
Megan Mary (30:58):
All right.
So now I'm going to pull anOracle card for you and see what
what the card has to say aboutthis dream.
I knew it would have water,great adventure.
(31:40):
And the message is take a risk,venture forward.
Wow.
So that really is so much.
I mean, look at what'shappening in the picture and it
(32:01):
is a person standing at the helmof a ship.
Yeah, and they're just superlyconfident and striving forward
on those you know, tumultuouswaves, and that really
represents quite well the themeof the dream and also your
(32:30):
actions and your presence inthat dream story.
So you are taking risks all thetime.
When that happens, you'rediving in, you're risking your
livelihood yourself.
You know that if you don'tyou'll die, but that you have to
(32:52):
still.
And you know the venturingforward is also very much
reflecting of you driving thebus, driving the roller coaster,
going off the track.
You know, really having agencyin the direction of your life.
Ruth Fae (33:20):
That is such a beautiful validation because my
life has changed greatly overthe last few years and it's been
hard and, yeah, that makes anawful lot of sense.
But in you know, when you makechoices and it affects other
(33:41):
people, there is a level ofguilt and sadness and you know,
if I'd made a different choice,that person wouldn't have felt
that way or it wouldn't affectpeople in a particular way.
And a lot of the work I've beendoing on myself is
understanding that and trying tonot think into that guilt and
fear and all of those emotionsthat come along with that.
(34:02):
So, yeah, I really appreciatethat and I appreciate my
subconscious for letting me knowthat, even if I wasn't aware,
but also the universe forintroducing me to you so you
could help me see this.
Oh, yes, Very beautiful?
Megan Mary (34:18):
Yes, yeah, and I was .
I was so lucky to have you as aspeaker on my embracing lunar
wisdom summit, which was soamazing, and so something else I
want to mention at the end hereis that part of what I like to
encourage people to do ispractice what I call dream
integration, and that is where Iuse a different modalities,
(34:43):
like affirmations, journalprompts, sound frequencies,
visualizations, meditation, tointegrate what you've learned
today, and so one of the thingsthat you can do and you can find
this online is look for the 396Hertz frequency, because that
(35:07):
specific frequency, when youlisten to it on a regular basis,
operates to liberate you fromfear and guilt, and so what you
were just talking about is goingto subconsciously raise your
vibrational frequency so thatyou can more easily transmute
(35:32):
those emotions, and you willstart to see the effect in this
recurring dream.
Once you start to understandyour dream language and the
different messages that it'ssending you, many times the
recurring dream will cease orchange because you finally
(35:55):
understood what it's trying totell you, and it can also just
change the scenario.
So it'll be interesting, nowthat you have this new
perspective on it, take sometime and reflect on it, and in
those times, listen to thatsound healing as a way to
(36:17):
advance you forward.
Ruth Fae (36:19):

Ruth Fae (00:39):
Hello, thank you for having me.
Megan Mary (00:41):
It's wonderful to have you here, and today we are
going to be doing a very specialdream session, and Ruth has so
kindly shared her, one of herrecurring dreams in all its
forms with us today to discussand delve into.
And so first I'm just going to,before I read the dream, I'm
(01:04):
just going to read a little bitabout the background that you
shared along with the dream, andthat is that your grandmother,
maternal grandmother, was aspiritual medium who died before
you were born, and that she hadthe quote unquote site but
(01:24):
turned her back on it many moonsago.
And as a young child you hadpremonitions, often through your
dreams, but as life progressed,as so many do, you lost touch
with your intuition and innerknowing, but that during the
past few years of healing andopening to your spirituality,
your dreams have become a portalto receive guidance and
(01:46):
messages, and I love thatbecause that is exactly what I
feel they are, and so I'm reallyexcited to hear more about your
dreams and share them witheverybody.
Ruth Fae (02:01):
Thank you.
It's funny hearing you readthat like you're reading it out
and I'm like did I actuallywrite that?
It's all true, but it's such a.
It's strange hearing your wordsreflected back to you sometimes
.
Megan Mary (02:11):
Yes, and I'm going to be saying that too.
At some point did I write thatyeah, you are.
Ruth Fae (02:17):
Yes.
Megan Mary (02:19):
So the dream that you have chosen the title is the
Wave Dream.
Now being that this is arecurring dream, you said that
you started having it when youmoved to Australia from the UK
when you were 10.
And that that's really when itstarted.
(02:39):
But there's been so manyiterations of it over time that
you know that this is kind of anamalgamy of all those different
versions rather than just one,which is, which is fine, because
it'll give us the perspectiveon what's the same and how it
changes over the course of time.
(03:00):
So I'm going to read whatyou've written here and then
we'll go back to the beginning.
Ruth Fae (03:08):
OK, there's probably a lot.
I have a feeling I wrote a lot,yes.
Megan Mary (03:13):
OK, ok, so let's see .
Basically, you call it the WaveDream, as the main storyline is
that I am somewhere near thecoast, sometimes at the beach or
on a cliff top, or nearby in ahouse or shop and huge waves
come into the shore.
They pick up people some I know, some I don't, but since having
(03:33):
kids, they're always in it.
Every time.
It's terrifying, yetexhilarating, and I wake up full
of energy, almost buzzing withit.
Although the circumstances varyin each dream, the overarching
theme is that I'm rescuingpeople, usually while in the
water, grabbing hands, body,surfing the waves back to shore,
(03:55):
often getting q "dumped" andstruggling to breathe and break
through the water and so on.
There's such power in the waves.
In the dream, people die notusually people, I know, but I
and my loved ones always surviveIn an interesting change.
The most recent one involved medriving a roller coaster filled
(04:18):
with my family while the waveschased us.
They are huge and broke theroller coaster track as we
climbed higher and higher,racing against time to reach
safety.
The one before that I wasdriving a bus.
Escaping is a theme, plusrescuing, and I recall being
scared but also diving back intothe water every time and the
(04:41):
feelings of exhilaration arestrong.
I have noticed that I alwaysdream this dream right before a
major change happens in my life.
Every time I was pregnant, forexample, but before I knew that
as an adult, and especially as amom.
When I woke up, wake up, Ialways say, oh, I had the wave
dream.
I wonder what's going to happennext.
(05:01):
And, sure enough, somethinglife changing does.
I feel that it's a nod tosomething going to happen, but I
also feel that there are partsof it I just don't understand,
although writing this is givingme some insight.
Sometimes there is almostapocalyptic feel as houses, the
(05:21):
shoreline and people aredestroyed.
It's also about fighting forsurvival and safety, and the
waves always come in threes,getting bigger and bigger and
more destructive, before a briefrest and then it starts again.
I have a sense of them toweringover me.
There's impending doom, fearand the need to face it all and
(05:46):
jump into the water, as doingnothing will result in death.
This was different in therecent roller coaster one, as I
was in the water, then fled andfound the roller coaster to take
us to safety.
I can't think of anything elseand I'm not sure if I've done
the dreams justice as they feelso clear and so real.
(06:08):
I have actually woken up timeswith sore legs from kicking in
the water and absolutelyexhausted physically, although
filled with this insane energyat the same time.
Ruth Fae (06:23):
Wow, Hearing you read that has made it.
It's made me quite emotional.
Megan Mary (06:31):
Yes, that's understandable, yes, and I do
ask you about your mood.
And in general, you say youknow, aside from all the,
there's a lot of emotion statedin the dream, but that when you
wake up you're not really sure,you just feel, you know, full of
(06:52):
energy, the insane energy.
And then I did ask you aboutcolors we'll talk about that and
people.
So when we look at the settinginitially, when we first look at
a dream and we look at thelandscape, the landscape many
(07:15):
times is going to set the stagefor the origination of the
emotions and the story, and sothe stage is the coast as well
as the beach, possibly cliff,top, shore or in the water.
(07:40):
And when we consider elementsin a dream, when we look at
earth, air, fire and water, manytimes the element of water is
metaphorically a presentation ofemotions, and so that can be
rain, it can be a puddle, it canbe a bathtub or it can be the
(08:05):
ocean.
And so when we look at being onthe coast, the shore, many
times that is this dividing linebetween the elements, the
mixture of the two, the placewhere the emotions kind of start
(08:29):
to dissipate into the landright, and especially when we
look at cliffs.
That even more accentuates themetaphorical cliff, the drop off
, the transition, the changepoint.
(08:49):
And then when you're in thewater, you're really in the
thick of it, particularly ifyou're being overwhelmed by it.
So the waves, being very largeby no surprise, are definitely
the emotional tides of your lifeand when you are in that scene,
(09:18):
the different emotions thatthat creates are tell us, get us
at that underlying meaning andthat underlying message, and
also the mood that you have whenyou wake up, the way that you
feel, that exhilaration.
And so when we look at theobjects in the dream, really
(09:43):
it's just that the wavesthemselves.
Now, in the recent version, asof writing, as of the time of
writing, there was a rollercoaster, which is a totally
different object introduction,although the theme is still
consistent with the previousdreams and then in another one,
(10:04):
you had a bus.
Now, what I like about both ofthose is that you are driving,
because there are many times indreams where you had your car is
broken down, you're going fromvehicle to vehicle and you don't
have your keys, you can't getit started, you can't control it
(10:25):
.
I mean, there's so manydifferent scenarios, and so you
consider what the oppositescenario would be.
And you recognize that it'svery significant that you're
driving, particularly because noone drives a roller coaster.
So the fact that you're drivingthat is really showing a lot of
(10:48):
agency and control from yoursubconscious about your
situation, however tumultuous itmay be.
The fact that you're driving isvery, very good sign.
Now, when we look at the actionsand if I were to kind of just
(11:09):
take out the actions and I knowthis isn't one dream, but we'll
look at it almost like a wordsalad we have pickup people,
grabbing hands, body surfing,getting dumped, struggling to
breathe, break through the water.
People die, always survive.
(11:31):
Driving a roller coaster brokethe roller coaster track,
racing against time.
Driving a bus, climbed c higherand higher, take us to safety.
Towering over me, people andhouses destroyed.
Now, in the way that you wrotethat down, just the way that
(11:54):
your mind formulated the lexiconof all those different versions
that are the, you know thestoryline of your life and put
them into that one paragraph toexplain it, and the order in
which those words came out, andthe word choice is also really
(12:17):
significant.
So there is a lot of strugglebut a lot of resiliency and the
fact that you always survive andthat you are breaking through
the surface and that you'reescaping the water is also
(12:46):
showing your resiliency.
It's your subconscious lettingyou know that you have that
power to rise above that, youhave that power to control, that
, you have that power to escapethat and that you're rescuing.
When you were rescuing peopleall the time, you're actually
(13:06):
rescuing yourself, because thosepeople can be all aspects of
yourself and there are thingsabout yourself that you're
calling back in.
You're calling back in yourpower and you're rescuing them
and you're keeping them abovewater and you're integrating
(13:27):
them into yourself and you'renot letting them die because you
always survive, because you'veintegrated, reintegrated them.
And that's the same for anykind of dream.
I like to say, okay, look atthe people in your dream,
because many times they can justbe metaphorical aspects of
(13:52):
yourself.
Wow, so goodness.
I also really like, of course,that how writing it down for you
started.
You started to get that insightjust by writing it down.
Yes, that is.
(14:13):
You know, the dreamjournaling's power demonstrated
right there.
And a lot of people just don'tanticipate and don't see how
powerful that can be till theystart doing it, and then,
because it requires atransference.
So first you have to transferit from your subconscious to
your conscious and you have tobring it from the theta state
(14:35):
into the beta state and then youhave to transfer it from your
conscious into another part ofyour brain.
That's going to actuallyformulate it into words and
explain it, because you have itall up here, but then you have
to start to verbalize it and youhave to start to explain it to
someone else.
It's like, okay, how do I evendescribe this?
(14:55):
And when you do that processyou start to get those synapse
connections that let you see iteven clearer, in a way that if
you had just sat there andthought about it, wouldn't.
Ruth Fae (15:13):
And then you forget them, right?
I dream very vividly, generallyspeaking, and I often wake up
and say to my partner oh, I hadthis dream like this happened,
this happened.
And then go into this half anhour conversation about what
happened and he's always sayingwrite it down, like this is
making an amazing story, writeit down, this is your book like.
(15:34):
Write it down Absolutely, and Inever do.
And then it goes.
I forget.
Megan Mary (15:39):
Yes, and that's.
It is absolutely your book andyour story.
Yep, Because that's where mybook came from, and I highly
encourage everybody to writethem down not even if you're not
planning on writing a book justbecause the reflective nature
of doing that is so powerful.
So, going back to the rollercoaster specifically, dream.
(16:06):
So I really like that you aredriving the roller coaster and I
also like that it broke thewaves, broke the roller coaster
track, and so, really, if youthink about the object of a
(16:28):
roller coaster, if I didn't knowwhat one was and I'd never seen
one what would you say?
The purpose of a roller coasteris?
Ruth Fae (16:43):
I guess the purpose of a roller coaster is obviously a
fun ride.
I hate roller coasters, justgoing to put that out there.
They're terrifying me.
I will not go on them unless Iabsolutely have to prove
something to my children, whichI just pretty much don't do
anymore.
So I'm not a big fan of them.
But I guess in asking thatquestion a roller coaster
usually goes on a route and ends, whereas in my dream it just
(17:08):
kept going up and up and up andit wasn't that circle, circle up
.
It was.
Yes, there were loops and yes,there were up and down parts of
it, but it was always goingupwards.
There was never that back tothe bit where you get on and off
.
Megan Mary (17:24):
And see that's really important.
That detail isn't in this, andso had I not asked you to
explain just in general a rollercoaster not even that one I
wouldn't have gotten that detail.
And it's really important toconsider how it's different from
real life.
And so you really hit the nailon the head it doesn't, it's not
(17:45):
in a loop, and not only is itgoing down, down, down down,
it's going up, up, up, up, andso both of those things are
really significant.
Also, that the track is broken,so the way it's supposed to go,
(18:06):
the predetermined path has beencut off, has been demolished,
the houses possibly demolished,other things possibly demolished
, but you still find a new pathand you continue to go up and up
(18:27):
and up and climb higher andhigher, racing against time to
reach safety, and I really likethat racing against time part.
I think this is.
It's that intensity that isfueling that exhilaration that
(18:50):
you achieve, and I really justlike that.
You go off the track prettymuch and just survive and are
elevated in doing so.
Also and in that dream youmentioned that it's a gray and
(19:16):
ominous setting, like a stormyday wasn't bright and sunny, or
that it's usually not, but thatdream had a lot of yellow in it,
the roller coaster dream and Ilike to use Robert Hoss' color
theory because he has a lot ofreally interesting questions
(19:40):
around colors and what he saysis that the statements are not
the meaning of the color butthey're meant to trigger the
personal association with thatcolor in that dream scenario and
I think, based on when you hadthis dream, you will find that
it is spot on for many of these.
(20:01):
So I feel a sense of joy andoptimism.
I feel alert.
I am seeking a solution thatwill open up new and better
possibilities and allow my hopesto be fulfilled.
I feel the new direction istaking I am taking will bring
happiness in my future.
I am hopeful.
I need to find a way out ofthis circumstance or
(20:24):
relationship.
I need to change my actions,maybe compensating for something
.
I may be acting impulsively, soI really feel like at that time
it was the.
I feel the new direction I amtaking.
I need to find a way out ofthis circumstance or
(20:46):
relationship.
I need a change.
And there you were, drivingthat roller coaster.
Ruth Fae (20:54):
Which was yellow.
It's fabulous.
Megan Mary (20:57):
I mean, it's really, it's so spot on.
Yeah, yes.
And also you say that you know,in general usually it's very
gray and that a lot of thosedream settings are dark and
(21:18):
stormy, I would say, and hisassociations that he has down
for gray are free of color.
Right, I want to shield myselffrom those feelings.
I feel emotionally distant,only an observer.
It is as if I'm standing asidewatching myself go through the
motions.
I want to remain uncommitted,shielded, separated.
(21:39):
I don't want to make a decisionthat will require my emotional
involvement.
I have put up with too much andnow wish to avoid any further
emotional involvement and I'mtrying to escape an anxious
situation.
So I think that the you know,the overall theme of the dark
(21:59):
and stormy waters is thoseemotional, that emotional
involvement or attempt to detachfrom it or attempt to figure
out how to maneuver through it.
But the yellow occurrence isone of the reasons why recording
, recording dreams over time canbe so powerful, because if you
(22:22):
just recorded one, you'd say,well, this is, this is me
struggling, and you know, Idon't see how to get out of this
.
But there you are, finding yourway out of this, and your
family as well, and really beingthe rescuer for not just your
(22:43):
family but for yourself, out ofthat situation.
So I really love that, thatroller coaster version.
I too, yes, and I think that ingeneral, the theme is, you know,
(23:04):
the escaping, rescuing, butalso the power of waves and the
destruction, because I think thedestructive nature and the
sheer force of that element onthe earth is also a power of
creation.
(23:25):
Yeah, so by when something isends or when something's
destroyed, it makes room forsomething new to be built, and
so when you see those housesbeing destroyed or other people
succumbing to it, that is reallythe metaphorical ending of
(23:48):
those other parts of your lifeand other aspects of yourself
that you're letting go and thatyou're releasing, and I really
like that.
The waves come in threes,because I talk about this a lot.
Tesla said that three, six andnine hold the key to universe.
(24:10):
Yeah, so three symbolizesgrowth and your creations and
your spiritual power and yourabundance.
And that is what you areharnessing in that, in that
dream, because what happens whenyou wake up, every time, even
(24:33):
though you may have been feelingthat, that fear or that Sense
of doom, every time you jumpright in, you go right into the
water and you know you have tofight it.
(24:53):
And you end up with thisextreme sense of exhilaration
and you're buzzing with thisinsane energy.
And what is that but yourenergetic spiritual power?
Wow.
(25:14):
And that really is you, you know, showing you how powerful you
are and how much resilience andabundance that you are able to
achieve and that you really cango off the tracks and still be
(25:34):
in control of this seeminglyuncontrollable situation, this
unpredictability of life.
But that the three really is isthe creation element, and it
appears so many times throughouthistory, and you know esoteric
philosophy and metaphysics andeverything, but it's, it's
(25:56):
really that creation point.
And so the fact the waves comein threes and then there's a
lull and you can, you know,gather yourself there.
I have no doubt that that isreally, you know that, the power
of that coming through.
Ruth Fae (26:17):
Wow, that's amazing and it does make an awful lot of
sense.
But it's funny because I guessI kind of got used to them over
the years so I did just do that.
Oh, change is happening, andparticularly when you know it
got to the point where I had thewave dream and my ex-husband
was like oh, you pregnant againand sure enough, like um, so it
(26:39):
sort of became I guess I didn't,it just kind of became a habit,
like I didn't look into it.
But when I look at my life,like the whole timeline of it,
and then recognize how that haschanged.
And then the last few years Ihave been connecting more to my
creativity, my spirituality, mywho I am, was only two months
(27:01):
ago that I was in floods oftears saying I don't know who I
am Like, what if I don't likemyself?
Like really in a hole.
But I do like myself and I doknow who I am.
But sometimes it can be scary.
So that is a really beautiful.
I really appreciate yourexplanation because it's a
(27:23):
beautiful validation that I'mgiving myself and not even
knowing I'm doing it, which isso special like wow.
I know I keep saying that, butit's astounding.
Megan Mary (27:35):
Yes, absolutely, and it's.
it's empowering right that's whyI call it dream empowerment,
because when you start to seewhat you're, you know, really
capable of, and it's so muchpart of a spiritual awakening or
remembering or journey to havethose existential questions
(27:57):
about who am I really and I'mnot who I thought I was.
And it's because you have toexperience a death in your ego
to actually let the light in andpass up through the realms of
the spiritual levels.
And so you do experience totaldestruction of that and it's
(28:22):
devastating and confusingbecause you have to die.
The who you thought you werehas to die because it's it's not
.
It's an illusion and it's a 3Dconstruct that's preventing you
from actually being who youreally are in the universal
(28:43):
sense.
And so many times that can bewhy you're seeing that
destruction and death and whythere's fear around it, because
it is a dismantling of thatfoundation that we all cling to.
Ruth Fae (29:05):
Yeah, and it's so easy to focus on the waves,
obviously, but the darkness andthe threat and the warm ping and
, like I, when I just even thinkof that dream, it's like I'm
this little person and there'sthis like tsunami type wave,
like they're huge.
And, having said that, I'vealways been fascinated by waves,
(29:27):
so it kind of makes sense.
But seeing it from theperspective that you've brought
in, it's not about the dark andthe yes, that is part of it, but
there's more to it than justfocusing on the fear and the
scary.
And sometimes, when I'd wake upand be exhilarated, I'm like
I've just dreamt about peopledrowning and buildings being
(29:48):
destroyed.
Why am I feeling so full ofenergy?
And that's one of the things Ijust never understood.
I was like maybe I'm just crazy.
Megan Mary (29:56):
So yeah, so that makes a lot of sense, yes, and
it's because it's really doingthe work for you and showing you
what's possible when youdismantle that and allowing the
creation that springs from thatdestruction and from letting
(30:18):
that be dissolved essentially,and that the space that that
paves the way and what thatopens up for for you when that
happens, and, of course, thatwhen that happens, change does
come into your life becauseyou're coming more into
alignment with that universalself and letting go of that
(30:43):
egoic 3D self.
Ruth Fae (30:47):
Wow, so you give me so much to think about, but I'm
like bursting with excitementabout it all.
All right, yeah, it feelsamazing.
Megan Mary (30:58):
All right.
So now I'm going to pull anOracle card for you and see what
what the card has to say aboutthis dream.
I knew it would have water,great adventure.
(31:40):
And the message is take a risk,venture forward.
Wow.
So that really is so much.
I mean, look at what'shappening in the picture and it
(32:01):
is a person standing at the helmof a ship.
Yeah, and they're just superlyconfident and striving forward
on those you know, tumultuouswaves, and that really
represents quite well the themeof the dream and also your
(32:30):
actions and your presence inthat dream story.
So you are taking risks all thetime.
When that happens, you'rediving in, you're risking your
livelihood yourself.
You know that if you don'tyou'll die, but that you have to
(32:52):
still.
And you know the venturingforward is also very much
reflecting of you driving thebus, driving the roller coaster,
going off the track.
You know, really having agencyin the direction of your life.
Ruth Fae (33:20):
That is such a beautiful validation because my
life has changed greatly overthe last few years and it's been
hard and, yeah, that makes anawful lot of sense.
But in you know, when you makechoices and it affects other
(33:41):
people, there is a level ofguilt and sadness and you know,
if I'd made a different choice,that person wouldn't have felt
that way or it wouldn't affectpeople in a particular way.
And a lot of the work I've beendoing on myself is
understanding that and trying tonot think into that guilt and
fear and all of those emotionsthat come along with that.
(34:02):
So, yeah, I really appreciatethat and I appreciate my
subconscious for letting me knowthat, even if I wasn't aware,
but also the universe forintroducing me to you so you
could help me see this.
Oh, yes, Very beautiful?
Megan Mary (34:18):
Yes, yeah, and I was .
I was so lucky to have you as aspeaker on my embracing lunar
wisdom summit, which was soamazing, and so something else I
want to mention at the end hereis that part of what I like to
encourage people to do ispractice what I call dream
integration, and that is where Iuse a different modalities,
(34:43):
like affirmations, journalprompts, sound frequencies,
visualizations, meditation, tointegrate what you've learned
today, and so one of the thingsthat you can do and you can find
this online is look for the 396Hertz frequency, because that
(35:07):
specific frequency, when youlisten to it on a regular basis,
operates to liberate you fromfear and guilt, and so what you
were just talking about is goingto subconsciously raise your
vibrational frequency so thatyou can more easily transmute
(35:32):
those emotions, and you willstart to see the effect in this
recurring dream.
Once you start to understandyour dream language and the
different messages that it'ssending you, many times the
recurring dream will cease orchange because you finally
(35:55):
understood what it's trying totell you, and it can also just
change the scenario.
So it'll be interesting, nowthat you have this new
perspective on it, take sometime and reflect on it, and in
those times, listen to thatsound healing as a way to
(36:17):
advance you forward.
Ruth Fae (36:19):
