What About the Strong Emotions in My Recent Dream?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Core, who had a recent dream where they woke and felt strong emotions. It felt like the dream actually happened. Maybe not in the exact form of the dream, but a similar scenario.
The Council says there was a lot coming from your subconscious, which is trying to deal with your emotions. It almost feels like your heart, where you store emotions, sort of exploded. A mish-mash of emotions and ideas that were coming through the subconscious in this dream.
These emotions are for you to feel, then release, and see what energy it’s bringing up for you in this particular life. What images do these feelings bring up? Where are they taking you?
There were other emotions in that dream that were also trying to come through. Some emotions from past lives, some from your current life, but more than a message from another life or from spirit, it was your subconscious trying to grab onto some idea and some feeling you could work on. There were many feelings that were trying to come up in this dream – love, abandonment, relationships, and self-doubt.
The best advice we can give you is to find the feeling from that dream and meditate on it. In your meditation ask for images. Pay attention to how these images make you feel. Go into that feeling. When you go into the feeling, different ideas and images can pop up. But because there was an intertwining of so many emotions, we suggest working with one emotion at a time.
And rather than going by the emotion in the dream, go by what’s going on for you in your everyday life. What emotion do you feel? Why do you feel it? What kicked the emotion off? It’s as if the emotions you have inside you that you want to deal with in your current lifetime are exploding all over the place.
Your job in your current life is to take stock of what you’re feeling on a daily basis because there’s so much going on. What are you feeling? Go into that emotion. Why are you feeling that way? Where do you think this feeling could be coming from? How would you like to feel? Do you want more of this feeling or less of it?
As you go through each emotion, picture yourself letting it go so your energy can become lighter. You make room for more clarity and more love to come in. It’s the lesson of searching. It’s the lesson of acknowledging and accomplishing what you wanted in your current life. And because there are so many emotions that you’ve gone into in other lifetimes, it’s all coming up at one time and you’re having difficulty handling it. As we said, there was such an explosion of ideas, emotions, and images that wanted to come through. The only way you can start to go through this is to understand how you feel on a daily basis.
At some point in your day if you feel anger, ask yourself what set that off? If you feel love, what set that off? Think about what you want and what you don’t want. Ask yourself how you can replace what you don’t want. Say the words, “I’m releasing energies from past lives that are hindering this life. I’m healing them and letting them go.” As you think of this, clarity will come and one emotion at a time you’re life will move forward. It’ll put you in a place where you can absorb the lighter energy and create happiness. That is what you and your subconscious are trying to get you to do in this lifetime.
Core says, I’m wondering if this dream is just a story created from my subconscious doing its normal processing, or perhaps it actually happened to me in some form, maybe as a past life or a parallel life? The Council says it’s definitely part of the normal processing. The story is from your many pasts. There are lives that touched on this dream, but we have to say here, it’s not the lives that are important. It’s the feeling.
We always bring you to a place where whatever you’re going through, you better understand what you’re trying to do, and how it affects your current life? Emotions are what you’re trying to heal in your current lifetime. You went through something similar in other lifetimes, but that’s not important. What’s important is the feeling you woke up with. Work on that.
Every day take time to examine what you’re feeling, even if it’s only ten minutes. What are you feeling? Why am I feeling that? It helps your subconscious to try and pull everything together, and it helps you know what’s affecting your life and the way you feel. You want to grow. By examining your feelings you are acknowledging yourself, understanding yourself, and healing. This is what’s important right now.
Core says, I’m also curious to know about the person who appeared in my dream. The Council says this person that appeared in your dream is a combination of many people you’ve dealt with in other lifetimes. Your subconscious brings this through as one person to make it easier for you, but this one person represents many. The Council repeats, forget the person and forget the past lives. What are you feeling? It’s your job to understand your feelings, your emotions, and your thoughts that bring the feeling into your awareness.
The Council closes by saying they can promise if Core does the meditations, and acknowledges their feelings, and tries to figure out what causes these feelings, there will be much growth moving forward and the life Core creates will become better and better.

Welcome
Bob & Cynthia
Welcome to Ask The Council, a blog where you can ask a group of loving and wise spirit guides a question and get an answer, for free. You can also contact us for a paid private phone session with The Council, and you can read the questions other readers have asked and the answers they’ve received. Other posts contain quotations from The Council that we hope you find inspiring, uplifting, and educational.
Ask The Council a Question
If there’s a question you’ve been thinking about and you’re curious how The Council might answer it, we encourage you to either use the blog’s Comments feature to ask your question, or contact us for a private phone session. You can click here to go to the ‘Let us know what you think about this post, or ask The Council a question’ section of this Welcome post and type your question there or you can type your question in the same section at the bottom of any post that inspires you to ask a question or leave a comment.
Since the blog is currently a project we do in our spare time it can take a while for us to do a session with The Council on a question and then publish a post on the session. Depending on the question and the session it can sometimes take weeks after a question is asked to publish a post with The Council’s answer. Please be patient.
The Council
Cynthia is able to communicate with a group of five non-physical spirit guides in a manner similar to the way Esther Hicks communicates with and speaks for the spirit guides, Abraham, and Jane Roberts communicated and spoke for the spirit guide, Seth. I (Bob) basically interview The Council as they speak through Cynthia during what we refer to as a session. Sessions generally last 5-15 minutes and are usually audio recorded. During the session Cynthia is aware of what The Council is saying and she also receives visual impressions and other types of telepathic communication from them.
The Council’s Basic Guidance
Since we began these sessions with The Council around 2009 they consistently emphasize a few basic ideas that we attempt to summarize here:
1) You are an eternal spiritual being in a physical body.
You are the energy and vibration of continuously expanding love, intelligence, and joy.
Your physical experience in your physical body and your psychological experience of your personality is a small part of the totality of who you truly are.
Let yourself imagine from time to time what it might feel like to experience more of the wondrous totality of who you really are, and don’t be surprised if you are able to experience this more often.
2) You are the creator of all that you experience.
As you open to the possibility your true nature is greater than you ordinarily perceive, it becomes easier to consider the possibility that this expanded you is truly the creator of everything that you experience.
If you’re used to thinking of yourself in a more limited sense, the idea that you are the creator of your experience may be difficult to understand. Our post, What About This Idea That We Create Whatever We Desire, offers insights into this idea.
3) You are here to expand the love you are into physical reality.
You chose, as a spiritual being, to come into this physical reality to experience the joy of expanding the love you are as a spiritual being, into this physical reality. This is your purpose for being here.

Hello! I was hoping that the Council could speak to some doubt that I am having over my future career. I spoke to them about a year ago in a private session, and they said that I was meant to have these doubts and eventually move away from my current path, and that a new one would appear when I’m ready. If I remember correctly, they also said I should envision what kind of new career (preferably one in arts) that I would like to do.
I’m still working on this, trying to envision what I want to do, but the only things I’ve realized for sure is that 1) I want to be able to work everyday with my partner, or at least work from home with them; and that 2) I want to be able to do different kinds of things for work that will add variety and excitement to my days. I’d love to do creative work, but I can’t seem to settle on just one medium. I would love to write children’s books, but also teach at a private level, on a university level, and perhaps enlarged my own little online craft store. I would also like to have the financial stability to both dabble and live a slower life. How attainable is this kind of life for me?
It feels exciting to think about the different possibilities, especially since I found an old house in Japan that is my ideal place to live. I keep imagining living there and making a school out of an old storehouse. But I’m feeling like I did when I was younger, where I know the end goal, but am not sure how to get there. I am trying to daydream a lot and stay positive, but sometimes I feel anxious about not really knowing where I am going. Is there any other kinds of activities that I should be doing besides positive thinking, daydreaming, and doing things I enjoy to help me connect with that new path (and maybe that gorgeous old house)?
Finally, I think I’ve been pretty successful with manifesting financial abundance and opportunities, but part of me worries that will become harder if I step off my current path, since it is one that offers so many privileges. I ideally would like to have enough money to live slowly and easily. Do you have any advice for me regarding manifesting or ways to continuing to experience financial abundance?
I am so grateful for your—and Bob and Cynthia’s—time. Thank you very much to you all for your support and kindness.
