1941
 |
| Firestorm |
I had a dream yesterday morning and it was a message from my Dad but deciphering it turned out to be a problem.
I could see his handwriting and signature in the upper left hand corner of a magazine page he wanted me to see but was unable to make out what he wrote as I was prevented to get close to it in order to read what it said.
I don't know why as I believe it would have shed much more light on the meaning of this dream.
He had flattened the magazine he wanted me to look at like a pancake and left it on a table.
He wanted me to look at the picture on the left page before I would be able to view the one on the right.
There definitely was a certain protocol involved.
I looked at the picture on the left and it immediately looked like an old WWII poster.
There were three people, a blonde haired woman in the foreground and two men in the background (I think both of them were in uniform) and all of them in their late twenties or early thirties.
The woman appeared to be a civilian saluting or maybe just shielding her eyes from the sun as she looked upward.
There was a warm glow I could feel emanating from the poster.
She was wearing a dress reminiscent of the 1940s - soft cream color and dotted with petite pink flowers and a white lace collar around her neck.
The overall colors of this poster were creams, pale yellows and blues.
I now knew I was looking at a poster depicting life 80 years ago.
I could feel the warmth of the sun as it shone softly down on them and the optimism of the people.
Then I turned to look at the one on the right.
This one showed a massive fire, a raging firestorm, burning embers filtering through the air, sizzling and crackling sounds from the inferno, orange and red flames shooting up into the air like geysers along with ash raining down.
I asked, "what does this mean?
I then saw these letters - CST.
I think I saw another letter (R) in front of the letters CST or maybe it was right after but don't recall if it was before the letters or after.
Right after this a word entered my mind and I'm not going to say what it is other than it could be defined as "otherworldly."
I have some thoughts regarding what this all means but will not post until I do further research and try to come up with at least one plausible explanation.

----------------------------
Dream Interpretation:
My Dad passed in 2005 at the age of 87. He was first a horse soldier in the Army Air Corps, then put himself through college under Operation Bootstrap in which he got his B.A. He was a WWII, Korean War and Vietnam era Veteran.
He saw his "fair" share of savagery, bravery, tragedy and carnage while overseas and many of what he endured he kept to himself.
I like to think he's providing us with info he feels is important we know. Maybe he has a better seat now and is much better at seeing our comings and goings.
&&&&&
The sun represents male energy and the sun's zodiac sign is Leo. Leo means masculinity, dynamism, fearlessness, strong energy and getting the job done.
Page on the Left: The blonde haired woman in the foreground belongs to the suit of Cups (which rule emotions), an emotional and spiritual woman, motherly with good maternal instincts.
She is using her hand as a shield (shielding her eyes from the "glare" of the sun) because she is blinded by the Light of Truth. She is unable to see what is happening to her and around her because she has limited views, is avoiding or denying the facts surrounding her present situation.
A shield is a signal you need to start making preparations in order to protect those things that mean the most to you - your family, friends and future.
Her cream colored dress represents being in a state of neutrality.
The petite pink flowers dotting her dress are gentleness, joy and grace which defines her suit.
The two young men in the background and to her left are Tarot Pages who are still developing a sense of self and unafraid to face challenges, full of energy, excitement and confidence.
The deep blue (indigo) color of their uniforms means the unknown, deep emotions, strength and the ability to effectively analyze and deal with multiple situations.
The feeling is they are (hanging around and waiting in the background) to be called into action at the appropriate time.
Page on the Right: The raging inferno colors of orange and red indicate war, anger, aggression and primal urges.
All in all I would say that this dream is telling us that something coming, an unpleasant event or situation, something that many of us are still unwilling to talk about or even consider, have not given much thought to, but one that is rapidly approaching.
We are being asked to confront our fears, realize the truth of what is happening not only to us but the world in general and to start preparing the best way we know how.
In order to prepare for something you first need to know what it is in order to deal with it. Once you acknowledge that things are not right and are getting worse, some of your options are getting in a supply of food and water, buying survival gear, counseling family members, praying together, meeting with like minded people or seeking spiritual counsel.
Fire is Power. In Tarot it is represented by the suit of Wands and identified with three zodiac signs: Aries (the G-d of War) encompassing the fiery energy of the sun and the indomitable power of Mars; Leo (The Lion) is governed by the sun and represents an indomitable spirit, courage and determination; Sagittarius (The Archer) ruled by Jupiter (faith and optimism) and skilled in hunting is independent and fearless.
To see a raging inferno such as depicted in my dream means that people are trying to destroy you.
Fire also means trauma, transformation and great change.
10/23/2021 Note: When I receive or begin to understand more of this dream, (I will be talking to my Dad and I believe he already knows the part I'm having trouble with, not being able to read his handwriting) I will be posting additional information in order to fill in the blanks.

December 7, 1941 - Attack on American Naval Base, Pearl Harbor, Oahu, Hawaii by Japan
75
YEARS AGO
December
7, 1941, “a date which will live in infamy” was the date of the Japanese
surprise attack on the American Naval Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
Over 3,000 Americans died that day, most of them members of the military, and
many of our finest warships were destroyed, including the battleship USS
Arizona. The Japanese were initially elated over the damage caused to the
American navy, but they soon realized that their ultimate goal had not been
realized. They had not demoralized the American people and destroyed our will
to fight.
Instead, they had only succeeded in
uniting the American people who did not cower in fear, but prepared to go to
war on two fronts. Millions of American soldiers, sailors, and marines, went to
war in Europe and the Pacific not only to defend the freedom of the American people,
but to free the millions who were being oppressed by the Japanese, the German
Nazis, and the Italian Fascists.
American casualties during WW II
totaled over one million with over 405,000 deaths. The entire country mobilized
to support the war effort. There were no anti-war demonstrations, none of our
soldiers were spit on for wearing the uniform of their country, and anyone who
had burned an American flag would have suffered severe consequences at the
hands of their fellow Americans.
Can you imagine what the outcome of WW
II would have been if instead of young Americans going into the military in
mass, or working in defense industries, or otherwise supporting our troops by
consenting to rationing of gasoline, tires, food etc. they would have grabbed
their teddy bears and coloring books and gone to hide in their “safe spaces” so
they could be protected from reality.
Unfortunately, most of the millennials
in our country today don’t remember Pearl Harbor or even World War II. I
recently looked at a common core lesson plan for teaching our children about WW
II and it was unbelievable. The heroism of our military was not mentioned and
none of the military leaders such as Eisenhower, Patton, or Nimitz were named. None
of the major battles were discussed including the invasion of Normandy, the
Battle of the Bulge or Iwo Jima.
The discussions that students were to
engage in were about things like the detention of Japanese Americans, racism
within the military etc. all politically correct subjects for the left people
who are supposedly educating our children. However, this type of misinformation
is not something new. A few years ago I was doing some part time work scoring
essays on student SAT exams. Most of the topics were mundane, but when the
topic dealt with American history I saw some very disturbing things.
For example, some high school students
thought that in WW II we fought Mexico, Spain, or even England. Some also
stated the WW II was started by the United States dropping atomic bombs on
Japan and that led to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. These are just some examples of the fact that
our children are not learning anything about American history and certainly not
about our Constitutional form of government.
At a time when we should be
remembering and honoring the Americans who died 75 years ago at Pearl Harbor,
the concentration of the media and our education system is on excluding Christmas
from public schools, rewriting our history, eliminating patriotism, and
destroying our Constitutional rights. It is time we reverse this.

Attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, December 7, 1941
This attack on America by the Japanese on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, led to America finally becoming involved in the war (WWII).
After all these years the Japanese and Americans have put the past behind them and become friends.
It is tragic that so many lives were lost and countless years of soul searching along with a healthy dose of forgiveness was needed to make amends.
I am part of that generation, the WWII generation as both my parents were involved.
The legacy of those honorable men and women who went out and did what was needed to ensure that the entire world would live in peace are forever memorialized in mausoleums and monuments.
You would think that we would have learned our lesson from this horrific war--that all of humanity deserves to live their lives free from conflict and free from want.
Maybe one day, G-d willing, we'll finally get it right.
