The white dog

[Rsandee]

Haven't had one of these super vivid, almost prophetic dreams in a while. This morning I had another one and it's so symbolic, I have no idea how to interpret it.
Here it goes:

I dreamed that I went to India with my entire family, both from my father's and my mother's side. We were really just at my grandparents' place and yard but everyone said that we were in India and it felt like we were in India (my grandparents and both my families don't live or come from India, absolutely no connection with India whatsoever) There was however, also a third side. I asked them about who they were and they said they were the "main" line, their surname was Mumba Mumba or something else unintelligible. They then formed a circle and told me I could join them, it was the body of Christ they said. I then thought about how crazy itnwas that was in India, which made me realize it was a dream and I had a false awakening, which turned the dream into a super vivid one. I was walking in front of my grandparents' house now, in front of me was a small, fluffy, white dog. This dog meant something, it was something from my past I think. It ran up to me and when I looked to my right side I could see a huge portrait of this white dog on the wall. I kept thinking: "THE WHITE DOG, THE WHITE DOG", when I looked to the left I saw two men driving a big, four wheeled vehicle (either a quad or a snowmobile?). These men were driving on the road next to me and past us, stopping on a parking lot right in front of me next to a red car. The country number on their number plate was "SD". One of these men crawled underneath the red car to the left of them and stood up on the other side of the car. Somehow and suddenly there were some huge tigers on their vehicle, there was one Bengali tiger (I think because of the huge manes/fur on their cheeks) and I think also a white one.
The dream ended at this point, but during the dream I had the feeling like I was watching this is how I'm going to die or something. When I woke up the time was 10:42, scary coincidence because 142 is a nymber that is recurring in some way.

What could this dream have meant?

Hello, Rsandee. I have a question on this dream. What was the gender of the dog and the tigers, and do you know these two men in real life?
In my understanding your dream is about a karmic relationship, continuing in this current lifetime, but it is hard to define in which sphere of your life it is most likely to happen.

To be honest, I assumed it were two men but I don't know for sure. I have no idea what gender the dog was, but it looked cute and small.

The best way to interpret your dreams is to use your own inner guidance. Dreams contain symbolism. They're rarely to be taken at face value. Their symbols have different meaning from one dream to another.

These being said, I tried to get an interpretation of your dream using my inner guidance, which might be misleading for you. If my interpretation is close to your dream intended symbolism, it may point to an interesting piece of information, or just to something you wondered about.

It seems that the 3rd side is a reference to your inner-self, and its past incarnations, your inner ancestry if you want.

Mumba might be a name your inner-self wanted you to identify it by, or the name of the past incarnation this dream refers to, or a location (there is a Mumbai in India).

Your dream might make reference to the possibility that Jesus traveled to India, were he acquired spiritual training, that was influential in his spiritual development.

The white dog might symbolize a past-life you, at an older age, having an important standing among his contemporaries, probably for his wisdom, and spiritual prowess.

The first part of your dream set the stage for the second part. It told you were your symbolic message comes from, then what followed was meant to explain that 3rd line connection to you, and to the story it reveals.

Your past incarnation traveled a spiritual journey together with the other man, suggesting to be Jesus, and when that journey reached its intended destination, the other man left, crossing something "red" (maybe Red Sea) and popped up in a completely different place, somehow surprisingly, untraceably, where he faced both great opportunity and great danger.

This seems like an amazing message, but my interpretation could also be way off. My recommendation is to learn to do your own dream interpretation, avoiding dream dictionaries, as well as others' advice. That would tremendously help you on your spiritual quest.

Hi Rsandee,

That is an interesting dream. I think the dreams tells me that you are not convinced by much of what you see that passes for religion today. Perhaps there is a cynicism deeply rooted in your family that does not accept vain displays of ritual or religion for the sake of it. What you are seeking is something more meaningful, something more personal. The white dog may symbolise this, with the white meaning purity. You are seeking something purer than outward show. What matters to you is the inward reality of spiritual things. I just checked and the country code "SD" seems to relate to Sudan in Africa. I think that whereas you may feel called to do one thing, you will in time see that you are actually called to do something completely different. You realised that you were not in India as people said, but at a relative's house, which tells me you are not fooled easily. Expect to be drawn out of your comfort zone however by your journey in life, to go places and do things you never expected. You will die serving a cause greater than yourself, as you see that spirituality does not just impact us within, but has the potential to impact others around us.
