Thanks for your eye site on this subject
Some of the things I mentioned were just a brief explanation...when i refered to the reading a book one chapter to the next I mean that the dreams seem to reaccur and then go to the next chapter ...so to say the story contioues on .not from night to night but I may have same dream say 7 -8 times over a 3 month period then to say a month of brief dreams of things that dont seem to matter..or about silly things like me doing chores or such ..then will start a new dream and repeat the above but always around same types of places.
I mentioned I am American and not ever being out of the states because the dreams take me to places I have never seen or been to ...not because I am racist or anything such as this ... ( I personally have grown to Love India)
I am happy that a Indian person answered ... maybe I am wrong for saying this but I feel that the knowledge from a Indian person is different than a Western.....Westerners seem to seek and Indian seem to have been brought up around this type of information so therefor i think it comes naturally.
I would be happy to go into great details of my dream if nobody objects. ???
How long have these dreams been coming to me...???
As Long as I can remember...When I was little I would act them out and pretend to fly to these destinations and I would land in the desert seeking the green side and would end up either at a mud house (which i tried to build one when i was around 4 or 5..and yea my mom made me clean up my mess ..something about not using her kitchen bread pans to make bricks

) I even asked for the painted elephant for my birthday that i seen that i received in a dream.
Thanks for the help and info...
Oh yea the gate was open and greenerty was growing up around it ...was like a gate entrance to a lovely home ..the bird look similar to a peacock but not sure that it was ..was a golden color ...
I drew the tapestry out once ..will see if i have it and will scan and post...
I am really excited that someone answered this post ...wow thanks soo much ...
