I was in the mountains ( it kinda of looked like a desert ) An old Indian chief appeared. He was wearing Indian clothing ( feathers , ete )The scene had no trees "or" houses. A paint board appeared. The colors were swirling in a circle. Some of the colors were red, yellow, white, and green.The swirling kept going faster and faster.

I remember him telling me "this is your gift". I kept repeating, " I cant do it". The chief would reply, "Yes, you can". I woke up, "I've always been curious about my dream. It just seemed so "vivid". Can anyone tell me what they "think" it means?

Hi Heyyou, welcome to Mystic Board  

Sounds to me like you have a very powerful and strong guide there that is telling you to explore the native american path more? The paint board could indicate a medicine wheel or medicine shield they were often set spinning to ward off evil spirits and to attract attention from far away. The colours are symbolic of the four winds and the four directions.  Dig deep inside, I bet you have an inkling to their meaning already?

I have done some research on native americans Indians. I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw the "medicine shield". It looked just like what was spinning on my paint board in my dream. I also , dreamed of a buffalo. I think , I understand what this dream means. The colors on the wheel represent the four elements of the earth, The wheel represents lifes journey, The buffalo protects you on your journey, and the mountains are obstacles we all have to climb to reach our destiny.  Everytime someone reads my tarot cards, I always get the "empress. ( mother of all things earthy )

I no longer think I have "gone crazy". lol . If you havent have pointed me in the right directed, " I would have never understood what this dream means. Once again , "thank you"
