Hi Deb,
I will try to help you interpret this dream if I can, you let me know what you think, ok?
First, of all, i agree, it is a past life. That is why you feel so at home here. Remember, you are searching for answers now, here they come!
The airplane ride in your dream is your travel into your past lives, it is stormy because maybe your a little afraid of what you may find out. Aren't we all! lol The act of walking down the stairs is you going deeper into the past. The brown man you constantly see is your spirit guide, his name is Abdul. He is your guide into this new realm of discovery, hence the hand on your back guiding you in the right direction.He makes you feel safe and protected, does he not? The castle in your dream that is abandoned is where your adventure begins. The men will not approach, they are not a part of the scenario in that lifetime, only a means of transport. I keep picking up that Abdul was your husband in that lifetime, and has vowed to watch over you in this one. I mention this because the thought keeps tunning through my mind, so he must be telling me that and it is important.
The person you feel watching you is your conscious mind, your fear of the unknown. Knocking on the door is the seeking of answers,ie knock and the door shall be opened, seek and ye shall find!
the man inside that welcomed you and Abdul was a spirit from the other side, he is very happy that you are there, it is time for you to know! the dried rose is a symbol of the past, long ago forgotten. I cannot pick up what the gap is, i'm sorry, maybe later on? The clothes and freesh food were a sign of plenty, in that lifetime you wanted for nothing. The act of planting is the planting of seeds for spiritual growth, the red is passion, and the white symbolizes purity and all things good. This is like the life you spent with Abdul. There was alot of passion betwen you both, and you helped others with your kind hearts and wisdom. You served a noble purpose, together, just as you do now.
the plants blooming in front of you shows you that you are growing spiritually and becoming the beautiful and wise person you werte meant to be. You are on the right path! You and Abdul walking back to back just shows that he is from your past and with him trying to kiss you, it means you will meet again in another life., either in the spiritual world or physical, I am not sure. The man and his wife were either friends or relatives in that lifetime.
I hope this has helped, Deb, and I think you have just gotten the details of a past life!! I'm not sure exactly what I wrote, until I read it over, because i get kinda in a trance when I do these things, but let me know what you think, ok?
And I hope this has answered alot of questions for you. Feel free to tell me your dreams and I will do my best to translate them, with a little help from my spirit guides! lol The answers you seek lie in your dreams, watch them carefully.
Love and Light,
Samantha
