With dreams being really one's subconcious processing, is it possible that your reoccuring dream is really a calling?

Lately, I have had reoccuring dreams of a particular city. I have never visited this city nor do I have the intention of moving there. There are career possbilites for me but I just do not see my self there on a regular basis.

Thanks,

Not all dreams are only the result of one's subconscious processing, although some obviously are.

I am not quite clear as to the meaning you intended by the use of the word "calling". Did you mean to ask whether these types of dreams can be a way of calling you to go to a city you have never visited in the past, or that by going to such a place you might discover your true calling or purpose in life with special reference to choosing a career which is right for you?

Or did you actually mean a bit of both?

Whichever of the two possibilities is true, dreams contain messages from our unconscious minds (of which our subconscious is only a small part) in order to provide us with both guidance and comfort. Recurring dreams suggest that you are either not yet understanding the important messages contained within these dreams, and/or you are not applying those which you have already learned in your daily waking life.

I consequently feel that at least these particular recurring dreams have a special meaning to you that goes well beyond random subconscious processing.

Do you not see yourself in such a city and/or career, because you do not feel that you deserve the valuable opportunities for growth it would offer you, or are you allowing your fears of taking the risks involved in moving there to get this job get the better of you? The answers to these questions and many more I can think of are entirely your business. I am only mentioning them here in order to make you think more deeply as to the most likely meanings hidden within your recurring dreams.

Thanks eye.

"Did you mean to ask whether these types of dreams can be a way of calling you to go to a city you have never visited in the past, or that by going to such a place you might discover your true calling or purpose in life with special reference to choosing a career which is right for you? "

What I mean by calling is that by going to the city it could open a door of possiblites for me but I would need to be asked to be there for there is no other reason(unless for vacation but there other cities I would go to first).

"Do you not see yourself in such a city and/or career, because you do not feel that you deserve the valuable opportunities for growth it would offer you, or are you allowing your fears of taking the risks involved in moving there to get this job get the better of you? "

There is no fear that is why I am asking. Again, I just don't feel the need to be there any time soon for the vaulable opportunities that are avilable to me can be had from any other city.

Of course the question still arises as to just why your dreaming mind chose this particular city out of all the other possible ones which would have also provided you with similar opportunities.

I would need to be asked to be there

You could potentially be waiting for the rest of your life for someone to ask you to move there to work for them. What MIGHT be holding you back from applying for a position there is that if you continue to largely take a wait and see attitude and expect an employer to first seek you out, then you may not need to look outside of your local area and support network in pursuing your career ambitions.

There are many types of fears (many of them currently hidden from our conscious minds), both including a fear of failure as well as surprisingly a fear of success. When we are unusually successful at anything, people continue to expect us to achieve more and more, and having more expected from us than we can ever hope to deliver frankly terrifies most of us.

Please do not take the above as a criticism of yourself, as I am merely attempting to uncover hidden messages contained within your dream, based on what you have told me. Our dreaming mind often presents us with uncomfortable truths in a way which we will find more acceptable, and therefore be more willing to take notice of.

Our nightly adventures are consequently often referred to as the royal road to our unconscious minds, giving us privileged access to information which cannot be easily obtained by any other means.

Your's sincerely,

No offense taken eye. I appreciate your insights as well as your honesty.

To be honest with you, this dream is just one of many pieces in a puzzle that are vivid and intense such as this one, that essentially deal with the same issue. Your explanation has now made me wonder if it is a fear I am trying to deal with instead of a calling.

Thanks,
