Decoding My Dreams from 13 Holy Nights

I don’t typically have political dreams but last year’s 13 Holy Nights had a few major themes around political unrest, community hardship/troubleshooting, etc. Basically events that affected the collective and my role as participant or observer.

I dreamt that I was in LA during the race riots but it was current day. I was some folks that felt like Black Panthers and we were heading to a hideout. It felt like an action movie where the characters could sense that a conflict was going to occur soon and so we were in preparation. There are many details I have omitted for the sake of efficiency, but the feeling of the dream, the location and the conflict felt a lot like the ICE raids earlier this year in SoCal. Some could say this dream was like a premonition, and if I chose to meditate on it further, I could have potentially tapped into what was actually going to occur in the near future.

I also dreamt that a colleague of mine who has a prominent position in the local spiritual community confided in me that she was done running her business and that she would rather go back to a “normal” job. I was confused because things seemed to be going well for her in her business. But in May, some very controversial events occurred and her business played a key part in said controversy. The events that transpired were enough to make anyone rethink what they are doing and how they are doing it.

I dreamt of a pop up marketplace or event full of people experiencing unexpected weather. Some folks lost their tents to an unexpected flooded canal/river and there was so much activity, detail and decoration, it felt a lot like Burning Man. We were collectively putting in the effort to help each other salvage our belongings. I didn’t attend the burn this year but I do know they had some crazy weather that wreaked havoc on so many camps, vehicles, structures and sculptures that some chose not to rebuild.

A theme I noticed so far is that each of these dreams occurred about 1-2 months prior to the actual event. For example, the last dream came to me when I my intention was to channel through my dreams what is to come in June 2025 but Burning Man is in August. The dream before it about my colleague was for the month of April but the actual events occurred in May.

I could go on deconstructing the 1-5 dreams I had per night during 13 Holy Nights, but you get the idea. Now, how does this help me manifest you ask?

Because we also engage in a nightly meditation during this dreamwork container! My intention last year was simply to be a receiver of information, to strengthen my connection to the dream world and to decode my dreams the next day in meditation. You can use your access to the dream world to assist you in achieving whatever it is that you desire.

But dreamers beware: Spirit gives you what you need, not always what you want! We will explore that in depth during our time together starting 12/21 to 1/6. If you are curious about dream decoding, developing good sleep hygiene to remember your dreams better, and exploring a sacred and personal practice via your subconscious or the collective unconscious, sign up for 13 Holy Nights or email me with your questions. I’d love to hear from you!
