I buy myself crystals all the time. and then I give them away, to others, or to a charity.I'd have had some collection by now, but I seem to have only a handful. Also I feel the need to give these to others, and just keep one or two for myself.
Recently though, I got myself this cute little red dragon, Half an inch made of red jasper. That night I had a dream that I gave it to a little boy, who was I told him was 3 times younger at his age than I am of mine at exept for 1 year. I gave his older brother another just so he wouldn't be left out. It was the youngers' birthday all in all.
His mother cried in thanks, due to that she had nothing to give them-and I made up for the dissapointment I think by making that little boy happy.
Any views?

- keep in mind that one usually cannot make too much of a single dream

- having said that, what are your feelings in the dream (apart from the mother figure who weeps)??

- one view of the process in the dream where you acquire crystals (which might symbolize treasures such as kernels of knowledge or truth) then give them away except for a very few is that you are possibly 'rejecting' the treasures as not meant for you though perhaps retaining some of them might be important

- you do not seem to make much of the ones you do keep which might be an important clue as well

- dragon symbolism is somewhat complex but dragon's often representing something to be over-come

- dragons are also said to guard treasures

-hope this helps

Complex. I think what I felt was compassion, mixed with a dose of empathy. Empathy with the mother who wept because she couldn't give her child something to make him happy. compassion to same and wanting to take away the grief that she felt that I empathised with. Satisfaction and a feeling of well being for doing something selfless but selfish at the same time for the general feeling of wellbeing established-I did it just to make me feel good about myself. It seemed a positive action to a negative situation, they both cancelled each other out and there was a balance of sorts.
Good point on the dragon, I've dreamt of them before, but can't remember in which context.
Do I value crystals? Good point, something I need to ponder. I admire and need beauty in my life, by buying crystals I attain that, but then the reason or need changes and I can't hold onto them anymore. Maybe I feel or felt I didn't deserve beauty in my life. I may feel guilty for holding onto this thing that represents beauty and so I give away the crystals to others I feel would appreciate it more. Sometimes I buy a crystal or such as an obscure need to fulfill myself in their eyes or in mine, I feel a duty done; especially if I go into their store, by buying it, it serves as a continuity of their prosperity, also fulfilling or negating feelings of guilt if I don't. The giving also gives me a feeling of relief and good, though I feeel guilty for doing this stuff. This may be true of other aspects of my life. for example, I frequent a bookstore on a regular basis so not to appear stingy I buy something, or it might be another place. Thats the best I can do at the moment.

- the woman and child in the dream are aspects of you

- the crystals in the dream are only symbolic and likely not of the crystals in your waking life.

- a dream diary is an exellent way to keep a record so that threads in dreams might be established (a record of a series of dreams with dragons might be enlightening)

noted. Maybe crystal sharing in my waking thoughts spilled over onto my dream world. Thanks.

- one view would be that the process is working in both directions

- waking life and dream life are symbiotic, afterall

The dream came true.

- one view is that dreams are always 'true'

- it is just that they do not always manifest from what we do in waking life

- as I always say, sometimes, "the dreams things are made of........"

As you said. (fk)
In waking life, the mother of the two boys was pleased in a geniune way when i gave the two lads small gifts. My sisters friend doesn't have an awful lot in the way of funds, so It kind of came true in a roundabout way.
Also I was looking for a thank you gift and came across a small crystal like in the shape of her favourite animal, which I gave her.
It's funny how things turn out.
These two dreams that I've said have come true didn't manifest exactly as in the dream, but these events happened weeks after the dreams.
Concidence or not, interisting to say the least.
