Ylang Ylang: Oil of the Heart

Two nights ago I had a dream that I forgot about until last night. In the dream I was frantically dabbing essential oils of all kinds all over myself. I was handed an essential oil by someone to use. I was encouraged to use it generously. I read the name of the oil several times, repeating it to myself with the intention of remembering it.

The oil I was given was Ylang Ylang. I do not own this essential oil and am not very familiar with it, but my research indicates it is the best essential oil for healing the heart and getting back in touch with one’s inner child. It helps to release bottled up and buried emotions smoothly while nurturing the heart. It also reminds one that joy can be recovered by allowing the heart to feel all emotion fully.

Talk about the perfect message and oil for me right now!

Since I do not own this oil, I searched my oil blends to see if any contained this oil. I found that my most favorite oil blend – Serenity – contains Ylang Ylang. It is said that we are drawn to oils that we most need. This is definitely true for me as I have used more Serenity oil than any other oil I own. lol

Here is the DoTERRA information page for Ylang Ylang for those of you who are interested.

 

Dream: On Restriction

I traveled with a group of people to a large warehouse. The understanding here was that this was a place to stop and rest and was located on the way to my final destination. It felt as if I had been to this place many times on my way to “work”.

A man met me at the door and asked me for my car keys. I handed them to him and he let me inside. I understood that my car would be taken and parked somewhere. I was to stay the night in this place.

I was shown my cot and I laid down for the night. Unfortunately, I could not sleep. There were tons of people around me and most of them were awake and socializing. Their energy was high compared to mine and it make it impossible for me to sleep. I remember noticing that many of the people were in pairs or small groups yet I was all alone.

At one point, as it was approaching 10pm, I got restless because I could not sleep and people were still awake and socializing. I also got a little paranoid, feeling like this place was not where I was suppose to be. I got up and began to look for an exit but a woman saw me and questioned me. I told her, “I can’t sleep. I want to go back to my house and sleep there”. She said, “Okay. Let me get your keys”.

It took a while for her to return so I went to seek her out. I saw her standing at a back door and at her feet were two piles of dog crap. I warned her not to step in them and she turned and said, “You can’t come out here”. I withdrew.

The woman then brought me my keys but they were disconnected from the remote that unlocked and locked the car. She said she could not reconnect them – they were broken. I accepted this and left on foot.

Interpretation

When I awoke from this dream I was met by my Companion and three other guides. I was told that I was on restriction for an indeterminable amount of time. I am to rest and recuperate. I asked why and sensed a high amount of concern from my Team. I accepted this and understood.

I was told, “You are hurting. You are very, very sad.” I was then shown there has been a significant decrease in my Light. I was told they had not anticipated this intense of a reaction from me and were giving me time to heal before moving forward. I tried to make light of it but this time my Companion was the somber one. Not encouraging.

Apparently, I have not been allowing love into my heart. Recent events have further inhibited the flow. Like the keys in my dream, I am detached from entry into my heart. I am broken.

I asked, “What I am suppose to do now?” and was instructed to focus on my life. Immediately my thoughts turned to plans on how to resolve certain issues in my life.

Although I may be “broken” and disconnected from my heart, my heart is still pulling with an intense energy. It is interesting because the feeling from it is almost like someone swabbed the inside of my heart with menthol. There is a cold fire there. Other times it just hurts. I am getting use to it, though, as nothing I do seems to resolve it.

I could not return to sleep and tried to meditate. Not long after I saw and heard the number 1456. I assumed it was a year but got no more information. So I looked it up and found that it could indicate a change of residence or travel. Coincidentally (or not) my husband called me this morning on his way to work telling me he had an urge to take a trip east. I said I had also thought of doing this. He wants us to go on a road trip together. I am hoping he will agree to go to Florida.

 

Dream: Piranha Pond

A man took me and a group of people to a remote pond location. I could see the pond in front of us. It looked like a normal pond, like something you would see in a national park or some country area here in Texas. The water was dark and a bit murky making me wonder what was underneath.

Our guide stopped us just short of the pond and pointed to an animal standing on the far bank of the pond. It was a black lamb and we were told it was there as a sacrifice to offer to the piranhas that lived in the pond. Because the lamb would die soon he asked us if we wanted to bury it and put a cross on it’s grave. I saw the cross vividly in my mind and thought about whether we should bury the lamb. I said, “No. It’s just an animal. I don’t care what you do with it’s body”.

He then explained that after letting the piranhas eat the lamb they would be alerted to us being there so we needed to be careful. He then asked for volunteers and I understood that we were each to go into the water and then come back out. I raised my hand thinking I should just get it over with.

At this time I saw my sister was there and she had wandered off with a friend of mine. They were far away laughing and playing around and I remember being concerned at first and then not caring. It was her loss. There was a conscious recognition that in the past had this happened I would have been distraught over my sister taking my friend and not participating in what I was doing. It was nice to know I no longer carried that burden.

I walked into the murky water with the guide. Standing there, I saw a black cow in the water and noticed the piranhas were ignoring it. This made me feel better plus they were not bothering me, either. I then exited the water with my guide.

Interpretation

This dream if full of symbolism and insight. The piranha is representative of something eating away at my subconscious that needs to be addressed. The murky water represents the emotions surrounding this issue. The lamb represents something innocent and pure but since it is black it could indicate there is mourning or intense hurt related to this issue. It could also indicate a need to delve deeper into the subconscious. The sacrifice and acceptance of it indicates that I am willing to give up something for spiritual advancement. The black cow represents maternal instincts and in this case they are being protected.
