Seventh Sign

I had this dream the other morning about being on the seventh floor in this house that was my father's home, and what was weird about this house was that this particular level of the house was huge! It was like a warehouse and it had rows of shelves, all stocked with dry goods. I remember thinking to myself what were on the other levels, and did he have as much food stored? Then I wondered why he had so many supplies stored away and there were all of these people milling around who worked there. I distinctly recall the elevator that displayed a number seven on it. When I then recalled the dream and the oddness of it, I recalled that in dream symbology that the house represents the body and/or the spirit. The seventh floor corresponds to the seventh chakra, as I interpret what my dream was about. This chakra pertains to spiritual awareness, i.e. consciousness. It is apropos that I dreamt about this chakra as lately I've been thinking about what it means to go within to find the knowledge and wisdom we seek.

What is also interesting about this dream is that I feel that what was represented by my father isn't really my father, but my father in the sense of the masculine aspect of the Divine. When I was thinking about what this dream meant I thought of the Biblical passage: "In my Father's house are many rooms," This can mean many different things.

One meaning is that in the body there are the different chakras. It can also mean that in Reality there are many different planes of existance and dimensions.

This morning I had a dream about my previous significant other. In this dream he revealed to me that as a child his parents made him take on the identity/persona of a girl, not allowing him to be a boy, because it has something to do with his mother. His name was even changed, and the name was Tamarind with a surname that I can't remember. He said that he was a childhood actress and singer, and that if I doubted him I could look up the name on the Internet. I asked him why he didn't tell me this before, why did he keep this a secret from me, and he had no answer. It wasn't that he was ashamed of this previous identity, and that when his stardom waned his family allowed him to return to being a boy. A tamarind is a fruit that is eaten a lot in India and southern Asian countries. I have tried to find what it might mean as a dream symbol, but no such luck. I've never eaten a tamarind, but know of them.

What was also odd about this dream was why his family switched his identity to that of a girl. My previous significant other had mentioned that his mother wished him to be a girl, and perhaps this was just coming through in my dream. I think the whole thing about him being secretive reflects upon how he never really told me much of anything about his family. He never spoke of them, he never shared pictures of them, or told me anything about his life, other than a few basics. In my mind I think he had something to hide, otherwise he would have said more about them. I couldn't meet his family because they were all dead.

The my dream switched to having something to do with the astral plane being only one of many states of consciousness that we can go to, and I was trying to find out what the others were.
