Amaphupho/ Dreams and their meanings
How does one explain or give meaning to a dream outside of a proper reading and consultation?
I am often amazed at how people are so quick to offer meanings to dreams. The chances of one dream meaning the same thing for two different people are very slim if any at all. We are all different and unique, with different amaDlozi hence the secrets of each household's umsamo will differ from one person to the other.
Amathongo and amaDlozi from each household have different ways of communicating with their subjects and how they communicate is very important to note. This is more important for those who are gifted or have the calling as the dreams carry important messages which should not be misread.There are however, those dreams that generally point at an ancestral calling as well as state in which the ancestors are in.
These dreams include but are not limited to:
- Dreams about the sea/ocean.
- Dreams about Rivers or waterfalls.
- Dreams about snakes or lions
- Dreams about umgidi, chanting, or sangoma attire
The truth of the matter is, dreams can be very confusing. Especially so when one tries to analyse the dreams for themselves without any basic knowledge as to how their ancestors communicate with them. Our ancestors use dreams to warn us of hardships that lie ahead before us and sometimes how those hardships can be avoided. They also use them to make us feel what they feel, or to give us a glimpse of what we could have and what our lives could be like if we listen and set them them free.
This is not to say that now people should become obsessed with dreams and their meaning..... Nooooooo!
Such an obsession is really disturbing because some dreams are just that.... Dreams ! It takes self awareness and time to be able to really understand what your dreams may mean furthermore I always advise my clients to keep dream journals. This way you are able to pick up the pattern in your dreams. eg. how far off off they are from reality, How many times they reoccur before what you dreamed about actually happens. etc.
I could go on and on.....
Ideally we need to approach analysing dreams with an open mind and most importantly learn to listen to your heart. Having a bad dream or nightmare puts anyone in a bad mood, however if one wakes up from the bad dream and prays, it's amazing how the spirit can be lifted and the mood somehow shifts.
Hi.this is not really a comment but more like a question I'd like to ask you about the dream I keep having.I've been having a dream where I'm by a river that is divided in to 3,1st level is like sea water because of the waves both the other levels are huge rivers with dirty green water that's not moving.thinking about this dream makes me scared & feel like someone is about to kidnap me & throw me in one of the rivers,I felt the same way when I was in a dream too.please try & explain if you know what's happening with me.Lunga Mkhize
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I do not interpret/decipher dreams outside of a consultation. If I did, It really would just be my personal views and not the actual meaning of the dream per se.
ReplyDeletei dream of a guy giving me coin brown nd silver money, he den prepered me 2grand with papers.......
ReplyDeleteThokoza Oscar, I do not and cannot interpret dreams outside of a consultation.
DeleteGood day, I understand u don't explain dream without proper consultation, but I just wanna wen someone dreaming about fire, u don't have an idea wat it might mean?
DeleteBe carefully kuyoba khona inkulumo engalungile
Deletei usualy hear inkwele in my earz,and was told abalozi.manje want to know how to treat them without going to a healer.is mpangele,ingungumbane represents i dlozi?
ReplyDeleteI don't think it is wise nor advisable to want to do things yourself when have not been instructed by idlozi to do so. You might just end up messing up izinto zakho. But that's just my opinion.
ReplyDeletePlease help me with an interpretation of a vision. I saw stars falling from the sky. when they fell on the floor, they formed a gold carpet, but I could still see the stars individually. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHey people dont wanna listen and want quick fixes, get off the net nihambe niyohlola amaphupho enu. Its so annoying when people want online explanations of dreams. The next thing bazothwasa online. Excuse me for being harsh
ReplyDeleteBayede Ndlondlo! Ayi mina angisanaki nje. I just ignore qha. People really don't want to listen.

ReplyDeleteok good
ReplyDeleteBefore you can make your dreams come true, first you have to know what exactly you dream about. Dream interpretation will give you a handbook to solve your dream and what does it mean. To find your dream meaning is very important in your life, believe or not.

THE WHOLE WEEK I HAVE DREAMING ABOUT MY DEAD FATHER IN MY DREAM HE WAS GOING TO DIE OR WE WERE GOING TO BURY HIM WHAT DOES IT MEANS AND I HAVE DREAMING ABOUT CEMETERY
ReplyDeleteThokozani kakhulu kakhulu! I know interpreting dreams online is a big no no. But some people need some kind of guidance as they either can't afford a consultation. Some have been duped by so many fake sangomas they are really weary to go for consultations. Surely there is a way you could meet people halfway.

That's an easy one. Someone does not want you to progress. They are making sure you don't make it in life. Do something about this urgently

ReplyDeleteI dream of not getting interviews.my phone is far away from me at these intense.
ReplyDeletebefore I learned that I have a calling , I used to dream a lot about water and sometimes I would feel my feet really cold and wet. now it has come to a point where I would feel the water when I'm awake and end up falling into a trance. now the problem is my family feels that I should not go thwasa ,what should I do?
ReplyDeleteThis is your life, you decide but ignoring a calling can be bad or it will be passed in to your kids. You can't ignore it forever. Even at 50 it might still be there

ReplyDeleteHello there. How do I get in touch for a consultation?
ReplyDeleteHey ther! Ndiphuphe umzala katata endithengele imoto icorola emyama ndabe ndiyivuyela ndidendiyiqhube
ReplyDeleteI dreamt of feces, (amakaka) what does that mean? I was holding a bucket full of them and m hands were covered with feces.This means someone is pregnant in your faimly and person is hiding it.
ReplyDeleteThokoza gogo, I dream of being killed by strange men, but I am not scared even though I hide I still feel its comming. Then thaeen the man shots me in the head I fall face down but dont die the sayi im persistant and then fires 5 more in the head but still I dont die.... should I be worried?
ReplyDeleteGood day, I had a dream about a black pregnant snake about to give birth but it's baby gets snatched and eaten by a much bigger dark green snake like creature immediately at birth
ReplyDeleteThis all happened in a tropical area (beach like forest)... 2 strangers were with me when all this occurred. I saw trails of the bigger snake before the other one gave birth. My 2 strangers made me aware of a creature that eats baby snakes just before the incident happened. I found the dream disturbing and woke up immediately. It was 4am.
Also I dreamt of a sangoma granny the day before. She just looked at me and said nothing which I also found strange.
This definitely has something to do with a calling. Green snakes are your ancestors. Black snakes can be enemies but there's so much going on in your dream. You need to consult
DeleteSawubona. I'd like to know where you're based so I may come for a consultation.
ReplyDeleteSawubona, I had a dream where I went to consult at healer and she told me that I know why I'm here. She said that I sometimes feel like im sick, flueish is because I'm pregnant, but I asked how could I be pregnant because I was on my periods and she said I will see ka the beginning of November and she mentioned that the father is short in height and that my grandmother's want me to give this child 3names. She also said that my grandmother's visted me in my dreams telling me that but I said to her I don't know how to interpert my dreams. So I just want to find out what does this dream mean.

ReplyDeleteHi, I had a dream where I was in our home grave yards where there was a grave next to the one for my brother who had recently passed on and there was another grave next to it of my brother who is still alive, and at that moment I was with my mother and my sister and had felt very weak as if I was also going follow and die because in the dream Iwas very sick.
ReplyDeleteThokoza gogo, I had drreamnt of someone who was passed on and who died in tragedy and that person was in the same place where he was killed and this person was talking to his friend as if he is still alive, but Iwas passing there with a strange men and I asked this on what it means when you see your relative that has passed on and this man responded by saying that there are certain things that the family has not done for that person,then I woke up...

ReplyDeleteThokoza Gogo. I trust you can help me. Last night i dreamt about 2 black bulls/cows (Mother and cub) and the mother started chasing me. i ran but it continued to look for me and i was found by the cub. and the cub said i should be glad i'm found by him not the big one. but then the big one looked for me and all of a sudden my mom (late came through where i was hiding and she kneeled down) and then there was a purple njeti material and behind it was a little brown snake, but the eyes were white beads going down to the tail. please help interprete the dream for me.
ReplyDeleteYoooh, all I know is a cow chasing you indicated someone that wants to kill you or angry ancestors. The brown snakes with beads could be ancestors plus your mom was there so you are protected
