Dream Interpretation: "Unprepared for Exam"

Another summary from Gillian Holloway, Ph.D.’s excellent The Complete Dream Book: Discover What Your dreams Reveal about You and Your Life, this one, another of the “Dreams You Can’t Forget” on the “Unprepared for the Exam” dream.

Holloway says that many people experience the dream scenario where the dreamer finds him or herself about to take an exam in high school or college, but that the dreamer suddenly realizes that he or she totally forgot they had registered for the class, did not attend a single class, and is absolutely unprepared for the exam.

Paradoxically, this type of dream usually comes to people who are great achievers in life, rarely proceed without being thoroughly prepared, and seldom experience failure. In fact, she calls it the “Over-achiever’s Nightmare.”

Therefore, this dream is not warning the dream about an impending failure. It usually comes at a time when the dream has taken on more than the dreamer can manage without putting him or herself under a lot of internal pressure.

The author suggests that since the dreamer is the type of person who has such high standards, it will likely not even be noticed if the dreamer reduces the self-imposed high standards of excellence. The dream often results during a temporary time of increased workload, heightened responsibilities, or imminent promotion.

December 21, 2012 or December 24, 2011?

In Mexico Mystique, author Frank Waters outlines the steps researchers took to correlate the fateful 13.0.0.0.0 4 Ahau 8 Cumku date in the Mayan Long Count Calendar with our Gregorian Calendar.

The Maya view of time is that of a recurring cycle. Therefore, the 13.0.0.0.0 4 Ahau 8 Cumku date has occurred in the past and will occur again in the future. Researchers first attempted to pinpoint the last occurrence of this date so they could know what date in the future it would fall on.

One researcher, Willson, dated the beginning of our present world as August 25, 3511 B.C. Spinden said it was October 14, 3373 B.C. Morley said the year should be 3340 B.C. Escalona-Ramos said 2853 B.C. On the other hand, G. Zimmer’s date was August 29, 3512 B.C. Then J.T. Goodman set the year as 3113 B.C. Juan Martinez Hernandez made a change of one day and J. Eric S. Thompson made a four-day correction so that the date was settled at August 12, 3113 B.C.

Based on this date, the next 13.0.0.0.0 4 Ahau 8 Cumku will occur on December 24, 2011. Mexico Mystique was published in 1975. I assume recent researchers have further modified the last date so that the the beginning of the next projected new world is now December 21, 2011.

All I can say is that this date keeps changing. Who knows what new understanding of the Mayan glyphs will reveal? The date may change again.

2012 End of the World (as we know it) Planner

 While surfing the net for info on the Discovery Channel’s 2012 Doomsday “documentary” – sounds rather like fiction if their blurb is to be believed – I came across this link to an End of the World (as we know it) Planner. Cute! The idea is that you’ve only got 4 years to live so stop procrastinating. And, if the world still is here after 12 21 12, so much the better—because of your anti-procrastination planner, you’re living the life you’ve always wanted to live.

2012 Doomsday Video on HistoryChannel.com

For your interest, here’s a link to a 3 minute video that says that the   I Ching and the Book of Revelation all agree with the Mayan December 21, 2012 doomsday prediction. They don’t.

2012 – History Channel, John Major Jenkins

John Major Jenkins is the author of Maya Cosmogenesis 2012 in which, among many other things, he describes Izapa, the Ceremonial City of the Ancient Skywatchers, an ancient Mayan ruin in the mountains of the Mexican state of Chiapas.  At this ruin, there is a stele with the Mayan glyph showing the December 21, 2012 date .

He was consulted and interviewed for the History Channel’s August 2006 documentary on 2012. However, he is unhappy with the way he was quoted out of context to support the program’s over-sensationalized doomsday treatment of that important date in the Maya Long Count Calendar.

He believes the documentary did not adequately portray the predictions that 2012 may not be a time of cataclysm but a time of rebirth and renewal.

Here’s the link to his condemnation of their unbiased reporting:

2012 – DNA Changes to More Crystalline

Is this real or just an “Urban Legend?” Are all DNA on earth really changing?

An urban legend is something a bunch of people believe but it isn’t grounded in fact. For example, a gardening urban legend: that putting Juicy Fruit gum sticks in vole holes will deter the root-destroying pests. It doesn’t.

2012 DNA 12-Strand Change

At lunch today, I was talking with friends about the 2012 phenomenon. One friend said that she has read that our bodies are undergoing evolutionary changes in which the DNA in our cells are going from two-strand to 12-strand.

Here’s a link to an interview Dr. Berrenda Fox on the evolution of the human body.

End of the World 2012

According to this Wikipedia listing on 2012, some Mayan researchers believe the beginning of the Maya Long Count calendar is December 23, 2012, not December 21, 2012.

The winter solstice will occur on December 21 of that year.

End of the World Dream Interpretation

End of World Dream Interpretation becomes vital during a time of great change. For example, with all the talk about 2012 and predictions of the end of the world  during the end of 2012, I was delighted to find The Complete Dream Book: Discover What Your Dreams Reveal About You and Your Life, which has a dream interpretation for “The End of the World” dreams.

Just in case you’ve recently had an end of the world dream and fear it may be a true prophecy, let me assure you that, according to author  Gillian Holloway, Ph. D., end of the world dreams are quite common.

Prediction 2012

I’m reading so many different predictions about 2012. Most of them sound pretty New Age soft and fuzzy. For example, what does it matter that supposedly the earth will line up with the Galactic Center on the Winter Solstice of 2012? Right now, the earth lines up with the center of the Milky Way three days before December 21. Do three days really matter that much?
