Even last night I had the weirdest dream where a group of women looked in my mouth and told me i was jewish like them.

I do not have any jewish ancestry that i know of,I do look kind of jewish.


Do you think we get hints about our ancestry through dreams?

Answer 1

Hey Noyesno,

You are being called to do your Family Tree. Answer the call. It could just by your natural curiosity, all the interest lately generated about Genealogy, the fact that it is easier, or something more - ancestral. Answer the call, satisfy your dreams.

You do get hints, because you are a sum of all you have heard in your life. Your dreams are putting things together for you. In a Dream - Jewish might not be literal - it might mean something about a prejudice, or hatred in your ancestry, or something more obscure.

Answer 2

Dreams come from your subconscious. It's possible that you heard something about you're being Jewish a long time ago and it stuck in your mind for some reason; but your conscious mind isn't aware of it. It could have been somebody saying "she looks Jewish" whether it's true or not, or maybe you really do have Jewish ancestry, or maybe there's nothing to it at all--hard to tell with dreams. "Jewish" might even be a code word for something else that doesn't mean anything to anyone else except your unconscious mind.

I read a book called :"The Dream Game" that was really good; it says dreams speak to us in symbols but the symbols aren't the same for everyone, you have to find out what they mean to you. I think the author's name was Lappe.

Answer 3

Dreams are random images which the brain attempts to rearrange in an order that makes sense. Since the original sequence of images was totally random, they signify nothing at all.

Your mind resequenced the images and supplied a Jewish theme. Once you had done this the first time and remembered it, the theme was memorized and reused in subsequent dreams.

There is no magic or clairvoyance in dreams.

However, genealogy is fun. You might want to try a free service such as Rootsweb.com to do a quick search for your family's ancestry.

If you go back far enough, you may very well find a Jewish ancestor or two. Who knows? But if you do, it will be a coincidence.

Take care,
