Who among you can interpret this dream?

Question

I need to find peace of mind. I have had a dream that may be classified as a revelation. My whole life may be symbolized by this revelation, which I had seen in a vision of the night. The dream is in my mind ever since and always occupies my thoughts.

"I saw myself walking into a huge desert, which was completely uninhabited. The color of the sand was very yellowish and I was all alone with no single creature thereabout. In the dream, I found myself walking through the desert while the sun brilliantly shone over my face. I felt extremely happy & joyful, and I was in a splendid mood never felt before; adjoined with real glory and a very high esteem and self-confidence. Inside my soul, I was filled with indescribable peace of mind. My feelings were as if I was exulted in the spirit and raised to be in the realm of the gods. My face shone with splendor and briliance opposite to the son. There was absolutely nothing desired or needed as I walked through the desert. I was totally contended and supremely satisfied.

As I walked, I said to my self: " If seclusion like this can bring me this magnificent state of mind and feeling of extreme well being, I certainly need no one to be with." I truly felt that God was living in me as I walked through the desert; God's Majestic being was sensed inside my spirit and my thoughts were uncomparable to any thing I have ever experienced in the past. Suddenly, I began to see thorns and thistles growing ahead and around me covering all the area that surrounding me as I proceeded in my walk. I then looked for a piece of wood or a wand (Rod) to use as I walked through the thorns which I found. As the way became more difficult due to the appearance of these thick thorns, I used my wand to safely go through. After a while, I crossed my way through the thorns, and then I stopped and looked ahead of me, and behold, I saw a very black goat that was standing above a rocky area and lifting one of its legs (Hoof) above the ground. I immediately said to my self: " This goat may have walked through the thorns which I had just crossed through and that it is lifting one of its hoof above the ground as it may have been hurt, and most likely it is bleeding." I said to my self, as I was thinking how to help this goat, " If it is bleeding, I thought, I would take a piece of my shirt and rap it around his leg to stop the blood and to comfort him". When I approached the goat wanting to check his leg, the goat screamed in my face with a scream that cannot possibly be described. His voice was absolutely odd and unknown to human being. It was louder than any thing I ever heard coming out of an animal or man. The goat kept on screaming and screaming and screaming continuously without stopping while I was standing contemplating and wondering if I had done something wrong. After a while, I began to suspect my self as the cause of this goat's strange behavior which had not stopped screaming yet. At this moment I began to doubt myself. I said to my self: "If this goat is so scared of me to that extent, then what is in me cannot possibly be God." Immediately when that thought crossed my mind, I felt as if something in my body had raptured out and left me in full despair and agony. Instantaneously, the goat stopped screaming, and immediately thereafter I felt so sad, so scared, terrified and lacking joy and confidence, and then darkness began to creep around me. The goat then carried me through the air and brought me to the very place I lived when I was very young; the place was a ranch that my grandfather owned and I often used to spend joyful time in that place. I looked around and saw friends and relatives celebrating and drinking and having great joy. I then said to my self, as I looked at them 200 feet afar: "What could they be so happy about?” "There is nothing worthy in this world to making somebody happy anymore." Then I again looked around me and saw the goat standing next to me. I felt as I stood with him so depressed, so scared and in indescribable despair and extremely in melancholy with no confidence in my self, or self-esteem.
I cannot forget this dream while I live or even after I die. It has brought to me so much tears and sorrows.

Cpould you possibly make a vivid and clear interpretation of this dream? I had the dream sometime ago, but it still lives in me as part of me until this very moment.
Your effort to interpret this dream would be much more than thankful or grateful!

Answer 1

All you can say is that you are feeling empty in your heart and you need someone or something to fill it up.

The emptiness in your subconscious mind is beyond anyone can comprehend. So, in some sense, God is the one you are seeking for support and that is why you have dream like that.

Answer 2

Sir, this is what your dream means: The desert place you saw represents walking through the wilderness and the trials, tribulations, and testings of life. The sun shining above you represents God's favor being upon your life or being in the Presence of God. That's why you had such joy in you, being you were walking in the Presence of God. The thorns you saw represent the sinful things of the world which come to inflict you and hurt you. The rod or wand you saw represents the authority God has given you to overcome the trials and wickness that is in the world. The black goat you saw represents the devil. By lifting his foot he was signifying that he was going to attack you, but you were not able to discern his attack. When goats lift there foot like that it is usually in response to a competitor or opposition. The loud scream you heard from the goat represents the voice of the enemy which has come discourage you through waves of negative influences. What happened was you stopped to listen to the voice of the devil and he cast doubt into you. That's why you were asking all of these questions about yourself. When you began to doubt yourself, you lost faith in God, and now were walking in the presence of wickedness and of the devil and his demons. The goat taking you into the air represents you moving in the spiritual realm and now you were carrying the influence of what the devil did to you. The reason the devil took you back to the place of your youth was because it represented that he had been watching you since you were young and he was taking you back to the old sinful influences of your youth and of the world. The last part about you standing by the goat simply represents the devil imparting sorrow, despair, and doubt into your life.

Answer 3

1. The desert may not be isolation, but how you see peace.
2. Happiness/ Spiritual connection is your feeling concerning God.
3.The injured goat is evil luring you to give up the peace and sanctity of your life.
4. Your grandfather's place and your family is within reach, but you are kept back by the goat.

Essentially you are trying hard to be a good person, but feel like you are losing peace in your life. You miss the old times and family.

Answer 4

It sounds to me like you find your life fullfilment in being alone. My advice would be that you not get married and have a family. Maybe look into becoming a monk. That may be where your true calling is.
