Thank you for your replies.
Hi Crowan - Can you please tell me a little more about Soul Loss. I've never heard of it before.
Thanks.

When something goes wrong – physically, mentally, emotionally – there is always a spiritual aspect to the condition. So the shamanic practitioner consults his/her spirit helpers as to what can be done to mend the situation.
Often the illness turns out to be caused by one of two things. Either something is missing that should be part of us or something is in us that should not be there. Of course, these two often go together.
The person may have part missing. This could be either a part of his/her soul or the energy that is needed to be healthy. Maybe what is missing is power – your own primal energy, lost over months or maybe years of being ground down by work, family or neighbours. A common symptom of this ‘power loss’ is when nothing goes right. You know the type of situation – the main wage earner in the household is made redundant, the dog dies, you lose your purse with this week’s housekeeping in it ... or worse. This run of bad luck continues and eventually you become ill. You have lost your energy, literally. The shaman can find your power for you and return it, often in the form of an animal.
Or, often, what is missing is soul. In our culture we tend to say a ‘soul-part’ is missing. More shamanic cultures tend to say that ‘one of the person’s souls’ is missing. Often the soul part has been lost due to some trauma - indeed you sometimes hear someone say "I have never felt complete since...". The shaman will seek out and return the soul part, restoring the loss.
And if our power or a part of our soul has got lost, this leaves a space. Other things can find their way in and get stuck - like a spider in the bath, or a stone in your shoe. Not evil, or even bad, but not in the right place. In shamanic terms this is called an intrusion. The shaman's job is to remove the intrusion (a process known as 'extraction') and return it to where it should be. Both retrievals and extractions are ways of re-balancing you.
Hi Curity,
I'm responding because the same thing has been happening to me for three months now. For me the dreams are culminating into something, but I don't know exactly what that something is yet.
For me, I suspect it's the residuals over an entire lifetime that are coming to the surface to be purged. Because the dreams are so ominous and so intense, my worst fears about what may happen in life definitely come to the forefront - it's kind of hard to relax and have faith in the process, but that's what I'm resolved to do.
A couple of questions I have with respect to your husband are, first are there any changes in his health? Co-inciding with my sudden dream activity, I suddenly, out of nowhere it seems, developed a sensitivy to chemicals and electromagnetic radiation. I'm still making adustments in my lifestyle and environment as a result of this.
My second question is, is there some kind of decision he's struggling with, that for some reason, he hasn't told you about?
Anything else you can think of that's different day to day with him?
Maybe some more insights will pop up if the story has a chance to unfold a bit in a post.
Also, I'm posting late. I'd be interested in knowing if the dreams have cleared up or if anything has arisen since then.
Hope all is well.
Hello Fellas! 🙂
Bad dreams or nightmare is occurring during rapid eye movement sleep that results in feeling of terror. I believe this happening because people working through traumatic events. Repeated nightmares on the other hand is specifically as a series of nightmare with a recurring theme. Nightmares are often associated with outside stressors or exist alongside another mental disorder. Maybe a trauma or anxiety happened before. Well, at least that is the explanation in the book. But, for me, a dream a something message from nowhere or a sign or something. 😉
