Transforming dreams and similar things

Hi everyone, just wanted to share a dream I had recently:

I was in a big haunted house (kind of hellish), other people were around that were scared and sad. Several doors led to scary places. A little boy started to come after me like he was going to eat me (he seemed possessed), I picked him up and held him above my head for some reason, but things escalated and my feelings grew worse and extremely frightened. A lot of scary images were arising in the house and it grew. I suppose everything was so bad that some kind of instinctive reaction to a fear took place and I shouted "By the power of white magic and pure love let me heal this!" (not sure where I got the white magic thing). I remember focusing on and feeling the purest most powerful love. I distinctly remember thinking "nothing can harm which doesn't exist; there's nothing to harm" as this happened things grew lighter in images and then I was flooded with love and sort of non-existence. So, instantly all fear and all scary images vanished. The "haunted" house was no longer haunted and it was smaller. I felt so at peace and no-fear. I opened a door and I was in clouds and brightness. I looked to my right and there's the little boy from earlier, with his family and they're glowing and smiling at me.

Then I wake up!

So happy I remembered this one. Gives me confidence in life to transform those crazy situations. I just loved the imagery and transformation. Also, of note, I'm thankful for the beginning of the dream, it brought out a really loving part of me.

Has anyone else had any transforming dreams or similar things?

    That's an awesome dream!

    My grandmother passed away many years ago when i was a teenager. I was never that close to her to be honest. She was just another older person I ignored.

    However, about a month after she died I had a dream that I was in her kitchen and she came up to me and gave me a kiss on the cheek and told me she wanted to say goodbye to me. I woke up in tears! It still puts a lump in my throat thinking about it.

    I am not saying I believe that she actually came back to me (how would I know?) but it seemed so real at the time.

    I feel that components of our nature and being are reflected in that which arises. Including dreams :)

    I recently had a hellish dream involving some sort of parasytic vampire/zombie/octopus thingee trying to kill or undead me. Quite gory. Especially as I bit back ... Had no sense of dread or pain. Just another picnic time in hell ... Hey Ho!

    I put it down to eating cheese too late and watching horror movies instead of dharma talks ... :3

    As I prefer cheese and horror to dharma talks on YouTube (who said they are the same thing?) there may be no hope for me, unless I can engage with the sort of positive dreams resolutions you mention <3
