Summary

The author uses dream interpretation, particularly Carl Jung's method, to understand the death of a cousin and prevent the potential death of her husband's niece by advising her parents to allow the child to mature and develop her personality freely.

Abstract

The author recounts how the tragic death of her cousin Efi led her to explore dream interpretation as a means to heal and become a better mother. She found Carl Jung's method particularly insightful, revealing that dreams can offer warnings and foresight into future events. After dreaming about the reason behind Efi's death, the author foresaw a similar fate for her husband's niece, Helen, and courageously advised Helen's parents to foster her independence. Despite initial backlash, the author believes her intervention played a role in Helen's growth and survival, emphasizing the importance of allowing children the freedom to develop their personalities and follow their destinies, regardless of one's belief in the significance of dreams.

How A Dream Helped Me Prevent A Girl’s Death

Even if you don’t believe in the importance of dreams, you will surely believe in the importance of the freedom you should give your children.

When my cousin Efi died in a train accident at the age of 18, I wrote a poem saying that I wished I could at least understand why she had to die, even if this notion did nothing to lessen my pain.

At that time (in 1984) I started to be interested in the meaning of dreams because I felt insecure and I was always nervous. I wanted to be healed not only because I needed peace, but because I was pregnant and I wanted to be a good mother to my son.

I studied the dream interpretation methods of several psychologists before concluding that only Carl Jung’s method couldn’t be eliminated for some reason.

Thanks to his method, I understood that dreams give us important warnings and predict the future. If we obey the instructions of the wise unconscious mind that produces our dreams, we can prevent bad things from happening.

I was very impressed when I saw that my dreams helped me in many other ways besides offering me free psychotherapy.

A year later I saw a dream that explained to me why my cousin died, fulfilling the wish I had to know why she had to die when I wrote a poem for her.

In the dream, I saw that her mother, my aunt Chara had deliberately let something burn on the stove and I knew in the dream that what she let burn belonged to Efi.

When we cook something in a dream, this means that we prepare the attitude that we are going to have, depending on what we cook. For example, if we cook meat we will have a violent attitude. If we cook vegetables, we will have a calm attitude.

I didn’t see what my aunt cooked, but I saw that she left the attitude (food) she prepared for my cousin to burn on purpose. I understood that my aunt did not let my cousin have the right attitude in life.

Efi was 18 years old but looked like a 10-year-old girl. My aunt controlled her completely and didn’t let her develop normally.

When Efi passed away my aunt Chara told me that she had a dream in which Efi was climbing a mountain and she told her all the time to be careful not to fall. She told me that this scene was repeated several times in the dream.

I didn’t understand what the dream meant when she told me what she had dreamed, but I could understand its meaning a year later when I learned to interpret dreams with Jung’s method.

When we climb a mountain in a dream, it means that we accept to face a very important challenge for our development as human beings. So, Efi needed to face that challenge (climb that mountain), but my aunt didn’t let her progress.

Therefore, it became clear to me that Efi died because she was too immature since my aunt didn’t let her mature normally. I was very saddened by this realization, mainly because I liked my cousin very much.

I had already realized that my aunt Chara was very mean before I had these revelations in dreams. I was even scared several times when I talked to her and she told me what she thought. She was very selfish and unfair. I never said anything to her, but I thought she was so mean that she should be ashamed to tell others her thoughts…

I also had a dream explaining to me why a young friend of mine had passed away when she became ill, but I will not tell this case now so as not to deviate from my initial subject. I only mention this fact so that you understand that dreams give us explanations about the death of young people, who die prematurely.

When a good person dies young, he/she is spared. She doesn’t suffer as much as she would if she continued living because she had a life based on goodness. If she continued living she would end up being ruined by the evil of the world. So, her untimely death protects her from much unjust suffering.

Sometime after the dream I had about the reason for Efi’s death I had a strange dream about my husband’s niece. In the dream, I saw that this niece, who was called Helen, would end up dying like Efi.

I was very scared and didn’t hesitate to tell her mother that she should let Helen develop without preventing her from maturing because otherwise, she would die like my cousin, which I foresaw in a dream.

I explained to her that dream messages should be taken seriously and that Carl Jung’s method of interpretation was reliable.

She got very angry with me and didn’t want to believe that prediction. My husband was also furious with me when I told him what happened.

Everyone condemned me because I told Helen’s mother what I saw in the dream and advised her to let her daughter mature without impeding her growth in any way. She was offended and told me that she had no intention of blocking her daughter’s development. Helen’s father, my husband’s cousin, was also very angry with what I said.

However, everyone stopped condemning me when I told them that I would never forgive myself if I didn’t do everything I could to stop Helen’s death after having that warning in a dream.

Helen was an only child. She was a very smart girl who ended up graduating in chemistry and decided to live in Canada and not in Greece where she was born and raised because she wouldn’t be able to develop professionally in a tourist country like Greece. She later went to live in the United States.

I cannot prove that nothing bad happened to her thanks to the courage I had to tell everyone the warning I had in a dream, but I believe that the fact that she is an only child and that she decided to live far from her parents in a distant country proves that she needed help to be able to follow the destiny she chose.

If I hadn’t warned her parents not to stop her from developing her personality, they would probably have objected and tried to stop her from living abroad.

While neither her mother nor her father respected the importance of the warning I had in a dream, I’m sure they were too scared to stop their daughter from living away from them.

I have been attacked and condemned on other occasions when I told others what they should do to prevent something bad from happening because I was warned about it in a dream, but I never failed to warn of the evil I foresaw and I never failed to prevent the evil from happening thanks to my courage to tell the truth.

Maybe in other articles I will write about these cases, or maybe not because my intention in writing this article was not to show my readers that we can prevent bad things from happening if we have a warning in a dream, since everyone must learn to interpret their dreams according to the method discovered by Carl Jung to enable them to understand dream messages.

I know that most people don’t have the time to study his method, nor do they believe that it’s worth the trouble.

My intention in writing this article on how I managed to prevent the death of my husband’s niece after I had a warning in a dream and after I understood why my cousin died thanks to dream interpretation is to show all parents that they should not prevent the development of their children’s personality, even if they do not believe that dreams should be taken seriously.

All young people must have the freedom to follow whatever inclination they have, and all must mature.

I hope that even if my readers don’t believe that warnings in dreams are so important, they will be afraid to interfere in their children’s personality development and that they will be afraid to prevent their children from following their destiny.

Although Helen’s parents never admitted that my warning was responsible for the freedom they gave their daughter, I’m very pleased that they let her follow the path she preferred, that she is still alive, and that she continues to do chemical research with her husband, who also studied chemistry. Both work together and are united and happy.

If the evil that I had predicted in a dream had happened, no one would have doubted the veracity of my prediction and I would have been respected.

However, I prefer not to be respected and I don’t care if nobody believes that what I predicted would have actually happened if I hadn’t dared to tell everyone the warning I had in a dream.

I thank God that my prediction was never confirmed and the evil I predicted never happened but was prevented.
