i have a friend that has had two dreams seemingly unrelated to her but to me I found connection. Please tell me what you think. The first one: she was in a dreary marsh area and was walking then she saw an image in this huge tree that appeared to be jesus as she walked she saw light and was drawn to hit there was a huge golden brick wall as she passed through the wall she was in a large grassy area like a pasture there were lots of people kneeling talking singing then she saw her deseased grandmother only she was alive and there was a radiant light that shined down and covered the whole area…she woke up….the second one she was sitting on sofa talking with her diseaced grandfoather only he was alive and then she felt something on her it was a small worm like a maggot she knocked it off only to find she was covered in them she asked her grandfather to help her only he could not see them she takes all her clothing off in an attempt for him to see them only he still could not and she could not get them off…then she wakes up…..a little back ground on my friend she has a lung condition also has som lesions on her splean and liver..her grandparents in the dream were more like her parents for they raised her…can you help interpret these dreams and do you see a connection.

I’ve adopted the Blue Jay as my totem animal. They seem to be where ever i am. Today i was talking about the blue jays then there were at least nine of them that flew over head! It seems that when i am feeling really stressed, i can count on the Blue jays to make their presense known to me, then i am able to let go of whatever was stressing me out.

Hi Liara,

I’m so grateful for your knowledge & insight.

Your interpretations bring another layer of color to the symbolic canvas.

It’s beautiful the way this works – a canvas painted by everybody – all contributing to the greater good – the higher beauty.

Your thoughts are so valuable – thanks again.

To a Canadian, the Blue jays are a major league baseball team (based in Toronto). No surprise that players frequently steal bases. The bird itself is a sneaky robber and uses power wisely.

Surprisingly perhaps, the blue jay is actually a crow relative. Crows are very adept and fearless scavengers. Crows and jay will join together and mob hawks and owls or other birds to drive them off. Jays can assist to you to reconnect with your Higher source on Earth and in heaven.

it makes sense the word “jay” stems from the Latin “gaia” or “gaea” meaning Mother Earth. In Greek mythology, the union of Mother Earth (Gaea) and Father Heaven (Uranus) led to the first living creatures. This view of history explains the jay’s links to heaven and earth. Like the jay, we can each learn to bridge them to tap into greater power.

I often think of blue jays as resilient birds that can be seen out in the wild Canadian winter. Being half Estonian, I relate the colors of the jay to those of the Estonian flag which also link Heaven and sky to earthly water. The black and white marks on jay wings are hard to miss. You may interpret it as sky (blue) separating the Heavens (white) and the Earth (black). The blue jay as a totem visits heaven and earth and reveals secrets about energies found in both.

Hi Doris,

Thank you for sharing this amazing (and heart-warming) phenomenon.

Energy manifests itself in some pretty incredible ways, doesn’t it??

I don’t really have an explanation for you – at least not one that is better than the one you’ve been given:

“Faith is believing when it is beyond reason to believe.”

I’m sure you’ve read the symbolic blue jay points on this post, as well as my page on the blue jay’s symbolic meanings here.

If I may make an additional observation, it would be on the locality of the ethereal blue jay in the photo – the jay is on your brother’s hand.

Hands are symbolic of activity, honesty, and generosity. They’ve also been attributed to matters of faith (in the realm of supplication, prayer position, and mudras). Left hands are typically symbolic of receiving, right hands are symbolic of giving.

Is your mother reaching out to you? My personal opinion? Absolutely.

I’d say you and your family are blessed with a protective presence (furthering this point is the blue jay’s affinity for protection, as I mentioned on this page.)

You may find more clarification and peace by entering into the energy of the blue jay, as well as your mom’s energy.

Communicating with animal energy or family energy of those who are no longer physically present is neither difficult, nor is it unusual.

It’s as simple as closing our eyes, recalling the light-filled moments of smiles, laughter, and beauty shared between souls that are forever connected……as simple as embracing the vibrant blue of the jay, and letting that crystal clear azure wash over us in refreshing waves of clarity.

With love & blessings,
A.

My mom passed away in January. I was out for a walk with my brother and neice and we were singing a song that was sang at her bedside the days before she died and at her funeral reception. I had the photo developed and noticed that there was a bluejay sitting on my brother’s hand appeared in the photo, the bluejay was not there the day we took the photo. In fact, we did not see any birds in sight that day. The bluejay is very clear, it is not in the background. I put the photo under magnifying glass also took it to the photo shop and zoomed in on this part of the photo. It still is a bluejay, it’s not the lighting or the shape of my brother’s hand. Do you have an explanation? After trying endlessly to find out what this is and thinking about giving up….I saw a sign in a store that reads the following: Faith is believing when it is beyond reason to believe.
