The life of a Paralympian is one of hard work and dedication, with the prize of glory at the end. In the past decade, as more and more people are discovering the world of Paralympic sports, we have seen some incredible stories emerge. One such story is that of Michael McKillop, sometimes called “the fastest man in Ireland”. [Read more…]
Many brain injury sufferers feel like they have been abducted by aliens during the time they were unconscious and didn’t know where they were or who they were. They often have amnesia of what happened to them. However it is actually quite common to have a bad dream while you are in hospital prior to having a CT scan and an MRI testing your head and brain function. The reason for having these tests is so doctors can tell you if you are suffering from a type of concussion, a cerebral hemorrhage, or even worse, if you have damage or bleeding on your brain tissue. Talking about; Dreaming of bleeding from your head, Dreaming of a wound on your head.
Dream About Head Injury
Some people love the salt-and-pepper look. And therefore, they merrily flaunt their grey hair and do nothing to hide it. They feel it is a sign of maturity, and that the white strands of hair, suits their personality. Are you one of those who takes pride in having grey hair or are you someone who hates it? Today, in this web-post, we will tell you what it means when you dream about having premature grey hair.
You may or may not ponder over a dream when you wake up in the morning. But dream interpreters like to analyse what dreams mean based on the past, present or future circumstances.
As stated above, grey hair symbolises maturity and wisdom. Therefore, a person may have attained these in his/her life sooner than expected. It means that a person has put all his life experiences together to emerge wiser personality. Therefore, he/she is someone who will act pragmatically even when the situations are adverse without getting perturbed. This proves that they have reached a stage in their life when nothing bothers them much, and they know how to deal with it.
Dreaming about grey hair could also mean that a person may have come across his/her spiritual side. To attain a higher spiritual understanding, a person needs to be knowledgeable and at the same time, sensible.
There is yet another way of interpreting the dream of seeing yourself with grey hair. And this one is not pleasant though. Some people hate grey hair, be it mature or premature. Even one strand of grey hair could rattle them. And they would do a variety of things to cover it up. This happens because they fear growing older.
And last but not least. Dreaming about having grey hair could suggest that you are undergoing a stressful situation in your life. Your agony, depression and anxiety could reflect in the form of grey hair. And therefore, introspect and find a practical solution to your problem without losing grip over your senses.
Dreaming of having a head injury often indicates that someone or something will make you change your point of view and it will affect your judgment.
Maybe you feel start losing your own thoughts and opinions because someone will try to make you believe in what they say and think.
This dream is related to manipulation and bad intentions someone might have towards you. If you want to avoid getting in that situation, you should firstly think about who that person might be.
It is often the people close to us who try to manipulate us for their own good.
Dreaming of having a head injury is a symbol of the inability to see the real picture or make a decision on your own.
If you had a dream about getting hit on the head, it might be that your actions and thoughts will get back at you and you will need to face the consequences of your actions.
Also, someone may want to fraud you and take advantage of you by manipulating you and lying to you.
Let’s see some of the interpretations of the most common dream about head injuries.
Dreaming of getting your head injured
If you had a dream in which your head was injured by someone or something, a sharp tool, or anything similar, it means that you are suspicious about something. You don’t trust someone and you are worried that they might fraud you and take advantage of you.
Also, this dream indicates that your subconscious mind is worried about your well-being and that you suffer from too much stress.
You need to stop worrying and forget about negative things you think about constantly.
Another meaning of this dream is that someone is trying to make you believe them so they can take advantage of you in the future. Someone needs something from you and they are trying hard to get it.
Dreaming of injuring your own head
If you had a dream about hurting yourself by punching your head to the wall or something similar, it means that you regret doing something in the past.
You need to let the past go and focus on the present moment and the future. If you can find a way to make things right and stop regretting the past, then do it.
Injuring yourself in a dream has a negative meaning and it is related to the way you see yourself. You might feel like you deserve to be punished for your actions or to feel pain, but that is just your vision.
It’s better to start working on yourself and try to fix your mistakes.
Dreaming of bleeding from your head
If you had a dream about blood and it came from your head, it means that your perception is blurred.
Possibly you can’t see the reality and you constantly push yourself to believe something that’s not true.
Maybe you can’t stop thinking about a person from the past and it is hard for you to face the truth and accept that they are no longer with you right now.
It is also possible that this dream is a sign of a broken heart of yours and you just can’t move on.
This dream is a symbol of pain that comes from missing someone and you are probably craving for someone that is gone a long time ago. Being heartbroken is hard to handle, but life always goes on.
Dreaming of a scar on your head
If you saw a scar on your head, it means that you are still not over something that happened in the past.
Maybe you feel better and you know you are doing well, but that thing still haunts you. This dream represents memories that you can’t let go of.
A scar on your head is a symbol of something you suffered from in the past and even tho you are over it, it didn’t stop showing in your head and mind.
Maybe time will show you that you can forget anything, but since you had this dream, it means that ghosts from the past are still haunting you.
Also, this dream may mean that you will regret saying or thinking about something when you realize that you are wrong.
Dreaming of a wound on your head
If you had a dream about a big, open wound on your head it means that you are scared of something.
Maybe you are scared of death or something really bad, and it is pictured in your dream.
When people are scared and have suppressed fears, they often dream about bad things that happen to them.
Dreaming of having your head injured is a serious sign that you are anxious because of your fears and this dream is showing you that these fears are taking over you.
You should first accept your fears and then start trying to get rid of them because they can’t bring you anything good.
Dreaming of having an object stuck in your head
If you got injured by someone or accidentally in your dream and you have an object stuck in your head, it may mean that someone is trying to convince you that you are wrong about something.
But that person has negative reasons and they want to take advantage of you.
Maybe someone from your work is trying to make you look bad so they can look smart in front of your boss, or something similar.
You should be aware that not everyone is your friend and you shouldn’t trust everyone.
This dream is a warning for you to be more careful with who you trust and make smart decisions so you don’t get scammed.
Dreaming of having bruises on your head
This dream is related to your love life and relationships.
If you had many bruises on your head, it means that you had some bad relationships that hurt you and probably make you think people are bad.
You have lost faith in love and you don’t have enough energy to look for someone new.
However, this dream is not so bad because those bruises indicate that you are now ready to commit to someone.
An injury to the head is not always a negative sign and can be a symbol of healing and recovery from the past.
You may soon meet someone who will try to get closer to you and will show interest in you. If that happens, this dream is telling you to give it a shot and stop crying over your destiny because you can change it.
Dreaming of cracking your skull
If you had a dream about breaking bones in your head, it means that you will start something new.
This dream is a symbol of new chances and plans and it indicates a new beginning. You might start having hobbies or doing sports or even start learning new skills that will bring you money.
This dream is positive because it indicates that you will stop what you are doing now and start all over again. Change is good and inevitable. You will feel much better once you start doing things you like.
The meaning of this dream is that you will finally start changing your life and rearranging thoughts in your head.
Maybe you will feel insecure at the beginning, but you should know that every change is difficult. However, once you get rid of the things that are stopping you from enjoying your life, the bad times will end for you.
Dreaming of injuring someones’ head
If you hurt someone in your dream and you hit them in the head, it means that you are angry with someone. You are probably annoyed by their choices and the way they think. You likely think their actions and thoughts are stupid and you are irritated because their actions affect your life.
Hurting someone in the head is a symbol of the anger that you feel and you don’t know how to cool down.
You don’t want to get in a fight with that person, but they keep annoying you and making you look like a fool so you may stop talking to that person.
If you have been feeling stressed out lately then this could be why your dreams are showing up as head injuries.
Dreams are a fascinating insight into the mind. Having a dream about head injury can be quite frightening, especially if you have had a real life accident before. If this is your first time having this kind of dream, it may be caused by stress or anxiety.
If you have had a traumatic experience with your head and need to deal with the effects of it, dreams are an excellent way to let your subconscious deal with these issues without you having to consciously think about them all the time. In order to help yourself get rid of this problem, it is important that you find ways that work best for you in dealing with these issues so that they will no longer bother you as much as they used to when they first started happening.
Dreams about head injury can be frightening, but they don’t always mean something bad is going to happen. Most of the time, they’re just a sign that you need to take care of yourself—and that’s not a bad thing!
If you dream about your head hurting or being injured in some way, it may be a sign that you’ve been working hard and need some rest. It could also mean that you need to pay more attention to your health and make sure you’re getting enough sleep and exercise.
If your dream was about someone else getting hurt or injured in their head, this might be a sign that someone close to you needs support right now—or that they’re feeling overwhelmed by their responsibilities (and are perhaps feeling fragile because of it). In this case, try reaching out and offering help if they seem open to it—you’ll both feel better!
spiritual meaning of bumping your head
Several weeks ago, right before our June ZOOM conference, I had a bike accident. The night of the accident (as I foolishly tried to ride my bike at night after a lovely evening with friends) I wound up in the ER with twelve stitches in my chin. Because of the upcoming ZOOM conference, I was not aware that I suffered a concussion. However, following the ZOOM conference I started experiencing dizziness, light-headedness and disorientation—all symptoms of a full-blown concussion. I landed in the ER two more times in early July and was told that I had multiple concussion syndrome (due to previous head injuries in the last five years.) I had to cease all writing and computer work, as well as driving and alcohol (ugh!) As I watched everyone leave for vacation, I awoke each day praying for healing, knowing that the remainder of my summer would be quite different than what I had planned. My mother used to say: “God never closes one door without opening another.”
What doors can open in a state of concussion? The doors of patience, mindfulness, gratitude and living the momentary events of our lives as blessed events. Academia is like an athletic contest, a fast-paced cognitive sprint marked by endless demands for articles, books, talks and intellectual performance. I must say, the night of the accident, my head was full of thoughts, ideas and emotions, as if trying to solve the world’s problems entwined with the complexities of my own life. As I started experiencing the effects of the concussion, I began to realize the preciousness of life’s moments and the great insight of living in the now, for the present moment is really all we have.
What did I learn from this accident? That every moment is a blessed event, a God-event, something Saint Paul realized in his own way, after falling off his horse. By saying this, I do not mean that God is watching over us in every event; rather every event has an ultimate horizon, an absolute center of infinite possibilities held open for a particular response in this particular moment. The ultimate horizon of each life-event is God. There is no other God than the God of the eternal now. God is not simply the ultimate horizon of life; God is the ultimacy of life in this moment. How I live in this moment, therefore, makes a difference to my eternal existence, to the final definition of my life, and what my life means for the world, since the final decision of my life—in this moment–is my irreversible contribution to the world.
I think we all, at some point or another, have related to God as an object of prayer or devotion or maybe simply a topic of discussion but seldom do we think of God as the event horizon of each moment of life. God is not an object and we are the subjects; God is the absolute horizon of subjectivity itself. In my disoriented consciousness, I became more conscious that God is the absolute future of my life in this moment; my life and God’s life are unified in a single flow of life. In this moment, therefore, I must decide who or what I exist for. Am I with God or not? Am I mindful of God or forgetful of God, wrapped up in my self? We seldom realize that a God-consciousness of the present moment (or lack of) determines the future of our lives.
We often take for granted the moments of our lives in the same way we take for granted the air we breathe and the light of day. The truth is, however, every moment of life is gift and in every moment we must decide for life or against life: we must make a choice. Without a conscious awareness of each moment as a blessed event, we could easily squander the precious gift of life. For each event is final and irreversible: we cannot go back and change the events of time. In a single moment our lives can change irreversibly; the finality of each event determines our future. In a single moment, the entire world can change. One has only to recall the event of 9/11 or, more recently, the outbreak of COVID-19.
Life is a series of momentary God-events. In each moment God is creating, waiting, responding, loving and caring for us– not as a big Being over us but as the ultimate, eternal, divine horizon of our unique, personal existence. With God as the root reality of our lives, we cannot afford to live recklessly or mindlessly, as if life is here to serve our needs. We cannot self-indulge, over-medicate, intoxicate or satiate our endless desires and expect the world to serve our whims: the unexamined life is not worth living. The world can only flourish if we flourish as authentic beings. To grow into my authentic self is to grow into God, which requires a vigilant mindfulness of each moment I engage life. Thomas Merton (following Augustine) said it so well: to find God is to find myself, and to find myself is to find God, for God is more interior to me than I am to myself.
Spending these days reflecting on our national and global crises, I cannot help but think that we are on a path accelerating downward. The frenetic pace of modern life with its blind competitive streak, aimed at achievement, success, money and power is a mindless existence, a society running toward the cliff of emotional and psychological burnout. Global warming burnout is a consequence of this cliff-hanging existence; so too is COVID-19. We are an overdrive, out-of-control culture, where even going on vacation can be another form of stress, as we make every effort to relax.
Pondering the potency of life’s moments, I realize the need to live mindfully, awakening to each conscious moment as a new moment of light and the immediate experience of existence itself. We must learn new ways of “minding the mind,” as the Buddha realized. To practice mindfulness is to focus each breath of conscious awareness on the root reality of existence itself: the root of my life is God’s life and the root of God’s life is my life. Centering prayer means living from a deeper center of this divine presence, co-creating with God the moments of my final existence-for each moment is, potentially, my final existence. We tend to live as if the future is forever and the best of life is yet to come. Mindful living means to live backwards, as if this moment could be my last and final moment. In this moment is the potential for my eternal happiness or endless sorrow: the choice is mine.
To live in the God-moments of life, minding the mind, is to realize all we desire is here–in this moment–our happiness, peace and joy. Vacation may be a change of scenery but more so it is a change of mind (from the Latin vacare, “to empty out”). If we can learn to sit still and turn our minds to the immediate horizon of our lives, realizing that in each moment time and eternity are entangled, perhaps we can live in gratitude for the moments that shape our lives. To live mindful of eternity is to make the best use of time. My prayer for each of you is to live each moment mind-fully, as the final moment of life, by rooting your lives in the breath of eternal love.
Please continue to pray for my healing, and let us pray together, united in the energies of love, that we cherish the moments of our lives.
