Dream of Kandani temple

I was in a cave, a holy place, a church, I don't know but it was a sacred place.
It was all curved - the ceiling and walls were made up of geometric shapes which shone with gold, as though they were stained glass but the light shone through like real gold.
I was told that I was in Kandani.

On awakening I discovered the Kandani Shrine of Japan, the photos I saw appear to have shapes and gold so correspond with that, it is a shrine to the 'Shinto' way of life. It is pre-religion and a bit of an explanation from Wikipedia:
The word Shinto ("way of the gods") was adopted, originally as Shindo,^[8] from the written Chinese Shendao (神道,pinyin: shén dào),^{[9][note 2]} combining two kanji: "shin" (神^?), meaning "spirit" or kami; and "tō" (道^?), meaning a philosophical path or study (from the Chinese word dào).^[6][9] The oldest recorded usage of the word Shindo is from the second half of the 6th century.^[8] Kami are defined in English as "spirits", "essences" or "gods", referring to the energy generating the phenomena.^[10] Since Japanese language does not distinguish between singular and plural, kami refers to the divinity, or sacred essence, that manifests in multiple forms: rocks, trees, rivers, animals, places, and even people can be said to possess the nature of kami.^[10] Kami and people are not separate; they exist within the same world and share its interrelated complexity.^[6]

I take this information to prove that all things are connected, nature, spirit and all beings.

Dream gift - Atanasia

I walked into a small white room to receive a Reiki treatment. I lay down on the bed.

A lady came in, she was slim, middle aged and wearing glasses and held a book. She sat next to me and began to read from the book.

She said something along the lines of

' Atanasia, we are, we are from...'

I felt absolutely euphoric, I said - "I have no family, I am from no country, I am just I!"

I was determined that I had to remember this word and so spelled it out in the dream several times out loud.

She then continued,

"You must allow the mind to walk alongside you but not control you"

I awoke and googled the word, to discover that it is an old Greek work translating to

'deathlessness, immortality'.

I also realised then that the tiger from my other dreams was my conscious mind, my ego. 

As in the teachings of Eckhart Tolle amongst others, the mind is only a part of your physical being but will control your all if left to its own devices. However your higher consciousness is the truly powerful part. 

I had begun to separate the mind from the self.

Dream of awakening part 2

I was walking through a large empty building. As before, the rooms were all a creamy white colour. The same tiger was with me but strolled by my side as would an obedient dog. We walked through doorways, through different rooms.

Dream of awakening part 1

September 2014
I was in a station of some sort. I was seated in a cream leather type sofa, it was very busy and people milled around me, going about their business. It was a large room and did not feel crowded, I was perfectly content.
I noticed 3 dogs coming over to me, excited and happy. They varied in size from small to large.
The biggest dog was the most persistent and practically put his head into my lap so I put out my hand to stroke him.
In that second it changed, he was now a tiger, directly in front of me, his eyes piercingly staring into mine. He held the hand I had put out, firmly yet not roughly, in his mouth, between his teeth.
I was not scared, I thought how it was my left hand anyway so it would not be so bad to lose it. I noticed a little foreign man trying to pull the tiger away by his tail, he was in a bit of a panic, I asked him to please help, in Spanish, but he did not understand.
So I looked back at the tiger. I felt a white energy envelope my inner body, and realised that the tiger could not hurt me if I let this energy flow for I was stronger than he. I felt the energy run into my hand and knew that all was fine.
I awoke, rather puzzled.
