Last night, I dreamed that I was in a hotel lobby, eating the most wonderful desserts with a beautiful younger woman. We were discussing marriage and children and all kinds of important life issues while holding, touching and kissing each other. She was very excited and I felt very loved by this person. I recognized that I don't at present know her, and when I asked her how I could get in touch with her, she said she loved the city of Des Moines, Washington, and I would have to find her there. I can see her appearance, mannerisms and personality clearly in my mind. I am hoping this dream is prophetic, for I have never heard of Des Moines, Washington, before, but it does seem to exist. I also keep having dreams with the number 111 in them. What should I do next? Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Most of the time the people, places and things we see in our dreams represent other things in waking reality. A rock can represent a mother, and a dog can represent a boyfriend. Those dreams aren't very difficult to interpret, even for a beginner. The rock is someone who is inflexible, and the dog, well - a dog is always some kind of dog, including the two-footed kind. Most of the time, things in dreams are symbolic of something else, though straightforward prophetic dreams are of course also possible.
So now you have the awesome possibility that the woman in your dream might represent the woman OF your dreams. Any way you interpret it, in those dreams you are training for her arrival and some other new things that are to come into your life.
The dream shows you in a loving, happy relationship with someone who has all the traits you've ever wanted in a partner. In the dream, she feels the same way about you. What could be more ideal that your relationship showing up in real life? There are lots of clues to help you make it happen.
I am SURE that this woman exists for you, even if she doesn't look exactly like the woman you're dreaming of now. She may be a little older, a little plumper, and a whole lot more interesting that your dream girl, but you can find her.
The internet is a wonderful thing! If she whispered her name, try doing a people search in Des Moines, Washington. You can do this even if you just have a feeling you know her first name. That's a long shot but worth a try.
If you're single, my best advice is to enroll in one of the national match services to find the girl of your dreams. You have to expect to go through lots of pictures and spend a lot of time in chat rooms to find her, but you've been given a target date via your recurring dreams about the number 111.
Michael, if I were you and had a dream that revealed this much to me, I would do my best to find this person within that time period. You have specific information to start searching with. Good luck!

Our dreams and metaphysical experiences can lead us on wonderful paths to fulfill our destinies if we will follow their lead. Sometimes the information we receive doesn't seem to make sense, and often the results aren't what our conscious minds are expecting. Nevertheless, I always encourage people to listen to their hearts, instincts and spiritual guidance.
Many times our conscious minds and practical thinking can get in the way, and it is easy to ignore spiritual messages, particularly if they come in the form of dreams. It has been my experience that if something or someone is in your destiny, the messages will continue to repeat themselves, often getting stronger with each delivery.
Your dream is prophetic in that it evoked strong feelings and did indeed offer you a clue for finding this woman. Because you don't know her name, you will need to visit this city and see if fate will intervene and cross your paths. I recommend scheduling a trip to this place.
You may want to consult a psychic or astrologer for the best time to go. You did not include your birth date in your letter, but it could play an important role in determining the best time to go as well as where to hang out in the city to run across her.
Investigate the personal ad sites from that area, as you might recognize her from a personal ad if she has one listed. You may also want to do a little internet research to see if you can spot pictures of the restaurant from your dream. This may also lead to more clues about where you can find her.
You mention having dreams with the number 111 in them, but not necessarily in the dream you had about the woman. This might indicate a time frame for meeting. It could represent January 11, or November 1. You may also discover when making travel arrangements that you end up on flight 111 or something similar. This number could also be the address of the restaurant or her home. Continue to watch for this number both when awake and dreaming to gain more clues for your quest.
Even if you visit Des Moines, Washington, and do not run across this particular woman from your dream, there could be more important reasons for the trip. You also could meet her on a plane or have other amazing experiences that would never have come your way had you not attempted to locate her.
Good luck, Michael. I hope you will follow your dreams, and in doing so, find your dream girl!

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.
Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!
While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!
I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!
As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.
I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.
You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!
Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.
A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.
You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
