My name is Kayla and I'm a Gemini. I had a dream that God was talking to me and he said that I used to be a girl named Kelly Somsky whom people called the shadow
because one day I disappeared. He told me I was very religious. In my dream, he also showed me a picture of the girl that was black and white. She had brown hair and brown eyes just like me, but unlike me she, was thin. I have been reading the Bible lately and becoming more religious. Can you tell me what this dream means?

You dream has many interesting clues for you to examine. For starters, it is a sign that you need to look more closely at yourself, at who you are and where you are headed. This type of dream often inspires the dreamer to make important changes in their life in order to better align with their soul and destiny.
As a Gemini, you were born into the world with two separate and distinct personalities. We all have a light and shadow side, so it is interesting to note that God referred to a girl named Kelly who used to be called the shadow.
The fact that she disappeared is very important, for it suggests that God was referring to a part of you that was hidden or buried early in childhood.
The girl's name is not as important as what you learned about her. Numerologically, the first name Kelly
is a number two, which again suggests that there are two sides to you. Your name Kayla
vibrates to the number five, which reveals that your intellectual nature is much stronger than your implied counterpart. Number vibrations are similar to astrology; they can influence us but do not absolutely define our personalities or destinies. To learn more, enter your full name and date of birth into a numerological website and find your destiny numbers.
It's interesting to note that in this dream, you were presented with a picture of a girl who looked very similar to you except for her size. This may indicate that when you were younger (and smaller), you had a much broader, more complex personality. Most of us can identify a point in childhood when our innocence and optimism were diminished because some event caused us to pull back and hide certain aspects of ourselves.
In the dream, you were told that you were religious. Religion is a good starting point when people begin to explore their spiritual nature. However, please be cautious about getting involved with any group that might try to control you through fear or moral edicts. You are perfectly capable of connecting with God one-on-one and making your decisions based on intuition, awareness and dreams such as the one you have described.
I feel this dream is calling for you to revive the small child within you and integrate her into your current life. When you feel stressed or confused, that's a great time to call on Kelly,
invite her into the light, and learn more about her. A guided meditation or psychic reading can help you learn more about her as well, which will make it easier to meld with her and bring these two parts of yourself back together.

Dreams are often about wish fulfillment, and dream characters are often a part of us. The name Kelly
is a thinly-disguised version of Kayla
since both contain the letters K, L and Y. Since black-and-white photographs are associated with the past, Kelly is a younger version of you who has since disappeared. She is thin like a shadow, as you once were when you were younger. You dreamed of her because you would like to recover and embrace that lost part of yourself - not just her size but her identity, too.
I encourage you to ponder whether the letters in Somsky
bring anything to mind. I notice that it contains all the letters in smoky.
Just as hazy smoke obscures vision, you were unable to see clearly that Kelly is you! The word also makes me think of some sky.
Are you spending too much time indoors, reading? Do you long to breathe fresh air and see some sky? I recommend you walk through a local garden or park and let Mother Nature nurture you.
Dreams are symbolic, so the black-and-white photo may also represent black-and-white (all-or-none) thinking. It's not a matter of fat or thin; there are many shades of gray and many weights in between. The recent documentary Forks Over Knives, which depicts a loving approach to health and weight-loss, would be worth your while. Most libraries also carry DVDs to help you exercise at home; as little as ten minutes a day would make a difference!
Back to all-or-none thinking: it's not a matter of you being religious or not religious. Pleasure and virtue, body and soul don't have to be mutually exclusive! When we examine the history of the Western world, we see that the ancient Greeks and Romans found value in all aspects of humanity: physical health, intellectual pursuits, artistic expression, sensual pleasures and good character.
Between the fall of their civilizations and the late 1400s, about a thousand years went by during which Christianity promoted asceticism. It was deemed better to suffer in this life as Christ did and put off rewards until the afterlife. The Renaissance brought renewed focus on the joys of earthly life. I believe we can celebrate these joys AND live spiritual lives.
If you are overweight, you may be using food to numb out painful feelings. Becoming very religious is yet another way to avoid oneself by focusing on the soul and excluding the body. I encourage you to seek some counseling so you can reclaim Kelly along with any lost feelings and wisdom she may hold. Bring her out of the shadows and into the light!

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.
