Was it Jung? or Freud? one of those dream-therapist genius gurus who said that when we dream, all the characters and figures in our dreams are all parts of us, they are all us, not "women" or "monsters" or "mother" or "little girl" or "celebrity" or "guy with gun" but all our own brain's manifestations of parts of our own psyche, parts of our own character. Our dream people are all us. So, the minority woman in you is furious with you and is demanding that you take a stand, either against that part of yourself or for, but on your own terms, not on the terms of your political idology or religious dogma, that's what I see anyway from that bit 'o dream...

Actually Lotesse, it seems to be a metaphor for the immigration issue...
Lief, this has to be the most interesting dream I've heard in quite awhile.

Considering that I know Lief a little more than Lotesse, mine makes more sense. We'll have to see, when Lief gets back to us.

On the whole, it sounds like a rather mundane dream, Lief. You didn't even see any dragons, dancing mice or nightmares with commercials.

Okay one time i dreamt that i was in rohan, and i was blowing merry's horn. Eomer came out and asked me what the problem was. I told him "the remaining orcs are starting to attack the shire!" with that treebeard and i went back to the shire as the hobbits started running. i saw there were 300,000 orcs( whait... how'd that many survive without sauron? ) I grabbed rosie and sam as they ran past. "Go into the hills. Take everyone with u!" sam looked shocked "Star?! U're alive?!!!" I pushed him "Duh! now get everyone into the hills!" they nodded and left. Merry came running up "Star? What are mad? U can't hold them off by yourself!" "Merry, I can stall them long enough for rohan to get here! now go!" he grabbed my arm "Star i won't let u die!" i tear ran down his cheeck "Merry i won't die. I promise, we'll see each other again!" Merry sighed and let go "Be careful Star! I...I..." He couldn't talk I smiled as the tears ran down my cheeks. "Merry, I'll be fine. I have something to fight for." He looked up at me "What? What could be worth risking your life?" "You." He looked AT me in shock. "Star, I...I..." he grew silent and i kissed him (That's a dream i didn't want to wake up from!) as i pulled away he smiled and left. "Bring it on!" I had killed 100 orcs when rohan arrived. after the battle was over Merry came out looking for me. "NO!" Merry ran to my side. I was lying flat on the ground. "Star! Star!" I moaned wearily "Merry..." he held me in his arms "I'm sorry.... so sorry..." with that i blacked out. when i unblacked out i was in a bed. Eomer walked in and thats when i woke up. weird huh?

As regards Lotesse's interpretation, in the dream the woman was not kindly leading me but was nastily blocking me whenever I tried to move, because she was impatient to make her turn but at the same time was afraid to hit me. I personally prefer Hector's interpretation, myself. It seems to me to make sense that her dangerous driving might be the result of her being an illegal alien and not having gone through a US driving school. It's not like I'm any kind of final word on the matter, of course. I could certainly be wrong and someone else right.

In certain methods of dream invoking, you can gain control of your dreams and make them about what ever you want. In your subconscious you can actually retain the memory of, for example, everything that's in your house. That example was quite useful for me when I was trying to find something important that I had lost. Because of the dream I was able to find what I had misplaced. Dreams can actually help heal you, as afterall, dreams are a way of your brain to "defrag" or do a "disk scan" sort of. Some methods of dream invoking can be used to remove depression, which in and of itself can do a substantial amount of damage physically, due to the chemicals released or stored by the brain. The taking up of a chemical from the body, or the release of another, can make your body work less efficiently, causing someone to not heal as fast as they really should.
Some dreams though are quite mundane and very random. Some dreams have no purpose except for your brain to organize either useless or useful information when in the dream it just appears to be useless random information. We live in a world where everything we see, hear, smell, taste, and feel can have some definition. But in the realm of thought, which involves the exchange of information in the brain, things are mostly undefined and reality means almost nothing in a dream. Subconscious control over them gives more definition to them, sort of how one would go about materializing matter from energy. Doing the exact opposite would be similar to using magic. |

That really doesn't explain why I have all these dreams where I am extreamly violent, like throwing my stalker ex- boyfriend off a building or engaging in battle with 300 spartians (I'm seriuos about that one)

I've had some wicked weird dreams in my day. There was this one where I was looking over this plain from the top of a hill. The plain was green and beautiful and had a huge river running through it. In the center of the plain was a city, like a modern day city that looked like New York. It was really bright and sunny. Then these clouds rolled in out of nowhere, they just kinda appeared, like the sky was on fire. The sun was blotted out and it was really hard to see anything at all. Every now and again the clouds would break up a little bit and silvery white light would stream through, like moonlight except brighter. Then, there was a darker shadow that stretched across the plain. I looked up and there was this huge thing flying over me. It had huge wings, I mean REALLY big, and a long skinny neck, at the end of which was a bulbous, misshappen head. It also had a long tail with smaller wings coming off of it and ended in a feathery or spikey protrusion. There were two arms that looked like T-Rex arms comming out of its chest, and instead of legs it had these two really long tendrils. It flew out over to the city and landed on these two buildings and ran the tendrils down around them to hold on. Its wings and tail just kind of hung there, and its head was hanging vertically. I went into the city and found some weapons, the city was deserted. Then I saw a single light in one of the buildings that the creature was on top of. I went in and found a guy and we left together. When we were leaving the city we looked up and there was some black fog coming out of the thing's head, which was made up of a bunch of eyes of different sizes, and this round perforation for a mouth. The fog was leaking out of the creases of the eyes. Then it spat this huge black fog-ball into the middle of the city. it punched through the ground and all this black fog began seeping out. The thing took off from the building and flew away, and out of the hole in the ground came all these red tendrils, that wrapped around the buildings and streets, then this big red thing came out of the hole, and began beating like a heart. Then I could see the hole planet, and there were these big flying things everywhere, and they were making the planet come to life, and there was this big thing coming from far out in space to eat Earth when it became totally organic.
This was a really creepy dream. What does it mean?

That's pretty apocalyptic. Very, very weird. My feeling is it's symbolically describing the end of the world. It reminds me of a dream I once had, though mine was much less dramatic. In my dream, there was an alien army that was planning to conquer Earth, but before they could conquer Earth, they needed a certain amount of spiritual power. They dug down beneath the Earth's crust to the ruins of ancient Babylon, and there was a carving of a giant serpent on the ground down there. Then the serpent began to come to life.
That's rather similar to your description of an alien power from outside only being able to attack and eat the earth after an insidious power from inside the Earth has consumed it, consumed it with what IMO is sin. In yours it was a beating heart with black fog and red tendrils, in mine the devil and the ancient power of Babylon (the heart of evil, according to the Bible). Though yours, again, was far more dramatic than mine. My opinion is that your dream shows sin consuming the world with the decline of the Christian era of dominance in world power, and then your dream describes the inevitable destruction of the world that will result when our evil has reached its fullness. But as your dream points out more than once, there are still places at which God reaches the world, places where the light still shines in spite of the overall darkness. In the same way, Jesus Christ still reaches the world today in spite of the decline of the knowledge of God and the ever increasing growth of sin and evil. The Book of Revelation in the Bible describes things that are similar to your dream. I believe that God gave you your dream as a remarkable gift, showing you the course of human history and its conclusion.
