Hey, all. Just had another dream I wanted to share because I feel it was relating similar principles. This one was really long and my memory of it is a bit more disjointed. I'm sure huge clumps of it are missing, but here was the gist of it:
I went on a trip with a bunch of people. Some people I work with were there, along with my husband and some of the characters from the story I am writing, most noteably Gray, a government operative and Rafael, a boy who is obsessed with studying demons and angels. We all went to this huge white house out in the country that was apparently a casino or something, because I think I was gambling, and a huge party was going on. I think some of the people from work wanted to go somewhere else but I got this feeling like it was getting late and we were running out of time. I heard a clock chime ten times and was worried about getting enough sleep to get up early the next morning.
It gets kind of fuzzy for a while, but eventually Gray and Rafael both got kidnapped by some agency, which really upset me. I wound up finding the agency's base and got inside. I saw Gray down in a large room and he grabbed a katana that was hanging on the wall and started swinging it around, trying to escape. The leader of the place was watching him and someone asked him if he was going to do anything to stop Gray's behavior. The man said he liked keeping his prisoners in an open environment so he could study their behavior patterns. He said Gray was free to do whatever he wanted, as long as he realized he would be punished when they finally caught him and brought him back. He also said that he had turned Rafael into something quite different- pulled out the latent power that came with all the darkness inside of him. This man seemed so cold and conniving, but he also seemed really curious, like the whole setup was all just this really interesting TV show and he was honored to have a part in it.
Gets fuzzy again, and the next think I remember I'm walking around with my mom and this cranky old lady in a wheelchair. We decide we need to drive home, and I try to take this shortcut through this little road in the forest, but it has filled in with water since I last drove on it. At that point the cars disappear and we have to walk back, and I just start walking on water like it's nothing. It was really beautiful back in this forest...extremely peaceful. I shouldn't have been speeding through there in a car. I told my mom we would have to stick to the main road, even though it was a longer drive.
So here is what I'm interpreting so far:
1. I've dreamed about the white house before. It tends to represent a higher level of consciousness to me- a locational manifestation of the higher metaphysical planes. I've heard that in dreams other people usually represent parts of your Self, and the fact that there were tons of different people in there could suggest that my recent attempts to unify previously separated aspects of my personality are becoming successful, therefore allowing me a greater appreciation of the One. I suppose the fictional characters in there would show that my Inner Creator is becoming more activated- that even things from my imagination are playing a part in my attaining a whole new, fuller concept of being. The gambling...maybe it represents letting loose and being in the moment? I've never been able to bring myself to gamble...still don't think it's a great idea, but I could see the benefits of not stressing about things so much.
2. The whole government agency thing...I really don't know what to make of that yet. It seems like it had something to do with free will and possibly karma, but the dude who was talking seemed really out of place. This dream otherwise seemed really peaceful and happy and he was so dark. I suppose the fact that it is a male in authority would make him represent some aspect of my unconscious higher self, but not sure...
3. Once again I am getting roads that I can't follow. I am wondering if the main gist of this is that right now I need to be sticking to the "main road" of keeping my heart open at all costs, instead of getting distracted by the really interesting side effects of a continual awakening. I got a sense of urgency in this dream...the whole clock striking ten reminded me of the phrase "the eleventh hour", and I feel like this was signifying that we are very close to being in the 11th hour...the last hour before something new. I got the distinct feeling that the 10:00 thing denotes a small period of time before the full effects of harvest begin to be realized. This is such a small window that it would benefit me most to simply focus on keeping that green ray going...there really isn't time for me to undertake any new side projects. My mission here is widing down to a close...things are really getting down to the wire. This is it. It's practically at the doorstep.
Still, the places I went to on these roads before being stopped were so extremely beautiful. I feel like this might be an indication of things to come...that if I just stay on that main road and make it across the line with my heart open I'll be able to go back and explore these smaller paths. The fact that my vehicle vanished when I got to the water indicates to me that I will have to leave this body before I am able to fully explore these things.
Thanks, all, for listening to me ramble on these things. I love sharing dreams and hearing the dreams of others. It's just so interesting!
By the way, CarlS, I have long had a love of dragons. I've never seen them as the stereotypical evil monsters, but as powerful, magical guardians of wisdom...sort of embodiments of the mythological concepts that have roots in our mind tree. I see them as spirit beings, lacking physical form for the most part because their very essence is like compacted metaphysical energy...a type of avatar. I just love 'em.
