You've got me thinking about a dream I had last week, that was similar in a way.
I can't work out it's meaning for me yet.... I'd be grateful for any insight
‘A small town built in a hole below ground, but open to the sky. Lots and lots of little bricks.
There are 2 types of people the ones down the hole who talk my language. Other group seem to be higher up rather than in the 'hole' town. The 2 groups are not friends and people think the others are unfriendly.
I go to visit the people higher up they are small and gray look like the Oracles on WoW game with big tongues they talk a different language. I stay with them a while trying to learn how to communicate and realise they love to laugh. So I stay and laugh with them.’
It was a really nice dream, just not what it means
@ndy, here is how I would interpret your dream if I had it, though in no way am I suggesting it is the interpretation that would resonate most with you.
Locations in your dreams tend to symbolize your state of mind, so this place you went to is some reflection of your inner perception of reality. This "hole in the ground" seems to be your current view of physical reality...a sensation of being somewhat trapped, but with a window to the higher levels of consciousness. The question is how to make the bridge between the two...how do you get out of the hole and into the sky that is beckoning?
The people "in the hole" I would say reflect your conscious ego, or the state of the ego in general, trying to rationalize everything into a physical reality that can be understood and verified with evidence. This dislike of the "upstairs people" is your ego trying to get you to give up on seeking these higher planes because it is more comfortable in the here and now, where things are easily understood. It realized the potential trauma such discovery could bring, so it fills you with thoughts of how the "world up there" is unpleasant and dangerous and full of potential bad guys.
The "upstairs people" I would say represent the more enlightened state of your higher self- your true essence from which your personality stems. They speak with the language of love, not reason, which is harder to decipher in physical terms, but easily understood by the heart, providing a sense of comfort. This is your higher self and your guidance system reaching out to you, because it knows you are hurting and seeking and reaching for the sky.
The fact that you decided to stay upstairs I would see as a very hopeful sign. You are moving out of the confines that previously kept you chained to a singular state of reality, overcoming the ego and moving into a more aware state of being. At least in my opinion, this is a wonderful thing.
Again, this is only how I would interpret the dream, but I hope it helps.
Thank you, by the way, Phoenix, for suggesting that some of the characters I dream could be inspiration for my books. I've never looked at it that way, though many of the stories I write did originate from dreams I've had.
