Well, here’s the latest one...this one is a bit abstract.
I got sent to prison (no idea why). I think this corresponded directly with my husband and I having a conversation about what it must be like to be in prison immediately before I went to bed. It seemed more like a big park they were just dumping criminals in, though. It was co-ed, and there were no bars or uniforms or anything like that...they just threw you in there and locked the gate and then it was everyone for themselves. A bunch of prisoners came up and started trying to beat me up, and I ended up fighting a bunch of them, and after I’d beat so many of them they seemed to respect me and asked if I wanted to join their group. I said no thank you, I wasn’t interested. There was a girl in there who was coming on to me, and I also had to turn her down.
Later I dreamed this lady from my old church had a really huge new years party. She had TONS of awesome food. The whole thing was done up really fancy, but I was distracted with trying to write a book by carving the words into a napkin (???). I was so distracted that there was a huge line by the time that I got to the food and I was worried it would all be gone by the time I got to it. At one point I ran into this older Asian man whom I perceived to be Deepak Chopra (the author). I don’t even know what that guy looks like in real life and I‘ve never read any of his stuff, but we had an interesting conversation and he said he loved me (in a spiritual way, not a romantic way). When I woke up I realized I’ve seen this Asian guy in a lot of my dreams lately, though he takes on various roles in each one. I’m starting to see him as sort of a teacher or sensei.
I also remember a snippet of another dream where I was eating dirt. It was really gross and I could still taste it when I woke up. I’m guessing this could represent my taking in of earth energies, or some connection to the Earth or maybe just my feminine nature. I hope it would be that and not an implication that I’m defiling myself in some way.
The prison dream confuses me a bit. Could it represent a state of mind that is locking down my potential? Thoughts that are not benefiting me or maybe I’m not realizing some obvious truth, or purposefully ignoring something...I tend to have issues with that kind of behavior. I guess all the fighting could represent the constant debating I do in my head, always over-analyzing my own thoughts and scrutinizing parts of myself to see if they are up to par. Maybe this is saying I just need to chill or I’m going to imprison myself with my own thoughts?
The whole party scenario I think it pretty obvious. I constantly get distracted from my main goals by petty side issues and miss out on wisdom and growth that was readily available, then I end up trying to make it all up too fast when I realize I’ve been on the wrong track. I have an issue with being extremely high strung...I think my deeper conscious reminds me of this in my dreams most frequently. I worry and worry and get really upset about things, when in the end there’s no point to it. Worrying about things never makes them better...doing things does. I’m thinking the Asian guy is either a representation of my higher self or maybe a guide who is working with me in my dreams. Whatever the case, I’m grateful for his presence.
