Happy Dreamy Wednesday!!

I was really pleased with the additional interpretations about last week’s dream, “Leaving the Arena” from A Dreams-Teller (their interpretation can be found on their website in the comments of “A Bad Dream“) and Marcia.  We each had different dreams interpretations, but they overall seemed to have the same basic meaning: conflicts and searching the past or layers of the subconscious to resolve the problem.  Very interesting stuff!

This week’s dream, “Hiding on a Ship”,  is from two weeks ago.  I wrote about it the day after I had the dream, but as I went to submit, I got an error message and lost everything.  I usually save things before I submit- but this happened to be a rare occasion when I did not.  Let this be a lesson to everyone, before you submit something (especially if it’s a LONG post!)- make sure you save it before you hit that button!

We were on a boat, on a tiny, winding stream.  It was scary, there were guards/soldiers everywhere.  Then all of a sudden, I was on a ship, hiding from someone.  The atmosphere was crazy.  Somebody was with me, not sure who. I couldn’t see them and I couldn’t see their face.  It was more like a shadow.  We went into a hidden room.. Something was going on and everybody was going to die if they got caught. The hidden room had a bubble-type glass ceiling area.  We crawled up there and we were able to see everyone walking by.  However, they couldn’t see us because we were up so high.  There was a boy on the other side of the glass, it was Ralphie from A Christmas Story. He was trying to get in the room, so we told him how to sneak in… I think there were a lot of deaths in my dream. I didn’t want to die, so we ran.. I don’t know who was with me.

Keywords and meanings from DreamMoods and Meaning of Dreams dictionaries:

• boat – how you cope with emotions, ability to cope with emotions
• stream(river) – could be flow of life, directions
• guards/soldiers – on guard, protecting something?
• ship – emotional state – depends on how you were feeling on the ship
• hiding – hiding something, withholding information, feeling guilty – could also be needing security and protection
• shadow – a part of yourself that you keep hidden or rejected or something that you have not yet incorporated into your personality
• hidden room – rooms like houses, represent different aspects of your personality
• glass ceiling – mental or spiritual perspective, limits you have on yourself, emotional barrier
• boy – a boy that is significant and important to you
• die/deaths – inner changes – afraid of change., transformations,

Interpretation

You are moving forward in life, sailing (boat) along.  The flow of life is winding (stream) there are some obstacles.  There are some guards giving you trouble, but you’re still able to move past it.  Then all of a sudden, you’re on a ship!  The ship represents your emotional state, which is unstable.  Something has changed in your life, to uproot you from smooth sailing, to emotional chaos.  Along on your travels, is your shadow self.  This may be a part of you that you may have repressed or have not recognized as part of your personality.  You ventured into a room, which can also represent different aspects of your personality.  Since this room was hidden, it may be a part of your personality that you hide from everybody.   Inside this hidden room, is a glass ceiling.  Ceilings represent mental or spiritual limitations that you have on yourself.  Glass can represent emotional barriers.  You mentioned that there was a boy trying to get into this room.  That could mean that the boy is trying to get you to uncover a part of your personality that you keep hidden from everyone else.  You also mentioned being afraid to die.  Death can be interpreted as a change in life, transformation, opening up to new adventures.  Being afraid of death could mean that you are afraid of change, you’re afraid to let go of old habits.
