Bed
There are many associations you might have with bed – rest, sleep, unconsciousness, sexual pleasure, relationship, dreams, escape from the world into sleep. Try to define what feelings or attitudes are involved with the bed, and ask yourself where they apply to your waking life.
A bed is the place you sleep, so in a spiritual sense might be depicting your sleeping self, the parts of you still unconscious and not awake to who you really are and the issues needing attention in your life.
Other associations we might make are to do with sickness as when confined to bed, or the torture of insomnia and worries.
High Bed: Possibly relates to feeling either secure from things like mice on the floor, or anxiety about being high up. Height often links with either of these, or depicts a commanding position.
Bunk Bed: May link with childhood or sharing ones space. I guess if you slept in a bunk bed you will have many personal associations too.

Hey I had such a wierd dream and i dont even know how to interpret it. Please take a moment to read it lol Here it is:
Ok in my dream, I was in my room, in my bed. it was dark, like the middle of the night. I then got out of my bed and walked out. Then the sun came up and it became day time. Then something occured to me that i was dreaming, so i tried waking myself up. I pinched myself, then BAM, im back in my bed. It was a dream in a dream. This same thing kept happening to me for so many times.. And I was trying to get out of the dreams. Like I went on the street and was asking people to help me and nobody was listening or talking back. In my dream I felt so scared and sad at the same time. Then I remember a man dressed in a red hoodie went over to my body and started inhaling air. While he was doing that, some black ghost thingy was coming out of me. You know the dementors in Harry Potter who suck the happiness out of you? Well one of them were inside me. As soon as it came out, I finally woke up.
I know this sounds similiar to the movie Inception, but I have not watched that movie in a loooong time. What do you think this dream means?
Mohammed – Of course it can lead to you thinking of something possessing you. Film tend to capitalise on this, but my own delving within have led me to an different view.
Here is something that explains bringing up of the unconscious fears of illness, or attitudes. These are not simply ideas or feelings as many believe, but are inextricably woven into the structure and cells of our body. So bringing them out of the body is like tearing them out from the fabric of our intellect, emotions, and body, a growth or structure that is built into them. These may even be apparent to our imagination as dark frightening shapes or creatures that have been living in our being like parasites. One man in class during the vowel sounds (chanting) I was making said, “As you began the sounds I had the terrifying sensation that you were calling a dark shape out of my body.” Questioning him afterwards I discovered that he had a fear of weakness for that part of his body, and the “dark shape” was a representation or embodiment of his fear.
Here is explanation of one I experienced:
I turned to look, still terribly frightened; so much so it was difficult to see clearly what was coming into the room. It seemed to be a dark shape at one point.
I worked on the dream a couple of times and the first time touched a pain that was so strong I couldn’t get it out except for deep sobbing. The second time I worked on it with John I went right back into the same pain, but this time gradually moved into insight and change. It led to me crying out with deep emotion – “I don’t want you! I don’t want you.”
I eventually realised I was saying this to my mother. It was all around the death of my grandmother. At her death I deeply rejected my mother. I don’t suppose I ever really accepted her as I had my grandmother. The pain was still so strong in my body. I have carried it all those years. It is obviously part of what is happening in my life at the moment, but I am not clear about how it is effecting things I am doing – except that I feel enormous difficulty with loneliness or anything about being left or being left alone. The dream was like a messenger showing me the awful dark shape I carried – the pain – that has haunted this building – my body – all my life.
So whatever came out of you it has left you cleaner than before, and if you offer your being to the healing influence it will keep you clean.
