I'm sharing this mainly because it stood out from all the short dreams I had last night and because I enjoyed the imagery. It was really beautiful in a way that makes you wish there was some way to record such dreams
definitely would make up an interesting piece of concept art, but I don't think I can do justice to it.
There were gilded cages over high mountain peaks, those you can only see the sky and clouds around. The cages however were not like a traditional one would be, they had only edges of a slightly long vertical cube, made of solid bars of gold. In the first cage there was a man, I could hear him speaking in a foreign language that seemed to be Italian, still I could understand clearly despite not knowing truly the language. He was looking directly to the viewer or camera if it was a movie, even so I didn't notice his face or clothing. Behind his cage there was a second one, that had a woman inside facing the opposite direction. I was seeing everything in third view but somehow I was this woman in the second cage, face and clothing were also not noticed by me, even though I could see them inside the cages.
There was nothing visible that could prevent them from going out of the cage, it wasn't filled of bars, as I said just the edges. Then I noticed a big halo floating above the two cages, I'm not sure it was made of gold or bronze, I thought the color was most likely bronze, it was as if this halo had some invisible force and had somehow power over the cages, a magnetic field, I don't know. It was clear this halo kept the two of them imprisoned, together, close and apart at the same time in gilded cages. I could also see a woman wearing some long light colored dress to the left, watching them and felt that she was the one keeping them there.
The man was asking me to drag the other cages. I was then shown, as the "camera" moved to the right of the scene, more peaks and about 4 gilded cages with greco-roman statues inside and massive gray chains, made of silver perhaps, connecting them to our own cages. He said to me that if we could make those cages fall down the peaks that the chains would be pulled with intense force by the fall and free us.
I had no idea how could I possibly make these cages fall down or even move, being inside a cage just like him. Thinking of it in the literal sense, logic and physics would say that the chains instead of freeing us would drags us together to fall down the high peaks, probably he meant taking us out of the halo control, but still the fall seemed inevitable.
The dream ended and I concluded that I just had to be willingly to make these cages go down, I don't think he would ask me for something I had no power to do. He seemed to be anxious in a way, rooting for freedom, I didn't utter a word, I just watched and tried to understand. But inside the dream I could only think that he was asking for something I was incapable of doing just like himself, apparently was. Clearly he couldn't do it alone and was asking for help. While dreaming I was much less rational and not even lucid and I was way impressed about my surroundings because it looked so beautiful. Probably indicating how distracted I can become and not pay attention for the needs of those around (almost screaming for help) not exactly comfortable but somewhat numb inside a gilded cage.
I'd say the colors/materials being gold, silver and bronze means that the halo is the weakest thing keeping "us" in that situation, but that it requires something stronger to get away from it, the silver chains and the weight of the others gilded cages. Once the halo is gone, one can just walk out the cage and fall down, meaning abandoning the days of having the head in clouds and getting both feet in the ground.
I'd appreciate any other insight you all can offer, though I guess I understand plenty of the meaning of this already. Or am I still missing out something?
