Train and Legs Nearly Amputated

[Mukaido]

Hi Tony,

I had a really disturbing dream last night - I have done my best to interpret the symbology of it but I have found no relief, only terror and I thought perhaps having your objective input would help.

I dreamt that I got on a train - it was an underground train, looking very similar to the London tube. I did not rush to catch it - I got on with ease and decided to stand by the door, even though there were seats available. The carriage I got on is light and airy, not at all crowded and a very pleasant shade of blue/white. As the doors of the train begin to close, I realize with great horror that my legs for some reason will be caught outside the glass doors and I'm terrified of losing them but there is nothing I can do. The doors close on me with my upper body inside the train and my legs from knees downwards outside. Strange bit - the bit of my legs caught on the outside of the train are wrapped in rolls of plastic paper, similar to plastic bags or wrapping paper. I wait for the moment of amputation as the doors close but it never comes and I see myself riding the train in this terrifying condition without anything untoward happening. The whole time I keep asking myself how this happened - why did I not stand further inside the train or take a seat...

I am terrified of this as you can imagine - I have approached each symbol separately: the train, the symbology of legs as mobility but any help you can shed would really help me.

Thank you.

Mukaido - For a dream like this interpretation is usually only head stuff. Your dream is showing you a terror you have that needs to be met. And honestly, when you meet it face to face it disappears and it turns into understanding.

The underground train is certainly a trip into your unconscious, but it is something that you are fairly well aware of, otherwise it would be dark instead of light and blue. As you say you were not in a hurry to catch the train, also the blue colour gives another clue that in fact you have been trying to explore the inner world/unconscious and this is a result of that.

In fact nothing happened to you so something in your beliefs or convictions has triggered it. There are several thoughts I have about it; either you fear that going any further one the journey into yourself will take away all your personal power - or simply that you have read or believed that this means the loss of you as a person - or that you are avoiding seeing and feeling a personal trauma. Those are simply the ones I can think of but there may be others you may find as and if you persist.

So here are some things you can read to understand a bit more about the possibilities of meeting your dream’s meaning - http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/what-we-need-to-remember-about-us-3/#Victims - http://dreamhawk.com/inner-life/clicking-on/ - http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/acting-on-your-dream/#BeingPerson - http://dreamhawk.com/dream-dictionary/practical-techniques-for-understanding-your-dreams/
