Dream Interpretation / Going Home
« on: December 28, 2015, 02:33:57 PM »
Hello 
After milling about the site for a while, I was able to pick up some meanings to the key elements of my latest dream, but how it all fits together is a bit cloudy to me, so I was hoping for a little more insight if it isn't too much trouble.
I was traveling with my mother, her husband and my 12 year old daughter. I got the sense that we were all running from something, but I don't know what. Also, my son was not with us and that is odd. We wound up at a house that was supposed to be my childhood home. By that I mean that I knew it to be the home I grew up in, but nothing about it was familiar at all. I actually grew up in a Southern California suburb, but this house was a trailer home in the woods completely overgrown with ivy and surrounded by tall trees. The furniture was old and musty. I was home but I wasn't. Just as I was alone, but I wasn't.
Upon entering the house, it was clear there was no roof at all. My mother and her husband settled in the living room and my daughter went into a back bedroom to lay down. That's when a tree began to fall above me. As it fell, I watched in horror, frozen in place. It was stopped by the top of the wall (where it should have met the ceiling that was absent), but the branches brushed my cheek and caught in my hair. I turned to my mom and her husband to tell them what just happened and they didn't move. They seemed content together on the couch. Looking up, I saw all of the trees begin to fall toward the house and I knew surely they would be hit, but I had to run the other way as trees began to crash into the house between us. I yelled for them to take cover as I dashed down the hall to where my daughter was and jumped on top of her to shield her.
I realize this is rather tame. I've had much more disorienting and seemingly terrifying dreams, but this one has stuck with me and really shook me. It leaves me with a feeling that I must do *something* and *now*... I just can't decide quite what needs done.
