Dream Interpretation / Dream of my old home, pterodactyl chasing me to eat me, no escape... no help
« on: May 20, 2018, 05:03:41 PM »
Interestingly as I wrote the title for this post, which I did after writing the post, the words as I read them back to myself speak considerably about this dream...
I dreamed I was in the living room of the house I grew up in but haven't lived in for many many years. I was with others but can't remember who they were. A pterodactyl (very different looking in the dream than real ones) was outside the bay window, occasionally tapping on the glass, I wasn't much afraid at first. Then suddenly there was some dinosaur expert sitting in the room on another couch. He said "that's an interesting bird out there" almost as soon as he spoke it starting tapping more and more on the window with its beak. The expert said "if he breaks through that window.. (can't remember exact words after that, but like we are all in trouble). it broke through and got its head stuck but we all knew it was temporary. Suddenly I was a young child, running away from it to hide in a bedroom down the hall (the house was extremely accurate in the dream to how it was in real life). I expected the expert to go get a knife from the kitchen or kill it while it was stuck, but instead, he came to hide in the room with me. I asked why he didn't go to the kitchen to get a knife, I don't recall what he said back. I know other people were there but not sure who, probably my mother, they were all hiding too. I went to another room (what in real life was my parent's room, but in the dream looked different once I entered.). I closed the door and struggled to get a couch up against it, but there was still too much room and I knew it could push through. I was struggling to get a heavy chair up to the couch it to create a tight fit between the furniture and the wall so it couldn't push the furniture and come thru the door. but it got through before I could get the chair there. I was very afraid and wanted to hide under the bed, but was too afraid it would reach me there and I wouldn't have a way out. All the while I sensed my mother was the other person, and was also hiding in the other bedroom where I had been at first, but left feeling unsafe there. (pretty sure this is related to nightmares I had in that room after my sister died that I'd wake screaming from and my mother never came to me, but my dad always did. He isn't in this new dream). The pterodactyl came after me and was about to eat me and I woke up screaming. When it came after me it spoke to me, and I can't remember what exactly it said but threatening words, telling me it would destroy me, eat me.. I recalled the words when I woke but cant now. I know it probably has to do with maybe needing to change something about myself. but also I've had a rough life, my sister died (in that house in the dream, the room I first ran into when the dinosaur came thru the window) when I was 14 and my mother brother and I found her. She was 18. My son was killed by a drunk driver almost 8 years ago (you did a beautiful interpretation of a vital dream I had of him after that, and you were right on!(comment by "Lynne": https://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/dreams-about-dead-people/comment-page-1/#comment-1234). I just hope to figure out what message to take from this dream beyond some of the obvious. Thank you for all you do!
