Dream Interpretation / Bat

« on: March 28, 2015, 12:26:27 PM »

Dreamt there was a sleeping bat.  People around me were telling me to kill the bat before it woke up, but I didn't want to.  The bat woke up, and I was afraid.  It began flying and I was chasing it trying to knock it out of the air.

Dream Interpretation / Playing catch

« on: March 18, 2015, 10:44:28 AM »

Dreamt I was playing catch with an old friend of mine.  We were on a field with a team, it appeared we were either warming up or practicing.  His throws were wild and out of control, impossible for me to catch every time and we were both chasing after the ball.  One of the coaches gave us a look of dis-approval but said nothing.  An interesting bit is that we were throwing a softball, not a baseball.  Also of note is that I associate immaturity and emotional unpredictability with this particular friend.  We appeared to be having fun in the dream.

Dream Interpretation / sheep

« on: December 20, 2014, 01:47:53 PM »

Dreamt I was riding with my son.  In a field on the side of the road there was a sheep whose wool was on fire, fairly badly.  I stopped and we ran to it to help put the fire out. I was hitting it with my jacket.  It was burned but ok.

Perhaps the main vein is the spinal column?  As in my energy supply?  I have a habit of being tense and hurried at work.

Thanks so much Tony.
As far as the friend goes, it is good you brought it up, what I associate with him is certainly significant.  He is mainly a business associate (we are both carpenters and in the construction business), and he actually worked for me for a few years.  He has a habit of chasing money and women in situations that are not good for him, and he usually ends up right back where he started.  He is good at heart-but I think he ends up in these situations often because he is looking for an easy way around responsibility.
I have to admit that I have been working toward a career change lately that I envision as a way around responsibility.  Perhaps I should learn from him that in the end there is no way to avoid responsibility.  Considering that our current careers are very similar, I wonder if the lab coats we are wearing show we are trying to be something we aren't?  Like doctors or dentists?

Dream Interpretation / dentist office

« on: November 24, 2014, 12:05:26 PM »

Dreamt I was going to the dentists office with a friend of mine.  He gave me a long white lab coat to wear to make it look like we were doctors/dentists.   He went in and as I was coming behind him, I slipped and fell over.  I was unhurt but embarrassed, and when I looked up I was happy to see that no one saw.  After getting inside they called my name and I went up to the desk.  They gave me a prescription I have never heard of.  On the bottle it said that it "was for calming, but not to be taken by those who are over active with the main vein."  I am assuming the last part was a phallic reference-but this whole dream is confusing for me.

I also dreamt last night that I was speeding in a car, my father was driving it.  We wrecked and I woke up afraid.  I have dreamt of speeding in a car with my father many times before, sometimes we were pulled over by police, but this is the first time we wrecked.

Thank you guys, this all helps tremendously.  I think I am always trying to look for a direction in my waking life that my dreams are trying to send me, when most of the time it is just a glimpse of my inner world.  More being, less doing is probably what I need!

Dream Interpretation / Christ, zombies

« on: November 05, 2014, 11:36:37 AM »

Hello Tony, Anna,
Thank you both for your help.  I think whatever is going on in me is starting to come to a head and its freaking me out a bit.
Last night I dreamt that my wife and I were trying to sell a house.  It was not one we own or have ever owned.  There were rumors that it was haunted, and as such it was difficult to sell.  After having no luck selling it for some time, I went out to explore the backyard.  I found a small graveyard, with an open casket and clear evidence someone or something had escaped.  At that moment I seem to have separated from myself.  It was as if the man standing in the graveyard was no longer me.  I had a bird's eye view of the situation, and could see there was a zombie approaching the man from behind.  Behind the zombie, there was a statue of Jesus on the Cross, looking downward.  I started to call for his help, and the eyes of the statue looked up slightly to see the situation.  I then felt several violent jolts in my lower mid section-it was weird.  Hard to describe, it was kind of like I was in the dream and lying in bed at the same time (which of course I was!).  Then the violent jolts stopped and I woke with a large amount of fear.  The image of the statue is burned into my memory this morning.

After going back to sleep, I had another dream.  There were men in my house operating new motorized equipment of mine.  I didn't know they were going to be using it so I stopped them because I didn't know if there was any oil in it.  Upon checking for oil, there was.  I then went down the hall to talk with my wife about  a dream I had (still dreaming).  As we were talking we were interrupted by our children, so I went outside to urinate.  There was a tile floor being installed outside, and I was thinking that the guys working on the floor needed to hurry to finish before winter came.  Then I urinated-my urine was a dark brown color.  I said to myself, "I guess its time to go to the hospital".  After waking from this dream I was having angst about my physical health but I'm not sure if that's what the dream was referring to or not.

Thanks a bunch guys...

Dream Interpretation / navel

« on: October 27, 2014, 11:10:03 AM »

Dreamt that I had a steel rod, and was shoving it into my navel.  I retracted it, and it had a bunch of black goo all over it.  Then a voice said, "you don't need to see all that yet".
I did not feel disturbed at the time of the dream, but I do now!!

Dream Interpretation / Re: At a party

« on: October 16, 2014, 12:00:44 PM »

Thanks Tony. 
I have explored the chick thing some.  The fact that the woman told me it was not to be released and that it looked like a spider are connected.  Perhaps that there is something devouring my new birth that needs to be brought into check before it can happen.  I think it is the same reason the man in the suit has cancer.

I had another dream last night.  Ants had somehow gotten into the palms of my hands, and were weaving something there, inside, under the skin.  Much like a spider does.  I had to cut my palms open and remove the threads one by one.  It was very painful but I knew it had to be done. 
I think the other world is trying to encourage me to do this work, and while I was making "progress" for a while, I have gotten busy and started neglecting it.  I guess I have to get back on track.

Dream Interpretation / At a party

« on: October 13, 2014, 12:14:50 PM »

Had a bit of a strange dream last night that is leaving me at a bit of a loss.  I was at a party (I think?) and I met a man in a blue suit. Were were talking and he told me he had cancer.  We discussed this briefly but I cannot remember the specific conversation.  What I do remember clearly was that we were eating chips and dip, and both the chips and the dip were also blue.
Someone else at the party had a baby chick (chicken) in a bag and asked that I didn't let it out.  I looked in the bag and saw a yellow chick, but it was crouched and looked much more like a spider than a chicken.
The two things that are resounding in my memory this morning more than anything in the dream are the colors blue and yellow.
Thanks

Dream Interpretation / jump/flying

« on: August 10, 2014, 01:12:59 PM »

I was in a mall and ready to leave.  I knew that I needed to purchase a dress shirt before leaving and went to the store to do so.  The shirt had a black and white checkered pattern on it.   I noticed that a group of guys from my high school, mostly a couple years older than me were following me.  I tried to stay ahead of them.  It was not a group that ever bullied me in real life, but a group I was intimidated by nonetheless.  I made my way outside with the shirt and noticed they were coming closer.   While outside I jumped, and when I jumped I was able to rise to an alarming height, but never felt unsafe.  Easily 100 or 200 feet off the ground.  At the peak of my jump I realized that I would have to come back down and find another way to escape.  Fortunately my wife was starting a helicopter for us to escape in, so I joined here when I came back down.  I remember the guys were getting closer and I was telling her to hurry up with the helicopter.  We flew away.

Obviously there is a fair amount going on here-but the jumping is of specific interest to me.  It is something that shows up often in my dreams and always feels kind of good.  I always jump quite high, and always glide back to the ground safely.  Not always, but most often I am being pursued by someone or something when this happens.

Dream Interpretation / Re: On a boat

« on: August 10, 2014, 01:05:23 PM »

Spent some time yesterday with this.  I was not able to go as deeply as I had hoped but the feeling was this:

I was lonely.  It seemed that no one would pay the attention to me that I needed.  I was covered up because no one wanted to see me, and those who did know of me hoped I would eventually go away.

My impression of this is that the nail represents some part of me I still haven't come to terms with or acknowledged as myself.

Thank you Tony.
As usual you are very helpful.  It very well may be relating to my business life.  I run my own construction business and have for many years.  I have always been hands on and enjoy the work, but my business is growing and if I want it to continue to grow, I see myself having to take more of a managerial role, and I'm not sure I'm up for this, or want to do it. 
I am having a hard time with the loss of control  of becoming a manager.  I don't like to not have my eyes on everything that we do.   But at the same time, I can serve more people, both customers and employees if I do.  While I am still physically in excellent shape, I know I won't be able to keep my current pace forever, so that is something to consider.
Also, yeah, the fingernail thing was weird.  It troubled me in the dream and carried over a bit into waking.
