Dream Interpretations

[Rodney]

Hi Rodney, your dream was:

I'm riding on a subway that has just reached a stop. At I wait for the subway to continue, the driver announces that there will be major delays. Because I'm going only one more stop, I decide to walk to that stop. For some reason, however, there is a choice between walking to that stop underground or above ground. I hesitate, then decide to walk to it underground.

Translation A:

The subway represents the collective consciousness, the ideals and perspectives that drive us all as a collective. Like public transport, it is the motion and direction that is shared. Consider, therefore, in what ways it could represent ideas that are not your own. The subway stops are the goals and destinations that these ideas have focus on. They are set outcomes, such as world peace etc.

Knowing that your stop is just one more further, means you wish to take the journey itself further. You may have a "further" destination or goal than the collective, in some sense. Where the driver announces there will be major delays, the goal is not attainable within culture or society yet it must be attained as an individual goal.

Deciding to walk to the next stop, reflects circumstances. You realize you do not have the power to personally make it happen without the help or support of others and structures around you. Your choice of going above or below ground represents the choice to do it consciously or unconsciously. Alternatively, you may have to choose whether to reveal to yourself and others what your destination is, or to keep it hidden and private.

Choosing the underground passage means you have chosen to do it from the subconscious, choosing to keep it submerged and hidden at this point. The goal will still be attained but not in a public way.


(Please pause and re-read your dream again.)
Translation B:

To dream you are riding on the subway, means the dream will reflect progress in life from a subconscious point of view. Subway stops symbolize setbacks that must be tolerated, negotiated, and learned from, in order to progress as an individual.

The major delays reaching the next stop represent realization that some mode of mentality has served its use and come to an end, or that the mentality is no longer the appropriate approach to making progress in this pursuit.

Your stop being one stop away is the expectation that a resolution is nearing. You may find, instead, that a new chapter begins. Deciding to walk to the next stop represents the decision to move forward in spite of confusion or struggles.

The choice of walking above or below ground represents a choice between avoiding "deeper delvings", or exploring them. Choosing the underground passage shows your willingness to dive deeper into unawareness. Consider if it simultaneously seems like "the low road", or illegitimate in some way.

(Please pause, and choose which translation is correct, insightful, and/or accurate in the poll. You may refrain from voting, if neither or both seem correct, insightful, and/or accurate.)

Hi Julia,

At this point, it's not possible for me to say that either translation is correct, accurate, or insightful because it is unclear to me what the dream relates to. Two comments: 1) I was puzzled about the final sentence of Translation A: "The goal will still be attained but not in a public way." That seems to assume knowledge about the future. Or are predictions (at least in part) what your potential challenge is about? 2) I was also puzzled by the next-to-last sentence from Translation B: "Choosing the underground passage shows your willingness to dive deeper into unawareness." Was the last word supposed to be "awareness" rather than "unawareness"?

For the time being, I'm not going to vote, but may do so in a few days if events indicate that one translation has proven correct, insightful, and/or accurate.

Regards,

Rodney

1) A recent dream is younger than 60 days. Recurring dreams, so long as they continue into the present, are considered recent.

This dream is not younger than 60 days, but it is part of a series that has been on-going for years. It is not the first or the last in the series. I'm interested in seeing if that will be a challenge to you, or if you can somehow fit it into the series.

In my dream I approached a huge black and white sphere...the surface was swirling like a soap-bubble...swirling black and white. The backdrop all around was deep black void. It's like the sphere was floating in "nothingness".

I had the sensation of sneaking into it. Like a ninja action hero infiltrating a heavily guarded fortification. I felt I had to get into the sphere and steal something from a tyrant/wizard. I was trying not to get caught as I worked my way in. It seemed to take forever sneaking in, but it went by in a rapid series of images. I was working my way in, and at the final obstacle I was assisted inside the sphere by a female. She seemed to want to betray the tyrant/wizard who had taken up residence in the sphere. She wanted me to kill the tyrant/wizard and stay there as the new king. I told her I couldn't do that, because I can't stay, but that I would help and then everything would be ok.

I made it inside, and the dreamscape took on the form of a large amphitheater. In the center was a desk, which belonged to the tyrant/king. There were other people around, some inhuman sort of like mythological creatures, and they were sort of like allies/helpers. They were glad to see me, and they wanted me to stay. I had to keep telling them I can't stay long.

I made my way to the desk. I broke into it, and found a little bag of white rocks. A little yellow tube was with it. I stole them. In other drawer I found a plant substance. I took that too.

In the center draw were newspaper clippings. I rummaged through them, they seemed harmful and ominous so I scattered them. Then one of my allies told me, "they've been watching you, since the wedding" as if in reference to the clippings. But I wasn't sure. I couldn't read any of it clearly. But a chill kind of went down my spine.

"Wedding?" I said. "I'm not... married?" After waking I realized this was a reference to an earlier dream.

Then something caught my attention. The tyrant/wizard was coming. I told the female, the one that helped me in, that I was going to hide up the stairs, and not to tell the tyrant where I was hiding. I ran up, but stopped before I got to the top. The stairs led up to a restaurant, and everyone was in white tuxedos and eating. I got the feeling that I must not go up that far. At the top of the stairs was a bus-boy, or a maitre d'...in any event he was dressed in white also but he wasn't eating with everyone else. I didn't recognize him. He was watching me closely.

Then, I turned and there was the tyrant/wizard coming up the stairs after me. And the female who helped me earlier was with him. She says, "Sorry, I told him where you are..." and she kind of smirks at me. Then the tyrant/wizard sort of paralyzed me, I couldn't move. He was in my face, and he was pissed.

But the female reached around him and stabbed me in the chest with a needle. The sharp pain, which I remember quite vividly, seemed to break the paralysis. I could move and so I rushed between them and back down the stairs and into the amphitheater.

Then all of a sudden I had one of my old childhood toys in my hands...a ray-gun. The tyrant/wizard followed me, and seemed to try again with a paralysis spell. I was able to fight it off somehow. He had one eye that was off color, and I aimed at it and fired. The beam couldn't connect. It should have worked, I felt, but he had some sort of protective shield. The beam couldn't reach him. So I tackled him football style and jammed my ray-gun up his bum-hole and fired.

He screamed and flayed around, and after a minute or two of this he died. Then instead of leaving a body he left a blank mannequin type-thing which fell apart into pieces.

Then the female who assisted me in and then betrayed me to the tyrant/wizard tried to get away. I yelled "hold it!" and she froze and looked at me. One of her eyes was off-color as well, and I fired at it. The beam from my gun formed a circle of red laser-light around her eye, and the color of her eye seemed to go back to normal and then she collapsed.

Then I heard the word "suicide" echo in the theater, and saw some big fat ugly near-naked guy run for a door, like he was trying to escape me. I yelled to my allies, "stop him! there will be no suicide!" They stopped him and restrained him, at least that's the impression I got.

Then I went through the other drawers in the desk, and I had to smash some of them open. I ordered my allies/helpers to look around the area more. Then I went somewhere...not sure where...and when I came back they had found a safe hidden in the wall. I said "damn we need a safe-cracker..." and that's exactly when one came in.

He said to my allies, "ah, good you removed the plants around the wall" and proceeded to crack the safe. I looked around the walls, for other safes behind paintings and posters, and one of my allies tried to warn me about the plants above but too late. One of the plants squirted green stuff on me. My allies laughed and pointed me to a sink which was right there. I washed up, laughing about how I should have known better somehow.

Then, the safe was open. Inside was music by Bach, and some books. I said "Bach?" I've never been a big fan of classical music. But the music seemed harmless, so that I let stay. There were books in there, and my allies were going through them and tossing them around. Having a ball. None of them looked familiar, and I couldn't make out any titles. But I got the impression they weren't good...they were ominous.

Then, a very tall woman with long black hair showed up. She was incredibly beautiful, and familiar. She asked me if I liked my adventure. I said something affirmative and then proceeded to flirt shamelessly with her. She smiled. It was like we were on intimate terms. Some sort of road or path or something seemed to materialize under her feet, and we walked out of the amphitheater.

Then I woke up.

Hi Cainkane1, this was your dream:

"I dreampt I was in a house across from a crypt. The house and the crypt are both in a cemetary which actually exists in real life. I was in the house but had no business being in there. A corpse came to the door of the crypt and saw me looking out from a window in the house. The corpse started running toward the house very unzombielike and I knew I couldn't outrun him. Never actually been in the house and I don't know anybody in the crypt."

Translation A:

To be in a house means to be somewhere you feel safe. Having the house across from the crypt means that you feel something heavy or foreboding, perhaps a big decision, is close at hand. You also say you have no business being in the house so you may feel like you are using someone elses safe haven to protect yourself from some risk. Having the corpse see you looking out from a window means that you recognize there is a very real risk and feeling unsure of your ability to run means you are doubting your ability to succeed. If you are planning to take a large calculated risk make sure the friends and family you are counting on to pick you up if things happen to turn sour know that they should be there for you. Don't wait until you need their help to spring it on them.


(Please pause, and re-read your dream.)


Translation B:

The house represents your identity. Because it wasn't your real house it could symbolize facts about yourself that are eerie and unfamiliar. The crypt symbolizes the bunker of all your dead dreams, severed connections, and displaced aspects and character traits. Your mind has become a graveyard of axed potentials. Since you had no business being in the house it means your current identity is not truly your own. It may help you to stop what you are doing and reflect on who you really are. Windows are a supernatural view of things you are not directly connected to, so what you see is important. The corpse is a recently disconnected notion, another possibility sent to the grave. When the corpse runs to the house it means you will not be able to maintain a severance for long. The severed thing will come back to haunt you. If you sensed there were people in the crypt, they reflect all the activity that ought to be alive in yourself.

Hi bookitty, this was your dream:


Call it early 80’s zombie apocalypse. The usual people running, screaming. Slow zombies lurching, biting chewing. Not so much blood.

Except they are changing. Eating brains like a planarian worms. The lurching is a little less, some of them have gotten crutches to help with flesh decay. Me and my group of wacky teen friends noticing. They are getting smarter.

Chase, fleeing, trying to out think but they get smarter with every person they eat. Concerns about going by a prison, will they get more criminal. Who cares! They’re zombies, right? Still, better to avoid Cal-Tech. Head for Wal-mart.

Get to a bay, looks like Maine. Sink all the boats but one. Use it to row out to some 18th century galleon, 3 tall masts. Still close to shore but deep currents, zombies aren’t dense enough to walk to us, swept away.

Later. Zombies pace the shore, hungry. The leader has a megaphone. Zombies have comic book philosophical argument about “the greater good” Like they are the new super humans so they deserve to eat our brains. Can we come to shore now? okthnx! I counter with people breeding for food. They need us to escape. No go, they’re hungry now. So are we.

Translation A:
Zombies actually suggests the desire to be more independent. You may feel trapped, controlled, and overwhelmed. These people screaming and being eaten show you are not able to realize something important. Things block your realization. You may want to be independent or make a positive difference to people. You may also want to consider if you are being self-dishonest, by covering up problems or something important with excuses.

The changes in the zombies reflect the desire to be independent and stray from the "pack". You may want to be different from the dominant people. You are not interested in the mainstream, popular people.

Chases (in general) show the dreamer is trying to avoid something, likely thoughts. You may be trying cover up your own feeling of wanting to be different and individual, to yourself. You may feel insecure. The ideas you have of where to flee are literally, going to the "stupidest" area. Following the other insecure people (walmart, symbolically) is perused, but you ultimately do not go with the place that seems bad even to the (walmart) people, (prison; imprisoning).

The bay represents reflection. You should, if you haven't already (as the previous parts were from your past) take a good look at yourself and understand what you really want to do, and stay away from all the mainstream things that you don't really want.

All the ships sinking but one, show you have left the mainstream things behind and now see how destructive being insecure is. The old galleon with masts meaning you are enjoying the satisfying feeling of just being herself, or having new friends but old personalities. The deep currents that will sweep zombies away if they try to cross are emotional security. You are not going to let people make you who you don't want to be anymore.

The zombies pacing the shore are popular people noticing your change and self-confidence and not wanting to accept it. Their hunger reflects how they want to take you back to being mainstream. The megaphone shows what unnecessary lengths they will go through to do so, making too big of a deal about it.

The meaning of the comic book, bearing a philosophical argument about "the greater good" is that popular people (zombies) thinking what they're doing is right (as if it's more right for the zombies to eat the normal people even though normal people are limited anyway). The zombies becoming superhuman, is a pun on "super(ficial)human". They won't really be satisfied because they too, are insecure (the idea that if they eat everyone, they will still be hungry later).

Negotiating to become "breeding stock", represents using the other people to remain zombies (to remain popular by making sure they are still mainstream). The zombies/popular people are insecure and need you back. You and your friends friends just as equally feel the opposite.


(Please pause, and re-read your dream.)

Translation B:

Zombies highlight an imbalance. Some tendency in yourself or in an authority is emotionless, monotonous, and a phony sense of living. The people screaming and being eaten show your "true life" and activity is being fed to the one all-consuming focus or mentality. You might want to look at what you're doing to yourself (or what an authority is doing to you) from the light your dreams casting it in.

The changes in the zombies give you a big hint where the zombification lies in your life. Your drive to learn (or someone's push to live through you) is devouring and destructive to your true well-being. You might need to diversify your personal ambitions.

Chases suggest the dreamer is remaining deliberately unaware of some issue or situation. The dreamer should turn around and confront what is chasing them, rather than fleeing from one place to the next. Prison, in particular, is the looming threat that the mentality could be exacerbated in future. Wal-Mart symbolizes cheapness and mediocrity. Thus, know that from your subconsciousness's view, securing some mediocrity is a lesser evil to the heights of more life-consuming terror (Cal-Tech). Such dialogue in the subconscious is the beginning of the Jungian shadow, the enemy and saboteur who is none other than oneself.

A bay represents the threshold between the known areas of the psyche and the unexplored areas. Water represents emotion and intuition. The single ship means the only way to reach this area is by one's emotional-intuitive sense. If you never employ this consciously, it makes for an area of safety in your psyche. The lack of employ is reflected in how neglected and old the galleon is.

The deep, deadly currents suggests you deeply mistrust your emotional realms, fearing they will sweep you away and you will lose control. The zombies pacing the shore, hungry show the mentality is finding no more energy to feed its focus.

The megaphone is the expounding of an authoritative will and ego. The comic book with a philosophical argument about "the greater good" symbolizes your own reasoning, that what is being done is for "the greater good". Because it is on a comicbook, you are being juvenile, fantastic, and lack credibility. The zombies becoming superhuman mean the devouring ego is trumped up with ideas of supremacy.

In time, allowing all your energy and ambition to be consumed will feel like the wrong road. You may find you have missed out on life. Your last remnants of true life can only hope you will "save them" for energy later, but such is your inner consumption that you wish to burn out all possibilities except the one pursuit. The people feeling equally hungry, show these character traits and possibilities yearn to manifest and be experienced.

Hi bookitty, this was your dream:


<snip to avoid scrolling cramps>

I won't be voting for either of these. Both of them have some areas that could be applicable but only in the general way of a horoscope or I-Ching.

Neither of the interpretations touch on my larger everyday concerns or general personality. Nor do they reflect anything that was going on in the days before the dream.

I will add that when I am very busy and not getting enough sleep, I tend to dream zombie movies with complicated plots and characters (although rife with dream logic). My theory is that I am stressed enough during the day, so my subconscious is merely entertaining me in my sleep.

The zombie film genre is one of my favorites and even when awake I enjoy playing with different scenarios. This dream was no different. "Eating brains and getting smarter" was the variation on the theme and naturally led to scene where the zombies would be (or think they were) so smart that they would try to philosophically argue their cause.

Still, yours are both interesting takes.

Now will you tell us where the paranormal comes in?

 

[River]

I once had a fairly intense dream that I woke up remembering a song I was playing on the guitar in the dream. I recorded the idea shortly after. Ever hear of anyone writing a song in a dream before? I thought it was pretty cool.

 

[Fnord]

I used to do dream interpretations. It was most profitable when (a) I told them a paraphrased version of the concerns and events in their lives that they had already told me, and (b) I filled in the rest with things they expected or wanted to hear.

Interpreting the symbolism was easy. Sex, fear, and wish-fulfilment were the main topics ... Sigmund Freud would've been proud!

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

I need more criteria here. If I post a dream and you (Julia) provide an assessment of said dream, what exactly am I supposed to judge a or b on?

 

[Cavemonster]

I once had a fairly intense dream that I woke up remembering a song I was playing on the guitar in the dream. I recorded the idea shortly after. Ever hear of anyone writing a song in a dream before? I thought it was pretty cool.

My favorite thing (happens fairly often actually) is when someone else in my dream has a great idea, and I spend most of the dream just being jealous of them, then I wake up and realize it's actually my idea!

Although 9 times out of 10 I also realize that it isn't a particularly interesting idea in the real world anyway

 

[sg1985]

I look up dream interpretations every so often out of curiosity. I'm up for this. I had this dream last night:

I was at someone's house and they had an abandoned cat. The owner asked me if I wanted to adopt him. Which, of course, I did. He was so cute and sweet and I just adored him. I was really pleased when the house's owner told me that he was a boy because I have a male cat at home and I thought they would be great friends. I remember thinking that I shouldn't tell my parents that I'm getting another cat in my new apartment or they're likely to kill me. But I was so determined to adopt the new cat and give him a good home.

 

[Fnord]

I need more criteria here. If I post a dream and you (Julia) provide an assessment of said dream, what exactly am I supposed to judge a or b on?

If I may be so bold; let me do an interpretation as well. This way, you know you'll get at least one interpretation that is unbiased insofar as trying to 'prove' any validity of psychic ability. I know that the principles of dream interpretation mostly involve 'cold' or 'warm' reading methods, a little bit of lay psychology, and basic awareness of popular meanings attributed to dream symbols.

But it's still fun ... I imagine Mr. Randi still gets some joy out of performing stage 'magic' even though he knows that it's just sleight-of-hand.

Whaddaya think?

 

[Ron_Tomkins]

Last night I had two nightmares. Two bad dreams with cats in them. The first one, my mother, some friends and I were trying to ruun away from these bugs: These worms, scorpions, centipedes, cockroaches, etc.... and we were with two or more cats and I remember being in terror at the idea of them being poisoned by some of these vermin.

The second dream, I was with a friend, outside of her house (or at least it looked a lot like her house) and this poor street cat came to me. He was missing one leg and he had been bitten in several parts of his body. He was in really really bad shape. I tried to pet him a little but then I had to go into the house and I knew I couldn't bring him with me. That one was the saddest.

 

[John Jones]

I have had the same recurring dream for years. I expect it's fairly common becasue I've seen it used as a gag in a movie.

I'm 2 or 3 credits away from college graduation. It's the final exam day, and I've skipped every class all semester. I know I'm going to flunk the course, and not graduate.

 

[borealys]

Although 9 times out of 10 I also realize that it isn't a particularly interesting idea in the real world anyway

Aaugh, I hate that. I had a dream once where I wrote a ravishingly beautiful story, one that had the most lovely opening I'd ever seen. When I woke up, I instinctively grabbed for the nearest paper and pen, because I just had to write it down.

In the waking world, it was the most trite, nonsensical thing I've ever written. Which, given that I wrote poetry as a teenager, is saying something.

I have had the same recurring dream for years. I expect it's fairly common becasue I've seen it used as a gag in a movie.

I'm 2 or 3 credits away from college graduation. It's the final exam day, and I've skipped every class all semester. I know I'm going to flunk the course, and not graduate.

Okay, the one I was going to post is something like that.

Here goes:

I am back in high school, along with several of my friends (including some I didn't actually go to high school with). My course schedule, however, is more like my undergrad university schedule, with classes at odd times and big gaps in my day.

I'm at my parents' house, which is right around the corner from the school. I'm hanging around at home, not doing much, when I suddenly realize that I'm supposed to be in class. I grab my stuff and run to the school, only to realize when I get there that I have no idea what room the class is in, because, despite it being almost the end of the semester, I haven't yet made it to that particular class even once. After running around the school for a while, I finally get to the classroom, where the lesson is well underway. I haven't cracked the book. I have no idea what the teacher is talking about, except that it's something mathematical and very complex.

Then the teacher announces that he'll be collecting the semester's course work at the next class. I haven't done it. I haven't got a clue how to do it. As I'm leaving the room in a state of total panic, I run into one of my friends in the hall, and suddenly realize that she graduated from high school ten years ago, and so did I. Panic ceases.

Then I wake up.

This is the most recent variation of a recurring dream I've been having for about a year now. It usually takes place at my high school (though once it was my elementary school), and it's always the same friend whose appearance prompts me to realize the whole thing makes no sense -- if she doesn't make an appearance, I don't ever figure it out. The class is usually, but not always, an advanced math class, though it isn't generally the hardest course in my schedule. Sometimes the panic is about an assignment I can't possibly have ready in time, sometimes it's an upcoming final exam. The stakes are never high. The class in question is always one of many, not one I need to get into my college program of choice, and failing it is not going to cost me my year, or be anything but an ugly blotch on my transcript. I always panic anyway.

This series of dreams is one of my less cryptic ones, and most of it I was able to figure out in the context of my life. I'll be interested to see how much you can deduce of what triggered it.

 

[VisionFromFeeling]

VisionFromFeeling's dream

Julia Finley, I used to have a recurring dream where I start out far inland and leave the house and begin walking on my own several miles toward the shore, passing different types of natural landscape, forests, rivers, to the beach. I would then go into the sea and under the water and far into the middle of the ocean, and as I'm spending more time in the sea my body gradually transforms into a mermaid. At the beginning it is very difficult, to not drown or die from the cold, but gradually every aspect adapts and toward the end of the dream I am merged with the sea, with the vastness and the depth and the dark and the endless and timeless, that is far away from anything small that we humans try to make home.

Those dreams are made from strong emotions, the long walk to get to the shore and the longing to reach the sea, and the modification and merging with something greater.

I had this dream so many times and it meant so much to me that I started reading about dream interpretation. I don't mind you and another person giving me your interpretations of it. But so that I don't forget, I'll give you what my interpretation was.

One of the first, and very best, books I found was by Ann Faraday. I read some Freud but I would suggest avoiding that. He basically says that all we dream about is related to sex, and that simply isn't true. It didn't resonate with me as an answer, and there is so much more to the human mind. I then found a huge 1000 page book by Jung, which is brilliant. He basically teaches that each individual has to find the meaning of each symbol in a dream for themselves.

For instance, if my mother dreams about horses, it is a nightmare. Because she is scared of horses. When I dream of horses, they are galloping and free in large open fields, symbolising the feeling of freedom and of having no boundaries. That is why a simple translation of symbols will never work. Each thing means something different to each person.

And that is also why I think both you and your friend will fail at interpreting my dream or the dreams that others have.

After learning from Jung and Faraday how you take each symbol at a time and give it a voice and see what it means to you, you piece together the meaning of a dream and find the emotions that are acted out in pictures.

If you want a chance at an honest attempt at your dream interpretation skill, do not click on the spoiler until you have interpreted my dream by yourselves first!

You couldn't possibly know what the sea means to me. I would imagine that to most people, this dream that I had would be scary, would indicate being far from your safe home and all alone and drowning, but to me it isn't like that.

I then found out that to me this dream means finding myself and my consciousness and subconscious, something we all go through in our youth, which is when I had that dream. The ocean is my mind, soul, and the dream involves moving away from the world around you to instead go within yourself to find the you that is independent of the world around you or even your own body, and to simply feel who you are and find yourself. When I interpreted the dream that way, it felt right to me. And as soon as I had, the dreams stopped occurring.

What would you think it was?

I also don't think that dream interpretation qualifies as a paranormal claim. If dream interpretation works, it probably does not involve anything paranormal, but a skill in psychology perhaps. Dreams are governed by psychology which is a science, and understanding of that science is not paranormal, it is science.

 

[Julia Finley]

This dream is not younger than 60 days, but it is part of a series that has been on-going for years. It is not the first or the last in the series. I'm interested in seeing if that will be a challenge to you, or if you can somehow fit it into the series....

Hi Limbo,

To be honest it's a bit too long for my droogs, so not fitting for this test, but if you would like me to interpret it anyway you can submit it through somethingspoke.com. Hope this helps.

 

[Julia Finley]

Still, yours are both interesting takes.

Now will you tell us where the paranormal comes in?

That's too bad. Good luck.

Hi Limbo,

You're charging for this? Although there are too few examples on this thread to make a judgment, the initial results are not promising. Both interpretations I received sounded like sidewalk psychology with a dash of self-help. A fun little diversion on the forum but had I been silly enough to pay for it, "fun" would be the wrong adjective.

Especially since it is nearly impossible to get a refund through Paypal for a service.
