a dream I had recently
    #5757407 - 06/16/06 01:46 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

A boy (in his teens), who I felt was me when experiencing the dream, was kneeling under a large old tree that looked like a cross between a live oak and a cypress with lots of moss blowing in the wind. The tree was on a beach. There was a great storm happening. The sky was black, the wind was howling, the waves were thrashing the beach. The boy was digging in the sand. He had a handful of sand and was watching the sand spill through his fingers. I had a sense of impending doom. I could hear what appeared to be news broadcasts of all of the turmoil in the world. I sensed that I was on the edge of a great and last battlefield. I felt completely alone and awoke sweating and crying. I couldn't get out of bed the whole next day. This was a powerful experience and I'm not sure what to make of the whole thing.

Well, if you're not already, begin a dream journal. Record the images and the emotions as you did here. You may be able to follow a recurrent theme or the dream itself as it continues (which one might confuse or forget if not recorded). Once you have recurrent themes, you can learn to 'amplify' each of the images, which is to collate as many meanings for the images that you can find and you the dreamer needs to be the one to make the correct choice of meaning.

Inner Work by Robert A. Johnson is by far the best book on dream self-analysis for lay people that I know. I've used it to present lectures to graduate students in counseling, and have learned things that even 8 years of Jungian analysis didn't teach me.

I had a dream... [Re: MarkostheGnostic]

it was 40 years ago... it never changed

it's a low pulsating rhythm that increases in timber,
but never in volume.

what is it?

IMO, you are the only person who can interpret your dream.  The symbols in your dream may have significance for someone else, but they will rarely have the same meaning

What I have found helpful in self-analyzing my dreams is to write a list of the main characters or powerful images, then free-write my associations with each one.

In your case, you would write:

teenage boy
live oak
cypress
moss
storm
fingers
news broadcast
battlefield

Then set a timer for 3-5 minutes, quickly write down everything that comes to mind when you picture the boy.  Don't allow your internal editor to enter into the writing, just pour it out onto the page as the thoughts enter your mind.

Once you have done this for each of the words on your list, you can read them over & consider their interactions with one another.  The boy is on the beach, in the storm, holding the sand, etc...  Often the images will tell a story once you have "expanded" them with free-writing.

Enjoy!  :heart:

Yes, you have to rely on yourself when it comes to personal meaning. We can't do everything for you. :wink:

From my limited perspective on the matter, dreams are expressions of the subconscious mind, its the subconscious mind's method of programming. The subconscious mind plays an essential role in the day-to-day activities we involve ourselves with, even if, from the perpsective of the conscious mind, it is the thinking that is running the show.

The conscious mind, no doubt, is fascinated with the dreams that it catches a glimpse of, and naturally wishes to analyze it in order to establish an identity for it. That's what the mind is about - identity. The consciousness is that which observes and experiences, and it seems to have established a relationship with the mind, centering within it in order for the consciousness to feel as though it has an identity. :lol:

Restore balance by centering one's awareness in one's being. Then one will intuitively understand one's dreams (or, hell, actively create them, if you are interested in lucid dreaming :smirk:), instead of having an abstract process try to establish identity for something that it cannot represent or relate to. :grin:

its kinda like laying brick; not that i know the slightest abt cement and mortar. I start with a foundation and run each course in its entirety, you start at the bottom and move to the top. As you progress you start to see a pattern and waht it will look like when its done.

some will see...

Thanks, y'all. I asked my therapist what he thought about this and he told me, first off, that he doesn't know a lot about dream interpretation but that he was told that many times when we see ourselves in a dream the "I" we see is really not a representation of ourselves. He told me that one way to look at the dream would be that the boy was a representation of all the people in my life who love and care for me. I am the storm and commotion.

I don't know. I think there may be something to that. As I've thought more about it, I've come to believe that the storm in fact was a representation of me or of all the shit that I create in my world. I think the tree with the boy underneath may represent Christ. I remember stories of Christ in the bible as he patiently waited and thought, he would draw in the sand. Anyhow, dreams are cool. Thanks for everyone's input.
