Subject: dream symbols...or just mad???

guest

13:50 04/11/2001 

The scene is a surreal lakeside with fir trees and a pale blue sky with three moons.

One of the fir trees starts to run. It is a Christmas tree. It dive rolls through a window and turns into a wooden box. I break the box and it becomes part of me.

I look in the lake and there is a roll of plastic like a giant glad wrap roll. It is evil. There is a lobster that jumps out and runs to a grassy area. It is evil too. It is covered with Langoustines (prawn like creatures).

When I arrive the langoustines scurry off but the lobster talks to me and pretends to be innocent. But I don't trust it. Since it arrived strange things have happened. People have changed!

The three moons fall from the sky. They are now life savers.

another odd ream...but this one would impress Salvadore Dali

I can't remember alot of the dream story but the symbols I won't and can't forget...they make me laugh.

The scene is a sureal lake side with fir trees and a pale blue sky with three moons. One of the fir trees starts to run...it is a chriastmas tree and it dive rolls through a window and turnsinto a wooden box...I break the box and it bwecomes part of me.

I look in the lake and there is a roll of plastic (like a giant glad wrap roll) It is evil.....there is a lobster that jumbs out and runs to a grassy area...itis eveil too.It is covered with LAngustines (prawn like creatures) when I arrive the langustines scurry off but the lobster talks to me and pretends to be inocent...but I don't trust it...since its arrived strange things have happened...people have changed!

The thjree moons fall from the sky...they are now life savers

Hi chris,

The feeling I get is that there is something about the "circle of life" in it. Trees are cut down for wood and vegetation breaks down into the nutrients that we get when we eat food that has been grown from it. Since plastics have arrived on the scene, they have changed how things happen in the natural environment.

Salvadore Dali -> Salvation, "life savers" - does this ring a bell for you?

Hi Chris - don't believe you are "mad" for one second but "mad" is also an expression for being angry ......what have you come up with???

Chris

11:22 06/11/2001 

Funny you should say that..... I ahve been a bit "mad"with my life I guess......just waiting for my break...I know its coming but I can't stand waiting for it much more. I really have no idea about the dream othere than The fir tree is the rapidly aproaching Christmas......runnning towards me but still avoiding me (once again I will be alone at Christmas...who knows where?) The shell fish could have somthing to do witrh work as I serve them at a reasteraunt. The Moon....usually represents magic and witchcraft and inutuition for me.....looking at that I could say that intuition and magic may be my life savers in 3 days or months...they also fell into the water wich was a placid lake.... which could represent my emotions but I seem to think they represent the still waters of my unconcious...don't know why Actually in the dream I remember thinking the Lobster was evil...it was an intuitive feeling....baybe this is a warning to heed my intuition .....could even be a personal kick to myself to get me to notice my dreams more....I certainly did pay attention to this one...

Lets see what happens

Hmmm... by fir tree - do you mean pine tree - if so - pines to my way of thinking represent cleansing. Something perhaps you are running away from??? That requires you to change your view/way of thinking about it perhaps - Boxing yourself into something - boxes protect and store. Trees can be strength or linked to the family tree and in hen you also have the Shamanic World Tree - lower world, middle world and upper world all represented by the tree.

Christmas alone absolutely sucks - so I can relate to you here very well.

Could the "shell" fish be symbolising a layer of emotional protection??? Nurturing - restaurant - food for thought perhaps???

3 for me always symbolises union of Mind, Body, Spirit. What cycle stage were the moons in, full, half, quarter etc??

Perhaps as you say it is time to be still and listen to your intuition and I wonder if the "evil" lobster is representing your "shell barrier" with succulent goodies inside and your lack of trust in your intuition - when you look at the word "evil" as you would in a mirror you get "live".

I also couldn't help but notice you have made a little typo which could quite easily be like a Freudian slip with "maybe" and it reads baybe - which I then see as either baby - bay be.

Any help???

Star

Ha Ha Ha - in hen geez... should be then.

Chris

10:09 08/11/2001 

well ....ots to work with there....I agree with the freudian typo....it happens to me all the time...my unconciouse gets out any way it can........ And my lord have been encountering alot of babys everywhere....incidently..Ive been looking at property and found a great place...across from a fir tree....and as I sat in a nearby cafe...a stream of mothers and babys came in...there were so many I had to leave...I hate kids sqealing......

Star

10:45 08/11/2001 

Why???

chris

12:31 09/11/2001 

don't know ....just do....

Star

18:49 09/11/2001 

Just a thought - within each of us as you most probably already know is an inner baby, child, and adolescent bla bla, just cause we have grown in age, height etc. and hopefully a tad of wisdom (I am applying that statement about wisdom to myself) - ALL that we have encountered on the way which we haven't fully faced or accepted still exists and often external situations will trigger subconscious feelings etc.

Pity these words can't have sound with them and you cannot see or feel how I am "saying" this but please just know what I am about to say comes solely from my heart -

Does all of this have something to do with running away from your feelings about your Mum Chris which have boxed you into a certain way of thinking and caused you to put on a protective shell???

The running fir tree, the box, the lobster, the maybe "baybe" and now a stream of mothers and babies that cause you so much discomfort you leave (leave, leaf, fir tree). All ties in as I see it.

The moon for me is "feminine" energy - most females I know usually have their menstruation cycle in line with the moon's and when women live together their cycles all fall into line with each other.

Moon is also known as Grandmother in NA belief. From memory the moons in your dream fell into the water - emotions. Could this be about diving into the emotions you have around any "mother"/"grandmother" issues???

Our relationships with women if a man and men if a women (that is if we are hetrosexual) are usually very similar replicas to our relationship with our Mother/Father.

I once worked closely with a very dear friend who was subconsciously hanging onto a very traumatic event that had happened as a baby - his subconscious latched onto the belief when it occurred that he was not wanted, it didn't rationalise at all that his mother just could not cope and had no support with a very demanding baby. Hence his belief in "rejection" by the feminine (his mother) was reflected externally in all his relationships with women thereafter.

The grief I saw him finally feel as he did "release" the event brought tears to my eyes, as well as a smile to my face eventually at his courage for having fully faced the event.

You say you found a great "property" near a fir tree. Perhaps indicating being ready to move somewhere new or into something new, then you take a break in the cafe, (maybe eating, possibly drinking - food and drink) to nurture your Self possibly for a change, then voila your peace is disturbed by Mums and Bubs - can only make a guess that perhaps seeing them together may have triggered the "inner child" to re-act.

How true your words do echo....I am certain that to a certain level ..you are correct...... and maybe this is wher i=this dream has lead me and is leading me..... back to the dead mother! perhaps I have fooled myself into beleivingt that I have overcome everything....when really ...I have just put it all on the shelfe for later....... certainly my reaction to babys is not one that I understand....I actually like kids but mothers with babys really annnoy me...I think your onto something...I will try and work with this in the next few weeks and keeo you informed...thanks

My pleasure Chris - we were recently discussing in the forum how "stuff" we think has gone - ain't and how we have to re-visit it every now and then.

Get the feeling that by posting my contribution to that discussion here it may not only help you but others. Would like to post the responses BUT it is not my place to do so.

We were discussing an illness that via hypnosis unexpectedly led to the discovery of a past life event which had caused immense trauma to an individual and which was the real cause of the otherwise undiagnosable symptoms.

This particular individual actually re-experienced the emotions and perhaps thoughts of the experience many many times via hypnosis before they were free of fear of it and re-action to it.

This discussion helped me to make sense of why we repeat and attract certain patterns of behaviour until like the abuse thing for me quite some time ago they become so subtle that whilst we still re-act emotionally, we barely recognise the cause, until it is pointed out to us.

It is often the case that we think yee ha, that one is gone and before we know it we are facing the same thing, usually in a different form yet again and at that point we often feel like we are back at square one but we really aren't because each time we do feel it fully the impact of it becomes less and less until, like the abovementioned individual we cease to re-act it/to it or think about it and are free of it, totally.

I'm no scientist by any stretch of the imagination but I do remember being told in a very distant science class once that everything is made up of molecules and that what appears solid isn't. It is only our perception that makes it so.

An easy little experiment to see the fluidity of what appears solid is to just lay in the bath, with your feet against the end clearly showing and watch your toes. Is it your focus that changes and they begin to get blurry or is it that in reality they aren't solid which is why they start to look like they are melting into the bath????

Where is this leading - well if, as my Science Teacher told me, and my toes sometimes show me, the molecule theory is correct and the impact of the energy of a feeling is so strong we either contract in fear or hold onto the feelings or thoughts that created it then that I would think would cause a blockage so to speak or a lump of energy to become stuck within the body and energy field of the body, hence illness,dis-ease. and repeating patterns/cycles of an issue.

When we start to become aware of what the lump (our re-action) is truly about we generally feel and release emotion concerning it (the energy of it) and the thoughts about it but perhaps the event that initially caused the lump is so traumatic, condensed,thick, old and "solid" somewhat say like a tennis ball or sometimes a soccer ball, rather than feeling it all in one hit which would appear to be way too much to deal with as we still have to try and function in this world, we need to release it slowly which is why we have to re-visit it over and over until we are truly free of it.

Look forward to hearing what you come up with.

Star.

thanks...and I lke your toes in the bath theory....... and I know exazctly what your saying....you are more than likely right..most of mydreams do relate back to my mother and my child hood.......will keep you posted...thanks again

Honestlty....I never though Id get so much from this dream!

Star

Ha, Ha, Ha, when do we ever think our dreams, or our toes even, will reveal what they do???

Take care Chris and as usual, my pleasure to be of some small assistance.
