The people fighting in the cave could very well be my emotions trying to sort themselves out. The brother, the son, the friend, the enemy, the worrier, the vindicated, the in between. Could also be why I had a deja vu feeling as I would have just been recognizing the different aspects of my own personality being played out in front of me. And in the end my reaction was to run away suggesting that I likely haven't figured out how to deal with the situation yet.
Also the tree and the cave suggest something effecting my roots or my foundations. Which this situation has me down in spades for.
But that's just my interpretation. I don't know much about dream theory to be honest. But it was too vivid of a dream to not have any meaning to it.
Hmm, I picked up on the dolls and skeletons later after re-reading your dream. But I TOTALLY missed the tree (roots), damn it.
Thanks for sharing your interpretation. Perfect example of how the dreamer "owns" 'the dream.

Sometimes you need a bit of chaos in your life to be able to shrug off pitiful disdain about something meaningless.

Zet Wrote:Just gotta report I've not had that particular mountain dream since last post, but dreamed many times dreams with signs of it.
Like some days ago I dreams a dream like this: "I woke up in a timber house not alone in bed, but the face was censored and so was his voice as well. I saw my self having long conversations with him but I only heard what I was saying, it was just things like *Good morning how are you?*, *I'm fine as well, do you want to go fishing*. The dream was pretty much oriented around this unknown man, but the cottage we were sleeping was at a top of a big ~mountaintop~ in the alps. I was fit and seemed happy, we walked down to the bottom where there was a lake where we sat on a little boat and started fishing although its not something I regularly doing. When I am looking down in the water I am seeing ~the city~ I was living in and was over in all other dreams. The water was perfectly crystal clear, strangely clear for being a lake. But now where the mountain was were my boat in the lake. When we were done we went to a car and desided to buy some food that would fit well with the fish we just caught, we were far away from the nearest town but when we finnaly got somewhere it was the same ~ruined town (Looking like the ruins of Chernobyl, as the other dream)~, we saw noone anywhere and the weather turned gray and bitter. We suddenly stopped the car in the middle of the freeway and walked along the fence until we find a tiny abandoned shack. But when we enter the doors there was a massive supermarket inside, and I am talking MASSIVE filled with LOADS of people, filled with fresh groceries. We picked some fresh dill, bear, white whine, and other things. Then I were going to get toilet paper but had to go through a door, and as I passed the suroundings changed and I was in some kind of club dressed as a Pimp and my favorite song (Promoe - These walls dont lie) were in the background. I hugged many chicks and greeted many guys feeling like top of the heaven and girls were buying me drinks all the sudden. Then I saw my brother making out with the Censured man all the sudden and I am going to my brother yelling mad, ending up dragging him out of the club beating him, he was just begging for me to stop but I just kept yelling *Faggot* and hit. After a while the cops came and arrest me in the car and I was just yelling horrible stuff at my brother. As I was siting there in the cop car I just shut my eyes for a second, when I opened them I suddenly was tied to a big stick and was abducted by some kind of tribe and so is the Censured man. We get to a tiny village with straw huts. They took us to they're leader, he inspected us well, pinching, touching, smelling us. He put the man in one hut meanwhile he picked up a ~bowl of cereal~ and dipped his fingers first and touched my chest, where the heart is and praying something in some foreign language, then pours the bowl on my head and picked up a flint kris dagger and cut my throat"
Thats where I woke up all the sudden. I do not remember all details but the mayor content do I still remember. It felt so strange waking up to it, even stranger thinking about it. I would be really greatful if you could manage to solve this puzzle :redface:
Cheers
First, my apologies Zet for taking so long to finish this dream. I've been SUPER busy the last week or so.
Timber house, one sided conversations: As I've often written, houses can represent our "self". Since this house is not your "full time" house it is sort of a "temporary" symbol of your "self". And I think the unknown man is probably a slice of your "self" as well. The fact that the conversation is "one sided" (you only hear yourself speaking) is pretty interesting, but I can only guess as to the significance, but it's obviously "unbalanced" and one sided.
Looking down into the lake and seeing the city: Interesting citation from my book on the symbolism of "lake": Lakes symbolize the Earth's eye, through which the inhabitants of the Underworld are able to gaze upon humans, animals, plants and so on. From another book: ...the lake--or rather, its surface alone--holds the significance of a mirror, presenting an image of self-contemplation, consciousness and revelation. It seems to me, the first case, things are kind of reversed in your dream as it is YOU who peering into another world, as if the lake were your eye. But in the second case, there is NO reflection on the surface, in fact the water is very clear. So it seems kind of unusual that these "classic" symbols are (sort of) reversed in your dream.
Stopped car, walk along fence, pass through doors: Here your journey comes to end, but you seemed "hemmed in" by the fence (a barrier) until you come upon the "shack" and pass through the doors. Passing through doors is symbolic of passing from one realm to the next. This is evidence of more "change" that we talked about earlier.
Abduction by tribal leader, cut throat: I have to admit, this has me completely stumped. But if I stick with the themes of "Change", "Transition", "Passage" I might suggest that this is some sort of a "rite of passage"; a "coming of age" ritual, something where you (and your Censured Man) are both "initiated" into the "group".
This is a very dense complicated dream, and I don't think I got every little detail. But hopefully you'll keep posting your dreams and I'll keep taking swings at them.
Thanks again for sharing and again sorry it took so long to get back to this dream.

First some background.
Although I approach dreams from a "metaphorical" standpoint, sometimes I think dreams can be quite literal as we sort through some real life "drama".
My real life "drama" that is at the front of my mind right now is that next week I'm taking a quick trip back home to visit my parents in order to explain that I'm putting my house up for sale and I'm moving to a large metropolitan city with a vibrant gay community so that I can find a partner and live a different lifestyle.
It's sort of a coming out story, except I told them 14 years ago that I was interested in men so it's really old news...
But my friends in my current city really have no idea. They know I'm selling my house, but they don't know I'm moving. And they don't know why. But after I get home from visiting my parents I intend to explain all of that to my friends as well.
This is causing me some anxiety, especially as the date approaches.
Last night I had a dream--a very literal dream--that I was having this conversation with my best friend (the father of my goddaughter). In my dream I was doing a lot of talking but really not saying anything. I never did get around to telling him I date men and I'm gay.
That's it. No big symbolism. No metaphors. No "shadow figures" or doppelgangers. Just my brain rehearsing the conversation I'm going to have in less than two weeks.
•
Real life: Had the "talk" with my parents tonight.
But last night I had a dream I was having the "talk" and there was a God damn news crew (camera, microphone, reporter) right there beside me broadcasting the entire conversation.
So this dream wasn't quite so literal as my last. Obviously my "news crew" dream is symbolic of my concern about how the news is going to travel.

I just noticed the locks on the threads below this one are creeping closer!
This is just a post to keep the thread alive.
Hopefully share a dream soon.

Heh. =)
Anyone ever have extended series of dreams in one night where you have entire (usually crazy) conversations with the people who are actually in the room you're sleeping in? Then you wake up and gradually realize none of it ever actually happened? I really love/hate those dream sequences...

That's never happened to me, but I don't usually sleep in a room with other people...not since camping out in a cabin or tent as a younger man.
Sounds pretty interesting though...
