The Dream Thread

[caycegal]

I was cleaning out some computer files and found a dream log which had just this one entry, it's from a year ago, almost to the day:


Wednesday June 13, 2012

First dream was strangest. The world was in some sort of peril and everyone knew it.

Just for the fun of it -- here goes....

The world does seem to be in some sort of peril and everyone who turns on a tv set knows it.

I kept having to turn off some timer on my truck

It's important to turn off the timer and get into the Now, which eliminates all need to think about the world's craziness.

and it bothered a man, Martin Sheen. I invited him back to my place (and some other actor I can't recall - John Cusack, lets say). Zack Galifianakis was laying on the couch when we got there. I introduced Martin and John to Zack and had trouble remembering Zack's name. Zack stayed laying on the couch, barely looked up and said "Hey guys. Has the world ended yet?"

Martin Sheen = president, man in charge, honorable authority figure and father figure
John Cusack = artist, rebelious but good person, honorable, wacky, sensitive
Zack Galiafianakis = lazy, talented, funny, don't give a damn

These guys are different aspects of your nature or at least different ways you see yourself.

[Setting change - old college house] a guy needed a cup so I invited him in for some water. He wanted to hang out, I was apprehensive, so were the housemates.

You want to help others, but feel some anxiety about where it might lead you

or

You want to give the cup of water (infusion of spirit) to your self because you need it - but what will that do to you and all the inner parts of yourself (housemates) that will be affected

I again had trouble remembering their names during introductions. I think my Grandmother was there too. I remember saying, "My life is increasingly strange". Then the setting changed again.

[family home] family and old friends. People I haven't seen or heard from in years having reunions, pets too.

Many memories and aspects of your past coming to fore, how to integrate all the changes in your life with your "self" which consists of memories, patterns.

My cat and I were "talking".

Cat = your intuition

He knew how to point and was trying to tell me something about a squirrel that was sitting at the dining room table.

Squirrel at dining room table = something about your eating habits? Eating too much, squirreling something away? Compulsive behavior?

At one point I was in the basement and a young cousin had an ice cream cone that he chucked to the ground because he knew I had to pick it up. To teach him a lesson, I rubbed the ice cream into his head. He bawled and I felt bad enough to clean it off. Then he turned into a premature baby that could talk. Everything I did to make him feel comfortable made him cry harder. It was disturbing.

Some kind of self frustrating behavior you are engaged in - something you are doing to yourself that you then need to clean up. You feel your behavior in this situation is like a baby on some level.

There was another fragment where a cottontail rabbit was under a bed. It would come when I called to it, every time. It would then spin against my finger, faster and faster, until it was break dancing.

Rabbits can be a dream symbol for resurrection. You can be born again. You can leave behind all frustrating behavior and become a new person.

I wonder why I ever stopped the dream log?



Even after a year of learning how to interpret dreams, I can't make very much out of this one.

Okay, I just did that for the fun of it and because you presented a challenge. Have no idea if any of this is relevant to you. Please forgive the audacity!
