Dream interpretation is something that I have always been interested in but have never been able to do. I thought about writing my dreams down, which I did for about 3 days after I had my first lucid dream. I usually have about 3 dreams per night and I wrote down a page per dream (which were severely condensed versions with the finer details left out). I quickly came to the conclusion that in order to actually analyze, not just a quick scanning and shallow interpretation, but get at the deeper meanings of the things which are being shown/told to me, I would have to quit my job, end my relationship, and do almost nothing but eat, have dreams, and interpret them. It's almost like driving down the highway at over a 100mph and trying to fix your gaze on a nearby tree as you're passing by. Before you even have time to, the next tree is already there, and the next and next and next....If anyone has any suggestions, I am all ears.
In the mean time, I took to only trying to analyze the dreams in which I become lucid (fully) in, which has only happened twice. I have been really wanting to find someone who can help me interpret the first one that I had, but most people dont know what to think. I will write it out if anyone wants to try their hand at it. I would really appreciate anything that anyone would care to say about it. Thanks in advance!
*It starts off as a regular (aurguable) dream but then I become lucid....
I was at a subway station here in Osaka on a platform waiting for a train. There seemed to be a large number of people waiting for the train headed to the west (downtown).I spotted two ladies, which at first I didnt recognize as prostitutes but as I got closer it became a bit more aparent. I realized that I was naked as I approached these ladies. When I got close, I greeted them. One of them replied by saying "You're dreaming." (This is when I became lucid). I looked at her, then looked around at the subway station and said "What? What are you talking about?" She said once again, this time with a smile on her face, "You're dreaming." At that time, the train that everyone was waiting for had arrived at the platform. The doors opened, but no one got off the train, there were only masses of people getting on. There were more people than I previously thought, but somehow they all seemed to be successfully boarding. The two ladies began to make their way onto the train and I began to follow. I took one step, then the same lady from before turned to me and said "This is not your train. Your train, is over there" as she pointed to the platform for the train headed in the other direction. As I turned to look, the women boarded the train, then it departed. I stood there for a moment looking at the people that were planning to board the same train as I appearently was meant to. There were very very few compared to the train that just left, not even enough to call a proper fraction of that amount. I thought "This cant be a dream. This is real." I looked down at my hands to prove it. In my hands I had a 500 yen coin (gold coin, eq to 5 $US). I put the coin in my pocket and began to walk over to the other platform.
As I was walking, I passed by a set of escalators which caught my attention. There were three: one descending from the floor above to the floor that I was on, one ascending to the floor above and one that was moving, but for all my effort I couldnt tell if it was going up or down. It seemed like neither, but both. On the escalator that was coming down, there were tons of people of all shapes sizes and ethnicities. They all seemed to be familiar, like I had met them or at least seen them before, but I had no concrete memory of them. On the escalator going up, there once again was very very few people. On the third escalator, there was no one.
I stood and looked at them for awhile, but then noticed something strange on the ground. It came to my attention that there was a pulsating stream of blue light coming from all directions that had the soles of my feet as its destination. It was as though the ground was made of glass and I could see this light very clearly. I stood and watched it for a short time, during which I had the intuitive inclination that this was some form of information. I stood and tried to analyze everything that I had seen so far.
At that point I sorta freaked out. It was a dream, but everything was so real. I didnt know what to make of it. I decided to get out of the station. I started running and I found an alternative set of escalators. It was the same as the three before: one up, one down, and one moving/not moving, but this time there were no people on any of them. I decided to take the one that goes up. I got on the escalator and began to ascend. Before I reached the top, I looked up and saw a man standing at the top seemingly waiting for me. He was dressed in nearly all white, but what he was wearing lost my attention when I realized that that man was non other than Jesus. My gaze was fixed on his face and eyes. He was holding something that was about size of a small child or small animal. I never looked directly at it, so I dont know, but it was draped in all white (fur or clothing). As I reached the top of the escalator, I reached out and I touched him with both hands and suddenly burst into tears. Then instantly,
I woke up.
I should mention also that I left out a lot the finer details so that you dont have to spend your entire day reading about my dream. If you actually read all of it, I appreciate it. Any thoughts/opinions?
Be well,
