Dream Analysis: Wake Up Call |
Posted by
Raina on Saturday, May 17, 2003 - 02:05 PM PST
I just thought that I'd share a nightmare that I had recently...
I woke up inside a dream to find myself immersed in a sea somewhere: freezing black water, choppy, and deadly silent as if I were deaf even though there were thousands of people floating around me.
I swam over to the nearest man; he had a look of horror frozen on his face. I grabbed his arm as a wave twisted him so that his back was to me. What I saw shocked me.
He did not have a back. He was completely hollow - like a mask: a face with nothing behind it. I swam to the next person and the next and the next as panic gripped me. I came upon hundreds of people and they were all the same - hollow and dead. Floating human masks.
In the distant haze, I spotted a shore of green mountains. Spectacular mountains like I've never seen. I started moving in their direction. But no matter how hard I swam or how many masks I came upon, I wasn't really moving anywhere. I would never reach the mountains. Despair overwhelmed me. I gave up. I was going to become one of them.
Owww, owww, what the hell? Suddenly I was back in my bed and there was something hard and sharp inside my mouth. I sat up in bed, turned on my light, and pulled a four inch steel sewing needle out of my mouth.
Then I woke up.

That's a great dream.
Why can't my dreams have such easy symbolism? Water is always supposed to be your current emotional state. Freezing, black, choppy, and deadly silent? Sounds like you need some hugs, but you're surrounded by people who would crush if you hugged them.
Sounds like a pretty accurate image of most midwest people if you ask me. Hollow and scared and very dead, and they only really exist when they're facing you :)
You can see happy pretty land, but you can't swim there through all the freezing black emotional stuff, so you give up rather than finding another way to get there. (flying maybe?). Sounds like someone's trying to tell you something :)
I dunno about the needle though, maybe someone else has an idea about that part.
Thanks for sharing

My medicine man told me a story once about things that could get inside your dreams and change them...the Japanese have stories of them too.
In America, they're called Skin-walkers or something like that.
In japan they're called Shirokinu-Katsukami and they are fairly benevolent. The needle part makes me wonder if you might have one attached to you, since some of them literally "re-weave" the fabric of a dream...something gives me an idea that it migh have been scripted by outside will.
If thats the case, I'd suggest sprinkling salt around the area you sleep in. Thats like the generic way of dealing with everything.
It could be just a reflection of your thoughts though...maybe a fear of everything being empty and meaningless...I dunno'
I hate dreams where theres something sharp in my mouth, fucking bugs the hell out of me...Is this dream recurrent or a one-time deal?
Monkeys...
Monkeys are the cause and cure to everything just in case...

The first part of your dream seems to indicate a search for truth. The Internet could itself be considered a vast ocean, and we all wear masks from time to time, even when we are online...which is the one place we should feel free to reveal who or what we truly are.
Mountains are usually associated with sanctuary, and green is the color of life and growth...you were seeking a haven, perhaps?
On a Mundane note, the shore always looks closer than it really is...it's been the death of quite a few swimmers lost at sea...
The needle...hmm...was someone trying to silence you on a topic? Perhaps that was your mind's way of waking you up to the idea that someone was trying to sew your mouth shut in a figurative sense. Your subconcious could have alerted you to this, and taken measures to keep the person from succeeding...
Then again, I may be way off the mark...
