dark clouds
Dec. 3rd, 2004 12:26 amThat's what I dreamed about much earlier today, before my last post. At first it was horribly stormy weather, tornados all over and wind and drenching rain. I was trying to survive with some boy who's name I don't remember, even though I called it several times at one point when he went missing. Oh yeah, and I was a guy at this point. Gotta love switching genders. Anyways, I found the boy sitting on a fence, and after a whole lot of stuff that didn't make sense (including spending some time weathering the storm in a lady's house that had sunken mostly underground) I ended up finding a town. The weather was fine by this point, but I found this yard sale and the boy wanted to buy some board games but I only had like $4 to my name. I was me again by this point (female) and I suddenly ran across my Mom at this yard sale.
It was like she didn't want to talk to me. She seemed... shifty. Some other guy shows up, and as I am trying to tell Mom what happened to me she starts rudely talking to this guy and ignoring me. From what she said, I think she was married to this person (what happened to Dad I do wonder?). I realized why so many things at this sale seemed familiar, like the games. They had belonged to our family. My mom was selling our life away, or something. I realized at that moment that I wanted nothing more to do with these people, and left with the boy. If I remember right I had already discovered that his own past life was garbage and so now we decided that we had a lot better chance of starting over again, just the two of us, seeing what sort of adventure life would give us. On $4. So off we went...
Much later in the dream, which made little sense beyond that point, I was with my family in the car on a road trip (I think). The boy from earlier was gone, I think this must have been a separate storyline. I remember seeing extremly dark clouds in the sky, they looked like they had been made entirely of dark grey smoke and seemed out of place with the other more normal, fluffy white clouds. There was even a thunderhead with a lot more of a base to it than the other dark clouds. I knew something was wrong... but I don't remember anything else and eventually woke up.
I wish I had a dream dictionary. Maybe I'll look it up online. I bet dark clouds mean something. Kinda like loosing your teeth in a dream (I forget, but I think that means something about having a difficult decision facing you)... I have *that* dream entirely too much.
Mmm... saltines and American cheese. It was the only thing I felt like eating when I got up. I still have this stupid migraine. Too bad I can't drink Kool Aid anymore or I could complete the nutritionless meal concept. Yum. But now I'm out of American cheese. Damn.
Now to figure out if I'm going to stay up or go back to bed again...
Edit: I looked up the stuff that was in this dream:
Clouds: Dark clouds indicate great sorrows that have to be passed through. But they will pass away if the clouds are moving or breaking away.
Rain: This foretells trouble especially when it is heavy and boisterous.
Thunder: Great danger in life. Faithful friends will desert you. Thunder from a distance indicates that you will overcome troubles.
Storm:
Lashing out or expressing anger
A major or sudden emotional upset or shock
A long-term inner conflict that has come to a head
Notice how well you cope with the storm, it may indicate having the strength within to weather the storm
Something that is volatile, stormy
Bombarding, storming
Placing too much importance on trivia, storm in a teacup
Overwhelming, taking by storm
Wind:
A hint of something that is imminent, getting wind of it
Incoming or imminent change, winds of change
A changing wind direction may indicate an internal shift or a change in life direction
Frightening or alarming, putting the wind up
Feeling shocked, having your wind knocked out
Digging deep, finding new resources, new energy, getting your second wind
Exhaustion, being out of wind
The past tense form of wind, wound, may suggest feeling sore or injured
Fog:
Confusion, feeling unable to sort things out mentally or emotionally
Not wanting to see or acknowledge something
Feeling overwhelmed or uncertain about what lies ahead
An eerie, uncomfortable feeling
A precursor to a period of clarity
Mist:
Lack of clarity, having clouded vision
Lack of foresight
A cover up
A homonym for missed
Male: Symbolic of yang energy - your action-orientated, outward flowing, practical side; A homonym for mail
Boy:
The male aspect of your inner child
Rejecting the feminine within
Being rough and tough
For women, it may indicate the male, action-orientated, yang aspect of self and possibly a need to get in touch with it
Money: The amount of money involved is direct reflection of your beliefs about money, the state of your well-being or your perception of self-worth; Anxiety over financial affairs
Game: The game of life
Your soul’s path - the details of the game will provide further interpretational clues
The outcome of a project or the way in which a situation will pan out, the name of the game
Not taking something seriously enough, treating it like a game
A willingness to participate, being game
A somebody or something that is wild or out of control
the number Four:
A number of wholeness and security
Symmetry
Sudden and great change
Symbolic of the beginning of a new cycle, completion of an old cycle, or universal wholeness e.g. four phases of the moon, four compass points, four seasons, four elements
Transcendence into a higher realm
A homonym for being in support of something, standing for it
May indicate a person who behaves unconventionally, is non-materialistic, inventive, tolerant and an individualist
Car:
A car within a dream usually represents self or the physical body
If you're a passenger, it may suggest feeling dominated or that someone else is in charge
Sell:
An exchange of energies
The product and price involved is likely to be a reflection of your self-worth
Demeaning, selling short
Betraying somebody, selling them down the river
Mother:
The symbol may be drawing your attention to aspects, character traits or emotions within your relationship with your own mother
Stranger:
Seeing a stranger in your dream means a part of yourself that is repressed and hidden. Alternatively, it symbolizes the archetypal dream helper who is trying to offer some insight and advice.
