| The Dream I am coming home. As I walk up the path to my apartment door, I see my Landlord has come in and is cleaning and painting my apartment. My heart starts pounding and I must leave before he sees me. I don't want to face him. I quickly go to my car to leave before he sees me. As I am pulling out of my parking lot, I see three cars blocking the driveway. I am so anxious to leave; I bump into the first car. The driver gets out and says, "What do you think you're doing?" I wake up. The Symbols Dreams taking place in what you perceive to be home usually refer to your dependence (or independence) or your sense of security. The apartment (or house) symbolizes the body of the dreamer. The landlord is the owner of the house -- the person responsible for it, so he symbolizes the dreamer or that part of dreamer's psyche that is in control of the other parts. The act of cleaning is just that -- cleaning out the garbage you've collected both internally and externally. If you are painting, you are either covering up something (whitewashing) or improving it. Cars symbolize a sense of freedom, being in control or are a means of escape. The driver is the person in control. The Interpretation I am on my way home -- where I feel safe. I see the landlord (me) cleaning and painting my apartment. I have spent the past several years cleaning out the internal garbage I've collected and trying to improve myself, so this is not an unusual dream for me to have. Except that I am afraid to face my landlord (myself). The dream is telling me that in spite of my cleaning I am still trying to cover up something (painting) and I go to my car and try to escape. But there are cars blocking me and I bump into one. The driver gets out and asks me what I am doing. In this case the driver is again me (that part of me that is in control of me). Now this may sound crazy, but after all, it is a dream -- I stop myself from running away and ask myself what I am doing. In other words, why am I running away? (I should know better by now.) I wake up before I can answer myself. The fact that there were three cars blocking my way tells me that there is no way that I was going to get away with running away -- I was going to stop myself and make me face myself no matter what. And the fact that I woke up before I answered the question tells me that I am afraid of the answer (and of course, it was fear that made me cover it up, whatever it is, in the first place.) Unfortunately, the dream gives no indication of what I am covering up and running away from. Hopefully, another dream will tell me. As of today, I am still working on it. But this dream got its message across loud and clear. My Action Plan There is not much action that I can take as a result of this dream, because as I said there is no indication of what I am running away from. The only thing I can do is be more aware, of my dreams and in every day life, and look for signs and symbols that my subconscious might be using to communicate with me. In fact, within a few days of having this dream, I woke up feeling very disturbed but could not remember more than one or two aspects of the dream. I have also had two other "wild" dreams that I am still working on interpreting. You will probably read about them once I do.

| Disclaimer: I do not profess to be an expert on dreams. I have no degree in Psychology or any other science. I profess to be a dreamer -- in every sense of the word, because I dream and I have learned to interpret my own dreams. I make no promises that I can interpret your dreams. I merely hope to help you learn to interpret your own dreams. You are welcome to learn from my experiences. |
