Last nights is still quite fresh in my mind,some parts were difficult to remember other parts seemed very important.
Dream started off that I was on a housing estate that I know and is quite close to where I live.I think I began to walk home but I wanted to take a route so that my father wouldn't find me, and wanted to take a detour through the park.When I was near the park area the scene morphed to another housing estate, this was an area that was close to where I lived as a child,I was trying to get to somewhere which I knew was on the other side of this estate except when I followed the road which I thought would lead me to the place I wanted to go to,I ended up lost and going around in a big circle,often back where I was originally.
Every time I started out on my trek I was near a small park which contained tennis courts but I didn't like being in this park because it was too small and crowded and I wanted to find a larger more empty one I had a good idea in my head of what I was looking for but I kept getting lost and confused with all the different roads.
At one point near the end of the dream when I was back at my starting point my mother asks me about my career and working life.her boyfriend starts walking alongside with me as I'm trying to find my way out again and after a while he says something along the lines of: you have a problem with responsibility don't you?
I can't remember if I say anything back but I acknowledge what he says and think that he is right. |

The dream sounds like a general reflection overall of the life.,thus far. "Walking in circles" is a pun - around and around the various paths we take in life, only to end up in the same place in the end.,or "where we were originally". I take note, that it was important to you to avoid your father. Trying to get to the "other side", is the effort you try to expend to do this consciously.....to get from one path in life to another, only to find yourself, back where you were.(metaphorically speaking) Being in the small and crowded park, wanting to find a "larger and more empty one", possibly points to wanting a larger and more unencumbered by restrictive walls (consciousness).....one that isn't being restrained so much. Not a small perspective but a much larger one. Being "back at the starting point"......is probably how you feel about life and work,........that you don't feel you made the strides you should have. Therefore, the b.f. is there to remind you what you already know of. |

| Yes thats correct Deb, I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out what the symbology of a housing estate could mean? I've dreamt of housing areas a lot of times,obviously we've sussed that singular houses are often symbolic of the dreamers own state of consciousness but what could an area full of housing mean? Perhaps choices that are available? As in different states of consciousness ? maybe by taking different decisions we would find ourselves in those houses/ Different states of minds? |

yes, I think the Estate in the dream, means, "larger, far larger then the norm" type of consciousness possibly. Various house, house our consciousness. Do we have walls or closets? Are they walk-in closets, as my daughter Becky once dreamed of in her basement bedroom when she was a teenager, and putting up walls (in other words, we (her parents) were behind the walls......via the walk-in closets. This connotes wanting your own space - in her dream. Putting up the walls were barriers she was constructing as an adult to "keep us out", in otherwords, from her choices I suppose in life (as she saw them to be) So, whenever we dream of places we inhabit, it's symbolic of consciousness and how and in what way we inhabit our consciousness. I think the Estate is very larger then the norm; while the park you mentioned, (felt too small and constrained) but maybe too, I missed something, but this is how it struck me. |

I remember years back on the other site, your dreams use to incorporate ball parks, (like stadiums with bleachers too)......remember those days? LOL You always had very dramatic dreams very vivid symbols . Sometimes people will dream of houses with many corridors or pathways going this way or that way. Thats another way to see how we are thinking. I'd love to know what G.W. Bush & Cheney's dreams are like.....I'd like to be a fly on the wall, just a speck in their nightly dreams. Must be fun huh? |

You could have as easily couched the dream in clothes. Such as clothes being "too small to almost bursting out of them" might symbolize trying to stay in a smaller frame of reference, i.e.the things we wear each day or try on for size mentally. But it seems that many of us have house dreams. For Ralph it's also fixing up houses, working on them and painting them. They are usually being rehabbed, or from old to new, new things being added to them from top to bottom. For me, I dream a lot about various floors, from the basements to the attics. Different levels . But I would think that the Mansions, the larger then life property, might signify it takes longer to "get around it", or go through it. Being, (as the title of the thread says) "lost" in a large housing estate, could suggest too, feeling that there is too much being offered, that there is a sense of non-security about it too. Sometimes, we feel insecure with things that aren't familiar, or are so large and overwhelming |

Yep, I think the symbology of me being lost means I'm unsure of a direction to take in life to help me progress,maybe scared of the responsibility because I don't want to make a wrong move and mess up? I think its the fear of something not working out the way I hope that stops me,the fear that if I try something but it yields no results than it would have been a waste.I think thats partly to do with my mercury in the second,I need to now that something is going to be of practical use that I can benefit from before I attempt it.
Yes I remember those dreams,its funny cos when I read them over all of the memory comes back once more! my dreams are still as detailed and vivid, I think we have to train ourselves to remember the little things that make up the whole to be able to do this we need to think about them as soon as we wake but sometimes that can be difficult if we have other things to think over.I think i've been a bit out of shape dream memory-wise lol. |
