Over the period of a few nights, I had a dream about a giant eye in pitch black space. Eventually, I saw myself standing before it, but the surrounding was space. All it did was slowly suck in all the light, stars, everything... and then eventually me as well.
This one sounds really existential for some reason. It even sounds divine with the sucking in everything: stars, lights, and yourself. Call me weird, but I kind of like the image of this dream. I wish someone could draw it for me now. I guess we will have to see what this means within this interpretation!
As I have mentioned in other people?s dream interpretations, dreams love puns. The eye could actually mean ?I? as in yourself. It might be telling you to look literally within yourself and understand yourself. Perhaps in the dream it is your subsconsciousness actually looking at you! I wasn?t sure whether the pitch black area was to be taken as space or just blackness, so I incorporated both. I hope that is okay! In regards to space, it represents exploring and your own thinking, especially on how you are expanding your views. It could also be about ?spacing out? or needing ?more space.? Black symbolizes many things, but since this dream feels somewhat neutral (despite the whole things getting sucked in thing) I will go with the unknown, the subconscious, mystery, and a call to going deeper in your subconscious to understand yourself. It could also mean a blank slate.
Seeing yourself is a reflection of how you act and behave in your waking life. Perhaps since you are standing before the eye, it might mean that you are asserting yourself and being proud. It might be too proud though, since seeing things bigger than they are indicate pride.
I?ll admit that I am not entirely sure about the part where everything is sucked in. My best word for it is being devoured, which is supposed to indicate either loss of identity, or a fear of losing who you are. However it could also be a metaphor for being consumed by ambition or obsession. It might be the latter if it is about pride, especially because the light and stars could represent being too idealistic or the desire for fame and fortune. I can also see it this part of the dream as you being proud and assertive of yourself, exploring who you are, but then being afraid of losing that identity and of the knowledge that you gain. You might be afraid of going back into the unknown or starting over as a ?blank slate.? This is especially because light can also mean enlightenment and understanding, while stars also mean luck, aspirations, and success. Maybe you are afraid of losing that understanding and success. I see these two different ways and I?m not sure which is more correct. I think you need to analyze what is going on in your life and see which one matches better.
This was a really interesting one. I like the imagery of this. I do feel that this dream is definitely about your understanding of yourself. I?m not sure whether it is trying to tell you that you are too prideful and need to tone down or that you are afraid of losing understanding of yourself and success. I hope you look into what is going on around you and make a decision on what matches better. I hope this was useful!

sounds like a wrinkle in time
I remember a wrinkle in time! That's a really great book. Alby-Kun I also suggest reading it in relation to the dream.

Lately I've been having dreams that include snakes... many many snakes. Usually the setting is at my nana's cottage or my own cottage and it involves having hundreds of snakes slithering around the whole property. Only a few of my dreams involve being bitten/filled with venom, most of the time the snakes are either slithering around and minding their own business or are chasing me.
The weird thing about these critters are that they're huge, way larger than normal. There is always one giant snake, usually it's black and it's the biggest out of all of them, kind of like a "king" if you will.
It's very weird but it's a reoccurring theme. Easily six time this "genre" of dream has happened to me.
Oh my, snakes! That must be some weird recurring dream to have. You probably have a lot of things your subconsciousness wants you to explore regarding the snake symbol.
According to the manual that I refer to, seeing snakes or being bitten by one symbolizes hidden fears and worries. I guess your dream is really trying to warn you about something that you haven?t been noticing. This is especially true given that it is recurring and that it is this same symbol. Perhaps, the fact that these snakes are large indicates that you want to dominate this situation. You do not want to be dominated by your fears and worries.
During the times you were bitten, it represented some sort of feeling of being vulnerable in something unsolved. Perhaps you have not been noticing or paying attention, as the snakes have suggested, so the snakes have resolved to get your attention even more and bite you, making you more vulnerable to the issues that you have been ignoring. The venom, in particular, is about anger that you have been keeping inside and hiding from others, but are showing through. Perhaps one of the other hidden fears is showing anger?
During the times where you were just ignored by the snakes, is again represented by not paying attention to a certain aspect of yourself. When you were being chased by the snakes, it shows again that you are avoiding a situation that you think you cannot solve. Since you were chased by an animal, a snake in this case, you have unacknowledged anger projected onto those hidden fears and worries. Chase dreams, by the way, are very common dream themes. Usually when you are being chased, you are encouraged to face your pursuer, as it represents running away from a problem. You never know, you might actually get your resolution from the snakes! This would require a bit of lucid dreaming though.
It seems so far that your dreams of the snakes are related to some hidden fears that you are ignoring or some anger that you feel towards your problems. Interesting how they all seem to fit so far!
You also mentioned the setting, a cottage. Since the dream has negative connotations, I will use that interpretation. The cottage in this case, represents alternate reality or a means of escaping responsibilities and problems that may be associated with your home. This is particularly true for your nana?s cottage since grandparents are comfort and protection. Perhaps you are seeking comfort from these ?snakes? these problems.
For big black king snake, I will combine the meanings of black and king, but I?m not sure if it is the right way to interpret it. The type of snake is vague and I do not want to assign a type of snake wrongly, so I will use the general king term for this. The good news is that seeing a king indicates that you will be able to have success soon and rise above your problems. This is because the king is symbolic of power and control. However, it can also mean looking for support again, and that would be consistent with the cottage.
I would suggest that you work towards achieving what the big black king snake suggests and rise above these hidden fears and problems. I think the snakes and the amount of times that the dream has been repeated, are trying to get you to look at the hidden issues that are not apparent to you. Don?t be afraid to get out of the comfort zone and face the snakes!
I hope this makes sense.
Wooh I have finally gone through all of the October 13 ones. I will get to more tomorrow as I am getting sleepy and I want to have a clear head whenever I analyze these.
Creepy dreams or nightmares usually are there to tell you to pay attention to something in your life. They're usually scary so that they can grab your attention easily. We do remember a lot of our nightmares because they are scary no?
I do think that sometimes we have this feeling of knowing, but you also have to differentiate between random anxieties and actual intuition, which is something I'm still trying to figure out myself! With repetitive dreams, it usually indicates that the dream is trying to get you to pay attention to something, or that you have worries and anxieties about something. Perhaps you were worried about your father? Though it's not necessarily about his life.
