Sorry that this has been taking so long! I had to study for an earlier final this week. From the middle of next week to the middle of the following week, I will be working on finals, so I?m not going to be able to post for a long while. I?m going to try my best to work on as much as I can this week, but I also have to finish some final semester stuff.
Hello again! Dreams do like doing these things to us. Usually if it is recurring then the problem that is being addressed in these types of dreams are similar from the past and are resurfacing again in your own life. Let?s explore the meaning, shall we?
Child Dream
First, let?s start with the dream when you were a child. Feelings are important to analyze in your dreams as well. Your feelings of softness and heavenliness both indicate contentment, a desire to find happiness, and hope. It can be seen as a dream where you may be trying to escape difficulties in life and enter a safe area of comfort. Like I have mentioned before, houses represent our own soul and self and the rooms represent a certain aspect of your psyche. I?ll get into those specific later. Since this house was bigger, it could mean two different things. It can either reflect a very very high opinion of yourself or someone else or it can be a way to express being more powerful. The house was also made to be more fantasy like. It is either a way for your dream to show you what is normal or a way for the dream to let you explore the different parts of your mind so that you can be more creative. I will let you think on what this house meant for you as a child. Which of the two meanings seem more accurate at the time?
Now we can get into more specifics of the house. The living room represents what persona you put on in front of others and how you live your life. It can also represent your beliefs on who you are. The living room, however is also a symbol of the boundary between your personal self and your public self, and things that do not belong in the living room are supposed to represent parts of your life invading your personal space. The significant object here was a flying staircase made of books. For this I will do my best and try to meld together books, flying, and stairs. The stairs could signify growth and rebirth while the flying aspect could represent freedom from restrictions and limits. The books represent calmness, moving to your goals, and of course knowledge and wisdom. Together, the flying staircase could symbolize a growth in your knowledge or a growth in your progress towards your goals and calmness. I would definitely think about whether this is representative of your beliefs or whether these things are invading your personal space, as those are the two meanings that can be found in the living room.
Let?s move on towards the basement. Basements represent your subconscious mind and intuition. It can also represent your level of satisfaction, basic needs, and animalistic desires. It can even be a metaphor for feeling humbled or unworthy (from the words ?debased? and ?abasement?). In order to derive which of the meaning the basement is for your, let?s look at what was in the basement. First, you said there was a bar. I?m going to combine both the bar in the sense of the ones in public and a counter to indicate the sense of those private bars. Bars can suggest a desire to escape from stress or to gain acceptance in some aspect. It can also be a pun on being ?barred? or not being allowed to go somewhere. Counters represent your desire for advice and direction on some aspect. It can also imply lacking something and looking for it. My idea with this basement is that it could be representative of your level of satisfaction, since for the bar you are either trying to escape or are trying to gain some acceptance or advice. Perhaps you are trying to look deep into your mind to find some answers or some solace. The girly things you see in Disney movies can also reflect that desire of escape and finding satisfaction. You also said that you seem to have a filter in your dream, which implies needing to be more cautious in how you express yourself or needing to accept positives and leaving the negatives behind. I want you to determine that part, though I lean more towards the acceptance of positives and leaving the negatives behind. The reason I think that is because of the many positive symbols despite the feeling of needing to escape or gaining acceptance.
Let?s summarize the child dream. I really think this dream was meant as an escape into a fantasy world like you said. Perhaps it is even an escape into your own soul and your subconscious desires. Now that I look at all of the symbols, I think it is an expression of all of the creativity, though I still invite you to decide between the two options. We explored beliefs and personal space as well as your level of satisfaction. You are either okay with a personal growth within yourself or are feeling as though it is an invasion of space. I kind of go with the former, but feel free to think otherwise if it doesn?t fit. We also explored a possibility of wanting to escape or gain some advice. You are also either asked to be more cautious or to look more on the positive side.
The Updated Dream
Now let?s focus on the updated dream. Friends from your past can show a desire to reconnect with either aspects that you have lost touch with, old hobbies, or even the friends? themselves. Ex-friends in particular are either an indication of something reminding you about them or a need to look into lessons that you have learned from the defriending. They could be representative of lessons that you need to apply to a current situation. I think that the interaction between your friends and the parts of the house that they are fascinated with shows you trying to evaluate a situation and gather information about your environment. Perhaps you need to communicate your feelings more? It could be something about those aspects or those lessons trying to interact with the different parts of your previous self as a child. They happened to break the objects around through fascination. The destruction and breaking suggests a lot of stress (perhaps your literal ?breaking point?) and some sort of chaos that is going on. Maybe you are making choices that are self-destructive, especially since the friends destroy parts of your house or your soul and persona. When your friends leave, it reflects feelings of rejection or a need to use your full potential. However, it can also be a way for you to let go of the past and move on. I can see it go both ways for this, so I definitely invite you to think more about that.
You were then left alone in a pile of rubble where the dream fades to a black and white and ends. The rubble represents unwanted or rejected aspects of yourself. I would definitely look back and see what was destroyed and what the meanings were for each aspect that I pointed out in the child dream. They could reflect a change in how they are now viewed as unwanted. However, this dream can also point to a self-destructive pattern and life falling apart. It seems to fit this way because of the symbols of destruction and breaking. Definitely think on this, especially focusing on what was broken and put into the rubble in the process. I do see hope since you were standing on top of the rubble. It shows how you are standing up for yourself. I have to add though that sometimes it means you are detached from your surroundings, just in case that fits better for your situation. I am not entirely sure, but you would have the answer to that from your own life. The fading aspect represents a lack of motivation or inspiration, while the black and white suggests a need to be more objective or a feeling of depression or sadness. It might be that there is not enough excitement in life. Definitely analyze and see which one fits better.
In short, it seems that what changed was that different aspects or lessons that you have learned about yourself are not colliding with each other in your dream. Some of those aspects are put into the rubble and seen as rejects. There could be a lot of stress, self-destruction, needing to be more objective, or feelings of sadness. You are either standing up for yourself or feeling detached from all of this.
I hope that this helps you think about the dream!
You?re welcome! Haha zombie marathons can definitely creep into our dreams.
Haha no problem! I try my best to provide as much detail to help everyone explore themselves.
hey again c: so this is very similar to the concept that i explained last time; having a dream when i was still a kid and having that same dream reoccur again but with updated faces and everything. so yeah as you know, theres this other dream i had when i was the same age as last time; i really dont know how to describe it, but i guess its like one of those dreams with a soft and heavenly feeling to it. the setting was basically the house that i currently live in but reconstructed to be much bigger and have fantasy like things in it..like the living room would have things like flying books as stairs, our deserted basement was my room with things like a bar and that typical girly room that you would see in disney movies..and it looks like i was seeing that dream with an instagram filter in front of me haha. that dream was pretty much my fantasy life back then; it was just me and i think my family lived with us too? i dont clearly remember it. so yeah thats how it was when i was a kid

The Updated Dream
when i had the same dream with the same setting recently, it was as if my ideal fantasy life just got corrupted. all of my old or ex-friends were for some reason my best friends again and were all visiting that dream house of mind. i dont recall seeing my family members there..but they were basically so amazed with everything that they ended up tearing the house down bc they kept touching everything and were so fascinated by it. by the time they left, i was somehow just standing in rubble and the soft/heavenly feeling faded into black and white and the dream just ended there
