My Dream

Today when I got home from work, I took a nap. I slept for about 4 hours. Normally, I wouldn't take so long of a nap so when I woke up and saw the time, I felt there was a HUGE significance about the things I could remember from my dream.

Just for your 411, in EVERY DREAM since I was a little boy, in my dreams, I could fly and had super human strength (and everyone knows that with super human strength comes invlunverability...lol It's just the way my mind works)

But not in this dream.

I wasn't weak or frail, I was just a normal person.

What I'm gong to do in this blog is tell you how it went...and then the symbolizm behind the things that I can remember. I haven't been dreaming so vividly lately, so this dream really kinda startled me.

In my dream I am walking down Whittier Blvd, in the city of La Habra. I walk in to a 7/11 and buy a cherry cheesecake danish. I am talking on the phone at first, but I can't really make out who I'm talking to...I just know that I am happy talking to this person.

The night is alive with cars, parties and people. It's very remiscent of the strip in Vegas.

I remember the streets being packed with people. I hang up the phone as I start walking towards an area that seems familiar to me, but I know that I am trying to make it home. I put on my Ipod and start walking. I start dancing and singing because I'm having a great time just being around these people with their energy. These two black dudes walk up to me and tell me that it looks like i'm having a great time, and they point me in the direction of this party that looks like it would be fun for it to last forever. I head that way, but then I realize that I'm carrying my shoes and I'm walking barefoot. At that point I turn back to walk in the direction that feels familiar...but I'm lost now. The way that I came is now a HUGE 30 foot gap of street with cars whistling by. (Now remember, in my dreams in my dreams I can fly) So, like I would do in every other dream. I look to the sky and try to take off....but I don't. Instead, I sort of LEAP over to the other size of this gap, but barely make it. I fall forward chest first and hit the ground. It hurt.

I pull out my phone because even though I made the gap...none of this looks the same. I call the one person who said I can always count on. He says he'll come pick me up.

So I run..I run past all the parties and the cars. I run past everything that I had traversed in the first place. He is on the phone with me and says "I'll pick you up at the old Pizza Parlor" so I turn to the other side and see the pizza parlor. It's run down and derelict, but there is a house and a parking area in the back. So I go to the house and open the door. A cousin, (who is a hybrid of my Uncle Ray and My Nina) is laying on a bed in a very small room, wearing a FedEx Uniform. He jumps up to grab a knife, but then realizes it's me and apologizes (knife in hand) I tell him that I thought Andrew was in there. But then Andrew flashes his lights and I see he's been outside.

I walk out and get caught in this enormous spiderweb. I can feel how sticky it is and how difficult it's become to move. But after a few tugs, I manage to get free. I see my shoes on the floor and I pick them up. I get in Andrews car and he tells me he needs to be home by 11pm. He met a guy and he promised he'd meet him then....as we drive, I notice a man with several guns in his car. ONE in particular is a small black revolver, that he is kissing lovingly.

Just as Andrew is about to tell me something very important, the man aims the gun at us and pulls the trigger. The sound of the firearm wakes me up.

This is what I've pieced together from my dream:

I went to go buy a cherry cheese danish because I had purchased some earlier and I forgot to eat them. I had been wanting one for a few days. (It was a sign of giving in to cravings...I'm trying to quit smoking)

Cell Phone:

To see or use a cell phone in your dream, indicates that you are being receptive to new information. It also represents your mobility.

The nightlife that i can ONLY compare to Vegas means:

To dream that you are in Las Vegas, refers to excess and overindulgence. You need to show some restraint in some area of your life. Alternatively, it suggests that your good judgment is being clouded by all the emotional turmoil and chaos.

Walking Down the street:

To dream that you are walking with ease, signifies a slow, but steady progress toward your goals. You are moving through life in a confident manner. Consider your destination. To see a street in your dream, symbolizes your life's path. The condition of the street reflects how much control you have over the direction of your life. Is there a name on the street which can offer some significance or hints to the meaning of the dream.

Leaping:

To dream that you are leaping over an object, indicates that you will eventually achieve your desires and goals after much effort and struggle. Alternatively, the dream may be a metaphor for "taking a leap" or taking a chance on a new relationship or situation. You are stepping outside your comfort zone. Consider also the phrase "leap of faith".

Lost:

To dream that you are lost, suggests that you have lost your direction in life or that you have lost sight of your goals. You may be feeling worried and insecure about the path you are taking in life. Alternatively, you may be trying to adjust and get accustomed to a new situation in which the rules and conditions are ever changing.

Cousin:

To see your cousin in your dream, represents something or some aspect of your character that is somewhat familiar. Perhaps you need to spend more time in cultivating and developing some emerging ability or character.

Knife:

Signifies anger, aggression and/or separation. There may be something in your life that you need to cut out and get rid of. Alternatively, the knife may be symbolic of something divisive in your life. You may be attempting to cut ties or sever some relationship.

Spiderweb:

You are being held back from fully expressing yourself

Shoes:

To find shoes in your dream, suggests that you have regained your foothold on life. You are back on the right path again.

Revolver:

To see a revolver in your dream, symbolizes lingering danger. It also represents fear, anger and aggression. You are using your power to defend yourself against the fear and anger.

Andrew:

To dream of an old lover, signifies unfinished/unresolved issues related to that specific relationship.

So, that's everything. most of this are SPOT THE FUCK ON. But pieced together, it's a bit confusing. I wonder if it has something to do with the order of them happening. Each step leads to a new feeling...each symbol is the order in which they will/are/have been happening?

Tell me what you think??

Also, if you find anymore interpretations that I missed (maybe it will fill in some gaps) please just comment me and let me know about 'em.
