Sorry, I know it's long. But interesting? Yes. I enter my school from the first floor entrance. However, the building is suddenly ridiculously huge, with at least 20 floors. I don't think this is strange in the dream though. I put my backpack in one of the small square lockers in a huge wall of lockers (presumably where everyone puts their things). I turn around and see one of my friends, who I'm in love with (but no one needs to know that..), call him "Bob," lieing in a small alcove in one of the walls. He's wearing headphones and acknowledges me by waving. (Note: I was out driving a day ago and saw him walking down the street with earphones.. he didn't see me.. any correlation?) For some reason I don't go over to say hello to him, possibly because I feel I am in a rush. The dream shifts to the end of the day. In the dream, I remember spending the day with my friends at a carnival-esque setting and having a good time. However, it's almost as though I've just woken up and can't really figure out how I got to the place I'm in (the 20th floor of the building). I look around and everyone is running down the staircases frantically. There are police officers ushering people down. The building is being evacuated. I start running down a staircase that no one seems to be going down for some reason. It seems safe to me so I just keep going. Suddenly the stairs start turning into really long and curving slides, like in a playground. I run/slide down these slides until I reach the 2nd floor. This is where everything converges onto one short, yellow, dirty slide that is electric and moves you (sort of like an escalator except in slide form). I don't know if I should cut in line but people seem to be stopped and there's space for me to jump in line. One of the girls I dislike because she's a jerk beckons me to get in line. So I do. The entire slide is packed with people as I get on. We start going down and I'm going very fast and end up jamming me feet into the girl in front of me. I notice specifically that I'm wearing old, beat up sneakers like the ones I have in my waking life. I look up and see that the boy I like, "Bob", is in another alcove opposite the slide, lieing down with his headphones on again. He yells, but in a playful tone, "Hey! You almost skewered her with your feet!" I eventually get off the slide. I think of asking "Bob" why he isn't trying to get out of the building but instead go to get my backpack out of the wall of lockers. In my dream, I seem to wake up from this dream. I'm lieing on my couch (where I had fallen asleep in real life). It's a very strange feeling, waking up in a dream and thinking it's reality! I even felt groggy in the dream! It seems to be dusk outside (I had fallen asleep at 11am). There are lights on above my computer desk in the room with the couch. However, there are no lights on in the kitchen (which is an adjoining room) or, from what I can tell, anywhere else in the house. There are candles in the kitchen acting as lights. I think there may have been a storm that put the lights out. I make a point of not leaving the room with the couch. Suddenly my grandparents come in from somewhere inside my house. My grandmother tells me she has a chicken dish and a pie for me for dinner. She pulls out the pie and it's huge, maybe 3 feet in diameter. It's a cherry pie. I decide that when they leave I'm going to eat some of the crust. They don't explain why the lights are off or why they're in my house but eventually leave. The dream changes locations and I'm in a huge, huge open space, maybe a parking lot. (Note: In this part of the dream I felt very uncomfortable, like I wasn't supposed to be there. I had this feeling of dread, almost.) In the distance I can see fires and a line of trees. There are some cars every so often. It's night now. I'm leaving my house with my uncle, this huge parking lot suddenly just outside my front door. We walk to the closest car. There is a wooden stall set up next to it, selling alcoholic drinks. There is a boy there, about my age, wearing a hooded sweatshirt. However, I never really get a good look at him. My uncle tells me his name is Jonathon, his screename is JoJoNo5 (no idea where that came from..) and that I'm to go on a date with him right here and right now. I don't think this is strange and sit on the car he's already sitting on. We talk and he seems nice. However, I think he's stupid. He offers me a drink and takes me into the wooden stall. It's very small and a tight fit. He gives me three drinks, one pink, one golden, and one that looks like water. I don't drink any of them and instead stick them in my pockets. Later on, however, I go back to the wooden stall alone and get what in the dream I think is "Cerveka" (I think I may have "mispronounced" cerveza in my dream) which is a sparkling, pink alcohol. I taste it and it is very sweet. It tastes sort of like sangria and cherries without the bite of alcohol. We go back to the car and he starts working on something intently. I ask him what he's doing and he says homework. I find this odd and believe he must never do his work and is probably very lazy. However, I look at the paper and he's doing extremely complicated math that I don't understand. I'm surprised. His teacher suddenly pops up from behind a car and talks about the missing homework to him. She doesn't actually seem to mind, like he doesn't really need to do it. The boy, Jonathon, seems nice so I offer to help him with his homework. He thanks me and tells me I can design a t-shirt for him. I think it's odd that this is homework. The date is about to end and suddenly Jonathon turns into an AOL IM window. The words "goodbye, I'll talk to you later" come up on the window and the window then flies away. I want to stay in touch with him but can't remember his screename so I run after the flying window to see if I can catch the name. There are other windows now, all flying in the same general directions. I ask one of them where they're going and if they know Jonathon. The window says that it doesn't know and that Jonathon is coming back this way. I see his window and am able to read the name. He then flies away again. This is when I actually wake up. Hopefully :wink: Creative title, no? Haha. Any help explaining what's going on in my mind would be appreciated.
I noticed in the dream there are a couple of places where things don't feel right to you, such as the building being "impossibly huge" or when you are in the huge open space. Maybe your unconscious is telling you that something in your life "just isn't right".
Yeah I can definitely understand where you're coming from. I can't, however, think of anything specific that really isn't right. I'm not in any bad or strange situations right now. Maybe a warning then?
dotyoureyes dotyoureyes In spirit, at one time, you were elevated and through time you have come to fall and slide to a lower level of spirituality. Once upon a time you went to church and followed the ways of God. Your spirit has been depressed. You're hiding in the shadows from the One you love. You realize the unending power of heaven, but you're also "following the pack" and going with the flow and leaving what you once knew. Police officers are the enforcers of the law, in a spiritual sense, the law is the Word of God. Officers are invading this building and administering the Word of God, some flee for fear of having to obey. The one you love is making notice of what you do with your feet - He's noting the path you've chosen to take. The one you love is in the "building" (place that contains many in spirit), because he cannot be moved). lol Your "candle" is the only light in your life, a remnant of the past and the spiritual path you once had. Your grandmother, or the ways of those who came before you, are feeding you and keeping that candle lit. Your house (is that which contains you in spirit), and you've shown that in spirit you're respectful of the past, but you lack understanding of why those in the past followed the way of the Word, so you feel confused about it. The parking lot is a place where many with varying attributes are in spirit. What was the color of the car in your dream? Which pocket did you place the drinks in? You should mind your homework, in the spiritual sense, and read the Word. Jonathon is covered up, but Jonathon IS the message. Jonathon means "Yahweh has given." You've been given a message that you need to return to the beliefs held by those who came before you, or you risk a great fall. "the window" is that which you look through to see outside of yourself. You follow what you see outside of yourself, and it leads you to the window that Yahweh has given. God bless, Lightsleeper
