I live in England, I have a home and family in America, rural Ohio, that’s where the dream took place. I sent this to my American step mother this morning. I was at the farm, just you and I, our kids and a bunch of other kids, some young, some a bit older, all girls. For some reason there were a bunch of other people living somewhere up the hill, they were foreign, spoke Russian or Eastern European. Something happened to their settlement, they lost almost everything, it was like they were workers to begin with but now they were refugees, we were trying to help them. Sorting out food. I went up the hill to ask them if they had any fresh stuff and talked to a girl, I really liked her, she said they were making tents but she’d lost all of her clothes. I wanted to give her mine but she was like 6ft 3 so I knew we wouldn’t have anything to fit her. When I came back to the house, you’d made a huge meal for us and all the children in the house. It was like a thanksgiving meal. I started plating some up to take to the girl Id met, glanced out of the window, it was dark by now and there was smoke just billowing across the sky. Realised that the Wilson house was on fire down the road, completely engulfed, it looked like Uncle Kevin’s beach house though. We both started to run down the drive way, but when I looked back all of the children were following us, so I had to go back and tell the older ones to look after the younger ones until we got back. You weren’t on the drive way anymore, so I ran really fast to try to catch up with you. Could hear women screaming, there was ash falling from the sky and it was just apocalyptic looking, black, purple and thick clouds and smoke. I ran past two dying pigs on our drive way, they were black ones, a mother and a yearling. As I got to the end of the driveway, it all changed. I was down an alleyway, with brick buildings either side of me and I was being sucked upwards to the sky. There was a missing brick on the wall to my right so I clung on to that but I was being pulled upwards by this invisible force until I was upside down. I knew I wasn’t supposed to be there and that if I let go of the wall before I figured out what was happening, I wouldn’t be able to get back to the farm. Was thinking maybe I’m dying right now, and this is how it feels, or maybe it’s aliens, but either way, I can’t go! Then I thought, maybe it’s a dream, I just need to wake up and I’ll be back on the farm. Started screaming out loud to wake up over and over. Then I woke up, expecting to be at the end of your driveway, but I was here instead and the room was spinning. She’s just text me back with the following. FYI, Jack is my youngest brother, Molly is his girlfriend... In very short versions I had 2 very lucid dreams as well 2 nights ago I dreamt jack and I were in an a old huge house that we bought. It caught fire. Will waiting"16" minutes for fire Dept a very tall 6 for plus skinny weird guy came running from the back of our property carrying a huge quartz Crystal he found The same night, Molly dreamt we had bought a huge old house to renovate and their were people living at the back of our property. She said we had a huge back porch and she could see them starting at us Last night I dreamt, you might want to sit down for this... I got off a boat somewhere and I was suddenly sucked up into the air. At first I was scared but whatever force pulled me up made me know it was ok. I shot straight up and I could see other people and circle of buildings in the air all lit up like a crown. The buildings would alternate flipping over but with ppl on it. It wasn't like a ride but I was moved all over the air up and down, sideways. It was scary at times but I was continually reassured ,somehow
Ok so a part I left out of mine because it didn’t make sense and I didn’t know how to explain it. When I went to see the people about food, they were in a really huge, old house, it didn’t make sense because when I walked up there I did it knowing that they’d lost their homes, but I didn’t find it odd that this house was there. Anyway, they were all milling about this big house, there was a room full of furniture and appliances, I assumed it was the stuff they’d managed to save. I spoke to an old lady who seemed to be organising everyone, but her English was bad, that’s when the really tall girl came to talk to me. On my way out of the house, I saw Barney (my dog) down a hole and had to go down there to grab him. When I tried to get out there was this staircase, but when I stepped on it, it started rotating and the tall girl said ‘not that one’, grabbed my hand and helped me on to a normal staircase. Then I walked back down the hill with the dog.x
What is your relationship with your step mother like? Could she represent someone you see as a protector? It’s possible that this dream has to do with dealing with big, possibly scary changes in your life and unconsciously wanting to go back to being a kid and having someone take care of everything for you. (I’m assuming you’re an adult now.) The dream about meeting the foreign refugees could have to do with you working hard to achieve something in your life and feeling like it has been for nothing. Did you recently move to England from America? Maybe it has to do with this. (I’m also American and live in England.) Food can be a symbol for emotional needs, so sorting food can signify trying to figure out what you really need in life. I think the girl represents something about yourself. As she’s so tall, she could represent things that are unavoidable – she’s so big you can’t miss her. The big Thanksgiving-like meal could represent security, but since you can see that it is really bad outside, it’s a fake sense of security. The children probably represent the innocent childlike parts of yourself that you want to protect from the big, cruel world. I knew I wasn’t supposed to be there – are you worried about having made the wrong choices in your life? Dying in a dream often represents a big change – the dream could be telling you that you need to make a change. Your step mother’s dream about the fire could have to do with believing that something that she or someone she knows has been working on could all “blow up in smoke”. If you are both very close, you could both be thinking about the same things. Keep in mind, though, that people are selective in their memories, so when one of you told the other about the dream, the second person may only remember the parts of their dream that they think they relates to the first person’s dream. Dreaming about a big house is really common, so I don’t think that, all else considered, more than one person dreaming about a big house is much more than a coincidence.
