I had a very dark dream last night, ive been under a lot of stress recently and for some reason my dream both frightened me and caused me great relief. I dreamt I was back my university city but it was so dark around me. I'd gone into the town via a foot bridge over a railway where trains wear always speeding underneith even though it seems he absolute dead of night. There are no lights on the bridge and I'm trying to get to the otherside where I know a lit path leads to my flat. But it's such a struggle to get over this bridge because even my eyes seem clouded up with darkness and I'm feeling so opressed and sad. I finally manage to flail through the dark to the otherside but theres a gate before the building where my flat is and a group of threatening men are lurking round the gate calling me all sorts of hideous and sexual insults. I decide to face up to my fear of them and barge through the gate. I get to my flat which I share with other people, only they're not the real people who would be there in real life. I get to my room and theres a woman in fur dressing gown sitting on my bed, with two abnormally large cats on the bed next to her. I have a weird sense of relief when I pet the cats but they're not really cats somehow, they've got human eyes. This makes me afraid and I ask the woman angrily a really strange question: " The other me? Has she done it? Is she dead? You should know!" And I get images of my double not getting off the bridge and giving up and throwing herself off it. But the woman just tells me " you already know that answer." Any ideas? This has been the absolute most vivid of similar dreams of being lost in the dark in the last week or so. So some help would be appreciated.
Well, the darkness could represent the stress in your life, Bridges or any form of transportation is one step or phase of your life to another, so you get from one phase of your life through the obstacles and fight the darkness of your life through your courage and willingness. The men represent judgement, persecution and fear and getting past them represents your ballsy willingness to get through it all into your safehaven, your home. The woman is your self-doubt of guilt of what may have been had you not crossed the bridge or it could be that your dream is beckoning you to perform the tasks of facing life and you haven't. Hope I helped.
