So firstly as you can see im new here, i was looking for a place to share my dreams and this looked like a good place So lets start. This one happened along time ago but i still remember a few parts of it, the dream felt to real for my taste. There seemed to be a great war, a lot of warriors around me, arrows falling like rain, i was outside a great city up high in the mountains, or so it seemed, im assuming i was the one defending the city as me and quite a lot of other warriors were near the gate where the enemy was heading to, there was also a small patch of land infront of the wall and then a steep cliff downward id say it was atleast 10-20km deep as i could see forests down there and an ocean in the far back all a bit cludy and fogy. Arrows were comming from the valley below and there was a wooden bridge leading to the other side. The weird thing was that even though there were only swords and arrows there was an old and very rusty flak gun on the other side of the bridge at the end of the cliff, i've added a rough picture of the area i was in, if i was a great artist i think i would manage to draw it quite detailed, unfortunately im not. Im suprised i still remember it so well since i dreamt this atleast 2 years ago. There wasnt much close fighting, just a few enemy soldiers near the gate, the most intense were the arrows but they were mostly aimed inside the city. i wish i knew what this dream ment, it felt so real, even the andrenaline like the war was really happening, there wasnt any dialog except the war crys and the sounds of battle. Ok on to the next weird dream that i also still remember and happened quite a long time ago. Yet a nother great war going on this time it was on top of two mountains quite close to each other, both deeply covered in snow, i for some reason looked a bit like jesus, we were inside the mointain while the war raged outside, it was like a cave with small windows, i dont remember feeling the cold though, the weird thing was i seemed to be important as all the warriors in that room respected me. The room seemed somewhat like a mess hall, few wooden tables, all mostly full with exausted warriors, i was sitting at this table with a few other warriors, i felt calm, no fear or any other emotions that could be connected to war, a woman brought me a wooden cup with milk, bread and i think there was honey in it, suprisingly i remember a mild taste of it. the warriors at the table were all looking at me as if i was a great man ( i guess the next part will explain that). Well i finish my meal, if i can call it that, and went tworads the outside i was dressed in a robe, it was greyish white, i come to the exit and go outside, there was a bit of a blinding light at first, like my eyes needed a few seconds to adjust. Then i find my self standing on the snow, warriors around me keeping low looking twoards the other mountain, thats when i see, i dont know but there was certainly about a 1000 arrows shot directly at the area i was at, they hit all around me, none of them hit me, now there comes a second wave of arrows, this time i somehow raise my hands and block them in mid air, once this happened it seems we also had lots of archers as at that point a few seconds after i blocked the arrows, there was a nother wave except this one was heading for the other mountains. at this point i can not remember any further or i forgot how it went on. These dreams made me wonder what my subconcious mind was trying to tell me but i never shared them with anyone. Ok last one, and if you read so far then i thank you for your time. This one happened today, obviusly there was some connection to last nights long session of playing L4D (Left 4 Dead) weirdest of them all and i think it doesnt have any actual meaning. well i was walking on this long roadwith fields on both sides, its an actual place nearby where i live, i was with this girl, black haird cant remember her face or atleast i cant describe it but it wasnt anyone i knew. well we kept going till we reached a town thats a bit up to road, thats when the L4D part kicked in, suddenly lots of zombies swarmed and i was staping them with a wooden stick that was perhaps the lenght of a broom stick, well i kept stabbing them then that stupid smoker showed up, i jumped and he missed me lol thats wehen there was less zombies around us, so we went a bith further and found weapons, yeh lol, the ones from L4D, i grabed that auto shotgun, got rid of a lot of wandering zombies near by and then took the assault rifle, at this time a nother person came up from the nearby house and he introduced hymself, he sayd his name a bit quietly but i heard it, he sayd hes name is Captain Nemo and i was like excuse me? and then he sayd some other name but more luder, cant remember that one, well we all introduced ourselves, never heard the girls name. At this time i woke up, but it was early in the morning so i just turned around and fell back asleep, the dream then continued somewhat, this time me and some other guy, i can only guess it was Captain Nemo lol, were going back down that long road surrounded by fields, we were looking for something, it wasnt zombies but something else, we got half way on the road when a truck suddenly appeared behind us, we moved out of the way ( i forgot to mention that me and this guy were fairly dressed in combat equipment). The truck kinda started to drive like it was trying to avoid hitting something and thats when it fliped on the side, thats also when i hear the girls voice that i was with before, she was driving the truck, well we helped her out and we all went on till we reached that small bridge at the crossroad ( looked like in real life, as well as most of the surroinding enviroment, except for those werid holes on the hill nearby). At this pint a nother person joins us, and we start discussing how to get on top of that hill to stop something, suddenly some weird creatures that i never really had a good look at, started running twoards us from all sides, we ofcourse were all armed with guns, i remember myself holding an MP5, and we got them all, now the girl asks me how were going to get out of here and i say "well i lots all my transportation but, let me try something" and then i go a bit away from the rest, pull out my phone call this number 8818818 get some army guy on the phone and request backup, the guy on the phone then says that were stretched out on all lines and it we do get reinforcements its going to take atleast 2 hours. I go back to the others tell them this and at this time the second wave comes, more of them then the first time, we stopped them all and the i proposed we start digging a trench for better protection, they started digging near the road to make the trench weh i sayd " why dont we make a round tranch were we'll be able to cover aour back and be better protected" they all agreed and started digging ( we dug the trenches with those army showels that can be packed up) at this pint i woke up again, unfortunately it was about time to get up so i could continue the dream. If you manage to interpret some parts please do, otherwise im just glad i could share all this with someone Thanks for reading!
what i find interesting is that all of these dreams entail some type of warfare/conflict, have hills/mountains in them and a pathway leading out (bridge, and even the small windows in the cave of the second dream) the arrows make me think of verbal attacks for some reason on an alchemical level, i could say that you've moved through the three stages and have reached solution with your final dream, but i'm not sure that sits right with me in regards to these dreams.....the first two are far more potent symbolically, while the last dream seems to be the result of too much gaming, lol, happens to the best of us what do these recurring symbols mean to you? you may find some insight by examining these things....if i come up with more i'll definitely let you know.......thanks for sharing!
I had dream with similar contexts long ago. I was 9 or 10 (25 now). I was on a small island lush with a rain forest scenery. The ocean surrounding the island was turbulent. Huge waves crashing around. A big wave was coming towards me, on top of it was a huge wooden viking boat complete with intricate carvings including the typical maiden adorning the bow. The boat crash ashore, and a wave of vikings came storming across the beach towards me. They had axes, spears, shields, bow/arrows, swords. The leader was in front, I remember him clearly: stout, red hair, dual horn helmet. I look down and see myself in the prone position behind cover, I have a machine gun aimed down line. I look to my right and I see a line of guys in camouflage hold the same rifle I am. I thought to myself, "These vikings have no chance against the technology we're packing." I thought that was similar to your flak cannon symbol. Last I can recall of that dream. Another thing, a mountain represents the male psyche. I can recall dreams making my way through trails up a mountain. Years later (was probably 16 or 17, I had another dream where the viking boat showed up. This time he was coming to my defense. We were on the same side, so I must've integrated him into my personality. What I've read in dream books, they say a viking type warrior represents the Hero archetype. It's what gives us courage, makes us leaders, and is a structure of our minds which we must integrate in order to have the resourcefulness and composure needed to meet life's challenges and demands, whether it be in the real world or dreams. In closing, violence seems to be a central symbol in your dreams. Conflict between aspects of yourself. The solution is harder than it sounds: Put the weapons down. Accept the opposition, and identify it/them as your own. I have already done this, since then I have not had a violent dream yet. For me, it was a matter of curiosity, compassion and willpower. The forces in us which arouse anxiety, fear, or anger must be identified and accepted as a parent would accept their child. Only then can these forces work for us instead of against us. I hope I added some insight to your dream.
I completely agree. Although outside interpretations may be helpful in determining meaning, ultimately only you can decide what your dreams are trying to tell you.
im sitting in sorta sun g0d robes on top of a pyrimad with 1000's of naked women yelling and throwing little pickles at me. I-ZOMBIE 'I'm 10% artificial and 90% pharmaceutical.''
