Sometimes I believe dreams are just nonsense; random thoughts that seem to pop in your head as you sleep... but others, I think have substance and meaning...and this dream I had, just feels as if it meant something but I can't quite figure out what. I want opinions! Okay-- my dream started out that I was in a house, and I was trying to take shelter from a storm. I was in a cellar at the house for a while [this house looked like no house I've ever been inside] -- and as the storm subsided, we emerged from the cellar. [I also, dont remember who was with me in the dream.] As I emerged, I was still frightened... I went into the house, and checked it out. I found what looked like a stairway leading to a basement, but there were boards over head...like a low ceiling. I decided to try it out, and go downstairs--- as I ducked and began to go downstairs it became smaller and smaller, and the stairs seemed to become a ramp instead of steps... I began to slide myself down the ramp, and the ceiling was getting so low that I was squished, almost suffocating trying to squeeze myself downstairs. I got scared and tried to squeeze myself out. When I finally did the hallway in which the "stairwell" was located got smaller and I had to FORCE and SQUEEZE myself out of the hallway, and ended up in a kitchen. The kitchen was normal size and didn't get smaller. But as I was in the hallway trying to squeeze through, again, I felt breathless and as if I was suffocating. When I DID arrive to the open area of the kitchen, I felt free and relieved. And that's where it ended. Anyone have any ideas of what this could mean? It has been nagging me since I had it ---which was almost 2 weeks ago.
Although, I do not see anything as a "message from the spirit realm", maybe it is a psychological "message" that you are going to find the release for yourself and feel free, not only inside yourself, but outside as well. But, first you must be "squeezed" of all the conditioning (artificial stuff) that is holding you back. Your mind is expanding into new areas and the old boxes can't hold it. What once seemed to fit or even appear large, now appears small--like a child revisiting their old home. Once you get free, get to the "kitchen" you can "eat". - LIBERTINE
I think this dream is very symbolic. The abandoned house is the rubble and chaos in your life and you squise you way out like in the birthcanal being reborn into a life a room of plenty like the kitchen. Choose well and eat the right things, meaning do the right things in your life. Hope my explanation makes sense.
yeah, actually--- it sort of dawned on me, that i think it has a lot to do with that I was feeling trapped in my relationship. I recently broke up with my boyfriend and... I think it was just my head telling me to get out of it, and breathe. I felt extremely suffocated in my relationship. Makes sense totally.
cellar, basement - subconscious, something hidden, where secrets are held house - new situation, may denote your self image going down - depression squeezing, boarded ceiling - circumstances beyond your control ramp - free fall, helplessness forced squeeze - by sheer willpower you will extricate yourself from intolerable situation kitchen - nourishing situation
