Dream Analysis

On the advice of Kirsty I am trying out Dream Moods to unveil the secrets in my recent nightmares. So here goes:

Sheep Movie Dream
John Travolta (Actor) – represents my pursuit for pleasure.
Gabriel – the character played by JT (Trickster) – deceit or a cynical side of my character.
Gordon Ramsay (Celebrity) – represents my understanding of that celebrity. He’s a hero! *swoons*
Saving Lab Animals (Animals) – “saving” represents accepting own primitive personal nature. “lab” animals means I’m repressed in some way.
Sheep – I lack initiative and am afraid to go out on my own. :confused:
Terror – forewarns against disappointment and loss.
Stairs – if spiral – growth and rebirth
Lavish room – opulence and satisfaction in life.
White – purity, peace, new beginnings. Or if Eastern, death and mourning.

Hmm. Well, I’m cynical, but that’s not news. I was obsessed with GR so that’s true. I am repressed and limited at the moment with too much to do and too little time. I’m not a sheep! I think the stairs were more confusing that spiral. The White room Eastern style is probably accurate since the sheep died…

Volcano Resort Dream
Terror again – forewarns against disappointment and loss.
Panic – lack of control in my life
Guilt – undeserving of achievement or letting people down, or again repressing and negative feelings about myself.
Fear – lack of success with endeavours. Short lived though.
Vicious Dog (though it was actually more scared) – inner conflict, betrayal and untrustworthiness
Wolf – if killing it (I was catching it) means betrayal and secrets revealed.
Professor – higher learning and wisdom – I will have success in some field.
Teacher – seeking advice, seeking approval, going through a time when you feel like you’re treated like a student. Hmm, funny that…:rolleyes:
Relatives – family issues, some aspect of self.

Panic is spot on right. I hope Terror isn’t too. Guilt is right – I felt guilty for having a fight with my mum and saying stupid things that hurt her. That explains the Relatives one too. Hunting down the betrayer is eerily correct as I was let down by a friend they day before that dream. Not sure what my Lecturer meant. Seeking approval is probably important since I went back to apologise to him. The Teacher option says “Consider your own personal experiences with that particular teacher. What subject was taught?”. He stands at the front of the lectuer theatre drinking coffee, making witty comments that border on patronising and talking about horse gut problems. He was nice to me once when I was late though so maybe I have him as someone to turn to when volcanos errupt and I lose my bag…

I think some bits of a cookie-cutter dream analysis is right as there are only limited meanings of some symbols like Fear and White. However a lot of those symbols mean more to me than just “Actor” or “Teacher”. Gordon Ramsay for example I associated with good emotive TV and a good gossip about the show with my mum afterwards. JT’s character in Swordfish is a complicated villain – in my dream I didn’t hate the villain because I always root for the bad guy in films, and Gabriel was no exception.

Ok, either the footie’s started or the neighbours are finally giving in and throttling their children.
