The snake shedding its skin and messy rooms is an interesting connection. I had a discussion on house dreams here (https://www.theartemisian.com/p/discussion-house-symbolism-in-dreams/comments), but in short, living spaces (including rooms) may speak to the nature of the psyche, a representation of certain psychological dynamics, with each room having different representations. If you're going through (or have gone through) a metamorphosis of some kind, it would make sense to have dreams of cleaning up messy rooms (getting things in order, clearing out what is no longer needed, etc).
The leg dream seems quite intense! Are you at all distressed during those dreams?
Yes. I wake up and it's not even 3am. I dream I'm apologizing to my landlord and they seem to be okay. In real life, I'm very nervous and deep pressured to adapt constantly so I can keep up with the new phase of things. Hard to relax now... My work is like 24/7, trying to call people about quotes for jobs, etc.
Interesting, perhaps the wounded leg speaks to that anxiety, possibly feeling that you are without grounding, not able to walk on steady feet? Not only that, but the bleeding makes me wonder if there’s a major drain on energy/life source from the stress as well.
There is an energy drain. I am under pressure to produce visible results. If I rush things, it makes matters worse. If i am slow, I'm seen as inept. My work determines whether I get to stay here or I'm forced to move to a place that could be hellish.
That sounds really stressful. The dream shows you're trying to address that drain/wound but it's clearly not a permanent fix. Walking and leaving the blood tracks, acting as if it is okay/ I wonder if the dream is trying to help you approach the situation in a different way, something that would heal the wound?
Yes, you are correct. Today was not a good day, but it was full of drama. I answered the phone wrong 630am, got yelled at. A contractor's helper fell off a cliff and was badly injured. Not here! My phone had to be reset and everything was lost. I wonder what I will dream tonight.
Keep an eye out and write down what you remember when you wake up. Sometimes we receive quite striking dreams after stressful/intense days. I spoke about it here if you're curious: https://www.theartemisian.com/p/dreamwork-in-practice-2
Life's weird. I definitely will note that. I lost lots of junk on my phone.
