What have you been dreaming of lately?
Dreams give us direct access to the inner workings of the psyche. They act as a powerful bridge to the unconscious realm, unveiling the subtle dynamics and influences at play. When we engage the images and symbols of our dreams, we create a thread of dialogue that can shift our point of view, reveal opportunities for development and bring clarity to areas of life that feel stagnant.
Join today’s discussion to explore a dream, contemplate its meaning and receive guidance. Share a dream in the comments along with any insight, questions and considerations. I’ll be offering some reflections1 (utilizing an archetypal and symbolic perspective).
This is an open forum and communal exchange - feel free to comment on other dreams if you’re inspired or have an insight to share.
I am working on an oil rig type thing. (Large floating building in the middle of water) We're working on a very important technology or some sort of solution in vials. We're competing with other companies and we are winning.
The oil rig type thing sinks down, shark-infested waters. Sabotage?
Our work is in a treasure chest that sinks down.
Me and another guy are trying to save it, but water starts filling up the area.
I realize I have to choose between the treasure chest or my own life.
I give up on trying to save the treasure chest and the other guy is still trying. I leave him and the chest to come up for air.
I'm on a raft in the water with small waves. I know I'm next and I'm going to die, but I'm not ready for it yet. A man sits on my raft and sits closer and closer to me until he pushes me off my raft and I fall into the water. On the raft behind me, a man sits on his own and I try to hold on a little, but I know I can't hold on to his. I let go of his raft, I let the water swallow me.
I'm at the very beginning of a new relationship that has a different dynamic than my previous relationships. I'm learning to be vulnerable and not to be distantly attached, but to let myself fully immerse myself emotionally in this new relationship.
