anyhow, the stones worked to strengthen the shield, and it couldn't get through.

When I was going to bed last night, I tried to figure out what my dream meant. I have a habit of putting up 'shields' mentally, and I know water almost always means emotion for me. I understood most of it, but the fox was an 'unknown' and in my dream, I perceived it as a potential threat.
So I decided that I might be blocking off something that I need. I destroyed my shields, leaving myself 'open', and I went to sleep.

I had another dream.
The start included going to a party with Peter (a friend) and realizing I'd forgotten to wear underwear
and I was wearing a short dress too
so I asked the hostess for some, ((pleading with tears in your eyes always works))
so I got some, along with seran wrap, and brown paper.
Anyhow, no one showed up to the party,
and pretty much everyone went to sleep.
So I went home with Peter in a taxicab.
We stopped near the house of one of his friends (which happened to be a previous house I lived in; the guy there is rumored to be a pedophile. I'm not sure if it's true or not; I've never met him.) And one of his guy friends got in the cab, called "Charlie" (the guy, not the cab).
He commented that I was chubby to Peter, I pretty much ignored him, and then he drew up a 'happy birthday' card for me "signed: From charlie" and gave me two others, one from another guy friend of his, and one from a girl. They had clues on it to do with moose and caribou, and it was supposed to lead me to a surprise.
I didn't trust them at all, and went in Peter's house with him.
We (Peter and I) caught them trying to take a couple chairs off his porch. They said it was for the 'hunt' (surprise/treasurehunt) but they left them and went away.
They came back later, all three looking at us through his porch window. I then noticed it looked a lot like the glass shield in my other dream, and then I thought that maybe they were the foxes. I knew I'd lowered my defenses, so they were able to get in.
(btw, charlie had a lot of shaving-stubble on his face. Didn't really see the faces of the other two; but the girl was blonde).

Anyhow, when they came in, they said to Peter (who, in a humorous way, looked like Randall at this point) that they've decided to let him off the hook, as long as they could 'have' me, ten or so times.
I was having a dream-OBE at this point, and I saw myself freaking out and doing the fetus-curl (almost sounds like a dance-move)
and Peter/Randall said that he'd kill them if they came near me.
they left, with some mutterings (I think) and he went towards me, kneeled down and talked to me, said he'd went through the same thing, and he wouldn't let anything happen to me. He said I should call a cab, because I wasn't safe there.
he went over to the other side of the room, and I was going to call one, and then started daydreaming
His phone rang. I looked around for it, expecting it to stop ringing. I think it rang seven times (six at the least) before I hit an -/0 button on it.
It was the three from before, and they said that they'd decided they'd kill him and take what was rightfully theirs.
They were then on the landing at the front door, with weapons (I think one had a mace).
they went after him, and he fled from them
I took some 'feather darts' (that looked more like yellow, black and red plastic thingies) and tried to hit them with some so they'd leave him alone.
during the commotion, his (Peter/Randall's) white cat fled from the downstairs, right near charlie. I was going to grab the cat, so that he couldn't hurt it, and I woke up.

Btw, sorry , I never intended for you to be in my dreams!

You have many animals in your dream! You are right about the fox, it represents a threat, a trick. The Moose and Caribou are "clues" as you stated. Moose represents self-esteem, Caribou represents strength, stamina, and sacrifice. These are the things you need. The white cat at the very end supports this theme. It symbolizes a combination of purity and femine energy, and also carries a sexual undertone. The dream indicates that this is something you feel you need to protect, perhaps because you know what it is to loose it.

Does this make sense? (I kind of hope not)

And, it does make sense,
Reminds me of a situation I was in with Peter, actually.
it could also be symbolic of my fears.

Thank you, Ra. *hugs*

Your statement and question have led me on a sort of spiral and I am not certain how to answer.

In that last interpretation, I should have used words/phrases like "could symbolize" or "can represent" instead of sounding so definitive. There are other meanings, of course, and I only presented the meanings that were presented to me. I suppose the meanings just come from everywhere.

So, I do not know how I know what it is that I know, I just know that whatever it is that I know is simply a reflection of what you know and how you know it.

So, how do you know what you know?
