Something had happened to the world. Something nearly apolocolyptic - or at least it seemed that way. Life had changed quite a bit. For a while I was stuck in a bookstore of sorts. I don't know what I was doing there but there were massive bookshelves. I was doing well there for a while but all of a sudden there were two massive hungry dogs in there. I guess their owners had died. They wanted to attack me because they were hungry. I jumped to the top of the bookcases to get away from them and jumped from one to the other until I was near the door. Eventually, I managed to find a moment when they weren't close enough to get me and I jumped down, out of the door, and turned around and locked it. It was at night and I was outside on the sidewalk at a strip mall type place. I was barefoot and dressed all in black. I had on a long gypsy type skirt made of layers of sheer fabrics and a peasent type shirt that was off the shoulders with volumnous sleeves. I turned around and looked at the empty parking lot and I thought it was about time I came back to the world anyway because it needed me. I started walking over the asphalt in my barefeet slowly and I enjoyed the way it felt. I was caught up in the physical sensations of being human. I saw a gang of young people coming towards me. They were probably in their late teens and early twenties and very rowdy. They were dressed like young, retro 80's pirate rockstars with the little hairstyles that are so popular now. A couple of them were breaking store windows with firey projectiles. The other couple of people that had been outside quickly ran for safety upon seeing the gang. I stopped walking and stared at them. I had absolutely no fear of anything - I was there (in the World again) for a purpose. The leader noticed me first and he and a few others approached, spewing off idle threats to scare me. They were surprised I didn't move or speak or anything. In fact, for some reason even though I could speak I didn't. I had to save any words I spoke for something vitally important and these kids were so far beneath me I didn't need to waste my voice on them because they probably wouldn't understand it. But I did need them for at least a little while to find out where all the other people were. They surrounded me and by now were entertained that I didn't run from them, entertained I was barefoot, entertained I was female and beautiful and entertained by the fact that I seemed either mute or dumb. The leader turned and started walking towards the street because they were all expected somewhere. The rest started to follow but I put my hand on one of their shoulders and turned him around. I touched his face and then kissed him. Alright alright so he kinda looked like one of these guys:  WHAT-EV! So he went all gah gah on me and wanted to bring me along. The leader gave permission and I was walking with them through city streets. The boy I kissed tried to get me to talk to him but I wouldn't and sometimes I wouldn't even let him know I understood him at all which made him want to communicate with me more. We went to a large underground bunker type place. It was packed with people dancing and drinking and doing drugs to escape the fact that the world had turned into a real life Mad Max movie. I sat down with my temporary gang and I was just studying people. One older gentleman came up to me, bowed before me and grasped the hem of my skirt near my bare feet and kissed the hem, saying he knew why I was there and he'd waited and waited for me for so long. My gang scared him away but I was pleased by that display and I decided I should speak soon. IP: Logged |

I'm no dream interpreter but have you noticed that in your dream you are a survivor, adaptable and resorceful?
the bookstore shows you are searching for answers.
and deciding to speak is to commit on an issue.
maybe its that april 9th birthday  IP: Logged |

I read this dream and just don't know what to think.  You have some of the most awesome, interesting dreams ... the detail, sensations, and story lines are all just so ... well, interesting! I'll have to let this one settle in a bit.  IP: Logged |

My impression was that you have experienced enough in your life to be quite aware of how men's insecurities compel their desires.
It seems you have possibly tapped into the feeling of power that comes from this awareness. The power you could sway over them through strategic psychological manipulations.
It's an easy game, once you know what it takes. You could choose to use it, or choose not to be drawn in yourself and transcend it in more positive ways. If you feed your ego by using the power,
you might be denying your own insecurities that might be the reason that you choose to use the power...which possibily would be influenced by a need to be accepted as desireful yourself.
It might be a profound time because your future will be affected by your choices of integrity that you make now in love. Tread carefully. 
Just some impressions I felt from the dream. Not saying they're true for you...only you would know. Just some thoughts.  edited to add~
not saying that there isn't a side to the power that is positive...the sexual intrigue and mystery...the confidence in coming to awareness of your own feminine power. It can be very liberating. IP: Logged |

Great thoughts Lialei. Thank you so much for the input.Something had happened to the world. ... Life had changed quite a bit. Perhaps this is a reflection of an internal change, a change within yourself. The dream could suggest that you have been learning about yourself, in a sort of forced state of introspection (stuck in bookstore). Now, perhaps, circumstances have "forced" you back into the "world". I was caught up in the physical sensations of being human. This could reflect a newness of perspective, a re-disovery of feeling/sensation that perhaps you had lost touch with. And your reaction to/handling of the young gang of 80's pirate rockstars (which you may be able to identify with) suggests that you have outgrown this phase of being. You know you are much more than that old pattern. You feel/know, at least unconsciously, that you are here, in the World, for a purpose. You realize that the past you lived was necessary to get you to where you need to be now and in the future - it was a part of your growth process. (I did need them for at least a little while.) The dream could suggest that this current phase in your development may require you to save your energies, to learn how not to dissipate your energies over things that are "beneath you", so when the time comes for you to act, you will be ready, and you will be certain. Kind of vague I know, but what do you think about this? IP: Logged |
