Dreamt I was on an inflatable raft (solo) and were traversing an underground river, very fast flowing. There were other people on other rafts in my 'group' too and we going upstream. We reached a low, powerful waterfall and our rafts came up to the top of it (against the current, mind you) and there was a fissure in the rock where other people held out their hands to grab us, pull us off our rafts and into the safety of the cave beyond the fissure which led above ground.

Just before we exited the caves to the above ground, a man announced that of the 6 groups of us, 4 groups had returned, 1 group was missing and just half of the last group had returned. It was a somber, very sad moment and the man announced there would never be another expedition.

Once above ground we all went into tents and it was raining, I pulled down my tent from the inside and packed into a car with a whole heap of other people (including Robbie Williams, lol).

Strange dream, I've had weirder but this really affected me, the fear of the low waterfall I was going up was intense. I knew if I didn't get into the fissure I would fall back and drown in the powerful current. Thank god for those helping hands!

After this dream I woke up for about an hour then drifted back off and dreamt again.

I dreamt I was in the city and I went into a shopping centre that was closing but my friends and I stayed anyway to buy outfits. After that we were at my best friends house and I stuck my finger up at the pisces (he lives next door in reality) and he didn't see but his girlfriend did. I apologised and said that it wasn't to her and she came over with a friend of mine. In the dream my friend was her friend too (in reality they live 3000 kms away and theres no way they would ever meet). Our 'mutual' friend didn't take sides (there are no sides) and strangely enough the girlfriend seemed to morph into my friend and she wanted me to draw a fake tattoo on her arm, then use the same texta to do her lipstick so she could go out and I did.

Yeah that last one was weird.

The first dream suggests movement of energy/material from unconsciousness (underground) into conscious awareness (above ground). It looks as if you are fighting against (upstream/against current) unconscious and/or emotional energies of a "powerful" nature, fearful of being overwhelmed by them (fear of waterfall). Do not hesitate to take a "helping hand" with these powerful undercurrents that are flowing in your life, as they manifest. (probably as emotion)

It is suggested that, with a little help, these "darker" forces/energies will be exposed to the light of day, to your awareness, and their effect will be temporary (tent) as you are cleansed of them (raining).

In the second dream I suspect that the city symbolizes your psyche, shopping symbolizes choice/need, and buying outfits symbolizes a change in your outer persona. This appears to be related to pisces-boy and his girlfriend.

Putting it together, the dream seems to reflect your need to change your mind about pisces-boy (which you have?), and the fact that his "other girlfriend" is no different than you and is probably receiving the same treatment as you did (tattoo).

Could these dreams be suggesting that you are still working through the break-up with pisces-boy? Perhaps you are effected in ways that you are not fully aware of? Perhaps there are still a few strings yet to cut?

What do you think?

I was denying to myself I ever loved the pisces, but thats not true cos I did (and still do, bu99er it!) but I have support to get over it though if I'm just honest with myself about my feelings.

Found out a few things about the pisces a few days ago that left me reeling but able to let go of a lot of anger.
He sat at my best friend's house til 4.30am a few weeks ago cos he didn't want to go home to his girlfriend. She's his first ever girlfriend, he met her when he signed up to online dating. She drives 3 hours each way to see him almost every weekend and after I found out about her and lost the plot she didn't come up the next weekend, the weekend after that was the night he didn't want to go home and sat at my best friends with her husband. The one time he ever went there was with me, he hardly knows them but he lives next door.
My best friend has now revised her opinion of him and says he is very sweet and he knows he did wrong by me and feels bad. She gave him a huge serve, lol. At least I wasn't wrong about what kind of person he really is.
It hurts me that he's still not happy though.

The night my best friend told me about that (2 weeks after it happened, lol) I had another dream I woke up from feeling unbelieveably light. I'd let go of so much anger towards so many people and felt about 50kgs lighter. I cried all that day, even at work but it was nice crying not bad crying.

I dreamt I was up in a bi-plane and having fun, but I saw a plane shaped like a football with wings and I said to the pilot to stay away from it cos everytime I dream of this plane it crashes (and everytime I DO dream of it it crashes). The plane came closer and closer and everything went dark when it hit us and I felt pain in my body.
I thought, I know I'm dead but please don't let this be the afterlife, let it end or change.
After a few moments the pain ended and I opened my eyes to find myself in a weird though beautiful kind of garden with a meandering path down the centre. It wasn't the garden that struck me, but the overwhelming sense of love I felt encompass me from every single direction.
I woke up crying cos I've never felt such love, I felt strength from that love too.

I'm so much stronger for that dream. Kinda peaceful and accepting of the ways things are, whatever that is.

This kind of dream, especially the second part about the garden, does not necessarily lend itself well to a per-symbol type of translation, but it is evident that we are seeing a reflection of the anger and pain you are releasing, and growth that you are undergoing. This dream is more aout the experience, the feelings, the soul-felt connections within it. It does not really need to be analyzed, simply felt ... and you certainly did feel it.

I am curious about the first part of the dream ... can you tell me more about the football shaped plane? Do you know if it is truly a plane, or could it be something else, like a missile or something? How often do you dream about this plane, or since what age?

I usually dream of seeing it over the ocean and it ALWAYS flips upsidedown and lands in the water. Sometimes I'm on the plane and I escape and help others to escape, other times I see it crash from the beach and pull survivors out of the water.

Also, I get the feeling that this recurring airplane has something to do with past-life experience, perhaps related to pisces-boy.

How do you feel about that?

Please take a look if you have time, I'd appreciate any input you have.
