Dream II
The other one was in a military base, some terrorists had hidden bombs and we were all running to get out because they started to explote, again, I had to go and save this black baby that was not mine but nobody would turn to get him and all I can remember was hearing the army boots of all these men as they were running and I didn't have any shoes so I was looking at my bear feet running towards the baby and thinking how could these people run any faster than me with those heavy boots, I could also hear the bombs in the back but again even know I was scare I did what was right.Then I woke up.

Dream III
Yesterday I had a dream I was at some industrial park at night and there was a railroad that crossed this place, I was walking by it and was scare , I could feel this guy following me all of the sudden before he could get me I appear at a hotel room (seems like) and his body drops on the floor just went he was going to get me , he was laying face down so I walked around him and pushed him over to see who he was, I noticed he had long nails in his hands and that made me think of some kind of vampire, when I pushed him over I saw his face and it was my brother (the one that just passed) and he was dead on the floor, I can remember how cold and errie it was to see how his liveless body would move back and forth as I was turning him, but besides the fact of being scare at first I was releived that I wasn't being attacked and confused as why he would attack me.
The long nails were creepy.

Dream IV
I went back to that house I know but never been in it, It has been a while since I dream of it , again in my dream I am trying to get to a hidden floor I know contains more rooms and it is very nice but I can't get the way to get to it, the elevator can't stop on this floor and the stairs leads you somehwere else.But yet I know and I have been there , I know there is a way.
I don't find it, once again.

so, could these dreams be a sharp reminder that there are some important parts of yourself you need to take notice of? Perhaps it is time to recognise your shadow self (vampire bro)before it arrives unannounced, like a tornado or army, in your life?

i also have had one significant bare foot dream, it proceded an important time of cleansing in my life, a time that was quite difficult but really healing (heel-ing haha) in the long run.

as for saving self/others, i would suggest the difference is not so great... how can we find a space to welcome and nurture the innocent child within our friends, colleagues and family when we do not have time for that child inside ourselves?

Melinda, thank you for sharing those great thoughts.

Let's see, the way I see it, 'Dream I' could have to do with an unknown part of yourself which is just beginning to emerge, to develop (black baby), perhaps as the result of powerful emotional energies or other tumultuous activities in your life (tornados).

'Dream II' is nearly identical in meaning to the first. Sudden, drastic change in your life (bombs exploding) is giving rise to a previously unknown part of yourself (black baby), some new talent, ability, way of living, thought-form, etc.

'Dream III' ... It is not your brother who is attacking you, rather, it is his memory and the painful feelings anent his passing which are "assulting"/pursuing you. Thinking about your brother can be an emotional drain, thus the vampire association.

In 'Dream IV', the house is your psyche, and so the dream suggests that you are seeking to expand/discover parts of yourself that you know exist within you but have yet to fully manifest. I have a sneaking suspicion that you will eventually "find it".

What do you think?

Yes, I think (and I hope) you are right about dream IV, I know that dream very well, and I know what I am searching for I will find.Although in times I get down and I don't feel the same.

The two first ones seem to go with dream IV, part of my lessons.

but the dream with my brother was something new for sure, it was also around the 1 month anniversary of his death; although I didn't realize that until after I had the dream.
It was either one day before or one day after.
