The first dream is actually a couple of weeks old, but it was the first ocurrence of a new character that has shown up the last two days.
It starts with me and a bunch of girls in a changing room, like a sports changing room. It started like that, but it was sort of a "previous knowledge" that we were a class at some boarding school and that we were a sports team who had just finished a practise, what sport I don't know.
There was a laundry basket in the middle of the room were we threw our used clothes. Suddenly our coach storms in to the room and tells us to get our ***** moving and get our clothes in the basket.
I really didn't have any clothes to put in there, but I got a bit stressed out by his manner and threw in a pair of shorts that was dirty in the.. ehrm.. crotch area. I had planned to wash them myself because of the embarrasment involved. He went to get the basket, saw my shorts, picked them up, said "What's this?" and threw them back at me. He was quite a loud character, think in the lines of Gordon Ramsay, if you've seen him.
Later he came back and he had brought me a pair of jeans, a pair of black shoes and a pair of brown boots. I didn't have much clothes since I had lost most of it in transport to this place. He looked a little sheepish and just said he thought they were my size, and left. My friend next to me (no one I know) just gave me this incredulous look and I took quite alot of ribbing from the other girls, cause this was obviously not the first "favour" I had received from him and people always teased me about it. End dream.

Yesterday night started of with a short and sweet dream, I was shopping at a mall I know well, a familiar dream-mall so to say, I'm often there at night. This time I was at the game store. I work as security guard IRL and obviously this mall was a customer of my company, because I saw one of my supervisors at work in uniform, with a partner. Strange, because he rarely works "on the street" and certainly not malls since they're another department, but there he was still. He has quit his job and will be leaving soon, and good riddance I say, since he has messed up a lot the time he's been working my department, I'm not a big fan of his. But the thing was that in the dream we stopped to chat, and suddenly he kissed me. I saw it and twisted in the last moment so he "hit" me more on the corner of my mouth/low cheek. End dream.

Next dream same night me and someone else had shrunk and was trapped in an anthill in the woods near my house by some evil creature. I somehow got out and was normal sized again, but I was out in the small bay area where I live, and had to swim ashore and get back up to this anthill/burrow thing. By the time I got there that other friend was somehow no longer an issue, like I didn't need to rescue him/her. I went to look at the anthill that had now hardened somehow. It had a hard shell and something moved underneath. Suddenly it cracked open and inside was this black mass and something moved under it. I stuck my hands in there and pulled out a big, ugly snake, it had small, fleshy horns and fleshy horn-like spikes by its nostrils too and big curved fangs. I managed to lay its head on a stone and crack its skull (I don't know what with) and then continued to "scrape" it's head so that in the end it was just a flat piece of skin, but with the shape intact, horns and everything.

Next dream same night sort of picked up from this, it was but a short time later. I was now in a sportshall just on the other side of the football field where the "snake forest" lay on the other side. Some of the "feel" from the other dream also told me the pause was not long. Me and some others were playing some sort of ball game, and there was "Coach" again. Weird, since I've NEVER been much into sports, especially not team sports, actually I more or less hate it. Especially football, as it seemed like we were playing now. At one point he leaned in to talk to me, his cheek pressed to mine, I don't remember what he said, just the closeness. I also remember catching a ball with my hands and waiting to kick it back until he turned his back since I knew I sucked at football and probably would not hit it. I also remember him pulling me close some time, by taking hold of the waist of my pants in front and pulling me to his front. Not at all unpleasant. End dreams this night.

Last night "Coach" visited me again. Now we were at a bowling alley, a carpeted one actually, meaning that the lanes also were carpeted, hehe. It was very short, I was at a lane, he was on the far side, talking to someone, then my attention focused on some stupid woman bowling in the opposite direction nearly hitting me. End dream.

Same night, the most disturbing dream I've had for some years now I thing, closest thing to a nightmare I can remember, apart from the fact that I was never really afraid.
it started with my sister picking me up in a helicopter (!) in town. We flew a distance back to where I live, but she only flew like a few feet off the ground and she followed the car road. I thought this was really stupid. She stopped at a gas station were I was picked up by a couple of other guys and we continued to what felt like a hotel. An abandoned hotel actually, infested with zombie-like creatures. The guys that picked me up felt like some kind of task force with a mission to to something about these things. Don't know what I was doing with them, but I had my own gun, and while we were in the elevator we had our guns constantly pointed to the doors. At our level we pointed our guns in one direction each, left, right and straight ahead when we moved to get out. We made it to somekind of safe room, there was another guy there, tall, thin, scared guy. I didn't se those two others again. The room had wall to ceiling windows on one side, curtained. Outside this window was the roof of another part of the hotel building, and it was filled with stone pebbles. Outside these windows was a creepy, grey zombie-woman creature, which came closer to the window and started scrabbling and clawing at the window when it noticed activity in the room. This thin guy almost went hysterical and said "Shhhh, don't wake her!!". He actually spoke english. A while later I was relaxing on a couch in this room, under a blanket, daytime. I saw this creature outside, and suddenly she somehow sent her "spirit" in to the room, through the window. The thin guy almost **** himself, and the creature tried to pull my blanket off and be in my face. She could not get a hold of the blanket since she had no substance as a spirit and eventually gave up. I must have fallen asleep in the dream, because I woke up in the dream, it was now dark, and I was on my back and the thin guy was covering near my feet looking like he was about to die of fear. I looked at him and said "What?" (I actually said "what"). He shushed me almost hysterically but then he went went silent, looked behind my head (I was still lying down, on my back, with the room behind me), went completely white and stared at something. he was as white as a sheet and whispered "he's coming!!". I watched as he writhed in fear and agony, still staring behind me. I lay competely still and waited for something horrible to appear over my head, the thin guy almost curled up on himself. It was creepy, but I was not REALLY afraid. I waited some more, then figured out that I didn't want to be there any more, and slowly things got dark around me (in the dream) until it was all black. My body felt the same, lying in the same position, then I realised I had woke up, and when opening my eyes I was in my room, but lying in the same position in my bed as in the dream. End dream.

I usually dream a lot and with great detail, but usually not very significant dreams with a lot of symbolism. But this new and recurring "Coach" character puzzles me, and the snake was pretty significant I think, I don't get kissed often in dreams OR real life and the zombie dream was the creepiest dream I've had in years. And all this in just a couple of days!
I know this was long, but if someone actually reads this I would like to hear what they think. I just dream this stuff, I don't know how to dissect it, heheh..

Time is a little bit crunched right now, but I'll have a look just as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.

I try to read everything that comes through this forum and give thoughts on as much as I can. That's why we're here!

I apologize for taking so long! You just caught me at a busy time of the year.

The first dream suggests that you have been forced to air some manner of very personal "dirty laundry" and this results in embarassment.

The kiss dream ... what kind of kiss could this be? Is it some kind of indication that this guy likes you? Or is this something more sinister, perhaps a warning, as in betrayal (kiss of Judas), or aggression (kiss off), or an ending (kiss of death)? A kiss can also represent transformation, but I'm not sure how or if that fits.

The anthill/snake dream suggests that you may feel "trapped" in some way. It looks as if there is a great deal of activity happening in your sub/unconscious mind (swimming/anthill/burrow) and the material/energy writhing around in there is about to emerge (shell cracked open). Whatever it is, it isn't "pretty", but it seems you manage well enough to handle it.

The next dream could suggest that the "ugly" material/energy which is emerging could have to do with anxiety concerning your performance (sports/kick ball) in some respect, perhaps school/job/relationship, and perhaps in "competition" with others, although I feel like you are really "competing" with yourself.

The 'bowling dream' seems to be very similar to the previous.

I'm not sure about the last dream, but in general it seems to suggest that something is bothering you which you do not really want to acknowledge, perhaps something from your past, or perhaps some aspect of your psyche/psychology that would be rather disturbing or difficult if you paid it any attention.

Now, the 'Coach' seems to represent something that you need, perhaps a sense of direction or some sort of instruction or authority. He could even be a Guide. Or, he could simply represent a strong masculine figure which may not be present in your waking life, and which you need in your life.

I'm not very pleased with my interpretations and thoughts concerning your dreams, but does any of this help or strike a chord with you?

About "dirty laundry" I thought the symbolism was very clear as well, apart from the fact that it didn't really fit with anything in my life, no symbolical dirty laundry. It felt more about "Coach", actually, and the interaction with him, but during those couple of days I saw him alot.

The kiss I'm not really sure about either, me and this guy have been having a love/hate releationship all the time, I'VE not been sure whether I like him very much or dislike him strongly and I've been getting the exact same vibes from him. We're both geminis though, born one day and one year apart, that might have something to do with it, I don't know.. In the dream it felt like he wanted to kiss me (nicely, heheh) and I didn't really want him to.
