The most I can remember right now, is my picking up a small deer, on an island, in the middle of the night... I, and others walking out of the ocean, as well as more already on the island, had been on a ship of some sort, and it seemed like it was war-time (unless it was a drill). The women coming out of the ocean wore nightdresses, men were in PJ's or uniforms, except for the one I came across after I'd found the baby deer (tiny deer), close to the edge of some very long grass that I knew I should avoid, in case of lions.
Parts of the walkway and the beach were lit with candles or lights that weren't that bright - I heard someone directing people to a lit area where food and drinks awaited, as though they'd just driven up for dinner - but this one man who had been injured, was in a small building, open at either side. (I wasn't sure that was so smart, if there were dangerous animals in the area.). I ended up standing there talking to him, laughing and just chatting - he made me smile. I asked if I could leave the deer with him, and he said that I could, and I could tell that he would take good care of it. I was leaning against his bunk area, petting the deer and enjoying his company, when I woke up.Dream dictionaries talk of deer and gentleness, but I haven't been feeling that gentle lately. I'm disappointed in the result of a friendship/relationship, as at least one link from the above site, mentioned... someone I'll miss, even though they hurt me. Every so often, I think back to when we were getting to know each other - that was a good period in my life, anyway, and it makes me feel sad to think that various things have ended up the way they have, and that I'm feeling more stuck than ever. Other links talk about good friendships/luck in relationships, but I'm not that close to many people. - - - - - - I also dreamt that I was younger (I think), with my parents and sister. I thought were were supposed to go swimming, but we somehow ended up with this man in our car - he had something wrong with him, but I don't remember what it was. Our home was also featured in the dream (a combination of an old one, and another that I don't recognize). I can barely remember it. *edit. I don't know why I'm sharing this. I wrote it in another thread, because I was trying to remember more about it, and the other dream that I had. I used to have a dream diary, and should get back to writing in that... Another part of the deer/island dream: there was a ship shown, at night (before the people emerged from the ocean in front of me). The air was stormy or active, but everything looked calm from the beach. There was something like an animation showed over the ship, with various directions as to what the people should be doing to fight or protect themselves and the ship. Weird. IP: Logged |

Hi teasel 
Wow! What a dream!
I think it's about you making sense of a great many emotions and fears deep within yourself, some that you 'know' would be unpleasant to confront at the moment (lions hiding in the long grass). The deer I think could be 2 things: it's possibly the remnants of your relationship with this person or perhaps it's your own emotional core. It's small and fragile and in need of protection and nurture. It needs to be sheltered and kept safe for a while, watched over until it's strong enough to fend for itself. You left it with someone who was themself injured and exposed and perhaps that's why you trusted them to take care of the deer - because you knew they would know how something fragile and in need of comfort should be looked after? Was the man in this dream the same injured man as you had in your car in the other dream by the way? The sea (any body of water) to me symbolises emotion and being the deepest and most expansive stretch of water, complete with stormy skies above, the war-time feel and the somewhat chaotic confusing actions of those around you (people arriving for dinner in the midst of chaos etc,) I would say this rather neatly represents your turmoil at the loss you feel. You said that there was a sort of animation above the ship, showing people that they should either fight and/or protect themselves and the ship - I wonder if the ship is an extension of you? The people emerging from the sea and being given these directions to me seem like different aspects and facets of your soul, all striving to make sense of what's happened and survive the hurt by protecting the one thing that can 'sail them over the stormy' seas... the ship. Your higher self perhaps? There is more to this I'm certain and you'll know all the ins and outs and be able to spiral on what it means to you, but thanks for putting it up here and I'm glad you did because it's a fascinating dream and one that's actually helped me make sense of some images in my dreams of late too. x IP: Logged |

I am! Thank you. And seeker - I'm sorry for taking so long to get back to you... your post pointed out something obvious to me, that I'd overlooked. I'll be back later. IP: Logged |

I haven't forgotten your dream, Teasel.
However in light of your recent loss, I was giving it some time, because I think some of the things might have been prophetic to your situation, and I don't want to make you sad.
Thinking of you. IP: Logged |

After taking Nyquil last night, it didn't fully set in until around 5am, when I briefly fell asleep in this chair (I'd been stretched out, but it didn't knock me out, and my mind was racing, so I had to get up again). When I fell asleep in the chair, I dreamt that I was opening my back gate, walking through it, and found a huge, white clock behind the tree there, in sight of the gate. I then woke up, and worked my way downstairs, where I hoped to disappear into a long, wonderful sleep, which didn't happen. Instead, I went through a series of snippets of dreams - in and out of sleep, so much, that I was more aware of being awake, wondering if I was ever going to get some real sleep. When in between dreams, once again, but not fully awake, I realized that I was mentally choosing between tiny, multi-coloured squares - I don't know if I was choosing my dream snippets, or what. I'll probably edit this out later, I'm not well, and am not sure i'm making much sense. I just felt the need to write it down. (I will get back to you gypsee. sorry about that.) IP: Logged | |
