Help with desciphering these dreams

[Rsandee]

I had a few very cool dreams this morning, dreams you're sure have some meaning but the meaning isn't obvious at first. I hope someone can help me with desciphering them.

The first one is the freshest one on my mind, I was for some reason going back in time for around a half a year to the university. I was walking up staircases, almost like the moving staircases in the Harry Potter books/movies. One of the people that I had a lot of conflict with in that time was right beside me and he pretended to be positive and friendly but I just ignored all of it because I knew better. I had a mission, consciously or unconsciously, I went to the top floor and got past some "guards", nobody was allowed to be there. I had to crawl through a small hole but I was like nah I'll just fly through it because I somehow also knew it was a dream. This is where it gets interesting, there was a small hole in the floor, I knew I had to go to the bottom of this hole so I went in there. The hole was disturbingly deep, the deeper I went the more I doubted and wanted to go back but I continued descending anyway. The hole eventually ended in a sewer pipe, when I was in the sewer I could sense bad stuff lurking in there so I asked for divine help which I received. Some dogs were attacking me but a white wolf helped me fight them. I fought them with magic, I just used my bare hands to force them away from a distance. I opened a door and found a laboratory, I'm almost a chemist in real life so it probably has something to do with that. The teacher told me that he wasn't able to detect us because of some flaw in the security system and that whatever he was planning has no use anymore because I found him and his class. This is when my two much younger nephews, who were inexplicably there, tell me there is a scary closet in the room. I tell them to not be scared and walk up to this huge, dark closet with a ball of light in my hands to ward off whatever is inside. I open the closet, I see something dark moving behind curtains in the closet and when the curtains lifted up, I saw a lot of treasure. Ultimate success I whispered, then I hear a monster screaming behind my back as a jumpscare and the dream ended.

In my second dream I received a feather from some kind of woman, she was a half-bird or something or perhaps an angel but she looked normal. With this feather I could travel between mirrors and see "ghosts" of people. Some people in the realms I visited talked in a very sped up way or some just acted deranged. Not much to say about this one.

In my third dream I was getting some photos printed out with a group of people I knew, they were then taking a boat back home but I missed the boat because I was busy talking to some strangers. I decided to jump on one of these boats even though I couldn't get into it because they were all locked. They were all leaving at the same time so I jumped between them, this is a dream so everything is possible. I don't know why but I took someone from these boats with me and went waterskiing across the sea until aliens beamed us up in their UFO. The aliens congratulated me, I was their employee or something, they looked like humans but it was almost like they shapeshifted in order to ease the situation for me.

Do these dreams have a good, comprehensible meaning or are they just undecipherable?

Do you have a tendency to just not let anything bother you? You simply rise above those you have conflict with and push how they make you feel away? In the short run it is a helpful way to deal with conflict but in the long run we just wind up making a bigger problem for ourselves. We can reach pretty high levels of energy but may have some issues stuck deep down and then we have to get down there to deal with them at some point which can be a bit more treacherous than if we had worked through them in the moment. This said, most of us are taught to avoid conflict. Anger is considered bad and being disagreeable with others is seen as offensive. But whenever someone steps in and tries to cross a boundary it is natural and necessary for us to learn to stand our ground for our own well being. Because as much as we think we are doing well in our emotional avoidance the emotions don't go away, they get stuck in our inner closets and grow into a bigger scary problem down the line. So try to embrace all your emotions, not just the positive ones. The negative ones help us as well.

The boat dream is representing your willingness to learn to navigate your emotions. You may hesitate at first but will get on board at some point. You might even see exploring them as an adventure even if it all feels a bit alien to you at first.

Thanks for the help.
I'm still trying to surrender my emotions but I'm not really making progress.

Just to be clear it isn't surrendering to be rid of them but surrendering ourselves to having them. The problem most have is that we identify who we are with the emotions. I saw myself as bad for having them and therefore avoided emotions like the plague but didn't realize they never really leave. So it is more a matter of allowing the emotions to come without us putting labels on them or ourselves. Emotions simply are our alarm system to tell us what is up. If there is anger then danger may be around. If it is sadness then something hurt us in some way. It can be hard to navigate them because they can sometimes come on really strong but the less we define the experience as good or bad or ourselves as good or bad the easier it will be to ride them out and hear what they really are trying to say to us. It's a process though. Old habits in how we deal with life don't change over night so just do your best and eventually you will sort it out.
