Juthro, you sound like a lucid dreamer. 

 

It really depends on whether or not I'm using my CPAP machine.  If I'm using it and everything is working correctly I sleep like a log and dont remember my dreams at all.  If my mask isn't sealing or if for some reason I'm not using the machine I tend to get stuck somewhere between fully asleep and awake.  In that stage my dreaming is often lucid and it allows me some level of conscious control over how the dream plays out.  It's not like I have complete control over the dream, but more like I can steer it to some extent.

I am probably a lucid dreamer due to similar situation, but I have not explored sleep diagnosis. I LIKE my dream cycle as it is. 

 

EDIT: I love my dreamscape, even when it is not optimal. It counteracts the helplessness I feel in our present reality. Gives me a sense of purpose in a way.

The circle has always been my favorite form, and signify's ongoing completion and continuance to me......

why?

 

I have been attracted to circular forms aesthetically as an artist from a young age, and used them in a majority of my work.

On a more spiritual side, I see them as perfection, without beginning or end, equal from any and all points. They are a basis for sacred geometry, the perfect starting point, the building block of matter and the universe.

This is my comprehension of the circle..................................................

I was slowly waking up aware of my body but still watching a dreamscape.
I was in a place of dry sand like a desert perhaps.
There were a number of snake beings with human heads. All female with hair done, make-up.
Some would come slithering up to me smiling and chatty then go back to their little group and talk.

I think I'm being shown what the people I come into contact with are about.
It could have a deeper literal meaning as in these could be actual entity I need to be aware of. Most definitely.

Very loud demanding dog bark in my ear.

Being told to get my sh*t together.

Have felt a little overwhelmed lately.

[Justintime]

I don't remember my dreams lately. Probably due to smoking.
Had a short vision as I was getting into sleep mode. Chrome parts layed out on red velvet fabric. Parts I just need to put together. My writing is all in handwritten notes atm. A bit mixed up. I'm slightly daunted by the task of putting them in order and typing out.

This dream was a few days ago but felt compelled to write about it. I had an altercation with a semi human demon thing, that was shaped more or less like a human, and reminded me a bit of the guy that plays the lead in Boardwalk Empire. This thing seemingly had no bones, and was made of rubber, but with the strength of a large snake, which I am familiar with. It kept laughing maniacally and trying to clamp its mouth onto me any way it could, and when it did, it started to suck the soul and energy right out of me. It was very strong, and despite my usual ability to defend myself, it was plastic and flexible, and kept clamping onto me with amazing strength, laughing maniacally all the while, At some point, I got some rope and after a lot of struggle, managed to bind it, and it screamed like a fucking Banshee when I did. I kicked it and abused it and tried to hurt it, but it was impervious to my efforts and screamed all the while. Throughout this I stayed primarily calm, but it rattled me towards the end with the screaming it made. I left it binded... EDIT: and I hope it stays binded. This rubbery bastard was tenacious.

I am in a house with my brother and one other friend.  There is a crowd of other people there, strangers to us.  After a while I realized that the other people were a cult-like group and they meant us harm.  Once I realized that, the people put the three of us into a back room and locked the door.

 

I knew that if we stayed in that room, soon the cult people were going to return to kill us, so we needed to get out.  I broke a window and jumped outside.  My friend did the same.  My brother was struggling because of the remaining broken glass still in the window frame.

I could tell one of the cult people was on their way and would open the locked door at any second and I was desperate to get my brother out.  I was pulling out pieces of glass from the window so that he would be able to get through.  He finally jumped through the window.

 

We were outside in a large yard behind the house, no other houses or anything around.  It looked like fall time (autumn) with the plants and trees, the ground was brown, the leaves had already all fallen off the trees to the ground.  At the back of the yard was a large shed, then it transitioned to woods.  One guy was chasing after us, way behind.  I was looking for sticks on the ground as we ran, something we could use to defend ourselves.

 

 

Interpretation:

 

This dream seems obvious to me to represent things that are going on in my life at my workplace, almost like replaying it back to myself.

•     The group of three (myself, my friend and brother) represents me and two of my friends at work, who I've gotten a lot closer to over the past year.
•     The other cult-like group of people that mean us harm represents a number of people that we work with, who have been gossiping and literally conspiring against us (as weird as that sounds to me, it seems to actually be happening.)
•     Being locked in the room represents feeling like my friends and I are trapped in a social jail cell (not sure how else to describe it.)
•     Breaking the window to escape represents my feeling a need to remove myself from the people who mean us harm.
•     My brother not able to jump out the window represents the difficulties I see in getting away from the harmful people & situations.
•     Removing shards of glass from the window to help my brother represents my trying to help my friends each time an incident occurs, or just simply trying to give them a way to continue without being harmed.
•     The scenery outside being autumn represents...maybe something coming to an end (like how I used to view some of the harmful people at my work?) or maybe representing change.

Thank you for including your interpretations. I see you have greatly improved your skills with that as compared to when you first started in this thread.................

[ElPirana]

Thank you Skye! Some dreams still mystify me, but others like this one seemed really clear almost immediately. As I was writing out my thoughts, more pieces just fell into place. I hope to continue learning more about myself and how to understand my dreams. This is definitely my favorite thread, I really value everyone’s contributions and opinions here.
