first dream, two nights ago:
i can't remember most of it, but i was with my current boyfriend and we stopped in my home town on the way back from some kind of journey. i remember the environment being very monotone, little greenery, etc. (which is unusual, i live in west virginia).
we stopped at some two story restaurant in this secluded part of my home town (the building doesn't exist). we went inside and up the stairs; my ex-boyfriend (we dated for 2 years and broke up a year and a half ago) worked there with his cousin (who is most of the reason we broke up; they are best friends and she didn't like me), his cousin's boyfriend, and my ex-boyfriends stepfather, who thought i was awesome. he said hi to me and then acted like he was long-time pals with my current boyfriend, hugging him and such, who he has never met, i am sure.
we ordered food and left. i hung behind on the stairs to listen to their conversation.
my ex's stepfather said to my ex "i think she was hitting on you" and smiled. my ex-boyfriend, usually very soft-spoken, freaked out and tried to fight his stepfather. they were about to throw punches when the stepfather sees me spying on the stairs and says "elin?"
they start running after me, but for some reason i run as fast as i can back to my boyfriend and we drive away.
second dream, last night:
i am at some carnival thing, and all the clubs i was involved with in high school are there, but nobody needs my help (i am in college as of this past semester, and i am not doing clubs anymore). i was hanging out with these random girls my little brother knew, because nobody else wanted to hang out with me. there was a large fridge where everyone stored their keys and wallets just sitting outside. i lost all of my expensive makeup and couldn't remember anything for some reason. the other items in the fridge (ex - cell phones, ipods) were all nicer and newer than mine. everyone was putting down my ideas and i was wandering around alone, and everyone knew me, but nobody said hello. my other ex-boyfriend, who has really changed (he is really douche-baggish and works out a ton, so he has this robot look to him) was in this dark chamber getting metal attached to his face and everyone we knew was just watching. i said "poor josh" and his friend leah was just like mhmm to me, like my opinion didnt matter. i was with my little brother's friends and they went to a restaurant. there was an elevator with 2 doors (one in front and one in back), nothing else (no building with it, just sitting in the carnival like a phone booth, almost). both were open and the girls walked through the front one and just walked into the space in the back and fell. i looked down and there was no bottom. the elevator was numbered strangely, with the numbers 1,3,4, arranged from top to bottom. i was confused, so i pressed 3 and it went down really fast and i was in this very chic restaurant - all white everything, with red tables and chairs. the girls were sitting at a table and looked at me strangely, so i didnt sit with them. i went over to the waiters and started a conversation. they told me there was no basement and there was no first and second floor - it was strange because i am very shy, lately (i was social in high school) and i talked to these strangers with ease. then, i woke up.
please help!Very interesting dreams; ex-bf getting metal welded to face? elevator without a building? interpretations?
Dreams play a very important role in our well-being. It is during the rapid-eye movement (or R.E.M.) sleep that many complex metabolic functions take place that bring healing to our bodies and minds. This usually tales place between the hours of 3 and 5 A.M., and in this relatively short time we are made whole again and able to face another day.
The complex interaction between our dreaming and other metabolic functions is an emerging science, and may lead to breakthroughs in systemic illnesses; including psychosis, obesity, hypertension and many others. Your dream has created symbols that are unique to you (sorry鈥?. dream symbol books are of little value) and this drama that has emerged into your conscious mind has an important tale to tell. You are wise to pursue the matter! Now, on to your dreams:
These dreams are a continuum, and the secret to decoding them lies in their commonality. In general, these scenarios speak of a waking condition that is unsettling, and you are wrestling with fears and insecurities that need to be addressed. Your unconscious mind is working hard to provide answers for you, and some relief from your emotional turmoil. But what is your mind really saying to you? My thoughts on dream #1:
When our mind creates a setting that is impossible (nonexistent building,uncharacteristic landscape) it is to catch our attention and alert us that this is a staged show. Your ex's stepfather is the key figure here, and it is evident that at one time he was a father-figure to you, and that emotion transcends past or current relationships. Your running away at the end indicates that the entire emotional tubulance of your relationship with your ex and his family is something you are not prepared to deal with; although in an ideal world, your ex's stepfather would be in your current life, displaying fatherly love and affection.
Dream #2 has powerful information for you, if you will accept it:
This hellish carnival seems to unleash a torrent of insecurity. High school clubs can be brutally rejective, and you are feeling the sting in a poignant way. The refrigerator symbolizes "coolness", and it seems that all of your things and ideas just weren't "cool" anymore. The loss of your expensive make-up and memory render you helpless to compete in a vaccuous environment where clever manipulation and appearance are the tools of the trade. To drive home this point, you are able to see the true nature of Josh's obsession with his appearance, as he begins to join the Borg collective with horrific metal attachments.
The elevator is powerfully symbolic. I can almost feel your sense of dread, mystery and confusion confronted with this absurd conveyance. Yet, your unconscious mind wanted to make a very clear statement, strong enough to enter into your conscious mind. But what is that statement?
College is a big jump from high school. When we enter into a new world, everything happens at light speed, and we can often seem to be in a free-fall. The waiters are representing your unconscious mind, and are conveying the most important information of this drama: in your new world, there is no firm foundation (basement) or any slow, steady ladder to climb. (1 2 3 4 ) You are being thrust into a strange world where the things of the past are of no value. Your new world is very adult, with stark contrasts (white representing purity, red sex) Your "friends" are of little help to you. Their lack of character and obsession with appearance and clique-ish behavior are simply useless in the real world you now find yourself competing in.
I started out with the thought that the common thread between these two dreams would help to decode them. In both cases you have left the things of old in a rather sudden way; one by running as fast as you can; the other by speed elevator. here is what I believe your unconscious mind has conveyed to you, in the hopes of having a positive impact in your waking life:
The things of your past are of little value in the new world you find yourself thrust into. As painful as it might be, it is time to realize that you must face your fears alone, and develop new alliances with stronger people who can help you navigate the road ahead.
Best wishes to you, and pleasant dreams.
Hah! Starred questions, just as you said. You are a stand-up person! Bring me your dreams any time. :)

You are discovering new parts of your personality and your emotional maturity. You are also changing as you mature in this process, and all of your feelings and attitudes are congruent, meaning that they are getting along well together without any conflicts. The elevator represents moving to different levels of your unconscious mind. The future may sometimes appear confusing to you but you are exploring it and integrating it into your experience.
