The Dream
I am on a train heading towards my home when I am approached by a man who gives me two animals. Upon looking at the animals I realize one is a goat and one is a strange creature that has the head and the fur of a chinchilla and the body of a kangaroo.
I get off the train with the animals, which are now my responsibility. I have to go through security, customs and some sort of device that cleans people who are travelling with animals. As I am walking, my goat runs away. I am too afraid to leave my chinchiroo (the name I have given to my chinchilla and kangaroo mix) and the goat is lost forever.
We go into the cleaning both and on either side of me are people with larger chinchiroos waiting to be cleaned as well. I get through the cleaning booth with my new pet and start to walk home. That is all I remember.
Meanings*
Train: A train suggests that you are on the right track in life and headed in the right direction.
Goat: To see a goat in your dream represents your lack of judgment and your gullibility.
Kangaroo: To see a kangaroo in your dream refers to paternal protection. You may be expressing your nurturing nature. Alternatively, a kangaroo symbolizes aggression.
Chinchilla: A chinchilla symbolized good communication and proper timing
Big: To dream that something is bigger than normal indicates that you either have an inflated opinion of yourself or of someone. It also expresses a desire to be more dominant in some situation.
On the Couch
I feel like I am on the right track in life, headed in the right direction. When I get there I am given two things. One is something I am dedicated to and passionate about and the other is something else I feel is mine. The second thing (the goat) leaves me and I am not sad. I keep holding on to the first thing (the chinchiroo) and it is making me a better communicator. After a short time I see others having the same thing I have, but those other people are more dominant and influential. I want to grow to achieve this level.
Things look like they are on the up and up for me right now. I have been given more responsibility and projects at my job and I feel like I am becoming more passionate about my projects and better at communication overall. My job is turning into my chinchiroo and I like it. I like it so much that I have started to shed some of my lack of self-confidence that came with not having a something really stable in my life. Now that I have it, my metaphorical goat has run away. Now I am looking to the future and seeing the potential my projects at work can have. I want to roll with the big guys and I have my eye on making things bigger and better for my organization. It's time to get through those starting gates and go with it!
Or my dream could just mean that I think both chinchillas and kangaroos are awesome pets and someday, through the magic of science, I will be able to put them together into some sort of super pet. A man can dream can't he?

Trash Talking and the Underdogs (12/6/12)
The Dream
I am getting ready to play a game of shinny with some
friends when three guys come into the dressing room. They are mean and
challenge us to a game. They appear strong and good at hockey, but I am
confident we can win because we have twice as many players. They say we can
only play them 3 vs 3. We accept their challenge and we start getting ready for
the game.
I am ready to go, but I cannot find my skates. I go to the benches
and ask around for them. The guy from the other team comes up and says he hid
them. I get angry and go find them as the game begins.
Searching for my skates
involves a lot of walking up and down concrete and wooden stairs. I am still trying to locate my skates and I see my team is surprisingly winning the game 3-0. I
find another pair of skates that aren't mine, but fit me anyways.
It is the end
of the second period and my team is losing 9-8. I run down to the ice and start
trash talking my opponents. I go to grab my stick from the dressing room before the start of the third period, but I cannot find my way back to the ice.
That’s all I remember.
Meanings*
Dressing Room: To dream that you are in a dressing room suggests that you are trying to fit into some new situation or role. You are working on a fresh self-image. Alternatively, the dream represents your changing roles and the various personas you have.
Challenge/Contest: To dream that you are in a contest indicates the need to prove yourself as worthy and deserving. If you win the, it represents your self-confidence. If you lose, it indicates a lack of self-esteem.
Hockey/Skating: To dream that are skating symbolizes your ability to maintain a balance in life. You are progressing and working toward your goal. To dream that you are playing or watching hockey is analogous to how you are achieving and protecting of your goals.
Searching: To dream that you are searching for something signifies the need to find something that is missing or needed in your life.
Stairs: To dream that you are walking up stairs indicates that you are achieving a higher level of understanding. You are making progress in your journey. To dream that you are walking down a flight of stairs refers to the setbacks that you are experiencing in your life.
Lost: To dream that you are lost suggests that you have lost your direction in life or that you have lost sight of your goals. You may be feeling worried and insecure about the path you are taking in life.
On the Couch
I am starting to create a new self image. I am getting comfortable in the new personas I need to have to fulfill who I am becoming and who I want to me. I have a desire to prove my new self in the real world, not just some friendly, no-risk, game. I keep winning and losing, going up and down, experiencing victories and defeats in life on my new quest to prove myself and achieve something. I want the chance to prove myself and achieve things so badly, but I am left searching for one more thing I need that seems to be missing in order to get this chance. All this leaves me frustrated and lost, not sure where to go next.
This dream tells me two things; I am frustrated and my life seems to be going on a roller coaster lately. I now have three jobs. I have different roles and different personas for each job. I am getting used to these personas and I am hoping they allow me to make money and gain experience on my way to something greater. I am getting tired of it though. I want more responsibility and a job where I can say "I went to school for that". However, I find myself coming up empty and worst of all, unsure of how I got there. I seem to be moving forward with a job interview here and an email of interest there, but suddenly I am left with only rejection, back at square one. This is making me frustrated. Maybe I lack the drive or ambition, maybe I lack experience or I don't sell myself very well in emails. The problem is, I just don't know which one it is!
Oh maybe the dream just means I'm fed up with the NHL lockout. Come one, give me a stick, some skates and the Air Canada Centre, I'll fill in for the pros!
Cooking With Zombies (28/11/12)
The Dream
I am helping to cook something that involves onions and garlic. I am not doing very well and not cooking fast enough because someone is impatiently helping me. The things I cook end up forming themselves into mazes. I am building mazes for a competition. The competition is taking place at my old university.
At one point my boss leaves and gives the responsibility to make the next maze to my co-worker and I. We struggle to get it finished with my co-worker doing better than I. It is a terrifying maze with monsters inside.
Suddenly I am boarding a train to go to the university from another city so I can watch the maze contest. I see a lot of people I know from university, but the train is crowded so I have to sit near the front. Before the train starts it comes to my attention that there are zombies on board. We throw them out along with all the people who have been bitten. It is horrible and scary, but I am happy because now the train is less crowded and I can sit beside my girlfriend. That’s all I remember.
Meanings*
Cooking: To dream that you are cooking represents your nurturing side. You want to be loved. Or the dream could mean that you need to express your creativity. To dream that you have difficulties cooking indicate that you are trying too hard.
Onions and Garlic: To see a clove of garlic in your dream indicates protection against some danger. You will overcome your barriers. Onions represent the need for to dig a little deeper into a situation or problem. The dream may be a metaphor for some revelation.
Maze: The maze symbolizes life's twists and turns. It represents indecision, confusion, missteps, feeling lost or being misled.
University: The dream suggests that you will achieve your goals through perseverance and hard work.
Monsters: To see a monster in your dream represents aspects of yourself that you find repulsive and ugly.
Train: To dream that you are on a train suggests that you are on the right track in life and headed in the right direction. Alternatively, the dream means that you have a tendency to worry needlessly over a situation that will work out in the end.
Zombies: To dream that you are attacked by zombies indicates that you are feeling overwhelmed by forces beyond your control. You are under tremendous stress. Alternatively, the dream represents your fears of being helpless and overpowered.
On the Couch
I want to be loved for what I do and express my creativity in that vocation. I think this will protect me from danger, but really I need to dig deeper to find a solution. Attempting to protect myself has actually resulted in getting more lost and confused. Alas I am ready to meet my problems head on, confront the aspects of myself, like the indecision and lack of self confidence, that I do not like. I am starting out on the right track now on my way to confront these problems and although I might need to fight stress, self doubt and other hurdles I am confident I can do this and reach my goals.
This is a reverse of some of my dreams; it starts off horribly and then ends well. I have been striving to start an actual career in an industry I want to work in and have been getting some good results. However, job interviews are one thing, getting rejected is another. After every rejection email I feel less confident in my abilities and more confused about my direction in life. But it is at this point that my brain is telling me to forget my past failures and stay confident. I can see that there is a part of me that believes I can push through the obstacles that come my way. I guess some of those self pep talks have worked.
Or, my dream could just mean I'm reading too many zombie books, listening to too many Pinball Clemons' inspiration speeches and missing my girlfriend a lot. I guess that's a question philosophers and scientists alike will be asking for generations.

Investigative Skiing (23/11/12)
The Dream
I hear of a new hospital opening up in town that has
different methods of treating people and new medicines. I am a
journalist so I decide to go undercover and experience this new hospital. I go
in and pretend to be sick for nine days to get the full effect. The people in
the hospital seem to be cartoons at first and whatever they have is very
contagious. Everyone just lies in bed and is pumped full of medicine and sleeps
and then is better a day or two later.
After a couple days in the hospital, the
patients change to real people and I know most of them. They are all in
trouble with the law and are warned that they are on probation when they leave
the hospital. After nine days I leave. I have a Facebook group detailing my
project and a lot of people read it. I talk to someone after the project and he
says that the project was stupid and my writing was dull. I shrug and leave.
I am suddenly at
a ski hill. It looks like people are going to ski
right off the hill into a huge drop, but tracks come out at the last moment
that they can ride on. I don’t have skis so I just watch people. My friend comes
up to me and says that he got a ticket for walking up the hill with no skis
because he didn't want to wait in the tow line. We leave the hill.
Meanings*
Hospital: To see or dream that you are in a hospital symbolizes your need to heal or improve your physical or mental health. You need to get back to the flow of everyday life. Alternatively, the dream suggests that you are giving up control of your own body.
Cartoons: To dream that your real life is depicted in a cartoon world suggests that you are perceiving the world in a comical and unserious manner. This dream may also serve as an escape from the stressful realities of your life.
Criminals: To dream that of a criminal indicates that you or someone else is looking for a short cut in life. The criminal is selling themselves short and underestimating their potential.
Publication: To dream that you are writing for a publication suggests that you are trying to inform and alert others to some important information.
Skiing: To dream that you are skiing suggests that you are pushing yourself and putting your mental and/or physical ability to the test. You are your own fiercest competitor.
Citation/Ticket: To dream that you get a citation suggests that you need to reevaluate how you are going about your life as it might get you into trouble. To see a ticket in your dream represents the price you need to pay to attain your goals. A ticket signifies the start of a new endeavor.
On the Couch
I need to get healthier in some way by getting back into the flow of things, but I think this involves giving control of my body up. This is stressful so I need something that will serve as an escape. In the midst of this I see one or several people I know that are underestimating their potential and I am trying to alert them of this. I am watching people pushing themselves to the limit and paying the price for it, having to make sacrifices or go through tough times just to pursue something.
This dream starts off making a lot of sense. I am getting back into the flow of things. This is the most active and productive I have been probably since I came home from a trip to Europe and definitely since I graduated from university last spring. This comes with some catches though. I am feeling stressed at times and like the three jobs I have are controlling my mind and body. I need a comic relief from this building stress. The next part of the dream worries me a great deal more. It is pretty much saying that I know someone that is underestimating themselves as they push for something they want and facing obstacles on the path. I want to alert them, tell them they are doing well and I support them, but maybe I don't know how to do that. The problem is, my subconscious doesn't exactly say who that person is and so I don't know where to start to help.
Or maybe my dream just means that if I write a crazy good investigative piece I will get to watch cartoons and ski all the time. Sounds good to me. I better get started right away.

Sand Slinging (22/11/12)
The Dream
I get a job at a small convention center or party venue as a kitchen helper and janitor. I am shown how to clean the blackboards that are all around the walls of the room with what looks like a dangerous chemical mixture and a hose. The guy teaching me has a mask.
As we are finishing cleaning the room, a bunch of people are suddenly there and it is a political party leadership convention. There are four candidates and they have to answer a series of questions. The small crowd made up of young political junkies decide on which one goes home, round by round.
In the first round one man says almost nothing and is sent home. I am sad to see him leave because I had followed his political career and interviewed him for a school assignment. The rest of the staff liked him too and made a banner in his memory.
The next challenge involved the candidates going into a giant sandbox and wiping away all traces of them being in the sand, such as footprints. I was suddenly included in this competition. We all raced to win and one of the candidates raised her hand to signal she had won, but everyone could see there were still footprints around her. We were all angry because she had cheated and won. That’s all I remember.
Meanings*
Janitor: To see or dream that you are a janitor suggests that you need to work on cleaning up an aspect of your life.
Chalkboard: To see a chalkboard represents the classroom and the difficulties you may have experienced in school. There is a lesson to be learned from this dream. You may feel that you are being put to the test. Alternatively, it signifies your debts.
Politician: To see a politician in your dream suggests that you need to choose and take a side. Alternatively, the politician may reflect your desires for political office or your interest in world affairs.
Sand/Sandbox: To see sand in your dream signifies a shift in perspective or a change in your attitude. To see or play in a sandbox in your dream suggests that you are taking a situation too seriously. You need to lighten up and enjoy the experience. Alternatively, the dream refers to your childish or juvenile behavior.
Footprints: To see footprints in your dream symbolize pride and heritage. It may also suggest that you are a follower in someone else's footsteps. You are lacking originality and initiative. Alternatively, footprints indicate something or someone you have missed.
Cheating: To dream that you are being cheated in a game suggests that you feel someone is not being honest with you. You feel slighted, inadequate and insecure.
On The Couch
I feel like there is an aspect of my life that needs to be cleaned up or cleared up. I feel like I need to take a side and chose between two or more things to make my life clearer. To do this I need to erase many of the things I thought I knew or the debts I think I owe and take the problem on from a fresh angle. Once I am in the sandbox it is clear that my attitude and perspective has changed, but to do so is taking this problem too seriously. In times like these, I miss some of the people that can help me or the situations in the past that shielded me from such dilemmas. I feel like others have these people or situations that help them and I feel slighted by this which leads me to feel insecure and inadequate.
Well, even my subconscious thinks I over think. I have a feeling that this dream relates to my employment situation right now. I have a couple part time jobs (or quarter time jobs really) and I am still going to interviews for other jobs. I am worried about what to do if I have to decide between jobs. This might seem like a trivial worry, but I hate quitting jobs after such a short time or refusing others because it feels like going back on my word. I feel as if to get through this I need to erase what I have learned about the "real world" before I was in it, forget the debts I feel I owe to people and take sides based on more practical methods. Then my brain shows me that I need to relax, to not take this job situation so seriously and actually enjoy all the good offers coming my way. All this battling between my conscious and subconscious makes me want the security of people and things I used to have and now miss. My girlfriend is living in another city and after 21 years of having the stability of school I am in a strange, new place without this structure. I can't jump on a bus and see my girlfriend in five minutes or immerse myself in school to solve my dilemmas. I feel sad and inadequate because some other people I know have these helpful mechanisms around for them and I don't. In the end, maybe my brain is saying to stop thinking so hard, make gut decisions and to get out my self pity. My mind is trying to pull me out of my self destructive ways.
Or maybe the dream means I miss playing in sandboxes. I don't see many of them around anymore. I'm going to the park. Bye!

It's a Jungle Out There (15/11/12)
The Dream
Meanings*
Jungle: To dream that you are in a jungle signifies aspects of yourself and your personality that may be inhibited. You may be experiencing some chaos and unpredictable circumstances in your waking life.
Boxes: To see a box in your dream may symbolize your limitations and restrictions. To dream that you are opening a box indicates an aspect of yourself that was once hidden is now being revealed. It symbolizes self discovery. Consider your feelings as you open the box. To see a cardboard box in your dream indicates a lack of protection against risk.
Boats: To dream that you see a boat signifies your ability to cope with and express your emotions. Alternatively, you may be ready to confront your subconscious and unknown aspects of yourself.
River: A river symbolizes joyful pleasures, peace, prosperity and fertility. Alternatively, this dream means you are ready to confront life's challenges and life's twists and turns.
Lab Animals: To see lab animals in your dream suggest that an aspect of yourself is being repressed. You feel that you are not able to fully express your desires and emotions. Alternatively, it suggests that you need to experiment with your fears, choices, and beliefs. Try not to limit yourself.
On the Couch
My dreams are slowly becoming more hopeful. I feel as if I am in the midst of chaos and constantly face unpredictable events. However I am comfortable with this, I don't feel alone and I don't feel useless. I am starting to cut holes in my limitations and restrictions and trying to see through them to find my potential. As this is happening I am finally starting to be able to cope and express my emotions while confronting my subconscious. Now is the time to step out into the river and deal with life's challenges on my way to experiencing more pleasure, peace and prosperity. Before I step out into this new part of life I am reminded of what I am leaving behind, my repressed desires, emotions, beliefs and dreams as I go to find them where they are not repressed, in the wild.
Hmm, these things seem to be startlingly accurate so far. I do feel like my life is a bit chaotic right now. A couple relatively new jobs, being out of school for the first time in 18 years, learning new skills and testing new ventures are all forcing me to throw predictability into the wind. I think I am finally starting to get used to this, to accept my circumstances and trying to grow despite the challenges. I know limitations exists, especially personally inflicted ones like laziness and anxiety, but I am trying to shape these limitations and see through them to accomplish things and move forward. This is being helped because of my desire to read into my subconscious. I mean, what better way to do this than to analyze my dreams.
Or this could simply mean that I should go back to school to become a biologist and remake myself into the Canadian Indiana Jones. Or that catfish are actually cats that are fish. Whoa.
*all analysis is from http://www.dreammoods.com/
I am in the Amazon jungle. I am with a group on a research
trip. The group consists of people I know from all different places; good friends,
old friends, co-workers and bosses and family members. We are preparing to go
on a trip to see the wildlife in the jungle and have to make seeing devices. This includes cutting eye holes in boxes. I try to do it once and am confident I
am doing it right. Everyone tells me it is not right and they show me how. I am
glad they showed me the correct way and go about making my own box/seeing
device for the trip.
During this time many boats full of American tourists start coming up the river. I remark that this increase in traffic must be because the presidential election is over and more people are taking vacations. I look to the river again and see some of my group standing in the river waiting for the boat to take us on the trip. I go to grab my stuff to join them. As I am walking to the river, I see tanks full of animals including snakes and a cat-like creature that lives in water and swims like a fish. I step out into the river. That is all I remember.

A couple relatively new jobs, being out of school for the first time in 18 years, learning new skills and testing new ventures are all forcing me to throw predictability into the wind. I think I am finally starting to get used to this, to accept my circumstances and trying to grow despite the challenges. I know limitations exists, especially personally inflicted ones like laziness and anxiety, but I am trying to shape these limitations and see through them to accomplish things and move forward. This is being helped because of my desire to read into my subconscious. I mean, what better way to do this than to analyze my dreams.
Or this could simply mean that I should go back to school to become a biologist and remake myself into the Canadian Indiana Jones. Or that catfish are actually cats that are fish. Whoa.

Crash Landing (12/11/12)
The Dream
I am on a plane. I am watching two passengers. One is asleep
and one is very much awake and nervous about the flight. The plane is in a lot of
turbulence. It is flying very low and it is stormy out. It is so low it is
crashing through the trees which have dark red leaves. The one man is screaming
with terror and the other is still asleep next to him. Suddenly when it feels
like we’re going to crash we are landed on the tarmac at a small airport and
everything is fine. That is all I remember.
Meanings*
Airplane (On an Airplaine/Crashing): the crashing airplane represents your lack of confidence, self-defeating attitude and self-doubt. You do not believe in your own ability to achieve your goals.
Rain: To dream that you are watching the rain from a window indicates that spiritual ideas and insights are being brought to your awareness. It may also symbolize fortune and love.
Trees: To dream that you chop or cut down a tree indicates that you are wasting your energy, time, and money on foolish pursuits.
Red: Red is an indication of raw energy, force, vigor, intense passion, aggression, power, courage, impulsiveness and passion.
Sleeping: To see someone sleeping in your dream is a reflection of yourself and your own subconscious mind. It is telling you that you may not be alert or informed about a particular situation.
Fear: To dream that you feel fear indicates that your achievements will not be as successful as you had anticipated. You are experiencing anxieties in various aspects of your life.
On the Couch
So here is how I see it: One part of me is fearful that my achievements will be not be as great as I imagine them to be, but another part of me doesn't see the reality of this, is oblivious and is in denial. This has led to a self-defeating attitude that has damaged the ability for any actual accomplishments to be achieved. However, there is hope! Outside of my self-defeating attitude there are forces that are attempting to help my personal development. I am on the cusp of realizing I am wasting my time on other pursuits and will soon be aware of amazing insights and be equipped with the passion and energy to go after them. In the end, I must choose between these insights and a new life or staying inside my bubble of denial and self-doubt.
Things are getting different for me. I just got a part time job and I am seeing an increase in my duties in my other position as a magazine editor. I am writing more and being more social these days. I feel like I am on the way to accomplishing things. I guess the question is, are there aspects of my life I have to shed to finally break through, to walk to the end of that path that leads to those accomplishments? Even after the analysis, I'm still puzzled.
Or the dream could just mean that I shouldn't fly on any planes during autumn, which I can say with almost certainty will not be happening soon unless I will the lottery. I guess I'm safe for now. What a relief!
