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.
