My Dream

This is all I’ve found but I think I may need to get a book to do further research because something tells me this is just the tip of the iceberg for this dream.

October 12, 2018

Listen... I know I’ve been slacking. Life has been moving and I have so much to share but today, we’ll start a getting to know me series called “What Brought Me Here” and my very own dream analysis.

What I take from this dream is that I need to stay patient because my blessings are coming. I have been working harder to get closer to God these past few days. I have been growing and transforming from who I’ve been in the past. I don’t feel the need to deal with certain people or things anymore. I’m growing up and moving in a different path than some people whether I see it or not. God is preparing me for something and I’m ready to receive it. I just have to stay focused and keep pushing. I won’t get too deep into the emotional stuff because today isn’t one of those days and I’d also like to save most detail for the posts. Change is coming and I’m not too good with change but at this point, it’s pretty inevitable. All I can do is pray and hope for the best.

If you’d like to read the first part of my series, please go into the survey and provide your email. I will email you a password to get into the first part. I chose to password lock it so that only people who WANT to read my story can. It can’t just be read and tossed aside. Look out for an email from ​thebotanicalcastle@gmail.com​ with the subject “WBMH”. PLEASE do the survey, it helps me out a lot. It only takes 1 literal minute. I hope you all have a blessed day.

● I had The Amazing World of Gumball playing on my television when I went to sleep but I

noticed when I woke up, it was only playing on my laptop. I didn't begin to have the actual nightmare until sometimes close to waking up. I’m assuming it started when the show got quieter and my mind couldn’t just go off what was happening in the cartoon anymore. My whole dream wasn’t a nightmare but I can’t remember the beginning.

● I watched part of the first Hunger Games movie, part of 50 Shades of Grey, and several cooking YouTube videos before bed.

● I had Panera bread for dinner- broccoli cheddar soup, cinnamon raisin bagel, part of a turkey sandwich with gouda and provolone cheese, tomato, romaine lettuce, mustard and mayo. I ate a few sour punch bites. I drank a little juice but mainly water.

● My mood was pretty mellow. I was pretty bored when i went to sleep.

● I slept for about 6 hours. From around 12 to around 6.

● I woke up feeling less than rested but I wasn’t tired enough to sleep. Like, my tiredness didn’t overshadow my anxiety about my dream.

My Interpretations

I woke up scratching my arm and noticed I had been scratching myself pretty badly in my sleep. (Picture included below). I’ve been breaking out quite a bit since I moved to Tennessee and there are like clawing marks on one arm. They were bleeding a little once I woke up and I had to try really hard to convince myself it wasn’t real and that I didn’t have skin peeling all over but the blood was real. I was very shaken up and self-conscious about my body. I haven’t been back to sleep since I woke up around 6am and it is 10:28am....

I can’t remember my dream part by part but I wrote out bullet points with things that I remembered.

● Stars were imprinted into my skin from a pink, purple and leopard blanket my mom gave me as a gift. The stars were quite large and were spread all over my arms and top part of my right thigh. The stars were peeling skin, my face was also peeling very badly.

● I didn’t realize it was happening until I woke up on FaceTime with my boyfriend and he asked what was wrong with my face.

● The skin peeling wasn't painful and was a pale white color, like shedding snake skin.

● I kept picking at them and sliding the skin off of me and I was grossed out but couldn’t

stop myself. The skin on my face was peeling patchily and not really in stars at first.

● My boyfriend had randomly joined a men’s group.

● I kept seeing a younger version of him wearing mid-calf, jean capris, a red hooded jacket

with the jacket open and his hood on, and a black hat.

● He was in a store walking next to a big black man with a black t-shirt and a buggy.

● It was implied that they were shopping for stuff for a men’s get together they were

having.

● Stars can mean a) growing closer to your spiritual self. Things like optimism, faith, and

new beginnings. b) Shooting for goals that you deem unrealistic for yourself. “Shooting

for the stars”

● Skin peeling off can mean a) personal transformation. b) Blocking your feelings or the

need to express yourself. Change is coming.

● Blankets mean warmth. In more than one way, though. Most signs mean multiple things.

The way that applies to me though, is needing human warmth. Blankets can symbolize feeling like you’re getting the cold shoulder from someone. The fact that the blanket came from my mother is interesting and we will come back to that because it also will be explained in my “What Brought Me Here” series.

● Pink symbolizes love, sweetness, happiness, kindness, romance, compassion, softness, and affection. It is associated with femininity and could also be associated with being in young love or the healing powers of love and friendship.

● Purple indicates the dreamer is beginning to have awareness of an undiscovered dimension of self.

● Seeing a shopping cart indicates that you are reaping the rewards and benefits of your hard work.
