The first part of my dream that I remember was following a man that was impoverished almost to the point of being a slave. He departed on a very shabby vessel that was taking him toward a place up river to work where the lumber and the mill were. At times the vessel seemed no more than a few trash cans tied together. Being tossed in the storms of a sea, he held on, determined to make it to the mill to relieve his debt.
The next part of my dream seems silly in comparison, yet parts of it were so vivid. A friend from wilderness, who was (in my dream) now studying to be a Beautician, was cutting my bangs for my hair that I am growing out. She did a horrendous job, stopped in the middle of it and took off to meet up with somebody else. I couldn’t go out in public like that and didn’t know what to do. Luckily, there was another friend there that saw what she did then took me to a different room and fixed my hair. Sigh!
Then there were huge cranes dumping tons of gummy candies in our backyard. Little kids from all around started showing up, running around and sliding down the 30 ft mounds of candy while stuffing their faces. At first I wasn’t sure if this was a good idea, but realized we would never be able to eat it all by ourselves. So I started picking out one of each of the shapes to set aside (cuz I am weird like that).
The last part of my dream is what hit hardest with me.
There was this lady, she was part black, shorter, heavier set, large busted with one glass eye and had a kid. A person to my right was bargaining with her for something. We seemed to believe that she had the powers to protect someone very precious to me (either a child or another loved one). I am not sure what exactly we wanted from her, but I knew that I had something that she wouldn’t be able to refuse, so I spoke up.
I held my hands out in front of me about 8-10 inches apart, as if holding a ball. As I concentrated I could feel a power surging through me into my hands. Between my hands appeared an image of my heart. It was bright red and full of power. I showed the woman that I could transform my heart into a heartstone, an object of great power that resembled a ruby. I knew that others could do the same but would not survive and the stone was significantly smaller. I had a powerful gift. I knew it and I was willing to pay whatever it took for what this woman supposedly could offer.
When she saw it she got flustered and excited and was determined that she was the one to do it. She seemed to think that showing me that she could pop out her own eye or even drown herself in her own skull was evidence enough that she could do it. I was let down to a large degree by what I saw, but knew that she would suffice, but also that I did not have to pay everything that I had. I bargained her down to a small portion of my heartstone, one that perhaps would have been as large as any other person’s but was only about a fifth of mine.
As the dream ended, I had my hands again in front of me, projecting my heart, as I was concentrating on transforming that portion of my heart into a stone like a pulsing ruby.

I think it is interesting that these are all about choices and responsibility, for yourself and for others. They are about people giving a lot, letting you down, and expecting a lot from you. You are willing to share, but not stupidly, and you draw the limits. When they let you down, you are able to move on in another direction and still accomplish the goal.
ReplyDeleteHey! :) I love to interpret dreams. To me, this one seems to be able searching for your soul's purpose, and realizing that you are out in the journey now, and that whatever you have "packed" so far is what you have with you. In other words, it's a sense of no longer being a child in any way, and really moving out into the world as a full, full adult. The man who floats away to his destiny on a lashed together raft is someone else who you observe, being successful without all of the right tools. The hair-cutting episode is you being unprepared at first for your journey, then switching friends (doesn't have to literally have to do with the specific people in your dream, just an overall sense of switching out friends who are bad for you with friends who are good for you) and then you are ready for the journey. The gummy candies signify that sometimes there is such an abundance of things that we don't feel like we even need, while other things are in short supply. Trying to find a buyer for your heart -- this is looking for a vocation and possibly for love, although for some reason I feel like it has more to do with wanting to be sure that you are pouring your life's energy into the right career direction. You want a career that will take all of you, but you are finding that there is so much to you that it's difficult. Overall the dream is encouraging and yet there is still a feeling of "I still haven't found what I'm looking for." I'd love to know what shapes the gummies were in. They could be symbols of things that are bountiful in your life that you might not be consciously aware of.
