ooooh dream weaver
i just woke up from a really strange dream and i feel like it was important and I dont want to forget it. Posting it here is mainly just so i can get it out, but i'd love for you to play dream interpreter for me and give me ideas as to what you think it means.
This is the 3rd or 4th dream in a sequence...you know how dreams sometimes are unrelated but tend to blend together? This is the last one, following two sex dreams (one of them really graphic- whoa) and a dream about grocery shopping. It starts out with me and two people I went to high school with sitting in some secluded area with lots of plants and grass just kind of shooting the shit and catching up. The topic of conversation quickly moves to drugs and alcohol and someone has some pot with them, so we all start smoking. no big deal. Then some children come along and start playing, and this is after we're done smoking...apparently the fact that we're supposed to be high isnt really important. So these kids are playing around in our plant area (maybe its a playground??) and we're kind of amused by them, and more and more kids start coming along, and the more kids that come, the older they are, until there are kids of all ages, up until about 14 or 15 running around everywhere. These are neighborhood kids, a lot of whom i recognize to be either people my brother knows or younger siblings of my friends, so in my dream, i'm curious as to why I dont see my brother or his closest friends.
Then the setting changes to a location probably a block away from my house, and while all these kids are still running around playing this older man starts coming toward me. Hes probably 40 or 45, tall, kind of tan with dark hair and although hes good looking, hes definitely not good looking enough for me to like him or have a good feeling about his presence. The setting suddenly changes again to maybe a couple houses down the street from my house and this guy is next to me but not actually talking directly to me, saying "All you kids need to go home! Children should not be playing on the streets like this! Go home, now!", which i find a little uptight and silly because my neighborhood is incredibly safe, and both my brother and I grew up playing on the streets all the time. Again, the setting changes to my front yard and this man is still yelling to get the children to go home, and all of the sudden my brother comes running down from the side of our house going "everyone has to leave my house! you have to go home, my mom doesn't let me have people here without permission" and then stops when he sees me and this strange man. Now all the neighborhood children are gone, and its just me, my brother and this strange man standing in my front yard, the latter which starts to give us a lecture on how dangerous it is to be playing in the streets and how we shouldn't be doing it and what kind of children we are for doing that. At this point I start to feel that this man is dangerous himself, and start thinking of how best to get out of the situation (apparently just going inside my house wasnt going to work...?). Quite suddenly, I feel this intense urge to go to the hospital, and it had to do with the fact that my aunt had just been diagnosed with breast cancer (this is true in real life as well, only she actually lives in england and isn't in the hospital) so I quickly grab my brother's hand and say that we have to go to the hospital, and my brother agrees. We start to make our way out of my front yard and and the man changes his tone and offers to drive us.
So we get into this man's car which is this old brown 1970's mobile that barely works. We're all in the front seat with my brother between me and the man, and he starts driving away. I decide to not close my door all the way, instead holding it open a crack because I was afraid that if I closed the door, the man would do something really bad to us and we wouldn't be able to escape. At one point while we're driving down the street (we move very slowly because the car sucks) the man even asks me why i'm holding the door open and I tell him that I feel unsafe having it closed. I find it important to mention that while we're driving around the corner from my house there are huge piles of dirt in the street, which worry me at first but the man just says that he had recently gone off roading and they would be no problem, and to my surprise, the car goes over them quite smoothly. During the car ride, the man is acting quite father-like to my brother, and even kisses him on the head a couple of times, like a father would. At this point I get really worried about what this man's intentins are, and decide that enough is enough and I say that my brother and I aren't going to ride in the car with him anymore, i push the door that I had been holding open and through some super human strength pull my brother out of his seat belt and we both roll onto the street, protected from massive injuries because of the piles of dirt.
By this time the car had only made it a couple of blocks away, putting us pretty much right down the street from pali high. The next scene in my dream is in an empty classroom at pali, and this same guy is sitting at a desk and telling me that he's actually a physics teacher at pali and does lots of research and is some incredibly smart scientist. At this point i regain my confidence in myself and say to the guy "oh, that must be why you're so nuts" and decide that he was slightly crazy and just wanted to have a son, and he tried to pretend that my brother was that person. So then decide that we were just going to go home and I tell the man that he's going to feel depressed and sad that we're gone, but that he will get over it. And then I wake up.
Wow, that was long. I feel like this dream really means something, but i just can put together the children and the smoking and plants and the strange man, and my brother and the car ride. Any insights?
