Mamoriko - a strange, beautiful dream
I sleep long and, thus, have an endless number of dreams. Sometimes they blend into one another (whether the blending makes sense or not), other times they're completely new.
Today, just before I woke up, I think my mind chose a clean slate for my last dream of the night/day. (Though, it could have evolved from whatever I was dreaming of before, I'm not sure.) I appeared at the end of a sort of alleyway. Me and two or three others were with me - friends, I think. I don't remember their faces. I want to say they were guys, but I'm not certain. Whoever they were, I felt a calm with them, like I held a deep and strong love and respect for these friends. So much so, that in the dream, appearing at the end of that alleyway, I didn't give them a second thought; I knew with my next move, they would follow and support me without question.
Within moments of coming-to in this place, no time was wasted. For some reason, a terrible feeling of concern, worry, and a need to see someone came over me. Without hesitating, I began hurredly jogging down this alleyway, calling the name of a young girl - Mamoriko. The friends rushed behind me, unsure of what was happening, but concerned nonetheless. It wasn't long before I was stopped by a girl calling back to me. I can't quite remember the events exactly as they happened in the dream; I believe I had gone into a small home that was open to the alley - the size and style inspired by Japanese homes - when this girl, Mamoriko, first responded to me. I realized I was in the wrong place, and rushed back a few homes/stores. I think I heard her voice again, so I ran into the building to my left. How the events unfold, I'm unsure - somehow I ended up at the roof of this place, still looking for the girl. (It's sometime during the day.) I go to turn back and investigate the rest of the building/home when something happens.
This part is fuzzy; I can't quite recall if I saw her first or met the other person before seeing her. I'll record what I think happened, though I could be writing out of order or unintentionally making up details. I believe I first saw her standing in the open entranceway on the roof. A sense of relief and joy burst from me in seeing her alive and well. Strangely, I think I also saw a small gold-glowing creature with her, something I acknowledged as a fairy. I don't know if it was or not. My mind registered it as a fairy. Whatever it was with this girl, it was familiar to me. Not as mine personally, I don't think. But it was something on my side, that I had left with this girl to heal her and protect her. She was a sweet, innocent child. Gentle and deserving of love. Once unwell, suffering from either illness or injury, this "fairy" I left with her as protection and a means of healing. Continuing, I went to embrace her, but a man appeared. He quickly approached me, a man full of anger and violence. My friends came to my aid, as the man drove me to the side of the roof. I leaned on the edge, the man nearly touching me, pulling close, my friends standing wearily back, afraid any action would send me off the roof. The man was the girl's guardian. He threatened me to keep away from her and never bother them again. He inched nearer, when the girl suddenly spoke out.
Unfortunately, it's taken me almost a day to record all of this dream, so I've now forgotten the details of how it ends. What I do remember is that this girl stood up to the man who tormented her and those who lovingly came into her life. She forbid him from harming her or us, her friends, from then on. The man scowled at her, but she stayed strong. That fairy creature remained by her "side" (on her shoulder), giving off a gold presence, empowering, a representation of good. The man backed down. I'm not sure if he was frightened, surprised, or what, but that man stopped because of that girl. He stepped away. I want to say I ran over and embraced her, so terribly happy to be safe and with the healthy girl again. Though, I'm not sure. I woke up.
The mystery behind dreams isn't something that really grabs me. I find the purpose of dreams to be something we just cannot understand, yet should always be appreciated. Try to learn from the mistakes and dangers presented within dreams, yet don't necessarily think the events of one are such that should be heeded as a glimpse into the future. We can never know for sure what meaning is behind our dreams, so I believe it's best to always consider and learn from them.
I'm not sure what to think of this dream. Honestly, I have the feeling it's just an accumulation of some things I've watched and experienced lately. That's fine. There's nothing wrong with that. Reflecting back on my dream, there's a lot I can learn, such as showing more care and love towards others; that kindness alone can be what brightens someone's day and gives encouragement. But beyond that, this dream just makes me wonder... I've never heard the name "Mamoriko" before. I'm so sure. Even in the dream, as the worry overcame be in the alleyway, it wasn't until a few seconds later that the name seemed to abruptly pop into my mind as I blurted it out unfamiliar lips. After waking from the dream and thinking back over the details, it had to of been an hour or so later that it occurred to me that "Mamoriko" is a combination of the words "mamoru" - to protect - and "ko" - child - in Japanese. That's what got me wondering about the meaning behind this particular dream. I won't ever truly know, nor so I expect to find some magical message behind it. It's just powerful that such a warm being with the name "Child of Protection" would appear to me. I feel grateful for the love I've received in my life. I feel that I should always be a positive influence on myself and others, embuing my soul with good energy: to love, to care, to appreciate, to give and share. That's just so powerful. It fills me with hope for my future. No matter what happens, I will choose to influence it with Good.
That's all~
