destructive dream* * * ok

Here is my dream from last night. I woke up in the middle of the night and took the trouble to write it all down, as it seemed a bit too “destructive”:

I have an appointment with several people to learn the truth: my mother and two people in white coats who are arriving in a white vehicle as well. It is taking place in the city in front of two buildings.
A young child is set aside from the discussion, accompanied by an adult man (surely my son, who is mentioned here; is he 8 years old?)
In a shop window, I see the news during a flood: a report showing a man found drowned, still lying in the water for two days, his mouth wide open. Then a rapid drop in the water level occurs, and his stove starts working again, smoke coming out of the chimney.
Behind these two buildings, two water towers burst and spill their contents. Then, the buildings are completely destroyed; I hear several explosions, and the demolition is total and very loud.
We had all then moved to take cover, but not to shelter, just to fall back.
I then turn to my mother and tell her, “We don’t have a car anymore”…

No feelings of fear, but rather a sense of disappointment felt upon waking.
What do you think?

Kisses and thank you for helping me interpret this dream.

Hello Lafoye,

An appointment: an encounter, an opportunity to meet (more with oneself than with another person)

Mother: the unconscious invites you to reflect on the relationships you maintain with her. She is alternately nurturing or castrating, kind or wicked. Relationships with her can be affectionate or conflictual.
White-coated personalities: featuring personalities from the political, artistic, journalistic, cultural, or other fields with whom the dreamer interacts, signifies a need for self-validation and thus reveals a lack of self-confidence.

White: it evokes purity, with its connotations of clarity, brightness, integrity, justice, and goodness; it can highlight your aspiration toward greater idealism and spirituality.
So seeing a white car: it is feeling called to start a story in any field, but with a sacred mission to fulfill. White always signifies a deep call, with a mystical resonance.

City: refers, on the one hand, to the internal and psychological structure of the dreamer, and on the other hand, to the society in which he lives. A city is indeed a structure, built according to plans, organized, and regulated

Building: being a collective dwelling, the dream refers to social behavior and one’s relationships in society… which the dreamer is not willing to change, but rather to remain still.

Child: often symbolizes that conscious being within each of us that asks to grow. There is inside us a child as big as a thumb… also, any dream image of a baby or child who is poorly dressed, poorly fed, neglected, or set aside reminds the dreamer that it is urgent to take care of themselves, of their inner life.

Adult: To take things in a wise and thoughtful manner

Flood: overwhelmed by an emotional surge (most often of a sentimental nature). Floods would “symbolize imminent personal catastrophes or, at the very least, the anxiety that they might occur.”
Reportage: miscellaneous news… a reality

Drowning: emotions and pressures so intense that they overwhelm the subject

The stove starts up again: its being, its person, its cottage, its soul

Smoke: There is no smoke without a fire (a symbol of passion), and the smoke from a fire or a chimney will most likely be related to a romantic matter. The situation does not seem clear.

Château: it evokes mystery and unease, and therefore symbolizes the hardest thing to attain or possess: peace between you and a third party.

Explosion: an unexpected event will shatter certainties or habits; the hardest part is gauging the scale of this event. It can range from a simple change to the most profound upheaval. You are experiencing a tense, stressful situation that has become unbearable and is about to explode. The dream may advise you to explode, out of anger or revolt for instance, in order to let repressed feelings be expressed. It can be destructive or liberating!!!

Shelter: taking shelter, finding shelter, indicates a need for protection. If you take shelter, it can give you two pieces of advice: 1) to protect yourself, as reality makes you vulnerable, and 2) to change your behavior (which is spontaneously too withdrawn) and to open up to the world, being more enterprising and less timid.

Summarize:

You need to meet up, an invitation to reflect on the relationship you have with this third person. Sometimes she is nurturing, sometimes destructive, mean, kind, affectionate, conflictual... So with all these states, you have lost the true value of things and your self-confidence. Thanks to your deep calling and this mystical resonance, you could build yourself a comfortable, structured, and well-planned life. Because for the moment, you are more enduring than reacting. It is time for you to take care of yourself, of your inner life, by adopting a wise and thoughtful attitude. For the moment, there is a flow of emotions that you cannot manage or channel, and you do not see the situation in a logical way because the feelings are there. You aspire to peace, to love (that is utopian)... an unexpected situation will shatter certainties and habits. So rebel, do not let your feelings be repressed, free yourself, be less timid.

Kind regards
Ladysally

Thank you very much, Ladysally, for your interpretation of my dream.
There is a lot of truth in your “decoding.”
I will redo several readings and add a few comments that will better explain certain facts.
As for my mother, that's exactly it!
See you soon and thank you again.

Valérie

Hello lafoye,
Thank you for the feedback on the dream interpretation, and I understand that it is not easy to understand everything, and it is good that you decided to reply to me after careful consideration.
Have a good day, lady.

Appointment with myself: That’s very true!! Since the beginning of this year, after a breakup that didn’t affect me that much, I had a wake-up call within myself.
Since then, I have been on a deep inner search, reflection, and quest for wisdom to think only of myself. Deep down, I know that I must make a complete break with my past and finally be myself, live my life, and not all the dictates that were instilled in me by my upbringing, the manipulation of several people, and “family duties”... etc.

My Mother: She has caused me a great deal of suffering for the past four years, my four years of nightmares. Instead of providing me with moral support and backing me through my struggles (unemployment, divorce, my son’s father renouncing his custody rights, calling me a bad mother…), she chose to disown me throughout all these years because, to quote her, “she is ashamed of me when someone asks about my well-being.” I no longer have a social life and she casts me out. What a fine reflection of maternal love! She has wounded me forever.

Personalities in white coats: “staging personalities from the art world” → my current job search is in store management for national chains in interior decoration. So, as you say, I’m looking for professional recognition and also to regain my self-confidence.
Several days after this dream, I was contacted by a company in the same industry in which I have been working for the past 12 years. I had a first interview on April 30, and last Friday this man told me he would contact me in the coming days to give me the date of a second interview with the General Manager this time.

Blanc: “...it’s feeling called to start a story in a field (yes, my professional life), but with a sacred mission to fulfill (yes, continuing my old job that I loved and apparently taking it up again in another company?).”
White always signifies a deep call, with a mystical resonance (yes, I suddenly got a little spark that made me want to leave my department and get closer to a friend in the Yonne. The job offer in question is in the Yonne and just 30 minutes from his place).

Destroyed building: I want more than anything to put an end to this imposed stagnation, with a desire to undergo a “makeover” by taking charge of my destiny, my inner self, and my desires, therefore exactly for the Child and the Adult. I act with the deepest and wisest reflection for the future of my 8-year-old son and myself.

Flood: “Overwhelmed by an emotional surge” is the least I can say about all these years! And it’s true that I also feel anxious about my job search; sometimes I’m afraid of a financial and social disaster. Afraid of being “finished and useless”?!

Drowning and the stove restarts: Exact

Smoke: “No smoke without fire (symbol of passion), and the chimney smoke will likely be related to a romantic matter. The situation does not seem clear” → If I manage to get this job, the fact that I am getting closer to my friend of 3 years, I feel and have the intuition that this will bring us closer and could lead to a romantic relationship. I clearly feel that we have a strong physical and intellectual attraction for each other, we are complementary… But, due to the current distance (2 hours by car), only a close friendship has been established, with numerous phone calls every week but far too few in-person meetings.

Château: Perhaps it is the mystery of power that might allow me to tell this man that I have secretly loved him for 3 years?

Explosion: Will an unexpected event (my future job?) shatter my habits and bring about the long-awaited upheaval in my current life?
What awaits me can only be liberating; when you hit rock bottom, you can only rise. But it is also true that I must finally, as you say, “let my long-repressed feelings be expressed,” and that in all areas. I’m fed up with the amen!!

Abri: Actually, in my dream, it was more about stepping aside than taking shelter. As if I had distanced myself to physically protect myself from those explosions and the destruction of those buildings, but also to be a spectator, able to watch everything without fearing being hurt.

With these additional details, how do you analyze my dream? In a way, it was prescient regarding this recent professional encounter.

Well done on your analysis, Ladysally, you hit the nail on the head!
As I read your response, I must admit that I was deeply unsettled to see so much truth coming from this dream.

P.S.: Following this professional interview and the phone calls with this man, who is the regional director for this decoration company, I dreamed this weekend that I was with him in that very store. The atmosphere was very friendly with everyone, there was a lunch, and he was charming me a little... and the dream ended with him kissing me... What is the message behind this kiss?

I look forward to hearing from you, and a big thank you for what you do. It's great.

Valérie

Good evening lafoye,
I’ll get back to you as soon as I can lol
It's getting late there, so I'm going to rest.
Thank you for the feedback on the dream interpretation, and on that note, I wish you a sweet night.
Friendly
Ladysally

No problem, Ladysally! Reply to me as soon as you can, there’s no rush anyway.
I am fascinated by the sense of reality in the dreams we can have, especially since I never usually remember them.
I knew that some dreams or nightmares reflected current anxieties, but I actually wonder whether our unconscious doesn’t get ahead of us after all, guiding and leading us to make the right choice for ourselves, like a little inner voice of wisdom? So, premonition?
I have been very attached since the beginning of the year and strongly believe in coincidences and that there is no such thing as chance. Even the smallest details of everyday life in general, I have recently realized that they have an enormous meaning in my current and future life…

I look forward to hearing from you, and rest well.
Kisses

Valérie

Hello lafoye,

Store: difficult choices and decisions, selling ideas to others

Good atmosphere: good working and living conditions, etc.

Lunch: the first meal of the day where you recharge your energy, the conviviality,

To kiss: a desire for love, it is linked to the mouth; as it comes from the mouth, it is linked to the vital breath, and therefore to the spirit that animates this life. “We tell each other that we are united in spirit.” The kiss is the symbol of union, peace, love, and sometimes of betrayal.

summarize:

You have a choice to make, a decision to take, and I think the choice will be the right one because there is a good atmosphere, a sense of camaraderie, and a unity around creativity, etc.

Affectionately :-*
Ladysally

Thank you very much, Ladysally, for your work.
Yesterday, I had my second interview with this company, so it was about selling ideas.
As you say, I will soon have a decision to make, although it has already been made for me, but by the beginning of next week at the latest, I will learn their decision regarding my hiring…
I'll keep you posted. I have a good hunch, but reality forces me to wait for confirmation.
Kisses and thank you for your interpretations.

Valérie

Hello lafoye,
Yes, as they say, you shouldn't sell the bear's skin before you've killed the bear. And don't worry, even if you don't have the space, you won't be left without work (because you have potential and you are creative), so stay positive, and I hope to hear some good news from you. That said, I thank you for the trust you place in my work. Awaiting the opportunity to speak with you again, please accept my sincere regards.
Affectionately :-*
Ladysally

Thank you, Ladysally, for your very kind message; it means a lot to me.
I look forward to speaking with you again.

Kisses and a very good weekend.

Valérie

Good news, Ladysally!

I was hired by that company this afternoon. I start my job on June 12. I’m super happy!!!
How the kiss in the second dream truly signified union. And that my first dream was a premonition of the field of activity “men in white blouses: artistic” and yes, I am going to work in decoration.
Still to be unraveled is my romantic fate: “Smoke: Passion and Castle ‘Peace between you and a third party’.” To be continued!

With warm regards, and see you next time for another dream…
Bravo for your performances anyway!!!
Kisses :-*

Valérie

Good evening Lafoye,

Thanks for the dream interpretation, so all that's left is to wait for love, hehehe.

Thanks for the compliment too, and I'll see you next time.
With affection

Ladysally :-*
