elionwyrI had a few weird ones this weekend.
One plot involved a Pakistani man who came to live with us and basically took over the house - somehow we were related by marriage and he was staying with us because of a funeral, but he was *so* invasive...right before I woke up, I finally confronted him and his behavior. Details are hazy. Near the end, I was looking for something and found a 4th floor crawlspace that I had "forgotten" about, so climbed a ladder to look up there. (This is typical of my dreams - as if my psyche just boards up little spaces in my mind. I never thought about it much until I had a dream of finding one of these spaces - I opened the hidden door to discover a space I had to bend down to get into, and found it was an abandoned little girl's room, with the smell of musty old death to it - I woke up freaked out, realizing I really had to deal with all the crap I was still carrying around about my abortion when I was 16...very weird.)
Another was that I was visiting my paternal grandmother (she died last year). She was very wealthy in the dream - had a huge home and was very into making me feel welcome and spoiled. (I could see this being her ideal view of her Self.) Last scene: she's smiling at me; I'm really needing to go to the bathroom; she's priming a toilet that's rarely ever used for me to use - priming by adding water to it - I go to use it and realize I'm just getting my period, so am terribly self-conscious and embarrassed...and then I woke up.
My mind is just brutal to me when it's trying to wake me up.
*sigh*
Still - outside of the obvious "get up and pee!" message - I have no idea what the rest of the dreams mean.

I believe..
Date: 2002-03-18 12:53 pm (UTC)There are, at least for me:
- prediction dreams
- "wake the frig up!" dreams
- garbage dreams (a rehashing of various images/thoughts/experiences)
- psyche dreams (sort of your own private dreamscape/dreamworld - mine usually involve houses, which are traditionally supposed to be symbols of the soul)
And I'm sure I'm missing a few.. :)
