Cave like dream
A haunting dream by one of our visitors.. Can you
help?
I'm not sure if I can correctly recall all the parts of this dream, I was about 7 when I began to realize that I'd had the dream often, and after I'd spoken about it, the dream changed a little, and then eventually ceased. It may have actually changed quite a bit, but the last version I remember is this:
There is a song, a Fleetwood Mac sounding, haunting, slow song, and when I used to hear something that sounded like it, or possibly the song itself.... it would snap a realization into my mind, almost like a voice that I once heard, but couldn't place the face.
No matter how hard I tried, If I thought about the dream while I was hearing a song that seemed to be this familiar one, to try and place the exact song to the dream... the answer always seemed to be on the tip of my "tongue", like I'd forget the tune in my "dream-mind" as I was consciously hearing what I thought was the answer.
I believe my first memories of the dream were that I was standing the far corner of a dim, cave-like room, with wet, or damp, black lava-rock looking walls, and there was an opening on the wall opposite me, and on the left side, a doorway, only primitive, not with a frame or anything. The floor is sandy dirt.
Just to the left of me is a deep trough, or bathtub looking thing, carved out of the left wall. I walk to it, and peer over the side, it was filled with smoky mist, like dry ice. I remember just feeling sort of lost, or wondering what all this was. I don't remember much else in my earlier memories, but the dream changed after I began talking about it.
In the later dream, I was in the corner again, and when I walked to the tub, I notice a 70's looking ceramic frog planter (like the ones my mom used for her plants) to my right, sitting on a tree stump. I was hearing the music, and trying to place the song in my dream.. This time when I leaned over the side, everything was fake. This time there were the little black plastic spiders used for Halloween, hanging by strings, over water in the tub, and still mist flowing over the edge of the tub.
I think that I may have somehow consciously had this dream, or tried to control or change it when it came to me when I was older. The fact that I was trying to place the song makes me feel like I must've been awake, at least a little.
The dream always had a scary feel and, like I said, they began to cease when I was around 7, so I was very young when I originally had it. I have had it a couple times in the past 10 yrs. as well. This one will haunt me forever, I can still see it in my mind's eye. I'm 23 now. Please offer any input......
p.s. I'm female, and had been sexually abused as a toddler, if that helps.
Below is one look at this dream. If you find a different look to this young woman's dream, please send us you thoughts to post here.
There is a kind of sadness about the dream as if you were retreating into your dark cave to hide from what was happening around you and perhaps to you. Dark and wet and black. Not a happy combination for a child who needs love.
The up side is what I believe is the psychic or spiritual side of your dream. There is music in the cosmos. You may have heard a sample of it and that is why you can't give it a name or find the tune again. It will always be with you.
The deep trough is your look from your hiding place into the future and as you look into the mist, you can't really make anything out. There is life in the mist and a glimpse into your future that, because you don't quite know how to blow away the mist, you can't see into it. This is the key to your life and something must have been helping you see this during your trying time.
The doorway could also be another avenue into a different realm. Had you gone through that door at a very young age, you might have had a difficult time returning.
As you grow, you dream is changing. You haven't lost the dream and maintain the connection as you look for answers. The flower pot on the stump is kind of odd but I believe it holds the key to your personal growth. Plant a seed in the planter when you next visit your cave. Help it grow and you will beautify your cave with good thoughts.
Your view of the trough has changed and it now shows your cynicism of life with the fake things hanging over it. If you can believe you are a spiritual person, and you are as evidenced by your dream, you can turn that around. Go to your dream and plant a seed in the pot. Gently blow away the mists of time from the trough and look into life while enjoying the music of the cosmos.
My only advice would be to stay on a positive spiritual path while searching for your spiritual/psychic self. Your connection to the super consciousness was made at a very early age and I predict that you will grow stronger than most if you look for answers.
