Folks,

I would like to share another dream that I had recently. The dream had
some interesting feelings associated with it when I woke up during the night.

The dream starts out with me in my childhood home. I am sleeping in that
house. There is a theater in the house where people go to watch a show.
The show is fancy or for the wealthy. The floods start from this area of the
house.

Suddenly there is a flood. The flood waters are coming up from the floor
and the floor appears to be liquid. I can see things swimming in the liquid
floor. I try to run away to other areas of the house, but the floor is changing
everywhere.

Sea dragons show up through the floor. I can only see there large heads.
These are Chinese river dragons like in the book "The Pearl." The Sea
Dragons are swimming around and I am jumping back and forth to avoid
them.

The house has ghosts in it which I think are old memories.

I am afraid that it is the end of the world. The sea is coming.

There is a woman in a room with me. She looks to be a normal person
and she is pregnant. Suddenly the child is born and it is a small Sea
Dragon. The head and body swim out from her. It goes into the water
of the floor.

I realize that she isn't human like I am. The police show up to take her
away since she isn't human and they know this now (before they didn't
realize this about her so she was allowed to stay around).

I try to avoid the floods from the floor but they are coming up more and
more. There doesn't appear to be anywhere else to run in the house.

[At this point, I wake up. This is a partial wakeup followed by a lucid
dream.]

In the lucid dream, I am looking at myself on my bed sleeping. I can see
myself on the bed dreaming and I know it is a dream. From the floor
beside my bed a Sea Dragon head comes up from the floor.

I can see amazing details of the dragon's head including large eyebrows,
the broad nose, and various coloring of the face area. The Sea Dragon
looks at me while I am sleeping with an expression of mirth. (At least,
I feel mirth while watching the dream in my lucid awareness.)

The Sea Dragon opens it's mouth and I see a forked, snake like tongue
come out. The tongue reaches across the space and licks my face. It
appears that the dragon is tasting me as if to judge me or test me.

(I have a feeling of being very small in comparison to the Sea Dragon.
It is the feeling that one might have when looking at a baby. There is an
idea that I get from the Sea Dragon questioning who I am, what gives me
the right to dream of this beast? This feeling comes to me after I wake up.)

I wake up. It is 3:30am. There is a feeling in my bedroom that somebody
is there or somebody was just there. This feeling comes from a sound in the
corner and a rustling sound in the other room. The curtains move in the
room and this furthers the feeling. There is a sound from the kitchen of
something falling. The hairs on the back of my neck stand straight up
and I am completely freaked out. I write down the dream in my journal.

(Later in the morning, I found a package of bagels on the floor along
with a bag of chips. These fell off the refrigerator.)

What an interesting dream. Since water in a dream usually has to do with emotions, the flood makes me think of being "flooded with emotion".

A dragon can represent the power to overcome negative emotions.

Since the woman gives birth to a sea dragon, perhaps that means that you are just now developing that power.

Marcia, thank you so much.

>A dragon can represent the power to overcome negative emotions.

This is a great idea. This fits very well with several other dreams that I have had including the Crow dream. I am certainly struggling with many personal issues that burden me with the most unpleasant feelings of panic.

This gives me the problem of changing my perspective on my life to find a good point of view from all the negative things happening to me. It seems like such a simple thing to switch from dwelling on the negative parts of my current experiences to living with the positive aspects of my life.

The apparent simplicity is shadowed by the years of pessimism.

best regards,

The dream indicates a situation in which your way of thinking – your mental attitude – is the most important issue. The childhood home can be implying that the mental attitude being used is not the most progressive. You appear to be in a state of unawareness (sleeping). In your way of thinking you have provided room for the idea of giving a performance {assuming this is live theatre} or room for illusions and delusions {if a movie theatre} . There is an aspect of yourself which seemingly expects to be entertained by a performance that simulates reality or simply by delusions. (people go to watch a show Apparently you could see the aspect of yourself entertained by such a performance as being the wealthy – meaning the aspect of yourself that has great thought power; that has a mind rich in ideas and knowledge.(wealth=money) But, it is in this area of your thinking that the flood starts to appear.

The flood would refer to a situation in which either spiritual thinking - which can include imagination - or emotions have gone beyond the boundary in which God designed them to function. The rising water can imply a rising level of emotional consciousness which appears to obliterate the rational principles on which a human is meant to stand (the floor appears liquid)This emotional consciousness can be seen inhabited by aspects of the Self that are purely emotional in nature, which would usually imply animal-like. (things swimming in the liquid floor) The rational principles intended to be used in all points of view in a human mind are rapidly becoming lost. (the floor is changing everywhere)

The dragons represent an emotional aspect of your own nature – one that can be associated with a feeling of power, especially the power felt to be coming from one’s own emotional nature. While the logic for this appears impressive (their large heads)you may have acquired an understanding of this form of power from human knowledge (like in the book)where it may be associated with an idea of value. (The Pearl) Both the terms sea dragon and Chinese river dragons seems to suggest that the emotional power being dealt with pertains to a spiritual issue. The dragon and the power it can imply are more myth than reality. It is a kind of power you need to avoid. (jumping back and forth to avoid them.)

There are still old memories or old ideas within the mind that have not been completely laid to rest. (ghosts in the house)When emotion overwhelms everything, it is the end of everything.

You are using a point of view in which you see what appears to be a quite rational feeling you have. (a woman in a room with me) Using such a feeling you have apparently conceived of an idea (she is pregnant) which is manifested in the form of a sea dragon reflecting a concept of power belonging to emotional nature. (the child is born) This concept, however, does not honour your rational nature (as she has given birth to an animal, not a human baby) You need to realize that what was seen as a rational feeling – one in human form – was not really rational as is your True Self. (realize that she isn't human like I am) The aspect of yourself that knows what is wrong now needs to remove a feeling that previously seemed rational and thus human. (police show up to take her away) The situation in your mind appears to be getting quite serious and desperate. (doesn't appear to be anywhere else to run in the house) {I’ll leave it at this point since the dream is very long.}
