Reflect on dream, bit by bit
Hi sweethart,
In order to analyze this dream I think you need to divide it up in bits and give various symbols a good think - in the context of how you interpret certain things, your past and your present.
Firstly it is your grandmothers house; Where is it? Do you have happy memories from there, strong memories, sad memories etc? What about your grandmother?
House - symbol of the self, emotions, hidden emotions, qualities in you etc. Each part of a house; the celler, the garden, the balcony etc symbolises somthing. It does not have to be archetypes (interpretations that are known by all humans), it could also be what you associate to a word, an expression, a type of room or house body.
Fire and/or explosives - symbole of strong emotions or destructive elements in yourself and give the expressions: "blowing up", "rocketing", "highly explosive", "destruction" etc a good ponder in the context of your situation. Please reflect on the fact that your grandmothers house was actually unharmed.
General chaos - cars flying, destruction all around, catastrophy etc could be that you fear something or sense something big is happening - but it does not have to be actual destruction. It could be change.
The part about the man with the arrows up his butt is obviously the most surreal part. Consider less spectacular intrepretations. Arrows archetypes sometimes means phallic symbols or indicators, but it could actually be a simple "pain in the butt". ;-)
Smell or bad odour is quite uncommon in dreams, I think. It could be a sensation reinforcing the emotions of the dream; in this case something negative, rotten or "not smelling of roses" , as in the expressions; "this whole thing smells" or "it smells fishy". Somthing hidden behind the surface could be wrong.
I know nothing of this gives you an exact key, but only you could find out what the dream is actually about. Remember that if the interpretation is too obvious, it is probably more complicated than you think.
