"Backing up, Mutant Panda Monsters and Torn Drum"

Sometime at the end of January 2011

Dream 1 of 3

"Backing up"

I was at H's house it seemed like she lived in a log cabin in the middle of the woods.  (H is an old female friend who I have recently reconected with and I have been a little sad that she seems beaten up by life and has become a negative person). I was at her house Skyping and speaking and connecting with my extended family, H was being negative again and so I decide to leave.  The ground is covered in snow and I am driving an SUV.  I look around and see my family is in the vehicle with me. I remember asking my husband if we should change vehicles when we get to the midpoint.  I thought maybe a smaller tractor/jeep-like vehicle would make it easier for us to get home in this snow. But then I thought, "That doesn't make sense because the jeep has no top, and we would be exposed and have no shelter from the harsh weather". We arrive at a bridge and it seems like this may be the mid-point. I see a pick-up truck which seems like an overall good vehicle for us to switch to, but I see that the tailgate is almost hanging off the edge of a cliff.  There is a tree between the bed and the cab of the truck. I try to climb around it so I can get in, start the truck and back it up so my family can get in, (This is when i realized that the front of the vehicle is actually the part that is hanging off the cliff, and backing it up will save the vehicle) but my family are already following my steps, the unsafe way.  I worry that they might fall. EOD


Dream 2 of 3

"Mutant Panda Monsters"

I was in my home and there were lots of people there.  It seemed pretty normal.  I was talking to my husband and he started making fun of what I was saying.  He wasn't taking me seriously. I yelled at him and went to my home office to cry.  The ceiling of my office was made of glass, and so I can see the beautiful sky above me. I suddenly saw mutated Panda bears walking on the glass ceiling, he was walking on his hind legs like a human, they were not cute and cuddly but instead had viscious teeth and they wanted to come in.  I felt horrified. 
All the humans in the house gathered together in order to come up with a plan.  A tall African man dressed in his native robe, appeared and we let him in, he shook each of our hands, and it seemed really important that he did this, like it was a protective field or something.  He then proceeded to explain what those things were out there. He said they didn't come around dogs, so if we took our dogs outside we would be safe to go outside. Also, there was a horn, like a tornado warning kind of alarm, that would sound, to let us know that it was safe to go outside. EOD

Dream 3 of 3

"Torn Drum"

I dreamt about my uncle W (who passed away in 2009).  He was teaching me how to play the drums. I saw myself banging on the drums, and noticed a small tear in the middle of the drum, I didn't say anything and just kept playing it.  EOD


Feeling upon waking.  With the first dream, I felt very responsible for my family's safety. I could feel the snow and the cold weather.  In the second dream, I felt frightened, it felt like a major shift and change in the way we will live our lives from now on.  In the third dream, I felt strange about the tear in the drum but was happy to see my uncle again.

Dogs in my space, where's my power?

Dream
Jan 17, 2011

I was in my basement with my husband. We are standing in the room where the breaker box is, we want to shut the power to the playroom (this is my baby's room now).  There are tags indicating which switch goes to what room, I see one clearly marked "playroom" but instead of my husband switching that one off, he switches 4 of them at the same time, right underneath the switch marked playroom.  He asked me to go upstairs to check if the lights were off in the playroom, I knew it wouldn't have been, but i didn't argue and headed up the stairs.  As I go up, I see a German Shephard in my house, I am scared and I wonder how I am going to remove him. He wants to play and go further into the house, so i decided to sit on him slightly as to tame him and control him a bit.  After a while I am able to grab him by the collar and take him out.  I quickly shut the door, I then investigate and checked my other doors so he won't come in a different way.  I go to my front door, and the wind is opening and closing my glass door.  I see a big sheep dog and another dog on my porch trying to come in.  I grabbed the doorknob and closed the door shut quickly, it was difficult since it was so windy.  I turned around and there was a black Lab licking my hand, I recognize him but now I have to get him out through another door.  I go to the previous door, and the German Shephard is still there waiting to come in.  That's when my husband comes up to say, "Hey, what about the lights", I explain what happened and the I woke up. 
End of Dream

Synchronicity 1:  A few days after I had this dream, I was walking with my girls and we saw a black Lab coming towards us, had no collar or tags, a little scary but we soon found out he was friendly, my daughter remembered a neighbor getting a new dog, and so we took the dog to that neighbor and sure enough it was theres.
Synchronicity 2: Neighbors behind us never had a dog and all of a sudden they have a German Shephard in their backyard, I wonder if there daughter has been home for the holidays and it's hers.


Interpretation or Insights...
After i wrote these synchronicities, I realize the words "collar and tags"  which reminds me of the dream where the switches had tags (i think of identity) the dog in real life had no tags yet my daughter knew where it belonged.  Clearly the dogs in my dream didn't know where they belonged, i felt like they were trying to invade my space, like they were coming in without permission, clearly crossing a boundary.  But they just want to play???? Is someone trying to shut off the power to my playroom??? Am I not allowing myself to play???  What are the different types of dogs trying to tell me???  It is interesting that one is a German "Shephard" and the other a "sheep" dog, and I felt like i was herding the dogs away from the inside of my house. 4 dogs and 4 switches.  When someone else is in control of my "power" I no longer can control what comes into my space, my living space. 

Insights are welcomed.  Start with " If this were my dream..." and keep it in first person as if you are experiencing the dream for yourself.... refrain from saying "you"

example... If this were my dream i'd wonder why I didn't speak up when my husband asked me to go upstairs and I knew that he shut off the wrong lights, also for me dogs may mean a man's best friend, loyalty, playfulness.  So I'd wonder why are these loyal pets (which aren't mine) trying to come in?  I wonder if the dogs are the playful parts of me that want to be recognized and allowed back in?

Also pulled a tarot card, "The Lover's" here is an image.
