Dreaming....

Everyone in my house is having really vivid, wild dreams. I have dreamt of a fox, a rat?, a humongous bridge that I decided not to cross since it was falling apart and a friend that I have been worried about. Bird earrings and a restaurant.

Rose told me that when you start having vivid dreams it's a sign that you are becoming mentally "well"; your subconscious is ready to let your conscience know what is going on so it can heal. You will notice that during times of crisis you tend to dream less, it is afterwards that you get the wild stuff. That may be true to a certain extent, however, I used to have a recurrent dream of a tidal wave that I would always have when I was in the thick of a mess.....course once I figured out what it meant, I haven't ever had it again. And I haven't created quite the same kind of messes for myself....

Anyway, according to the dream book and animal medicine cards my dreams mean:

Fox: become invisible, watch what's going on, use your cunning, danger from rivals (!!!) WTH?

Rat: hidden enemies (!!!) Again, WTH? Warning signal, nagging thoughts and doubts.

Bridge: now I just figured this meant I was not ready to cross the bridge when I came to it but according to the dream book it's a place of danger and falling, crossing a boundary. Symbolic of uniting, reestablishing relationships (hmmm, this friend..??) What the condition of the bridge is most important (umm, it was falling apart, metal bars literally falling into the abyss, which is why I decided not to cross it) Supposedly, when you cross the bridge you have done a lot of inner work and changes have taken place. There's a lot more but geesh....

Kinda makes me want to go back to bed and put the covers over my head.....course I'm not sure my mentally well self needs to know any more...

I wonder if the fact that both animals were shedding means anything?

I wonder if any of this means anything?

Yikes.

To whomever I have rivaled or enemied....Sorry! Can't we just talk about it? Or let it go?

Maybe I shoulda dreamed the bridge was on fire? Have I burned a bridge?

I think I'll stick with my interpretation: "Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide....."

*Edit*

Went to a really cool site after I wrote this, here's what they had to say:

Fox
To see a fox lurking about in your dream, represents cleverness and resourcefulness. You need to use your insight and intellect to solve some problem. Perhaps you need to conceal your thoughts and/or remain silent. Alternatively, it indicates a period of isolation or loneliness. It is a good way for you to use this time to reflect.

Rats
To see rats in your dream, signifies feelings of doubts, guilt and/or envy. You are having unworthy thoughts that you are keeping to yourself but are eating you up inside.�Alternatively, it denotes repulsion. The dream may also be a pun on someone who is a rat.

Bridge
To dream that you are crossing a bridge, signifies an important decision or a critical junction in your life. This decision will prove to be a positive change with prosperity and wealth in the horizon. Bridges represent a transitional period in your life where you will be moving on to a new stage.
To dream of a run-down bridge, indicates that you should not contemplate any major changes in your life at this time.

To see a bridge collapse in your dream, denotes that you have let a great opportunity pass you by. http://www.dreammoods.com/



Course now I'm just more confused.....

"Don't try denying living on the other side, all your life.....you were on your own....."
