Dream by Warren Woodhouse

I had a weird dream last night. My dream was me and my mum walking through a field of red roses and I saw loads of Frisian cows stood on top pastel blue houses. I felt at peace and calmness filled the air. The cows were definitely funny being on top of houses, it doesn’t make sense, yet my mind made it feel that way.

Dreams can be really vivid and interesting, they are often full of symbolic imagery and it's natural to wonder what they mean. A lot of dream analysis is very personal.

If you put it all together, the dream could be about a time in my life when I felt a strong sense of love and security (the roses and my mum), but there might also be an underlying feeling of things being a little strange or chaotic (the cows on the houses). It's a beautiful mix of warm, loving imagery and some more unusual, thought-provoking symbolism!

One time, I was in such a deep dream that I thought I saw myself sleeping. I reached out to touch myself sleeping and I knew I felt a hand and I quickly woke up. Nothing was there. It was 2 in the morning. I couldn't get back to sleep. I spoke to someone who knows about the dead and he said it was me reaching out for myself in the Lucid Dream world.

Scary dream/nightmare. I was with a few people and then we hid up in some abandoned little diner-style cafe overlooking a square, plaza. While waiting here, I found some scorpions, one of them attempted to kill a friend and it cut open my friends back to get to the juice. We killed it and ran away.

I dunno which friend it was, though. Finally got out of the cycle of nightmare, escaped across the rooftops to a rooftop overlooking a Naval Base. Unknown location, so bare with me. Managed to get to ground level and ran 1 block before panting out of breath. At this point, we rested at a bar and I ordered a beer, unknown brand. It tasted sweet and sugary, green bottle, red cap. When I woke up, I could taste beer froth on my mouth but I’ve never drank beer before going to bed last night. Weird. I did feel rather happy for the rest of the morning and throughout the rest of the day.

My first death-related dream experience of my pet, Gem, a Shih Tzu-Lhasa Apso cross. 4 months ago, in a dream I had at night, I wasn't paying attention to the design of the place I was in, I was more concerned with what she was telling me as this resonated attention.

As we spoke, her voice felt like she was preparing me. She said that I should spend more time with her, wants to hear my voice telling her I love her. She also said for me to not come when she is going to be “put to sleep” and that my thoughts should be reviewed at that time. I woke up. Spent tons of time with her. 4 months later, she lost her hearing and went blind. Mum said it was time for Gem to pass peacefully. A week later, I cried in Art Class at school. I couldn’t hold myself together. I still miss her but I see her face and her kindness everyday in all of the pets I’ve ever had. I thank Gem for giving me a blessing and a heartache.
