Need help with the interpretation of a rather...interesting daydream.

**Candlelight** · 10-07-2011 10:07 PM

I was in school and BAM, sort of...just imagined this place. I think it was a daydream but it only lasted a few seconds. Still, an interpretation would be very much appreciated! Give it your best shot, I can't make anything out of it.

I was in Geography and we were covering Tuvalu which is a tropical island in the south pacific/Indonesia. I...didn't really doze off but my mind kinda wandered away and it was certainly a bit dream-like. Anyway, all that happened was I was walking through a tunnel of really vivid rainforest vegetation (no animals, just plants) with the sun shining a bit through the leaves above me. This tunnel was only around my height and a bit more, so maybe 8ft or so high? Anyway, I could hear this song playing in the background...

And as I followed this song down the tunnel, I came to this wall type thing of plants so I pulled it in half to pass through (in an attempt to find the source of the music) and as I opened it up, everything from this 'door' onwards was simply a rushing (wind sounds) mass of red+black...stuff. It was like a spiraling, infinite, impenetrable wall of fear (it was genuinely scary, I was just stood in complete awe whilst holding the 'door' open). Note that whilst I was holding it open, the music was still playing. I let go and it just went back to how it was, I opened it to check if it'd gone to see if I could pass and it was still there.

That's kinda where it ended, sorry if it didn't make any sense whatsoever! It was just really, really memorable for some reason. It's also given me motivation to get back into LDing as for some reason, I genuinely feel as if I have to get to the other side as something is there.

Not so much looking for help as I am asking simply out of curiosity. What do you think? Much obliged guys.

Oh, and apart from the song/wind when it was open, there were NO other sounds. Absolutely dead silent bar those (well, those and my footsteps etc).

Were your eyes closed or open?..
In my opinion i dont really think you can interpret daydreams. as its just whatever your thinking about at the time, that songs probally just stuck in your head. as for the spiralling whole of nothingness or whatever, id say you just slipped into a meditative state, body and breathing relaxed to the point you got caught up in the daydream

In or outside of the 'dream'? In, open. Out, open I think too, but I wasn't really paying attention. They might've been closed for all I know, it was fairly realistic.

The whole relaxation point is interesting, thanks for the insight!

If your eyes were open in real life then yes just a day dream, where you unfocus on whats going on around you and focus inside you, I wouldnt care too much to interpret it, but definetly try and improve upon it, sounds like youve got good visualization skills, do you meditate by any chance? as for the relaxation thing, thats what meditations like at points, suddenly your mind just lets free, you forget about the body and just get lost in the mind, its an incredible experience, though can be very daunting at first, its experiencing a whole new experience for the first time. Just dont be afraid, theres nothing to fear
