Mahogany, life & death and humour in anguish

[Idolfan]

I have much more apparent dream themes, but I just did a recap and I cannot understand these. I'll give more details: I dream about old corridoors/rooms filled with mahogany based walls, furniture and decorations associated with them. It's probably an echo of my grandma's house which was recently sold. One dream involved being in a clasroom with furniture like this and Hogwarts. My friends dumped me because they said I was being racist and I found a minature coffin with a mouse in it that I brought back to life, but when it scuttled out I was intensely afraid of it. Another life and death dream included a woman telling me about how she murdered her daughter with acid filled balloons. I watched the graphic death scene and later found her body hidden in a forest. I was not disturbed by any of it at all. Once again they lived in an old mansion, all posh. She and her daughter wore white gothic dresses. It seems the two thems have been running together. Finally, though this is less common I've been dreaming about me and my stepbrother finding people's anger hysterically funny. In one dream we watched a fight between a woman and a punk and the woman thrashed him, we were laughing so hard about it. My most recent one was watching a pre-war video of a Japanese Emperor going crazy and violently blaming his whole assembly for it; we were in stitches. It's strange because it's always me and my stepbrother, and it's always the same theme, very precise. Just wondering if anyone can inerpret these if they mean anything at all. There's more obviously in my dream journal (Idolfan's...). Thank ye

I dream about old corridoors/rooms filled with mahogany based walls, furniture and decorations associated with them. It's probably an echo of my grandma's house which was recently sold. One dream involved being in a clasroom with furniture like this and Hogwarts. My friends dumped me because they said I was being racist and I found a minature coffin with a mouse in it that I brought back to life, but when it scuttled out I was intensely afraid of it. This one seems like maybe exploring some memories of your grandmother, maybe brought up by the "end of an era" in having that house closed and that chapter of your childhood with it. Houses often seem to represent aspects of self, and in this case it feels like its your memories. The sequence about Hogwarts sounded like it was connected to the house dream only by the furniture? Taking a stab at that, could the classroom setting have indicated childhood or issues rooted in your school days? THe friends ostracizing you seems to indicate some feelings of being left out or inadequacy; mice can also mean fear or feelings of inadequacy. The coffin seems to be calling attention to a the fear as something that's been dying away anyway, but instead of letting it fade out, you are bringing it back to life - hence the feeling of fear. Is there something in your current situation that's dredging up these old feelings? Another life and death dream included a woman telling me about how she murdered her daughter with acid filled balloons. I watched the graphic death scene and later found her body hidden in a forest. I was not disturbed by any of it at all. Once again they lived in an old mansion, all posh. She and her daughter wore white gothic dresses. It seems the two thems have been running together. The mother seems to indicate your nurturing aspect, while dreaming of witnessing murder can reflect deep-seated anger. Could this mean that the mother, who is going against her purpose and instincts by murdering the one she is supposed to nurther, mean that you feel you have been too angry or have too much anger in your life, and need to attend more to your nuturing side victim is a child, and the murder weapon is a symbol of childhood; is there a way this relates to you? Perhaps anger at childishness, yours or that of another, or maybe a feeling that your anger is childish? Finally, though this is less common I've been dreaming about me and my stepbrother finding people's anger hysterically funny. In one dream we watched a fight between a woman and a punk and the woman thrashed him, we were laughing so hard about it. My most recent one was watching a pre-war video of a Japanese Emperor going crazy and violently blaming his whole assembly for it; we were in stitches. It's strange because it's always me and my stepbrother, and it's always the same theme, very precise. Just wondering if anyone can inerpret these if they mean anything at all. There's more obviously in my dream journal (Idolfan's...). Thank ye This seem to maybe tie into the dream about the mother murdering her daughter. Once again, you seem to be minimizing anger or dealing with an anger problem. Here, the dream seems to be showing that a sense of humor or laughing is a better way of dealing with a situation than anger; and maybe you have started to ease off and laugh now at things that would have once made you angry? The step brother likely represents some aspect of yourself, possibly your masculine side? In conjunction with the above dream, it does seem you're feeling more you should embrace your feminine, nurturing side and teach the masculine side to calm down and laugh? Hope that helps.
