Fragment
Not sure what the rest of the dream content was... moret memorable was looking in the reflect of a sliding door and deciding to summon a dream character. I flipped through 5 people in the reflection before I chose one to walk out of the reflection and be real.

Dream
An epic and exhausting dream about an end of world apocalypse where I was constantly on the run from near miss death experiences... Dodging falling debris as earthquake brought down city sky scrapers. There was a cloud of strictnine (what ever that is?) that was toxic and was eating up the east of the city. It was fast spreading to me. I was in a car with other survivors and we were fleeing the cloud.

Soon we came a cross a wide river and some of us gave up hope. I managed to cross the river with 5 others as the cloud killed everyone else on the other side of the river we crossed. We become cornered and 5 of the survivors take cyanide pills and suicide. I am left with a girl to meet our ends.

As we are about to die we teleport to a kitchen where the girls mother is cooking something. The girl and I have a conversation, but suddenly I share the girls thoughts. She groans in despair, realising she has teleported back 7 years in her life to a time when she was locked in the house considered insane. I now share her mothers thoughts and what she see. She sees her daughter raving into thin air when talking to me.

Surfing massive waves and eagerly walking with a fishing rod to the end of the pier to fish... but I get frustrated because I never get there and really want to catch a fish.

Dream of: 13 January 2014 "Nature Preserve"



put yourself in the animal's place

I'm standing in front of the Farmhouse (on my father's Gallia County Farm) and looking down toward Symmes Creek at the bottom of the hill. I'm trying to see if any fish are in the water, but something seems to be clouding the water. I think the creek might have been fished out, but then I see quite a few small bluegills only about three centimeters long which are swimming along.

I keep looking at the water until I see a small black furry animal which appears to be swimming under the surface and occasionally sticking its head up above the water. Then I see a second similar animal and I think there might even be more. I think the animal might be a beaver, but it has a different form than a beaver and its coat looks sleeker than a beaver's coat. I know that beaver are in the creek, but this animal appears to be something different. When one of the animals breaks completely above the surface, I conclude that its an otter. I'm excited because I don't remember having ever seen otters here on the Farm. I'm happy to see them.

I see something else which I've never noticed before: a huge boulder sitting on the edge of the creek. The boulder has an irregularly shaped circular top which is perhaps thirty meters in diameter. The boulder has a rough flat surface on which is sitting some kind of furry animal. I keep looking at the animal and trying to figure out what it is, when I finally conclude that it is a gray monkey. I've never seen a monkey here on the Farm, so this is also interesting. I conclude that more and more animals must be inhabiting the Farm than previously. I have the feeling that various animals have become accustomed to sitting on this boulder and in a way it almost seems like a miniature nature preserve.

A female forest ranger is walking around in front of the Farmhouse when a man and woman show up. I listen to the conversation as the man and woman talk with the ranger and I become cognizant that they're talking about a government program in which a person can become a "supervisor" of a section of land. Apparently the boulder on the creek bank in front of the Farmhouse belongs to the government, and the man and woman are talking about becoming supervisors of this boulder.

As soon as I have the opportunity, I begin talking in private with the forest ranger and I ask her about this program. She says that an auction would take place to obtain the supervisory position over the boulder. She says that the lowest bid would be $5. I immediately decide that I want to take part in the auction. The man and the woman hear me talking with the ranger and I can tell that they're upset because they're the ones who came up with the idea, and now I'm taking over. It turns out that they live only a few kilometers away from the Farm. I point out that I live in this Farmhouse right in front of this boulder. I therefore have a greater claim on obtaining the permit than they.

Meanwhile, the ranger has been checking on the price. She now says that the lowest bid will be $250. I think to myself that even if I have to bid up to $1,000, I would still want the permit. I want to be the one who is responsible for this boulder.

Dream Commentary

It is striking how people who write dreams on the Dream Journal web site practically never advocate for anything in their dreams. Religious, political and social issues rarely arise, at least as far as I have seen. By way of illustration, when I do a title-search for the word "Republican" on the Dream Journal web site, I come up with 5 results, and a search of the word "Democrat", I come up with 4 results. The word "movie", on the other hand, gives me 555 results. Those results reinforce my observation.

I think the word I'm looking for is "compassion". I rarely see it in the dreams I read. What I do see is an extreme amount of self-absorption. I am particularly aware of this in the relations of dream-writers to animals. Rather than protecting animals, many dream-writers are far more concentrated on how good the animals taste. For them, as they stuff themselves with meat, an advocate of animal rights is simply a target of their compassionless mockery.

Just as I did not want the encroaching man and woman in this dream sitting in my front yard, so do I feel about self-absorbed dream-writers who have no compassion for animals. This is the message I receive from fish and otters and beavers and monkeys in my dreams, and I hope they will continue to talk to me with the compassion I need to free me from my own self-absorption.

Dune-based, a Fremen leader has just died and everyone's chanting the name of someone they're choosing for the new Naib, a well-respected middle-aged man known for being level-headed. But they're interrupted by Paul and Jessica, performing some Bene Gesserit trick with light that makes them appear god-like, a move to take power over the Fremen. It works. I find it extremely distasteful.

I was again situated in abroad country, this time i think it was Romania. I can not be sure because i was in some gheto with lots of chineese people. I think it was Romania because of their money. Well here it goes.. i was in this gheto, and everybody was looking at me, they seemed hostile. They were sneaking around me like they were trying to rob me. So i tried to protect myself and i am headed to enter the first building on my way .I see an open door, it looked like a shop. Im walking towards the entrance, when some big sturdy guy in blue jacket was walking to that door in the same time. He was aproaching from the sides.. and at entrance he bumped into me with heavy force. He was sturdy as a rock. I think he said that i cannot enter, but i didnt understand him because i dont speak romanian. He was gazing at me with anger.. and another guy aproached and they were all staring at me. I moved 2 steps backwards.. trying to just peacfully avoid conflict and the other guy talked to me.. i didnt understand him nothing.. I said "english maybe?" They looked at eachother smiled and said ok. They said "never buy money on the streets" and that now i can come into the building. We sat at the table, and they were talking to me about something but they werent really super good in english so i didnt understand much. I looked around the table and i noticed it is a restaurant. I was thinking to just leave the place, but i saw a group of 4 girls sitting at the next table. One looked at me and smiled, and then she started to explain something to her other friends, i think it was something about me. So i decieded to stay for a while. The second guy said that he will eat something. The first one said that the food costs around 200 of their money. I looked into my wallet. Hmmm... just bills, some euros i think there were 6 eur and 50 of their money and one weird red paper whichi thought it is also money but it wasnt. Hmm i said well maybe i can get a beer with these. But i was hungry. I checked at my other pockets, and found a lot of euros.. more than 150.. The first guy decided that he will go exchange some money.. I said wait, im going with you.. but he was to fast for me, before i came out of the restaurant he was already gone. Some one was also moping the floor and i overjumped him, just to catch that guy. And i didnt of course. I was again on the streets, people starring at me again, and i remembered hmm no buying money from the streets ok. But where is the exhange office? One guy approached me and grabed my arm. I went defensive, i grabed him back and pushed him away.. and said try this once more and i will break it. Went to other direction, it was some garage.. a lot of tough guys were waiting there.. so i decided for the 3rd way.. And of course one biiig guy is heading towards me.. and i said to myself.. is really everybody so weird in this country,. and i wake up.

Nap got me a lucid dream!

It was short, but:

Something was happening, like a big fight between groups (which is similar to a dream I had last night), so I was above this house's gate, watching the street. I thought things felt weird, so I looked around and realised it felt like a dream. Jumped up, floated a little, heard kids and remembered the TOTM. I landed to where I had been before, but started waking up. I couldn't see much and was expecting to wake up, but I didn't. I started to think about my dream so far and noticed that I always had someone helping me... Professor Oak from Pokemon. I realised he is my dream guide and called him. My vision was still blurry, but he showed up and confirmed that he was indeed my dream guide. I said I'd look for him next time I got lucid and then I woke up.

Journal Entry non-lucid #7 Dream, non-dream (Comments)
Background: Ever since school started, I had less time to sleep and more time to stress. I guess it is on sub-conscious level because I feel relaxed, but I can't remember most of my dreams. This was the only dream worthy of noting.

Dream fragment 1 from 4:30am-7:30am" Angry Dog ": I was with my dad and sister and we were heading into a house. We didn't know the house belonged to someone else, someone we didn't know. We casually walked inside and this dog started growling at my dad. I told my dad what ever he do, he shouldn't run. My dad started running and the dog instinctively came after him. I jumped right in front of the dog to distract him then I started running the opposite direction that my father ran. I told my dad to leave, and I also told my sister to leave. I picked up a chair and blocked the dog with it. The dog tried to run around it and I hit it very hard with the wooden chair. I did this until the owner came. The dog was badly injured and had a lot of cuts and blood coming out of him. We then hanged around the owner. We didn't know they had a dog. I guess my love for my family makes me vulnerable to emotions (which is good though). If the dog only came after me I think I would have handled it differently.

*beep* was the hypnagogic word i remember. Soon, a movie screen at a theater was in full view showing...what else but a movie. I guess some chase was happening and the camera showed a top view (like frogger). I tried to flip the camera to first person mode which didn't word, and the car crashed. View then zoomed out to me in the theatre (finally got my dream body) but i guess the chase continued. 2 people entered the theatre shooting stuff at me. i used some sort of hook to escape.

I wanted to find my dream guide, so i kept asking around for a dream shop. I first asked a little kid who gave me some indiscernible directions and mentioned that he was funny. I gave him a high five and focused on how his hand felt to be more aware of the tangible/feeling aspect in dreams. He then told me an indiscernible joke. I asked someone older and tried to shake their hand but they tried giving me a hug...one of those awkward greetings. He said he didn't know. I asked someone else and he gave me clear directions, but I still didn't know the area well. He said he would charge me $50 to take me. I told him that I'd give him $40 if i can hop on his back and he can just fly me there. I guess he was gay because he really liked that statement, and asked, "Where did you FIND this guy?!?" to his friends who were laughing in the background. It never happened though.

I almost visited hell again. From pitch black to red flames. i saw a vague devil like looking character who was spouting gibberish and was tired of his antics so i decided to leave. I've already talked to the devil before. I tried blasting off into space which worked this time and i ended up near some ultra hot star in space near a hippopotamus. I could feel my waking breath increase and i was still LD'ing but was half awake. I wanted to free-float in space longer, but i wasn't permitted the time.

I go to some benches and see a group of ladies there. I decide I am going to fuck the hottest one there. They were all ugly, so i pointed and created a better looking girl. She bent over, and knowing my luck, I thought it would be a guy. I turn her around to see the face, and sure enough........I swear my paranoid thoughts are always fulfilled. I just said forget the fucking.

I am in bed and stupid roommate comes into room. I try telling him to GTFO but i dont want to talk to lose lucidity. I am anxiously swinging my knees side to side wide knives in my palm on my lap. Another roommate comes in and sits down. I finally scream GTFO. one of them leaves. The other one is still there, and i say, "YOU TOO". I then feel someone choking me from behind and I tell them to stop. I tell them I'm gonna fuck them up if i have to get up. I end up getting up and looking at my hands only to find that my fingers are stubs. I realize I'm dreaming and playfully beat my roommates up and fly away.

Alright. I was standing in my room in my dream and I wouldn't think it was weird. But all the lights were off and it was dark outside so I turned on my light and I waited around 5 seconds before it turned on. I turned on a couple other lights and I turned on one more light and I kind of knew what was going on. I was in a dream, I remembered reading about RCs and it mentioned the light one, I told my sister and she said cool like it didn't matter. My dad was in the living room sleeping on a mattress and he asked me what I was doing up so I said "I'm getting something to eat" and he said "okay"

I went to the microwave and I checked my hands and it showed 5 fingers and I said to myself "put your finger through your hand" and so I did. I was surprised because the middle of my hand stretched and I looked at the side and saw my finger!

I knew I was for sure dreaming and I saw my sister floating by the door way, first thing I wanted to do was fly. I was getting ready. I ran and I went into the air like superman and I was just soaring slowly through the air until I hit the ground. As I hit the ground I woke up.

Actually my plans for my next LD were to go to NYC through a dream door, meet Karlie Kloss (a famous VS model whom I have met within my dreams quite frequently - almost like a dream buddy), go to a cafe, have a nice talk, eat some cake and explore the feelings and sesations within my LDs a little bit more... Not all of it worked out but at least most. So here we go...

It all started as a normal dream. I was on vacation with my family in a poor town in Estonia (I have never been there before - going to 'mildly strange' places all over the world is one of my Dreamsigns), but that didn't arouse any of my suspicion. We walked through this little village. The roads were quite narrow, cars parked everywhere and it was really dim because the houses on both sides of the road were quite high, the sky was cloudy and it was a late winter afternoon. We came to some sort of plaza with a little playground on it. I climbed up the slide and looked around to get a view of what's going on all around the plaza. There were two young guys apporoaching us, swearing in a language I have never heard before so my parents and I decided to leave. At one corner of the plaza there was a bakery. The whole sidewalk and the streets were covered with squishy and old bread crumbs and leaves from all the trees surrounding the plaza. My mum went inside and got us some sort of filled pastries. Right next to the bakery not even 3 meters away there was a candy shop and I really wanted to go inside. The area next to the entry was really small and full of shelves with candies - some of them known and some of them totally unknown to me ('Must be some Estonian candies' I thought). I went further inside and found a hugeeee shelf full with different cans that contained soda drinks from all over the world. This was really cool and I told my mum that I have to buy a few to taste them. The owner of the shop came to us after I told my mum about the cans and talked to us in English - he welcomed us and told us a bit about the village however (luckily) my focus of awareness shifted... to my feet! It was winter and I was quite sure that I was wearing some solid winter shoes to keep my feet from freezing but NO! I was wearing my slippers! And as if that wasn't strange enough I discovered that the right slipper was on my left foot and vice versa! I became very suspicious and tried to change it, but it didn't work. I immidiately considered that this must be a dream, but it was sooo vivid and realistic, but I kept at it and finally realised that being unable to change my shoes MUST be the most obvious sign of a dream that my subconscious mind can give me! I became lucid and instantly remembered to accomplish the goals I have set! I rubbed my hands and closely examined the dark- and light-grey stripes on the PVC floor of the shop in order to increase my lucidity - this worked amazingly well after having some major stabilisation problems in my last two LDs! I walked through the shop and found a window to leave. I opened it, looked outside and thought "OMG, it's quite high! What if I'm awake and die after jumping out!" so I tried to breathe through my plugged nose which worked. This gave me the certainty of dreaming and again increased my lucidity ever so slightly. So I jumped out, walked off and wondered "OK, I could fly to New York City, but I could also try and use a dream door (I have never done that before)" so I considered this option and soon afterwards found a wooden door behind a tree close to my home (I wasn't even in Estonia anymore after jumping through the window!). I went right up to the door with the clear intention of being able to directly enter NYC - I opened the door AAAAND... suprise: I saw the tall skyscrapers, cars zooming by and many people walking all over the place! I actually was in NYC now! I strolled along the streets a little while untill I came to a huge plaza covered in concrete with some trees here and there. At one corner was (who would have expected that after reading my plan?!) a cafe! I went there and who was waiting there for me? Yes, Karlie Kloss! JACKPOT. I greeted her and she was wearing a nice pink top and casual blue jeans - stunning as always . There was a waitress in front of the cafe who looked exactly like one of the teachers at my school. She greeted us and I told her "Hey, Karlie and I will have some cake here!" (I also told her that this is a dream and that she is nothing more than a figment of my imagination. I like saying that to random DCs! She didn't really reply to that. She just looked a little dumbfounded and greeted other customers.) I just wanted to enter the cafe with Karlie however it seems that my subconscious mind took over a little because all of a sudden Taylor Swift came around the corner and greeted me as if knowing me well. She was wearing a black top, Raybans and had her hair cut reasonably short. She took my hand and started kissing me - I was a little shocked to be honest (It was nice and all, but I didn't expect this! I have experienced similar things before - every time I started to lose focus on the fact that I am in a dream, random things and people popped up, annoying my business) - anyway. I thought "whatever! You're in NYC and Taylor Swift just kissed you... Go for it." We made out for a while right on the plaza... which was somehow really crazy. After a little while I focused on the cafe again. Karlie was gone and a guy was sitting in front of the cafe playing on his guitar. I went up to him, talked to him a little and noticed that I started to lose clarity. I rubbed my hands and closely looked at the guy's guitar, but I woke up right afterwards...

All in all, quite a successful LD with some fairly strange occurences later on that really didn't bother me at all. Especially using the dream door was quite astonishing! I'm sure this will be my new ultimate way of getting anywhere I please to go!

some how my dad managed to drive his huge white truck of this muddy hill. we were all able to bail out of the truck and have a fun slide down on the mud, but then his truck started to sink into the ground. i swam to wear it was dissapearing and dove into the water and swam down. i could just see the top black railinings that line the bed of his truck. i grabed one and pulled it above the water. hahaa its funny cuz it was a dream but when i got to back to the surface i acted like a typicall heroic douche bag, all outa breathe panting and stuff. i tried to hold onto the truck and the other boys helped me as well. i dont know how but we managed to pull the truck out of the water and onto the shore.

pretty cray

later i was at a hotel with shelly and matt jajeh. we were like getting all dressed up for osmething. miguel sheker was with us and he left his goggles in the shower.

I was visiting some city and was in maybe a bad part of town when I was mugged if not killed. It was a terrible experience, and some sigs came across me and could tell that I was in really bad shape. I could feel the intense bruising that was all over my face. I think the scariest part was just knowing that there was a human out there that could do that to me, inflict so much pain for self-gain.

Then, in a later dream, my mom had scheduled a very nice birthday party for me which involved a boat. My friends sang me happy birthday, but I was still reflecting on the nightmare I had experienced earlier. The party seemed all wrong, and I just wanted to cry and be alone. I cried my ass off and made everyone feel uncomfortable. I felt like it was meant to be tho. I would start talking about the dream and instantly be overwhelmed with fear and begin sobbing. My mom tried to console me, but it wasn't very helpful. I felt that everyone simply wanted me to get over it, but I couldn't. I crouched under a table and cried away.

I was in some sort of house that was being infiltrated and David from city roots was strategically constructing reinforcements. I attempted to help out but ended up causing more harm than good and apologized. This morphed into this lived experience/movie being watched where I leapt over a wall and encountered some high quality explosive that my "boss" wanted me to collect. I realized through 3rd person perspective his motives in asking us to gather them. He had a partner he wanted to betray. He took the huge stack of cash they had amassed and rigged it with these explosives. When his partner handled the money, kablam. I saw this happen while watching a movie with the parents and my mom remarked that this was the best part, the very end, when the partner makes some exclamation in british as he's blown up.

Going to bed at 5am isn't helping me remember my dreams... not that I'm surprised by that. Still, I remember some stuff from last "night":

1) I was living in someone's house. I know him online, and there were other two people from the same online community there. One of them opened a window too fast and dropped a perfume bottle outside. We all laughed a lot. We were discussing the sleeping arrangements, who would stay in each room.

2) I was in a small town. I have family in a VERY small town, and in my dream, it was supposed to be there. But the dream city was bigger than the real life one. Anyway, they had an RV and they were driving it around. I got a little tired and went to the bed they had offered me. I got there and saw a snake killing a lizard. It scared me so much that I woke up.

3) There was some civil war going on. I was part of a group, and there was another group trying to kill us. They kept setting stuff and people on fire, but we managed to keep our cool and handle the whole situation.

I was in a video game-like scene, one on which I would go in a set direction. Instead of going where I should, I turned down a dirt road. It was pitch black but I had a animal buddy to guid me. They a a flashing light that would go of periodically that would allow me to catch up. We got to a building, walked through and opened the back door.

There was a small quaint town. The snow was falling and the buildings had a kind of warm glow to them. My animal buddy turned into a person. We walked into a bar across the street. It had a automatic playing piano. I sat and watched it for awhile.

I was then outside shopping in what appeared to be the old clothing store I had worked at. I got the feeling the sales people were judging me because of the clothes I was wearing. I left to go back to the bar.

This time in the bar the Beatles were there singing all their songs. My friend and I sat beside Paul. I think we took his wife's seat, who wasn't Linda but an old neighbour I had once. I felt like a stranger but we never left. My friend said that I should sing a song. But I told him I was only good at songs like Shes Leaving Home. Then that song came on and I joined in singing but just barely. I kept trying to lay my head on my friends arm but it was too bony. Everyone seemed to have their heads on the tables.

I was back at the clothing store and there was a door that being blocked off. They were supposed to be building hype to the sale items in that room. To be honest though there didn't seem to be that many people in the store. When they opened the door I was first to rush and go crazy, I jumped up on top of a dresser and was rummaging through clothes. But I noticed all the other girls just calmly shopping, talking to each other. Some were at tables eating crackers. I felt stupid acting like this and I got down and a man offered me some crackers. I ate them but made my mouth dry. A lady had marble cheese and she gave me some. I walked to a big gumball machine and tried to see how it worked. I wondered if I pulled the knob without putting money in would get a gumball. It didn't work.

Then it went to a scene of my guy friend. He was climbing huge rope ladders and jumping to the next one. I think two guys were chasing him so he felt really rushed. He got to the last jump but the distance between the ladders widened. He felt as if he couldn't make the jump but the boys were catching up.

1. [Non-Lucid]
My Aunt appears to have moved house, I'm in the house with my Cousin and Mother, I open the front door and ask whats in there (theirs another door facing me), Mum replied "that's the bar" with a slight smile I replied "ah ok".

2. [Non-Lucid]
I'm at a party sat on 1 of 2 sofas with I think friends or family, we seem to be having quite a laugh.

Next I go pick up my old girlfriend Tiffany in I think a red curvy soft-top fast car, when I arrive I see her face...I think shes smiling (she also has dark brown long hair just how I remember her), she sits in the passenger seat next to me and I drive, now I'm driving down a road seems to have a lot of foil-age to my right then I cross a bridge, she asked me something don't remember what but when I replied but idk what I said {I felt anxious and guilty} (something about an animal).
We are now at the party, I think I'm sitting with her, Chris my cousin enters and sits down so I introduce her to him.

3. [Non-Lucid]
I'm in some sort of shooting game where I acquire a big gun that shoots a stream of plasma (much like the stream from a Ghostbusters ghost catcher) so I went and hid in a cabinet on the back wall of a building facing the entrance.
A guy walks in (He appears to be dressed in cowboy gear), I slowly open the cabinet door and I zapped him twice with this gun, shooting out fuzzy blue streams of plasma (really looked cool) he shook and wobbled then died.

4. [Non-Lucid]
I am at Emily's house (best friend/love interest), I called for her and decided to go into her room but she was in there naked (for the record I didn't actually see her naked as the "dream camera" was too busy watching my face, Possibly saw just her leg) and I saw and gasped then walked away all sweaty into the kitchen where someone talked to me about something, then I hear a "psst" so I turn around and shes peaking her head around the corner and gesturing with her hand to come to her, so I did and she asked "how much did you see?" in which I replied while blushing and smirking "Id be lien if i said I saw nothing...I saw everything".

Fragments:
May have seen my best friend Emily possibly dressed in blue

Prior to bedtime, I was sifting through the DV forums and stopped upon the dream interpretation sub forum. Read the sticky posts at the top and a few of the dreams posted and realized that there is nothing to really definitively help anyone help themselves in interpreting their own dreams. Wrestled with writing a article to submit, but kept asking myself who am I to jump in like that...

Still the urge persists..

At bedtime I framed up reacquainting myself with the variety of meanings in my own dreams. Focusing on recalling the keys I used to be familiar when I was keeping track diligently a couple years ago..


All I got for a dream was a very short, at first seemingly meaningless dream..

Dreamview opens into my repair shop out front. Roll up door is open to the east and my perception is facing east looking out the door. Inside its kind of dark, but outside it is bright and moderately sunny with some clouds passing by overhead.
A vehicle drives up from the west and south and parks at the south side of the shop just out of view. The doors open, I actually hear them for a change, and two persons get out. They are my wifes sisters husband and their daughter. The daughter is leading the father, happily hopping and skipping along, as they come across the front of the shop. They are headed north to something down at the other end of the building going on outside. I then woke up.

At first this seemed so short and insignificant. I closed my eyes again and meditated. Went into almost another dreamlike state. Facing east is significant. Seems to face east is to make new realizations. The dc's heading North is also significant in making spiritual progress. At the same time, from other dreams I have had, I also realized that moving upwards is also a sign of spiritual progress and realization.
The vehicle driving up from the south and west is also a symbol of moving along spiritually as is the two persons getting out of it. the vehicle represents ones self, as in body person persona. The two inside that get out represent a higher and lower self, a parent and a child... spiritual writings are plentiful with such metaphor. Male and female also has meaning. All of these things are spoken of in
Christian writings referring to teachings from Jesus as to the inner workings of spirit. All of this speaks to the individual and the inner relationships of one aspect of oneself to another. It all rings bells in texts I have read from Islam to Buddhism, to Hindu teachings and more.
As a note: One must also realize that there is not a "cookie cutter" approach to the metaphors. Meanings can shift from one dream to the next depending upon how the components present themselves overall.
