    I was in a library, apparently in the horror section. I saw three books. Two had covers of trees in sepia tone. They had dirt roads, and were really eerie. The first was titled "incendia" with a small i

    The title "incendia" would be a command in Spanish telling someone to burn something. In my dream in meant "burried treasure." The book was about a treasure burried in some really scary woods.

    The next book was titled "ha habducida" which meant "you have been abducted." Again, this was set in some really scary looking woods.

    The third book made this one of the best dreams I've ever had. There was a Tyrannosaurus Rex chasing a little boy about age 4. The Tyrannosaurus was painted in a patchwork of pastel colors. The boy was a shadow. The title of the book was "GOD HATES YOU"

    The boy was supposed to be the only person in this prehistoric world. I thought about the setting and understood the title.

    I thought about this collection of books and wondered what would inspire someone to read them. I then thought that if I were a librarian, I would probably read every book in the library including these books as I'd want to be able to say that I had read every book in the library.

      That is scary and hilarious at the same time. I suppose God would have to hate that boy, to set him on all sides with dinosaurs. Or else he's the new Job, and God made a deal with the Devil to test the hell out of him.

      It seems, overall, like the dream could be about childhood. A burning treasure could stand for a growing baby in the womb. And the scary woods could be how life looks to us when we're newborn and can't see for crap.

      The "abduction" would be the removal from the womb, which is a somewhat secure place, into the scary woods of the external world.

      And then, when we do see and recognize things, everybody else in the world looks like an enormous monster to us! We eat from our mothers and identify with our mothers. So we probably fear that our mothers will eat from us -- or, since we're so small -- eat us.

      If our parents hate us enough to eat us, and if they are the most powerful forces of our lives at that point in time, i.e. gods, then God does, in a sense, hate us -- at least, to our infantile minds.

      I have a friend who also analyses dreams. In this case, I think each book was about the things as they were titled and pictured; one just happened to be a children's book.

      The buried treasure dream was weird. I mostly liked the detail I was able to see: the title and the picture. The whole abduction thing was scary. In my dream, the title seemed rather indifferent for the circumstances. The children's book was just a trip. I still love it. It was just the one dinosaur chasing the boy, but how did he get there? No parents? Out of the blue he's the only person in this prehistoric world?...and how cruel the title.

      My dreams are often not that vivid, but lately they seem to be getting better in many ways. I've been working on it...kind of...for almost a year.
