Thread: Recent Vivid Dream

I recently had a dream that had several powerful symbols from my life in it and I would love feedback on the dream from anyone who is interested in discussing.

Two years ago a relationship with a woman I loved dearly ended, and I didn't really want it to end. I think sometimes I would love to have it restart, but it's just not going to happen. She left because of "instability" reasons, basically I quit my job and was pursuing artwork for a while, now I've returned to a very promising career.

So...

We are on a boat on a river in china, emerald cliffs rising above us, waterfalls, just like the paintings you might have seen from the chinese masters. We are on the top deck of a massive boat, talking and embracing. She is telling me that she really just wanted to give me space, so that I would become motivated again (we've never had this conversation in reality) and that she is ready to come back to me.

I tell her that I am not interested and that I feel like she abandoned me. Right as I say this, we begin to pass a section of the cliffs where there are thousands of seated buddhas made from all kinds of different precious metals and stones. They are all different and looking down directly at me.

I feel like I need to get away from her and I begin to look for another part of the boat to be in, where i can be away from her.

When i get to the exit, there is a swarm of wasps blocking my way, i try and get stung several times, at which point I wake up.

I've tried to do some research on this, but have gotten nowhere.

I'd like to learn more about some of the larger symbols: the river, boat, buddha or religious icon(possibly also teacher), ex lover, mountains, wasps, blocked exit.

Anything else you might spot would be grand.

Thanks.
