Giant yellow hand

[PennyRoyal]

This is a dream that I had constantly as a younger child, it is something I've always wondered about but not enough to think about what it may have meant at the time. I apologize that I can't exactly remember what was going on in my life at the time, but I had this dream consistently in my youth(at least 20 times) The dream always starts with me walking towards my bedroom door down a dark hallway. The floors are hardwood and cold, each board creaking beneath my weight as I walk onward toward my room. I reach the threshold of the doorway and peer inside warily. I sense that something is wrong but I'm not sure why. My bedroom isnt really my bedroom, but Dream me doesn't notice of course. There is no bed, dresser, or anything. The room is completely empty save for one thing - in the room on the wall that I am facing there is an enterance to a water slide. Have you ever seen the movie 'Blank Check'? On the top floor of the mansion he has the enclosed waterslide that he can jump into and it takes him to the pool? Just like that, but instead of a blue tunnel it is a very dark green. I can hear the water steadily pouring down the slide. Suddenly I know that the time has come and I must make it across the room to the slide. My heart begins to pound in my chest and I sprint full speed across the room for the slide. I get about halfway through the room before I hear a very loud CRASH!!! I look to my left and a giant yellow hand has smashed through a window that wasnt there before. It reaches into the room and grabs me around the waist. When it has a grip it yanks me outside and throws me. I am moving at such incredible speed I can't even see the outside world, it is nothing but a blur of vivid colors. I feel the sensation in my stomache that occurs when traveling at high speeds, and I wake up. Thank you for taking the time to read this, as I said this is a dream I had in the past and have absolutely never forgotten. I don't have some dire inner need to dissect this and find out what it means. But I thought it would be interesting to discuss it with people.

The dream shows that you are approaching your own personal point of view, one you could be expected to live very at ease with (walking towards my bedroom) by using a losing way of thinking that contains no intelligence. (down a dark hallway) The wood floor refers to a principle of knowledge. Thus where you try to make progress based upon knowledge this idea leaves you cold; leaves you feeling very unenthusiastic. (floors are hardwood and cold) The principle or policy of using knowledge has not been well maintained. (boards creak) [Since you were a child when this dream came to you it would suggest that within the mind of your parents and their belief system {assuming it was their house} the idea of acquiring or acting upon knowledge was not encouraged.] You can sense that there is something wrong with a point of view come to in this manner. The mental attitude you have been given to call your own is not really yours own. (my bedroom isnt really my bedroom) There is an unrealistic view of what your personal point of view should be. The lack of furniture implies you have been given a point of view that serves no real purpose. The empty room indicates that there is room for a new point of view, in this case for one that places a focus upon “a water slide”. (room is completely empty save for one thing – an entrance to a water slide) The water slide represents a situation in which the Spirit (water) sets one on a losing course (slide downwards) in order to end up in a spiritual situation of greater depth or quality. (one ends up in a deep pool) In this case this is a mental set-up. (slide is located within a house) Instead of having spiritual approval (a blue tunnel) it reflects simply worldly thinking which greatly lacks in intelligence. (very dark green) The downward or losing aspect of this set-up which does not let up is very noticeable. (can hear the water steadily pouring down the slide.) Getting into a point of view which puts its focus upon this type of mental set-up seems to fill you with anxiety or dread. (my heart begins to pound in my chest) A hand represents the idea of doing things. The giant hand implies that the importance of the idea of doing, or being very active, has been greatly exaggerated. It is also seen as an idea that is coming from the left side, i.e. from Satan’s side rather than from God’s. By smashing through a window, the idea of doing things enters the mind in a way that can be seen as “breaking and entering”, i.e. it enters illegally – not according to God’s Laws. Being yellow, the hand appears to reflect a feeling of intelligence but it can also simply reflect human rationalization. The idea of putting so much importance on “doing things” comes into the mind (the room) in a way that there was no way for you to look out or be careful in relation to this idea of doing things. (smashed through a window that wasn’t there before) You feel taken with or held by this idea of doing things or perhaps keeping active. (grabs me ) In reality (outside) the idea of doing things has you moving along so fast that all you experience are emotions (nothing but a blur of vivid colors.). You are given no time to see or understand the real world. (I can't even see the outside world) The speed at which you are kept on the move, has an effect upon the body itself. (feel the sensation in my stomache) [such as feelings of stress?] It might also produce feelings of sickness which often occur in the stomach for children. [Where you brought up in a household where the principle that “the devil makes use of idle hands”, was used? Where you given any time for reflection or daydreaming? Intelligence is not maintained through constant activity. One needs to have time to think.]

Thank you, this was very interesting. This was my grandparents house and they were religious folk, however they did not use the "devil makes use of idle hands" principle. I was definitely allowed to daydream, they were not strict in that regard.
