creepy message writen in red

i am a happily married 34 year old mother of 3. i am very distrubed by the dream i had last night.
i get along as well as can be expected with my inlaws :) and extended family.

my dream starts

i vaguely remember the start of the dream.. my family went to visit the inlaws to check out there new place. it was a very impressive run down old mansion. 3 storey's with large rooms and hidden passages..

my in laws had only done up the ground level floor and was quite nice and very livable.
they started to show us around..

My sister in law showed me her part of the ground floor mansion, she showed me where her and her husbands bedroom and bathroom were. there was also an attaching room that was to be her expected childs room.. a nice sized room ajoining there main room.
the rooms atmosphere was darkened and gloomy compare to the well kept bedroom and bathroom.

when we went into the attaching room i notice a waredrobe cupboard. i thought it was a a large walkin wardrobe when i entered.. i said "wow this is huge!" only to discover that there was a
T-section hall way at the end of it with a closed door on each end.. i opened the door to the left
and followed a slighty spirled darkened dusty stair case up to the second floor.. i think i was accompanyied by some of my relatives but who they were was not established..

i found myself exploring the second floor.. i thought it was great! how exciting this place was!
semi furnished with old original furniture.. and antiques..

one of the rooms was spralled with antiques and brickabrack that was obviously collected from around the house.. original items antiques,, old stuff all layed out presented beautifully on the the floor and tables. some weired things like totum tribal poles made of coconut husks and craved trible man and six pointed 3d stars.. along with other more tradional things like silver ware, tea pots and an aray of other valuable stuff that would have been collected from rooms in the house. the room atmosphere was clean white and fresh feeling.

the other people with me agreed that the items would be worth a lot of money and there are some valuable items amounst all the stuff..

then the creepyness started..
while exploring other rooms.. i got seperated from the other people.
i found my self in a large run down old kitchen, large bulky old kitchen benches and rangehoods the walls were a light pastel green... it was slightly darker than the previous room, with all the items.
i now recall the room with the items was probably a large dinning room..

an arch way lead from the large kitchen to an open plan room with lots of little semi enclosed rooms attached to it. arch ways were the door ways to the rooms some just had large pilars seperating them from the large open plan room..

the large open plan room may have been a ball room or some thing.. but the attaching rooms through the archways had semi furnishings in them like cradles and single beds and one room looked like it could have been a childs play area like a play room.

i turned left towards the far end of the open plan ball room and walked along just looking around and pearing into rooms as i walked by.. when i looked into an open doored bedroom with 2 single beds side by side, i noticed someone sitting on the end of one of the beds, i looked again and they had vanished.. maybe a child or young adult ghost?

i was creeped out by this because i new it was a ghost.
i tryed to go back to the others.

on my way back i glanced at a kids style open play room and i seen a message written in what i think was dark red paint "THE END IS NOW" i turned away and briefly looked back and i seen being written as i looked "NEW MESSAGE THE END IS SOON"

i knew i was on the 2nd level of the house.. and i wanted to to have a look on the 3rd because i felt an over whelming feeling of curiosity.. i vaguely knew there where 6 bedrooms and 3 bath rooms up stairs. but i was to scared to go up and look around.

i deciced to try to find someone to go up with me and i woke up!

can someone please help interprat this dream?

"Now you see me, now you don't" is a typical dream phenomenon when you look again things may change in a dream. However, your mind wished to rationalize it, so you decided it must have been a ghost and spooked yourself. Also by that time you had already been a bit spooked by being separated from your family in a strange large and complicated house. These kind of houses, especially old houses, are often said to have ghosts of a past prior to the current inhabitants, so your mind may have also conjured up a ghost because it went with this house's decor.

I think this dream may also have the meaning of the importance of family staying together, or if family get separated bad things start to happen.

The creepy messages follow along the lines of the ghost. However, I don't know if you noticed the humor in them: message one says that this is the end, but then nothing happens, so message two corrects it to say ok so maybe the end is not now, but soon. LOL Your mind was trying to in my opinion rationalize why nothing happened after that first categorical and immediate statement. Oh, and then the end does happen: the end of the dream, so I wouldn't worry too much about the creepy messages.

I think being separated from family in a weird house caused you to see a ghost, which then caused you to see a spooky message because you might expect that sort of thing after seeing a ghost, and then as I said your mind corrected the message in a funny rationalizing way. I think it's ok. Take a deep breath, and don't worry too much about this dream.

oh, and ideally try to keep family together which is a good idea, but don't worry if you get separated because unlike in dreams where being alone causes scary things to happen because of expectations, in real life, usually being separated from family just results in one missing them.

thanks JoannaB :cheeky:

Do you recall what you were watching, thinking, or the events of the day prior to the dream. This can help you to find the WHY of your having the dream.

Is there something that is ending, or about to end in your life? Friendship/relationship/way of life/belief system?

Houses generally speak to our state of consciousness. How we see the world, from our perspective...Where we live, as it were....If it is someone elses house we usually are reviewing how we feel about their views/thoughts/perspectives.

EXAMPLE: In your bathroom, you are unable to urinate/defecate...This usually speaks to our feelings of being unable to release something....Usually that which no longer serves us, but is blocking us instead...I'm sure you see the metaphor here..

If I were interpreting this for myself, I would consider the journey through this house as a trip down memory lane. Seeing those things with I placed value on, and saved. For the part with the two beds and ghost, it may be memories of yourself...Perhaps younger...perhaps a past life self...or perhaps something as simple as a fear..fear of death, the unknown, or that which is beyond the physical...The messages could be referencing that fear as well.

As the forum says, the best person to interpret your dreams is yourself.

I have had haunted house dreams myself, and have found they mostly speak to my fears, and releasing my own personal demons from the realm of my thoughts...

Good luck with this one and dream on...

:P THANKS S3th

My pleasure...

Sometimes dreams will leave us asking more questions about ourselves, than they answer...Part of the journey of self-discovery I suppose...
