Giant Spiders, Flying Monster Trucks, then a Wreck.

[TwistedNitWit]

In my dream, my father dropped me off at school, for a science class. Little did I know that my science class was going on a field trip, where we ended up going to an abandoned mine. The class was divided up into teams of 4, and every person in their teams had a mindset like there was some kind of prize at the end for some reason. Anyways, my team went down to I want to say the third floor down. We looked around and it was more like a cave than a mine. As we arrived we walked deeper into the cave we were in, it turned out to be a big spider nest. These spiders weren’t small either, they were 3 to 4 feet tall and there were two kinds. The smaller 3 foot ones were attackers which only bite, and the ones that were 4 feet tall had vivid colors and enlarged web sacks, which gave them the ability to spit acid. I told my team that I’d handle this and to follow my lead, I figured I’d take them out like I do in Skyrim by hiding in the shadows, divert their attention, and go in for a sneak attack kill. It turns out that my team left me high and dry, they took the lift we came down on back to the surface and didn’t even send it back down. So they basically left me to die! Knowing this I hid myself in the shadows, and looked around the find another way out. I indeed found another exit, it was a hole that was passed the 3 spiders on the first level of the cave, and 1 on top of a dirt ramp leading to the second level, where the hole and their eggs were. I estimated that the spiders were 15 to 20 yards away from where I was, standing around at the foot of the dirt ramp leading to the second level on the right side of the cave. I grabbed a nearby rock and threw it towards the left side so they would search for the sound. But little did I know my sneaking skills weren’t good because the spiders instantly saw me and were going for the attack. I had to think quickly, because the spiders made a formation where they were side by side to make sure I wouldn’t go anywhere. I couldn’t turn around to go on the lift, because it wasn’t there. I thought about my team and how I wished they were here. They might have backed me up if we battled. The spiders were closing in on me, but there was one thing. As the spiders were closing in there was a rock that I was able to hop on to and jump passed the spiders. It was my only option besides dying so I took it. I stood up and got ready to run, I looked at the spiders, then I looked at the rock to make sure I timed it right. Then I went for it, I sprinted towards the rock the spiders anticipated my movements and attempted to attack. The acid spiders spit out their acid towards me, I immediately juked to the right narrowly evading the acid and as I did I could literally feel the steam the acid gave off. I hopped on top of the rock avoided being bit by the smaller spiders and jumped passed the 3 spiders from the first level, the spider from the second level straggled behind because it was so far away from the others. It wasn’t that bad though I managed to run passed it and I headed for the second level. When I made it to the peak of the second level of the cave, I noticed that I had a little bit of time to goof around for a minute, so I found a wooden 2x4. With it I swung it around and smashed open any egg sacks that were close. I destroyed around 3 to 4 clusters of egg sacks, but what I just did really pissed off the spiders because they then moved twice as fast as before. I then dropped the 2x4 and headed for the exit. As I emerged from the hole, I dug around it as quickly as possible to try to cave it in, and then got a few big rocks to officially close it. I got up and noticed that it was dark outside. It was kind of nice out too, there was a nice breeze, the temperature was cool, and I could see the stars. After a minute of star gazing, I headed out I didn’t know where to go so I picked a direction and walked. Some time went by and I stumbled upon a truck depot. No one was there since it was probably late. As I continued further I noticed that there was a nearby store that was still open. I quickly went for it hoping to get inside before it closed. It was kind of like a general store but sold mainly sold tools and hardware. I grabbed an axe and went to pay; I greeted the cashier and made small talk. We joked around for a minute. Then there was the question I was hoping not to be asked. “Why was I buying the axe?” the Cashier asked. I only smiled and said “Oh nothing really, just to hack off my team mates limbs.” The cashier laughed, I paid for the axe and left. I went back into the forest head back towards the mine to kill the spiders, and maybe my team members too I haven’t decided yet. As I was getting close I noticed that there was a helicopter flying above. I was hoping that it would be like a rescue chopper looking for me, it wasn’t. I couldn’t quick make it out at first because it was so dark out, but I adjusted my eyes to get a better look. It turned around and the silhouette looked a lot like a Chinook, which is the kind of helicopter that is elongated with two propellers that the military uses, it wasn’t that either. It was flying too erratically to be a Chinook, and then I saw what it was. It was actually a flying monster truck, it was a monster truck that had a zebra pattern with a big propeller on top that made it almost look like a helicopter. I said to myself “Oh shit, that is freaking awesome!” It was pulling all kinds of aerial moves; it was spinning, flipping, and doing Aileron Rolls. Sometimes it was flipping and spinning at the same time, which made it look like it was going to crash. It was a fantastic spectacle. I heard cheering and announcements nearby, which was also the same direction the flying monster truck was landing. I walked out of the forest and was at a monster truck show. I looked in awe, it made me think about when I was younger and went to monster truck shows with my father. As it so happened my father was parked nearby in his truck. I went to him, opened the passenger door, and expressed my disappointment in him for not letting me know there was a monster truck show, and I wasn’t taken. He told me he didn’t expect to go to the monster truck show, but somehow managed to sneak in posing as one of the staff in the show. So we continued to watch the rest of the show until it ended, and then we proceeded to leave. As we were going home, he started to speed up rapidly explaining to me that he needs to, to make it over a hill ahead. But he was going too fast, and I knew that he didn’t need this much speed to make it over, I didn’t say anything because I assumed he knew as well, I was wrong. The truck ended up not only going over the hill but flew passed the hill, passed the street, beyond some trees, and then came crashing down hard in the desert. After a moment to compose myself I checked my father to see if he was okay. We both emerged from the wreck and assessed the situation, the truck was completely trashed. I circled the truck to see how the tires were. All the tires on the passenger side were flattened and the driver side tires were flattened except for the one in the back. Then we both thought of how my mom would react to the truck being wrecked, because we just bought these tires a couple weeks ago. Then I awakened. If someone is able to interpret this dream, kudos to him/her.

GOING UNDER YOUR SURFACE It looks like maybe you needed to experiment, experience, to learn in the outside world, which maybe was a resource or treasure you abandoned or felt abandoned in. Maybe four areas of you would benefit with this reward, or four is a stable number like a table, or an ideal number for a team. The third level down can be how deep you went, beneath your surface self. It was more hidden, than a resource, so this may have given way to your nest of fears. Do you fear the outside world? (Who doesn't.) But maybe in some specific way. These fears were maybe over half as tall as you, or nearly as big. The smaller would just hurt you, the bigger ones whose vivid colour I imagine might mean negative - like red for danger, purple for off, yellow for sickly, green for even sicker (maybe not blue or orange??) - and enlarged ability to spin a web of fear to trap you I would have said, but you said this allowed them to effectively burn you or eat away at you, which might amount to the same thing. Or the vivid colors could simply mean how vivid your fears are. You'd handle it, wanting other parts of you to follow. You'd use stealth, divert, and attack. Just like fear does. But your team left you, maybe because you told your team that you’d handle this, that you could do it alone. Or it may have scared you. Or perhaps this dream is about you learning to work in a team or with others. You sought another way out. (How you can recall this dream in such detail amazes me.) DIVERT FEAR You tried to divert fear, but you can't. Like an evil God, it knows before you do what you will do, and will attack. So your fears formed a block in your way. You could no longer lift yourself out of here, being abandoned by your inner help you wished was there to do battle. As the uglies closed in, you saw a piece of security you could hop on, and jump past. You took the risk, your only option. ROCK AND RUN Timing your sprint against fear, it spat out its venom you avoided by dodging the right way. You hopped in the safe or secure place, avoiding your smaller fears, and jumped passed your fears from first entering here, and so on the second level, perhaps fear is less and further away because you had already gone through it. And when you reached your second level, in some relief and spare time, you destroyed any budding new fear clusters before they could hatch, which pissed off the mother of all fears, doubling its speed. Because when you go to destroy fear, it will fight back as if it is alive. You drop that idea and exit. Interesting you used a 2x4 to bash the eggs, and might reflect the substitute for 2 teams. But a spider has teams of legs - the fearful formation of 2 sets of 4. But that the spider reflects your teams scarily leaving you is probably weaving a web that doesn't exist, and rather the 2x4 may be a creepy clevery reflection of the spidery fear you battled alone. SEARCHING FOR RESOURCES You dug to cave in that hole where that fear came from and officially sealed it off. Outside of this, now it seems you got some relief from your win, though dark. But you created a nice movement, you were comfortable, and you could see perhaps the little lights or hope in the distance you gazed at. You tried a direction, as we all are often blind in new areas, and stumbled upon the thought of your load being carried, but you could not this late. So you thought you needed tools to deal with your situation. But in your possible aggression, or too much force, you perhaps had to add humour to make it acceptable. You didn't want to ask yourself why you picked this violent method. But it passed payment in yourself when you cleverly used off the wall humour as your currency. But like most humour, it tells the truth often more honestly than anywhere, except dreams that are always constantly funny, haha, that maybe you wanted to kill yourself for abandoning you in need, for letting you down. So maybe that was all the ax was for. You had an ax to grind with yourself! But I suspect a bit of both, or really to ax your fears, and humourously to ax you, though not really. BACK INTO THE FOREST So you continued your adventure, going into the wild growth of your nature toward your inner resources to kill your fears. And maybe the as-useless parts of you; you hadn't decided yet. (They are already separated, dismembered from you.) Getting close, you realize something elevated in you was hovering above you - perhaps your hope for rescue. THE FANTASTIC FLYING MONSTER TRUCKOPTER It was an erratic thought, but after focusing and adjusting, you finally saw it was a part of you that could go on any terrain and be bigger than, and run over, anything else it battles. Not only that, it could fly above it all anyway! But maybe that is why it was flying. You said to yourself, “Oh shit, that is freaking awesome!” It was better than a rescue. It was your bigger ability rescuing you, maybe that you didn't know you had but need created. The zebra pattern might mean a camaflague that might make it stealthier than fear, able to deal with the wild, or being fast and agile. It was doing aerial acrobatics. It seems it's fantastic spectacular control made it seem out of control. But monster trucks are like that, almost defying physics for their out-of-proportion super bouncy make-up. But a flying one adds much more. Quite a vision. (Too bad they aren't real and do battle shows too.) Much better than the truck you thought before you couldn't use. CHEERING So you cheered inside, hearing the announcment this important newcomer promoted as it was landing near you. You walked out of the woods, and were in the clear in what this thing was showing, which awed you. (Was this a movie?) So obviously this vision was spurred by when younger you would see monster truck power and ability. And your father you saw them with and who started this dream, was now nearby. He possibly represents the part in you that wants to grow up and be as capable as him. You were disppointed this side of you didn't let you know you could have a monster ability, to run over your monster fears, and which flies as high as they are low. But you didn't expect this part of you to be, and your more grown side managed to sneak in when you believed you could be in control of this event. So you watched the rest of what your new vehicle could do until the show ended. GOING HOME You left that part of you to go back to your normal self, where a hill was in the way of. So you had to gain more momentum to get over it, but your knowing father side went too fast, and you knew it, but you trusted it. Perhaps you were not used to it, so didn't have full control. You bypassed the hill you needed to go over, which is probably what went before in the dream, passed the road you should be on, beyond the growth it could give, and you crashed in nowhere. Interesting your father drove a truck, that slightly flew, so you seemed to retain, or wanted to repeat, the past abilities you saw in the Super Flying Truck which you never took on and that now maybe you lost, crashed what was left, and ended up nowhere. Only the back of your growing driving ability was ok. And both sides of you thought how your - perhaps more controlled mom side of you - would react. CONCLUSIONS It seems you went off course after seeing the super ability you could have to conquer your fears, which maybe were the common ones that come with learning to be yourself and growing up in the real world. Maybe being alone in the world, wanting others to help you. Or perhaps seeing that ability was enough to make your fears non-existent. But on the way home in you there was a goal you overshot, perhaps because of overconfidence as a result, or you simply forgot about your task! Does any of this fit?

I agree with a lot of what you said, but I got kind of confused with the axe interpretation. "How you can recall this dream in such detail amazes me." I really laughed after I read that. Not all my dreams are that detailed, they only occur once in a while. There are some that I still remember today from when I was younger in great
