Thread: Most cryptic dream I have ever had

I'm laying in the snow, the snow comes just a little bit above my hood. It is snowing lightly and I feel warm and completely calm. I see some tree branches above me.
(People lie down when they are relaxing fully, of sleeping when their work is done. Snow has a purity about it. The warmth & calm are very positive)

(About 6 years ago, I visited my aunt who lived in rural Ontario during winter. I remember VERY vividly laying in the snow in her backyard. She kept on me every 4 minutes for about an hour before she called me in. While I was laying there, I was completely warm and calm. Almost as if I could just fall asleep.)
Note the other references later to falling asleep. These kind of moments provide the opportunity to reflect on things & life. Falling asleep can symbolise death.

My dream guide, Aurora was levitating just above my feet {Our feet can symbolise our walk/life} and in a soft voice said "May you find truth in the script you have prepared"
{The script I am thinking of here is the one given to actors for them to act out a movie, TV show or play. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenplay: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenplay: In them, the movement, actions, expression, and dialogues of the characters are also narrated. We all have desires for our lives & things we would like to do. This "script" could symbolise that. Movies also have a director who gives instructions to the actors on how they should interpret the script based on his vision for the movie. TV show, etc. }

just as quick as she appeared, she disappeared. I then looked up as I was falling into a small pit (grave){What happens after you have fully acted out your script.} and sitting to my feet {perhaps below you in this instance} was the person who represented corruption. To my left was the 2 people representing fear and doubt {There's a relationship between these 2 in that doubt progresses to fear} and to my right was the person representing apathy {Lack of motivation. "Apathy was represented by a younger version of my self." - do you think you have grown out of this?}

I was completely frozen and couldn't speak or move {As though life had left you.} (not that I wanted to) corruption spoke first. "This is a shame, I surely thought you would out live us. Well, nothing we can do about it now." {Corruption is the breaking down of things so I guess this makes sense. The implication of course is that your body is dead.} Apathy is well, apathetic. He is playing with a rubix cube but can't quite get it {Interesting, I normally associate apathy with not doing anything. In this case though it seems unproductive, for amuzement. But he is still not achieving goals. }. Instead of colors on it, there are letters. {Colours suggest a range of meaning, whereas letters are more definite, specific. Used to make words. He can't put words together, perhaps suggesting a lack of ability to communicate or understand things.} He is constantly flipping the pieces. Fear looks at him and tells him "That isn't how you are supposed to complete it." {Not encouraging, but maybe correct.} Apathy tries to move the cube and it breaks. The pieces float above my head {Letter floating above your head. Perhaps the "script" falling apart, due to a lack of motivation. Fear perhaps helps keep you trapped in apathy.} and the background is black {Emptiness, no understanding, life or script}. The pieces glow and spell "Was it worth it?" {Worth is about value. Worth it to who? Would you be able to see at the end of your life, if it continues as it is, that you added value to people- your family, friends, work colleagues. } just then I am in a void {Emptiness} and corruption is standing before me. She is holding my scythe {Had to look this up, previously used for moving grass by hand or reaping crops. Also what the grim reaper often holds.}

I feel helpless as I can't move {The only thing you can do is receive.}. She sais "That is one of the wonders of life, what would it be like to fall asleep and never wake up again?" {Death} Just then, she swings the scythe into my chest. {A lot of people believe there is either reward or punishment after death. What are your thoughts?} The pain is one of the most real things I have ever felt. Just at that, I twist my wrist {Joins arm to hand. Hands/arms can symbolise ability.} and the scythe disappears and reappears in my hand (I never asked my wrist to move, all of this is involuntary {INteresting, this is something of yourself (perhaps life) that you are not controling) I then say "That raises another question. What was it like to wake up without previously living?" {Perhaps overcoming fear & apathy to write a different script for yourself.} and paralysis that, I plunge the scythe into her chest.

FIVE

5’s appearing in dreams suggests activity, impulsiveness, energy, changes, a free soul, self-emancipation, resourcefulness and curiosity.

Number 5 tells of adventure, life changes, freedom, spontaneity and action. Seeing 5’s in a dream may be suggesting changes coming up in your life or life path that may alter your course.

Dreaming of the number 5 may be a premonition of important discoveries, adventures and actions to be taken in waking life.

5’s appearing in a dream may be suggesting that you are learning your life lessons through your experiences.

Number 5 appearing in a dream may be suggesting that you become more in-tuned with your five senses. 5’s appearing in a dream can tell of the need to pursue your personal truths and freedom. It may be expressing an internal desire to ‘break free’.

5’s appearing in your dreams may be implying that it is time to break free from the old constraints and restraints that have been holding you back, and begin to live your life with passion and purpose.

5, or a series of 5’s, appearing in your dreams may suggest personal freedom and major life changes. It implies that the changes ahead of you will bring about auspicious opportunities and feelings of personal satisfaction. Positive changes are heading your way.

Number 5 appearing in your dreams implies the need for change, variety and new growth, and signifies better things coming into your life. These changes may come about with unexpected haste and in unusual ways, but will bring with them positive energies and opportunities that will propel you in the right direction along your life path.

5’s presenting in your dreams, depending upon the dream, may be suggesting a lack of focus and a materialistic outlook.

Appearing in a dream (depending upon the context or story of the dream), the number 5 may be pointing out over-indulgence, hedonism, addictive and/or compulsive behaviours that need to be addressed.

seconds, I twist my wrist and she evaporates with my scythe. I then always wake to a state of sleep paralysis.

I think the key message of the dream from my perspective is for you to overcome fear & apathy & "wake up" to life. Find passions within yourself that motivate you & add value to peoples' lives to make your life "worth it".

The impression I get from your dream is that corruption is like your enemy, so you know you have to oppose her. But doubt, apathy & fear are like your companions. So I would be more concerned about doubt, apathy & fear than about corruption.

It might be time to say "Goodbye" to doubt, fear & apathy in your dreams, & look for some more positive companions like love, justice, mercy.

Thank you @Firewater
That was very helpful. My whole life, I have been looking for something to do as a pastime. Because of that, I am known as someone who is open to life. This desire to break free of boredom has lead me to try everything I can in life (with the exception of drugs and alcohol) I have done everything from sky diving to deep sea diving. Going on week long fishing trips and rainforest hiking. At one point, I visited a South African Zulu tribe and had a ceremonial club and shield fight. Just last year, I was running from 5 angry gang members. I ended up jumping from roof to roof when they chased me into my neighborhood. (hid behind a large recycle bin and climbed up a fence when they found me. It is a fun story to tell.) I have recently run out of things to do. The thing I fear most is a boring life. I am only 15 and I'm running out of things to do. I guess I'll look for something else to do now.

*edit* The scythe in my dreams is the tool I use for dream control. It is more a tool I use for creation rather than destruction.
