Scary dream

[LPfan89]

Every once in awhile I will have this really scary dream and im not sure why. Here it is: I start out looking at this old house that looks like a southern plantation house, only really run down. I then feal myself walking towards the front door even thought i dont want to. I go in and there is a one stairway to my left and one to my right and the both curve up to a second floor. The stairs are lined with hooded figures. My heart is pounding and im still being moved forward. I go threw a door and in this small little room there is nothing but two doors. For some reason i always pick the door on the right, NEVER the left. Once i go threw the door all of the hooded figures scream behind me and i fly right back outside looking at the front of the house again. At this point i realize im dreaming but no matter how hard i try to wake up i cant- i just get forced back threw that house again. On the third and final time a guy with no eyes looks at me and says "What are you doing here" ...I wake up then so scared i dont go back to sleep for the rest of the night.

Yep, that's a dream. My guess as to its meaning is ROMANCE. The old victorian house that's in disrepair is your old notion of how romance should be, such as that love is forever. The double stairway merging at the top is two people coming together, or the path laid out for them to do so. Your always choosing the door on the right may indicate your thinking with the right brain where the creativity and imagination are, not the rational logical thinking in the left. This never works out and you end up with the relationship ended.

I disagree. A Southern plantation house is not a Victorian house. The eras overlap, but they are two different types of architecture and have very distinct possible connotations. Hooded figures might suggest Klan or something equally evil or something, someone, or a group that evokes in you a feeling of evil. Or if not evil, then certainly fear--perhaps of the unknown. The hood, secretive, hiding something. Executioners also used to wear hoods--possible sadism. You don't desecribe the hoods. Hood? Maybe a wordplay on "neighborhood." Or the hood, could just mean something hidden from you. Clandestine or occult (which literally means hidden, secret, mysterious) and your fear of it. Perhaps, your fear of lucid dreaming. This sounds like a haunted house. Is this house haunted by us here? You know, it is possibly. We are all more or less hooded in this venue. Is this a fear of entering your own mind and the dream symbols and knowledge that you might encounter/obtain there? Why do you go in when you don't want to? What is compelling you to repeatedly do this? You are not in control of your actions in this dream. What in your life are you letting get out of control? Fear? You are partially lucid. You realize you are dreaming at some point. I can't remember if you said you were a Lucid beginner--this sounds like one of those dreams. Right and left? Left from Latin literally means "sinister." Right and left brain. Dreams, to me, are lovely gifts that turn words and figures of speech into pictures like wonderful, fabulously imaginative artists! I would trust my right brain over my left any day of the week and hour of the day. This is a really cool dream. Hope I helped a little on your way to figuring it out. I'd love to know what sense you make of it.
