well, a little about my dreams... most of my dreams are very fantastic and imaginative worlds, and a lot are gloomy (like the one i'm about to post). this dream was extremely vivid, though i can't fully remember everything, but i got most of it written down. many of my dreams are cryptic and have a lot of symbols and secret meanings to them, i don't know whether this dream is one of those symbolic dreams like some of the ones i had in the past or just my imagination going wild as usual. anyway, here's my dream and any interpretion of it will be greatly appreciated.

Dream 9 (April 18, 2007)

After many weeks of meaningless dreams and the inability to recall any dream lately, I get this one. It was perhaps the darkest dream I have ever had in my life. It began with me in a strange city with no buildings, flat ground for miles, and was only one color: grey.

I was in a hospital and a mother was giving birth, but the child was no normal human child--it was a demon. It was crying nonstop and was frighten because no one wanted it, it was an abomination to them, even to the mother. I held it and comforted it and placed it in a baby carriage, and I appeared inside a Chinese styled building. The demon was now five or six years of age, and it was living in a basement. The basement was an exhibit to view this demon and it was weeping and frighten once again. When it saw me, it remembered me, and it smiled and became joyful. The people there looked at me with horror and disgust because they noticed that I cared for the little demon child, and they wanted to kill me. I began to run, and as I was running, the demon had fully grown and escaped his prison. He began to kill everyone and took their souls as well, I watched him do it, I watched all the people around me suffer and I loved it. The demon looked at me and said nothing, he just walked past me and knew that I was his master. I decided to leave the building and when I got to the front door, it was packed with people trying to escape. They asked me why I was allowing this demon to do this to them, and I told them "Because you laughed at it," and I grinned back at them, and walked off. I could hear them screaming as I was walking away, and soon after I appeared in my English class.

My teacher was discussing last week's assignment we did with music lyrics, and she handed us a paper with parts of the songs we used. She said she had picked her favorite sections of the songs and placed them there for everyone to read, and most of my song had appeared on there. The song I used was Absurd Minds - A Man Received the Answer, and the parts she had put from it were these three:

who created all the souls and grants us our lives so many times ?
when will be brought the knowledge to this plane ?
your soul is a part of the Great Soul

There was also some unidentifiable ones in there too, languages I had never seen in my life and I don't remember what they were because as soon as I woke up, I forgot most of this part in my English. There was another part in my dream that happened before I appeared in my English class, but I can't remember, I know that I was with my brother and my dog... but that is all I can recall from that scene.

The most significant part in my dream was when I was in some sort of house that was in the middle of the ocean. The house was a two story house, and the second floor had no walls except for the front wall, and the staircase was outside, on the right side of the house. Everything was peaceful and beautiful, and you could see the sunset in the horizon. There was also birds that were flying in the sky, and I was on the second floor of that strange house and I had grapes; I shot these grapes in the water with my mouth lol... and in front of the house was a fountain. I saw a dead person wearing a robe and a gold crown floating in the water of this fountain, his features were difficult to describe; he was grotesque, but at the same time beautiful. His face was decayed to where he had no eyes, and the hair on his head was very long, silvery-white, and silky in texture; his skin was a pale-ish grey and was pealing off his body, and one of his arms had almost no flesh left. I placed some grapes near this mysterious corpse and said "I love you and will never forget you, you did not die in vain." After I said this, the undead person came to life and looked at me, lifted up his arms at me, and called to me. I tried to reach him, but for some reason I couldn’t get to him. Next, he tried to speak to me but no words came out of his mouth; he tried to write something on a paper with a pen, but there was no ink. On his final attempt, he took the pen and began to write letters in the air slowly. I could only catch the first part, "I love you too, don't..." and for some reason I couldn't understand the final part of his message. He dropped the pen, stared at me for 5 - 10 seconds with a look of sadness and longing, and then walked back to his watery grave and moved no more. Now that he was dead again, I could get to the fountain, and I jumped down from the second floor of the house and ran straight to the corpse and wept. I don't know who or what he was, but I felt as though I knew him all my life. I placed more grapes in the water and looked at the horizon once more and awoke...

the way i felt around that undead man in my dream is difficult to describe to you, i had a mix of emotions. i felt confused, sad, and love all at once, and it was as though him and me are separated. one person told me that man is the side of me that i keep locked away/want to discover... so what do you think he means?
