What was the meaning of this dream?

Where have you been? The marquee says, “kanic and burpo–The bird and The mutt.” I can’t do the show alone. :smiley:

To see or dream that you are in a mausoleum represents calmness. You are finally at peace about something.

Marshmallows
To see or eat marshmallows in your dream represent timidity and lack of self-confidence. You need to learn to be more assertive and stand up for yourself.
To dream that you are roasting marshmallows indicate growth and motivation.

Tsunami
To see a tsunami in your dream means that you are being overwhelmed by some repressed feeling or subconscious material that is rising up to the surface. You are experiencing some unhappiness and emotional instability in a waking situation.
That site would be more appealing if they got rid of the creepy psychic that wants to chat with me.

I read about gestalt therapy and using it to interpret dreams. It made a lot of sense.

Basically, everything in your dream is an extension of you. You’re the reason why that person, place or thing is in your dream. The best way to figure out the why is to ask yourself.

Do a little role playing. Pretend you’re the curator. Ask yourself:

[li]I’m welcoming Anise into my home and giving her a tour. Why would I do this? Do I want to impress her? Do I think there’s something she needs to know?[/li][li]I didn’t show Anise the whole mausoleum, just the front parts. Why did I do that? I gave her the key for her to explore the rest. Why was that? Is there something I didn’t want to tell her, that she should find out on her own? [/li][li]Now I’m showing her a wardrobe filled with Victorian dresses. What do they represent to me, and why am I showing them to her?[/li][/ul]

You could even role-play the mausoleum. What is my purpose? Why am I here? How was I created? What do I contain?

Nothing. It means nothing.

Dreams are just your mind dealing with the things it has thought about in the recent day/week.

They mean nothing other than what you’re feeling that day or in the recent past. You probably watched tv or heard on the news that someone died, therfore your brain is dealing with death and created the mausoleum because it thought to itself “hey that has to do with death so, sure, why not.”

Exactly. Dreams are your brains sorting out the day’s events, putting everything in the right place. Somewhere during the day you heard something about death.

If you can remember everything about your day and your dreams, this is the simple truth.

Not quite. I think the explanation with the mind sorting out recently acquired information fails to make a plausible cause for recurring dreams the kind of which the OP mentions.

If you think there is a meaning in the dream you have described, you should regard your oneiric experience as a symbol or a sequence of symbols whose significance can be deciphered within the general context consisting of your consciousness, subconsciousness and unconsciousness with their values, beliefs, patterns and subjective maps of reality.

It is worth trying to decode this kind of dreams, although I wouldn’t worry if I were you and failed to find a meaning. Extracting a meaning from this experience would only allow you to know thyself better, which should always be high on one’s list of priorities, in my opinion.

On the other hand, if you lack introspective capabilities and there is no astute psychologist who knows you as well as you do, I think you’d better forget the matter and focus on reality. I for one dream every night but typically and voluntarily expel any trace of oneiric experience out of my consciousness as soon as I wake up.

It is also related to age, but I think I’ve spoken too much already. :slight_smile:

Role-play in a mausoleum? Won’t the dead bodies kill the mood?
