Tidal Waves and Unspoken Feelings
I’m talking to made up people (presumably friends of some kind) on a long wooden pier/bridge above the ocean (one side faces the open waters, the other a very tall unscalable cliff). After being barraged by bad weather and waves/very high water, they inform me that the storms have all ended. I start to exclaim in surprise and happiness when they follow up with “We just have one more of those” and point to a floating cloud iridescence/rainbow cylinder floating right above the ocean water. My heart sinks at the sight of the pretty anomaly because I remember from past experiences that it causes tidal waves and violent waters. The water around the pastel rainbow cylinder begins to churn violently and everyone scatters for safety. I begin to run towards the mainland to my right on the wooden path, but notice that the cloud is moving in the same direction, taking its destruction with it. Not wanting to run in the same direction as the storm, I change directions and run to my left down the path instead, towards the small island. I notice that the cloud seems to change course and follow me, but slower. I don’t have time to change directions again because it’s still been getting closer so I continue to the island. There are other people (strangers) on the island and we all gather towards the center of the island as the waters rise more and more and the waves get bigger and bigger. As the waters get too high, we find life jackets and begin to put them on as we anticipate the island to be completely submerged. As we’re doing this, we find that a decent-sized wooden boat is tethered to the island. I worry that the captain will cut his rope that tethers the boat to the island, but when the older asian man that captains the boat sees the rope and the boat rocking against the island, he and the people on his ship instead offer to help us onto his boat. There’s a wooden fence with long planks in the way so we have to squeeze between the boards to get onto the boat. A young man on the boat is trying to spread open planks by hand to allow me to pass through, when I notice two large commercial airplanes both taking off and diving sideways (wing-side) into the ocean because they didn’t have enough runway (it’s underwater) to take off properly. One of the planes dove in our direction and its body crashes into the boat, smashing it to pieces. I reach my hand out and grab the asian captain’s hand trying to save him (from the water that’s sucking everything down with the sinking airplane) because he was kind enough to try and save us. I also think that having a kind captain like him to lead would be beneficial for us. Ariel puts a boot on Prince Eric’s head (to signify he should be captain for the way he tries to help people) and shows him around the wreckage underwater to prove her point. She continues to gesture underwater to him but he starts to need air. She pulls him around underwater, oblivious to him needing air. Eventually she realizes that he’s trying to resurface for air and lets him. As he approaches the surface, he sees the capsized wooden boat above with grayish bodies floating. He thinks people may be swimming but realizes as he gets closers that people are placing their dead loved ones into the water as they say goodbye, particularly a lot of children that died in the storm. Shanna and I are roommates in college. We share a bed, our pillows on either side of it. Shanna is decorating our space, particularly making the bed. I wander off to unpack other items in our space, finding an empty bathroom closet to organize makeup and towels in. After organizing, I realize the closet is too far away from our bedroom (the rooms have regular walls but are all divided by big colorful curtains in the entrances instead of doors. I realize I was organizing in someone else’s space and Shanna helps me take everything out and down. We go back to our space and I try to tell Shanna that it’s not true that I don’t have romantic feelings for them, but people pass in front of me so I get cut off. Back in our room, I see our bed and I mention how we’ll be sharing a bed again after all. I feel excited thinking about being with them 5 days out of the week (school days). I start to tell them that I do have feelings for them and am excited to share a space with them, before I wake up.
Your dream paints a vivid picture filled with symbolic elements and emotional nuances. Here's a detailed interpretation:
-
The Pier/Bridge Above the Ocean:
- Symbolism: Piers or bridges often symbolize transition or passage in dreams. Being above the ocean denotes a connection to deep, emotional waters of the subconscious, reflecting your journey through your emotions and experiences.
- Interpretation: Being with made-up friends on a bridge could represent a phase of transition in your life where you're moving from one emotional state to another or navigating through uncertainties with support.
-
The Storm and Rainbow Cylinder:
- Symbolism: Storms often signify turmoil, emotional upheaval, or stress. The rainbow, despite its beauty, being a source of danger might suggest that a seemingly positive or hopeful aspect of your life comes with hidden challenges.
- Interpretation: The dream hints at ongoing challenges (emotional or life-related) that have persisted but might soon be followed by periods of relief (ending storms), yet with another looming task or challenge presented by the iridescent cloud.
-
The Island and Attempted Escape:
- Symbolism: Islands can represent isolation, yet also safety and refuge. Running away from the storm towards the island suggests a desire to seek safety or respite from ongoing challenges.
- Interpretation: This portion of the dream may reflect feelings of being pursued by challenges, leading to a collective struggle (on the island), underscoring your resourcefulness and leadership in dire situations.
-
The Boat and Airplane Crash:
- Symbolism: Boats often indicate journeys or transitions and airplanes crashing can represent failed attempts to rise above problems.
- Interpretation: The kind captain’s offer of help, coupled with the airplane crash, could symbolize missed opportunities or failed plans due to external forces, highlighting the unpredictability of circumstances. Trying to save the captain may reflect your values and desire to help others, or it might emphasize the importance of having guidance during tumultuous times.
-
Ariel, Prince Eric, and Underwater Scene:
- Symbolism: Characters like Ariel and Prince Eric might symbolize exploring one's hopes or dreams (fantastical elements) or issues of being misunderstood (Ariel not realizing Eric's need for air).
- Interpretation: This underwater scenario portrays themes of realization and miscommunication. It emphasizes your hope for guidance and support, yet acknowledging the harsh realities (the loss represented by the floating bodies and the necessity for breath).
-
College Roommate Scenario:
- Symbolism: College, sharing spaces, and decorating often relate to personal growth, change, and developing deeper personal relationships.
- Interpretation: The interaction with Shanna and the changing shared space could represent burgeoning feelings or shifts in relationships. Working together on creating a bedroom space and your excitement towards shared life indicate burgeoning closeness and evolving feelings for Shanna, possibly highlighting desires to solidify a platonic or romantic relationship.
-
Underlying Themes:
- Emotions and Change: The dream communicates an undercurrent of processing deep emotion, evolving relationships, and navigating life’s unpredictabilities.
- Hope and Uncertainty: While there are obstacles and fears, there's also a display of resilience, hope, and pursuit for better times (storms ending, sharing life with Shanna).
In sum, your dream seems to portray a complex journey through challenges, relationships, and self-realization, with themes of persistence, adaptation, and emotional clarity standing out prominently.
