I found myself walking up a stone spiral stairway inside of a tall tower. When I reached the top, it opened up into a big circular room. In the center of the floor was the shape of a red circular ring . Across the room in front of me were a set of open checker glass framed patio doors with red see through silk curtains blowing in the breeze slightly. There was a female standing in the doorway with her back to me as I was standing across the room still. Then, she turned towards me. The female was me! So there I am, in the top of this tower standing across the room looking at this other me. I couldn't help but feel such an overwhelming sadness, emptiness, defeat from the expression on my other face. Then, she went to turn away from me. As she did, she then went to fall out of those patio doors and I went to reach my hand out for her (my other self), our bodies suddenly connected as one. Then I'm just falling falling falling until I'm about to hit the water, then I wake up. (I had this dream when I was 15 years old, which was almost 20 years ago now, and there hasn't been one day I haven't thought about it or what it means.)
In your dream, the stone spiral stairway represents the journey or path you are taking in your life. The tall tower symbolizes the heights you are trying to reach or the goals you are striving for. Climbing to the top signifies progress and achievement.
The big circular room represents a moment of clarity or realization. The red circular ring in the center of the floor suggests a sense of continuity or completion.
The open patio doors with red silk curtains blowing in the breeze represent opportunities or possibilities that are available to you. The female standing in the doorway, who turns out to be yourself, represents a reflection of your own emotions and inner self.
The overwhelming sadness, emptiness, and defeat you feel when looking at your other self suggest a deep sense of dissatisfaction or unhappiness within you. This may indicate that you are struggling with your own identity, desires, or emotions.
Reaching out for your other self as she goes to fall out of the patio doors symbolizes a desire to rescue or save a part of yourself. The fusion of your bodies represents a sense of unity or integration within yourself.
The falling sensation represents a loss of control or a fear of failure. It may indicate a fear of the unknown or a fear of losing yourself in the process. The water symbolizes emotions and the unconscious mind. Almost hitting the water suggests a close encounter with your true feelings or a potential emotional breakthrough.
Overall, this dream may reflect your inner turmoil, feelings of sadness, and the longing for a sense of unity or fulfillment in your life. It could be a manifestation of your subconscious desires and unresolved emotions from the past. Reflecting on this dream and exploring these emotions further may help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and find ways to address any lingering issues.
