I dreamed that a mysterious small black hole appeared in a land somewhat close to Quito Ecuador. The world said to stay away until it could be determined if it was safe or not but generally the world had a negative impression that it was dangerous and that people have disappeared from it. I felt that this might be one of the last chances I had to visit Quito before maybe it got taken from the black hole. My wife Catherine and I flew to Quito to experience the city while we still could. When we arrived at Quito we discovered that there was a religious community there that believed it was sign from God and a holy thing and that you should go to the "black hole". Of course, many thought these people to be crazy, I certainly did. I saw some of the followers heading towards the black hole, which now seemed to approach the city of Quito. When my wife Catherine and I saw it, we discovered it was not a "black hole" like people thought. But instead I saw different staircases heading to what appeared to be different heavens. I also saw a blackish light that maybe appeared to not lead to a good place. Before I could decide on next actions I saw that my wife Catherine had already jumped on one of the staircases and was being lifted upward. I hesitated, wondering if that was the right direction to go or not. But because of my hesitation, the staircase my wife was on no longer allowed me to enter, the first steps of the staircase disappeared. I feared this might be the last time I see my wife, and I wondered if the other staircases might allow me to go to where she is going, but I feared that was not the case. In my last moment seeing my wife I said I was sorry, she looked at me and understood and we both said we loved each other. It was too far to hear each other at this point, but we understood what we said with the motion of our mouths to say "I love you, I'm sorry". I then woke up.
This dream appears to reflect a complex mix of fears and desires related to your relationship and the uncertainties of life. The appearance of the black hole symbolizes a perceived threat or danger in your waking life, potentially representing a situation or decision that could lead to the loss of something important to you, such as your connection to Quito or your relationship with your wife Catherine. The negative impression that the black hole holds for the world suggests a shared fear or caution towards this potential loss.
The religious community in Quito represents the contrasting perspectives and beliefs surrounding this situation. The fact that they see the black hole as a holy thing implies a search for meaning or purpose in the face of uncertainty. This division between those who view the situation as dangerous and those who see it as a divine sign mirrors the conflicting emotions and thoughts you may have about the potential consequences of your choices.
The staircases leading to different heavens symbolize the various possibilities or paths that you perceive as available to you. Each staircase represents a potential future or outcome, some of which may be positive and others may appear uncertain or even negative. Your hesitation signifies your struggle to make a decision and your fear of choosing the wrong path.
The moment when your wife Catherine jumps on one of the staircases and is lifted upward represents her taking a different path or making a different choice than you. This may reflect your fear of growing apart or of not being able to follow the same path in life. The disappearance of the first steps of the staircase represents the irreversible nature of choices and the potential for losing the opportunity to be reunited with her.
Your apology and expressions of love to your wife before parting symbolize your remorse for any past mistakes or regrets, as well as the deep connection and love you share with her. Although you wake up before seeing the outcome, this dream suggests a fear of losing the relationship and the importance of open communication and expressing love and understanding in your waking life.
Overall, this dream highlights your fears, desires, and uncertainties in relation to potential loss and the choices that may impact your relationship. It may be helpful to reflect upon these emotions and discuss them with your wife to foster understanding and strengthen your bond.
