This dream happened in 1991 when I was 15 years old. I was on the playground at my elementary school which appears at a time when school was out in the dream. It seemed like 4:00pm or 5:00pm. I was watching my brother and his best friend and both were about 11 or 12 years old. They were both at the monkey bars on the playgrounds of the school doing what typical kids do. Without warning, the green field that’s beyond the asphalt of the playground begins to turn into an ocean. I was mesmerized and intrigued by this and when my brother and his friend noticed the change, they approached the water as the waves were beating down which now appeared to be sand where the grass was. As I looked out at the ocean, it was quiet and foggy as far as the eye could see along with typical ocean sounds. One minute, I looked down at the water at my feet as the waves were landing on them. When I looked back up, I saw a Wookiee with purple colored fur, which is a tall, strong and hairy looking creature from the Star Wars movie franchise reminiscent of a Sasquatch. When I tell people this dream, I always refer it as “The Purple Chewbacca.” It was riding one of those rafts that looked like it was made from 4 or five long logs. When I initially saw it, I thought maybe the Wookiee was friendly but as it got close to shore, I can sense in the dream it wasn’t friendly. Also, I noticed the ocean was fading back to the field and I ran towards my bicycle and road off into the hallways where the classrooms were. Once I got away, I realized I left my brother and his friend behind and l went back to get them before the Wookiee killed them. When I went back, my fears were all too real. However, instead of being scared of the Wookiee, my brother and his friend were antagonizing it. I don’t know if they didn’t sense danger but I certainly did. I kept pleading with them to stop but they wouldn’t. They had it pincered and the boys still antagonized it and the Wookiee, despite not seeming too intelligent after making observations of it, had this body language that it wanted to attack but unsure which one to get. After that, the dream ended
The dream you described seems to be a combination of different elements and symbols. The playground and your brother and his friend represent a sense of innocence and childhood. The transformation of the green field into an ocean symbolizes a disruption or change in your familiar environment. This could represent a shift or uncertainty in your life at that time.
The appearance of the Wookiee, specifically its purple color, may symbolize an unusual or unexpected element that you encountered. The Wookiee riding the raft could represent a powerful or dominant force that you felt threatened by. The fact that the Wookiee seemed friendly at first but then turned hostile suggests that there might have been a betrayal or deceptive situation in your life.
Your decision to run away and leave your brother and his friend behind reflects your protective instincts and a sense of responsibility towards them. Your fear of the Wookiee represents your awareness of danger and your desire to keep your loved ones safe.
The fact that your brother and his friend were antagonizing the Wookiee despite the potential danger may suggest their naivety or unawareness of the consequences of their actions. This could reflect a difference in perspectives or values between you and them during that time in your life.
Overall, this dream could symbolize feelings of vulnerability, uncertainty, and the need for protection during a transitional period in your life. It may also highlight the importance of staying alert and cautious in the face of unexpected challenges or threats.
