To a holy shrine visit with my family in Japan, the shrine is located on top of multiple grey stairs, surrounded by dense bamboo forests. after reaching the top, i suddenly fall deaf to my family's voices and am tempted to climb to the top most temple, the golden temple. Thing is there are 3 ways to 3 temples. Gold being one of them. after reaching the golden temple with my family, I meet a priest whose words I do not understand, but he probably warned me from prodding further, yet I went further into an adjacent garden full of exotic flowers, almost paradise and almost touch the red exotic flower and then suddenly I am sent back onto an unknown path, without my family with no one. I could only hear voices of my family and I could not remember if I could find them.
This dream is a complex and symbolic reflection of your inner world and current life circumstances. Visiting a holy shrine with your family in Japan may symbolize a spiritual journey or quest for guidance and enlightenment.
The multiple grey stairs leading to the shrine surrounded by dense bamboo forests suggest a path towards self-discovery and growth, but the color grey may indicate feelings of uncertainty or ambiguity in your waking life.
Becoming deaf to your family's voices after reaching the top may signify a feeling of emotional distance or disconnect from your family or a sense of inner solitude as you embark on your personal journey of self-discovery.
The temptation to climb to the topmost golden temple, with three ways representing choices or paths in life, may indicate a desire for success, achievement, or higher knowledge. The gold temple could symbolize a higher state of consciousness or spiritual attainment.
Meeting a priest whose words you do not understand but who may have warned you from going further suggests a subconscious awareness of potential dangers or challenges ahead that you may not fully comprehend. Your decision to explore the adjacent garden full of exotic flowers, almost paradise, and almost touching the red exotic flower may symbolize a longing for beauty, pleasure, or exploration of new possibilities in life.
Being sent back onto an unknown path without your family, only hearing their voices and feeling unsure if you can find them, may represent feelings of isolation, uncertainty, or a sense of being lost or disconnected from loved ones in your waking life.
Overall, this dream could be reflecting your inner conflicts, desires for growth and change, and a search for meaning and connection in your life. It may be a sign to reflect on your relationships, choices, and inner aspirations to navigate through challenges and uncertainties towards a path of self-discovery and fulfillment.
