I was living in a metal public building I had attracted 3 snakes but thought I only had one. I had one red couch and a small Inflatable pool with clear clean water. The snake bit my daughter? Grandson? That's when I discovered there were 3. I also then found 3 chipmunk. While trying to catch the snakes that were now biting. After I had rid the snakes I was needing medical attention for the children. That drew news crews. After the commotion. I was asked to leave the area as squatting was prohibited. I tried to hide from them only to get trapped behind 2 doors as 2 doe and 1 buck ran rampant inside. Once they were clear I began collecting my things to go. A contractor was there adding doors to the building, using a pile drive. I noticed that the building pieces were separating and tried to warn him to stop but I was to late. The building began to fall. My child was deeper in the building than I, I began to run into the falling building and at the last moment turned around to seek a safe spot. Thinking I can get her after the building is done falling. Somehow.
Dreams can often serve as a reflection of our subconscious thoughts, fears, and desires. Your dream appears to be rich in symbolism and can be analyzed in several ways. Here’s a potential interpretation of the elements you've shared:
Metal Public Building: The metal structure may symbolize a feeling of confinement or the rigidity of your current situation in life. Public buildings often relate to societal norms, expectations, or community, reflecting a desire for connection or a struggle with communal responsibilities.
Snakes: Snakes often embody transformation, fear, or hidden threats. Attracting three snakes that later bite your child suggests there may be underlying anxieties about threats to your family or loved ones. The initial belief that there was only one snake could represent denial or underestimating a problem that has larger implications.
Children: The presence of your daughter or grandson signifies your protective instincts and the weight of responsibility you feel toward your loved ones. The fact that they are harmed in the dream may indicate fears regarding their well-being or feeling as though you are not adequately safeguarding them.
Inflatable Pool with Clear Water: Water often symbolizes emotions and the subconscious. The inflatable nature of the pool may suggest the transient or unstable nature of your emotional state or a feeling of inadequacy in providing a stable environment for your family.
Chipmunks: These small animals could represent playfulness or the need for light-heartedness amidst chaos. Their appearance may indicate a desire to reclaim innocence or joy in your life.
Squatting Prohibited: Being asked to leave due to squatting rules may reflect feelings of unworthiness or a need for permission in some area of your life. It can also symbolize a fear of being ousted or feeling disconnected from where you belong.
Trapped Behind Doors: Doors often symbolize choices or transitions. Being trapped behind doors suggests feelings of being stuck or unable to move freely through life’s options, coupled with a sense of external chaos represented by the deer running rampant.
Building Falling: This represents instability or fear of collapse in your life. It underscores the urgency and emotional turmoil you feel regarding the safety and well-being of your loved ones, highlighting a potential crisis.
Warning the Contractor: This part of the dream reflects your instinct to protect and your desire to intervene when you see potential danger. Not being able to warn him may symbolize feelings of helplessness regarding a situation in your life that you feel is beyond your control.
Running into the Building: This depicts your courage and commitment to seek out your loved ones even in the face of danger. The last moment decision to find a safe space reflects your instincts to prioritize safety and perhaps protectiveness over recklessness.
Overall, your dream emphasizes deep-seated fears around protection, family dynamics, feelings of instability, and the urgency to confront problems that seem to multiply. It also suggests a conflict between your desire to maintain safety and security for your loved ones while grappling with feelings of being overwhelmed or trapped by circumstances you cannot control. Reflecting on these feelings in your waking life could help illuminate areas where you might need support or change.
