There were a bunch of animals and cars and stuff screwed down in our front yard, I think my grandma was watching me and my brother so she ended up taking us to the store and buying me shoes (a nice pair of boots). When I got home I noticed this little black dog was basically free so I helped him out (and named him clifford) and let him into our house (which was essentially my and grandma’s house merged) and I began putting on the fancy boots to go outside when the person who had trapped the things in our front yard showed up wearing all black and the same boots (we were wearing similar outfits except my hair was covered and his wasn’t). Somehow I figured out his name was McKinley when I left my house. McKinley made some comment about me having the same patent leather boots as him a couple times and I fought him, when I kicked him he started kicking like he was line dancing and cartwheeling and such but eventually I got him and pinned him down and somehow we got talking about who we were? McKinley said he was in his early twenties and had blue eyes (he also had black hair but that was visible) and I told him I had green eyes. I let him go eventually and he kind of vanished while I finished unclamping the car from my yard as it was the last thing. When I went into the house I talked a bit about McKinley with my family and while I was putting my boots away in the closet I found a bunch of sketches labeled McKinley that looked as if they were made by a young kid. I didn’t really get to look at them before I woke up though
This dream may symbolize several aspects of your life and emotions. The appearance of animals and cars screwed down in your front yard suggests feelings of restraint or obstacles in your life. Your grandma represents guidance and support during challenging times, as she takes you and your brother to the store and buys you new shoes. The boots could symbolize stepping into a new phase or taking control of your life.
The little black dog, named Clifford, represents loyalty and companionship. By freeing the dog and allowing it into your house, you are embracing these qualities in your life.
The arrival of McKinley, wearing all black and similar boots, represents a confrontation with an aspect of yourself or someone who is similar to you. His comment about having the same boots may symbolize a sense of competition or mirroring in some area of your life. The fight between you and McKinley could suggest a struggle with this aspect or a desire to assert yourself.
The conversation about your identities and the discovery of sketches labeled McKinley in the closet may highlight a need for self-reflection and understanding. The sketches made by a young kid could symbolize exploring aspects of your inner child or reconnecting with your youthful creativity.
Overall, this dream may suggest a journey towards self-discovery, the need to confront internal conflicts, and the importance of embracing loyalty and companionship in your life. It encourages you to explore your own identity and tap into your creative side.
