Where it was dreamed

I am a storyteller I set up circles in a kingdom It shakes something up A rock gives way in the cove, and the sea floods a fairly large bay The prince tells me it’s a good thing It feels warm But when I go there, the tsunami has caused damage, and a friend and I are caught in the very tall wave. There are several houses that survive. Afterwards, I’m with others in its submerged buildings, including a restaurant A survivor I didn’t like—an old man—finds some large cutlery and tells me he’d quite like to eat me I’m fiercer than him, and I manage to intimidate him We make it to dry land, and I think we’re welcomed No sense of catastrophe—or perhaps a happy event mixed with something serious, and maybe hidden or underestimated
This dream seems to depict a transformation you help bring about, followed by the discovery that its effects are much broader and more dangerous than expected. It does not predict a catastrophe; rather, it may give shape to changes, responsibilities, or emotions stirring something deep within you.
The storyteller and the circles
You are a storyteller, setting up circles in a kingdom. These images suggest bringing people together, sharing ideas, and giving a community a structure. The circle can represent a space for speaking, sharing, or ritual. So in the dream, your role is not passive: you take part in organizing a world, and your actions have consequences.
The kingdom may represent your inner world, the people around you, or a collective project. The upheaval that follows could reflect the feeling that an initiative—even one with good intentions—sets in motion a change you cannot fully control.
The rock, the sea, and the wave
The rock giving way in the cove resembles a barrier giving way. Perhaps it was protecting a bay or holding something back. When the sea rushes in, it brings both life and disorder: a new opening, but also an emotional force too great to contain.
The prince says it is a good thing. His presence may represent an authority, a reassuring voice, or the part of you that believes this change is necessary. Yet when you go to see for yourself, the tsunami has already caused damage. Perhaps the dream highlights a gap between enthusiasm for a transformation and the lived experience of its consequences.
The wave carries you away with a friend: you are not alone in facing what is happening, but you are exposed to a force beyond your control. The fact that some houses withstand it matters. Not everything is destroyed: some sources of support, connections, or resources remain, even though the landscape has changed.
The submerged buildings and the restaurant
You then find yourself with other people in buildings underwater, including a restaurant. This may evoke a familiar world—the places where people work, connect, and find nourishment—now inaccessible or transformed. The restaurant, in particular, may touch on the question of what nourishes you, both physically and emotionally: what remains available when your surroundings are upheaved?
Water covers the buildings, but the characters continue moving around inside them. This may suggest that you are passing through a deep emotional zone without completely losing your ability to act or find your way.
The old man and the oversized cutlery
The survivor you dislike, an old man armed with oversized cutlery, introduces a strange, almost grotesque threat. He wants to “eat” you: this image may represent someone or something trying to absorb you, drain your energy, or reduce you to a resource. It may also embody a more inward fear: being swallowed up by other people’s needs, by a situation, or by the consequences of your own commitment.
But the dream shows you as fiercer than he is. You manage to intimidate him and defend yourself. This is a powerful image of your ability to set a boundary and refuse to be devoured, even when you are vulnerable or out of your element.
Getting out of the water and being welcomed
You eventually reach dry land and think you will be welcomed. The ending remains uncertain, but it opens up the possibility of refuge, support, or a return to a form of safety. The phrase “I think” preserves a note of uncertainty: perhaps you hope to find help without yet knowing whether it will be there.
Your overall impression—that something wonderful is happening, mixed with something serious, hidden, or underestimated—seems to sum up the dream. Something new may be welcome, bringing warmth and people together, while also stirring forces that need to be acknowledged. The dream is not necessarily telling you to give up on change; rather, it seems to invite you not to mistake its potential for something good for an absence of risk, and to take seriously what might be overwhelmed.
A question to keep in mind might be: In what area of my life am I opening a door or bringing people together, while sensing that an important consequence has not yet been fully considered?
