Years ago when I lived in Arkansas and was thinking about moving back to Spokane I had a dream I was walking on loose plywood as in a muddy area, I walked to the edge of a cliff, and beneath me was the sea and there were killer whales in the ocean, I jumped in; and I woke up.
Dreaming of walking on loose plywood in a muddy area symbolizes feelings of instability or uncertainty in your current life situation, particularly at the time you were considering a move from Arkansas back to Spokane. The loose plywood suggests a precarious situation or a fear that things might not hold up as expected. Mud often represents murky situations, confusion, or challenges that need to be navigated through thoughtfully.
Approaching the edge of a cliff suggests that you were contemplating taking a significant risk or making a major decision. Cliffs in dreams often indicate a critical point or a turning point, where a decision is required, with the potential for great change.
The sea beneath symbolizes the subconscious mind, emotions, and the vast unknown. Given your contemplation of moving back to Spokane, the sea could represent the vast possibilities and uncertainties that such a move would entail. Water, especially the ocean, often symbolizes emotions, so you might have been feeling overwhelmed by the emotional weight of your decision.
Killer whales in the ocean can symbolize power, family, and protection but can also represent intimidating or powerful emotions and situations. They are often viewed as both majestic and potentially dangerous creatures, suggesting that you saw both potential and risk in the move you were considering.
Jumping into the water, despite the presence of killer whales, might represent a willingness to confront your fears and embrace the unknown. It suggests a readiness to dive into the next chapter of your life, regardless of the risks or fears that might accompany it. This act of jumping might indicate a leap of faith, showing your courage and readiness to face the challenges of moving and starting anew.
Overall, this dream reflects your inner turmoil and apprehension about the big decision you were contemplating. Yet, your action of jumping demonstrates a powerful resolve to move forward, indicating hope and determination to embrace changes and overcome fears in pursuit of new opportunities.
