So basically it was a war or something and I was a prince or something and we were always discovering these secret rooms which I could hide in because since I was the leader even though that wasn’t what I asked for, those rooms kept me safe. At one point I was at my school and one of my guards got poisoned and I had the idea to put his body on display (but covered to be respectful) to everyone in the dining hall to show how serious the war is, but my dad was mad at me and said some story about burying his own dad in a coffin he made with own hands, so I don’t do that. Somehow I lose the body of the guard and now I’m running around the dining hall without pants on trying to find the body and some random person smacks my ass.
This dream appears to contain elements of power, protection, responsibility, guilt, and vulnerability.
Being a prince or leader in a war symbolizes a position of authority and a sense of control. Discovering secret rooms represents finding safety and refuge amidst chaos or conflict. It suggests that you have the ability to navigate difficult situations and protect yourself or those close to you.
The incident with the poisoned guard and your decision to display his body in the dining hall indicates a desire to showcase the seriousness and gravity of the war. However, your father's disapproval and his story about burying his own father in a homemade coffin suggests that there may be a conflict between your sense of responsibility and your desire for personal expression or actions.
Losing the body of the guard may symbolize a fear of losing control or failing in your leadership role. It might also reflect a sense of guilt or remorse for the decisions you have made, especially if they have unintended consequences.
Running around the dining hall without pants on signifies vulnerability and a lack of protection. It indicates a fear of being exposed or judged for your actions. The random person smacking your ass represents an invasion of personal boundaries, which further accentuates feelings of vulnerability and powerlessness.
Overall, this dream may suggest a struggle between leadership responsibilities, personal expression, feelings of guilt, and fears of vulnerability. It might be helpful to reflect on these themes in your waking life and how they might relate to your current circumstances or relationships.
