Spooky encounter with the afterlife...Dream interpreters needed

[Baclava]

...let me begin...

Had a really lucid dreamtime episode last night, died and went...somewhere...

Baclava was riding with a buddy in his car and the nightride got all weird...like...slow-mo and just looked "wrong"....ended out of car with buddy standing alongside road and told buddy "this don't look right - I think we're dead, dude!" Big bloodsplotch in road and we're walking along road and he said too "Yeah - I think you're right".

We end up in a "check-in line" with a box of papers and stuff in our hands with some guy asking for our dogtags...I look in the box and only see my wallet with a paper copy of my ID - "No - not good enough - we gotta see your dogtags...

End up in holding room with a lot of old people...I asked how we get out of here and they say "When new soul openings come up"...I say "shit - now I'm pissed! - We're dead? I won't be able to watch the Steelers this year!"

It gets weirder after that...woke up - looked at clock - cool still alive...

Went back to sleep - shit - back in same dream - now ended up in a holding place for ex-GI's in Canon NM...could "see" people back on "earth" responding to Spike's death notice...not pretty.

Back to afterlife party - meet a bunch of new friends...chicks and all...death ain't so bad...except where they put us till regeneration time is boring..."Why'd they put us up in this hole - Couldn't they have afforded hotel rooms in San Antonio?"

Interpret please....

1. I take it that since you started out in someone else's car that

they were doing the driving...

[Baclava]

2. That is correct .... I know the obvious - stay away from that dude...

I was dead - and knew it. As real am I'm sitting her now...I think.

...and I used to 'practice' lucid dreaming...being able to control your dreams and all...
It was nothing like that - no walking in a mall and wishing all the chicks are naked...POOF there they are...no no -this was some real shit...

...and my horoscope this morning...

The current astral configuration encourages cultivating your spirituality, dear Cancer. However advanced you are on your spiritual journey, there are revelations, awakenings, and new experiences to be had. Visit a church with stained glass windows or a secluded spot in nature that speaks to you and soak up the energy. Indulge in some investigation - check out some books on spirituality and symbols, and pay attention to your dreams.

3. the thing is...that you are allowing this person to have too much

power in your life...and you resent it...

[Baclava]

4. I haven't even talked to the dude for 6 months - that ain't it...

It was more about me...

[wildhorses]

5. that is just one aspect of this dream...

there are several levels going on here...


some of this dream concerns past lives that you have had...




on edit: at some point in your life this "driver" was influential in decisions that have been made...

[Whoa_Nelly]

6. Buy a lottery ticket--you're about to hit it big!

It's an opposite life dream....go for the big bucks! :D

7. One interpretation (for entertainment purposes only)

...told buddy "this don't look right - I think we're dead, dude!" Big bloodsplotch in road and we're walking along road and he said too "Yeah - I think you're right".

See below.

We end up in a "check-in line" with a box of papers and stuff in our hands with some guy asking for our dogtags...I look in the box and only see my wallet with a paper copy of my ID - "No - not good enough - we gotta see your dogtags...

Perhaps you know who you are in a superficial sense, but you don't know what is most important about who you have chosen to be? Perhaps there is still a blank area that you haven't explored or created?

End up in holding room with a lot of old people...

The authorities have decided that you have become set in your ways so that, unless you change your ways, you should be classified as being as old as those people you saw in the holding room.

I asked how we get out of here and they say "When new soul openings come up"...I say "shit - now I'm pissed! - We're dead?

You had already believed that you were dead. You voiced that belief. It didn't register until you were officially (or unofficially?) told by others. Are there any situations or events that are important to you, but that you are ignoring even though you already have good reason to believe that they are real and important to you?

I won't be able to watch the Steelers this year!"

That is an odd reaction. I can't explain it.

[Baclava]

8. Thanks - it still seems surreal...

"I won't be able to watch the Steelers this year!"

That is an odd reaction. I can't explain it.

That one is easy enough - I'm a big Steelers fan...

[Boojatta]

9. The context suggests that you are a very big fan

Next dream: Steelers in bus crash; you find them and nurse them to health; then you take drastic measures to keep them playing in your oversized backyard. (Just kidding)

[Baclava]

10. I like the lottery idea better...

In fact - I'm going out to buy one now.

I did just get a big box of Steelers SB gear - I'm sure that had nothing to do with it...

11. Heres an interpretation

Your neurons were randomly firing. Any spare thoughts that were stored in your short term memory were flooded into your brain, and thus created a dream.

But maybe that's not the kind if interpretation you wanted ;)
