  • Satanic Dream was created by Opossum
    It started 2 years ago and has been reoccuring off and on since.

    It starts off with me in a wooden boat in an ocean of boiling water... inside the water is a bunch of naked and rotting bodies... but they are still alive and tring to get into my boat... then I see an island where all the people are washed up on... I remember that the ground was black sand... then I get to a gate where I see a whole bunch of shipwrecks with satanic looking creatures on them... then I get to a cliff where i see a serpent and a dog headed man holding an houglass in his left hand and the symbol of therianthropy in the other... they are guarding a door that leads to nowhere. I look around and see My father beheaded on the ground and my mother hanging upside down over the cliff dead... then i also see a teddy bear hanging... I run into the door and I get into a happy place then i change into some strange looking 6 foot demon rat that is enslaved by demons and forced to eat dead human remains... then I die

    It's driving me mad... please someone help

    To understand a recurring dream, it is important to consider what was going on in your waking life when they first started... in this case, 2 years ago. Here's a link to an page on this site that helps explain why:

    recurring dreams

    Next, consider the meanings of the symbols in your dreams. For your convenience, here are links to each of them:

    boat

    water

    dead body

    beach

    black

    devil

    cliff

    snake

    animal

    dog

    door

    body part (beheaded)

    rat

    death

    There are so many symbols in your dream, that they might prove confusing or overwhelming when trying to discern its main meaning. To avoid that, identify those symbols with the most emotional value... those that played the biggest role or stood out the most in your dream. Your dream appears to involve a number of symbols that are variations of or supportive of others in the dream. This is common. Again, narrowing your focus to the key symbols will help you identify its main meaning effectively and efficiently.

    It's hard to say with certainty what was going on in your waking life 2 years ago based solely on the symbols in your dream. That being said, it's clear from the dream that your emotions were running hot (boiling water), and there was emotional carnage (dead bodies), involving what you perceived to be "evil" and duplicitous people (rat, serpent) who virtually make you swallow it (the last part of your description.) The presence of your parents in the dream suggest that the dream is about your family and/or family life. Such a dream might have been caused by a divorce, bankruptcy/eviction, or similar tragedy to your family. If you would care to share some details about what was going on in your life at the time of the dream, it would make it easier for me and others to help you "connect the dots."

    If you are still uncertain about the area of your life to which the dream is referring, consider how you felt in the dream, because feelings in dreams are never disguised. So, how you felt IN the dream is how you really feel about its subject in waking life. It would appear based on your description that you felt afraid, concerned, and ultimately resigned.

    Once you understand your dream, it is likely to go away, or at least morph into something else less threatening. Knowing its meaning will help you confront and process the feelings about that waking life event which have haunted you for 2 years.

    I hope that this has helped. Good luck and as the Dream Doctor says... follow your dreams!

    Okay thanks, This helped very much... I can't really remember what happened 2 years ago, but I think thats when my mother moved away (Family has been divorced since 1997, but she lived down the road from us) She moved 100s of miles without even saying anything...

    Awhile ago someone told me that the Hourglass in my dream meant I was worried of a deadline or something... Is this accurate?

    Also I have more details to add (It was graphic and I wasn't sure about posting it)

    I don't know if these extra details has much difference in the interpretation
    but in the "Happy Place it was VERY bright green grass and one stand alone willow tree"

    The Transformation was like a very painful experiance like skin stretching , bones breaking remending and the skin eventually breaking away."

    Thanks for your time it is Greatly Appreciated...

    It sounds as if you identified the waking life experience that generated your dreams. Your description of the transformation as being a "very painful experience like skin stretching, bones breaking" etc. is a perfect metaphor for someone going through challenging growing pains exacerbated by a mother who abandoned you. The hanging teddy bear is an apt symbol for your childhood, left dangling, suspended helplessly upside down.

    As for your "happy place" in the dream (a symbol of your "escape" from limbo into which you were put), the color green complements the symbol of a tree. Links to their definitions are below:

    green

    tree

    As for the hourglass in the dream, it is a variation of a clock as a symbol, which can represent a deadline or timeline, but there may be more to it, given your mom's abandonment. Hourglasses with their slow trickle of sand may suggest what you sensed the SLOW passage of time which seems appropriate given the isolation and loneliness you probably felt as you awaited her return. Here's a link to the definition of a clock in a dream:

    clock

    As you come to terms with the feelings associated with what happened to you, these dreams are likely to become less frequent, if not stop entirely. Other dreams reflecting your feelings about your mom may take their place. They will put you in touch with your evolving feelings about her.

    You are asking all of the right questions. The more you become aware and attuned to those feelings, the less obscure, obtuse and confusing your dreams about her will be. It's all part of the healing process. Don't hesitate to reach out for help and counsel from those who can help you understand and process the feelings.

    Sweet dreams.
