dream interpretation
Posted by montanius on 2013/10/11 21:10:10
These weeks I read Carl Gustav Jung's „Memories, Dreams, Perceptions”, and I envied his foretelling dreams, so I decided to write down my ones – hoping I can find something new in myself. So I started keeping a dream-diary. I realized he (Jung) often dreamt of classical mythological symbols, what makes the interpretation somewhat easier. In fact I hardly saw anything in my dreams that could be interpreted by means of any Europian mythologies I know.
But today I had a dream in which there were two animals which frequently appear in dream interpretations, the only problem is that they are never in the specific situation I saw them in mine. So I'd appreciate if someone could help me in interpreting this:
In a familiar park in my home city there is a side-show (杂耍) . There aren't many people around. One of the wagons is actually a bank office, it operates like a fast food, sells to the street (which is the grass of the park now). I am about to rob this bank. I wait in a white closet facing the „bank”. For a reason I give up my plan first, then I am in that closet again, but this time I have a partner, a huge, bulky man of about sixty. He prepares himself, as a disguise (because he wants to look like a painter(!)) he puts some paint on his hair and shoulders, musty(!) paints of different colours. I notice that there are some men between us and the „bank” who know me (to be exact they know my identity, this is the expression I used here), so I can not take part in the robbery, but before I could tell this to my partner he sets off toward the „bank”. I desperately wish in myself that something would happen now. And then, all of a sudden, a beautiful, strong, massive bull shows up. It is in the middle of the sloping, grassy area on the left. The people starts panicking, I hear shouts „Someone stop it” etc. My partner turns to it and as they encounter the bull stabs the horn to the man; the man loses one of his legs and one of his arms at once, and his blood starts „pouring”. They fall into a shallow hole, some parts of the fight I can not see.
There is a transformation here. Now I feel the bull is my partner, and this wounded bull (actually a torso, I see it now from behind, it has no legs by now) fights with a huge snake; the snake has bitten it and holds it at the neck. Both the bull's and the snake's skin disappear, they have hardly more than bones. By this time the snake is only a snake head and a short part of the body, but it still furiously bites the bull. The bull is lifeless. I (or someone else, I am not sure of this) jump there and beat the snake to death with a soft, thick stick.
I read the meaning of dreaming about bulls or snakes, but in this case the interpretations are contradictory. So any ideas are welcomed!
