Last night I had a dream that started off wonderful and ended morbidly, I am looking for any feedback on it. I have a feeling the dream was trying to convey a message that I am just too dense to get. I was walking through the woods with a male friend of mine, and I saw there was a unicorn not too far away. I started to approach it , and it saw me and started, and was about to run away. I held out a handfull of lettuce I had been muching on and the unicorn came over to me and ate it out of my hand while it allowed me to pet it. Now the dream was great up to that point. My male friend decided to walk up to the unicorn and pet it too, and the unicorn ran away, he started to chase it. Then this flying beast came out of the air, it was about the size of a hawk, but looked like a pteridactyl. I struggled with it for a moment, then it bit me. It latched it's beak onto the middle finger of my right hand and bit it off at the second knuckle. I felt the pain, I actually saw blood shooting out of the stump that was left as it flew off. Then my husband woke me becuase I was physically acting out from the dream. well, let me know what your opinions are, I'd love to hear them
I have heard that only a virgin may approach a unicorn. Perhaps your dream says something about your friend.
Somehow I don't think virginity applies, at least not physically LOL I'm married w/ 2 kids, and I touched it in my dream The unicorn doesn't bother me as much as the bird/beast thing ripping off my finger. That was graphic, blood, horrid, and actually painful. The thing I hate most about my dreams is I dream in vivd color and experience all sensations (touch, smell, taste, and yes,pain) as though I am awake and living it.
why do you "hate" the vividness of your dreams, or that they acknowledge nature's diversity? wild creatures, like all of us, have their own agendas, generaly invoulving their own survival and that of their species. that's why it's a good idea not to try and approach anything. pain happens. wounds heal. life goes on. =^^= .../\...
Different aspects of yourself approaching something beautiful and amazing, in different ways. It could mirror something about your own style in life.
I never said anything about nature's diversity. Being of an earth-based religion, I happen to celebrate nature in many ways. What I don't like is the vividness of my dreams because they are often as real as real life to me. There have been times I have woken up abruptly and the dream is so vivid in my memory that I have to make a serious effort to remember that is was just a dream. I don't waking up and still feeling the remants of pain from a nightmare, and for some reason, sometimes those remants can linger with me for a day or more.
^me too, but I feel dreams are there to teach us. They hold so much within them. So if a dream is powerful enough to linger over me for a day or two, then it must have something important to say. You should be thankful that your dreams are vivid enough that you can actually remember them well enough to interpret them. many people don't have that going for them. You know best what these things mean to you. You know your life, you know your feelings on unicorns, pteradactyls, your friend, your own place in life. Dreams fit into the entire context of your life, so try to see how, symbolically, these things fit in. I say this because I'm pretty bad at interpreting anyone's dreams but my own or people I know well. Even then it's always a fuzzy sort of thing.
In my humble opinion, something primordial and archetypal (symbolized as the pterodactyl), and feminine by nature, is obviously looking for your attention. It is envious of your conscious part (the unicorn), and biting off the finger it symbolically bit off the horn, I think. Maybe it is too small for a real pterodactyl because it is starving Poor creature…
