I had a very vivid dream last night that I would like to share it with you. I wonder if any of you have had the same type of dream. I believe that dreams are used by “subconscious mind” to communicate with the “conscious mind”, so I’m sure that this dream has a meaning.
Here it goes….
I dreamed that I was unjustly put in jail and facing deportation (but the thing is that I’m a naturalized US citizen, which means that technically I can’t be deported to my country of birth). In the dream, my wife visited me and at times stayed with me in my jail cell. I was allowed to move about the prison yard, but was restrained from fully enjoying many of the activities that I usually like to do, like reading books. From my jail cell window, I was able to have a small view of the city streets. There was a parade on the city street in which they had a huge hippopotamus, this hippopotamus got out of control and very angry and it grew to a size of a five story building. The hippopotamus head/face changed to that of a turtle. I was scared…but thankful that I was in the jail cell as it provided protection from the charging “monster”. But that sense of security was lost at the moment that the monster looked at me right in the eye…it charged at my jail cell, I felt that I was being crushed by this animal…but then I woke up, thankful that it was just a nightmare.
I’ll appreciate your thoughts and comments on this dream…I feel like talking about it.
