A dream I had a week ago that I can't get out of my mind. Any thoughts?
My dog barks. Someone jumps over the fence to my backyard, like a burglar. I try to defend myself with a BB gun, but all that comes out is air, the bullets are gone. My fiancée rushes out to confront the man, but is deftly flipped over and tossed into the swimming pool. He comes very close to the sliding glass door; I open it blocking the way. There are many five note, circular wind chimes hanging from the ledge of the roof separating us, and hanging from the chimes are dead birds. He threateningly asks if I have any children. I say I do not. (I don’t have any, but would have said no either way.) The dead birds are swirling around my head, confusing me. The man gets closer and closer, reeking of force and power. I ask, "What do you want?" He replies, "The truth." I wake up.
At first the dream was very scary, and felt like an attack on my home and the people I care about. Afterward, I was still scared, but also thoughtful. I don't think the man was really trying to hurt me, just scary because he was so powerful. Was man trying to tell me I am lying to myself and/or others? Am I seeing and living untruths? What is the truth he wanted? What did the dead birds hanging from the windchimes mean?

Re: Dead Birds and more
Fri, April 4, 2008 - 8:03 AMI enjoyed the reverse imagery of this portion:
He comes very close to the sliding glass door; I open it blocking the way.
Especially that opening the door actually blocks the way rather than allowing access. This smacks of gatekeeper to me.
Ever see the movie with David Bowe called The Labyrinth? THe part where they are in the obliette and hoggle opens the same door many ways? This dream is showing you one of your specialities. :) Very cool.
Blessings
