Labyrinth

I seem to have this recurring dream.  

I'm trapped in a labyrinth. Not the awesome kind of labyrinth that I end up meeting David Bowie in, but a Nightmare Before Christmas crossed with The Secret Garden and a little bit of Harry Potter thrown in there.

Anyways, as I'm walking down this terrifying labyrinth of doom, all I can think about is labyrinth seals (probably because I can never remember how they work). All of the sudden, I just start full out running, maybe something was chasing me, maybe I just like to run because I can actually breathe in my dreams, who knows?

I come across this door hidden in all these dead vines (here's where the Secret Garden comes in). Now, I think to myself, should I open this door?........


Then I wake up.



Unfortunately, I've only gone through the door once. And it was a bad move for my dream self to make.

I opened the door, and fell through a massive pit that seemed to never end. Unlike a lot of the dreams that I have, I didn't hit the ground hard enough to wake me up. Instead, I hit the ground hands first (not breaking my wrists! Woo dreamland!) and its pitch black.

A light comes on. I look down.



Faces, everywhere as far as I can see are decomposing faces, as if they've been cemented into the ground.


Then I wake up. Generally to terrified to go to sleep again.


So, I've been trying to figure out what this all means.... maybe I don't open the door because I know whats inside it, or maybe my life has turned a new direction and the door represents anticipation of the future?  


All I know is that I have some crazy dreams......

  1. Wow that is very complex. Sounds to me like a fear of the unknown. And perhaps the reoccuring is because once you opened and had a bad experience. So now you are reluctant to open the door in fear of the same thing. Hope this makes sense. That is what it seems like to me anyways. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am your newest follower! BTW I loved your suggestion about the ringer in your phone. Can you send me a message through the contact me form on my blog and let me know how to do this. I really should be taking my medications regularly but I am having an awful time remember. Thanks Denise
