Crazy Dreams

[ladyrowan]

I've seen a few threads recently about dreams and their meanings, so thought i'd tell you one to see if anyone can make any sense of it.

My dreams are usually totally mixed up, stupid even, but this one was so silly that it's stayed in my mind for about 5 years and no-one has ever found any meaning to it............


I dreamt i was working in my local pub, (this was about a year after i stopped working there for real) and i was clearing up at closing time.
I was collecting glasses, emptying ashtrays, cleaning tables in my bare feet. Pretty stupid thing to be doing in a pub, but in the dream it seemed perfectly natural.
Anyway, i trod on a piece of glass and my little toe started bleeding. I sat down to get the offending piece of glass out, but as i pulled it out it wasn't a piece of glass at all, it was a garlic clove the same size as my toe! I just thought to myself "Oh, wonder how that got in there?" and carried on clearing up! :crazy:

I'll give it a try... :) I think your dream means that there was going to be a change in your life...but not so much for the pleasent. (The garlic could also mean the bring about of a new love...???)





Garlic is usually considered protection unless you don't like garlic then it might be considered a sign of unpleasantness.

When seeing blood in a dream, prepare a period of hard work against hostile forces. Also since it was you yourself loosing blood signifies that you might be suffering from exhaustion or maybe you feel emotionally drained?? Where you pregnant? When women dream of blood before or on their period it could mean their are pregnant.

To see broken glass in your dream, signifies a change in your life.

Well...I gave it a shot. Since its been awhile since the dream...why don't ya tell me how I did :)

Andromeda, you did very, very well, it's really beginning to make sense now.

Firstly, I wasn't pregnant - thankfully! That would have caused even more problems. But the rest of it was spot on.

Blood in a dream, meaning hostile forces and exhaustion?
I was indeed totally exhausted and emotionally drained at that time. I'd had about 10 years of nothing but depression brought on by severe financial problems (almost lost our home twice), problems with a very troublesome adolescent/teenage son, younger son with several health problems (including narrowly avoiding death in an accident, he's fine now) and a very complicated love-life. My spiritual self was almost entirely neglected. I had the dream around the middle of a 4 year period between 2 breakdowns.

I think the pub in the dream was probably quite significant too. It had played a big part in my life for most of those years. I'd been working there about 3 years when my marriage broke up; my husband was very possesive and hated me having any contact with the outside world, and me working in a pub was the beginning of the end for us. Shortly after that I met, in the pub, the man I thought was the love of my life but who eventually turned out to be the biggest b*****d you could imagine.

You say the broken glass signifies a change in life.
Perhaps seeing it in the pub was a message that I should say goodbye to that part of my life and move on. Shame it took me 2 more years to do it!
The garlic (which i do like) meaning protection, and possibly new love?
I can see now that I did have protection and help around me, there was a point I almost ended it all, but something stopped me. New love? I did try again, but the same problems kept cropping up (and i STILL ignored the lessons!!)

There was a huge change in my life after the 2nd breakdown. I turned into a bit of a hermit and finally started listening to the lessons I'd ignored for all those years, cut off contact from most of the people I'd been mixing with, finally accepted that I'd been totally wrong about that man and stopped believing we'd get back together again (we'd split up several times, but he'd always come back before. He's since moved about 300 hundred miles away, so never see him around), and I started to really think about where I'd been going wrong, got to know myself and what I needed and went for it, starting off with going back to college (my husband had made me leave a few years earlier).

It was a tough lesson, but well and truly learnt. I feel like a different person now, look at life differently, have become fiercely independant (perhaps a bit too much) and have learnt what my priorities are. I'm still learning to trust my inner self, but i'm getting there. And most of the time I'm happy!:sunny:

So, I'd say you're interpretaion of the dream was pretty accurate!
(someone else had said that garlic was for healing, so i'd probably have some problems with my feet! 8O )
I'd often wondered why it was one of a very few dreams that had stayed in my mind; always thought i'd missed a message there somewhere. Seems obvious now, especially as i was clearing up at closing time in the dream too - gettiing rid of all the rubbish in my life perhaps?

So, Thankyou Andromeda, you've helped clear up of lifes little mysterys for me :)

Bright Blessings
