Coffee and Dragons

[Nature's Breath]

OK so any dream interpreters out there want a crack at this one?

I am at a sort of celebration I am given a gift which is like coffee beans with colour/flavoured bits in it - Ieat some of it raw. Then someone tells me I am suppose to make into a drink. I shrug my shoulders I don't care it taste good.

As part of the celebration there is going to be a dragon parading around. I think about going downstairs and look down over the railing. The room below is round and people are lining the outside - the dragon will enter the room I am in go downstairs round the circle and back up the stairs and out the door. So I decide to stand at the top of the stairs by the door so I can follow the dragon when it goes

The dragon comes and parades and I follow it -the dream ending as I walk through the door -nobody else from the room follows me and I am pleased

Hiya, Nature's Breath! I practice a form of dream interpretation where I take the dream on as my own. Here's what I got from your dream:

In my dream, I notice that the 2 most important aspects seem to be doing things differently from the "norm." I eat the beans that are "supposed to" be a drink. I follow the dragon when no one else does. And these are things I do intuitively. Not only do I not care about other people's reactions, I'm in fact quite proud of my actions. If I'm normally a person who follows along with the crowd & conventional wisdom, this dream tells me that it's time to reevaluate that & see if there are places where I should be trusting myself more. If I'm normally a less conforming individual, this dream tells me I'm on the right track - as long as I follow my own path because it feels right to me, and not just for the sake of nonconformity.

My dream deals with 2 distinct areas of life: the physical (eating the beans) and the spiritual/creative (the dragon). The physical part relates to my body and my finances. Maybe I've been getting a lot of advice about my health or my money? This dream reminds me that, as helpful as outside advice is, ultimately, I am the one who has to make the decision - and live with the consequences. As to the dragon, have I been getting criticism about my spiritual path? Am I being told that I spend too much time "in a fantasy world"? My dream tells me that, on the contrary, this is the path I need to be on for now - but that if I choose to travel a path that leads me away from the company of others, I'd better be darned sure I'm content with my own company!

I hope you find some of that helpful.

Thanks that is helpful :) I am normanlly the person who goes against the norm based on my instincts....then although I will go against the crowd feel concious about it. So I guess my atitude is changing (in that I am becoming proud of my actions )

LOL what you said about me getting critism about my spiritual path is so true....I'm forever being told to 'Live in the real world' and my path and career has taken me further and further away from the 'Real World' but I think that like in the dream I am now prepared to leave the others behind because their real world dosn't interest me

That's a great interpretation!
