The setting is an old fashion Study/Library. Instead of book on the shelves there were heads of dead people. Thousands! There was someone there with me but I don't know who. I remember the person who was with me was leaving the room and I became afraid saying "Please don't leave me alone or it will start again!". They left and all the heads started talking and yelling at me (must have been mentally because their mouth's were not moving. I can't say what they were telling me because it was like a mob yelling and nothing was really distinguishable except I knew they were not happy with me being there.

Anyway I woke up and my wife said "What the Hell is wrong? You were making funny noises and you had jimmy legs".

So Doc, what's the analysis?
 
What are jimmy legs?

Leg twitches in bed. Kinda like I was struggling to get out of a bag. I have started watching Futurama lately but not in the past two weeks...? I guess it could be that. I don't know why I didn't leave with the person. Maybe because I felt it was necessary to stay in the room but didn't want to but felt compelled to.

Never head of the haunted cave so that couldn't be it.

Do you feel like you are being pulled in to many directions by to many people?
THAT'S IT!!! I think?
 
Actually I'd say you had a really archetypal dream there. At the gates of hell or as a challenge to the Hero of the Quest, the evolution of the soul requires one to pass by screaming heads. They scream insults and warnings to turn back. The person in the room with you was your true self, the Other, the Guide, the Companion, the Way and Goal, the alchemists transmutative secret. The screaming heads are real. They are all the screaming heads that have told us that we are worthless, useless and evil. They are the putdowns that forced us to conform, to cleave ourselves in two, to abandon the real for the false, to separate from our true self. To return to unity, to integrate the opposite selves we have become, we must remember the voices that tore us apart, we must walk into their embrace and re-experience their awful insult. We must feel their stinging pain, see, sometimes by means of a magic mirror, and heal. Your dream was a symbolic and deep upwelling of that truth.

How very C. Jung... Technically I failed my test. Too afraid to face the choices ahead of me.

Basically I'm unfamiliar with Jung, but I suppose that's so. That myth is a blueprint and representation of the human psyche, I have no doubt.

The test, unless you were referring to the chapter on Jung, can be worked at from two ends. Our fears are that the voices are true. The challenge is to remember them by having the courage to feel what we feel, that is to say to feel how true we feel they are, and at the same time to challenge them in the external world, to go in the direction of one's fears and to achieve in mastering them an ever increasing sense of real self accomplishment.

I suspect your getting more and more interested in Jung..😉

Yeah, I think the silent partner in the room is his other self... the one who experiences the reality wondering what this self is gonna do about it all. Silently waiting for resolution. Scared perhaps. I like your notion propounded a few posts ago. Confront the evil putdowners... but, how... that is the dilema facing the silent self... find the answer the other self is the seeker.. perhaps.

Ain't it neat that when in dream state your body is shut down... so it can't hurt itself.. I think it is really a good feature and proof of dream state reality embedded in our genetic makeup.

What is going on in your life right now. Usually dreams are some kind of replay of what you thought about or felt during the day.

 
Thanks a lot, pal. Now I'm gonna dream about screamin' heads tonight. Either that, or the reacurring dream where I'm Batman with no pants on.

You are feeling guilty for killing all those people and decorating your house with their heads.
 
"You are feeling guilty for killing all those people and decorating your house with their heads. "

hahahahaha LOL

But seriously, you need to work on your low self esteem.

The Unknown person:
The fact that you don't know who the person is means that their identity is irrelevant. The are someone, ANYONE who you attach yourself to to protect you.

The effect of them leaving:
You fear that you cannot be safe or protected without ~some~ other person. You find your value in your relationships with others.

The Skulls:
You also put too much weight on what others think, instead of trusting yoru own opinions and judgements. This is often confusing since so many people have so many different opinions. (There is further evidence to support this since you felt the need to post this here where you will get opinions of MANY others, since you can't trust your own. Please also note that you didn't post this on any likely board to get a professional or religious perspective so it is unlikely you'd get any valuable responses!)

I recommend you read some books on positive thinking and motivation. Perhaps something that focuses on your self-value and assertiveness.



...That's $395 please. I don't take paypal!

My first reaction to your post was huh? Then I reread it and thought... hmmmm. Then rereread it and got it... It's been a slow night in my brain...🙂
 
Now I have Bananas in the mouth's of the heads on the shelves!!! I think Freud is coming into the discussion now! I agree that the voices could be those of influences in my life but more demands of life, family, work, users, servers, cut the grass, shovel the dirt, fix the car, the power just went out and I was working on a spreadsheet for 5 hours but never saved get the file back! The other with me could be my sanity keeping a cool head when every responsibility of life bombards me.

Or it could still be the futurama thing.
