The Voices in my HeadDream Analysis Required: Tell Me What This Means...
October 9th 2006 02:14
I had this dream years ago and it plaques me to this day. I was on a little tour of nondescript wherethehellever. In fact, I was in a little group of people who were touring together. We were visiting the home of Ernest Hemingway. Of course, there were all of these ropes restricting certain areas. However, I was leaning up against this wall and my hand went through the wall to reveal this secret passageway. When I slipped my hand inside, there was this beautiful wrought iron gate with a large padlock on it. I slipped away from the group and came back to the passageway. The next thing I knew, I had slipped into the passageway and found myself in front of another wrought iron gate, this time unlocked. It opened up to Hemingway's old loft...his WRITING loft. (I love that part of the dream, that moment of realization.) I sat down in his chair and began to write. That is where the dream ends.
Here is some information you may or may not need to analyze the dream.
1. I was not writing anything at the time. I had gone several months without writing. But you should understand that was not unusual at that time in my life, as I believed I had no talent and no desire to do anything in the way of a career in writing.
2. There was nothing going on that was significant at the time of the dream elsewhere in my life.
Please do not hesitate to ask if you need more information...I am very curious as to your insight. You are all so brilliant...

*hoping* you are past the *packing* stage ...

Critical elements of the dream:
You were nowhere in particular.
At the time of the dream you were also nowhere in particular: not geographically, but as to where you wanted to be ambition wise.
Your group was little. The little group has the same interests.
Nothing more than a desire to be part of a little group of like minds.
You were at a famous writer’s house.
Who wants to be a nobody? Who remembers a dream where they were at a nobody’s house and nothing happened in the dream? Our natural desire to be somebody of worth … to be recognised for our contribution to society / the world. And you want to be a writer, so it is natural that you are at a famous writer's house ... Why Hemingway's? No idea. I'd be there for his daughter.
There were restricted areas.
Maybe you have been excluded from cliques that you would have liked to join (ones that might have benefited you) … Everyone gets excluded from something in life … I can relate to the disappointment of being excluded. It's on my mind a lot ...
You discover the secret passageway by accident not design.
You are perhaps not the most proactive person in life. (Or being over pro-active has got you into more trouble than being passive would have?) … You believe success depends on luck (or accident) as much as it does on self effort. After putting effort in, you resign yourself to waiting for fate/destiny to play its part? I like that take on life ...
The entrance to this place is beautiful.
You like good looking boys. You’re a romantic. Beauty is important to you. [Want to swap pics? Just joking].
You secretly leave the little group.
Nothing wrong with that. We will all leave our friends for a lover. But maybe you do it secretly because you don’t want to hurt their feelings or explain your motives … you don't want to get into a discussion about how you're leaving somethign good for a better good just in case they don't understand ...
You are leaving a little group for an even littler group. You want a one-on-one relationship.
You have no recollection of how you negotiated the first padlocked gate.
That one’s a mystery to me. A part of your life you forget?
The second padlocked gate opens of itself.
It’s almost like you’ll believe in something miraculous if it happens once, and so, when it happens the second time … you’re almost nonchalant when it does …
The word WRITING in his writing loft takes precedence and is capitalised. Not the word ‘his’ or ‘loft’.
Writing is more important to you than where you are writing from. And being original is more important than imitation.
You call that moment a moment of realisation (excuse the English spelling with no z’s) …
It’s almost as if … you need one little thing to get you kick-started and then there will be no stopping you … but that one little thing is not any ordinary occurrence … and that one little thing might come a lot longer after many other little things that don’t have the capacity to kick-start you … so it will be a relief when this happens …
You don’t look around the room or describe any of the interior … You just sit straight down and begin to write …
Writing is what appeals … Maybe you want to be greater than Hemingway … You may feel you have a right to be in his chair … You’re very comfortable in his seat. Maybe success, fame, fortune will sit well with you.
The dream ends there.
You want writing to go on forever and never stop. Rather than have your dream shattered, it’s better to end it there and keep it as a dream with a happy ending?
Critical Elements of your stance regarding where you were at the time of this dream.
I was only not writing because I believed I had no talent.
Beliefs (or lack of self-belief) pertain to matters of Faith.
It’s as though you were thinking: Some of Hemingway’s talent will rub off on me if only I can get to touch something of his. That’s not unlike the woman with the issue of blood in the Gospels who believes if she can only touch the hem of Christ’s garment she will be cured.
There was nothing going on that was significant at the time of the dream elsewhere in my life.
On an ordinary day (where nothing is seemingly going on) it only takes a single image, a single word, or a single event (of ordinary proportions) to trigger a dream. It could be something as simple as seeing a book. This dream you have of being a writer might have been relegated to unimportant at the time but there is no doubt it is a priority of yours … even if you do put it at the back of your mind …
That's about the best I can come up with ...

I usually forget my dreams unless they are really vivid. This one had such a total sensory feeling to it that I have not forgotten one detail and I dreamt this probably ten or more years ago. I do believe that dreams are the pathway to our subconcious. Thanks for the comments...and let me know if you have any insight as to what this may mean.

You are reincarnated from a small group of like minded people. Your blog will help you find them and why it exists on this planet. Too many reincarnations were MIA.
You picked Hemmingway because his words unlocked the path you will tread in your writing. We are all masters of our chosen fields and you will get to be a great writer too, but first you must pass the 'gates' of challenge that you yourself have set, for yourself - as a pre life agreement.
You have obviously passed the first stage, by unlocking that first barrier - perhaps your initial fear of bloigging and being seen written.
Me feelings are that the final gate will be to conquer your fears of success. Many people have this fear and it is not an easy one to overcome.
Hemmingway's loft is somewhere in the 90% of your mind that is not currently in use. There in the inner sanctum of your being is all the wisdom you will ever need to succeed. Believe me. You must push up the pathway, through those gates to get there and tap into it. YOu have greatness within you and your dream was precognitive.
I think I'll start a new blog. I'll interpret everyones dreams as I do in real life.
Sweet Dreams
Lilla.
PS What do you think of nuclear desalination plants? I'm curious.

Wow. Wow. Wow. I don't even know what to say but that was really good. Much of what you said was more psychic than analytic, I think. Thank you oodles for your post. I really appreciate it. I may respond again after I have had some time to think if over a bit.
Love the idea of the dream analysis blog. You will have a lot of traffic!
Come back,

I have my moments. New blog already created and raring to go. It's success (if any) will remain thanks to you for the inspiration and idea.
It always means so much more to me if my progress has been able to help someone else progress too. (I hope that doesn't sound too sweet and gooey?) What hardened cynics living out the Great Democratic Paradigm can make of us. huh?

Simply put, I feel that dream was a sign to u to get going w/your writing. The significance of Hemingway? That u can be as successful & respected as he; not particularly in the same writing realm, but certainly in your own.

Thank you for that...I have been told that by several people now...I think it must be something significant that so many would read into this dream that it is time for me to focus on writing.
