LillaComponents and Locations of Dream Buildings ~ A-H
September 27th 2007 00:43
If the Balcony / sill is Too Narrow – you must look to your waking support network of friends and family and look to where it is failing you, or letting you down.
Bath ~ If you are bathing, you are being alerted to the fact that you need to cleanse some old feelings, time to relax and let go of some past emotional hurt. Whilst in your dream bath, you are being told that you have a chance to contemplate the importance this past has had in your life… if you have learned the lesson, (paid the karma back) … relax, it is time to release it.
Bathroom ~ (see 'Rooms').
Communal Bathing ~ depicts a personality in need of innocence and sensuality combined.
Bedrooms ~ (see 'Rooms').
Construction or Demolition ~ We all have the ability to build successful lives, or to sabotage / self-destruct that which we have worked hard to gain. Others too, sometimes have the ability to build us up, or tear us down.
These aspects will be highlighted clearly in your dreamscape by the qualities of construction and demolition of the building / structure you find yourself within …
Either way, this symbol is helping to point to the qualities and abilities within and without yourself and how they relate to you, now.
If you clearly see someone in the dream, tearing down a part of your structure, then you can take it that this person is against you in real life, often due to jealousy and hatred, malice or spite.
However, spiritually doors can also represent a passage from one phase of life to another, often marking a new beginning.
An Open Door ~ means you are feeling confident enough to embark on the next stage of your life.
Opening and Closing Doors ~ (in classical terms) can indicate your attitude to sex, as well as intercourse itself.
A Door that is Stuck Shut ~ means you're feeling stuck somehow in your life, un-empowered, or believe you're being held back by others (people, God, the universe, etc.). Make sure you're taking responsibility for your life instead of blaming others.
Barring the Door Yourself ~ is highlighting your need for protection right now. Learn about psychic protecting using light and crystals, or prayer and assertiveness. Are you saying yes to sex, when you really mean NO? Check your motivations.
If a Person or Animal Forces the Door Open ~ it shows that our own protective mechanisms have let you down and you need to be more aware of your surroundings and who and what moves within it. Time to get grounded, try some simply Yoga stretches and focus on your breathing.
Someone Knocking on The Door ~ This is a very important dream and you must take notes of what lies immediately around after this occurs, even what room you are in when it happens. To have someone knocking on the door, signifies that your attention is being drawn to an external situation, currently around you. Look to the clues around to reaveal what.
An explosion in a dream can also represent an experience or fear of sudden and unavoidable crisis or challenge in your life often a sign too, that one may be on the way to you. Again look to the anger within yourself that may be attracting the crisis situation into your waking world, and try to work through it.
Dream Furniture will also add hints on how we're feeling about ourselves, too.
Bed/Mattress ~ This is highlighting to you what is happening in the most subtle areas of your close relationships. What is happening on the bed will give clues as to your attitudes to both intimacy and sexual pleasure.
For others the bed is a dream sanctuary where you can rest and be totally alone.
Old Books ~ indicate the need or ability to look after your own resources.
New Books ~ may be hinting at your need to learn some new things. Time to update your old (mental) files?
The Bible or Koran (Religious Books) ~ signify hidden or sacred knowledge and is pointing you to look into the realms of just such knowledge for reassurance that you are going in the right direction.
Brightly Painted Objects ~ often testify to an up-beat mentality.
Carpet ~ is s symbol that often appears to draw attention to your emotional links with finance.
Note the colour of the carpet as it will help target the correct symbolism.
Cupboard/Wardrobe ~ represent the things we keep hidden from everyday life... they often warn about the different roles we play in life.
Being Shut In A Cupboard ~ warns urgently of not getting 'shut in' the roles you are play-acting through your waking life, to the detriment of your soul growth. Remember, it is okay to be vulnerable and a pre-requisite to learning and growing as a human being, get comfortable with your own vulnerability.
(See door, or window, keys and/or keyhole for individual meanings to help decipher this symbol clearly.)
Iron ~ often suggests you feel unequal to your peers but may be trying to smooth things over.
To be Ironing Your Clothes ~ suggests that you are trying to make yourself more presentable to the outside world and may be feeling a litle tarnished by inner thoughts or through incorrect associations. It is time to listen to your inner voice.
Tables ~ are a symbol of communial activity and our views on being a part of them through our social affiliations. (See Alter).
Take note of encounters, feelings and colours you see in hallways. Are they going up or down?

It is a remarkable journey that you can take with yourself. The real fun comes after completing a journal or two and then reading back over them, a year or two later... the sheer prophecy of our dreams is remarkable and fully revealed this way.
I find that over the years, understanding my dreamscapes has helped emormously with less fear in my waking world. Perhaps it's about connecting the conscious and subconscious that makes it so.
I truly hope these pages of mine, help you take this incredible journey of self-discovery, as I have.
Remember, the small details, like colours, numbers and weather ... (I will do a weather post as soon as buildings are complete)...

Anotehr interesting installment - I hope you are writing a book on this.... I will be first in line.... if I had one already the pages would be worn (can an online page get worn?)
ooooh I have recurring dreams of walking down a pitch dark hallway with a ghostly face coming down toward me, white hair whipping in the wind behind it and laughing wickedly.... gives me chills everytime! We have discussed it before.... chilling!
Another great addition to the list.

That is creepy, but I can remember a time when that face came at me in my waking life! Creeped me right out and I ended up getting hypnotherapy to stop it.
Have we talked about faces and white hair? I'm happy to add to our chat if you need more info on specifics...okay?
I hope it clear's up soon, I really do.

Yes this face came to me in my waking world too - it was not pleasant. It seems to only come when I am away from home?! i reckon I understand why though.
We have spoken about this before and what you have said has integrated fully with what has gone on. I will be interested to see if, in the next couple of months when I move off again, it starts to pop up again. Thank you for your offer, you have helped me heaps here, your interpretation sits in my shoebox for me to read when needed!
I have another question for you though - in the case of prophetic dreams (sigh here she goes again
Many, many times I have had dreams - sometimes with myself as representing someone else, other times as myself as just part of the dream watching something happen to someone else - but they seem to be prophetic because sure as eggs a few days later that will happen - and normally it is something that comes with no warning so it`s not something that has been sitting in my subconscious. (These are specific things not just random symbols that can be attributed to anything)
Does that make sense?
It`s all very confusing to me, just when I thought I had the hang of it too!
Perplexing to me, perhaps easy to you, perplexing to us both maybe... whichever don`t rush to reply.... just a passing question really
Hope you enjoyed your time away... hope your dad is comfortable - I imagine it was a bittersweet visit for you.
love

Prophetic dreams are just that. Prophetic. They are very common, but few have developed their abilities (or taken an interest in them) preferring to obsess about shopping instead... not saying you don't like to shop Ash, but you know what I mean
The thing is as a practicing spiritual counsellor and clairvoyant, I have learned what every clairvoyant has learned the hard way, as human beings we all possess a psychic antenna, which we can choose to use, or to shut down. (Back to my comment on developing the right skills in life) …
The best way to think about it is to think of your inborn psychic faculty as a big satellite dish capable of receiving hundreds of channels. It is up to you to program your internal satellite dish to pick up the kind of information you need and want, and to tune out the rest. Obviously you have a penchant for using your dreams as a means of ‘tuning’ in.
Taking a psychic development class, or meditating, or experimenting with oracular devices such as the Tarot, can activate any dormant psychic abilities, allowing for the ability to dream prophetically. While it is true that all of our dreams, throughout all of our lives, hold some future content, the meaning is often coded in symbol and not immediately apparent to the dreamer. But when we begin to open up psychically, the dream content becomes much more literal, with dream scenes identical to forthcoming events. It is this type of dream that we can then begin to use to our benefit and the benefit of others, through recorded and studied application.
The first principle of reality : Energy flows where attention goes.
In developing these dreaming skills ~ especially when young ~ you can often be vulnerably wide open, receiving only the strongest signals. These signals are invariably emotionally charged events that involve death , injury, illness or disaster. For this reason it is wise to attend one or two psychic development classes of some sort, so that you do not get freaked out (on your own)… strength in numbers, protection techniques too.
Dreams foretelling the death of loved ones are perhaps the most common of all, and if we are honest with ourselves, they can also be the most healing. One of the best explanations of why we dream these dreams comes from author Rosemary Ellen Guiley, in her comprehensive book, Dreamwork for the Soul.
Mary writes:
~oOo~
/seriously/ to see yourself in dreams like you did is simply a case of lucid dreaming. To be lucid in dreams, it is just to dream being aware you are living a dream... Unlike the common dreamer, the lucid dreamer takes his dream as it is : an hallucinatory/inner experience lived in a dream state and not an inner experience lived in waking state.

this process can be reversed too and switched off. For example, I was dreaming of major events like the 9/11 and recent Tsunami and I asked them (upstairs) to switch it off if I couldn't make a change by knowing the information...w hat good is it? It was only serving to disturb me deeply - mroe deeply than I already am *chuckle*
calm as a greenhouse now... that was another, 'some-storm.'

Whew! Who knew dreaming could be all so confusing! Thanks so very much for taking the time to write such a great reply. It is making more sense now and certainly has eased a little of my concerns with it.
this particularly hits home - i dreamed of something that has been concerning me a lot in reality recently and now that you have explained it like this it makes a lot more sense and has put my mind at rest over an issue that I shouldn`t really be worried about.
I have read this quote from Tzu before and I love it! Thanks for sharing it again. Am currently reading some great Egyptian wisdom from Ptah-Hotep - fascinating minds these people! I can only imagine how awful it must have been having dreams about such things as 9/11 and Tsunami's. I agree that if there is nothing you can do about it then you should ask for it to be tuned out.
Funny you should mention Tarot. It has always been a taboo subject, all this sort of thing really, so I have been wary of it. Recently curiosity got the better of me and I started doing a bit of searching - my goodness! I actually cannot look at it everyday now because it`s all too overwhelming sometimes. Like an information overload! But the threads have certainly led to a very strong and distinct path to be followed. I wonder how something which is good can be made out to be so bad - it must be in the fear of the unknown I reckon.
I hope the storms have settled down your way. We seem to have got off pretty lightly considering all the damage around neighbouring parts. I`m quite a bit further up than you so we just got the back end of the storm before it blew out to sea - although the lightning was terrible! I had to drive out to Mooloolah today and the veil of clouds settling over the mountains was GORGEOUS!
Thanks once again, your posts and comments are greatly appreciated. Noticed the new info in this post... some more interesting reading!

It certainly fits the pattern represented by hallways, doesn't it ...I hope the scaryhallways dissapeared from the dreamscene - or became more pleasant - soon after your brother moved on from your everyday life?
Once you can read the symbology of dreams fairly accuarately, I am always amazed by how we all deal with certain issues, through a collective set of icons, each it's own balm for specific emotional responses?
As a race, we are amazing.
Sweet dreams.

Hi Lilla,
actually soem of the dream involved a scene from Sinbad the Sailor, which I saw at teh drive in with my family and scared the bejeezes out of me!
And, as for my bros, well no, but, it recurred until about twelve, which is when I left that State and so moved to a different world and school.
The Dream
Along the corridoor, there were huge towering stained glass windows (multi-coloured like a church window) along one side, on my left, ( it was like I was in a stone castle, huge blocks of grey stone walls, ceiling too high to see). At the end of the corridoor, there was a raised square platform, only a step high, brown wooden boards, and a huge knotted rope (many feet wide) hanging down from a huge circular tower above (that is the part from Sinbad the movie), and then I saw a youth, maybe he was in his teens, don't know, but he was tall and slim and dressed in something that was close fitting and red and black in colour, and there was a huge ring threaded through the knotted end of the rope, hanging down from the knot's end, and he warned me not to pull on the rope, because the Devil would come, so then I did yank it quickly once and the whole place started rumbling and shaking and I ran away, down the other corridoor, (so the 'castle', in architectural plan, was like a big U shape, the stage and rope at one end, a centre wall diving the two corridoors leading up to the stage) and as I ran down the other corridoor, away from the stage, again there were huge stained glass windows, exactly like the other side, and as I passed each window it was smashed open by a giant, (they looked a bit like kings I guess), by the giants leaning through the windows but with their arms at their sides so it was just the head and upper torso), so I ran, and they kept crashing through as I passed each one, then at the end of the coridoor, I woke up!
GOD!! It all came 'crashing back' as I wrote it down then!!!!
anyhoo...that's it!
fog
P.S. The school I left, when I moved interstate, was run by Dominican monks, who dressed in long white robes with hoods and wore black capes in winter, and they were VERY tough on discipline...I hated that school, always felt under threat, as you were warned every day you would be flogged by the cane, and often were!

Please forgive me, I have not been ignoring you... I am not always getting notifications??? One of the great orble mysteries that no amount of dreaming seems to be able to sort out!
I am really pushed for time this week, but would be delighted to analyse this dream for you as it has so many rich symbols that may still be able to help unlock some things for you - even today.
I will return soon, I promise.

Finally a moment to interpret this for you. Again, my apologies for the delay.
Links Provided in red.
Let me see : Corridors we know and the symbology suggest a fear of passing either a sexual milestone, or just passing through one stage of life to another; often triggered by rites of passage times like sexual puberty ...
So to the windows : which represent our appreciation of the world in which we live, and the way we perceive reality. Looking out through them suggests that we have a more extroverted view of ourselves and the tendency to look for external circumstances. Because of their relation to churches, seeing stained glass windows are commonly accepted as being representations of our religious belief.
See Colours for individual meaning and possible ways those meanings were being challenged at the time.
See Castlefor relevance there, suffice to say that to be in one, is to signify again that we are dealing with being open to the world and balancing feminine and masculine principles in some way.
Walls are about the boundaries we have set for ourselves as well as those of our sacred space. They are either a defence mechanism or a support structure? Your description doesn’t really allow for specification here, except that your religious involvement would have naturally been testing those boundaries – perhaps pushing on them?
The raised platform at the end is a rare symbol and coming as it does at the end of a corridor, fits nicely as the way forward, but more interestingly of triumph in you having a need to show the real you in front of others by travelling up the corridor.
Crossing any threshold in a dream speaks of new experiences and testing times, I guess your education at that time was totally relevant to this, considering the monks and their teachings.
Funnily enough Fog, platforms can also whisper of artistic ability and a possible future position waiting for you, in the arts?
Again look at colours for specifics on grey and how that relates to your boundaries at the time.
Images of Towers are about personality and the Soul within. To actually be inside a tower without a door, means we are losing touch with ourselves right now, no windows and we cannot see or appreciate our external good points or our inner ones. An intense initiation is indicated here and the fact that you are kind of trapped there – with no means of exit – suggests that you are feeling trapped by outside circumstances.
But you plough on with your inner strength and decide to take the challenge of pulling on the bell rope, despite the (obviously ridiculous?) advice. *chuckle*
Okay let's back up to the youth ... who appears there on the platform with you.
Strangers in (non-lucid) dreams are always projections of ourselves, usually the parts we are trying to integrate, in this case some young (dark) part of you, with terrible stories of the Devil (who in dreams represents temptation itself)… indeed daring you to prove him wrong?
Again seek out red and black for more clues here on the personality qualities you were specifically challenged about.
A rope can represent Strength and power, but also security and freedom … and as the only means of escape available to you, it seemed to offer you a way to choose which?
This rope being fashioned with a ring (suggesting an element of cruelty here) … and instead of climbing it, you are tempted to disobey and take up the choice (you feel was) cruelly laid before you ~ to find out for yourself whether the ‘Devil’ would appear or not ~ when he already had *chuckle* and that covers the warning of seeing a rope in your dreams too, because it can also mean strength and power that can turn against you.
I believe that this was truly a dream of initiation and a spiritual trial. I’m not sure you passed it this time Fog, what d’ya reckon’? I wonder what would have happened next if you hadn’t yanked the rope… perhaps that’s why you always remember this dream?
Anyway, you did and to be amongst the ruins of a building is a sign that we must pull things together by learning how we are allowing ourselves to be vulnerable. They say that if we have deliberately ruined something we need to clarify a self-destructive element in us. Sometimes by looking at the symbolism of what has ruined an object, or an occasion, will give us insight into our own process.
Sometimes we possess an element of destructiveness in order to rebuild something new.
Running away is said to signify fear and the inability to do something, which fits in here, however, spiritually, running is often the very symbol which also appears in dreams to signify that we are trying to do something too quickly...
The religious doctrine of that time may have been pushing you too fast to give up the physical side of life, as yet not fully explored?
The Fear Giants smashing your external views of yourself, crashing into your inner world... fears of failure chasing you along… as well as giants representing repressed feeling of adults we had when we are children…
Look up Upper body and Arms in Body Parts
Giants also herald primordial power rather than celestial wisdom and smashing, breaking, shattering windows represent first sexual experiences, so this may well have been the dilemma between living a spiritual life and the physical one at the time.
Sounds like you had lots of pressure on you and needed to clear some anger there, and live life a little first?
Remembering all this now, possibly marks the time for you to re-take this (spiritual) challenge and see where it leads you this time, now that you are mature, experienced life and those giants, not quite so scary.
How exciting (let me know how you go )...

I was in a building, at which after waking up my inner navigator suggested i was in Glebe (never lived there).
There was alot of walking up and down passages, on the rooftop there was an open air cinema and a book I have - 'Major Film Theories', and it was looking pretty ragged, maybe more so well used.
This book, although I haven't touched it in a few months, is right in front of me and still looking fresh as ever.
There seemed to be a party in an apartment in which the open door to it I was walking in and out of, and I was wondering how to get home. i walked out onto Castlereagh St as I began waking up, at which point my dream state thought "Oh so east is to the left" while the waking state was like "wtf there's no castlereagh st around here..."
Said street is in the heart of the Sydney CBD. It really was an experience to wake up in the same bed but have my navigational sense on the other side of town.
Come to think of it, its about that time of year where I have an interesting dream which stays on my mind for a fair while. Can you figure anything here?

This is an interesting dream and for starters I think it’s time you read that book on Major Film Theories!... here's why....
Looking at building-dreams as indicators of the body, mind and soul; from the information you have given, first up all the hallways you pass through, are trying to show you various points in time, probably each time you thought about this book or your 'studies of it.’
(Note:’ studies’ in this instance - I do not necessarily mean a formal institution or course, many of us read and study all our lives without realising that we are doing so… perhaps that is what formal learning institutions actually teach us… how to research, learn and collate the information).
The book is shabby in the dream, which suggests it is old and has been read often, and perhaps the way you should also be looking at that book of yours in real life… well read, a couple times, by you.
Opto, everything in our waking life is to re-initiate us to re-member(ship) of who we are and our reason ... to test us to the ‘next level...’ Furthermore, some suggest it is all of our choosing, but that’s another topic altogether. Here, what this scene is saying, is that there is something in this book that will act as a trigger, which you need to access and re-member - something that can help you achieve the next level… but am I right in saying, life and paying bills, making a buck, living the great paradigm has tied up too much time and taken you away from something you needed to do to add value to the next level you are trying to create?
Any book appearing in a dream is about our ability to learn from other people’s experiences… and old books particularly, represent inherent wisdom and spiritual awareness already within you, that you can rely on… but it is through reading other’s books in the waking world, that we can bring that out of ourselves.
You then have to stop and ask yourself what significance Castlereagh St has to you. You must have walked it a few times (I know I did during my 13 years in Sydney). An example from my memories, and what has predominantly stuck in my mind over 25 years since then, is the bloomin’ scaffolding during a big remodelling phase in the early 1980’s. (So I would look to 'scaffolding' as my life purpose 'theme,' not surprisingly for me, it;s about 'support, too...' You'll see what I mean by this later on...)
Perhaps a thought or epiphany which first came to you through something seen in Castlereagh street, or from someone you knew who worked there; a company name or night club there; restaurant or just plain scaffolding… *Laughs* Nyehoo, you get my drift here?
To see a book in your dreamscape has esoteric meaning to add to the above, in that it helps you access the Akashic records of your own personal myth. It pratically guarantees the acquisition of wisdom and knowledge if you are willing to put in the effort to open your mind and learn more. … … … … you see, not easily visible in the waking world, but the reason you have the book in the waking world in the first place. It is a piece of the jigsaw of your personal purpose and an aid in reaching a specific goal (sometimes totally unrelated to the books title, content or direction).
Have you ever noticed when you achieve some sort of award-ed goal (like academic certification), there is this flat spot afterwards? Like : “what did I do that for?”
To dream of ‘it’ being East and Left offer great clues towards ‘it’ - the hidden purpose. East traditionally suggests birth and mystic religions. It also represents becoming ‘conscious.’
The Left suggests the less dominant, more passive side. It is often taken to represent the dark sinister and perverse parts of ourselves, the parts we often try to repress, but which in reality we must become conscious of, own and control in order to become whole. It is more to do with instinctive behaviour, what feels good inside … personal behaviour without attention to moral codes. Some say it is supportive in expression, and receptive by nature, so anything appearing in dreams on the left side can be interpreted in terms of ‘support.’
To me it suggests that your shadow nature holds some clues for you achieving your goal here, if you allow it out into the light and integrate it into your overall personality.
To dream of attending a party means you are being alerted to your social skills – or lack of them. We often have a need of celebration in our lives – after hard work or travail … and passing in and out of doors in Freudian terms is about our feelings of our sexuality (of course). However, more spiritually, doors can also represent a passage from one phase of life to another, often marking a new beginning.
Is it time to party less and knuckle down to some hard work and self discipline, to earn a proper celebration with oneself as the guest of honour?
Although rare, there is a condition within sleep where we can become aware that we can either wake up, or actually start waking up.. this happens partly as a way of forcing us into taking note of a particular action or circumstance, and partly to enable us to use the therapeutic tool of being able to wake up and make an adjustment to a dream which might have a happier ending.
Again for you the significance lies in Castlereagh Street. Either you have a strong (albeit forgotten) memory from there in which you briefly connected with your life purpose, or you will find your pathway leading there in the future. But this symbol is very important. If it were me, I would catch the bus downtown and walk the length of the street (both sides) to see if I could ‘unlock’ whatever it was that I needed to re-member.
Did you have a goal that you have let slip by the wayside?
Spiritually, waking in our dreams signifies becoming aware. The dream states alert us to various ideas and concepts we should be looking at, although it may take us a little time to ‘wake up’ to them.
From Glebe to Castlereagh can be an interesting comparison too. One bustling and busy and fully engaged in life (Castlereagh), the other more laid back, beatnik, trendy … perhaps shallow? By your initial description, certainly somewhere you don’t feel comfortable being... does it reflect some of your shadow traits prhaps?
The timing of the dream is important and I’m guessing that once you find the thought from Castlereagh street, BINGO, you’ll know why it re-dresses itself and re-occurs each year at the same time.
Sometimes initial set backs and discouragements can make us put very special projects on the back burner. You know the old adage: it is persistence that creates success, nothing else. One per cent inspiration, 99 per cent perspiration. Life tests us hard sometimes.
Some deep reflection and ACTION (like picking up the book and reading it cover to cover) required here Opto, the worst that can happen is that you'll find your personal myth again.
I hope this helps shine light into the darkness.
Much warmth.

It seems obvious here that the dream is bringing about the old idea that I should take charge of the screenplays I write. I still consider a director's job as someone else's job.
For this year, I have a couple more video clips to put together from about 30min of film that I have...
The East and left is definitely something that I could get a bit more of a grasp of. Consciousness and the support it provides? 'It' in the dream meant home... so a spiritual birth or awakening coming into my consciousness will provide support... ah I getcha.
Yes, Lilla!! Change is imminent.
I'll have to have a think about Castlereagh St, and thanks for your help!
owing you one,
