colorful cockroaches / grocery stores

[amarie]

Okay; I had the strangest dream last night..

Well; I had just moved into a new "house.." I remember it being dingy, dumpy, dark, dirty.. You know, really trashy. Maybe half a double. It was reaaaaally run-down. And covered in cockroaches. Normally; I'm terrified of cockroaches, but I wasn't in my dream. They were just there, and I was kind of bugged by them, but it wasn't my typical reaction. You know, I wished they weren't there, but it wasn't a HUGE deal.

I also made several trips to the grocery store, in which I wondered around trying to buy the cheapest foods I could find; hoping for cheap buy one get one deals on food. The grocery store was ALSO covered in cockroaches, but no one seemed to notice.

Lets talk a little bit about these cockroaches. They didn't look like normal roaches, but thats what I understood them to be in my dream. Most were big, and really detailed.. and didn't look like the typical roaches you see normally. This is the strangest part. Maybe one out of every ten cockroaches was huge, and brightly colored. Bright oranges, greens, blues.. some of them even looked like they had glittery or rhinestone covered skeletons. One I remember in particular was about three inches long and green and orange and extremely bright. I followed this one around the grocery store for a minute.

Then I was back in my dumpy apartment/house/thing.. and I don't know if I wanted to clean it up for people to come over (which is kind of what I vaguely remember) or if I was just starting to get overly annoyed with their presence, or what, but I went back to the grocery store to get roach spray.

I walked in and went to the insecticide. I picked up a red can of bug spray, but there were SO many roaches around that I started spraying the bottoms of racks and the perimeter of the grocery store and spraying the bugs themselves, but it was hard to get the can to spray. It didn't come out really well, just a very faint mist, and you couldn't even soak the bugs with it, like I wanted to. I was going to pay for the can, but decided to kill some bugs first.. Then I went back to get another can before I left, and realized that they were buy two for $1.55. How weird, right? So i got another. And then I woke up.

I remember I kept thinking that you just had to spray the baseboards around the outside walls of the store/and my home to get rid of the bugs, and wondered if it would really work, or if i should buy the little traps too.

i think i may be going crazy.

Hi,
The reason we remember some dreams is because something unusual happens in the sleep.

I remember it being dingy, dumpy, dark, dirty.. You know, really trashy. Maybe half a double. It was reaaaaally run-down. And covered in cockroaches. Normally; I'm terrified of cockroaches, but I wasn't in my dream. They were just there, and I was kind of bugged by them, but it wasn't my typical reaction. You know, I wished they weren't there, but it wasn't a HUGE deal.

My guess is that the above quote describes how you felt in your sleep. you probably felt sickly and nauseous. There was the chance that you were likely to vomit.
The colours in the dream and the coloured roaches are there to grab your attention. The cockroaches are also the hidden threats that would have woke you up straightaway if really had to vomit.
Swarming insects are used by the subconscious to show the sleeper how she feels. If you ever been drunk you will know the feeling of going round just before you throw up, or going to bed and the bed starts spinning round!
You may think: "if I came to bed a minute later I would have missed the bed!"
So the reason for your dream was that you were feeling sick in the sleep.
Cheers Wolfjk

Roaches means weak people.If killed the roaches means he will overcome the enemy.
Spraying a poison to the roaches means you will lend money to the weak people perhaps you work for a bank or something like that and you mortgage to them.
It may take around two months to happen.

Well if we translate dreams into real live thoughts then we should be able to recognize their meanings. They would probably be key insights into some new situation. For instance this dream features a new house. Yet its dingy. Often houses represent the self. So this dream is probably about some situation in your life and how you are managing as a person. Its dingy probably showing that you feel cramped emotionally and pyschologically. You are not expressing your personality as much as you used to. You are bugged by problems. Whats this one in ten mean? Who knows - only you can make this connection. What figure comes to mihnd when you say one in ten(ten percent). Does it represent some figure from the day before? Some statistic that stuck in your head.

------------------------
Many people write dream diaries. But actually it would be better if they wrote a normal diary. A diary is basically the highlights of the previous day and the things that are important to you. Dreams are exactly the same. Once understood they would symbolize those key moments and turning points in your feelings. So instead of interpreting the dreams try first to guess what the most likely issues are that you would dream about. Think of exactly the same things that you would write in a diary. Once decoded the dreams would symbolize exactly what you think on the key subjects dominating your mind. Think of quotes that capture your feelings such as "my father seems very quiet. I think that something is very wrong. He often starts going quiet when something happens". You may not be able to understand the exact nature of the symbols.
