Exposion

I was driving around, getting ready for a rock climbing trip with someone. It took us a bit to find the place, but we did. It was getting dark , so I wasn't convinced we were going to have time to climb. We were gathering our gear together and noticed there were others climbing everywhere. We ended up inside some sort of shelter and while my parter was getting her gear out, I started climbing a pole (weird, since we don't climb in a shelter outdoors). It didn't seem very solid in there and most of the climbs were unclimbable.

We did something to determine which climb to climb. I think we rolled dice or something, and ended up on #11. The anchors she had to set up were terrible. They didn't look safe at all. Then I noticed her rope wasn't very good either. She said it was 6 years old and I could tell the centers were worn out. I tried to tell her it was important to replace her rope every couple of years. Someone asked me who she was, and I told them she was my sister-in-law (who, in reality has never climbed in her life).

It started raining.

Suddenly, there was an explosion. It looked like it was outside, on a street.

I hesitated, not wanting to get involved, but realized I should and that others were avoiding it as well, so I went over and tried to attend to the victims. I was helping a woman with an injury on her right foot.

AT one point, some of the pipes on the ceiling began to come down, but they stopped. I knew I needed to take some leadership, so I yelled for people to run over and help get everyone out from under the pipes, and to hurry!. Then I felt bad for having been so firm with people, but I was also pleasantly surprised at myself. I looked around and realized I was inside a gym.

I woke up at 5 am, and had a hard time sleeping after that.

Is there something in real life that you feel needs replacing? any thing at all? Especially things from yesterday that were on your mind. How about others pressurizing you to replace something?

------------------------
What exactly is a dream? A dream often captures some new thought or feeling or fantasy. Often deeply embedded in it is some idea or thought. Try to bear that in mind when understanding a dream. A dream will symbolise some conceptual thought such as "I think my grandmother is still angry with me after what I said" . Many dreams revolve us making such judgements based upon our intuitions.

How exactly do you go about understanding the meaning of a dream symbol? Well first you start to make associations with that symbol. Take for instance if you had a dream about Tony Blair the Prime Minister of the UK. You can associate many things with him. First of all he is a decision maker. The dream then could capture you wanting to take some serious decision within your own life. But equally Tony Blair is a man who began his political life a hero who was universally popular. Now he is disliked by almost everyone in the country. Maybe the dream captures some similar situation for yourself eg "When I first started my job everyone liked me. I could do nothing wrong. But recently I have become universally unpopular". But we could also see Tony Blair in another sense. He is the ally of President Bush and is often accused of doing everything he says and because of this has been accused of being a poodle. So maybe the dream captures some theme with a similar "yes man" theme. But Tony Blair could also have different meanings. He has virtually said that he will resign in the spring and there was much speculation about this and about how he should go about resigning. Maybe the dream captures a similar theme in your own life eg "I am thinking of leaving my job. But if I tell my boss it may cause trouble for me. I might just leave it as long as possible".

Therefor its possible to list many different symbolic meanings. Any one of these could be correct. The first association that comes to mind is not always the correct one. Its a matter of trying out different theories and then seeing if they fit the situation or feelings within your life. If one seems to work then try working in the other dream symbols.

Hi Liloleh,

I woke up at 5 am, and had a hard time sleeping after that.

When you wake up too early in the morning, there is usually some physical cause. Your dream is hinting to you that you're over using your legs. My guess is that you had a cramp or some other pain in your legs. The suggestion of of climbing and I was helping a woman with an injury on her right foot. In dicates that you indeed had some pain in your right foot.

Suddenly, there was an explosion. It looked like it was outside, on a street.

This suggests that the pain came on very quicly - it was probably a cramp that set your alarmclock at 5 AM!
Cheers Wolfjk

Hm. I actually didn't have any pain in my right foot, but I've been struggling with achilles issues in my left leg.

I couldn't sleep because I felt responsible for helping the injured people. In mid-life, I'm back to school as a college student, and have been thinking about careers. I've just gotten a personal trainer certification, and needed a First Aid/CPR Cert as well (hence feeling responsible for helping). Some of my classes have gotten me thinking about a career in the health care industry, but I'm not sure I have the stomach for injuries, soooo... this dream got me thinking on that again and wondering if, an actuality, it would be a good move.

Also... someone reminded me today that this is the anniversary of the 9/11 issue, but that honestly was not on my mind, so not sure that's a link.

Bobby mentioned if something in my life needs replacing? I don't know. I've been wondering if I should continue in my sport because I'm still dealing with seeing a man that's caused me some heartbreak there (at the climbing gym). Also, I'm getting pressure to find a boyfriend (both from inside me and from the outside) but I just don't know if I can stomach going through that anymore. Also... again, I'm trying to change careers.

Could these be related?

I am baffled on this one.
