Need Interpretation: Quest

[A.Poetic.Verse]

i've been having dreams, significant ones, since i've been a child. these always foreshadow my waking life. if i dream, it means change in my life. I often am in search of something. Last night i had a dream and wanted to share it. these are the notes i took after waking up:

school setting, others are sitting around me, we are all reading the same book. i know the story. we start a project. I draw a snake on huge scraps of torn paper with a guy. i know the guy in the dream, but he is noone i know in my waking life. i argue with the guy on how to draw the snake. didn't have enough room for the snakes nose so i rip more paper and finish it with a cartoon nose (dr. suess like snake, cute to me). i argue with a person who felt like a teacher about the finished drawing.

then i break away to a dark cave, it's filling with a handful of dark deformed people. One shoots me. i don't bleed, but am injured. when i hit the floor, i turn into these figures and they begin to break my body. one snaps my forefinger, then a piece of my face. the people themselves were breaking parts off others. feel panic (i half wake up)

(back asleep) i break to a place that feels like a cemetery. i'm searching for gold and silver pressed coins and smooth green (jade in color) stones. i pick them up. i'm calm. i find a blade or hand knife. its brown or brass. the sharp side is like a saw, it comes out in two seperate blades on its own from the wood handle as i hold it. it chages it's shape, making different blades, goin in and out of the wooden handle.

then i break to an auditorium, its made of stone, theres people seated, i sit next to a guy (i knew him in highschool), we are watching the same story as the book i was reading before. i know the story so i half pay attention. suddenly i'm walking down the steap stones to the water that seperates the stone stage from our stone seating. the water is black, relatively calm, i swim across and when i get to other side, i'm met by a female ghost/angel (not sure which one), she's glows white. i notice the water is pouring in from a statue, but it is also being drained from below.

i break to a hall, i see the same female at a post or statue, she caresses it, and i ask her "why do you behave promiscuous". She does not answer, but leads me through the hall till we are outside of the building. It looks like a castle or church. when i look up the sky is filled with blue, pink, and white. the build starts to come alive. the foundation is uplifted as if it were legs. it rises further into the sky till it is all i see from my perspective. i start toward the building as pieces of it fall all around me. panic (i half wake up)

(back asleep) i'm in a bedroom, with a huge fire place. the female is there again. horrific images flash through my mind. demons. i'm looking for a way out of the dream. looking for the book. looking for the coins and green smooth stones. the ghosts hands me a gold stone. has two images on it. on one side it has a black impressed circle within another circle within another circle within another circle. on the other side, is a diagram, it's a right triangle, white flames at the top, dirt at the bottom, and I feel the need to get somewhere between these two places. (i finally wake up)

throughout the dream, it's like the darkness is lit by flames off in the distance when i'm in the hall and bedroom (orange and black). the auditorium seating and stage are bright white, but the surrounding air and water is black, dark blues, the cemetery has the same feel, like lit by the moon. the guys i meet and people in the auditorium are in real color. cave and people are filled with darkness.

my overall feeling is calm, moments of panic, confusion, confrontational, always searching for an opening, hope, a way out.
