A dream I had yesterday will not get out of my head:
I don't know how I did it but I accidentaly unleashed a fully grown T-rex on a sleepy English village. . . oops. The T-rex rampaged around eating people & it was my responsibility to catch it, I tried a train WTF!!! I tried a forklift & I tried all sorts of other vehicles including a bus.
I spent most of my time hiding in buildings & warehouses full of my male toys until it came crashing through windows & walls to get me.
I don't know how I captured it in the end, one minute it was chasing me in a bus (I was in the bus not the T-rex, that would be silly) & the next minute it was safely captured, in spite of all the damage & death everyone was happy with me.
I've tried deciphering this dream with my dream dictionary but there's a great deal that doesn't make sense.
the key points in the dream are:
BUS: a bus journey is the part of our lives where we are aware of the need to be on the move, but particularly with other people
(this matches with my feelings that I need to be starting HRT & also my feelings that i'm isolated, as good as my friends are they all struggle to understand my need to transition)
TRAIN: A train as a method of public transport & reflects the dreamers attitude towards social behaviour & relationships.
(I want to be in a relationshp but if someone wanted to be with me now they may not want to be with me after transition so this may be reflecting my fears/insecurities)
WAREHOUSE: this has the symbolism of being the repository for spiritual energy or spiritual rubbish.
(considering most of the warehouses were full of my male toys that i'm currently selling I believe this represents spiritual rubbish)
I feel the dominant part of the dream was the T-rex & have several entries that could apply
PREHISTORIC ANIMALS: represent a trauma from the past/childhood
(no further explanatin needed, lol)
DINOSAURS: These are very basic, primal images, they are large & powerfull, we need to be aware of whether it's their size or power that scares us. Urges as basic as this can threaten our existence by either their size or power.
HARNESSING THE ANIMAL: Shows the effort to control the dreamers instincts & if possible to make them productive & usefull.
HIDING FROM THE ANMAL: This is indicative of the dreamers struggle with animal instincts. The dreamer may be fearful of these instincts & concious of the fact that they have the power to go out of control & overwhelm the dreamers waking life.
I've left out certain personal parts of the dream but my rough interpretation is that my fears about transitioning are threatening to overwhelm me, I'm battling in an attempt to discard my baggage whilst trying to move forward.
My need for company whilst fighting my primal fears are getting in the way of progress as the attempts to use a bus & train to stop the T-rex failed.
Because the T-rex (my primal fears) were bested eventualy my subconcious is pushing me to make this a productive time of my life but I feel the dream is a warning that I must not let this get on top of me.
