I am with an unknown woman who is driving the car. We leave from a place that has a painting by an artist. It is abstract and there is a lot of pink in the painting. We drive to the St. Louis Park High school where II have seen another painting by the artist. It is also abstract and the main color is green. I like the “green” painting more than the “pink” one and am going to ask this male teacher is we can exchange them. I see him walking outside and I talk to him about the trade. He is distracted and talks about something else. I finally get him to listen. We walk to where I have seen the painting on a wall outside. Now there are all these newly constructed buildings like dorms, etc.

Then there is an accident and people are hurt. A girl is lying on the ground and wants some comfort. I go over to her and put my hand on her stomach. Another person is there and is comforting her also. She is ok. I notice another injured person laying on the ground nearby. I am distracted. I think I may have gotten the wrong high school. However, I am optimistic that the exchange of paintings will work out.

I am with a group of people. (5 or 6 of us) Two of them are male, colleged aged students. The male leader is BAD. I am with a person who is good like me. We are in a small house. We have to get rid of evidence. So, the leader starts the house on fire. The two college students are down the basement sleeping. I was downstairs with them earlier.

The rest of us are now outside. It is night time. I aam frantic, thinking of ways to rescue the two students. Should I break the windows? Can I go back into the dream when I was in the basement and make sure the windows are unlocked? (I am somewhat lucid). The leader doesn’t care about them. I wake up in the middle of the night with this dream. It is a nightmare.

I worked this dream with Denise. Here are my notes: I am with others. We are all males. (masculine energy) There is a bad guy, a good guy, some neutrals and two, young men who are just learning about the world. Are these all parts of my masculine energy? There is some “evidence” that has to be destroyed. What did we do wrong and will have to pay for doing? In the basement are two college students who are asleep. Is there something in my unconscious that needs to awaken? The Bad guy starts a fire. Fire is a transformational element. I freak out, worried about the two students in the basement. How can I save them? What does this mean in my life? Am I trying to save an innnocent part of myself? It is a part that is in the process of higher learning. There is a shadow side that doesn’t want this, it seems.

Laura is going to Antartica for a mission trip. She is going with a group of people. The people and their trunks of belongings are all on a Semi truck. It starts to leave. Laura runs down the street to stop it. She does not have her things or herself on the Semi.

I go and get her clothes. They are in a pile at the bottom of a closet. I wash the clothes by hand. I wash a pair of pants and throw them out the second story window onto the ground. I wash the rest of the clothes but do not throw them out the window. There are two pairs of athletic, white socks like Paul wears. I wonder if they are Laura’s. I wash them as well. Laura comes. I tell her I washed her clothes and that the pair of pants are on the ground outside. She is grateful.

I worked this dream with my sister. Here is my interpretation. The dream ego is helping Laura. Laura is a person who asks for one “good” conversation a day. (true connection). I identify with this. She is going to Antartica for a mission trip. Antartica is cold, just scientists work there. She has a mission/a goal. I am working on becoming more “warm”/compassionate. (I have not been very warm towards Paul). I am late. Part of me is helping by washing the clothes. They are in a closet. I take them out of the closet. This may refer to me being willing to show my authentic self. Clothes can represent protection as well as individuality. I wash a pair of pants and throw them out the window. I think about the phrase, “Who wears the pants?” Does this have to do with my control issues? I am on the 2nd floor-at a higher level-wiser? The white, men’s socks=white can represent spiritual. Maybe they represent a healthier masculinity. I wash the clothes as a way of purifying myself, becoming more clear on what is important for me to bring into the world. I am grateful.
