HI I had a very strange, vivid and emotionally strong dream last night. so im putting it in here to see if anyone ahs any thoughts on it?
I was in someones house and had jsut woken up after a party. There was no-one else in the house now, just me.
Next thing, the police burst in through the door and arrest me and turn the place over. im all confused and scared as I dont know what is happening (i've never been in trouble with the police and have had there help on several occasions).
Anyway, next thing, its night time and im standing at what i guess is a bookign in desk and this guy is taking my details. Im trying to explain to him that Ive no idea whats going on etc but he jsut smiles and says its nothing to do with him. h'es jsut getting my details. Im feeling tired, and worn out at this point.
Then, im taken thru to a room where someone show me a big bag with lots of large blue cubes in it and smaller white ones. He asks me if I know what it is, and I strenuously say no. I absolutely had no idea what it was and im getting really upset by this point as the guy doesnt seem to beleive me. Then he shows me a wee tiny bag with what is obviously "grass". He asks if I know what it is. I say, Im not sure, but it is grass?
Irt gets a bit hazy here, but then i was taken thru to a desk where i was getting some otehr paperwork done and In comes one of my ex boyfriends who I know used to work with the courts. He's looking sneeringly at me. i ask him what happening now and he looks at me and says, "Oh, about 3-5 years". I lose the strength in my knees and my legs start to go . Then I manage to pull myself together. And then who walks in under arrest, but my recent ex! We look at each other for a brief moment and then hes' taken away. And for some reason, seeing him going away leaves me feeling very lost and upset. Im thinking, if i coudl talk to him, he'd maybe know what to do, he'd know who's done this to me.
then Im told to leave and get a solicitor and i go, but im trying to get back in the building to see my ex to talk to him, but its all shut up and people are leaving. I start sobbing really hard and thats when i woke up.
OK, sorry its gone on a bit but it was quite detailed really.
Any thoughts? ive never done drugs and never been in trouble with the police.

Hmm, aside from the obvious scars these past relationships have left on your life, I would check through all personal property, as well as possible stashes in your living space, that might be harbouring something. If you do find something, then comes the question of methods of removal

You might wanna lay off the cheese before bed!
Actually I this is a stress dream and its about not having control of a situation. The fact that no one will listen to you and you actually feel confused and lost and are trying to find help in a familiar face. Quite simply you are not in control, the police are.
If I were going to have a wild stab at it I would guess at work, because of the cubes, your being asked to explain something you havent got a clue about and I cant really see that happening at home. Also and I know this may sound daft, but there may also be a little bit of guilt in there about something. The fact that you are being asked about the boxes that you honestly cant fathom.. and then asked about the grass... in the dream, Im guessing when you said that you thought it was grass you were worried about admitting to knowing what it was?
Actually going back to the whole police thing is the other reason why I would guess at work. You are dealing with an authority figure, one you dont feel you can fight against.
So.. Im going to plum for work problems, but it could be any situation where you are currently at the mercy of an authority figure and are not in control of whats going on.

I kind of answered this on your blog too but will add my two pence here as well
My interpretation of the dream or certain aspects would be all connected with the recent changes that have happened for you. I really think the police thing is a way for your mind to visualise the break from your ex, you mention in your blog that he is saying he will be working Off-Shore and I see the police bit as a representation of the 'going away' aspect of that (being put away out of reach sort of) and the reason you were there and being interrogated again I see as a representation of your 'going away' from your old ties.
You try to get to see your ex to work out what's going on, and why things are happening but he is unreachable.. (off shore) and although you have split up and are living separately, there to me seems to be issues that you may feel are unresolved between you both.
I could be totally wrong here with all that but it's my first thoughts on the above combined with the snippets from your latest blog.

Indeed I see every suggestion made so far as correct, however, just to be on the safe side, make sure you're not schlepping any unknown excess baggage with you, be they circumstancial or material. What you've divulged of experiences during meditation, does seem to carry the odd undertones precognition, in which case it's better to be safe than sorry. Thus once this possibility is removed you can get down to the nitty gritty of personal healing without any unpleasant surprizes that you certainly wouldn't want at this time.

Sounds to me you are worried about something at work, something you've done wrong and are a bit afraid however it could be someone trying to cause havoc for you. My soloution is do a few spells of protection - 1 for yourself, 2 for your home and those who reside with you, 3 at work place protective symbols around you if you can.

Hi, just thought I'd add my two pennies worth...I do alot of dream work and well I have learned to go with the inner voice when they tell me something( no its not kill kill KILL!

)
OK well I will go with alot of what Herneoakshield said, I think that this is a personal issue and not a work related one.
With dreams it is important to go with your gut and your feelings. Many turn to dream interpretation books when trying to decipher a dream but they are VERY individual. In my dreams, if a house appears I know that it represents me. This may be different for you of course.
It is more the feelings behind what you witness in your dreams. I feel that you have alot of issues that you need to deal with. I don't know what kind of relationship you have with the ex's that you mentioned that were in your dream but it may have something to do with "hidden" issues, something that has been bugging you maybe for awhile.
Where you said you were in someone elses house makes me feel that this is an issue that you have with someone else, maybe someone who hasn't been entirely honest with you.
I suggest that you re-read your dream over a few times. Quite often when I feel confused about a dream I do just that and it hits you...WHAM! and you start to understand what its about...but remember, look at the feelings.
Hope it starts to make sense in your head soon!
Blessings

I've jsut taken your advice Avalonia, adn re-read it over a few times.
teh two ex'es were not very nice people really. My recent ex was very abusive and sometimes aggressive with it, but we were together for ten years in total The other ex, i was with only briefly, but he is a friend of my recent ex and i think thats why they're both there. They represent things that Ive been drawn to in the past, but have left behind.
I have thought a lot about it, and i think its a deep seated feeling, that Ive suffered because of the misdeeds of others and that ive been blamed for these things, etc in the sense that, people wondered why I was "putting up" with certain things etc, when the reality was, i had very little control over the situation at the time.
My mind is working over teh prospect of losing control of my life again.
However, im mentally and emotionally in a brighter place at the moment and this dream anbalysis has really helped me work through a few things.
Thanks all for your time!

I'm with Quasi re searching and being on the safe side - just in case!
But...
2 exes, 2 sets of cubes.
2 cube shapes = logical, clear cut shapes, everyone knows what a cube is = you know inside there's more to it than what's on the surface, the shape is just a shape, but it's NOT so clear cut for you (emotionally) hence your confusion at identificatin (i.e. of the root issues here).
The cops = authority, whom you trust, but when we get traumatised, we mistrust cos we get kicked in the teeth. So maybe they represent this other aspect of your confusion? Also we tend to regard police as male rather than female.
Just my thoughts on it.

Treehugger, Im glad that you have found your OWN meaning behind the dream with a bit of guidance from the replies that you got...That is incredibly important as this was your own dream.
It is sooo easy to doubt ourselves in our lives and it looks like that is what you are discovering through your dreams. Your recent ex sounds alot like mine and Im glad that you got yourself out of that situation.
Trust in yourself...believe in yourself and listen to that inner voice, you have control of your life now, find the real YOU!
Blessings

I was wondering about the cubes - I have been recently read carl jung - he suggests that precious gems are archetypes. If my memory serves me correctly they might be the true self (jungs description) and if you have been through a bad time maybe that's why you didn't recognise the cubes but you did recognise the 'addictive' grass(symbol of bad relationship?). (abusive relationships make us 'lose' ourselves, don't you think?). I am wondering whether the police officer is your 'inner male' (animus? I think). Maybe the three to five years is how long you've suffered at the hands of (insert name).
um. that's all I have to say.
love fizzy.

The meaning is quite obvious...It was a TV program, probably "The Bill" but you don't have a TV license and are in denial of this fact...nuff said
