Dream about black dinosaurs

[txemaguerra]

Yesterday I had this dream !

I'm with part of my family in my car, my little brother (11 yrs old), my younger brother (22 yrs old) and my mom.

My younger brother is driving and he thinks he's "Fast and Furious". I didn't notice that the pavement is wet until, when taking a left turn using the hand brake, the car starts spinning wildly ! I get very upset and tell him : "you see !! you see what can happen when you drive at that speed !!"

Nothing happened to us or the car, so we continue on our trip but he does the same thing again, only this time we hit a couple of cars parked on the sidewalk.

I feel a hit on my right arm, but still nothing serious happens to us. We all get down the car and I'm as upset as afraid and start yelling at him again very loud. A police car is nearby and arrives to check if we're ok. My mom is facing me, my little brother is standing in front of me and I'm holding him with both my arms. My younger brother is in my left and he's being checked by the medics.

Suddenly a big black dragonlike figure appears in front of me, he's moving weirdly and I notice he's kind of eating something in the air, I know nobody can see it because everything is happening as described. This "dragon" comes closer, continues eating and suddenly another huge black diplodocus like figure appears and is doing the same thing as the black dragon, but this black "diplo" dino is actually eating something from inside of us ! Still nobody can see them and we're not bleeding or anything like that but I see the black diplodocus eating something out of me at the height of my solar plexus !!

Nobody can see them, I'm not afraid or anything but I'm thinking to myself WHAT !?!?!

Suddenly a 3rd dinosaur appears and tells the black diplo : "He's watching you, he can see you" and the black diplo responds : "What do you mean he can see me? That's too bad !!"

When I woke up I was a little bent upwards.

Hi txemaguerra,

Just a few thoughts about your dream, fwiw:

I think it’s significant that you are not driving the car, as the car often symbolizes our own journey in life. So either someone else is, (your brother) or it is a symbol of some aspect of yourself , a younger (fast and furious) part, is running the show so to speak. Car accident can be a warning to slow down and pay attention. And the police generally represents authority watching, so perhaps again a warning to self to pay attention.

Now onto the dragons. From _http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary/d.htm

To see a dragon in your dream, signifies that you tend to let yourself get carried away by your passion. This kind of behavior may lead you into trouble. You need to exercise some self-control.

This kinda ties in again with the fast and furious driving of the car.

And the dragon is eating something out of your solar plexis, so some kind of draining of energy going on here.

Overall, there appears to be some general themes involving warnings about going too fast and not being in control of oneself, leading to accidents and draining of energy.

As always, dreams and the interpretation of them are unique to each person, so the above may or may not apply.

Thank you manitoban !

Actually, I think it has a lot to do with what happened to me last weekend.
I've been feeling lots of "good energy" (so to say) for a few months now. This weekend I felt specially energized, and went out a lot, saw a lot of people, said a lot of things & did a lot of things too. Maybe some of these actions were not that good at all.

I consulted the I-Ching oracle yesterday, I don't know if you're familiar with it, but I got hexagram Ta Chuang / The Power of the Great. No line changes. From Richard Wilhelm translation/interpretation:

THE JUDGMENT

THE POWER OF THE GREAT. Perseverance furthers.

The hexagram points to a time when inner worth mounts with great force
and comes to power. But its strength has already passed beyond the median
line, hence there is danger that one may rely entirely on one's own power
and forget to ask what is right. There is danger too that, being intent on
movement, we may not wait for the right time. Therefore the added
statement that perseverance furthers. For that is truly great power which does
not degenerate into mere force but remains inwardly united with the
fundamental principles of right and of justice. When we understand this
point--namely, that greatness and justice must be indissolubly united--we
understand the true meaning of all that happens in heaven and on earth.

I think that it's got a lot to do with your interpretation of my dream. Energy is coming strong, but I'm not taking the best choices around.

I'm still reading the Wave series so I might be misusing concepts. Sorry for that !

One more thing... The dialog at the end... do you think is relevant of something ?

Thank you very much !!

Hi txemaguerra,

The I Ching reading was interesting, same type of themes as the dream.

One more thing... The dialog at the end... do you think is relevant of something ?

Suddenly a 3rd dinosaur appears and tells the black diplo : "He's watching you, he can see you" and the black diplo responds : "What do you mean he can see me? That's too bad !!"

Well, one possibility is that the dinosaurs represent the predator, the false personality part of ourselves that is draining energy. So maybe the dialogue is about the fact that you can SEE this, and can do something about it.
