Stonehenge in fire

[Iron]

I had a most curious dream yesterday:

I dreamt that I joined the army, to earn some extra cash, the cash even being low did not prevent me from joining.
A friend, with whom I am distanced now due to his personalitty and insane girlfriend and who was of the army in the past, is explaining to me the workings of the army.
Pretty soon I am punished, and with the company of another friend, I'm forced to follow a path consisting of land and little pools of water, a dry and moist path if you prefer. We had to follow this path with a device consisting of weights on our backs and we had to jump at every three steps, while being mocked by the entire army.

I follow the entire path; my friend tires along the way.
In the end of the path, there was a staircase, that I climb. In the sides of the staircase, more army people mocking me, but I go on and on, until one small army man gets under my skin by punching me. I punch him, and take him by the arm, saying that we will go to our supervisor, because he cant behave like that. He keeps saying that he can do that, because of his rank, and that Im gonna be in trouble.

Arriving at the supervisor, the guy says that he is of the sixth degree, and Im trouble and goes away. The supervisor and I talk and I urge him to use his logic and compassion. The guy says that its ok, but if he can recommend a psychiatrist to see me to make sure my aggression is normal. I agree.

In a room that is like a mix of a classroom with a bar with pool tables and a tv and people watching the tv, isolated of the outside world by white bars I was waiting seated by the psychiatrist.
A feminine voice, came from behind me, trying to hipnotize me. She said that I had to surrender my consciousness. I said Never!

At some point I passed out, and wake in a city of sorts, full of debris and twisted metal... as I walk I realize I am walking on my brain, and that some white stuff on the ground represent the white matter.

I keep on walking and see some childhood friends. One of the friends, who happen to be the friend who was explaining to me how the army works, was full of debris, and I was cleaning him. After deciding that he was to dirty to clean, I keep on walking, like Chivas Regal, until I found a square in the middle of the city with a formation similar to stonehenge in in fire!
Seeing this Stonehenge in fire I am takes by pure religious, divine feeling, and fall on my knees, crying and hearing the prayer of the soul.
The bystanders look at me, but I ignore them and stay focused on the prayer and on the stonehenge on fire. After a while the female psychiatrist reappears and say that I passed on my test. That I can go now. A little girl appears and makes jokes at me, saying that I cry too loud, and that they had to move me to another room.

After that I get up, wipe my tears and walk... I meet a famous Brazillian comedian, who was aged in my dream, and escorted by a beautiful woman. I exchange pleasantries with the man, who is tired, but smiling. I say goodbye to him, go towards a busy street and wake up.

Most interested too see what you guys think of this dream. I have some ides, but want to hear yours first, since Im out of time for writing more in this post!

I interpret this dream to represent you having to (as Gurdjieff calls it) endure the displeasing manifestations of others. They are all trying to get under your skin, maybe to act on your self-importance. Maybe the army represents False I's or people in your life?

It's a good thing to that you didn't give into the voice that tried to hypnotize you. Maybe that's why the stonehenge on fire appeared. Burning away parts of the predator, possibly?

Yup, that's what I thought too. I was a little nervous at first, as it seemed that your choice to join the army was some sort of "co-opting" being expressed by your dream. But as it played out you came out of it all like a white-robed Gandalf.

Very moving imagery. You actually heard the Prayer of the Soul, too? I don't often get sounds in my dreams. I'm interested in hearing what you understand this dream to mean.

Thats why I respect more and more the power of networking!

I havent thought of the False I's legion/ or people in my life.

In this respect I think it is perhaps multi-layered. Meaning possibly the army of I's inside, and the day to day manifestations I withness, not only to me but to others as well.

Well I often thought of the dry path/ moist path of alchemy, what it mean or not mean.
At the present moment I think it has to do with emotions; I think that the dream was communicating that to me, that by moving across the path of emotion ( dry land, more stable times; the pools that I had to cross with weight in my back meaning more emotional times; the weight in my back did not seem heavier in land or water, so I think it is something I am carrying with me constantly) and this path landed me on a staircase.

The staircase, I think it is a literal initiatory staircase. I think this because the attacks of the army became more vicious and close as I climbed the staircase. Until I stopped due to yelding to the provocations of a little man with immature/jerk attitude.

Moving on to the stonehenge, I think it was the action of the Divine cosmic mind in me doing... who knows what. :)
I actually heard the prayer, my voice and the voice of Laura. And I wasnt sleeping with the earphones playing with the prayer so outside sounds penetrating the dream can be ruled out.

The little girl, I think it has something to do with my essence. A part of it, that is childish and happy and playfull.

That is what I think now.
Thanks for the posts Hespen and Daniel.

Well keep on keepin' on Iron, sounds like you've made some deep progress. Good for you :) I've also had dreams of children, and mine in particular seem to precede moments in my life where I'm given a choice to take on more responsibility, or face a threat for the good of someone else. FWIW :)
