Strange "Alice in Wonderland" type dream

[DreamTime]

Okay, I have decided to post this dream I had last night. I am not asking for any interpretations on it, I just thought it was interesting and you might find it interesting also. To me, this dream just reinforces the fact that I am still being ‘used’ for something, as much as I want to deny all of this stuff. And now that I have quit smoking and am ‘cleaning’ myself out, it seems like maybe they are trying to reinforce things that have gone stale. I have noticed one big difference though in my dreams of late; I am now fighting back instead of just ‘going with the flow’ or running and hiding. And I don’t seem to be as scared as I used to be. 

This dream started out where I was with a high school friend of mine. She asked if I wanted to get something to eat, and I said sure. I just assumed that she would go to a fast food place because I still had on my pajamas (the same ones I really had on), but she went into a bar. I was kind of upset – not only because I didn’t like bars, but as I said; I only had on my pajamas. But I just pulled my coat over my pjs and went in with her.  

We sat down at the bar and she ordered a drink. I didn’t really want any drink because I don’t drink, but the bartender and my friend kept on bugging me so I finally ordered a “White Cadillac.”  Then my friend saw some other friends walking in and she moved over about 4 stools so that they could sit in between us. I recognized a couple of the people who came in. One was another friend from high school and a couple of others were friends I knew in grade school. Anyway, I guess my friends from high school were angry at each other for some reason, and I kind of just sat to the side, out of the picture.  

Suddenly some Latino males were there. I don’t know if they were friends of my friends or not, but they kept on getting really vulgar with me, trying to touch me, etc. I kept on pushing them away and pulling my coat closer around me.  

Now this is where the dream gets really strange. Suddenly everyone was going home. For some reason I wasn’t with them and I had to walk home. As I walked, I entered a surreal “Alice In Wonderland” type world. It seemed like no matter where I went, I was presented with strange obstacles. And I always seemed to be being ‘led’ to go certain ways. When I would refuse to go the way I knew ‘they’ wanted me to go, the obstacles seemed even harder; almost like I was being ‘punished’ for not following directions. 

I can’t really remember exact details of all the weird things that happened, but I do remember a couple. One was where there were two clean paths for me to go down through a type of forest. I didn’t want to go down either one because they so obviously wanted me to go that way, so I chose a third way. I went into this kind of room where I opened this door. When I opened it, I looked down and saw that I was looking at sky. It was like in there, the world was turned upside down. I was trying to decide if I wanted to go through that ‘door’ and take the chance that I would just fall and keep on falling; or that I would end up upside down and have to make my way that way. In the end, I decided that I didn’t want to take the chance, and I went back to the paths. 

I chose one and the forest seemed to come alive, grabbing and scratching me at every opportunity. It also seemed like the ground was rubber and I had a lot of trouble making my way along it. 

Then there was another part I remembered: I came out of my last obstacle and I saw ahead of me, what looked like, a normal town. But behind me I saw some people with birdcages on their head. I just thought they were weirdoes. I heard someone say that I was going to need a birdcage because of all the birds. I looked and did see a lot of birds flying around, but I thought that I could just hold some paper that I had, over my head and I would be okay. I started out, but the birds soon started attacking me and I had to run back to my beginning spot again. I didn’t have a birdcage, and no one seemed ready to give me theirs, so I just stood there for a minute wondering what I should do. Then this person (kind of like someone who didn’t want to be known) showed me a handful of nuts. She put some in my hand and I got the idea that I was supposed to throw them out at the birds. I wondered if this was really going to work, but I went out there and as the birds started attacking, I threw out some of the nuts in the air. The birds all went crazy flying for the nuts and left me alone. So that was how I got through that obstacle; every time the birds tried to attack me, I threw them some of the nuts and they would leave me alone. 

After what seemed like an impossible task that went on forever, I was just about to give in and do whatever it was ‘they’ wanted me to, when I heard someone say that I had had enough and they should let me go. I was so happy that I had made it through and was getting ready to just go home; when ‘they’ decided it hadn’t been enough and began this strange rubbery, morphing world again. It swallowed up the people who had said that they should let me go, and I thought: here I go again. I seemed to remember hearing a disembodied voice saying: “so, you seem to think you’ve had enough? You just want to go home?” And then the last thing I remember is the ‘voice’ asking me if I wanted to try (?). I recoiled and said no, but I remember falling (?) onto something that sure seemed like an ‘anal probe,’ and I woke up sucking in my breath. I could still ‘feel’ something, like it had been in me.

Interesting, I would say that people with birdcages on their heads are controlled people and bird are controlers. You hadn`t a birdcage on your head and birds attacked you.
I also would say this was a "treatmen" for you, like punishment.
Just ignore them, like I do. They warn us and those warnings can be realy bad, but put them on ignore :p

I would like to hear other interpretations because I am still learning and I would like to see where do I make mistake :)

Thank you for your reply Eve2.  You made some interesting points.  I do pretty much ignore them. I keep a journal of the more interesting dreams that I have, as I am a writer and some of them could make for some interesting stories. :lol:

Might I share with you some of my very silly dreams, the ones that I can remember.  I'm not looking for interpretations either, I just want to share:[/color][color="darkred"]

1.  A lady, slim, short hair, very business-like was driving me in a car, very fast through four or five apartment walls.  We broke through each "wall" unscathed and finally ended up in Bernie Mac's apartment in New York City.  We landed in his apartment, with him sitting on his couch, surrounded by his family, just sitting there looking at the two of us as if it was an every day occurrence.
2. I was driving my work desk down the road.
3. I was driving down the road and on my left was a "wall", about one mile high made out of orange/white dreamsicle cookies stacked on top of each other.  The orange/white colors were in a yin/yang shape.  On the other side of the cookie wall was an amusement park being built, that I could not see.  I got the "feeling" it was an evil amusement park being built.
4. In my dream, I was speaking to a man about something.  In real life, my alarm clock went off.  I told the person I was speaking to in my dream to wait just a second... I had to turn off the alarm, but I'd be right back.  :D
