trying to get feedback on a disturbing dream I had

topic posted Tue, October 2, 2007 - 11:42 AM by  Morgan
I am at the head of a column of Ancient Egyptian spearmen. I am with some kind of young prince/noble. Though he is a vague presence. We are going up a green grassy rise. I have a feeling that there are enemy troops on the other side of this rise, so we all suddenly shift left and go obliquely around the hill to flank them. Sure enough they are there and we charge them from the rear and break up their formation. Feels pretty good. Next seen me and the prince are int the courtyard(?) of some structure. We are under some archway(?), everything seems fine until some tallish, slender noble storms in, he has a furious look on his face. At this point I know something must be wrong. I briefly wonder,Was our military action unauthorized? Or perhaps we attacked our own people. We are both seized. The noble pronounces that we are both to be "entombed". I take this to mean we will both mummified and buried alive. I am a little anxious and creeped out by this. An attractive ancient egyptian woman comes and escorts me away. I wonder if I can get out of this unpleasant fate by seducing/getting into good graces/forming some kind of attachement with her. Next scene we are in a non descript room and having intercourse. However the woman is now a big green bird! Yikes! Anyway as with most dreams I dont find anything amiss with this and the sex goes on for a while. Next scene me and the woman are talking, we decide to have sex again----and she turns into a bird again! now however this scene is taking place in a well lit (maybe day lit) hotel lobbyish room. But there arent any people, or rather the idea of public sex isnt really an issue or manifested. The End
Have fun with that.

  • Ok I'll bite . . .
    I am going the Jungian "what part of this is you" line of questioning . . . or you can look at as archetypes in your life.

    The column of spear men is your personal power . . . The Prince (Ego) is really just a figure head and it is You (the Essence) that is really in charge; you are using your intuition to protect your ego and personal power. Even though your instinct are correct, your actions are questioned and go against the accepted authority . . . "You" must be suppressed. In order to save yourself you resort to using your sensual energies; this is a conscious use of something that comes naturally, something you can rely on because you know it works. The green bird may have Egyptian significance that I am unaware of, but I see that the women/sex and green bird are really archetypes for flight, freedom, escape from your situation, especially since it change more than once, emphasizing the metaphor.

    This escape brings you back to the present time, where you are still in touch with your sensual nature and un-affected by you surroundings. How can the Egyptian scenario assist your present reality . . .

    Do you have a background in Egyptian mythology or did this scenario come out of the blue??
