Had a looong dream, what does it all mean?

Question

Basically it started off with me and a few other people in a giant, creepy, gothic looking city. We're coming out of this museum-looking place, knowing we all have a very important quest to do together. As we walk out, I get this very strong feeling of dread, I look at the corner of my eye and I see this dead looking person spying on us. I tell the others about it, but they have no clue what I'm going on about and think Im just paranoid. On the quest we had to solve a bunch of puzzles in round, libary type rooms we eventually come across, each one of us had an important role to play in them. I can't remember details, but we all do it sucessfully, except in the very last puzzle room someone has gone missing. For some reason they didn't like our company and betrayed us, so we couldn't finish the puzzle. I get angry and we all try to track the person down, but stumble into this evil ruler's territory and have to hide for our lives. I am scared throughout this part. What does it all mean??

Answer 1

hmm. my therapist said that dreams are the unprocessed memory of our everyday lives. so everything you've experienced blended into one dream. so perhaps, idunno, you saw a movie or soemthing about zombies, (i.e. the dead looking guy) or maybe you were playing a fantasy  RPG.

but me, I don't think that dreams necesarily mean anything, just bits and pieces of what we've experienced

Answer 2

giant, gothic looking city = unhappy life you are living in now

dead looking person spying on you = feeling restricted, lack of full freedom

try to solve puzzles = challenges, obstacles in life

person missing = helplessness

stumble into evil ruler = hopeless, disappointment, defeat

You may be having some issues about your life about things you don't get, or obtain.  The desire you have may be shattered for some reason.  The city symbolizes your unhappy life, while the other few people reflect your social life.  You are feeling left out and helpless in some aspect of life.  The dead person suggests that you are feeling helpless and the evil rule reflects the final defeat you may be having.

In translation, you want to break through obstacles you have but you are helpless and that is why you vent out dream like this.
