I've been having this dream on and off since I was about 10, I'm now 17! There are no people involved in it at all, just a tower. I have no idea where or what this tower is (if it's a real place) because I've only ever seen it in the dream. Sometimes it's daytime, sunny, and the tower is white. Most of the time it's nighttime, it's cold and the tower is black and gothic looking. There are crows flying through the tower (it has no windows, just holes) and landing on the spires at the top. I go in the tower and upstairs into a tiny room at the top where there is an open book. Then I wake up! Any idea what it's about? I rarely remember dreams but this is one that I've had many times and I remember it each time!

  1. The dream seems driven by some imagery out of your past - perhaps something read to you as a child or seen in a movie - and coupled to some wonderment of the future.

    The brightness of the daytime tower suggests hope, the darkness otherwise suggests times of darker thoughts or anxiety.  The common theme of tower harkens back to the imagery - that seems embedded and is a handy image for your subconsicous mind to play this symbol out as a beacon for your feelings at the time of such dreams.

    The book may relate to 'what is to be - the truth to come'.  It is sacred, you know it is there - destiny at self.  You do not however know the details - what is in it.  And much of it would be yet to be written.  Notice that you must 'climb' - as we do in life - to get to that book.  Crows are rather like ravens - and are dark harbingers - this relates to anxieties of some sort, not necessarily real peril to you.

    Think back to the times you had these dreams that you can remember - were there things happening in your life, negative or positive, that may have triggered the dreams?  Some wonderment of things to come - and fears of whether they'd be dark things, or reasons to see things as bright?  You might also keep a diary to look at that possible tie more closely as it may be difficult to accurately recall this link from the past if it exists.

    That the theme has continued so long simply indicates a now-familiar thought process by which your dream sends its messages in response to your mood or outlook at the given time of such dreaming.  It has become a subconscious habit by all appearances.

    Think these things over to see how they fit - this may help with some insight and help you to understand how to address the feelings associated with the dreams more effectively in waking life.

    All the best to you.


  2. Tower....represents NOT being in touch with certain circumstances or issues in your life, and things needs to understood fully before taking any action.  I think the night and day represents that this distance and confusion in your life is encroaching in every aspect of your life.  Perhaps the area that you are uncertain or withdrawn from is related to education (book).  Perhaps you have a seemingly unattainable educational or learning goal that has always been in the back of your mind.

    Worse case scenario...the tower could also represent isolation...and the book escape from whatever hurt, or bothered you in your childhood.

    I was placed in "situational danger" as a child and had the same nightmare for decades....took me years with a sleep therapist, etc. to be able to sleep without nightmares.  

    Good luck to you!
