Analyze my dream

This dream was about

I am hanging, suspended and still, in a vast depth of water. Ice mingles with my flesh as I drift within the Abyss, phantom beings carving my flesh. I am drowning within it all. In moments of clarity I believe I see things around me that terrify me, monsters made of shadow and teeth. In time, I strike out, fighting and clawing at them, trying to reach for the light I know must be above me. My hand strikes something solid, and, for a second, I think it might feel like I do. I think it must be of flesh and warmth. No, I scream, even though I cannot hear my own voice. I shriek that it is a monster, for nothing familiar lies here but darkness and I. Voices grate on my ears, and I feel certain I am persecuted. This is a version of hell, I am sure. Of cold terror and silent thoughts. I feel my bones brittle and wear, my muscles strain and tear. I feel my eyesight grow stronger and better, then, even as my body withers. With time, I realize that the blackness I have found to cover my vision is not the cloak of night, but my own closed eyelids. I open them, nearly crusted over with disuse and thickened with opinion. What I see is light. Not above me, but behind me. When I look around I see monsters, creatures with gnarled skin and grotesque claws, biting tongues and teeth to shred hearts. I am disgusted, terrified at these things that surround me. It is when I try to turn myself around to go back to the light, that I understand. With strong eyes, I see that my hands, once pink with newness and youth, are withered like a beast's. They are clad with long, shredding claws like a Reaper's sickle. I run scaled fingertips across my face, but I find only teeth and bone. I hear, then, that it is them screaming around me, accusing each other of being monsters as I did moments before. For I am them, striving for light with eyes closed, determined in my suffering, dragging others with me into darkness.

Brie, As you navigated the depths of your subconscious in this dream, the overwhelming sensation of being submerged in a vast expanse of water symbolizes your current emotional state. The icy touch mingling with your flesh points to a possible feeling of emotional numbness or a cold reality you're facing. The Abyss represents the unknown depths of your psyche, the parts of yourself that might be unexplored or repressed. The phantom beings carving your flesh can indicate a sense of vulnerability or a fear of being hurt by unseen forces in your life. The monsters made of shadow and teeth are the embodiment of your fears and the darker aspects of your personality that you are possibly reluctant to confront. Striking out against these creatures signifies your struggle to confront these daunting aspects of your life or yourself. The fleeting moment of finding something solid, something that feels flesh and warmth, suggests a brief glimmer of hope or connection amidst the chaos of your inner turmoil. The realization that the monsters are screaming and accusing each other, just as you did, is a profound reflection of self-awareness. It implies that you recognize the 'monsters' within yourself and others, and the shared experience of striving for the light—seeking truth, understanding, or enlightenment—with eyes closed. This can be a metaphor for the collective human experience where everyone has their struggles, and often, people are quick to judge without looking inward. As you acknowledge your own monstrous form in the dream, it signifies a powerful moment of self-realization and possibly an acceptance of all parts of yourself, even the ones you find difficult to face. The transition from darkness to light, even though the light is not in the expected place, suggests that the path to understanding and self-acceptance may not be straightforward but lies within a shift of perspective. In essence, your dream reflects a deep dive into the complexities of your psyche, confronting fears, and the journey towards self-discovery. It speaks to the transformative process of acknowledging and integrating the shadow self with the light, ultimately leading to a more profound sense of wholeness and understanding.
