Ariel, your dream begins with you and your family on a vacation, staying in a tiny, run-down house in the mountains. This setting might reflect feelings of vulnerability or discomfort in your waking life. The fact that the house freaks you out and the beds are shaped weirdly suggests a sense of unease or displacement. The mess you make of your luggage could symbolize a lack of control or organization in your personal affairs.
As night falls, the house feels haunted and you sense creatures outside. This fear could be indicative of unresolved anxieties or external pressures that you find overwhelming. Missing your boyfriend, Mike, and then having him show up might signify a longing for comfort and support in stressful times. Hugging Mike and cutting his hair could symbolize a desire to nurture and care for him, while also needing his presence to feel grounded.
Your dad's announcement that you're leaving the next day and your lack of preparation could reflect a fear of change or not being ready to face upcoming challenges. When Mike goes off and you can't find him, your feelings of love and physical desire for him show a deep emotional connection and perhaps a fear of losing that connection. Finding Mike again and hugging him might represent your resilience and determination to hold onto what's important to you.
The dream then shifts to your workplace, a haircutting place, where you're being harassed by someone. This confrontation and your eventual outburst might illustrate internal conflicts or feelings of being misunderstood. The reaction of the people around you and the involvement of the police could signify a fear of judgment or repercussions for your actions or words.
Following the man who you think is taking you to jail, only to run away and get lost in a dark, mysterious city, might represent feelings of confusion or being overwhelmed by life's complexity. Falling in love with the man who reminds you of Mike could indicate a longing for familiarity and safety in new and uncertain situations.
Your transformation into an alien and the surreal elements like the giant room of slime and the giant egg might represent feelings of alienation or transformation in your personal identity. The little creature claiming to be your child and your realization that Mike is the father could symbolize changes in your relationships and responsibilities. Missing Mike but feeling like a monster might reflect inner turmoil and a struggle with self-acceptance.
