Hope, your dream begins with you on a low mountain, looking down at the city and the surroundings from the woods near the top. This setting suggests a sense of detachment and observation, perhaps indicating that you are currently in a reflective state, evaluating your life's landscape from a distance. The mention of the One-Night Castle ruins built by Toyotomi's force to trick the Hojo clan signifies a historical and strategic context, which may reflect your own feelings of being caught in a situation where you need to outsmart or navigate through complex relationships or challenges in your life.
You’ve already climbed to the top, which indicates a sense of achievement or reaching a significant milestone. However, the urgency and being pushed down the path because the pursuers are coming suggest a feeling of being chased or pressured by external forces. This could symbolize the stress and anxiety you frequently experience, as noted in your profile. The mention of Tuatha De Danann and the night in Celtic woods, accompanied by sounds of owls, croaking frogs, and crickets, adds a mystical and ancient layer to your dream, possibly indicating a connection to deeper, more primal aspects of your psyche.
The scene then shifts to a game map, where you observe your own avatar from a third-person perspective. This shift to a flat, paper-like world with a gray and dark yellow sky suggests a feeling of detachment and control, yet also a sense of impending change, much like the calm before a storm. The mix of new and old architectural elements in the backdrop creates a surreal, gothic-lolita atmosphere, reflecting a blend of tradition and modernity in your life, and possibly your internal conflict between the past and the present.
In this dream world, you are carrying and conversing with your younger brother, who has grown significantly since you last saw him. The conversations with him about your mother and her struggles during pregnancy highlight unresolved family issues and the emotional baggage you both carry. Your brother’s calm but critical view of your mother’s choices reflects your own internal dialogue and the need for understanding and reconciliation with your past.
As you sprint across the maps, zooming through moving bridges and limbo sticks over a bottomless abyss, it symbolizes the constant movement and potential instability you feel in your life. The infinite abyss below could represent the deep, unresolved issues or fears that you are navigating. The return to the atria and the search for a place to eat symbolize a need for nourishment and comfort amidst this chaos. The choice between the old, traditional cafe and the new, artistic cook’s inventions reflects a dilemma between sticking to what is familiar and exploring new, perhaps risky, options.
Finally, at the table, the presence of bougie and pretentious customers, and your interactions in beginner-level Italian, suggest a feeling of being out of place or trying to fit into a new, perhaps intimidating environment. The light dozing on your brother’s shoulder shows a moment of respite and trust, indicating your need for support and connection amidst the turmoil. The mention of specific dishes like pasta genovese and canned oil-preserved fishes brings a sensory detail that grounds the dream in reality, hinting at your longing for simple, tangible pleasures and comfort in a world that often feels overwhelming.
