Dream About Neglected Buildings And Hidden Powers
Analyze my dream

This dream was about

I dreamt that I was going through an unknown (to me) part of a city or town, it was cold and bleak weather and I came upon an old apartment building. It was a bit run down and shabby, but had once been grand. The ground floor was a big foyer, also once grand but now dark and neglected, so I didn't go further inside. Outside, the gardens were neglected and overgrown, rocks had slid in spots making it a bit precarious. There was a large pond in front of the building with dark plants and fish in it, and the children in the apartments could play in it, but they didn't much anymore. When I came upon it, just one small toddler was in it, standing still and holding out her hands to all the fish, they were gently nibbling at her hands. They not hurting her at all, but I was alarmed as she was small and the fish were large, and they scared me because they were hard to see clearly, just large dark shapes in the water. I think I called someone or talked to the girl, and she left. I looked in the pond and saw there was a beautiful, ancient necklace and some matching items. Everyone knew they were there but no longer cared. I fished them out and began to put them on, as they were beautiful to me, and someone told me that they would bestow power upon the wearer, but slowly over time, the power woud build. They were of a simple design, in a slightly-tarnished silver, the necklace was a little tighter than I would normally be comfortable with, but I was pleased about the power, and decided they were mine now. I wore them to a town fair and, feeling emboldened, volunteered to staff the Grand Theft Auto game stall. I was in my element with the power there and enjoying myself hugely, talking to all the people who loved the game too, mostly kids and younger folk. Then I noticed a female police sergeant, about my age, glaring at the video screen behind me, which was playing the game reel. I approached her to talk about it, and she was dismissive of the game (being that its a crime game I supposed) and of me as someone old and foolish who didn't know what I was volunteering to represent here. I told her that actually, I was high-level player of the game. She sneered at me and said I was just a financial supporter of the game then, dismissing me again as a fool who had been duped. I told her she really ought to try it before dismissing it and she angrily stomped off. I was a little surprised, but undisturbed, by her attitude. I was happy with the choices I had made.

Angie, your dream begins in an unfamiliar part of a city or town, shrouded in cold and bleak weather, setting the scene for an exploration of the unknown or perhaps a part of yourself that feels neglected or hidden. The old apartment building, once grand but now run down, symbolizes past experiences or aspects of your life that were once significant but have since lost their luster. The dark and neglected foyer suggests feelings of being stuck or reluctance to delve deeper into these past experiences, perhaps due to an underlying fear or apprehension. The neglected gardens and overgrown areas outside the building amplify this theme of neglect and possible disarray in certain areas of your life. The precarious rocks could symbolize obstacles or risks that you perceive in revisiting these past experiences. The large pond, with its dark plants and fish, represents a deep emotional reservoir that is intimidating due to its obscurity. The presence of the toddler in the pond, unafraid and reaching out to the fish, signifies innocence and a willingness to engage with the unknown, a contrast to your own fear of the large, unclear shapes in the water. The discovery of the ancient necklace and matching items in the pond suggests a realization of latent potential or hidden strengths within yourself that others have overlooked or dismissed. The notion that these items bestow power over time indicates a growing self-awareness and confidence that is developing gradually. The necklace, slightly tighter than comfortable, might reflect your hesitancy or discomfort with embracing this newfound power or identity, yet your decision to claim them as your own speaks to a readiness to embrace change. Volunteering at the town fair, emboldened by the newfound power from the necklace, illustrates a desire to express yourself and engage with others, particularly in a domain where you feel competent and passionate. The interaction with the female police sergeant, who dismisses the game and your involvement, mirrors a confrontation with societal judgments or self-doubt about your pursuits and interests. Your calm response and contentment with your choices, despite her disapproval, highlight a growing resilience and a solidified belief in your own path, suggesting that you are increasingly comfortable with who you are and the decisions you make.
