Hope, from the outset, your dreams seem to be an intricate blend of escapism, identity exploration, and a manifestation of underlying stresses. In the first dream, being placed in an author's work and embodying an early adolescent child suggests a return to a more innocent, formative period in your life. The setting, whether in Italy or Japan, and the act of shopping, perhaps symbolizes a search for something essential or a need to navigate through complex emotions and choices. The dim lighting and broken glasses indicate a sense of confusion or difficulty in seeing things clearly, while the phantoms reflect feelings of detachment or the presence of unresolved issues. The flooding water you run from could represent overwhelming emotions or situations you are trying to escape from.
In the second dream, boarding a ship and being involved in a covert operation indicates a journey or transition in your life. The lower cabin and the author's plans suggest feelings of being controlled or guided by external influences. Being asked to identify as someone else, especially with names like Mei or Valena, points to an exploration of different aspects of your identity or the pressure to conform to certain roles. The alarm and escape boat signify an urgent need to leave a problematic situation, and the journey through various regions reflects a quest for freedom and stability.
As you traverse the canals of Venetia and blend into the environment, this could symbolize your adaptability and the constant need to adjust to new circumstances. The transforming motorboat, which becomes a portable car, indicates resourcefulness and the ability to navigate through life's challenges. The detailed imagery of driving, rollerblading, and skateboarding through the streets of Verona, along with the old stone arches and kid's parks, point to a yearning for balance between adventure and stability.
The encounter with the big tree, its soft furry leaves, and fallen cherries introduces a moment of calm and reflection amidst the chaos. The mold on the cherries might suggest that not everything that seems appealing is actually beneficial, urging you to be cautious and discerning in your choices.
