Julia, your dream begins with you and your ex-best friend entering a huge, dilapidated house. The house's appearance, being pretty on the first floor but deteriorating further up, may symbolize the nature of your past friendship—perhaps it seemed perfect on the surface but had underlying issues. Meeting with your ex-best friend in the dream signifies unresolved feelings or unfinished business related to that friendship.
In the dream, you gather with some friends and a guy you had a crush on, and you’re all bundled up in a blanket. The blanket might symbolize comfort and security, but your feeling cold indicates a sense of emotional unfulfillment or loneliness. When the guy wraps himself around you to provide warmth, it suggests a desire for emotional support and intimacy in your waking life. However, your decision to explore instead of staying in that moment of comfort could reflect a yearning for personal growth and discovery beyond current circumstances.
As you venture further into the house, encountering the mirror and feeling the need to break the green-colored glass, this act of breaking could represent a breaking away from illusions or confronting truths about yourself or your past. The eruption of magic from your hand symbolizes a newfound power or realization. The secret elevator covered with stickers, some lewd, implies hidden aspects of yourself or situations in your life that you are now becoming aware of. The mention of your ex-best friend's mother adding the stickers might suggest external influences on your perceptions or experiences.
When you express hunger and your ex-best friend suggests waiting, it indicates a dependency or a lingering emotional connection with her. The spices and chicken represent nurturing and sustenance, but your friend's warning not to take them shows an internal conflict or hesitation to nourish yourself emotionally due to past hurts. The area covered in spiders and rats signifies fear and neglect, aspects of your life or psyche you are avoiding.
The climax of the dream, where you warn your ex-best friend about the table and chair, and the subsequent appearance of the seafood monster, suggests a confrontation with something deeply unsettling or repressed. The seafood monster can symbolize a culmination of fears and unresolved issues attacking you.
