Two and Five make seven; and then Hindus, Mulisms and devils

[DRLHyper]

So,

I am at a McDonnall's. A slightly fat woman is selling me cheese and chips. I keep buying them, and paying with local money of $2s and $5s, (thus $7 for each purchase). In the end I buy some chips, put them in my backpack without eating them, and hand the $7 to the woman as a 'tip'. She complains it is not much, smiling, but I say that is all I can do for her.

I leave. As I am moving down the street, I enter a football field. Through I am moving through the right side, the ball still hits me. People come to ask me "are you okay, are you okay?", so much that I end up shouting "YES I AM OKAY, I AM OKAY!" at them. They sincerely looked worried.

I then find myself in a temple. It is a strange temple, since the maids that maintain it are mummies. I first quickly pass through the Hindu part, which is bright but quiet, and then I stand in front of the entrace to the Muslim part. Peering through the entrace I see that there is a mural on a wall: it says: "To protect from the Devil - Demon - Angels -" (among other supernatural beings), that one must use one of the swords below. They are in red, and most are oriented downwards.

I decide to finally go in. Through there are some dark places in the Muslim area, I find there are bright ones too. Eventually one of the mummies finds me; I decide to go to the bathroom. She does the same but to the girl's. At the men's restroom, I find that a girl is there, who simply leaves.

Finally, I decide to leave the temple. It is late evening, and the city has a 'futuristic' look. I take a hovercar and speed up. Through I am enjoying it, the spinning around seems quite dangerous - I in fact crash through a few times, but I am undamaged.

Then I wake up.

Buying "chips" by showing 5 and 2--cinq et deux, denoting a lucky shot in a game of dice--appears to be what you need: taking a gamble to counteract your spiritual poverty (lack of funds).

Furthermore, entering the soccer field puts you in relation to your social environment (your team, opponents) and your direction in life (goal, position on the field). But you seem to be out of place (hit by the ball) and not getting a hang of "the game."

Next, rejecting the game of life and its competition, you seek spiritual sanctuary (temple). The mummified maids allude to a cluster of associations: ancient, stale, wrapped in, ingrained, rigid, appalling, and so on. This symbolism incorporates the entire temple and, by extension, it forms a link between the oldest living religion (Hinduism) and the youngest (Islam), which culminates in a manifestation of conviction, passion and power (red swords). Incidentally, these were the very features you were lacking in your social environment and your direction in life (the soccer field).

After encountering known (bright) and unknown (dark) spaces of the Islamic area you take a further step towards self-renewal (bathroom, washing away the old). While doing this you also encounter a woman leaving the men's room, perhaps signifying her equal role as opposed to the mummy who visits the separate bathroom.

Next, the evening denotes how this journey comes to an end, and how your environment has changed as a result thereof (likely indicating the wish fulfillment of a spiritual rejuvenation). However, the car crash is where your spiritual journey really takes off--it's where everything is turned on its end, much like a Nietzschean revaluation of all values. In other words, it is the point where you embrace eternity and die to be reborn. However, since no such transformation occurs, you are yet to reach that step.

Mr. Dorn, allow me to congratulate you for your interpretation of my dream. You are correct on every point.

Indeed, I like deep thought. Spirituality is not outside of this sphere of thinking.

Furthermore, entering the soccer field puts you in relation to your social environment (your team, opponents) and your direction in life (goal, position on the field). But you seem to be out of place (hit by the ball) and not getting a hang of "the game."

I never fully understood life... It's origins, it's purpose. But I suppose we all have that doubt.

The doubt that torments me the most is: The future. I am simply unable to properly plan a future for myself. This would explain why I was also not expecting to be hit by a ball.

The mummified maids allude to a cluster of associations: ancient, stale, wrapped in, ingrained, rigid, appalling, and so on.

This... Could be very true. Probably is. But it is pehaps because I have a different outlook on life, on reality itself.

While doing this you also encounter a woman leaving the men's room, perhaps signifying her equal role as opposed to the mummy who visits the separate bathroom.

I am however confused at this point. If she is an equal to me -- that is in the sense of she being human too, or she being related to me? I think it is first, but may be the later as well.

I thank you again for your interpretation.

I boldened this point because it reminds me of something I dreamed of, at different points and in different ways: The Phoenix. Yesterday I dreamed of a half-phoenix girl, and a catalog of strange items mentioned the "Phoenix Starfighter".
As far as I understand, this mythological creature represents death and rebirth as well. But then comes the myriad of questions of "how", "why", etc., which I shall rather put aside for now.

You're welcome. It was a very interesting dream to interpret.

Next, rejecting the game of life and its competition, you seek spiritual sanctuary (temple). The mummified maids allude to a cluster of associations: ancient, stale, wrapped in, ingrained, rigid, appalling, and so on.

The symbolism was strong and conflicting, partly connecting an aversion to the rigid and ingrained ways of old, partly realizing the power vested therein. Somehow, these conflicting opposites are merged in a unity--which, I take it, accounts for the complexity of your outlook.

She is separated by the mummified maid by age and customs (ladies' and men's room). Being a part of the new and young she does not part ways with you, but stays where the cleansing is taking place. As she is leaving the very place where you are yet to stand, she is also an aspect of you.

That symbolism more or less confirms that a process of renewal is brewing in your mind.

Thank you for replying once again.

I have a problem with making decisions, specifically this seems to reflect this type of situation. Both... 'sides' in a situation provide strong support, but neither has 100% validity for me to aproach fully either. I can not simply accept doubt, so I am forced to go back to the initial point.

She is separated by the mummified maid by age and customs (ladies' and men's room). Being a part of the new and young she does not part ways with you, but stays where the cleansing is taking place. As she is leaving the very place where you are yet to stand, she is also an aspect of you.

I understand.

That symbolism more or less confirms that a process of renewal is brewing in your mind.

This type of situations are the ones I am exactly talking about in my first point. Many questions arise, since a process requires a source and a goal, what are those? (as an example question). Often I am unable to answer even the most elementary questions.
