Space And The House.

Because I have been without any true source of caffeine pulsing through my body in the past few days, I crashed last night. Seriously, I went to bed about 7:45pm... And didn't really get back up till 9am today.

I was tired.

But, all that rest really helped me log some serious REM sleep. And serious REM sleep means serious dream activity. I had two separate dreams last night...

The first one was me in a space ship. I was in outer space, in a small ship by myself. I was supposed to fire something from my shop to a star millions of miles away. If I didn't accomplish this task, something bad was going to happen. I didn't know what... But it had something to do with human life.

In my dreams though, I never have any fear. I was able to hit the star, no problem.

The second dream I had was a mix of different things... It started off with me sitting at a desk. A long desk. My co-workers were sitting next to me. We were working, and I see a huge hot air balloon with jet engines on it float by.

The next thing, I am in a big house. It's a beautiful house. It's a house I have dreamt about many times before. I know all the short cuts and secret places in the house. And I have to go to the bathroom. So I run to the bathroom to go, and when I get there and sit down on the toilet, I only go a little. I look over in the bathtub and see the bathtub filled with water. And then I notice there's a man in there, under the water. It looks as if he's drowned. But his eyes suddenly open, and I yank him out of the water.

"You're Jonathan!" I say to him. "Why are you trying to drown yourself!"

"It's 'Jon,'" he said. "I was just resting. Not drowning."

Then, I go to another part of the house. It's a closet. In the closet is a bookshelf. I start to climb up the bookshelf. That's when I notice on every shelf are flat boxes that all read my first and last name on them. I open on of the boxes while climbing the shelf. Inside it is another shelf that I could put into the bookshelf, if needed.

I don't need them though. There are plenty of shelves for me to climb up. I get to the top of the bookshelf and see a small opening into the attic. I know that I can climb through the opening. But, I see a delicate spider web covering the opening. And a small spider. And for some reason, I am freaked out.

"I can't disturb that spider!" I decide. So I decide against climbing through the opening.

Extremely weird, huh? But, believe it or not, the symbolism behind the two dreams relate to each other.

The space ship, star and space all relate to creativity and independent thinking. So my brain is telling me there is a lot more I can be contributing to the world with my creativity. (I personally think this blog is a good start. But I guess it's not enough.)

The hot air balloon, the house, attic, book shelf, bathtub of water and going to the bathroom all are representations of my spiritual mind and my soul... And my quest for spiritual fulfillment... The releasing and cleansing of my body for spiritual fulfillment. However, the spider web and the spider blocking my entrance to the attic represent a blockage. For some reason, I am either not ready or not allowed to enter the next phase of my spiritual path in life.
