Q&A: Help interpret my dream?
Question by fishingforbasses: Help interpret my dream?
This is really wierd, dreams are like that. Bear with me here.
I had a very lucid, profound dream last night. Today I stumbled upon an incredible revelation about myself and my spirituality, and I believe the dream had something to do with my revelation, and the future.
The dream itself had an anxious vibe to it, like a “keep moving” feeling. The weather was calm. The sky was overcast.
The only part I remember is this: I was lifting palm sized gray rocks out of a cement hole that was filled with them, I got the vibe the hole led somewhere, there was a ladder leading down the hole, but it was filled with rocks (about palm sized, moving them wasn’t an isse) so I had to move them first. But for some reason (only picking up like 7 or so of them), I turned to my right and saw a road that led to a red bridge, which was about 10 feet away, the bridge was slightly rusted, but I wouldn’t think twice about using it in real life, it was in acceptable condition. When I started crossing the bridge, it collapsed (from the other side) into a reasonably large river, My vision was facing towards the bottom of the body of water the bridge was built over (the water was a reasonably clear blue, but I couldn’t see the bottom). I started to swim towards the bottom. About halfway there, the bridge then rose again to it’s original position (as if it never collapsed), so I started walking to the other side (I don’t recall what was on the other side). Just as I started walking on the now corrected bridge, I noticed tons of spiders with webs built in between the support bars in the bridge (you probably have seen bridges with large, triangular support beams, that’s what I’m talking about). Weirdly, they weren’t there before the bridge fell into the water, and the collapse of the bridge didn’t wash them away. At first they were minding their own business, but as I started to cross it, I started to get tangled in their webs, and was “dodging” them as they started to lower themselves using their webs. They weren’t particularly aggressive towards me, but they were getting in the way and it was grossing me out. (Almost done) Out of nowhere I found a gardening hose and started to spray them, their webs, and their egg sacksout of my way. These spiders, which were light brown with big abodmen and twig legs, turning into black widows. I then woke up from the anxiety.
This is all I can agree with (could be wrong, this is the vibe I got):
The Spiders represented deception/lies, their webs, which I was lightly caught in (I could remove them just like in real life, they stuck to me just like they would when you get one caught on you)
The water represented materialism.
Your opinion on the water/spiders is welcome, but I’m pretty sure that’s the meaning they had in the dream.
So I was spraying lies with materialism? Doesn’t really make sense, maybe the water from the hose wasn’t materialism, but the water the bridge was crossing was? What does the bridge mean? The rocks and the cement ladder that I apparently gave up on? It’s really confusing, but I can’t shake the fact this is probably the most important dream I’ve ever had…
Thanks for the help.

Tkh. Nope. The rocks were easy (I mentioned that moving them wasn’t an issue), and when I went to cross the bridge, it collapsed, but I chose to take it anyways (swimming towards the other side, underwater). That if anything would prove that I purposefully chose the harder path.
Maybe if I had moved all the rocks I would have found a hidden knowledge that I should have had to work harder for? That whatever was on the other side of the bridge (knowledge, love etc), I am suppost to take the route of most resistance to get there successfully?
When the bridge collapsed, I was still on land, I chose to swim under water to reach the other side, which I couldn’t see because of the water was fogging the path infront of me.
The spiders could imply that it was “punishment”, but I feel they were a warning, or a test to advance to the other side. As I said, the rocks weren’t hard to lift at all, I could’ve very easily cleared the cement path.

Maybe the rocks in the cement hole represent a hardship that you must endure or overcome and the rusty bridge was the easy way out and because you chose that, it had terrible consequences.

Lucid dreams give you the ability to control your own dreams and steer them toward the direction you want. In the lucid state, you are more willing to confront threats and as a result, become more self confident. When you achieve lucidity, you can use it as a tool to improve your sports game, to rehearse for a speech, to fulfill your fantasies, or to solve a problem in your waking life. In fact, some athletes utilize their lucid dreams to practice their tennis serve, golf stroke or bat swing. Even in your day to day life, you can use lucid dreams to ask the boss for a raise, prepare for a first date, overcome phobias, get over writer’s block, etc. Lucid dreams can help you visualize and rehearse an event in your mind before it actually occurs. It helps to overcome fears and anxieties. The application of lucid dreams is limited only to your imagination.
Because brain activity during the dream state is the same as during a real life event, what you “learn” or “practice” in your lucid dream state is similar to the training and preparation you do in the waking world. Your neuronal patterns are already being conditioned.
At least half of all adults have had one lucid dream in their lifetime. Many have reported having lucid dreams without even trying. Often flying is associated with lucid dreams. With practice, lucid dreaming can be learned and achieved at your will.
I had the same dream last night but its just a dream and nothing else
