I dreamt last night I went to India, where there was a pit of elephants who were dressed in
gold and bronze. Baby elephants were riding bikes, the elephants were no bigger than my
hand. .There were pools of water with strange looking fish. There were walking shells, with legs they were shuffling along.

Suddenly the scene changes, there is this house and I go in. I walk down a hallway and go
up some stairs. I look back and there is a young boy with blond hair behind me, I am
supposed to know him, but in reality I have never met him before. We can hear snoring
coming from a bedroom, we go in there are two beds, one a double and one a single. Two
people are asleep, but I cannot see their faces. In front of us is a wooden framed glass
door. I open the door and it looks out onto a river. There are steps leading down to a path,
it is so beautiful. The boy and myself walk down the steps, as we step onto the path, the
house turns into a huge boat, a family cruiser and it starts to move away, so the boy and
myself jump aboard and go up some stairs, like on an old fashioned bus . There are seats
upstairs, so we sit down. As we are travelling along, there are sea lions swimming along
side the boat. Then all of a sudden a great big black bear comes out of the water and then
dives back in. We start to pick up speed and the view is spectacular. Suddenly we drive off
the water and onto land. I turn to the boy and say, “Do you think the driver knows we are
up here?” The driver starts singing . “Some Enchanted Evening.” The boy then said , “I
don't think he does know we are up here.” I tell the boy, I am going to go down and talk
to the driver. When I reach him I say, “Excuse me, but did you know we were upstairs?”
He nods and said , “Yes.” Then I wake up. I am glad because I did not know where I was.
“Okay are there any dream analyst's out there that can tell me why I had such a weird
dream, I would love to know?”

New skinner_jennifer I will try tell you a bit,course could be entirely wrong. I enjoyed as a story though. Have you ever been to India? looked at books,got leaflets through post, watched something on t.v.They do say last thing you have read or watched before bed,has an impact on mind dream.Of course animals are in news mainly to be looked after and money wanted.You mention a boy,you jump,that's usually trying like an escapement means=to get away maybe.Elephants have you been again,maybe circus.And black bear that leaps,fear something may have about something at that time.Or could be again T.V book,film.Or maybe ate and drank before bed late.I do know some people experience flying in a dream and in another country,but you never land,just wake up!Astral travelling called.Hope I have been of help,sorry if put anything incorrect.I know of some dreams. Or maybe something,when you were a child?The driver was happy cos;singing lovely song,do you sing it. julie

Thanks julie. No I have never been to India. Due to my vivid imagination I do dream alot, but do not usually remember my dreams so vividly. No also I have not been to the circus either. I also don't eat before bed. Its a strange thing this dreaming, but its good to escape into another world, "Don't you think?" Thanks again for your comments, it was much appreciated.

new skinner_jennifer Thankyou so much,your return reply.Got to confess,mine part experiences.But this does work,sit in a chair,soft music and have friend partner,or someone,has light touch,I think mine is called title relaxation,it workes,as music plays relax from your head,neck,arms,bottom legs,sink into the chair,may go to sleep.The one with the touch gently can palce,two fingers across the forehead middle to out,must clear the mind of all, person light touch say,think of a garden,flowers,etc; bring in the fountain of running cool water,or a rose and descibe.Because shoulders and other parts get tensed up.Sometimes in agroup singing,what ever can be done standing up,just on the shoulders before starting.And I think children do at schools sometime One should feel refreshed.Any help to you.But the more one interacts in life,people,read books,maybe pray etc;it all definitely helps.Mine keeps interrupting me as I am trying type this right ugh! Maybe a walk through the park,note down beauty.Night mares,and dreams usually omething in life somewhere we are hanging!onto have to let go.Any good to you. Don't listen to me,I meet so many now problems of life! julie xx

Hi again Julie, what you said is true. I do yoga normally but at the moment have really bad hay fever so I cannot breathe properly plus sinus problems. So Iam doing alot of reading and a lot of writing and when it gets cooler I will do a lot of walking which I love. Had another dream last night, I dreamt I was pregnant and waiting for my waters to break, but woke up before they did thank goodness. I am prattling on a bit, so I will shut up, its just your the first person to actually reply to my comments and well only to be expected as I have only been with ABC Tales a week. Jenny.

Thanks jacquesO7. I think that in the song "Some Enchanted Evening," someone sings about "When you meet a stranger across a crowded room." The dream was about strangers and strange things, so perhaps there is a connection. Jenny.

Thanks beaste for your comment, I have also dreamt that I was in Africa walking down a dusty road, an African lady past me on the road, she was carrying a pot on her head. I was thirsty, so I asked her for a drink, she took the pot off her head, it was full of water, she gave me a drink. It was very strange. Jenny.

Well for one it could be wanting to travel & see new things, maybe you wanto see an elephant, they are magic! Trusting strangers in a dream can be positive or caution, most obvious thing is you have a vivid imagination! K

Thankyou Kahdai, yes I think you are possibly right, I definitely do have an imagination. Jenny.

Just a theory but I think this is a worry dream; worries about the future and about life. Gold and Bronze, I associate with medals; success and failure. Tiny elephants are the wrong size; they should be big but they're not and that could be another symbol of something not being successful or perhaps disappointing. Bicycles and travelling by boat could be a symbol of lifes journey. "Some enchanted evening" is a song about the future. The person who drives the boat could be destiny. Theres also a contrast between the exotic world of strange animals and the conventional indoor world of double beds and single beds. Perhaps you are bored or stifled, hence the snoring, and want to break free and have a more exotic life. Whatever it means, it's a very interesting dream and I enjoyed reading about it.

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.

Hi JoHn,  thank you so much for your in depth theory on my dream.  What you say makes a lot of sense,  or at least it did back when I had this dream a number of years ago.  Sorry I've taken a while to reply to your comment,  only it was only by pure chance that I found it.  I thought it might have come up on my tracking,  but it didn't.  Any way,  glad you enjoyed reading and thank you for letting me know.  Jenny.

Interesting little piece. You haven't released anything new for a couple weeks, so just browsing through your older stuff. Keep it up.

It was interesting coming back to this piece of writing. Last night I had another strange dream, maybe I'll write about that one too, see if anyone comes up with a theory on it.

I haven't been inspired lately, but enjoying reading others work, including your own on here.

Thank you for reading and the comment GGHades502.

Jenny.

Hi Jenny

In looking through your past work for something I hadn't already reviewed I found this. Interesting that it was your first post, and you got a lot of replies.  Some of them were harder to understand than your dream.  I have dreams that I often think would be nice to write out, but usually I have forgottent them by the time I get the chance.  Recent dreams are of indecision, and worry - not unlikely due to the fact I am having both a gastroscopy and a colonoscopy on Friday. I am badly anaemic and they are looking for internal bleeding of some sort.

Oh dear, you poor thing Jean. I'm so sorry to hear your news, it must be such a worrying time for you. I hope that your fear is taken away and they don't find anything for you to worry about. 

I'll be thinking about you on Friday and wishing you good health. I think it's incredible how clever the imune system is at recovering. I do know how you feel though, because I'm the biggest worrier going and suffer such bad anxiety, which has just got worse the older I get. Let's hope Friday comes around fast to put your mind at rest.

Thank you for reading this dream sequence, I can still recall it vividly and it feels like yesterday, so it definitely left its mark.

Look after yourself Jean and try not to worry too much.

Jenny. x

The place, India, I cant decipher that... But looking into the pit seeing elephants, or any animals wearing any bling while your looking down is a reflection of some kind....

house- hallway = the deep, your in but you're not going there, too deep, intent wise, hesitant, not to far or not to deep (yet)

young boy/blond  = he's not there, Its a reflection possibly of another dream.

snoring = drowning

people in bed, you cant see their faces & the bear = that's deeply personal... I can't see that far from here.

a double bed and single bed = there's not enough room for you there, even through there's a place for 1 more, you are not comfortable there anyway

framed glass door = coming and going, entry and exit, two ways, in and out, and or an escape path or plan

huge boat = travel.... but you're not the traveler here

seats up stairs= the view, over view, the big picture

speed- spectacular view = light, changing colors, alternative views....

sea lions = bounty-plenty- comfortable, yet curious

The driver, singing, (you ask) do you know we are here (?), yet you are alone, the boy is only a reflection = that's like in the realm of; who's watching you? are you being watched, looked at, getting noticed?. Or possibly getting someones attention, recognition. <that was a concern about something like that at the time>. It sometime has to do with how you see your self, that's a sometimes/maybe.....

Yes- and then you wake up= you were so deep you had to swim or escape to the surface and breath.

summary: there's allot of love mixed in that dream, adventure, some fear, curiosity, bravery, and some kind of idea or inspiration, possibly a solution, that was, trying to come to the surface... something like that, in that area.....

Note* I only wrote this because you asked "are there any dream analyst here". I cant say that I am, but I was trained at one time in recall which cross-overs into dreams, flash backs, recall and I deal with in traumatized people to recount or recall events .... This post has been here for a while (2010)..... I read your content sometimes.... because I like some of it... and I like your style

-=x ;)......... thats a blown kiss, and a wink, from a gentleman from afar and a fan...

Kind regards,

Kris

What a lovely surprise to read your indepth analysis of this dream, it was very interesting, yet I cannot recall how I was feeling in waking life all those years back. You've been very kind to take time out to address my dream, and for that I'm very grateful, It's a comment I will think very hard about and come back to, while trying to remember what was going on in my life at the time.

To a very kind and lovely gentleman.

Thank you so much.

Jenny.
