KATH HOWARD'S DREAM THEATRE - Dan's dream- my interpretation

https://vimeo.com/42892521

Dan's dream:

I dreamt that i was in a castle, in the garden area with trees. The trees weren’t very leafy and just looked like big twigs. in the shadows of these trees was this person who loured people into the shadows before snatching them from the world. It was a sunny day and i was running around avoiding the shadows when i accidentally stood in the shadows to get out the way of a sudden rain storm. this person then giggled and took me....then i woke up freaky stuff right there!

My interpretation:

Castle; 
To see a castle in your dream signifies reward, honor, recognition, and praise for your achievements. Alternatively, the dream indicates your desire to escape from life’s daily problems. 

Trees; 
To see bare trees in your dream indicate used up energy. You have put your all into some relationship or project and now you are exhausted. Perhaps you are even feeling depressed. Alternatively, the dream signifies the cycle of life or the passage of time. 

Shadows; 
To see a shadowy figure in your dream represents characteristics which you have not acknowledged or incorporated into your own personality. They may symbolize the young, the helpless or the under-developed. 
Alternatively, the dream may mean that you are in someone else’s shadow. You are constantly being overlooked and are fed up with it. 

Shadow person? Demon? (I went for demon as the idea of taking people from the world seemed appropriate) haha; 

To see demons in your dream represent ignorance, negativity, distress or your shadow self. It also forewarns of overindulgence and letting lust give way to your better judgment. As a result, your physical and mental health may suffer. 

Sunshine; 
To dream of sunshine indicates that you are experiencing some sort of emotional or situational breakthrough. The dream is offering you reassurance that you are headed on the right track. 

Running; 
To dream that you are running away from someone indicates an issue that you are trying to avoid. You are not taking or accepting responsibility for your actions. In particular, if you are running from an attacker or any danger, then it suggests that you are not facing and confronting your fears. 

Rain; 
To see and hear rain falling symbolizes forgiveness and grace. Falling rain is also a metaphor for tears, crying and sadness. If you get wet from the rain, then it indicates cleaning from your troubles and problems. 

Abducted; 
To dream of being abducted indicates that you are being manipulated by your circumstances or by someone. You lack control of your own life. 

Dan's response:

Ah thats so cool I might have to think about seeing a therapist haha! thanks for that! It was such a weird dream. Kinda makes you think about whats happening in your unconscious mind x

KATH HOWARD'S DREAM THEATRE - Elena's second dream- my interpretation

https://vimeo.com/42892039

Elena's dream:

I was in a very long, dark corridor of an old house. It was night time, there were windows without curtains, and curtains behind which there were no windows. I looked out of one of the windows and saw a street with a few people in the middle of the road. A car came speeding round the corner and knocked the people over, then reversed again and again until all the people were dead. I was unable to do anything as the man got out of the car and through the people into the bushes and drove away. I knew I had to go to the police but I was in a town where there was a gate halfway through it which was shut most of the time. The police station was on the other side of the gate. I went outside and went searching in the bushes for the people to see if I could find out who they were and give any help to any that were still alive, but as I searched the bushes all I could find were hundreds and hundreds of skulls. I ran away towards a hotel where the gate was. I ran into the hotel and said to one of the assistants; 
“I need to report a mass murder but I’m stuck on the wrong side of the gate!” The hotel assistant acted like she hadn’t even heard me and walked away. I was rattling on the gate trying to get through but there was no way. One of the guests turned to me and said; 
“You’ll have to wait until the morning like all the rest of us.” 
I went outside and fell asleep next to a wall. When I woke up two buskers with purple hair were playing the guitar and singing next to me. They came over to talk to me and I asked whether the gate was open. They told me it wasn’t but that they knew a way to climb over the hotel and jump straight into the police station. I followed them and they helped me onto the top of the hotel but I realised that it was really high and that if I jumped I would die. I tried to get back down but the buskers were blocking me and trying to push me off. 

My interpretation:

Night; 
To have a dream that takes place at night represents some major setbacks and obstacles in achieving your goals. You are being faced with an issue that is not so clear cut. Perhaps, you should put the issues aside so you can clear your head and come back to it later. Alternatively, night may be synonymous with death, rebirth, reflection, and new beginnings. 

Corridor; 
If you are walking through a long corridor, then it represents your desperation in trying to escape a repetitive situation or some behavior patterns. You need to free yourself of this repetition. Alternatively, it symbolizes the choices and options that are available to you. You have a lot of things to consider. 

old house; 
To see an old, run-down house in your dream represents your old beliefs, attitudes and how you used to think or feel. A situation in your current life may be bringing about those same old attitudes and feelings. Alternatively, the old house may symbolize your need to update you mode of thinking. 
To dream that you are inside a stranger’s house indicates that there is something that you have yet to discover about yourself. It may mean that there are repressed memories, fears or emotions that you are not confronting.

To dream that you are afraid of heights (scared of falling off the gate)denotes that you are striving for goals that seem beyond your reach. 

Elena's response:

Those are some very complicated symbols there but a few of them really did make sense, I think possibly the meaning of this dream and the previous dream could be very similar, with climbing the tower/climbing the gate, somebody trying to kill me, a musical instrument. That was really interesting thank you for all your hard work! xx

KATH HOWARD'S DREAM THEATRE - Maddy's second dream- my interpretation

https://vimeo.com/42891719

Maddy's dream:

so i was in a makeshift den (the cardboard boxes seem to return haa) and i was looking out into a dark stone allyway, where i saw a mother and her two children walking across. the elder girl (around 6 years old) just suddenly dropped to the floor, so i ran over to her and we found out that she had been shot and was dead. 
then i woke up. 

My interpretation:

cardboard box; 
Looks like they’re trying to tell you something! haha, apparently you’re still at risk of something? 

Alley; 
To see an alley in you dream suggests that you have limited options. Alternatively, an alley indicates that you are sidetracked from your goals due to other priorities. 

To dream that you are walking through an alley represents a dead-end. You might feel that you have missed out on some opportunity in life. 

Death; 
If you see a stranger die in your dream, then it implies that you are feeling detached from the changes that are happening around you. 

Children; 
To see children in your dream represents your childlike qualities. You may be longing for the past. You might be trying to still satisfy repressed desires and unfulfilled hopes. Maybe there is something that you need to see grow and nurture? Alternatively, the dream may be highlighting your innocence, simplicity, and carefree attitude. 

To dream that you are watching children but they do not know you are there is a metaphor for some hidden knowledge or some latent talent which you have failed to recognize. 

Maybe the death of the child and the fact you were helpless shows you’re unwilling to leave your qualities of a child behind? 

Woman; 
To see a woman in your dream represents nurturance, passivity, caring nature, and love. It refers to your own female aspects or your mother. Alternatively, a woman indicates temptation and guilt.
