Subject: Dogs in my dream again

I found myself walking (not driving as I would in waking life) along a prominent street in my town.

It is late at night and lonely. I'm looking around to see if there is anyone else there.

Then I turn up another prominent street. I walk awhile then turn back and notice the street sign is not what I expected it to be. It says MARK St. Nothing like the street's real name.

I feel confused and lost.

I keep walking and I reach town houses to my right. I can hear a lady yelling and screaming, obviously upset about something. I can't make out what she is saying.

Then I see several dogs further ahead. I look to the right to see if I can go another way. But they saw me too. I think it may be OK to just keep walking towards them as they just seemed like neighbourhood dogs and one must be on heat. (I had a real life encounter, not unlike this, years ago).

I approached and I noticed a big sheep barging at the dogs. It was on a long chain and tethered. Instead of the road, I am now in long, green grass. As I walk a small ram or goat comes up to butt me but nothing happens.

As I expected, one of the dogs, a large scruffy one, comes up and grips me by the hand. I think if I try to get my hand away it will bite me. I am afraid but cautious. I just keep walking along with it, but the thought comes to my mind that I will make the dog feel I am leading him.

In fact I think I wanted to think I was leading him.

We walk up to a little old rundown shed. Its door is open. It is sunny and bright in there. There is a door on the other side, but closed. The dream ends and we didn't open the other door to go through.

Hi Chloe.

I'm drawn right into this one. I thought a lot about your previous dream, with the dogs clamped on your arms, a while back. So, it has recurred... But look at the differences!

If we go back to your other posting we can see that you are being led by these dogs. Jane and Liam both talked about 'conditioning' and to think about how you have done things in the past. Perhaps you have let others force you along? Or maybe you are continuing to do things in the same manner without taking into account that there is another way?

In this dream you are on a street that you know. Again, another symbol to take you back to what you know and approach it in a way you have not done before -- walk instead of drive.

The street has been re-named MARK St. On your MARK... Maybe this is the beginning/the start of a new way to do things.

Now, here come the dogs... the fear. And if this has happened in real life too it becomes all the more important. The outer world reflects your inner one, bringing more light to your issues coming to the surface. But, this time, look at how incredibly your mind is clicking to making the dog think that you are leading him! It seems you've got it, just like that! You control your fear. It does not control you.

In front of you is the sun. You are going for it. There is a closed door. Closed doors perhaps show places that we have not allowed ourselves to enter previously. You are entering consciousness here -- the dream is ending. Open the door Chloe. I think this might be expressing the wonderful transition of your thinking.

How lovely!

Angela.

Hi Angela,Wow! What insight you have. The points you made seem to really make sense. I'm entirely sure that because of writing up my dreams, reading the responses and really thinking about them is going to help me make a breakthrough the next time I have this dream. Mark St - On your mark -That's great! Thanks, Chloe

My pleasure Chloe!

Isn't dreaming wonderful?! I'll watch for those reports of breakthrough. Though, I would say that you've already made strides.
