Subject: Boot Camp

I was in this large, old building with muddy, dirt floors. It was like a boot camp.

I was waiting for my friend Melissa to get there, but she hadn't shown up yet.

I was going through these rooms. They were community showers and bathrooms, and I was disgusted with them. I found myself trapped at an intersection between four showers: two for the men, and two for the women.

I closed my eyes because I didn't want to see anything.

Then a drill sergeant called out and we all got in a line. I was still wondering where Melissa was.

The drill sergeant was yelling out things and making us do work. I was miserable and wanted to die.

I saw a small window at the top of some stairs. I decided to make a run for it and ran up a muddy hill to the window.

I was about to break through it but I hesitated because I didn't want to get hurt.

I finally busted through the window and fell out of the third story of the building. I spun several times in mid-air, then landed in a laundry truck, right on a large pile of clean, white sheets. I looked up and saw that the window was broken, but only in one place. I closed my eyes to rest, and woke up.

I forgot to mention that, while I was breaking out of the window, a song was playing, and I remembered the words. It was like an alternative rock song, and the vocalist was singing, "Who put all the bottles in this tiny little jar?" I never saw the band. I think I should also mention that I was barefoot, and while I was trodding through mud, my feet stayed clean.

Wow, what an interesting dream, Amy. It sounds like you're going through something very heavy right now. The showers might represent "cleansing". You're in a soiled place, someone is forcing you to stay there. You escape- Having a "break through"? And on the other side you are saved, cushioned from a fall by something clean and pure. You, in fact, manage never to get dirty.

You're breaking through from something dirty to something pure? Maybe trying to avoid something dirty that threatens to control you (drill seargent)?

I especially love the song lyrics. They're like a pun for "all bottled up." What is it that you're bottling up?

Any help?
