Ever since I was little, I have had strange dreams. But the one I had a few weeks ago was so weird that I was not able to find any online resources to help me interpret this one.
I dreamt that I was in a Danny Boyle movie being visited by aliens who looked like babies (not strange considering I was remembering my 1 year old nephew that evening). They could not talk and were trying to tell us something which we could not understand. We just thought they were cute! Some events followed which I don't remember. Next thing I remember, we were on their planet which seemed to be in some kind of a warp. We entered some caves where there were tons of people (including children) as still as statues. The children were not veteran actors and some were blinking or twitching. (Never mind its just a movie and they are kids!) The baby aliens were with us too. We played around with some levers that sent a gigantic Y (that looked mysteriously cut out from a cake) towards some kind of a board and fitted there like a puzzle. Simultaneously, a brain of monstrous proportions encased in a glass case crashed. The whole planet came to a standstill including the babyish aliens accompanying us. That's when we realized that the babies were asking for our help!
So, how do I go about interpreting this dream? Wish fulfillment and an instigation of events of the day as Freud says? Certainly bizarre wishes to fulfill and no I wasn't visited by aliens or cakes or brains! Perhaps Jung's theory of dream interpretation seems more spot on when he says that dreams are reflective of a more complex and richer personal and collective conciousness. He believed that dreams may contain illuisons, unavoidable truths, fantasies, plans or even telepathic visions! Does that mean I fantasize and make plans about the unavoidable truth that I will visit an alien planet in the future?! Gosh that is some illusion!
Whether Freud was right or Jung, we might never know. Dreams have always been a subject of fascination for humans and various theories have surrounded them. For instance, dreams in the morning come true or that they are a doorway to another world.
I do not know what part of my conciousness threw up this strange chain of events. What is more likely that I have an overactive imagination that is hyperactive when I am asleep. Needless to say my dream concluded with the movie winning an oscar.
