I am trapped on an island at the end of the Earth, in an old farmhouse owned by a cranky, old fat guy that used to a teacher. Kobe Bryant is there, with a slew of other people that seem to disappear/reappear at random. They all seem to think I'm an ex-athlete. We are trapped because the "ocean" has turned thick like mucus. My parents somehow arrive later in the dream, as well as an old teacher of mine that I don't like, and I keep seeing her in a classroom doing some game I hate on the chalkboard. The dream ends with all of these people, minus Kobe, who keeps disappearing into some underground room, sitting in a very small room telling stories of their past. I tell mine, but that is pretty much where my memory goes blank. All I can recall after that is constantly complaining that I want to go home. Somehow I have my motorcycle there on the island but can't get it to work.
And, no I didn't have pizza before bed!

Being trapped on an island means exactly what it sounds like, you feel stuck in a rut or isolated from something better. The old farmhouse represents you, which I would think may mean you are feeling worn out. (based on your last dream that's not surprising!) I want to say the cranky old guy who owns it is kind of how you feel about your situation - you used to be able to help people (as an "ex teacher") - but owning a worn out farmhouse (your feelings) isn't helping anybody. However, the cranky guy could symbolize someone who "owns" you - and you used to have some respect for them, but now they are just irritating to you.
I'm sure Kobe is one of the hardest aspects of the dream to understand. When we don't have a personal relationship with someone and it is someone famous, I tend to think that our dreams use something like this to get our attention, the same way the media and celebrities get our attention in life. Only you are going to know why Kobe in particular, because it depends on how you feel about Kobe or basketball, etc. However - Kobe definately relates to the next part, where people think you are an "ex athlete".
It could be that you once felt as great as an athlete like Kobe should, but no longer feel that way. (This would tie into the "worn out" theme). Another possibility is that there is someone you were once on the same level as (both "athletes"), but now you're the "ex-athlete". This could range from job promotions to romantic endeavors, and like I said you are really going to just have to concentrate on what Kobe makes you think of in your life to get more clues.
Okay - so the "ocean" - water generally represent emotional clarity/flowing - obviously with it to be thick - your emotions may feel blocked - you are not expressing how you feel worn out, or how you feel about someone that makes you feel worn out, or feeling like an "ex", or not like the better side of you. I know that's a lot of possibilities, but without knowing your actual life circumstances, it is hard for me to say for sure where it would all tie in.
Your teacher/school and parents signify something in your past - 90% of the time school represents past feelings or events, even if they were not school related or happened during school. The game you hated, and tying it into the ex-athlete, makes me think you might be feeling like you were in competition with someone or something at some point, and didn't like it.
The underground room again emphasizes something in your past but it is buried, and depending on what you told about your past, it could be that you just aren't letting it come to surface, and maybe that's what's bothering you.
The motorcycle is the same as the island, though again driving does mean you are trying to gain some control, but since you can't get it to work, you are not sure what to do about not being able to change or express the feelings you have. Like the ocean and the island itself, you feel trapped, and you just want to go home - a place of security and comfort in most cases.
So to sum it up - you have two major themes here - one of things being old, or in "ex" status - or from the past. The second major theme is not being able to express it or get away from it.
I wish I could give you a more clear meaning to the dream, but based on the last dream - i can tie this into your "old furniture" and the "cats and the snake" - so I am definately thinking there may be a person in particular from "the past" (which in dreams could be a few days to a few years) and that you feel as if you're trapped with the feelings that are associated with that person.
As always, I love giving my interpretations, so I hope you'll be able to gain some insight on this one :)

Sweetheart, join the club. I always have crazy dreams. ALWYAS!!!! I tried to understand them, and analyze them. It was fun analyzing for a while. But it's pointless. Mine are far crazier than that. I have come to this conclusion: a night when I don't dream is a good night. Some people put a lot of stock into dreams though. I'm sure you're going to get all sorts of responses ananlyzing it for you so I'll spare you my analysis. If you're really interested in dream analysis Synthia Brown wrote an excellent book about dream, and their meanings. The name slips my mind though, look it up. Good luck, and if you eat acid, that causes weird dreams too, lay off it.

There is apparently many things in your past that have been left unresolved, along with some deepseated anger that causes you to displace yourself from people.
Find out what the issues are and get em resolved.

There ought to be a television series or action picture approximately prophetic objectives doing the rounds on the minute. anybody seems to be having them. except you're speaking approximately deja vu, which incredibly isn't the comparable element in any respect. in case you artwork out the thank you to foretell lottery numbers, you would be the 1st.

dreams are almost pointless to work out unless you are willing to admit who you really are, seems like your self concious and wandering at the moment, just finding things out

your emotions are keeping you from your dreams or future plans, seems as though you are self conscious too
