What does my dream mean?

Question

I dreamt that i was on a massive field. I looked in one direction, and saw 7 cows stood on top of each other. One walked off, and the rest all fell over, then there was a farmer pointing and laughing at them. Next there was an otter next to me, with a big head. There was a log on the other side of the field, and for some reason or other, we raced to it. I won the race, and the otter ripped its skin off and it was a big bear, but friendly. Me and the bear sat by the fire, then lots more bears came around. One bear put the fire out, so i shot it, and all the bears (except for the one there to begin with) ran away. Then me and the friendly bear went around and shot all the others. I woke up when i shot the last bear. I never shot the friendly one.

Answer 1

i think everything symbolizes something here....

the massive field means the SPACE you have in your life....or the privacy...i guess

the cows mean how people in your life our holding each other together and how if one falls everything eles will aswell....( this doesnt have to be the people it could mean things even)

the farmer could indicate the people you dont like or just people in general...( you're scared that people might see you fail and that might be there reaction )

the log could mean...something you really want and you're running after it trying to get it...

if only you could only deal with your fear of failure you could reach all thoses things you want and are waiting for...:D

and then you're scared that you might destroy all the things you might get !!!...and the fear of failure is turned into the fear of losing something you really value....

so this is my theory...i THink its pretty right :)...let me know

Answer 2

massive field = social life
seven cows = unusual behavior
farmer laughing = self esteem
log from other side = obstacle
bear = pride

In this dream, it could indicate something about your social life. You may be doing something different in your social life that drives people away. You have some sort of pride within you. Shooting the bears means you have some sort of anger from words you heard from people. You may not be able to accept what is coming into you. Your dream basically reflects your personality especially in your social life.

Perhaps you need to open up a little and let go about some ego of yours.

Answer 3

The seven cows represent the seven churches which will fall, according to Revelations. The otter ripping off its skin represents the false "skin" of your personality that you, and many of us sometimes wear, but you finally won the race and removed your false "skin" and showed your inner self. The other bears who tried to put out your flame represent the false "Christians" who would extinguish your fire because of their strict interpretation of the "law." In the end, you were victorious over them and found the best friend you will ever have, the friend inside yourself.

Love, Hope, Peace, & Christ Be With You,

its a test if friendship. this is how your dream could refer to real life chronologically.
1. Lost, confused, and alone.
2. You met someone, you didnt quite trust.
3. You tested this person on how trustful they were.
4. They lied to you but then came out in the open and you accepted them.
5. the two of you grew a connection.
6. a conflict involving others came.
7. You went to the ultimate test of friendship and passed.
need more detail? doesnt make any sense? contact me via email or 360 page. i am more than happy to help.

Answer 5

I'm not fully sure on this but i just think you were having a crazy dream that has no reason to it.

my other belief is that your gonna find a really nice person that will become your friend and his/her friends start hanging out with you to but they are mean to you so you do something to get them away from you.

so in other word this dream could be a glimpse of the future but in a weird way.

i hope I've helped you some. good luck

In the case of this very, very interesting dream it is a disadvantage not to know anything about you personally. But I would like to comment on it anyway. There is no way for me to know how you will relate to the archetypes that have appeared in this dream because they are so primal. It is valuable for you to retain memory of what is called the numinous feeling or residue left behind in you by the appearance and "experience" of these various animals.

There is a long history in mythology that deals with the cow. The greatest was perhaps in Egypt where the cow was the Mother of the great deities ( called "Neters" in Egypt), Isis and Osiris. They called this 'heavenly cow' Nut. Nut was a principle. She was associated with the cosmic substance from which the stars emerged - principle of fire. Isis and Hathor in Egypt were also frequently shown as cows or cow-headed. The cow tends to represent the female archetype in dreams. Usually it denotes the mother-principle. But this is also the principle that renews the self on a very deep level. Often in both dreams and mythology the female principle will appear as mother/wife. This must not be taken as literal incest!!!. It is referring to the core structure of an individual psyche which as it turns out is very similaar in nature to the core of all psyches.

The massive field is the thin plane/plain that separates heaven from earth. The number 7 traditionally links heaven to earth often through some form of sacrifice. When you see 7 some type of symbolic sacrifice is nearby. In ancient China the number 7 referred to the process whereby the old cycle falls or collapses. So they say that everything occurs in 6 stages but the 7th brings return. The return is from vertical steps or growth stages back to to the seed, the child, the young light. In Egypt this was the son of Isis and Osiris known as Horus. So Horus, the young light, completes the cycle. The parallel to Christianity is obvious.

So your dream starts on the plane/plain where everything begins, grows, roams, dies and is reborn. In Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc, 7 generally refers to some form of rebirth or "resurrection" of what has fallen. But the massive field is the horizontal plane that joins and separates heaven above and earth below. To resurrect everything must first return to the earth, to the dark and then rise again.

In early Christianity they spoke of the Seven Veils of Isis all of which had to fall and from which one rose again until all 7 veils had been overcome. Since Isis was frequently depicted as a cow your dream of 7 cows falling is interesting. One of the 7 walks away or survives the fall.

My feeling about the farmer is that the farmer does not understand the symbolism and inner potential of the fall of the 7 cows. His laughter may be inappropriate. Perhaps you should examine carefully the type of laughter he exhibited. His laughter may say more about his lack of understanding of the meaning of the 7 cows than it does about the cows themselves.

It is interesting that in this type of dream often the male ends up on his back, fallen over and the female stands upright maintaining the vertical. Here the feminine principle was stacked up in the vertical but collapsed. The collapse is signalling the call for renewal where the female principle will change form so that the male and female can eventually symbolically unite in the psyche.

The otter signals the next transformation. Otters are very aggressive, clever, even vicious. From a distance on the water they look like flat-headed serpents moving through the water. The Hopi talked about the talkative snake with the big head. Examine the feeling created by the otter. The otter may mean aggression, competition, the ego, inflation of pride and will. It is easy to trip over pride. What is the old saying: "pride goes before a fall".

One way to reduce the pride in the head is to run a race. If you lose there is a reduction in pride. In this case the creature with the big head lost. So you - your ego-identity in the dream - beat the aggressive little animal with the big head. The human won out.

But you were not just racing to nowhere. You raced to a fallen log. Incredibly the symbol of the fallen log also has a long history that was picked up again in the medieval Romance called Parzival. Parzival also comes upon a fallen log where he watched a fowl being attacked by a female hawk as if she had shot the fowl. In fact she was one of King Arthur's trained falcons that was used for hunting fowl. The fowl was felled near the fallen log. But it is well known in this tradition that the fallen log refers to the fall of Osiris, the famous husband of Isis. In Egypt this fallen log represnets the death of Osiris which precedes his equally famous resurrection usually as Horus the falcon! The Egyptians fashioned the Djed Column as a formal symbol of this principle of falling over at the roots and then rising again after a mysterious metamorphosis supposedly taking place within the hollow of the log. It is also interesting to note that Arthur was related to the bear-goddess Artemis who in turn was related to the Great Bear, the constellation! Etymologically there is a link between King Arthur and his Knights and Horus of Egypt. The Pharaoh was sometimes referred to as the Horus-King.

The aggressive otter ripped off its skin when it lost the race. The man - you - beat the animal, the otter. The 'big head' then turned into a bear. Often the bear is a femine symbol that denotes once again the mother motif, or mother-function, by which rebirth or renewal at quite a deep level is facilitated. Can you recall whether this companion bear was male or female?

It is well worth noting here that in Egypt, Greece, India and many other places the skin of an animal was used symbolically and ritually to denote 'resurrection'. The candidate for the event was covered with a skin such as a black antelope, a bull's hide, a leapard hide, and so forth. In Parzival the ailing King is covered with black sable fur from head to toe. In your dream it would seem that the aggressive otter was shedding or 'sacrificing' his skin so that something new could develop. Right away you found the bear to be friendly.

The multiple bears probably represent the teeming energy of the unconscious. That energy appears to have been ready to overwhelm you and the friendly bear. The fire refers to the conscious ego center that is trying to hold its own within a massive 'feminine' environment that threatens to extinguish the masculine flame. That flame is light, intelligence, libido, drive, passion, ardence, etc. You had no choice but to respond if too much feminine force is going to extinguish something as fundamental and necessary as that fire. At a later point down the road you might not kill, but in this case it was necessary.

Shooting the other bears probably symbolizes a deep level of sacrifice. That sacrifice relates perfectly to the fall of the 7 cows at the beginning with one that remains and walks away.

The friendly bear probably refers to a companion at a deep level, so it would not surprise me to learn that the bear was feminine. If so this dream has prepared the ground for a new level of inner integration. It is true that the bear is not yet a human; it is still a theriomorphic representation. But the deepest levels of the psyche often appear in animal form - such as snakes and birds and bulls, elephants, whales, fish, dogs and so forth.

The end of your dream is stable and promises that the ground for even more levels of integration has been prepared.

I hope you are feeling fairly good about the outcome. I do think it heralds some sort of rebirth event further up the road.

Answer 8

Really your dream reveals that your latent homosexuality is about to force it's way to the foreground. Whether you are male or female you are about to comfortably accept your sexuality. Perhaps you have already met the partner for whom you have secretly (even from yourself) been waiting. Goof luck to you and I wish you all happiness in your new open pursuits.

Answer 9

That 's a funny dream. But he has not to mean anything.
Sometimes our brains or our stomach play with us,
while we are trying to find some peace and deep sleep.
