Oi... get out of my dreams, please.?

Question

I had a dream

My home was a very large, slightly run down, single level building 200 yards from the beach with gentle dunes separating the house from the sea. (I wish)
Not surprisingly, the inside of the house was untidy and disorganised as is my real home. There were no walls or fences to separate my property from the rest of the world.

My problem with this dream was that each time I arrived home, either alone or with a friend, my ‘garden’, my porch (a large covered area with heavy curtains to keep out the sun on blistering hot days) and even my house was littered with strangers who were either picnicking in the dunes, sheltering from the searing sun in my porch or even making themselves comfortable on my sofa.
My home was seen as an amenity for all who passed by.

Getting them out was not difficult. Some were reluctant to be moved on from the space they had found, after all, it was rather comfortable and their kids were enjoying themselves, but most accepted the fact they had trespassed on someone's else's grounds and left, albeit unenthusiastically.
Slowly they all moved on leaving their litter, broken shoes, my rearranged furniture and I was alone again and peace and tranquility was restored.


One episode of a dream like this would have been interesting and even fun. I enjoyed the cajoling, the reasoned arguments and even the veiled humorous threats of evisceration if they didn’t leave my home.

To repeat the sequence throughout the night was tiring.
I’m glad today is saturday.

Answer 1

Your home is the most intimate manifestation of your self, the fact that others, strangers, and passers-by are taking up resident there is a reflection of undefined ego boundaries on your part. i.e. You're allowing others to define who you are instead of making a solid foundation of principles on which to stand. You need take some time to decide what you're about. Build a fence instead of trying to be open to sea of oftentimes contrary ideas. And, think if you can remember how many times this dream occurred, because that does have significance.

Answer 2

if you have the sort of dream where social interaction is possible, i would advise you to train yourself to control yourself inside of said dream, cos then you can do stuff that you couldn't do in real life, such as the ultimate stress relief:
beating up the dream-squatters!

Answer 3

That was an interesting account. I would like to know your initial feeling on waking. This is all very poignant. Please add whats significant to you and how you felt and also what you would call this dream if it were to have a name.
