Does anyone know what this dream means?

Question

I had a dream were I was in the Target parking lot being chased by hyenas with glowing red eyes. Then the parking lot turned into a warehouse, and I heard a vioce telling me what to do to avoid the hyenas. It ended sometime after that. I had it a while ago, and can't figure out what it means!

Answer 1

Hyena
To see a hyena in your dream, suggests that you are overwhelmed with responsibilities. You feel that someone is relying on you too much. Alternatively, a hyena may represent someone in your waking life with a sense of humor.

Red
Red is an indication of raw energy, force, vigor, intense passion, aggression, power, courage and passion. The color red has deep emotional and spiritual connotations.

Red is also the color of danger, shame, sexual impulses and urges. Perhaps you need to stop and think about your actions.

Store
To dream of grocery or convenience store, suggests that you are emotionally and mentally strained. Alternatively, you may be brainstorming for new ideas or looking for the various choices out there for you.

Parking Lot
To dream that you are in parking lot, suggests that you need to slow down and take some time to relax from your daily activities.

Warehouse
To see a warehouse in your dream, represents stored energy or hidden resources. They also refer to memories. You may also be putting your ambitions and goals on hold.

To see an empty warehouse, indicates that you inner resources have been depleted. You need to take some time off to restore your energy and replenish your resources.

Voices
To hear voices in your dream, signifies a message from the unconscious or spiritual realm.

Answer 2

Sorta sounds like that scene in the Matrix where Morpheus was guiding Neo from the agents.

But in all seriousness, dream interpretation falls under the realm of psychoanalysis. That's Freud's department. I'm more supportive of the theory that dreams are the often nonsensical collation of cognitive thought your brain processes during the day.

Answer 3

Hi there

The purpose of dreams, as far as we understand them, is to process the vast amount of information that comes in through your senses each day whilst you're awake.

On this basis the "meaning" of your dreams is simply that you are making sense of information which previously didn't have a "meaning", for you, because it hadn't been processed so as to fit into your mental maps of the world (all your existing beliefs, ideas, values, etc.).

Given what seems to be going on, it's not really surprising that lots of things appear in your dreams that have nothing to do with what has been happening in your life just before the dream occurs. Things can appear in your dreams that have been part of your memories as far back as you started forming memories - or anytime in between then and now.

Nor do the things in your dreams have to be obviously related to each other. Like I said, dreaming is a process of finding/making meaning, and the brain can draw from anywhere in its huge store of memories in order to carry out that process.

So when, if ever, you happen to notice yourself having what seems like a weird dream in future you can literally rest assured that everything is OK. Your brain is actually doing, with great skill, one of the jobs it was designed to do.

Answer 4

Did you do a search online in a dream dictionary? look up hyenas, red and go from there.

Answer 5

The hyenas suggest enemies. The voice was a way of letting you know that you will overcome your enemies.

Answer 6

Maybe you are worried about being attacked by a rapist or thief in a large parking lot, and then being kidnapped and taken to a warehouse.

Either that or you just ate too much before you went to bed.

Answer 7

you are hunted by yourself (or feel that way in relation to others) but finds out a solution to this terrible situation

Relate this to your everyday life feelings....

Answer 8

you are shopping too much.
