Gosh, guys, these are fantastic questions. I begin with Twice's excellent summary question.
Is this a dream more about you personally Eagle or do you think it is something greater?
I do tend to take a more Jungian view of dreams, in that each dream holds at least a little bit of everything....of self, of the future, of the past, of the collective, etc. Yes, I have analyzed this dream from the viewpoint that it's completely about me personally. Improving self is a constant journey, eternal in fact. It sort of felt like the clients in the dream were escaping, and the psychiatrist was facilitating it. Escapism is something I work on extensively with clients, and in the egocentristic theory of dream therapy, the dream is telling me that I need to listen to my own words. Got to face my issues more directly. Not doing well enough with shortcomings. Although I don't necessarily see myself escaping any problems, that's what the dream is saying. Escaping never works in the long term. Escape if you need to, but you'll ALWAYS have to return and face the problems. In fact, by the time you get back to face the problem, the problem has magnified. Face my issues, take a stronger stance in the things I can improve, identify how I'm escaping and stop it. It's go time...close down the portals and experience life fully and head on.
What was your feeling about the yellow being?
Personally, I really don't like the color yellow. It is probably the worst color for me to wear for sure.
In my two dreams, it was the advanced beings that were yellow. So that infers some paradoxical analysis. On the one hand, there's clearly intellect and wisdom, but there's also a sense of jealousy....they are advanced and I am not. They are always a level or two better than I am. Still searching for more analysis of yellow. It's definitely a trend in my dreams.
Nanny: did the lab happen to be extremely white?
No. It was sort of run down, and that's is also day residue. My current institution is a really old (almost-rehabbed) hospital. The device itself was pristine. It looked brand new. The imaging thing above the client's head was spotless and technologically advanced.
GG: But seriously, do you remember anything special about the beach?
You know, GG, I do remember a bit about the beach. I lived in Pensacola for years, and this setting was definitely not the Gulf coast. The sand was course and not white. But then again, it wasn't nearly as dirty as say S. Cali. It was in between super white beautiful beach and Myrtle beach's trashy, dirty sand. So south Florida is a strong possibility. Only a couple people were in beach ware. Everyone else was dressed for fall or spring (long pants and windbreakers).
Summary
I believe this dream was primarily personal, but there is a part of the dream that definitely seems like a warning for me and my emerging profession. I've always had suspicions of psychiatry, but I do believe this dream was notifying me that there is something much more bizarre that psychiatry is meddling with. Most likely it's not a time machine or space portal like my dream, but I do feel the need to get more knowledgeable on that periphery field. I think they are probably experimenting on military folks; after all, they've inflicted PTSD on so many millions of vets, there is most likely some new experimentation happening under the guise of helping the outbreak of trauma symptoms.
Thanks for all your inputs, it helps me digest this very important dream
