The Dream:




We were indoors exploring these shifting environments, my friend/lover Sarah Michelle Gellar and I.  As we explored the environments would change; from the familiar, my current apartment, to the foreign or strange; a hotel, then a flophouse, and finally another apartment, though that one resembled the assisted living communities I worked in.  Although the environments shifted there was continuity; everything was dimly lit, dingy, and there were red & black pentagrams and blood all over the floors and the walls, everywhere.  Naked and covered in blood, Sarah Michelle Gellar was also a witch and she remained close to me as we explored, it was very intimate.  For a while, we were exploring these rooms and compartments alone, but then people started appearing.  They didn’t enter the rooms through doors or anything like that, they more just manifested in space.  It didn’t feel strange though, it felt natural the way they just appeared.  After appearing, people would start using heroin and having sex.  Sarah Michelle Gellar didn’t want to use heroin, but in the end she did and afterwards it was fine.  There was no real narrative, just a shifting of environments and emotions; lust, longing, horror; and anxiety over the drug use.  I remember waking up puzzled and amused.

 Interpretation:


Lust and longing are driving forces in this dream.  Blood is symbolic of the soul and passion.  Specifically the eroticism of blood symbolizes passion for living.  Pentagrams are associated with the power of thought, creation, imagination, the unconscious, and untapped potential. The color red that appears in both the blood and the pentagrams is related to energy and lust.   The naked female form (Ms. Gellar) relates to sexuality as well as individuality and a longing for connectedness and nurturance.  With Sarah Michelle Gellar cast as a witch, she may be offering advice.  Drug use is associated with escapism and relinquishment of personal will, however, it is also a message to be more awake, more clear, and more focused.  Is there something that Sarah Michelle Gellar could be trying to tell you to be more awake, clear, and focused about in order to increase your feeling of connection?  Perhaps changing focus, ways of thinking, or employing some creativity will help you utilize untapped potential.
