So I had this dream that wasn't very long in reality but felt like it took all night and it started out that I was in my front yard on the porch. It was also in first-person.

Usually there is a window taking up most of the wall next to the front door, but, instead there was just wall and on top of the wall was a giant piece of white paper taped at the top. I knew that I had to  draw something on the wall and I had a paintbrush with black paint in my right hand. Around my wrist and waist was a chain that was attached to the metal door. I felt very sad and the weather was cold and gray with calm wind at first.

After I started to paint on the paper the weather got worse. The wind would kick up and howl in my ear and since the paper was taped to the wall only at the top I had to try and hold it down to paint. About 3 dream minutes later the wind got to the point of pinning me against the wall for minutes at a time, I was very scared at this point and tried to open the door but it was locked.

Then another gust of wind slammed me but this time grabbed my body off the ground trying to pull me away. I held the chains as long and hard as I could until they broke and I flew back very fast and landing in a forest kind of place and intuition told me that I had to return to the house and I woke up just as I stood up and started to walk.


I'm very interested to see what you guys might think.

Strong,gusty winds represent turmoil and stress so would the winds while I'm drawing suggest that I feel stressed about my art career?

I also checked out tornado, and it said that I feel out of control...

Hi Emerald Wings!

First I'd like to address two postings of different dreams within one thread. If you could please copy and paste the other dream into a new thread it will prevent confusion for those interpreting and answering what each dream means for you.

Now on to your dream!

You are chained to your door and you now you "have" to paint on a wall where normally there is a large picture window. The house represents current life, the missing window represent an obstruction of view. The fact that you felt you have to paint would be indicative of an obligation or perhaps a force obligation. In fact you are bound by chains to make sure you don't go anywhere and get the job done. We have weather that is cold and grey and you are painting with the colour black which would suggest a "meh" or a "blah" attitude. Lastly, this tumultuous wind comes and annoys you by flipping your paper and not keeping it steady, pinning you to a wall and as this wind threatens you you try to get inside but the door is locked (restrictions) then it kicks up takes you away and suddenly tosses you out to the forrest. Your intuition told  you you needed to get back home.

Based on this dream I would say it has nothing to do with actual painting or your art career, but what I like to call growing pains. In this dream it is obvious and it screams you are a teenager based on the symbols of the dream. What it means is you feel confined, limited, restricted, forced, inconvenienced and your environment is oppressive. I'd say with life in general if you were an adult but at your age, I am leaning more towards it is mom and dad. Been there, done that, wrote the book    Every kid worth his salt has experienced these feelings, mom and dad are unfair, they don't understand and they are being sooooo unreasonable! But then you have this reminder in your dream the wind wins, it is stronger than you and it has its final say by forcefully taking you elsewhere no matter how hard you resist. The winds are the powers that be, the powers that be are your parents or guardians (those who are responsible for and take care of you). But, they do know best and have your best interests at heart; everything they do is for your benefit and to protect you... not because they live to give you a hard time. Certainly not because they don't want you to have fun, but because they were once your age too and they understand all too well the ins and outs of what goes on and they want to keep you safe within reason.

I hope this has helped

Again, sorry. I will have to put them separate.

First of all I'd like to thank you for taking the time to interpret my dream. Thanks! ;D

As for the whole parents are unfair and they don't understand me--well, I'd have to say the exact opposite of that assumption. My father passed 8 years ago and since then I have gotten more close to my mom ever. Yeah, honestly my mom doesn't really understand suicidal tendencies but that is only because she had never felt that way. She told me so. plus I am past that period.

Who knows maybe that is what my dream is telling me, maybe not. That I have to ask myself.


But again, THANK YOU! :)

Hey Em!

I'm sorry you lost your dad, although I am glad your relationship with your mom is rock solid.

Hmmm... now I'm scratching my forehead wondering what it is where you do feel confined, restricted, limited, obliged, etc...
But ultimately, what that is is something you would be able to figure out better than I would.  

Anyway, I'm moving at a snails pace today and I have get my butt in gear and head out for the day.  Have a good one
