I am at my house with my partner and my father.  We have returned from holidays.

We see a jet airliner fall from the sky and crash at the bottom of the hill from our large house.  My instant reaction is to go and save the survivors.  I suggest this to my father and we start to head out despite the objections of my partner who fears for my safety.

We manage to save some people.  The dream skips to a village.  I see the spirit (not spirit looking - looks solid / non-transparent) of an old crone who died in the plane crash.  She is walking towards me and looks 'scary' but I feel no fear.  I only feel compassion and wish to help her in whatever way I can.

The dream then skips to my father and I going to our large house.  There is a contingent of some sort of real estate people at the house.  They have a laptop and display a 3D model of what our house should look like according to them.

My father is outraged that they have a model of our house without our knowledge and is in a huff, where I am more curious about how they made the model.  Also I note that their data is old, there has been a lot of vegetation grown around the house since the model was made, and our furniture is different.

Hey Rook,

First of all, a house, whether that of your parents, an unknown house, or your own... it usually represent your internal "housing". A house = you, with all the different chambers and indicates what or where something's going on. It's a symbol that is the most important topic and almost ever-present feature in the dream, so this dream would be about you and what's happenng inside you.

The second most important feature in your dream is the plane crash. Planes are about reaching new insights (high level ones), having your life taken into a new direction, transitioins (transit zones), plans taking off, etc... In this case, thing come crashing down. For plan(e)s to crash down perhaps your goals were too high and unrealistic, or maybe you lack the belief that you can do what you set yourself to do.

Your instant reaction is too salvage what's left of the goals and plans. The caring part of you (your partner) wants you to let go, thinks it's dangerous for you to even consider what's left of your goals, wants you to forget about the whole thing and move on... whereas the authoritive part of you (the father) supports you in checkng what you can save. You do end up saving what's valuable from the goals and plans that crashed down, and to do so would save either other lives or parts of yourself.  

You also face what you cannot save anymore... the crone. You mention her as one of those who died. But the crone is a symbol of death and wisdom. So to see her as dead and as crone is a repitive meaning of her actual meaning. In a nutshell, you know full well what you lost, what plans and goals you cannot salvage. And you are wise to let them go. The feelings you desribe towards her make me think that you feel sympathy for your previous self that wanted to reach those goals, but love yourself enough to let them go.

Now we finally get to learn about your present self, your housing. Apparently some people wish to promote you, do some PR for you, to sell you (the real estate people), in a positive sense. They're using the latest technology and try to show you off in the most advvanced way, but they don't believe you're there yet. They try to advize who you should be.

Your inner authoritive protector is insulted by this... feels as if it's not their bussines, and they invade your privacy. It's not up to them to "remodel" you, or go poking in every room of you and reshape it.

But another part of you is just plain curious about their suggestions... maybe their advice can be helpful, and you're fascinated by the fact that these strangers seem to know so much about you. This neutral and open curiosity comes from a realization they mean well. And so, when you observe their proposals and data they used to make a model of you, you're able to see that some of it is outdated, based on the past. You have already changed outwardly and inwardly. Outwardly life has grown about you, is healthier (the grown vegetation), and inwardly you already feel different about yourself, your family and how you relate to others (furniture).

Hope this helped

I could see this aligning with what I am doing at work at the moment.  I feel like I am still in the process of the plane crash though.  I feel on the edge of a knife in terms of achieving a deadline.  There may be trouble, hence I am quite stressed, the most stressed I have been in a long time, and I have gone through a few stresses...

But at the same time I am doing something that hasn't been done before.  I am ta'veren to steal Robert Jordan's term (in a local office sense).  I am still saving some of the people in this case (its what I am doing right now, but it takes long for my program to process stuff).  What I am doing is shifting the program we use to produce production maps to my product (which is more spatial analysis associated), basically because this is the way of the future ie I am capable of making maps to publication standard using my platform, which has pros over the traditional way of doing things.  I have a tight deadline, and considering it is the first time we have done it have had many unforseen setbacks.

At the same time I have been acting in a management role and have had to deal with all the obscure queries we get.  *pants*

This is the caring nurturing side saying, dude, forget about it.  My old way of dealing with stress was to pretend what was causing it wasn't there, but that has shifted to what we see here, which is to confront the issues and 'salvage what I can' should things go bad I guess.  I like to pretend I am a hero saving the day, but to be honest only a select few people would notice should I fail in this task me thinks.  Yet it is blown out of proportion in my mind, like a plane crashesque tragedy.

The crone... wisdom + death... is walking towards me.  I am not afraid of it.  Just sympathetic.  I am not afraid of the end of the project deadline which is looming.  I am sympathetic that it may not be met, yet I know I am making that hero effort to save the day.  I am proud of myself regardless of whether or not the plane crashes.  That said, I intuitively feel that is not all this crone represents.

Going onto the real estate agent, I was requested by my manager, in light of all that I have been through with this project, to apply for a temporary vacancy at a higher level to set up a project to complete this transfer of systems in a more organised and official manner (as opposed to throwing me in the deep end which is basically what has happened).  This is sort of like the advanced technology, and I would personally want to extend the role to setup a project to standardise how our section undertakes 3D modelling projects, which is kinda clear.  I would have said before that I didn't have the ability to take on that kind of role, but now I feel more capable in this area.  That said I would say I am still a 'rook'ie at project management - lots to learn.  I feel underestimated by most people because I am young-looking hence they underestimate my age.  But my manager is certainly very PR type lady.  Very into promoting, and has in the past tried to nudge me to try to advance my career (although to be honest I am pretty happy where I am - this nudging occured immediately after my last promotion).

Anyhow I get the feeling this is what the dream is most likely talking about.  Still feel that there are some holes here I am not seeing though.

Thanks SweetSunRay, certainly has helped.

Cheers,
Rook

Crones are linked to deep occult knowledge of beginnings and endings. They've lived through a whole life, gave life and survived men, and yet they cannot create life anymore. They've seen it all, and all they're facing is death coming eventually. They can give gifts to protect a hero on their journey, but the gift can turn against the hero if he doesn't heed the accompanying warning and use it badly.

Maybe these aspects might ring a bell for you

It's funny you should mention the crone as an occult symbol.  Previously I was curious about the occult, which is sort of what lead me on a round-about journey to dream interpretation / Jungian psychology.  I was considering doing an intensive study of it, but in the end it all simply didn't sit right with me.  I have thought of looking back to it to see what insights I can take away from it, without necessarily being a 'believer'.

I suppose if I were to go back searching for pearls then the crone is acting as a warning about using this knowledge in the correct manner.
