Last night’s dream seemed to revolve around the idea of “the screw,” though not entirely. It began with an intimate scene: a young woman with unusual physical strength and likely in her early twenties with light brown hair, reached toward me from the edge of a bed, signaling closeness. Her posture alone suggested a strong intent for physical intimacy, expressed in a way that was unilateral, she wanted to give pleasure orally, but not receive even though I was well positioned to reciprocate simultaneously.
The setting was peaceful, bathed in an amber glow that even radiated from her body. The moment was brief, and then I woke up. “What she did felt good!”
Emotions & Mood: Calm, physically satisfied. Upon waking, I felt happy.
Key Symbols & Characters:
- Young Woman: Represents vitality, intimacy, and possibly emotional needs that will be met down the line.
- Amber Glow: Symbol of precognition.
- Bed: Vulnerability and closeness.
Interpretation: This dream feels like it’s partly about an inner longing for connection and appreciation without having to jump through hoops or be the one to always initiate intimacy. But I do need to note that the amber glow to everything signals this is a precognitive dream about a potential encounter pending. However, given recent history with this marker I would have to say that this dream coming even fractionally true is only a moderate possibility.
The young woman’s desire to give without receiving? That certainly could point to my craving for simplicity in relationships or a moment where I don’t have to be concerned about giving back; just experience care without strings attached. “What a novel idea!”
Visions and Dreams Part 2: I was focused on a practical task, repairing my K380 keyboard, which had loose screws and a missing keycap. My father appeared, repeatedly offering tools that were clearly unsuitable for the job. His insistence and commentary carried an undertone of displeasure, particularly about my refusal to host him and his partner. I ignored most of his complaints and eventually located the correct tool, a Phillips head screwdriver, on a kitchen table in an apartment that felt like mine in the dream but not in reality. The table was covered with various screwdrivers, all Phillips head. I don’t know who the sixty-year-old brown-haired woman with glasses was at the table, but she said nothing during this whole dream.
As I worked, Dad kept talking, and his words were definitely dishonest. His irritation grew when I made it clear I wasn’t buying into his narrative.
After finishing the keyboard repair, I moved into a dimly lit living room where REO Speedwagon’s Roll with the Changes was blasting from Alexa speakers. At that point, I was searching for something related to domain name registration, a physical tool.
When I asked Dad where he put it, he handed me tin snips. I returned them, explaining I needed something entirely different, something resembling a foot-measuring device. Communication was difficult over the music, so I suggested stepping into the hallway.
The hallway had medium-toned wood paneling and white tile flooring. My apartment door faced another across the hall, and a solid white brick wall stood to the left, leaving only a rightward exit.
Dad and I stood at our end of the hallway with an arm around each other, his height noticeably greater than mine. I rested my head against his chest as we observed a woman wheeling a large green dumpster into an elevator. A strong septic odor drifted toward us as she disappeared inside.
I softly remarked on the smell as the dream faded. Upon waking I had a lingering thought. “Was this a symbolic warning of another impending loss in the family?”
Throughout the dream, I felt my patience tested, Dad’s persistent misdirection and dishonesty wore on me. Yet, in the final moment, leaning against him, I felt a wave of sadness as the woman and dumpster vanished from view.
Emotions & Mood: Frustration, impatience, determination, sadness. Upon waking, unsettled and reflective.
Key Symbols & Characters:
- Father: Central figure, his dishonesty and misdirection reflecting real-life mistrust.
- Keyboard & Loose Screws: Communication issues or something in life needing repair. K380 equals 13 in Numerology too, which indicates a powerful weather event pending. If the new pattern holds true, there will be at least one more follow up dream to confirm.
- Phillips Head Screwdrivers: finding the right tool for the job but also maybe a sex symbol. This is also a recurring dream symbol of late.
- Tin Snips vs. Domain Tool: Misaligned support.
- Hallway: Transition between life phases or mental states.
- Green Dumpster & Septic Odor: Waste, decay, endings; cleaning out.
- REO Speedwagon’s “Roll with the Changes”: Suggests a need for adaptability and acceptance.
Interpretation: This dream feels largely like a reflection of my relationship with Dad. The wrong tools and lies point to the frustration and mistrust I feel regarding the man in reality, an acknowledgement of the fact that I’ve more than likely been sabotaged by him in a multitude of ways since the beginning.
Fixing the keyboard could symbolize trying to repair communication or stabilize our relationship. Searching for a domain registration tool makes me think of platforms from which one can communicate with others. You can’t run a blog or website without a proper domain name.
The hallway scene feels heavy: closeness with Dad mixed with sadness as the dumpster disappears. That septic smell, it’s hard not to see it as a sign of endings or decay. Maybe I’m bracing for change or loss in the family. The song playing, “Roll with the Changes”, almost feels like advice: accept what’s coming, even if it’s uncomfortable.
