THE DREAM:
In the beginning of my dream, I was 10 years old. I was in a house that I
did not recognize, and it was necessary to find a 1908, 1909 and 1927 "wheatback"
penny. The house that I was in had a time portal that I had to use to get to
a location where these pennies could be found, but the doorway was guarded
by a lion. A friend of mine, also 10 years old, helped devise a plan to fool
the lion so that I could slip through the portal. The plan consisted of food
and running very fast to a place of hiding until the lion was otherwise
engaged. It worked. I slipped through the portal and found myself in a type
of convention room filled with glass showcases of coins. I found a showcase
I was interested in and told the guy behind the counter that I needed to
find the three pennies listed above. He just looked at me silently. Finally,
I asked him (rather rudely), "Are you going to give me pennies to look at or
not?" He handed over a pouch of pennies, grumbling that he didn't make any
money from the pennies. I dumped them out on the glass surface and began
going through them. It took a bit, but I found the 1908 "wheatback" penny.
Switching pouches, I began going through another pile of pennies looking for
the other two. A man came up, sat down next to me and began helping me sift
through, but I pulled the pile away from him and glared until he went away.
After I'd found the 1909 wheatback penny, I found myself in a different
house with The Night Watchman and we were suddenly the age we are now. We
had to get to the upstairs to get the pennies I'd found as the house was on
fire. We managed to get the two pennies and, as we were leaving, I
discovered some bins like are seen in a record store with 45 records all
catalogued by date. I found 1927, realizing that it wasn't a penny that I
needed for that year. Instead, it was a 45 record done by Peggy Sue Hudson.
I woke up. Note: The first wheatback penny was made in 1909 so, in reality,
the 1908 should have been an indian head penny, not a wheatback.
INTERPRETATION: At the age of 10, I had moved from a
house I'd lived in since I could remember to a new house that was
unfamiliar. My bedroom in the new house had the door to the attic which was
my "escape" place. The lion was my father who tried very hard to keep me
little and did not allow me much freedom. It was my father I had to slip
past to enter the time portal which is significant as my life. I never left
the time portal within my dream which means that I am still within it. The
pennies, when adding up the years, come to 911. This is not significant to
the disaster 911, but to 911 as the emergency number to call when in
trouble. In the dream, upon searching for the pennies, someone tried to help
me and I pushed them away - finding the pennies on my own. This, too, is
significant as I have dealt with life pretty much on my own, wanting no help
from anyone. Once I found two of the pennies, I stashed them away safely for
34 years (from 10 in the dream to my age now) until knowledge of a fire
where I had stashed them made me (with The Night Watchman) go to rescue
them. Upon rescuing them, I came across the last "penny" which really wasn't
a penny at all as I'd thought, but a 45 record. So, in essence, this dream
was sharing with me the fact that my entire life has been an emergency. I've
never been able to relax or stop striving to do everything on my own. Upon
finding the 45 record, I realized that what I'd been searching for wasn't at
all what I thought it was - I'd been looking for the wrong thing for 34
years! In the dream, I found the missing piece of the puzzle (the 45 record)
which tells me that I've found the last piece of the puzzle in "real life"
too, but I may not be recognizing it for what it is. It also shares that the
"emergency" is complete because of finding that last piece which should
allow me to begin relaxing. I did not find the missing piece alone, but
found it with The Night Watchman - another significant part letting me know
that it is okay to allow someone to help me now. |
