The Dragon Says: "HELLO, WAKE UP!!!"

A woman telling her dream to me:

(Read it like a story if you want to learn to learn something)

"I took a coach to work. (Never do in real life) I was doing a professional observation of a colleague carrying out their work. To my mind they were doing everything wrong and I thought it was absolutely awful! I decided to tell myself that people approached things in different ways but I still found it challenging watching them do their job so badly. I decided to leave the room and get some fresh air.

I went outside and it was raining. A puddle had formed at the top of the street on a bend in the road. Suddenly I saw movement and a crocodile in the puddle. For some reason I told myself it was normal for there to be crocodiles at that point in the road. Someone on the path ran down the road in the middle to avoid passing the crocodiles and one of them just stuck it's head out and gobbled him up!

I was shocked but even more so when I realized the size of the crocodiles they were like giant crocodiless. Soon I realized they were terrorizing everyone and the more the rain fell the more appeared. The road was in trouble so I knew it was too late to get coaches arranged but we needed to evacuate and get everyone home.

I had to go up the crocodile road on my way home. A group of us went up the road on the far side to avoid the crocodiles but I told them how they could still reach us as we went past. One of my colleagues ridiculed me and ran past only to be eaten. While the crocodiles was dealing with them the rest of us used the diversion to leap over a gap in the hedge and run to building. It turned out to be a stadium/restaurant owned by some Italian people. As we were standing there negotiating being let in, to my amazement I saw a string of dinosaur heads bobbing past the hedge along the road down the hill, all different types of dinosaur. I pointed them out and the man quickly let us in.

We watched through an upstairs window as a stream of dinosaurs marched down the road following each other towards town. We soon realized that we should leave as more and more were arriving and soon we'd never be able to escape. Everyone wanted to get back to their families.

The Italians knew of a gap further up in the hedge in their field. They took us to the spot and we decided we all had to run together. We ran together to the stile but as the first person got there and looked over, they shouted back that it was too late. They turned to run but got tossed in the air and gobbled up. We realized we should run the opposite way across the field. As we turned to run someone ran screaming. I was saying no sound but it was too late all the dinosaur heads turned and their eyes drank us in. 

An Ankylosaurus crashed through the hedge swinging its club tail and lowering it's head to butt someone away and their body just flew through the air. We ran faster and faster, some people ran along the hedge and I called to them to run diagonally across the field as they'd be caught too easily. As they tried to change direction a couple of T-Rex's popped up and I wished I was further to my left like the other people ahead of me. The T-Rex ran up to one of my ex-colleagues and bend down and grabbed her head in his mouth, her face was turned towards me and he kind of paused everything went into slow motion and I saw shock, confusion, fear and disbelief on her face and then he crunched right through her. I kept running a fast as I could but T-Rex's were popping up everywhere and I knew they'd smell me out if I hid in a hedge so I tried to get to the woods as quickly as I could. The next thing I knew I heard footsteps behind me. I never got to see which type of dinosaur it was as everything went black."

My interpretation:

Okay everyone in the dream represents and aspect of yourself, so the dream could convey that you are not happy about how you do your work, you know you can do it better, but for some reason you are reluctant to take better action, reasons such as insecurities, self-confidence, worries, anxiety, lack of self-belief, depression etc could be hindering you from doing a better job - you have the potential to be successful, you just don't want to use it.

The fact that there was so many crocodiles and people involved means that you are not the only one, or not alone in this whole ordeal (crisis)...many people have suffered this indecision before you, it is thus normal...but also you have the resources to overcome this...it may look terrifying now, but the terror will all go "black" if you make a choice to Face it for what it is...to face it head on (and) to overcome it...the fact that you are being chased means that it is catching up on you and the sooner you deal with it the better, or else it would overtake you and leave you overcome and dejected.

Reptiles and Dragons could symbolize dark forces of self - which could be destructive but also constructive if you have learned to tame your inner demons, using them to you advantage instead of your disadvantage - - learn from them, the dream is basically saying -DO NOT FEAR THEM AND DO NOT SEEK TO RUN AWAY EITHER, JUST DEAL WITH IT, and come out a better person!

Also the two dream symbols - "restaurant" and "stadium", could mean that you have to take a big look at yourself...focus all attention on you, and feed your soul with affirmations of self-assurance.

The road symbolizes your life path...and the crocodiles your obstacles...the rain could symbolize blinding your sight by your own devices.

Don't get eaten, when you need to be fed with motivation!!!

The coach is you traveling deep down into your subconscious to issues that need to be resolved ASAP!!!

(The woman thanked me saying it was dead on, and I replied: "No it is I that should thank you, many times other people's dreams carry meaningful messages to others." ...as that is after all how the creative force works - sometimes through others to you...)
