It is daytime and I find myself in Venice in Italy.

I am accompanied by a woman who I instinctively and immediately know is my anima or feminine side I feel very positive that we are finally separate and can see one another in a detached way.

We have a mission to find two tombs which belong to two angels (a male and a female) buried in a tall tower in the ancient city.

We arrive at the waterside tower which looks a little like the leaning tower of Pisa only in my dream this tower is a convalescing hospital on the inside with elderly people sat about waiting to die.

I know that I have to find the vault of the male angel which is located somewhere down in the bowels of the tower and my feminine emanation has to go to the very top of the tower where she will find the sepulcher of the female angel.

I know that when we locate the final resting places of the angels it will be the inscriptions on the tombstones which will be important rather than the holy contents of each vault.

I’m aware that once found though our next challenge will be to decipher the inscriptions on the tombstones which in itself will be a very challenging task.

Additional Comments:

Thoughts: In this dream the north of the tower (reasoning?) being associated with the feminine, and then the southerly (instinctual?) being associated with the masculine seems to be very significant especially as regards my previous recurring dreams of such things and also particularly my dreams of Italy and all things Italian too. The fact that my anima completely detached her self from me and we could see one another as separate entities seemed very positive and was perhaps echoed in the polarity and separateness (but also still wholeness) of the top and bottom of the tower, something like the positive and negative polarity of a battery perhaps?

Daytime and in a vague rehashing of yesterday nights dream I find myself in a remote forested area which is inhabited by a band of wild Amazon like women scantily clad in cavewoman like furs and leathers.

The women wrestle me to the ground and pin me down and then proceed to hack and chop at me with rudimentary Stone Age poleaxes. The women in their frenzy eventually butcher me into lots of tiny pieces, regardless of my dismemberment I am in no pain and remain conscious throughout even after having been diced into cubes.

Regardless of the horror of this drama the actual atmosphere from within the dream is intensely positive and full of optimistic expectation and hope, the women who have taken me to pieces actually seem very friendly and I sense that they are doing me a favor somehow.

Additional Comments:

Thoughts: This is almost certainly a follow on from yesterdays dream and probably represents something of a symbolic psychological deconstruction. I’ve seen from past dreams that these being chopped or cut into pieces dreams (or being torn to pieces by wild animals dreams) often come in a series and may occur for a few night in a row before being resolved in a dream of reconstitution where the body and self is put back together again and made whole once more, only this time better than before.

It is daytime and I find myself outdoors on a grassy mountain top, the lay of the land here is full of dips, bumps and slopes and looks just like a mountain bicycle course.

I see my Mother over the way speaking with an aunt from my Dad’s side of the family, the aunt is telling my Mum that her uncle Gordon (no such uncle exists in reality, the name must be meaningful in some way I feel) has recently passed away. My Mum doesn’t seem at all compassionate to my aunt’s plight in fact she seems quite angry and cross and I sense a great deal of family tension and bitterness.

For my part I am casually and gently riding a mountain bicycle around the mountain top, I have just returned from an epic mountain bicycle marathon from which I emerged victorious, the winner and champion of the long drawn out competition.

As I contentedly freewheel leisurely around the natural rugged terrain I sense very much that my Mum and other family members very strongly want for me to do another marathon as they think that this will somehow help to resolve all of their family problems.

This is something I cannot do though as the previous marathon has brought me to a state of complete and utter exhaustion and I have no more energy to do it all over again, besides I don’t feel the need to enter into such another competition again as I proved myself and have achieved all that there is to achieve.

Additional Comments:

Thoughts: This is probably another slight anxiety dream about visiting family in the coming days but which perhaps also shows how I’m learning to rise above and move on from the petty squabbles and family divisions and concentrate on my own life.

Dream 2: NO coins – Daytime at work in the canteen and a portly work colleague comes over to me and asks me if I can change one coin of value 10 into two for him. I dip my hand into my pocket and take out two coins one of which is a perfect circle and the other a square with slightly rounded corners, the way the square coin sit to the left of the circular coin in the palm of my hand symbolically and abstractly look like the word ‘NO’. I realize the meaning of the coins and tell my colleague “No” and that I cannot change the coin for him, my reason for saying this is that I know that he wants the coins to use them to purchase unhealthy junk food snacks from the vending machine.
