Day of July 31st, 2011

Dream:

I am a part of a team that is helping take down a terrorist that is trying to blow up a stadium full of people.  If you have seen the show "The Mentalist" then you know how this dream is going to go down.  Patrick Jane (from the show) is there and is doing some elaborate and showy way of taking the guy down.  I am supposed to be helping him, but I am so freaked out from the explosive that I run away and land on an elevated set of stairs.  I start crying, while Jane continues on with his show and I am terrified that it will go wrong and we will all die from an explosion.

Interpretation:

In my dream mood's website, a bomb threat indicates: To dream of a bomb threat, suggests that you are experiencing some inner anger and/or pressures which are on the verge of exploding into violence.

This is quiet amusing to me since I am SOO not an angry person.  I'm not sure what pressure I am experiencing other than the normal finances and budgeting fun, but there must be something there, just not sure what as of yet. 

The dream mood website also says: To dream that you are in or part of a crowd, suggests that you need some space for yourself. You need solitude to reflect on a situation and recharge your energy. Consider also the familiar phrase of "going along with the crowd" which implies conformity and lack of individuality.  Perhaps you feel that your own opinion doesn't count or matter. Alternatively, dreaming of a crowd means that you need to incorporate the various aspects of the crowd into your own persona.

Am I craving some alone time?  Needing to get away from things?  Possibly.  There are many times I feel like I am going and going, but not really getting anywhere. Getting some time on my own is not really an option right now, and that maybe what I am getting frustrated about (subconsciously) Overall though, I am truly happy with my husband, my daughter, and the fact that we are giving life the best of our ability.     

Night of July 29th, 2011

Dream: 

James and I are in a hotel room.  Our daughter Sydney is not with us, so I am assuming we are having a night to ourselves.  The hotel room is not the best, looking pretty dingy.  While we are getting ready for bed, I see a shell crawling up the wall and freak out.  I tell James to look, and he grabs it and throws it on the bed.  He then proceeds to look in the shell and there are two gigantic spiders inside that are mostly dead.  I'm freaking out in any way possible, and James takes the spiders and throws them out of the window.

The next morning we are heading out and happen to be back in Salt Lake.  We see so many new faces there but there are a few familiar ones.  We feel out of place.  

Interpretation:

After looking up "bug" in a dream dictionary, I found this: To see a bug in your dream, suggests that you are worried about something. It is symbolic of your anxieties and/or fears. What is literally bugging you? Consider also the popular phrase "bitten by the bug" to imply your strong emotional ties or involvement to some activity/interest/hobby.

This makes a lot of sense considering what my family is going through right now.  I am struggling to find a job, my husband's dad has to go to a nursing home even though he really can't afford it, and my husband is trying to finish up his master's degree ALL at the same time.  Time is stressful right now for us.

The being out of place in Salt Lake is very obvious to me; we are currently looking at the next place where we are to live since we do not want our daughter going to school here in Nevada.  We don't know where yet, and that uncertainty is showing up in this form of dream.
