Thank you to all the people who suggested music overnight - I will check it out this evening at home, since I shouldn't be downloading here at work. :D

Had a dream last night involving

chomiji...

It was set in a very small Caribbean ocean. Very small because it was more like a small lake, because you could see all the islands. Sort of like a larger version of the lake-with-teeny-islands in Okami. Or maybe like the islands off the coast in the same game, actually.

chomiji and her family were on a ship that capsized. They were fine, though, and by the time I got over there, the tide had gone out - which is how I know it was an ocean and not a lake, besides that fact that by dream logic, it was an ocean :D - exposing the tops of some more small islands, so they'd gotten over to one. Then we traveled to another one - I'm not really sure how - and dug up buried treasure, and then the dream ended with wanting to bury it again and arguing over whether it should go into one of the smaller islands, where it would be easier to find again when we wanted it, or a larger island, where it would be harder to find exactly which spot it was buried, but other people might find it.

Yeah, so it wasn't spectacular. XD Except that I then dreamed I woke up and was telling

chomiji the dream. And then I really woke up, because my alarm went off.

I'm going to have to have sharp words with my unconscious if it's traveling about visiting yours at night wihtout permission.

My favorite dream toy had this to say about the symbols:

Bury A burial may reflect the suppression of certain personality traits.

Island Islands often symbolize the beliefs and ideas that separate you from others.

Lake A lake is a usually picture of your feelings and current emotional state.

Ocean The ocean is a symbol of the feminine, emotional, and deep aspects of life.

Ship Ships usually represent the collective state of a group or partnership.

Heh. They only analyze 5 symbols for free, so we don't get to see what they think "treasure" means. I imagine we can guess why the ship had capsized. I'm glad to see that you had us find an island!

In the dream, because I sometimes get meta-commentary, I think I was a bit worried that it would be one of those panicking anxiety dreams, but that was the point the tide started going out and the islands - which were mostly white sand. XD And quite small - like, 15-20 feet in diameter for the smallest. :D

The next dream was something about visiting my grandparents house and forgetting to pack any toiletries, so I had to go buy toothpaste and toothbrushes and such. XD

Ah - dreammoods.com says:

Treasure Chest

To see a treasure chest in your dream, represents your hidden talents. It also represents a sense of security and belonging. You are content with where you are in a situation or relationship.

To dream that you are looking though the treasure chest, suggests that you are trying to recapture something valuable from your past.

Treasures

To dream that you find treasures, signifies that you have unveiled some hidden skill or talent.

To dream that you are burying treasure, suggests that you are thinking ahead to the future.

Argument

To dream that you are arguing, suggests that you are trying to resolve some internal conflict or some unsettled issue in your waking life. Consider the symbolism of whom you are arguing with and what you are arguing about. How does he or she reflect some person or soma aspect of yourself in your waking life?

Except that I then dreamed I woke up and was telling chomiji the dream. And then I really woke up, because my alarm went off.

This always really freaks me out...not that I dream about chomiji, but the wake up and really wake up part...often, it's all i remember.

Half the time it's actually a relief, because the first time I wake up, I'm often dreaming that I'm running late for something. :)
