Dream. Trap Fire Door
Two-part dream 10/7/24
In the first part, I was being held captive by three Asian men dressed in World War Two Japanese uniforms. They wanted me to help them close a steel door that reminds me of a safety fire door. They are installed in walls so that they will close when a fire melts the piece that holds them open. It keeps the fire from spreading to adjacent rooms.
I did not feel afraid of them. The door had slid into a slot, and they wanted me to pull it up and close it. I climbed onto a chair to get something to close it with and when I got down, I picked up the chair and pretend I was a lion tamer, swinging whatever it was over my head like a whip. They were real concerned and started yelling “No, no, no!” They were waving their arms and shaking their heads. They were afraid all of us would get in trouble weit their boss because I was making light of the situation.
I put the chair down and went over to help them. I could see that the door was to block of a long tunnel leading to the west. (Past) For me, this is an area I can explore in meditation.
Part two.
I am a maintenance man delivering a piano to a school. I am driving a 1970’s van and have the piano strapped to its top. I pull up to the front stairs, and I want to slide it down the front of the van to some other helpers. I climb on top of the van to unstrap it. Someone asks me to unload it off the driver’s side instead. A man is waiting below to help me. I give the piano a nudge, and it slides onto his shoulder, and he carries it into the school. I joke that if I knew you were that strong, I would have just tossed it down.
Next, I am walking past the east side of the school heading south so I can enter the school by a different door. I have to pass through the school yard, and it is filled with elementary children playing. Some of them have built a road with a small hill for their trucks to drive on. I am very careful not to step on their work and I have to veer to the west.
I cross a road back to the school to enter the different door…
I think the dream was to show me that I can trust my spiritual help to get me back on track.
The cool part is, three days after this dream we went to a grandson’s football game and I had to walk through an almost identical area where young children had built a road and a hill so they could play with their trucks. I had to veer to the west to make sure I didn’t disturb their roads.
Pretty cool way to get confirmation of help being supplied beyond my human abilities.
Symbol in the dream.
The three Asian men are symbolic of old beliefs that have held me captive. I don’t fear the change now, but they still influence me. “You don’t want to upset the boss.” It reminded me of what I see as an initiative dream. When my dream world first opened up for me, an Asian guide led me through a hidden door, and the next scene had to do with my religious beliefs. The chair and joking with my captors is that I saw my old boss using a lion tamers approach in dealing with people.
The fire door was in reference to the upcoming dream about silver flames and Germain. My old boss would want that door closed.
The different vehicle, an old van in the dream, speaks of a new journey. Unloading the piano differently than how I wanted to speaks to me about having patience. There may be a better way.
The piano is a common theme in my dreams it has to do with harmony and playing your own song. Speak your voice.
The children playing is youthful creativity, and for me not to disturb the opportunity of that being restored to my life.
To see the view of it as a premonition is just too sweet for words. It is confirmation that I am being helped by guides with strength beyond normal human capabilities. Carrying a piano on his shoulder.
Joking with the guide tells me to lighten up and enjoy the ride. I can just toss it to them. I am being well taken care of.
