Thread: Dream About Spending Three Years Trapped in Space With Two Mentally Deficient People

I was part of a four-man team sent 'up' for some unknown but apparently noble purpose.

In the dream, our home orbiting home was revealed to me as little more than a vacuum-sealed box with a roughly 20'x30' polished aluminum interior. The only notable features insider were a man-sized window adjacent to a corder, a small bed in the opposite and reverse corner, a stocked table-shelf next to the window, and the exit door opposite of the bed that resembled a walk-in freezer's.

It was implied in the dream that the UK Space agency managed to send up, in addition to myself and the other astronaut, one person who could not remain sane on the first day 'up' and a person who appeared to be mentally retarded pior the mission.
---

I'm not sure what led up to it, but the chronologically first event I remember was me standing with the second astronaut before the bed, observing the two liabilities. The retarded astronaut was not our concern as he rested on the bed and took the scene in quietly. Our friend with the recently lost sanity, however, had our attention. He was sitting upright on the bed, or crouching, or on all fours. I think we were trying to reason with him. We were being threated or felt like we would be if things continued as they had.

It became clear to us that he was lost and he was probability going to attack us soon, so the other astronaut walked casually over to the door and opened it briefly sucking most of the air from the room and into the essentially limitless void. The sudden drop in oxygen levels caused both of the liabilities to lose consciousness instantly.

At that point, it became increasingly difficult to breathe. I laid down on the bed next to the invalids and tried to remain calm to slow my heart-rate and breathing. The nameless other astronaut, who seemed almost unaffected by the near lack of oxygen, walked over to the shelf and produced a aerosol can, which, when sprayed, apparently released oxygen. Immediately, the situation was agreeable again and I stood up to regard the two invalids again alongside the other astronaut.

The scene faded then opened up to a terrestrial scene Three Years later. My team was exiting a landing shuttle, walking into a cheering crowd being showered with confetti. The insane one had his sanity restored somehow.

Back at the agency we were congratulated and shown some of the changes that occurred over the past three years: The black populations in the UK increased dramatically and the Space Agency had become very successful.

There were so many prospective black astronauts and other agency employees hanging about the agency that it made moving about the agency a bit difficult. They were all lounging about the palace-like interior wearing red-orange clothes. Many of them had large afros.

Background info:

I am a male in my early 20s who does not live in the UK nor do I aspire to be an astronaut. However, I do find outer-space intriguing, though I do not spend any significant amount of time in outers-space-related affairs.

Thanks for your help.

Although do-it-yourself dream interpretation is tricky, there is a technique that might work very well for you with this dream. You imagine yourself as each element of the dream and look for parallels in your life. For example, imagine yourself as the guy who goes insane. Does that remind you of anything about yourself or going on in your life? Then do that for everything, even the spaceship, if you think it will help. Eventually, you should gain some understanding of the dream.

If you want, I will help you read it at some time. Message me if you like.

That is a good method, Morning Angel. Let the dreamer do some work! Ha.

But I can't resist trying all the details:.

_________________________________
THE FIRST TIME FOR 4 MEN IN SPACE
Yes, the four-part team were all parts of you, which you recognised in yourself when you were sent 'up' on this journey beyond for a reason you apparently did not know, but was noble. I wonder if 'sent up' means you sought a higher meaning or something higher in your normal life. Normally going to outer space is the most courageous exploration for new discovery. It was far out, yet still orbiting your normal world.

Yet vacuum sealed sounds like you felt in a vacuum. Or that may be why it is outer space: you felt separated from the real world.
You felt boxed in, possibly cold, had a small view from here, some rest or peace, some resources or supplies within, near your outlook, and an exit should your peace go the opposite way, beyond which it sounds like your mission would freeze, much like in real outer space.

The reason for the Uk Space Agency is because there is no UK Space Agency.
That means it is a part of you that is not normally used, maybe not normally so bold and daring. But it seems it was needed now, and it was new to you.
______________
SPACE INSANITY
Part of you felt you could not remain sane on the first day in this venture - just like going into outer space might be.
Another part of you, apparently one quarter per part, felt retarded mentally already. Perhaps that came out just because of this 'mission,' but it's the part we all have.

Your sane half observed your 'insane' half.
Possibly what led up to it was just the obvious or necessity.
Ahh, the retarded you rested - that may be soley what the bed was for - while he observed but not participating.
But the part of you that recently lost sanity was the concern for you, for your sane half.
It was upright which seems right or normal, resorting to your animal nature, or in between the two. Threatened by it, you tried to reason with yourself.

____
LOST
It became clear to you that side was lost, and probably going to attack you soon, so the other sane quart of you, who was not the main you, casually 'abandoned ship' while everyone was still in there. He stopped the air or lifeline to your undesirable half.
Both of your liabilities lost consciousness instantly.
That seems a brilliant procedure on your part!!!!
____________
LOST, PART 3
....until it affected you too, because those two are you, too.
It became increasingly difficult for you to sustain yourself in this situation. You effectively became invalid yourself, while trying to remain calm, to conserve yourself.
The other good part of you, perhaps the casual strong hero-type, seemed almost unaffected. This was definitely the strong part of you who acted and took control. Fascinating.
He utilised your resources you already had and gave you a new lease of life and strength and energy.
Immediately, the situation was agreeable again and you, revived, stood up to regard the two invalids again, which you had risen above and unbecome, alongside the hero you.

Brilliant dream. **** out of *****. (That's four stars our of five, not shit out of *uck, or anything, ahah)

Oh, it's not finished yet. Does it ever end????
__________
FINAL ACT:
This part of your experience ended.

Then either you thought 3 years ahead, or your experienced seemed so long, or it is 3 years ahead (most unlikely), when you now are back to earth, to your normal reality.
You were cheering yourself, being congratulated, for your return.
The insane part of you had his sanity restored, ha, somehow. You were now back to sanity, out of your separated box. Stronger than normal before, after surviving hell.

Now you officially debriefed yourself, with congratulations, you saw some of the changes that occurred in you over that long time.
I gather, because a dream is usually only about the day's experience, those 3 years mean it seemed so long a journey and time away from home, from yourself.
But in that long time, the minority in yourself, the undertrodden or disadvantaged part of you, indeed the dark part of you, perhaps the prejudiced, in this foreign area increased dramatically, and the organisation you had behind your venture had become very successful. It all worked out well, after your risk of insanity.

There were so many prospective opportunities you saw in yourself for your undeveloped aspects, now you had come out into the light at the end of the black tunnel.
Many other ways you could employ your newfound ability and resource, to survive such a thing. Wow, love this dream.
You felt so crowded by your abundance of inspiration and ideas, it made moving a bit difficult.
You were lounging about the rich interior of yourself like a king, I suppose.
'Many of them had large afros' is a crack-up. Very funny, that image. Of course the afro is the signature hair-do of the black man, representing again your 'minority' self.

You know, I am thick as a brick, because I just had a minor revelation, that the four aspects of your spaceship represent the four aspects of your character:
1: a man-sized window adjacent to a corder (corridor?). = your normal observing self, perhaps which could choose to go another way.
2: a small bed in the opposite and reverse corner = Opposite and reverse of that, your small retarded self that just wanted to lay down and rest.
3: a stocked table-shelf next to the window = the resourceful you, next to your view.
4: the exit door opposite of the bed that resembled a walk-in freezer's = the insane you and opposite even of the retard, that will exit or run. The retard just rests, passively. This is the active retard, opposite.

====================

So, maybe overall the dream is simply about how you felt in normal life, locked in a box in a vacuum, but after a specific cause you embarked upon, even if just within.
