Thread: pulling my teeth out, blood everywhere

I was with my friends josh and bob. We are in Josh’s house and he wants to go hunting. Both Josh and Bob have bags, about a quarter each. We load a bunch of cheap beers into our pockets, natural ice I think, and head out to the woods around back. I remember passing an abandoned car on an old path. It was filled with all kinds of junk. Josh said that the car is where he sleeps when he stays out overnight in the woods. I didn’t know if he was being sarcastic or not, I didn’t ask. We continue through the woods and come upon a ravine. It was quite a steep drop-off. Josh gets a running start and attempts to jump it. He pushes off and jumps so far through the air that he ends up way off his mark and lands hanging from a telephone wire. He scurries back and forth on the wire like a squirrel looking for a lost nut. He wants to find a way down but cant. There are state employees working on the telephone polls but they don’t help Josh. I think that if we had a blanket we could stretch it out and let Josh drop onto it. There is no blanket. Josh is right above me and about to drop. He let’s go and all 200lbs are on there way down. I attempt to catch him but instead just end up breaking his fall. He has knocked my four front teeth loose and blood is pouring from my mouth. I take off through the woods back towards the house. I am pulling my loosened teeth out along the way. I am holding all four teeth in my hand, the blood is still running like a faucet. I have no dental insurance, how will I get my teeth fixed I’m thinking to myself. I come upon a couple in the woods. Apparently they are old flames reuniting. He is a bald man from England and She is a beautiful brunette a few inches taller than him. I stand there bleeding, holding my teeth in my hands, watching them profess their love for one another. Awake.

My guess is that Josh got in trouble with the law and you took a fall for him to get him out. Perhaps you lied for him, and maybe got in trouble for it too.

Hi my_reflection,

A rich dream indeed. Here my sensations about that.

It seems that Josh pushed you towards an adventurous but dangerous path (I would say a relationship that is not totally accepted by you). But at the first difficulty, you two do not jump together to overcome the obstacle: Josh make a jump that is also a sort of show-off of his powers. He doesn't hold your hand to let you overcome the obstacle together; he make the jump just by himself. From this point, your relationship seems to break up and you're wounded.

The State employess working are the institutions, the rules. They represent the obstacle and you do not want to overcome the fence of the rules, as Josh does. I think that Inspirer had a good insight about that.

It is also a dream about your lucid dreaming experience. Josh flies like a lucid dreamer, but it is caught by a wire. It is like you don't trust his understanding of lucid dreaming and you don't believe in his ability to follow you in this deep experience. Josh becomes heavy, he cannot sustain a lucid dream like you. And this is a wound for you (the blood), since you cannot establish a real and deep link with him.

The couple that you meet in the forest is an alternative way to see love: the couple is in the forest/love not to do exceptional things, but to say just romantic words. Some part of you is saying that to establish a long and profound relationship, you do not need to do exceptional things, like fly. Just love.

The two seems also connected to your parents: another form of rules, but more familair and reassuring.

As to the number four (the broken teeth are four), I don't know exactly its meaning. You can focus on this number and it can say you more.

Just impressions to hopefully help your personal interpretation.
