So, I had this dream a while ago, but I never really thought about what it could have meant, so I figured I would post it and find out anything of what other people could tell me. I don't really know where I was to begin with. I know that I walked through large wooden french doors. Like something that would have come out of something out of the 1700s maybe. I walked through the door and I came to a pool area, but this wasn't just any pool. The room looked like it was straight of the 1400s or so. The floor was stone, the ceiling was like a moon roof or a greenhouse type ceiling, there where candles sconces on the walls and they where all lit. The moon was big in the sky and I would think that it was about mid-night or so. The room was quite beautiful. I walked through the doors and stopped at the edge of the pool, but this pool was not full of water. It was full of blood. It didn't freak me out or anything. As a matter of fact, I felt like it was the normal thing. As I was watching the pool I started to see ripples like there was something swimming toward me. As I continued to watch the ripples stopped around the five foot to four foot area and out came the most beautiful girl I have even seen. She was walking toward me in the pool. She was completely nude, long dark hair, green eyes, white in race. She motioned me to come and join her in the pool and that is when I woke up. I remember waking up and feeling like the dream was the most erotic thing that I have ever dreamed before and quite frankly I didn't want it to end. I was just wondering what people thought about it and your opinions on it.
I'm guessing the red blood was a metaphor for passion. Your dream is most likely escapist fantasy. Enjoy!
It kind of reminds me of the movies Queen of the Damned. All that I can think of that it reminds me of is a dark erotic fantasy that lingers in my subconscious. I would think that everyone has something that's dark in them.
You're quite right. The question is whether this dream speaks of something that belongs in darkness, or of something whose time has come to come into the light. Blood can be a gory mess involving violence and death, or a vampire's midday snack, or a vital life force that empowers passion, among other things. Whether blood is "good" or "bad" depends on the situation. What are your own free-associations to "pool of blood"?
Ultimately, your dream's meaning is personal to you because its symbols are personal to you. Dream dictionaries such as the one on this site can give you some clues as to what things like "blood" and "naked" might mean; but there are few symbols that are in themselves totally "good" or totally "evil". There's a personal element there: "pool of blood" might mean something entirely different to you than to me. Is it the pool of blood of a horror movie, or does it represent a life force that empowers passion, courage ... or something else entirely? Just as examples, we speak of "cold blooded", "hot blooded", "anemic", ... again, what comes to your mind? Play around with symbols like blood, dark hair/green eyes, and see what you come up with. What this dream means is highly personal to you. Also, have you had any subsequent dreams that might relate to this one?
In all honesty I have come to find blood in it's physical form quite enjoyable. The color, taste, smell, and texture of it. Though I have been called weird or even thought of as a vampire, it would not surprise me that I would have a dream about something that no meaning at all other then the way that blood in the physical world makes me feel. So, I would have deduced that there isn't much to read into this dream except for the physical meaning. As far as the female that come from the pool. I would think that is was nothing more then something that would come from my desires, whether you think it to be dark or light is clearly your own deduction. I would think that this dream is both light and dark sided. People would find that blood be a dark thing because it would come from the death of life, but being it would seem to be a symbol for life it could even have a light side thought to it. I have had the same dream a few times, but not to resent.
Well, if your dreams are like mine, they just love ambivalence! "Dark" and "light" - raven-haired and blonde - can also have highly personal meanings; and beware falling into the trap that dark = bad and blonde = good. Again, it's your personal associations that count. The same with eye color. Your reaction to this dream - beyond the fact that you were understandably sorry to see it end - might have been subtly different had The Lady been a blue-eyed blonde. Again, do some associations and see what you come up with. Finally, as someone with some experience of dream women, I'll tell you that you'll never fully "understand" this woman any more than you would a "real" woman. If this were my dream, I'd be asking myself, "Where is this leading me? Where are my thoughts going (other than to the obvious? What might come of this seduction?" It's sheer speculation; but you might learn something about yourself - maybe even set the stage for another encounter! Sometimes - to my mind, most of the time, the experience of a dream is more important than analysis. How is this dream changing you? What are you learning about yourself? Your psyche?
Thank you BobW. I will take your words in consideration. If there is anyone else that would like to comment on the dream or give any other opinion I would like to hear anything that you would have to say.
