"I find myself walking along a hidden path through the woods chasing after a type of feminine, shadowy figure as I reach the end of the path I see a shack town filled with mist. I'm still chasing this dark, female figure as I follow her into a large dark mansion. Just as I enter the large ball room that she is in I her banging at the door. I run to lock the door and hold it shut but my feet are dragging unable to run at full pace. I grasp the lock on the door and am in a struggle to lock it. The door shakes and I begin to tremble as it burstes open and a dark mist fills the room and I immediately awaken."
In this excerpt of my dream journal there is a specific emphasis upon darkness and being lost. As a side note I was a senior in highschool during this time and was going through the struggle of finding and choosing which college to go to. These can be connected through a shallow bond such as the forest being my confused lost time of not knowing which college to attend and the fear of being over taken by failure. According to one of my most beneficial dreams books Know Your Dreams, Know Your Self
this ghost-like figure that I was following can be seen as a representation of my past. Therefore the hidden message I can learn from following it could be that I must look into my past experiences and even my own personality to decide which college would be right for me. In comparison to the dark, black mist that enters into the room, this can represent my unknown future that will without a doubt be forever connected to which college I attend. This particular dream and my interpretation of if definitely honed down my choices and guided me toward my final decision. Through keeping my dream journal, I was able to interpret this very dream and have it affect my life positively.
