I had the strangest dream that woke me up so early. Could you please help me with dream interpretation?

Good morning everyone. Hope everyone has a good start of the week โค๏ธ๐Ÿ™

I believe my dream was happening early morning at the last REM stage. I was by the ocean, waiting for sea turtles to come up so I could feed them. It was so beautiful, the water was clear, and it was so vivid I can taste the ocean and feel the sea breeze. And in a sudden I saw one of the worker there (sea turtle expert or something) standing on the dock and he looked like the nurse from ER who used to come by our pharmacy for stat orders. I usually just say hi n send him his way. ( I donโ€™t really know or care for this person just to be clear and I am on medical leave so i havenโ€™t been back there yet). So I came up the dock and talked to him, it was nice catching up and I noticed there are a lot of apples on the table. He reached for the apple and I did the same. He started getting really mad and I was like whatโ€™s wrong? Is there something wrong if I eat an apple? He is like no, you canโ€™t have this apple and I remember I got really hurt by his action and I woke right up with tears. And the first thing I read through HU posts, I saw someone profile pic is a sea turtle. This is strange for me. What do you think what does it mean?! ๐Ÿคช

Dreams can be just random stuff with no particular reason and I feel this is such a dream Do you have any intuitive response to it ?

Maybe it has something to do with my job witnessing so many deaths as being called for many code blue in one day for a while. I would love to write it off as dreams are just random stuffs. Thank you.

Oh my goodness, how strange is that. It's a possibility that you may have subconsciously been thinking about your work and the person in your dream. You may have read or seen something about turtles over the past few weeks. It's incredible how our minds work.

Iโ€™m thinking things like turtle, apple: they represent longevity and good source of vitamins; those are things I am concerning about? Although I would love to be in Hawaii right now to see the turtles ๐Ÿค— Definitely I got overwhelmed with work. I donโ€™t think about the person just an Er nurse. Yes, The mind is the most incredible thing can lead us to many paths. ๐Ÿค”xx

Good thoughts there, I didn't realise they represented longevity. Oh yes, a nice warm island with the sea breeze and solice, wonderful. Glad you don't think about that person anymore, that's good. Our minds are amazing. xx๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ’œ

GM, GMF;

knowing what i know about you, and that in many ways, we seem to see eye to eye... if that was my dream - this is how i'd interpret it.... and i think this will resonate for you as well...

.

i see the ocean and sea turtles, as a metaphor for life, nature, beauty, and peace. being there represents being 1 with, and in harmony with nature and life.

I see the worker, as a metaphor for humans in general. i see the apple, as a metaphor for human interactions. you may be seeing it as the 'forbidden fruit'. he started getting mad - because lately - it's exceedingly difficult to have human interaction without someone getting pissed off - because people have become so intolerant, disrespectful, and above all, narrow-minded. (IMHO). If the apple is forbidden fruit - then it represents knowledge. and in my experience - there are very few people truly interested in truth and knowledge. - unless it's THEIR idea of truth, and their opinion AS knowledge.

you are NOT welcome to the apple - because if you learn and disseminate distasteful truths - then you are a THREAT to their ignorant bliss.

.

you awoke in tears, for the same reason i've been angry at everyone and everything. i think we both mourn and grieve for humanity lost; for sanity; for reason; for respect; for kindness... for all the things that feel like they're gone forever.

...

now, that's got a lot of ME in the interpretation.... and i could interpret it more objectively - but i suspect, my biased result is closer to the mark....

.

i haven't read any of the many replies - so i'm curious to see what others have said....

โ€ข in reply to13ga

Turtles: You are on point on nature, beauty, harmony as Iโ€™m being one with nature.The worker: it is true as life circumstances can make people short-fused around each other.

Apple: very fresh approach from you as knowledge

I donโ€™t know, I still believe in humanity that there are so many good people around. Just few bad ones wonโ€™t make life too bad. We will believe what our minds want to believe and thatโ€™s a journey of truth seeking!

Thank you for your thorough interpretation ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ™

Sea turtle represents, offen times longevity. Apple is the Adam and Eve scenario especially when it comes to men and women. I use Carl Jung archetypes and a few others to look up the definition of the archetypes as there are many, as you can see, but the definitions that ring true are the correct ones for you. Also advice is not take into the dream into the next day, l learned in dream analysis education. Although, I would like to hit that beach in my mind the next day. Ha

That is the window of tolerance. Jung was tolerant of the human mind, especially dreams and the subconscious in a wholesome away.

GreatMindfulness, unfortunately, my dream picture isn't that precise. But I will

tell you what I think. I don't see any relevance in the sea turtle other than you some

it on someone's profile pic and it played into your dream.

In my interpretation of the apples, I see that the ER nurse was actually looking out for you

and your safety. The apples representing the new vaccine coming in right now. I'm sure

this has been on everyone's mind lately especially the essential workers in the hospital setting. What do you think? :) xx

โ€ข in reply toAgora1

I saw the turtle in someoneโ€™s profile after I dreamed and did my meditation.

Er nurse, not a factor, I donโ€™t remember his name, just a face of someone who worked there.

Apple: representing new vaccine. Very interesting, the apple like Adam&Eve which is relating to the snake and the snake is the symbol of our world of medicine. I think I am very satisfied with this interpretation ๐Ÿ˜˜

Love how you always see things in brighten lights โค๏ธ Thank you Agora1 for your input ๐Ÿ™xox

This might sound like a cop out but I just want to say that dreams have no more meaning than the meaning we give to them. Dreams are like art, they mean everything or nothing depnding on what you want to get out of it. There is no wrong way to inprepret them, they don't have a concrete definition or meaning. Whatever you feel your dream means, is what it means. No one but your own self can decide what a dream really means.

โ€ข in reply toReading_Rando

Hi R_A ๐Ÿ˜€, No I donโ€™t think it is a cop out at all. Itโ€™s another fresh perspective you have. Thank you for your input ๐Ÿ™

People work in ER can handle stress but I think he just picked a wrong floor to work. He belongs to Tele or Med Rec ๐Ÿคฃ

Yes your sister really needs to protect herself with great caution. I was there up to October but I couldnโ€™t handle anymore I know my limit. Even Iโ€™m home now but I keep getting emails from Seiu Union announced who passed away and that is heart broken. I think that can maybe why I cried woken up also.

Yes Los Angeles exploded since itโ€™s so crowded and people are always out and about. We find excuses just to get out of the house ๐Ÿคฃ. We call them the hillbilly OC ๐Ÿ˜‚ they think itโ€™s a joke and the beach on the weekend is packed to the point you canโ€™t even find a spot to park. Some time we need to pick our battle. Your Sis already got a history of breast cancer and even recovered, her immune system is not going to be 100 percent for Covid-19. With Vaccine I have hope things will get better than Now. My hospital converted every floor into Covid Unit. We have to be on the floor to administer meds now (same exposure to virus). Before, thereโ€™s crash cart, Sodium Bicarb, Levophed, Amio vials the nurse can just grab n run it, now I had to physically on the floor and administer while they do CPR (shortage of RT). It is like walking into War Battle in real life. It eats you up! For this reason, I feel very furious when people donโ€™t wear masks (thereโ€™s a saying that if you havenโ€™t seen coffin, you donโ€™t know death), they just spread their ignorance to others. It is an airborne virus and they donโ€™t want to cover their faces?!!!!!๐Ÿ™„
