I dreamt of a big shared yard. Someone had drawn a large (about 25ft each side) triangle in the golden sand. There was a fire pit at each of the three points, out, from the night before. Someone had placed clean ivory carvings in the ash, mostly masked heads. I was curious, suspicious, calm but cautious. When I went inside there was a weird feeling from the people sitting around the living room. The neighbors. I kneeled on the couch between the couple to “look for something” (?) behind the sofa. I was wearing a hospital gown and was exposed at the back. Next thing… the three of us were flying through the streets on this couch, racing, escaping, or looking. Suddenly they were gone. I made it back and then they walked in, awkward as ever. I looked out back again at the ashes and the triangle to figure out what was going on.
I HAD A DREAM ON EARLY MORNING HRS OF 15 TH MAY 2019, I saw volcano burning black burning ashes on my office washroom white tiles floor which was little wet..

I dreamt that I was in a street full of people and there were huge sacks – 2or 3 with huge dragons inside. I was feeling happy to see the dragons and wanted to free them. The head of one of them was sticking out of the sack so I went and patted his head and put my finger in his mouth with was full of ashes – in an effort to clear it out. The people were scared of the dragons and i was sad because I wanted to see them fly. the colour of the dragons was dark and they were very scaly.
Wow, I’m sure that was a very intense dream! Dragons are very powerful creatures indeed, and I will have to add that symbol to our dream dictionary next! Something that may help you understand what the dream means is to think about your feelings of wanting to see the dragons fly while others were afraid of them. Could you be exploring some sort of new opportunity while others are afraid of failure?
I’m sure in time the dream will certainly make some sense for you and thank you for sharing it with us! I’ll get to work on adding dragons to our site next! 🙂
