Ferris Wheel
11/24/2024

I had a dream about a massive indoor pool. In the center stood a ferris wheel, but it had no foundation to support it. Despite this, it spun people around effortlessly, even plunging them underwater for a brief moment during its rotations. The wheel typically completed three or four rounds before, on the final spin, it would throw the riders off. Strangely, no one was ever hurt.
*[Zoran adjusts his spectacles and unfurls an ancient dream-scroll]*

4. Symbol Interpretation
*[Each symbol glows with layers of meaning in my dragon-sight...]*
- Jungian: The ferris wheel can be seen as an archetype of the journey through life's ups and downs, while the water symbolizes the depths of the unconscious mind. The repeated spinning and submersion may suggest a need for emotional exploration and growth.
- Freudian: The ferris wheel lacking a foundation could symbolize unresolved issues or instability in one's life. The plunging underwater may represent repressed emotions or desires that resurface cyclically.
- Modern psychology: This dream could reflect a fear of change or uncertainty, with the repeated cycles indicating a pattern of facing challenges but ultimately remaining unharmed. It may also point to a need for emotional balance and stability during transitions.
- Ancient dragon wisdom: In dragon lore, the ferris wheel without support signifies the importance of inner strength and resilience during times of change. The water's role in submerging riders hints at the necessity of facing deep emotions to emerge stronger.
5. Emotional Resonance

7. Crystal Synthesis
*[Breathing a gentle flame to illuminate the complete picture...]*
- In summary, this dream signifies a period of transition and transformation, where challenges and emotional depths must be faced to emerge stronger.

Solve the puzzle
11/20/2024

I had a dream where I was engaged in a deep spiritual discussion with someone. As our conversation ended and I walked away, I overheard them telling another person, "That guy has no idea of the wisdom he possesses." Their words lingered with me, leaving a profound impression.
In another dream, I was trying to solve a challenging programming problem. However, my computer was in another room, and I couldn’t fully work through the solution without it. As I puzzled over the issue, I suddenly realized I was lucid dreaming. Despite my awareness, I knew I wasn’t in the physical world where I could access my computer to solve the problem, adding a layer of complexity to the experience.

Opera singer
11/17/2024

In this dream, I found myself with a world-class opera singer. We were on stage in a grand opera theater, a venue filled with an air of anticipation for her performance later that night. After the event, we returned home, and she mentioned wanting to practice a particular song with me.
What unfolded next was surreal and inexplicable: she began to engage in a bizarre and unorthodox form of "breath practice," directing air toward me in an unexpected and peculiar way.
