================================================ Subject: The kangaroo symbolic... A strange Creed dream.. Admitting I don't know much about symbology From: "Creed - 7M3 - Live" To: Date: Sun 6 May 2001 21:11:31 -0400 ================================================ Well I haven't remembered any of my dreams lately. So I couldn't see what I looked like. Though I try to remember them. I do feel pretty good on waking up. So the conversations on dreams has probably helped out with that part of it. A long while back, I had a dream about Creed and it was set in a church like setting. There was only one dark headed girl sitting in front of the roped off line. To the left side was a sort of bouncer who would not let me look up the pues that went up on an incline towards the front. I was sitting three rows behind the rope. I was sitting with someone. Bt I'm not sure who it was. I saw Scott Stapp in the dream. But don't remember any of the other members of the band in it. Anyway, when trying to get up to the front of the roped off area. I saw that there were many empty pues going up in front of the pues. I can't remember much more about the dream. Except it was between the MOP and HC albums. I think that I saw a show during the MOP tour about a month before the dream. The dream was never continued. But it probably was a result of all of the eligious discussions and the way that the songs were pantomimed out during the show. I'm glad that you aren't suuicidal in your dreams of late and glad that there are a few songs that let you see that it is not a good idea to be that way. Especially if you can feel for your friends and family. Hopefully, you can feel stronger for your own wants of life and in its enjoyment. About the kangaroo being sort of a symbolic presentation of an actual being in real life. It is strange that this has been studied so much and found to be the case with a lot of dreams. I know nothing about the symbology in dreams. I really don't see too much characteratures in my own dreams. It is interesting idea though.
