People Looking for Me

Not stated · Date unknown · contemporary study

... I was in another room and people were trying to find me, and it...and it was the... A room I had been in before, it was all clear windows around it, it was like clear panels of glass, and umm I don't know why...um... I was in it. But it did remind me a little of "Minecraft", the game, where you can build houses and stuff, but umm... people just needed to talk to me. So that's it.

Another way to look at this dream

Notes on the images in this dream from psychology, myth, folklore and semiotics. Each names its source.

House

Whose house was it — one you know, or one you only know in the dream? Which room did you spend the most time in?

Jung · The house as psyche

In 1909 Jung dreamed of a house whose cellar led down into older and older layers — Roman, then prehistoric. He later took it as an image of the psyche, with the oldest layers at the bottom.

C. G. Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections (1962)

Phenomenology Philosophy

Gaston Bachelard argued that the house “shelters daydreaming”: the attic and cellar of a childhood home stay with us as places to imagine from.

Bachelard, The Poetics of Space (1958)

Chinese fiction Literature

In chapter 5 of Dream of the Red Chamber, Baoyu dreams his way into the Land of Illusion, a palace of cabinets holding registers of the household’s fates.

Cao Xueqin, Dream of the Red Chamber, ch. 5

A stranger

Did the stranger remind you of anyone, even slightly? What did they want from you?

Jung · Shadow, anima and animus

Jung read unknown figures as possible parts of the dreamer: a same-sex stranger may carry the shadow; an other-sex figure what he called the anima or animus. These are offered as lenses, not labels — and his gender framing reflects his time.

C. G. Jung, “Aion, ch. 2–3”, Collected Works 9ii

Homeric epic Classical text

In Homer, gods and dreams arrive in borrowed shapes: Athena visits Nausicaa disguised as her friend; Zeus sends a Dream to Agamemnon looking like Nestor.

Odyssey VI; Iliad II

Storm

Was the storm far off or already on top of you? Were you looking for shelter, or standing in it watching?

English drama Literature

The Tempest opens with a storm raised by magic, and Prospero later says: “We are such stuff / As dreams are made on.”

Shakespeare, The Tempest, IV.i

Early dream research Dream research

Ellis recorded his own dream of a cyclone threatening the house, and connected it to the wind outside that night.
