this weekend, a few dreams stood out..

in the first, i was in an old town, very old, somewhere in the mountains of Europe.
my Dad was showing me his house, which was the biggest in the town.
right in the centre of town, it had a huge chimney, reaching into the sky.
my Dad seemed proud of his big old house.
i, however had a different feeling about it.
as i looked at the chimney, it began to crumble, falling down and taking the rest of the house with it.
other buildings started to crumble...
i looked up and saw a massive wall that hadn't been there before.
it seemed to me that it served no purpose.
it was simply a big old wall, towering over the town.
with a thought i brought it down on top of all the buildings still standing.
soon every old (belief?) structure had crumbled and lay in ruins on the ground.

next, i was naked in my own home.
the doorbell rang and i answered the door.
two women stood there.
i thought nothing of my nakedness, and didn't understand why the women were looking away, embarrassed.
they left the doorstep, and i shut the door.
again the bell rang, again i answered, naked, but unaware of my nakedness.
again, two women stood there.
they asked me to cover up, so i grabbed a towel.
then they just stood with nothing to say.

then, this morning -
i was being led around various strange encounters by a tiny white rabbit.(down the rabbit hole?)
it seemed like a series of small dreams, with the tiny (i mean about 8 cm long) rabbit leading me from one to the next.
in the last one, the rabbit was trampled by a bigger (normal size) brown rabbit, which was manifested by the smaller one.
i picked up the tiny rabbit, and could see it was still alive.
there were two little insects crawling on it, so i put it down on the table.
it's eyes focused and unfocused, the life leaving it.
i stroked it's head, comforting it til it died.

Maybe this means "tradition" or "belief in tradition". Beliefs, belief systems and traditions can sometimes lose their base and be hollowed out.

Nakedness = nothing to hide?

Clothes could represent a role, an image, etc. Maybe you were so beyond playing a role or being anything but yourself that you could not understand their reaction?
