Dream Lab~ Darts412


I was working with friends to construct a house/fort. One of my friends was a very good looking guy whom I had feelings for and who may or may not have been Orlando Bloom. The Orlando-Bloom-esque character seemed to be in charge of the construction operation. A miniature girl (about the size of my hand), was trying to sabotage my construction efforts, as well as my efforts with "Orlando." She was destroying everything I built. Suddenly my miniature antagonist was a mouse, and I was trying to dispose of her by throwing her from the fort we were building, and then from a raft we were floating down a river in. The scene was continually changing and so was the form of my adversary. I was extremely frustrated.

"Orlando Bloom" here may represent a guy you have or had feelings for. Since he was in charge of the construction of the "fort" it seems like you were building a place where you could be emotionally secure with this guy (a relationship). The miniature girl could represent internal conflict or a outside influence you regard as a small but annoying threat, hence the transformation into a mouse (I'm thinking something like tom and jerry). The attempts to get rid of her would then signify attempts to get rid of her as a competitor for the guy. The changing scenes could represent different methods you needed to use to get rid of her. And then frustration would naturally stem from this sort of conflict.

The house/fort you were building likely represents your sense of security, and how your are building your new home and life at college (if you are a freshman). Orlando Bloom probably represents a guy you like, and he may be part of your new college life and helping you build your sense of security just as he was helping construct the house in your dream. The miniature girl probably represents someone at college who is a threat to you and your relationship with the Orlando Bloom guy in real life. Perhaps you consciously or unconsciously feel threatened by her in real life. She is probably hard to get rid off, just as she was in your dream. The river scene likely shows that there is a change in your life coming soon because of the conflict with this girl, and the outcome is not yet known.
