Interpretation Please?

Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.

So I wake up this morning right out of a strange dream.  Dreams are said to be either for exercising the synapses in the brain or to deal with immediate concerns in our lives.  There are several times in the Old Testament where dreams were interpreted and even prophetic.  So anyway, I try to at least think about my dreams before dismissing them, just in case.

Here was my dream.  I am looking into what I assume is my backyard and see a metal swing set.  On this swing set, a small dog (I assume it is mine) is swinging in a half shell of a coconut.  He is about 5 feet off the ground and I can tell that he cannot get down so I go to rescue him.  When I get there, I notice that the coconut shell is not hanging from a chain but very thick cobwebs and the cobweb is also connected to the top of a very tall telephone pole.  At the top of the pole where the cobweb ends is a very large bees nest, several nests actually.  My attempt to remove the dog from the coconut shell angers the bees and I can hear them humming loudly and heading toward me.  So I begin to run.  The bees appear to be about the size of mosquitoes and quickly catch me and land on my back.  I walk around to the front of the house (with the bee mosquitoes still on me).  If I walk fast, they start to get angry and hum.  If I walk slowly, the just stay on my back.  I awoke just as I was trying to decide how to get my shirt off.

Now I don't know about you but when I want answers I go to Mr. Google.  The first promising hit is this site that has an "interpret" feature where you put in what was in your dream and it tells you what it means.  Here are the results...

  • Bees: To see bees in your dream, symbolizes good luck, harmony, and bliss. Bees are also symbolic of work and industry (so far, so good).
  • Dog: To see a dog in your dream, indicates a skill that you have ignored or forgotten, but needs to be activated (again, not necessarily bad).
  • Swing: To dream about a swing, represents an expression of great satisfaction and freedom (this is turning out better than I thought).
  • Coconuts: To see a coconut in your dream, foretells that you will receive an unexpected gift of money (not sure if seeing an empty coconut shell would mean the opposite).

So, it is all good it seems.  Now I had a dream once when I was a teenager that I was a pregnant kangaroo in the express checkout lane at a grocery store where I was buying some Chicklets.  I wonder what that web site says that dream meant?

I think I will quit while I am ahead.

Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
