I do trust my “night school” intuitive learning a lot. I thought you’d be interested in my latest dream interpretation:
OK. May I offer a possible interpretation?
I'm not going to attempt a whole 'dream-reading' thing, as that's not my forté,
nor have you given your permission, but just a couple of things that stood out. I'll reference 'traditional' signs and symbols (there is a difference), rather than their modern counterparts.
A prior point:
1: Generally, analysing one's own dreams is rather operating within a closed loop. There is always the risk that we interpret the signs as we choose to interpret them.
2: I am not a dream interpreter, and the last time I practiced divination was nearly 50 years ago, so those skills are somewhat rusty. Therefore don't take anything I say as indicative, it's probably just me coming from my own closed loop.
Put another way, I'm saying nothing different now than what I've said in previous conversations.
A few nights later my deceased mother (also younger than when she died, but of a similar age as my father was) visited me in “prison.” There in prison I was speaking my version of wise philosophical things to other inmates when mom came and seemed to be affirming my giftedness (as mothers are prone to do!).
Interesting that you're in prison. A confinement.
As she was leaving, I followed her. Oops! I accidentally escaped from prison. I found myself in an elevator and feared that I would be considered an escapee once the prison head count occurred. So, I hid in a corner of the elevator.
The elevator is a sign of ascent or descent. Beyond that, it's not much help.
In another world the signifier would be something like a ladder, or a winged creature. as you're a passenger in the scenario, it's not a sign for a ladder, as a ladder signifies self-effort, so self-determination. Here you are being carried. There is also, again, the idea of confinement, the elevator is a confined space within a confined space.
The responses to the elevator suggest an unwilling journey.
If there were a winged creature image, then the nature of the creature would tell us much. A winged horse, for example. Do you ride its back, or is it pulling a chariot? Or a bird/dragon? Are you on its back, or in its talons. and so on ... these are universal symbols across many cultures. The elevator is not so fruitful, nor part of the larger imaginal realm.
At that point, there seemed to be another person with me (my wife who was there with me in bed backstage of the drama?). We would act as though we were something other than ourselves, so as not to be recognized as escapees.
This continues the hiding theme.
Then the elevator began moving. But I noticed that there was only one button to select, and it was for the third floor! Somehow, I sensed that mom had gone to the fourth floor. “No problem,” I thought, “I’ll go to the third floor and then take the steps up to the fourth.”
It's hard to see how you're going to get out of this scenario – your mom has gone somewhere the elevator does not go, and you cannot follow.
But there was a problem. The elevator seemed to be moving horizontally like a conveyer belt instead of vertically like an elevator.
In traditional terms, thgis would be signified by a spiral, or a maze. Here, the spiral makes a gradual ascent/descent, whereas a maze stays on the same plane.
First, why was my Connected Self portrayed as a female representing my Heavenly Mother instead of my Heavenly Father?
The father figure signifies transcendence. The female signifies immanence.
Next, why was there no indication, such as the sitting down action in the previous dream, of the moment that my spirit reentered my body?
Then did it ever leave? The elevator never left the building.
Elevators have long been my symbol of spiritual growth stage advance.
OK, but elevators go down, as well as up. And as your one is moving sideways, what does that tell you?
