Victoria Roder-My Dreams Mean What?

I researched dream interpretation for my novel The Dream House Visions and Nightmares, published by Asylett Press. My good friend Diane gave me a book on Dream Interpretation and I also referenced the online site THE MEANING OF YOUR DREAMS – A DREAM DICTIONARY.


Read the following dream excerpt from The Dream House Visions and Nightmares, and then I will dissect it for you:

The man’s big, meaty paw snatched the little boy out of the line up and shoved him to the dirty floor. The bat stretched its wings, but continued to cling to the man’s shoulder. The overbearing man never noticed the blood that trickled through his shirt, drawn by the bat’s claws. He kicked the young boy in the stomach with the toe of his cowboy boot. Instantly, the boot transformed into a snake. It recoiled, drew back, and struck the cringing child.

***

The beer-bellied man waved his tattooed arm and without making a sound the younger children morphed into rats, and scurried out of the room.

Bat: symbolizes quarrels and hosts of evil

Snake: treachery

Blood: essence and life energy, unfortunate love affairs, a severe disappointment

Rats: foretell of serious trouble to come

The bedspread transformed into a mass of enormous fleas scurrying beneath me. I could feel their compressed bodies against my flesh.

Fleas: sickness, or needing to deal with old troubles

The overwhelming smell of rotting flesh permeated my nostrils, then I noticed the decaying, maggot-infested, head of an owl roll off the serving tray onto the floor.

Owl: deceitful person

I hope that none of the readers dream this detailed or morbid as the above excerpts, but then again my dreams became the premise for my paranormal romance novel The Dream House Visions And Nightmares, which received the rating of BEST BOOK from. The Long and Short of it Reviews. I might not like all my dreams, but with their aid, I can say my personal story could be called A Dream Comes True!

The Dream House Visions and Nightmares is a paranormal romance. Recurring dreams of a house Hope Graham’s family rented when she was a child, taunt her nights with images of a woman in a bloody nightgown pleading for help. Dream sequences foretell of sins of the past and forewarn of danger in the present. In an attempt to end the agony of her sleep deprivation, Hope travels to her hometown…only to discover that the truth can be more frightening than a nightmare.
