Absolutely horrendous dream last night. I dreamt I was buried alive. I was lying in a small space, most of my body covered in earth. I could breathe fresh air in through my nose and mouth but couldn't see. Everything was pitch black, I couldn't move my body and I felt wet earth covering me. There were noises outside, I couldn't see who was there and scratching noises. My arms and back really ached. I remember clutching a sprig of something with small leaves in my left hand
Then this (male) voice inside my head said "You chose to die, now you will die. Do you choose white eyes? Do you choose feathers?"
The voice went quiet and all I could hear was my heartbeat which sounded exceptionally loud and fast and the scratching noises. I could feel myself start to panic then I suddenly woke up. Terrified. Slept with the lamp on for the rest of the night.
What does it mean to be buried alive in a dream? I was so frightened. It was also the first time I hadn't dreamt of animals for ages - I missed thm 🙁
Thanks

RE: Buried alive
Eli,
Usually, dreams like this indicate deep-seated worries. Don't wish to be nosey but have you any problems that you need to resolve, or if you are wary of meeting someone? All this can trigger off bad dreams.
If your pets have died this may be your mind's way of resolving the matter.
Love,
Patsy.

RE: Buried alive
Hi Songstress,
No real problems as such but I have been ill and am feeling a bit overwhelmed with work. Hmm. Maybe I'm buried under my work. It was the voice that freaked me out the most, I woke up thinking "what do you mean I chose to die? I most certaily did not!!"
Re animals - that's interesting. No loss of pets but I've had either a jaguar, turkey, spider or snake accompany me in recent dreams and I really missed them this time.
Thanks for the quick reply
Eli
RE: Buried alive
Hi Eliana, I don't know what spiritual path you follow, but your mention of animals leads me to believe that they are your shamanic animal totems; your guides and protectors in other worlds.
With this in mind, your dream sounds very shamanic to me - being buried alive is a classic way to 'die', ie for one aspect of the Self to die so that a purer, truer Self can be re-born. Shamans have been re-born into their true path in this way for centuries.
Not saying you are going to be a shaman, but it would seem to indicate a part of yourself which is 'dying'. Hence the voice - you chose to die - or some aspect of you chose to die, if you get my drift.
You also choose which 'form' you will take - 'white eyes' or 'feathers'. Only link I can get with white eyes is the old slang for white people (not sure if that was Hollywood-created). Feathers would indicate a bird of some kind - either the turkey (which symbolises giving away everything which no longer works for you) or perhaps another bird which you have yet to 'shape change' into.
You might want to post this dream in the shamanic forum and see if anyone there picks it up. Meanwhile, I would watch out for significant birds in your life and dreams - they could hold a clue.
