Perchance to dream...

[AmbivalentMirage]

I've been experiencing a reoccuring item in my dreams for the past few days, and I'd like some input on possible interpretations.

In the dream, I am in a church building and I am sent downstairs by the adults. On this lower floor, there are three pianos. One is an old upright and is way out of tune and very damaged. The second is a spinette that's somehow been outfitted with electronics (a blasphemy to all piano players, lol). The last one is simply a spinette. When I come into the room (by a case of stairs on the left), I see the spinette with electronics in front of me, the good spinette to the left and in front of me, and the upright directly in front, about ten feet away.

I sit and play at the massacred spinette ;) for a while, then I hear my mother calling me and I go back upstairs with the sheet music I've carried down. Once I arrive upstairs, I am suddenly in the dining room of the house I lived in when I was ten to twelve. There, I see my mother (present) and myself (past). Last night, however, I became lucid in the dream. However... although I knew I was dreaming, I was not completely in control. I heard a voice (presumably Divine) tell me to cast a spell to get rid of the darkness (very vague). I joined hands with my past-self and cast the spell (I cannot remember the words), then I wake up. I've had the dream three times, the first two excluding the lucid part. I don't remember the section after I come upstairs from those nights. :-/

Any ideas? I'm at a COMPLETE loss, except for the fact that a "clairvoyant" friend of my mother's told us that she sees a dark cloud over our current home. I've realized that the cloud means the dark-opressing aura that my grams seems to drag around with her. =/ Maybe the spell I was casting in the dream spoke of a spell I am to cast IRL? Maybe I'm being told to cast a binding spell? Ahhh, help!!!! LOL My more psychological side is getting over-interpretive, and I'm probably missing the point, so what do you think? :D

First impression , the root of what bothers you today will be found in your childhood. Playing the massacred spinnette says you do not value what others value .

Rooms and buildings are very symbolic in dreams. My interpretatin would be that the church basement represents the base of your spirituality. The choices of three pianos in various conditions represent three choices or conflicts that you may be having. You choose to play the damaged instrument. I'm getting that you may be trying to salvage something in your self, and I'm also picking up that you feel a fondness for this aspect. Music is the opposite of chaos. In dreams, music represents harmony and the potential of creativity. Do you remember what kind of music you were playing? The type of music can represent your emotions - is the tone sad, happy, tragic, threatening? If you can remember what it sounded like, this could be a very important clue to the meaning of this dream.

Since we eat in dining rooms, that part of the house represents food and nourishment. Your mother in this dream appears to also represent nurturing and guidance. To me, "getting rid of the darkness" and joining hands with your past self represent a resolution and merging of some kind. It seems that some conflict within you, possibly in regard to your spirituality, is being resolved, or you are being told how to resolve it.

This is just what I'm getting intuitively. The true interpretation is ultimately up to the dreamer ;)

Editing to add and yes, Mol - I'm breaking the rules and not using a moderation: Seems like this thread didn't get much of a response because it's in the wrong forum, so I'm moving it to Divination :D

That's a very interesting dream.
Good luck in pursuing answers!
