I was getting my knees pierced. As they pierced one, it was like the whole world stopped, my body became numb, it was excruciating and at the same time I couldn’t feel anything. However it was so painful I decided to wait on piercing the second knee because I knew it would take a while to heal from the trauma of the first.

The dream had a somewhat fragmented structure but still followed a logical sequence.

Knee Piercing Nightmare

The dream was filled with a strong sense of dread and pain.

The intensity was extremely high, especially during the piercing moment.

The experience felt somewhat realistic, especially the sensation of pain.

The details were quite vivid, particularly the feeling of numbness and excruciating pain.

Lara, your dream about getting your knees pierced is a powerful representation of the interplay between pain and numbness, suggesting a deeper exploration of your emotional and physical boundaries. The act of piercing, which is often associated with transformation and self-expression, indicates that you are undergoing a significant change or are contemplating a shift in your life. Knees, in particular, are symbolic of support and mobility; they allow you to move forward in life. By choosing to pierce one knee and pausing on the other, you may be grappling with the idea of how much change you can handle at once, especially in the context of your responsibilities and commitments.

  The sensation of the world stopping as you experience the piercing echoes a moment of intense focus, where external distractions fade away, leaving you face to face with your internal struggles. This duality of feeling extreme pain yet also experiencing numbness can reflect a situation in your waking life where you feel overwhelmed, yet detached, possibly hinting at a need for emotional processing. It might indicate that you are in a phase where you are suppressing feelings or avoiding aspects of your life that might be painful to confront, even if they are necessary for your growth.

  Your decision to wait on piercing the second knee speaks volumes about your self-awareness and the respect you have for your healing process. It suggests a conscious acknowledgment of your limits and a desire to allow yourself the time to recover from the first experience.

Trauma

Dream About Knee Piercing

I was a teenager living in a neighborhood with nice white houses with pretty roofs and all-cut lawns and I was still dealing with trauma and anger problems and the loss of my grandmother. Therapy didn't work. So my therapist sent me an address and I went to the address and it looked like a weird-looking office with a triangle laid around like the Illuminati with a glowing white door and somebody being taken to the back smiling and giggling. The man never came out so I was joking through the interview and they asked me questions and I asked them so questions about the program and they told me hunting and I said hunting what and he said hunting stuff so I said what like hunting people and this man looked at me and reached his hand through the hole as it turned black his face opened wide and he looked like a demon with 2 black eyes a long outstretched jaw and tried to grab me. I told him I was joking and he turned normal. I said something about the Illuminati he did it again so my interview was concluded, he said if I told anybody they would find me and kill me and I better keep my mouth shut and he pushed me outside in the chair so while my dad and his friend were in the car I put the chair on the lawn and all of a sudden I got knocked out with my dad and my dad’s friend and everything turned blue. I got home and we started to drive back home people looked at the car horrified laughing tapping on the window and we waved and just kept driving home everything was still blue the garden and everything like a dark blue we got in the car and the sight turned a light blue as we talked about gas stations we were driving and I realized I was a ghost and woke up.

The dream was somewhat incoherent, with fragmented and disjointed scenes that lacked logical structure.

The dream was highly intense and emotionally charged, with vivid and unsettling imagery.

The dream had an unrealistic and surreal quality, with elements that felt disconnected from reality.

Dream Of Illuminati Office Demon Encounter

Walking about in some villa/castle/Hogwarts-looking structure built by some Lago Como looking lake
It’s the first day of summer camp/school, and I’m peering over from the old stony balcony at the view of the lake
There’s quite a few of my camp peers playing about in the balconies at the levels lower and I watch from above
One of the teachers who’d been leading a few of them to the balcony I’m in greets me
We have a little chirchat about room and group assignments and such, about all the courses I can take as a part of the arts and music academy program
We go down once the orientation starts; the teacher seems to be of a mercurial disposition
The castle is high and steepled, and I go back in and down through the stone helix staircase that looks like the one at the former/restored imperial library in Ueno I used to go to
Greeting the other peers in the hall
Getting a briefing and the beginner’s class done by the teacher from earlier
Once the session is over they go quickly as they came, scattering to rush to the gymnasiums to play or just do whatever around the castle-campus
I need to get the pass for the ‘I did these courses’ stamp cards stamped by the guy so I follow, but lose track
After wandering about in the interior of the school that looks exactly like the old Japanese public school I took my SAT in despite the fact that this is literally a villa in lake Como, I’m found and guided downstairs to the teachers’ office by some other generous teacher and student
Once I get there the students leave, and I walk into a few teachers discussing something about  ‘programs’ and ‘not happening for this year’ and such in the middle of the corridor in front of the office
I ask ‘what program’ and they tell me about this one dance lector among many others and practitioners of meditative/wellness-related stuff
There are many options of genres students can choose to learn from during the camp program 
Apparently the guy is one such teacher among them
Fusion, or some kind of an improvisational thing?
‘Some modern whatever’ one teacher says
They tell me that the person practices in the woods, usually very isolated and stand-off ish 
‘That one’ I say, ‘I wanna sign up for his class’
They look at each other for a bit before one of the teachers is assigned to take me to where the lector is
I’m lead out of the villa and into the woods
The soil is moist and crisp, pinecone woods and some taller trees of other kind
The lake is visible from amidst the woods, pretty close to water
In some wider opening amidst the paths lit by the cloudy sky’s light seeping cracks in the scattered conifer canopy he’s there
He seems to be of a rather phlegmatic disposition, humor cold and moist
He wears blouse that looks like it’s decorated with crows’ feathers, has the matching hair and eyes(gray? Dark gray), seems a bit depressed
The teacher who took me here is basically doing the introducing to him and me,
His name was something like Atmos
Or some kind of a posh noble-like name
We exchange a few words about my intentions and such, the guy’s scanning my whole appearance(AND my soul probably, like damn his eyes, it’s kinda hard to belife he’s human)
Anyway the supervising teacher leaves us to our own devices and we commence
He gives me a brief overview of the vibe of the dancing he teaches, almost ritualistic and trancelike 
I’m familiar with this
I’ve done this by the ocean before
I do this when I feel that spirits or some deep-seated emotions crash over me like waves
He seems to be interested enough to coach me on the gait and such in my movements
We move over to the edge of the lake’s shore, feet dipping in the waters
I’m overcome by the sudden music I hear in my head(sounded like Enya or something similar) and I let them take control of my body’s movements
The teacher calmly analyzes before commenting that I’d have been better off living as sirens or merfolks, not human
I tell him I had the feeling for a long time
I’m dismissed after the lecture
On the second day of the dance lesson with the lector there’s a guest
A girl, seems introverted, closed off; dainty, cold and fairy-like in her appearance, wants to join
We both learn under him
I’m unraveled of my façade as the days go, revealed of my deepest insecurities and trauma
The lector calmly points out the flaw in the thinking and such, unemotionally encouraging me to channel it into my movements
For instance he points out that one of the reasons why I learn the techniques so quickly anf absorb what he’s getting me to embody is because I myself don’t have a solid sense of self nor identity to begin with; I’m a sponge, full of holes that easily lets other things and people’s projected desires and dreams in, be it good or bad
That it’s both the biggest blessing and curse
Because of that I let others destroy me for nothing, that I romanticize the ruins because it’s the only thing I can convince myself into believe in as untouched by others; my own world and my imaginations that I always retreat into
By this point me and the fairy girl are both vulnerable, but she seems to be far more guarded that I am
I want the fairy girl to get vulnerable like me too, so I dig into the topic slowly through questions and conversations 
The more I go the more she seems unsettled, refuses
At one point we’re yelling at each other, tearing at each others’ cowardices and arrogance
The lector simply watches and calmly coachs but doesn’t intervene, cooly pointing out the flaw in either sides’ reasoning when he sees fit
At this point it’s starting to feel like shadow work-slash-dance-therapy
The peers and teachers I interact with on day to day basis are concerned, insinuating that the raven-haired mentor is influencing me too much or interfering with my private matters too much as a teacher because to them, ‘I don’t seem as cheery as I used to be just a week or two ago’
Obviously I’d be ragged I’m working through my traumas bitch

The dream had a fairly coherent storyline, moving from the camp setting to the dance lessons and emotional work.

Castle Summer Camp and Dance Lessons

The dream had a mix of excitement and introspection, especially during the dance lessons.

The intensity was high, particularly during the dance sessions and emotional confrontations.

Despite the fantastical setting, the interactions and emotions felt genuine.

The dream was highly vivid, with detailed settings like the villa, lake, and woods.

Hope, your dream presents a captivating blend of personal introspection and external guidance, set against a backdrop that combines the mystical and familiar. Walking through a villa or castle by a lake evokes a sense of journey and exploration, perhaps mirroring your own life transitions and the search for stability amidst change. The villa, reminiscent of Lago Como, symbolizes a place of beauty and tranquility, yet it also carries a sense of grandeur and complexity, much like your current life circumstances.

  Peering over the balcony on the first day of camp or school signifies a moment of anticipation and a fresh start. This scene highlights your observation of others, perhaps reflecting feelings of being an outsider or an observer in social situations. The interaction with the teacher about room and group assignments suggests a need for structure and clarity in your life, as well as the desire to find your place within a community.

  The castle's high, steepled structure and the stone helix staircase evoke a sense of history and tradition, which contrasts with your feelings of displacement and the need to navigate through life's complexities. Greeting peers in the hall and attending the beginner's class indicate your willingness to engage and learn, but the hurried departure of others underscores a sense of isolation and the difficulty of maintaining connections.

  Your search for the 'I did these courses' stamp card and the subsequent guidance to the teachers' office reflect a quest for validation and recognition. The teachers discussing programs and the mention of a dance lector practicing in isolation hint at your own feelings of being misunderstood or isolated in your pursuits. Choosing to sign up for the isolated teacher's class in the woods suggests a desire to connect with a deeper, more introspective form of learning and self-expression.

  Meeting the dance lector, Atmos, and his phlegmatic disposition, along with his ritualistic and trancelike approach to dance, mirrors your own struggles with depression and the need for a therapeutic outlet. His cold, moist humor and the mention of spirits or deep-seated emotions crashing over you resonate with your experience of being overwhelmed by emotions. The description of the dance by the lake, with music taking control of your movements, symbolizes a release and a connection to a more profound, almost otherworldly part of yourself.

  The subsequent days of dance lessons, the introduction of the fairy-like girl, and the unraveling of your façade highlight the therapeutic process of confronting and channeling your insecurities and trauma. The lector's unemotional encouragement to use your movements to express these deep-seated issues reflects the therapeutic journey of understanding and integrating your experiences.

  The confrontation with the fairy girl, the heated exchange, and the lector's calm observation signify the internal conflict you face in revealing and confronting your vulnerabilities. The peers' and teachers' concern about the lector's influence and your change in demeanor underscore the external pressures and judgments you face while working through your traumas.

  In essence, this dream encapsulates a journey of self-discovery, healing, and the struggle to balance external expectations with internal growth. The vivid imagery and detailed interactions reflect the complexity of your emotional landscape and the ongoing process of finding your true self amidst life's challenges.

Dream About Ex And Presentation Trauma

I got attached to the characters in my dream who then died a grusesome death. I don't remember my relationship with them, but I remember we have some healthy enough amount of problems. Three to four of us are in the car, while two guys (lovers) were fighting. The others, including me, didn't meddle in because it's their business. Next thing I know there was a woman in front of our car, good thing we didn't hit her cuz as we got out, she who for some reason has a loose red rope around her forehead was already nagging and yelling at the driver. When I looked under the car, I could see how her body got slipped apart. I saw it live happen, when I looked at the nagging woman again, she wasn't there. 

That was enough trauma/loss for one day. Guess what. My guy friend who was having a couple quarrel with my other guy friend accidentally slipped while there was a car passing. I was so fucking relieved that he didn't got hit, but next thing we all know, he was getting dragged by the car's wheel by his shirt and oh, the shock I felt when I saw him spinning while his guts and limbs flew to the air.

I couldn't take anymore losses and woke up.
