I had a really weird dream last night, and even if I'm usually the one who interprets everyone else's dreams, I can't seem to figure this one out exactly.

I dreamt I was in a parking lot somewhere, and I know it was far away from home. And all I could think about was that I was so ready to leave and get back to where I felt familiar. But when I got out to my car, I noticed my rear tire was totally flat. I was pissed because I had just gotten new tires a few months ago and I had no idea how it could be flat already.

I didn't feel confident that I knew how to change a tire effectively without doing something wrong. And I knew I had a very long drive and just didn't trust the spare tire. I was upset and angry and just wanted to get out of there.

Then all of a sudden this huge brightly colored van came screeching into the parking lot next to me. It was filled with clowns. I really hate clowns. And they all jumped out and started running towards me. So I got into my car really fast and tried to roll the window up. But one of them stuck their hand inside and honked an annoying air horn in my face. It scared me (which is kind of stupid since it was just a horn). But I panicked and smacked the horn out of his hand and got the window up.

All of these clowns were swarming my car, so I decided I better just drive, even with a flat tire. So I took off and skidded away from the evil pack of clowns. And I was on this mountain highway and my car was shooting off sparks because I was riding on the rim of the flat tire.

I was upset that my car was going to be totally ruined, but I knew I had no choice but to keep driving. And then I got a call on my phone, and it was a woman's voice. I'm not entirely sure who she was though. But it was known to me that she was someone from this website and she read my blog. And she told me, "take care of yourself because I want to read your story about the crystal heart."

And then I woke up. The whole thing was just so weird I actually wrote down notes on a piece of paper so I wouldn't forget. The message at the end seemed really important, but I have no idea what the story of the crystal heart is.

Anyone have any thoughts? I better not dream about anymore clowns though....*shudders*

    ET- No, I'm not of any help, but I'm also bored so I googled crystal heart.

    There is the story of the crystal heart which is a Vietnamese legend you can easily find.

    And a movie named crystal heart about a rock singer who falls in love with a guy isolated in a crystal room because of a rare disease.

    No clowns that I can tell though.

    This is a strange dream, it needs thinking about - I've no idea, but it does sound important.

    beyond--Hey thanks for googling that stuff. I never thought to do that. I read the little Vietnamese story and I'm not sure if that in any way applies to my life. And I sure hope the cheesy story about the man dying of a rare disease in a crystal room doesn't apply to me! But that's really interesting that there were stories called the Crystal Heart....

    batty--I have no idea either, but it seemed interesting enough to share!

    hi etwin,

    That is a strange dream. Sounds like a clown phobic's nightmare. But, i wonder, what's up with the crystal heart?

    I too have dreamt of evil clowns.  I don't think I'll be blogging about it any time soon though.  Sorry.  Also, I am only tagging this for later.  Sorry again.  

    I dreamt of angels and quantum physics last night!  Far away from the old evil clowns.  So, let me think about this for a while.  

    The crystal heart has meaning too you know...so does your "vehicle" getting a flat, and then you were willing to ruin your rims or worse, just to get away from the clowns.

    Interesting.

    Later friend,

    Truth : )

      Hello evil twin, you already know clowns creep me out to. Even the red headed Mc Donald's clown freaks me out. One day I walked into a Mc Donald's restaurant and didn't notice a life size cardboard cut out of him. I turned and saw that and just walked back out and left.   The Burger King      King actor in the commercials also freaks me out.   When you spoke of the crystal heart I thought of a current Harrison Ford movie but it's related to a crystal skull.

       Great creepy story evil twin I think Steven King could learn alot from you. I have no idea what your dream could have been related to.Take care of yourself evil twin.

    Dreams are meaningful to the person that has them and yes there's special meaning to each one.  The reason I know is that once upon a time I was going through some upheavals with some family members and a friend of mine was heavily into psycoligy going for his degree and we used to talk a lot about them.
    I can't really interpret them. However what's really important is how you feel about them.
    I know that the clowns represent something in your life.  And so does the rest.
    You might try to write it down in detail and then go through the details one by one by putting yourself as that object or person ( say you are the clowns, what are you trying to say to yourself?).
    It's a bit deep but it's also a good mental exercise.
    If you want more dreams let me know....that I know how to do.

    Okay that is an interesting dream...I am not exactly sure what it means but I am going to give it a try: In the beginning you mentioned that you were in a different place which could symbolize change in your life which you were orginally happy or indifferent about. The car could symbolize your way of escacpe, you are ready for things to return back to normal, the familiar, so you are escaping, the flat tire could be the unexpected twist that would delay or stop you from escaping but the clowns could symbolize an existing fear that actually increases your motivation to escape or return back to familarity. The woman caller could be a type of affirmation or/and determination for you to return to the familiar. The crystal heart not sure what that could mean. I don't know just guessing. Hope it helps though!!!

    Here's my stab at things - take whatever fits.  I'm no expert at all - but I love reading about other people's dreams.
     
    A crystal heart - this part intrigues me.  As I have read some of your blogs, I am struck by your transparency - and I mean this in a positive way.  You are honest and forthcoming with your feelings, the full spectrum - like the colors reflected by a crystal.  The heart itself is the center of our compassion, our emotional insight and innate intelligence versus the brain which is more concrete and logical.
     
    The clowns seem to represent some sort of a threat and as others have said, the car, a vehicle for escape.  The flat tire is an adversity that you plowed through in order to stay on your path. 
     
    Maybe there is something threatening your crystal heart and your ability to pursue your personal journey.   Perhaps it is not necessarily a negative thing, just a departure from the familiar - most of us feel anxiety when leaving our comfort zone.  Was the woman's voice reassuring?  Maybe she represents encouragement to stay true to yourself despite any temporary challenges or fear.
     
    Muy interesante, amigo - very interesting.  All the best - Wishy

    Transportation in dreams is always significant.  It represents a journey (though not necessarily a physical one... this could be your emotional or spiritual journey)..  and the type of transportation is important just as it is important whether there are other people with you and whether you are a passenger or driving.  In this dream, you're in the car alone, and you're driving.  You are in charge of your own destiny, but there are some difficulties that you are facing (the flat tire) and someone or something that is trying to distract you, even to the point of using fear tactics (the clowns).  Maybe these clowns represent a part of yourself.. a part that is trying to keep you from your true or desired path... perhaps your depression.  Just remember that you are at the driver's wheel, and you can choose to stop and fix that spare at any time, so that you can continue your journey safely.  You might also consider picking up a pretty hitchhiker named Natalie.  :)

    I know! I know !  (reaching for my trusty "Field Guide to Dreams")

    I had a look in my book for you and came up with some interesting things on the heart and car symbols of your dream.

    The heart is a common symbol for romantic love and dreams involving hearts could provide clues to the way we deal with feelings.  What is your approach to relationships?  Do you wear your heart on your sleeve?  Do you give your heart away easily...it could also refer to doubts or fears you have over being true to yourself.

    Cars often have enormous personal significance, they may symbolize relationships, your body or your life.  If your car needs repairing, the specific type of repair can have metaphoric implications.  Hmmm... flat tyre?  The only thing that I could think of would be frustration at not being able get where you want go or be??  

    Bit disjointed...but I hope you can apply it to your circumstances and shed a little light on your dream.  I know how frustrating it can be to not figure them out...

    The clown part of your dream made me laugh, even if I think clowns are evil too. That would scare me! But for some reason the thought of clowns running at you, honking horns in your face, gave me a chuckle.

    But in all seriousness, I think this dream does mean something.

    You've just gone through a very rough time in your life. This last month has been hellish for you, both physically and mentally. 

    And I think you're dying to get back to someplace good. Someplace familiar and comforting. Not this general chaos you've been experiencing. 

    But I think your fears hold you back sometimes. The clowns represent something scary you're worried about. And the flat tire, and being afraid you couldn't fix it good enough, shows that sometimes you don't believe in yourself or your ability to make things right.

    And you do have a tendency to panic and just run when things get bad, rather than calmly stay and face things and fix them.

    The crystal heart thing is really interesting too. I like what someone above said about it. Your heart is very transparent and open. And perhaps all of these fears and worries you're running from, threaten that part of your heart.

    But it's the most important part of your personality. That openness and willingness to share who you are with people. And I think it's a warning not to lock your heart away.

    Just my 2 cents. You're the one who is always so good at interpreting my dreams. So I hope I did good returning the favor :-)

    day--It was a clown phobic's worst nightmare huh?

    truth--Let me know if you get any ideas about my dream. I'm sorry you dreamt about evil clowns too!

    Cayenne--Clowns really are creepy and evil looking. I hate Ronald McDonald too! What a horrible hamburger mascot. I'm not sure what my dream meant either, but if Stephen King wants to borrow the story, he can :-P

    RC--I love interpreting dreams for other people. I've gotten really good at it over the years, but for some reason it's not always as easy with my own dreams. But I know the clowns had to represent something I'm scared of, because I know I really hate clowns!

    luvlee--Your interpretation made a lot of sense. I have experienced quite a few changes in my life lately, and some of them have been pretty hard to get used to. Thanks for giving it a shot!

    wishy--That was a really good interpretation too. I particularly liked your take on the crystal heart thing. That was the thing that stumped me the most. But I guess I do have a bit of a transparent heart, and lately I have been feeling rather closed off and disconnected due to some other things happening in my life. So that makes a lot of sense....

    kruu--That's a good idea that the clowns could represent depression. Because that's something I fear and it does hold me back from doing a lot of things I want to do. I'll definitely consider picking up that pretty hitchhiker though ;-)

    Oscar--Thank you for trying this. I do tend to wear my heart on my sleeve a lot. And if my car represents my body, it would make sense that it had a flat tire. Because I've been sick recently, and I definitely felt like I was falling apart for awhile.

    Mr. Box--Your interpretation was pretty good :-) I do tend to run from scary problems, rather than try and fix them. If I think I can't do something, I usually just don't even try to do it. So that makes sense. And I did feel recently that my heart was in danger of being locked away, so I guess I could see this is as a warning not to do that....

    Well that is a strange dream....although it looks like you've had a lot of help figuring it out!  I don't really like clowns either but I'm not phobic of them.  Hope you have more enjoyable dreams soon :)
  • evil_twin said on Sep 02, 2008....
    tizzy--I think my dreams got better over the weekend, but I don't remember for sure. I know I dreamt about a snake last night, which wasn't so good. But it was still better than a pack of wild clowns!
