The black lion (French version)

Dream #1: The Black Lion

Dream: I was somewhere, visiting some ruins and more precisely close to a slightly broken wall, which was full of flowers and plants; but it was especially the huge white flowers that interested me. Then I was in another place with my sister-in-law and in the distance, a black lion came to attack us. I run to a wall not far away, I climb on this wall filled with greenery and I see from above the lion attacking my sister-in-law. She was covered with newspaper or a strange garment from head to foot and finally everything became quiet...

Dream #2: Crocodile Bite

Dream: I am at the edge of a water point. There are about ten people, hiking. We are looking for crocodiles. I see one and go to get a stick to keep them away. I find some small sticks, I give them to the others. A crocodile grabs me on the thigh. I don't feel its teeth (it is a crocodile without teeth). It doesn't hurt. I didn't see it coming. He goes away. We go to go away. And the guide who knows the crocodiles catches one with the help of a girl of the group. The crocodile turns on itself to escape. They master it. The girl holds its head in her arms, without fear, tenderly. I take pictures, the others too. The girl is standing, it is a little swollen under her blue shirt at the level of the neck. The crocodile has disappeared.

Dream #3: Paralyzed

Sharing: Here is a recurring nightmare that I used to have regularly as a teenager and that I very rarely get now. I remember that when I had this nightmare, it was always in periods of anxiety or I had difficulties or fear to act in the matter.

Dream: I am in my bed (usually everything is as in reality, in the same setting, at the same time, in the same place. This is why this dream is so intense, because I have the impression of living it in my physical reality). My body is asleep, immobile, but my consciousness is awake. I would like to wake up completely, to move my body, but it does not react, it does not move in spite of all my efforts. I am as if imprisoned. I try to move a finger, to make small movements... Impossible. Finally I panic, because often I guess shadows or aggressive characters, threats, danger. (but this aspect of the nightmare has fortunately disappeared today). I try to shout, to scream, to call for help, but no sound comes out. Sharing: In the dream, I know I might have to let my conscious mind go back to sleep, but I am afraid. When I wake up from these nightmares, I am always very shaken and down. Thank you for your help!

Dream #4: Snakes in the Forest

Dream: I am in the forest on a path with my son Jules. We are walking quietly then we hear, all of a sudden, sharp hissing sounds, snake hissing sounds, we see them regrouping and attacking us. I take Jules in my arms and we run. I take refuge with him in a white car (wreck) which does not have any more seats in the front. We get in and sit on the back seat and the snakes are all around the car. They try to get in, which they manage to do through the glove compartment. Jules tells me: "They will bite us and we will die. I tell him: No, we'll just fall asleep. I take him in my arms, the snakes wrap themselves around my legs and arms, like the medical caduceus, their heads above mine, the ones outside don't make any more noise and are calm, we fall asleep calmly and the snakes are put down too.

Dream #5: The lost lover

Dream: I'm in a house (I think it's my mother's house), I'm walking down the hallway pretty fast, I'm dressed in a blue top and a long skirt (I never wear long skirts usually). There is a girl who passes me and rushes off to my mom's room. I continue and I turn around quickly to see her (because I know that she lost her lover caused by an accident: he was hit by a car, I know because I saw the scene. I was a little further, removed from the scene and I saw that people tried to resuscitate the guy but he died. I thought, "Oh no! It's going to be terrible for her", I take her in my arms and rock her, I cry with her with hot tears.
