A man I know in real life was in the dream, he started expressing his affection for my sister. All the sudden we started running from him. We ran outside in the courtyard and hid inside a school bus but the seats were swings. We sat together for a few moments then we were suddenly in a van. I was driving but I drove it off the side of the road. We heard police sirens so we hid in the tall grass nearby. All the sudden I lost her and I ran back to the mansion. It was empty so I started to leave out the front doors but then I noticed their was paper on he floor. I picked up a few pieces then a hole opened from the floor. There was a decapitated head attached to a string. Suddenly I fell down the hole. After that I was swinging on a swing attached to a tree in a grassy field while singing softly to myself.
How should I interpret this?
Well, I would say you value family alot (therefore a big mansion), but deep inside you are a bit jealous of your sister because she gets more attention (of that man, or maybe your father...), a feeling you can´t accept in yourself seeing it inmoral (therefore the police running) and you feel it as something very bad to hide (the hidden head), but it isn´t something very hidden for you (it's just paper covering it), you probably feel bad for overprotecting her, cause it also involves somehow manipulating her to prevent her from growing and becoming "competence" (you lead her to the school bus). But you yourself don´t feel competent enough to take full control of your life or her's (you drive the van off the road), thought you try hard because responsibility is something very important for you (you drive it by yourself anyway). This all leads you to feel somehow separated and lonely (lonely inside the mansion), and in the end you still feel too young (swinging and singing to yourself).
Am I right? If so, I assure you it isn´t that bad at all, it is not reality, just the way you experience it. And look, for example, I didn´t manage to drive by myself in dreams since I was 25! it was allways my father, and he also drove all of us constantly of the road and into the abyss. Moreover, you schould only carry responsibilities you really want to carry, because that is what it means to be mature, what others await from you is not important at all.
In order to reach lucidity I found very very usefull to wake up earlier, stay awake for awhile and go back to sleep. It is also esential to write down all dreams you can recall, and to recall all dreams you can, laying in bed in the same position you woke up will help you to recall much more, don´t change position cause it affects dream memory. It also helps to learn how to interpret dreams and therefore resolve all psychological content they hide and move forward. I hope this reply helped in that way; allways look at every content of the dream as being a part of yourself, that's the key.
