Big Beetle

I don't remember much of last night's dream, as it was a bit overshadowed by the news that my Aunt Jean passed away. Thank God I saw her 2 days ago before she left back East. R.I.P Jean...I hope you are reunited with my Grandma, your husband and anybody else who you may have known and loved.

As far as my dream, I just remember it being Halloween as it has been in a lot of my dreams lately. We had came from a party (Juliet and I), and went to the store. I forgot why we were there, but it was to find a costume. When we got there, I found a Big Bird costume I wanted to get but it would be too hot. I sat down and had a drink. Monfred showed up and was going ape shit as usual and Nic was there as well. Dylan was also in a corner and started to cry. Nic was watching him and had no idea what to do.

Nic brought Dylan over and Dylan looked at me and started talking. He said "The couch is dirty. You'd better clean it up." He also said other things, but that is what I remember most. A few minutes later, Jenn arrived to get him and I told her that he was talking. She said "Damn it..I always miss it!" and we walked into her living room. She had a new coffee table in there with a metallic finish. I put a drink on it, and the cup left a white ring. She flipped out and I felt horrible...Til I began to look at the frame and I noticed all kinds of carvings. Apparently the party she had, had a few visitors that didn't respect her privacy, and they carved all kinds of things in the table's frame. She was a wreck emotionally and somehow I ended up in my parents living room.

As Juliet, myself, my dad and my mom walked in through the sliding glass door, I noticed a bug fly in. We couldn't find it, so I stood up and there it was under my leg. In my dream I thought it was a beetle, but it was actually one of those large cockroaches. In the dream we all referred to it as a beetle however. I wanted to kill it as did everybody else, but it was so large that we needed something big. I was looking for a fly swatter but never found it. My next idea was a big book, but we couldn't find one that nobody wanted. As the frantic search continues, I told Juliet to go keep an eye on it. She went over, and I was awaken by a phone call of the news, along with my parents need to use my car.

I guess I remembered more than I thought. It all came back to me as I was writing. Might I also add that last night may have marked then end of a great friendship I had, and I have no idea what will come of the results. :(

All in all, this is not my best day.

EDIT:
Dream Interpretation Halloween
To dream of Halloween, signifies death and the underworld. Halloween also represents the temporary adoption of a new persona where you feel less inhibited and more comfortable to freely express yourself.

Dream Interpretation Beetle
Beetle represents ups and downs, success and failure. Seeing a lot of beetles in a dream: losses are inevitable. Catching a beetle: you will make a new friend or resolve a problem. Watching a beetle: you need to be humble if you want people to like you. Killing a beetle in your dream means that you need to come to terms with a mistake.

Are dream symbols BS? What do you think?

Demoted and Unemployed

The dream was 2 nights ago, and it was set in Las Vegas. It was at a webmaster show, and we were at a restaurant that was in the Hard Rock, but it resembled the Grand Lux Cafe. As Don and I were eating dinner with Derek, Don told me that Steve would be taking my position as the top dog, and I grew offended. Don told me not to worry, and that it was still going to be paid the same. I didn't care, so I quit. I remember walking out and feeling helpless and thinking that I would be stuck looking for a new job.

As I walked out, Derek was there and he was wanting to see if I wanted a drink. I obliged and for some reason, he decided he was in a hurry and didn't have time. My helplessness turned to a feeling of abandonment and I woke up.
