Blind Man Goes Home

Date: 11/1/2025

There were a few parts to this dream but there was definitely a central theme. I'm not totally sure how the timeline went but I'm going to try to make it make sense. I remember my mom was around but I can't remember in what capacity. I was in a house and I was getting ready to go. In the house with me were two teenagers and the house was expensive and I could reflect in the dream that the kids were always well taken care of and always got their emotional and physical needs met. I was trying to prepare a drink for the drive but I could see that I was already leaving an hour and a half later than I wanted to. The kids were also getting ready and I didn't feel as much like the adult in the situation, I felt a little less mature than I think I should have felt. I think where I was going was to a memorial that my supervisor and manager Denise and Nadia told me I should go to. The event was at or near a Costco...I made my drink, got into a vehicle and went to this Costco. It felt like I was in a different town or something. I was going to buy a cake but I was kind of confused and the experience was overwhelming. Then I managed to get on a bus and go down the road a little ways and I made it to the memorial. The memorial was for a blind man and I was surprised that he was actually there. He was trying to come out of the meeting room and I offered to help him. He didn't want my help. He seemed frustrated and a little bit like a punk. Like anti-establishment, a little bit angry, and probably in his late 40s early 50s, I wondered what a nice man he must have been for all of these people to care so much about him. I couldn't understand why he was there because I thought he was supposed to be dead. The next scene I am walking down a beach and there are many many people there I walk towards Veronica and she is right in front of the musicians. I give her a hug and am not talking to her long when the musician stops and comes towards us and talks to me like he knows me. So I go along with it. He is also an older punk type guy and this music show on the beach is also a memorial service for the blind man. The musician tells me that we're having another event later as a memorial for this blind man and I'm not really questioning it, but everyone I encounter is encouraging me to attend these events, but I don't feel like I even know who this blind man is. I do find out that he is going to have medically induced death. But I don't even know why... I wonder what his medical condition is. So the next scene I arrive at a different beach that has a massive open area of sand with beautiful cliffs around, it's dusk. I go with a couple of friends. It's like an attraction and you run down the beach and there are a few massive pumpkins that you can smash and step on and mush up. I get there and I run down the beach and I noticed there are a couple other people that I didn't see behind a rock and they run around and jump in the water etc. Then I go to the lower part of the beach and my neighbor Alex is there and he has been there for a while and looks like he's been having a good time and he asked me if I want to leave with him. I feel in myself that I just got there and I want to experience the beach and the pumpkin smashing but I like Alex so I tell him that I'll tell my friends that I'll leave with him. I wonder what me and Alex will do after this and if it will be worth it. The end

AI generated interpretation Your dream weaves together several rich and emotionally nuanced scenes, each touching on themes of preparation, transition, community, and grappling with uncertainty. The house where you start, housing well-cared-for teens, might symbolize a place of stability and nurturing. Your sense of being less mature or not quite the "adult in the situation" could point to feelings of self-reflection or questioning your own readiness or role in a particular part of your life. Preparing a drink but realizing you're running late underscores an awareness of time slipping or pressures around being prepared before moving forward. The memorial for the blind man presents a compelling symbol. Blindness often relates metaphorically to insight beyond sight, trusting intuition, or confronting what is unseen. The blind man’s unexpected presence—alive in the dream though believed to be deceased—may reflect an aspect of ambivalence or unresolved feelings about letting go, loss, or the unknown process of transformation (suggested by the mention of medically induced death). His punk-like, anti-establishment demeanor adds a layer of complexity, perhaps representing rebellion or refusal to conform, which might resonate with your own feelings about societal expectations or inner conflicts. The gatherings on the beaches convey shifts in emotional landscape. Beaches traditionally symbolize the boundary between conscious and unconscious, the meeting point of stability and flux. The large crowd, music, and memorial events suggest communal support and shared experience, but your feeling of not quite knowing the blind man hints at navigating social expectations or grieving processes with some distance or detachment. The playful scene with smashing pumpkins against the backdrop of beautiful cliffs and dusk evokes release, catharsis, and perhaps the desire to break down barriers or express pent-up emotions. The choice between staying to enjoy this freeing experience and leaving with your neighbor Alex raises an internal dialogue about commitment, exploration, and connection—balancing self-fulfillment with companionship and openness to new possibilities. Overall, your dream seems to explore themes of confronting uncertainty and change, the push and pull between independence and belonging, and the nuanced ways we process loss or transformation—both in ourselves and in relation to others. It invites reflection on how you navigate your role within supportive environments while honoring your own pace and emotional needs.
