Running towards alien ship (older dream)

Date: 8/22/2019

I know I am in the midwest somewhere. I slam the screen door against the house as I sprint into am open field which looks like mostly straw. I the air I see a giant alien ship. The size is massive. I start really sprinting towards it, with my arms wide open, willing the ship to take me away. Then the ship starts to kind of short circuit? It reminds me of some kind of holographic image that is powering down. Eventually the ship completely disappears. I remember being very disappointed. Like that was my one shot... I turn back towards the house with my shoulders slumped and feeling defeated. Waiting in the doorway for me is my spiritual mentor. He puts his arm around my shoulder and we go back into the house.

AI generated interpretation Your dream presents rich symbolic imagery centered on longing, opportunity, and guidance. Running toward the massive alien ship with arms wide open might represent a deep desire for transformation, escape, or connection with something extraordinary beyond your everyday environment. The open field of straw could symbolize a transitional or fertile space—perhaps a place of potential, though somewhat barren or uncertain. The alien ship’s holographic-like shutdown and eventual disappearance might express feelings of a missed opportunity or an ideal that seems just out of reach—something that held great promise but ultimately felt unrealized. Your disappointment and slumped shoulders as you turn away suggest a moment of confronting limits or coming to terms with what cannot be grasped at this time. The presence of your spiritual mentor waiting in the doorway carries a comforting and grounding energy. This figure’s supportive gesture implies that even when a hoped-for breakthrough slips away, there is wisdom, care, and inner reassurance to help you return to yourself and find balance within familiar, safe spaces. Overall, the dream seems to explore themes of aspiration and loss balanced by the nurturing presence of guidance and acceptance—reflecting a journey of reaching outward and then turning inward, with emotional navigation between hope and acceptance.
