Elysian dreaming again

I've dreamt of the Elysian Fields a few times in my life. And as always, it was beautiful and elusive. This time, I think I was able to touch some small part of it a little.

And isn’t Paradise always to do with heightened emotions?


Water
To see water in your dream, symbolizes your unconscious and your emotional state of mind. Water is the living essence of the psyche and the flow of life energy. It is also symbolic of spirituality, knowledge, healing and refreshment. To dream that water is boiling, suggests that you are expressing some emotional turmoil. It also may mean that feelings from your unconscious are surfacing and ready to be acknowledged.


To see calm, clear water in your dream, signifies that you are in tune with your spirituality. It denotes serenity, peace of mind, and rejuvenation.

To dream that water is rising up in your house, signifies your struggles and overwhelming emotions.

To dream that you are walking on water, suggests that you have supreme and ultimate control over your emotions. It may also suggest that you need to "stay on top" of your emotions and not let them explode out of hand. Alternatively, it is symbolic of faith in yourself.

What about walking in water?

Land
To see land in your dream, represents nurturance and you need to be grounded. You are seeking for a strong foundation and some sort of stability.


How about land under water?

Field
To see green fields in your dream, symbolizes great abundance, freedom, and happiness. You may also be going through a period of personal growth. Alternatively, this dream may simply be an expression for your love of nature.`


But what if it's green fields under water?

Dreams are such convoluted things, don't you think?
