What does this dream mean?
I've been having this really weird dream since I was about 4.
In it,I am walking up a concrete ramp in a concrete cylinder buliding.It has no railing,and never seems to end or start in 1 place.it goes up the sides of the cylinder building,and there is this huge space in between each edge of the buliding so that you can see down forever into the darkness.As i am walking up the ramp,I am dressed in rags and have to pick up all of this lint that has collected where the floor and the wall meet idky.There is no talking.After a while,i come up to my brother on the ramp as I am doing my job of collecting lint.he is doing the same job, except going in the opposite direction as me.I feel very anxious throughout it.We pass ea\ch other, and soon he is out of sight. Suddenly I come to a concrete landing,and my mother is standing there in a pink wedding dress,no one else is there.I feel extremly anxious at this part and scream,but nothing comes out.then becomes a cadallac. I start 2 fall & wake up
Answer:
Nice dream. That it is a recurrent dream, and one with strong feeling content, suggests it is an in-sleep continuation of an attempt to resolve an early psychological issue, and so likely interpretable. My immediate response is that it is an oedipal dream. There are symbols of erection. There is your mother, in pink (not white; deflowered only in wish, so not red either). There is a rival male (opposing you, symbolically, in direction). When he is gone you have access to your mother. What you want to do you think is shameful and dangerous, so you can't talk about it - "there is no talking". The rags are a disguise of yourself - your mother wouldn't recognise her "good" boy approaching her to rape her, and also a symbol of your inferiority in your eyes and, you think, hers - a boy, not a man. Your lint-picking is grooming behaviour, but for the moment deflected from its desired object. Your mother, obviously not a virgin (not in white) , would seem however to have remained "unconquered" by a man - "no one else is standing there", so you feel you can have a go at the summit. To give you courage you represent your "equipment" to yourself as a cadillac, but when you lose your sleep erection you fall in despair. You are a virgin, I think. This dream will look after itself, like some other things in your life, when you reach the climax with someone, as I hope you do with all its wondrous good things. My comments are rather two dimensional - the dream itself and its context are at least three dimensional, so much richer than I can describe in such a few words - as you yourself are. Love to you.

There must have been instances in your life that you have become so rude. Collecting lint symbolizes sacrifice and the cylinder building is your life and your brother doing the same symbolizes rudeness for each other or some point to others.
Your mother in the pink wedding dress symbolizes difficult remarriage and the dark floors symbolizes turmoil and the no start and no end symbolize your doubts.
In your dreams, screams could not be heard but it is one way for you to wake yourself up.
Are there some things bothering you? Feel free to release it coz the dream is a sign of your inner imbalances.
It's a dream about how you are trying to work your way to heaven and family or your family's religion is getting in the way of you getting to your destination. Salvation through Jesus Christ.
It sounds like you feel, or felt trapped by your mothers situation. I, of course, cannot say what that situation is, but what seems evident is that you feel trapped by your mothers relationship and/or marriage either to your father, step father, or separation from said parent (The Wedding Dress). Also, it seems like you feel headed in the same direction your brother had already been, unless he is younger, then maybe you feel that he is headed in the same direction you have been (Both of you passing each other in different directions). Finally, it looks like you feel like you and your brother have to "clean up" a "mess" (the lint), that has been created by the above mentioned "situation".
The concrete, being uniform and unchanging, may symbolize a loss of individuality or the manifestation of a feeling of worthlessness. The fact that is never ends nor has any railings shows that it is not there to help you and, in fact, mainly antagonizes you. The shape of the building, with no definitive beginning or end, further supports my theory regarding you feeling unwanted or worthless. The fact that you and your brother are doing the same menial job in rags shows a kinship or a feeling of that worthlessness or loss of individuality. However, he is going the opposite direction as you, so that may signify a competitive nature between you two. Finally, because your mother is the most significant part of this dream and ends it she may be the subject that brings it all together.
My final analysis:
You feel as though you may be pitted in some sort of competition with your brother, or feel a loss of identity as you are compared with your brother. Academics, sports; something is synonymous between you two and your Mother is responsible for it. Your loss of identity at being compared to your brother makes you anxious.
I'm not exactly sure what your dream mean, but whenever I want to understand my dreams better, I just search for certain things that I can remember from it.

For example Mother mean: To see your mother in your dream, represents the nurturing aspect of your own character. Mothers offer shelter, comfort, life, guidance and protection.
And falling mean:To dream that you fall and are frightened, indicates a lack of control, insecurity, and/or lack of support in your waking life. You may be experiencing some major struggle and/or overwhelming problem.
I know that this won't answer your question and I could come up with about 5 diferent interpretations for your dream.
However, if you have had this dream at 4, this means that you need to consider what other things you remember at that age.
Something major happened to you, or someone you knew at that age and your mind is trying to get you to understand it. what you see, you picking up lint, might be something real like you seeing someone picking up lint, who might be poor. Or something more symbolic, someone going through trash collecting cans and bottles (lint) to make ends meat as they were poor(in rags).
If you are someone who's family was well off, then maybe this isn't about money but about emotions and feelings. Without knowing more about your history, you will probably get a ton of interpretations.
What I do know is that to have a dream that lone (I assume 10 years +) means it's a major deal to you. your anxiousness means that you see this as a bad thing. The darkness and the limited feeling on the ramp shows that you felt(and feel) that you don't have much if any, control.
then ask, where was your mother as you grew up? did she die, or leave? did she love you or treat you indiferently? Did your bio-father leave you and her, did he die, or was he indiferent to the family?
the dreams is like a tv episode. but if you don't know the history behind it, it does you little good.
This dream, as with any dream means NOTHING. Basically, all it really means, is that your mind is capable of imagining these things, or that you have memories of certain things that your brain randomly was able to string together. The only scientific guess as to why you have dreams is because either your brain stays active by random thought activity, or its sorting through what information is needed and what isn't. The only reason you still have this dream, is that you haven't forgotten about it yet so your brain is capable of generating it. Try not to worry about, and get some sleep!
the concrete ramp is the stationary you. the concrete cylinder is also you , but with the emotional side mixed in. no railings means that you have no walls up when it comes to expressing or feeling things. cylinder buildings also mean that your feelings are intact and strong. the spaces in between each edge means that you have space to breath or feel free to be what you want. although you are at odds (or worried) with your brother going in a different (opposite) direction. forever into the darkness just means that you can not see what the never ending future will bring and you so want to. the lint is dirt that you have picked up along the way (& your brother). i.e. gossip, bad family things, bad ancenstry etc... the anxiousness is letting the brother go the opposite way, knowing that you are going the right way, but yet knowing that he will have to find his way. the mother in pink is just that; nurturing, a mother, strong, but not so strong. not able to protect or see because of other influences. the cadillac on the other hand, is freedom. a transport from one emotion to the other. which means that you have control of your own destiny. god bless
