Dream of circus, window, steps, clown, distance, zebra, mask, shock, watch, fall, side, animals, apartment, death, open, air, walking, yelling, bathroom, 911, balcony, dark, night, platform

I've had the dream twice in a row. I'm looking out the apartment window from a dark bathroom and it is the middle of the night. Below me is a fenced off balcony, a stretch of free air, and a high concrete platform. I see the shadows of circus animals in the distance, and then a clown walks forward. He is wearing a creepy mask, and I feel like he looks right at me. At his side there is a zebra, and he's leading it to the edge of the concrete platform. The zebra reaches the raised portion at the end of the platform, steps up, and is ordered to start walking. I watch it slip and fall down into the open air. When I look up in shock after witnessing a zebra's death, the clown is wearing a normal mask. And he is staring right at me. Afterwards I run into the hallway, yelling for someone to call 911.

Meaning of death in a dream

End of a cycle. Something is finally over. To dream of seeing any of your people dead, warns you of coming dissolution or sorrow. Disappointments always follow dreams of this nature. To hear of any friend or relative being dead, you will soon have bad news from some of them. Dreams relating to death or dying, unless they are due to spiritual causes, are misleading and very confusing to the novice in dream lore when he attempts to interpret them. A man who thinks intensely fills his aura with thought or subjective images active with the passions that gave them birth; by thinking and acting on other lines, he may supplant these images with others possessed of a different form and nature. In his dreams he may see these images dying, dead or their burial, and mistake them for friends or enemies. In this way he may, while asleep, see himself or a relative die, when in reality he has been warned that some good thought or deed is to be supplanted by an evil one. To illustrate: If it is a dear friend or relative whom he sees in the agony of death, he is warned against immoral or other improper thought and action, but if it is an enemy or some repulsive object dismantled in death, he may overcome his evil ways and thus give himself or friends cause for joy. Often the end or beginning of suspense or trials are foretold by dreams of this nature. They also frequently occur when the dreamer is controlled by imaginary states of evil or good. A man in that state is not himself, but is what the dominating influences make him. He may be warned of approaching conditions or his extrication from the same. In our dreams we are closer to our real self than in waking life. The hideous or pleasing incidents seen and heard about us in our dreams are all of our own making, they reflect the true state of our soul and body, and we cannot flee from them unless we drive them out of our being by the use of good thoughts and deeds, by the power of the spirit within us. See Corpse.

Similar Dreams

Well in the beggining, I was in the top of balcony near coast completly alone, so I went down the cobblestone steps surrounded by beautiful summer houses full of plants, until I got all the way down to the beach. Then I emerged on a wide promenade along the very edge of the beautiful sea. The promenade was more or less deserted, but I noticed some groups of young people talking to each other and I suddenly felt sad because I remembered that I was alone. Until suddenly, out of nowhere, a beautiful blonde girl approached me with the friendly intention of hanging out. Suddenly I didn't feel so alone and I was happy. We had a little walk, talking a bit with each other. I didn't even manage to ask her name. Then I woke up and felt a kind of sadness. That's my whole dream in a nutshell. Even I managed to notice a lot of symbolism in this dream. So hope you can help me even more to understand the meaning of my dream. Thank you.

My dream looped so the same scene played over and over. I had went down a friend’s house, they’d invite me in, and then we’d end up going outside through the back door where they had some sort of outside circus, but no circus tent. As I walked around I came across a smaller tent but it was full of my friends, around 5 people, who were surgeons. They were cleaning medical tools as if they were preparing for surgery. I left shortly after that and came across some giraffes. 2 adults and a baby giraffe. They were standing side by side with the baby in the middle, but I went up and pet the baby giraffe and it seemed to love the attention. After that my dream would replay from the beginning where I arrive at my friend’s house.
