I had just moved into a shared apartment and one of my fellow mates was showing me around. It was a huge apartment, an people sitting everywhere eating soup. Suddenly their stomachs started rumbling very loudly (because they were eating pea soup) and people turned into zombies! They started moving towards me and wanted to eat me, trying to grab me from all directions. Thats when I woke up.
Dream #2
I dreamt about a friend of mine, that he got psycotic and came to my house with a knife. When he saw me coming down the stairs, he threw the knife under the staircase, trying to hide it. He talked to me, and I knew he was psycotic because he stuttered (much more than he does in reality).
Anyone that can help me out?
Do these dreams mean anything you think?
To give you some background information - I'm in my thirties, live a normal life (job, got lot of friends), just met someone that I hope is the Right One, have normal mental health.
Please help me out!

Ms Incognito--
The only way I have ever worked with my dreams in interpretation has bene using the Gestalt Therapy model. Each element in the dream is a part of yourself--in this modality.
You tell the story of the dream from the perpsective of the pea soup, of the stomachs of the transformation into zombies etc--you just keep telling the dream from all these different perspectives. In my experience, generally an insight arises.
It is usually not literal at all. It's a way the mind gets creative with symbols.
Rather than rely on someone else's idea of what the symbols mean, you have to ask yourself what they mean to you?
Just think of this as food for thought--pea soup interpretation from the peanut gallery.
