Hi, I would like to ask for interpretations on a dream I had last night. It was very long and the only clear part I remember is the ending, which took place at a beach that looked abandonned and creepy. A crime had taken place there and there were signs set up by the police to not enter the beach. There was something about the sand and the general atmosphere that gave me lots of anxiety. People were digging in the sand..I wanted to do the same but I was too scared to. Then there was a phone call from a friend I believed went missing or died. The friend warned me to get out of there. I wonder what the sand could stand for. I know that water/sea can be a symbol of the subconsciousness. So maybe the sand could be the path to the subconsciousness? Thanks for your ideas

Maybe you have some old unresolved guilty feelings you are avoiding. The other people digging in the sand could possibly even represent the PC community or maybe a support group, all searching their subconscious, but a part of you is holding yourself back (the missing/dead friend).

The fact that you thought this friend is gone could mean you thought you worked through the defensive shield that holds you back from addressing change, but its back, trying to discourage you from uncovering your true feelings.

The beach setting usually refers to a situation in which reason (land) can be emotionally (water) influenced. In this dream the beach could also refer to a situation involving a “breach” – a breaking of a law or promise, or perhaps a difference or quarrel. Here this does seem indicated by the crime scene involving the police.
The abandoned and creepy beach would suggest that aspects of the Self have moved on and that now a situation is seen simply as emotionally very disturbing.

There is an aspect of yourself (the police) that has designated a situation as one in which some wrong doing has occurred and that you must stay away from that situation. The sand is a symbol of time. The feeling surrounding a situation that time or the passing of time has created, is one of anxiety. In your mind there are aspects of the self reflecting good reasons for digging in the sand. (People were digging in the sand ) Here this could suggest the idea of “digging up the past”. While you may be doing this on a mental level, physically you hesitate out of fear. (I wanted to do the same but I was too scared to)

There is an aspect of yourself representing an idea or way of thinking that could work in your favour (a friend) – one that you might believe is missing and which you are thus in need of, but you could also regard this idea or way of thinking as having already been terminated. (missing or died) Using thinking that could work in your favour, you warn yourself to leave alone a situation or issue buried in time.

Fear of your deeper Self? The sand can hide many things, good and bad.
