I had this dream a couple of nights ago where I looked underneath my bed and found two coffins. I don't seem surprised in the least to find them, as if I had just forgotten they were there. I pulled the two out and discarded one of them somewhere, I don't remember. The other coffin was in disrepair, and the body inside would've fallen out if I had tried moving it then, so I went to find a "friend" that knew how to repair coffins. When I found him, I explained to him about my predicament, but when I was finished, he was looking at me like he was really disappointed. It just about broke my heart to watch him turn his heel and leave me. I went back to the coffin and laid my head on top of it. I remember distinctly my decision to guard the body in the casket, so the girl inside wouldn't be alone.
Frankly, I've never had such a strange dream like. Sure, I've had plenty of nightmares, but they were all straight-forward and easy to understand. I've no clue where this one popped up from.

You are no longer neglecting your self. You are now taking care of your self more deeply. You are your own best company.

If it were my dream, I'd watch the progression; at first there are just coffins under the bed with bodies in them. Some emotional or libido (since it's under a bed) parts of me are dead and I am content to "discard" them, I know they are there, they do not surprise me. It is interesting that there are two parts and one gets discarded but then one is getting out of control, is threatening to spill out so you get a friend to help you repair the container but the friend is disappointed that you are trying to do this, to keep containing so you can discard.
When the friend leaves, your attitude changes. You put your head (thinking, not feeling yet) on the container to "protect" it, it has changed from being threatening to being threatened by you. The object inside changes from an anonymous "body" to an actual girl, someone like you. You are becoming more emotionally connected to your "insides", your self. Do you have a therapist? If it were my dream, I would imagine the "friend" was my therapist and whatever we were recently working on is being played out in my dreams. I would see it as a helpful dream, telling me I am getting "better" and coming alive instead of just being a "shell" (dead self/coffin).

I don't have a therapist, but I am a teensy bit relieved that my dream isn't something totally negative. Honestly, things have been looking up recently, and I've found myself feeling much happier or, at the very least, more content than before. Dreammoods can only tell me so much without me automatically assuming there's something gravely wrong. I appreciate you replying :)
