Hi,

I'm completely new here, but I just had a very vivid and disturbing dream that I just can't get out of my head, and I figured I'd sign up and ask people who knew what they were talking about. Any help would be nice.

The dream itself contained all sorts of themes that usually run through my other dreams, biking, going to a school, walking through the mountains, having food, attending classes, worrying about tests and homeworks, secret passages, things I'd expect being a student right now. All of that is already fading away, so I don't know the exact context of the following scene.

I'm standing in my parents' bedroom, specifically in a sort of "sink/dressing room" section that's separated from the rest of the bedroom by a wall with openings on both sides, and a large mirror on the wall facing the sink area, with two sinks on a long table on the sink side of the wall. On the other wall opposite the mirror is a row of sliding-door closets, each sliding door is a mirror.

I'm standing at and leaning over the rightmost sink, looking into the mirror on the separating wall. There's pressure or movement in and on my skull, and I scratch my hair, only to see a small spider in my hair. I have a mild fear of spiders, so I try to carefully get it out by turning on the water and washing it off. When I look back up, there are several hand-sized creatures in my hair, looking at me through the mirror. There's a crab-mite-spider thing, a hairless tarantula, some sort of elephant, and other things I don't quite recall.

I hear voices or narration, as if this scene was in a story, telling me to tap on the side of my head, to attract elephants from inside. I obey, and something like a tiny, greyish, mucous-covered fetal elephant's trunk comes slithering out my ear. I pull on my earlobe, and the opening yawns to impossible proportions though I feel no pain, and with some movement I squeeze out a yellow, blobby, fetal elephant that wriggles slowly as if in confusion or pain. The creature is about the size of four or five fists, filling half the sink. I do the same on the other earlobe, and an even larger yellow elephant fetus falls into the sink with a splat. Somehow, they get sucked down the drain of the sink.

I hear the narration voice saying that they are made of thoughts, like parasites, and that it's no wonder that they resided in my brain/mind, the largest concentration of fat and thoughts in the body. I look down into the sink to see the crab-spider-mite trying to crawl out of the sink drain, and I wash it away with running water.

That's all I recall of that section of the dream, other than walking away to try showing someone what happened, which only lead to the scene changing to another place entirely and my dream-self forgetting about the incident.

Can someone please tell me what all this means? Is there some sort of thought- parasite taking up space or something? Or an infant thought that could one day become huge? Something of a combination?
