Jeez. I had another dream where my flute cracked, big time. I mean, from one end to another, and not just a split, but in all sorts of directions. Panic, sweat, despair.
Does this mean anything, or should I cut back on midnight snacks?

In the dream, had you been taking good care of the flute? (humidity, temp., not letting it roll off tables )Nanohedron wrote:Jeez. I had another dream where my flute cracked, big time. I mean, from one end to another, and not just a split, but in all sorts of directions. Panic, sweat, despair.
Does this mean anything...?
If you were taking good care of it and it cracked anyway-- this is your subconscious saying to you "No matter what I do, no matter how hard I work, no matter how careful I am, things keep getting screwed up." Sign of burnout?
If, in the dream, the cracking was a result of your carelessness-- then it's your subconscious saying "it's time to make some changes".
I have a recurring dream that involves our aviary (we have about 60 birds). In the dream I suddenly remember that I have a whole flock of birds to take care of, but I haven't given them any food or water for days!! Sometimes the dream ends in the worst possible way (lots of pitiful dead birdies) but once there was an interesting variation. I went up to the aviary to find all the birds alive, but shrivelled looking, like carrots that have been in the refrigerator too long. I picked one bird up and took it to the sink and gave it a good drink. It immediately plumped up.
I took that to mean "Yes you've been careless and done some harm, but don't despair, it's easier to make amends than you thought."
(Then after the bird plumped up, it bit me a good one. )

Actually, I did write "Sliver me timbers" first off, but then I had a feeling that someone would insist on the proper version, so I beat them to the punch ... only to be advised the opposite. Figures.
Maybe this dream isn't about the flute. Maybe its about blowing too hard. Or maybe laying on a little too much lip. Just a thought.

I'd rather be atop the foothills than beneath them.

That's a standard anxiety dream.
a) Is your flute insured? Is your flute an expensive model? Would your mind be made easier by finding a cheaper practice model as well?
b) What else is happening? If the flute is a symbol to you, is it a symbol of everything that's good in your life; music in general; love; family; work; anything else?
If you let this kind of dream prey on your mind, it can become an obsession. When you find yourself stationary with nothing to do, practice daydreaming something good about your flute. Or do this as you fall asleep at night. It gets gilded, or attracts butterflies when you play, or hypnotises somebody or something (rats, if you really must...). If you daydream positive about your flute, the nasty dreams will all but disappear.

Ya, I don't think it's got anything to do with his flute either. I think he hates musicals.

I had a dream a few nights ago that I had five fish but forgot to feed them for a long time, so they became two-dimensional.
