Leaving on a Jet Plane

There are really only two things I remember from my dream last night. I swear, they are connected in my brain somehow. I just don't know how.

I had another dream about a bed. But this time, instead of sleeping in it, I was carrying it. A full bed. Through airport security. I made a bet with someone (no idea who) that I could take it through. Once again:

To see your bed in your dream represents your intimate self and discovery of your sexuality.

And on the airport part:

To see a busy airport in your dream signifies the desire for freedom, high ideals, ambition, and hopes. It is an indication that you are approaching a new departure in your life. Some new idea is taking off or is ready to take off. You may be experiencing a new relationship, new career path or new adventure.

I'm pretty sure the definition of bet here has a casino in mind, rather than a "I bet I can do this," "I bet you can't" type of bet. But for the sake of curiosity....

To dream that you are making a bet suggests that you are taking a risk in a relationship or work situation which may not be such a wise choice. Use your judgment and proceed cautiously.

I thought I'd look up other elements of this dream, I'm curious to know if the details I remember actually represent something, or are just there randomly. The airport security was at the bottom of a very long escalator.

To see an escalator in your dream, indicates movement between various levels of consciousness. If you are moving up in the escalator, then it suggests that you are addressing and confronting emotional issues. You are moving through your spiritual journey with great progress and ease. If you are going down the escalator, then it implies repression and descent back into your unconscious. It may be indication of a setback.

The other thing I remember is having a confrontation with someone. I can't remember what she said, but I do remember it was pretty nasty, and all I said after was, "I don't know what to say to that." And that was it.

To dream that you are arguing suggests that you are trying to resolve some internal conflict or some unsettled issue in your waking life. Consider the symbolism of whom you are arguing with and what you are arguing about. How does he or she reflect some person or some aspect of yourself in your waking life?

To dream that someone is being mean to you, suggests that you are being too hard on yourself. You need to give yourself a break. Alternatively, the dream may be a metaphor that you are looking for "meaning" or significance to some life issue.

So not as bizarre as carrying a bed through security, but it was the only other part I remember. I wonder if I should make note that this happened in my childhood home? It seems most of my dreams, or at least the ones I remember, take place there. This time I was in the family room. I recognized it from the wooden beams across the ceiling. I actually forgot they were even there. Anyway, we were in the family room, and doing something, but I can't remember what, and then she left for a date. And I think she was going to a park in Amsterdam? Can't remember exactly where.

This dream actually makes some sense, or at least the second part. The woman I was arguing with is actually someone I know, and I can see how, as the dream dictionary suggests, she represents an aspect of my life. There is a bit of an 'internal struggle', and it's been on my mind, much more in the past week than it's been before. I think in some respects my dreams are beginning to reflect that, or maybe I'm reading into them too much and they are just dreams.
