Dream: Stole golden egg, which then turned to stone

[JAW]

Straight from my dream journal:

"Driving in a secluded wooded area, not suburbia. Came down a lengthy driveway to a house and went inside, was with 2 other people, my friends? We were looking for something, I have a feeling we were trying to steal something or find something specific, as I recall seeing big tv's and hi fi systems yet we didn't really take any notice of them. We were about to leave having found nothing when someone noticed a loose corner piece in the roof and pulled on it. Heaps of dirt or rubbish fell out along with a massive (head sized) golden egg. It was like a rock shaped egg, not gold all over but more veined/speckled. We took it and left the house very exited and overjoyed but soon after it lost the golden sheen and it was nothing more than a piece of garbage stone with no gold visible at all. The dream ends around that point."

Does anyone have any ideas of what this could mean? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Hi JAW

I'll have a go, but as you know, only you really can interpret it.

Driving in a secluded wooded area, not suburbia.

A part of yourself that is more private?

Came down a lengthy driveway to a house and went inside, was with 2 other people, my friends?

The house normally represents YOU, as in the whole of you.  Two friends - unsure about this - do you know them in physical life?  Otherwise, they may be helpers, or aspects of yourself.

We were looking for something, I have a feeling we were trying to steal something or find something specific, as I recall seeing big tv's and hi fi systems yet we didn't really take any notice of them.

Material things are of no interest to you (in this particular instance).

We were about to leave having found nothing when someone noticed a loose corner piece in the roof and pulled on it. Heaps of dirt or rubbish fell out along with a massive (head sized) golden egg. It was like a rock shaped egg, not gold all over but more veined/speckled.

You thought you found something valuable, because of the gold colour.

We took it and left the house very exited and overjoyed but soon after it lost the golden sheen and it was nothing more than a piece of garbage stone with no gold visible at all.

You saw the true value of what you believed would bring you wealth/happiness?

The dream ends around that point."

The disappointment of this realisation was enough to wake you up!

I think you need to revisit this dream - it seems poignant.

Hey Selski,
Thanks for that, I found the parts about the house being me and the "something being more valuable than otherwise suspected" particularly interesting... Its funny though because if anything, lately Ive found that something I thought wasn't so valuable has turned out the other way around, unless Im about to get another reversal!

Its funny this dream stuff, even if you had a vivid one about a relationship ending or your business going under, you still have to think "was this 'just a dream' or should I take any action". So in the end you still really dont know what to do hehe.

Thanks again,
Regards,
