Dream Interpretation?

[FadeEsdrasX]

I have been working with dreams for sometime. Usually I don't have too much dfficulty interpreting my dreams. However this particular dream I am having difficulty with.
I was wondering if anyone had a take on this dream.

In the middle of the ocean a song played. Beings pale and dyeing were hung by limbs. They were half submerged in the icy endless body of water. As the song played their restraints snapped. They fell into the ocean and began to swim. To any direction. perhaps all in the same one. To find land. As the song went on it went between showing the swimming people to showing more people's restraints being snapped and more swimming souls. Most white and pale others silver and what looked unmistakably as alien eyes and faces. A small bit of what felt like my childhood dreams came back to me. Then the scene faded away and was replaced by a figure painted on stain-glass. The one last thing I remember are the words "everybody's pain"

I must admit I do not have much experience with interpretting dreams, but I would still like to try and help you, as your dream seems very interesting.
Maybe the dream is about death and being reborn. The song could represent transience, the progression of life to death, and if the song repeated, maybe life, death and rebirth as a cycle.
Maybe the land could represent life, and the ocean the phase inbetween death and being reincarnated.
white could maybe show that they are souls, and therefore pure?
The childhood dreams coming back to you may be in association with reincarnation, and choosing what your next life will be. Maybe it is the stage of looking back over everything you have done in your life and what you have wanted to do, and that applies to what will happen in your next life.
I can't think of what "everybody's pain" may indicate.
well, in the end this dream can really only be interpreted fully by yourself, but I hope I have helped
Good luck.

That was quite an interesting interpretation. Thank you, very much for taking the time to read through my dream.

It seems to me like the dream represents a desire to escape a difficult situation, but something is holding you back. You want to break free, but you're afraid that you will end up in another bad situation.

Souls/aliens = you
Hanging by limbs = you feel like you're hanging on
Restraints snapping = breaking free
Falling into cold water = falling into another depressing situation
Swimming away = trying to get away from that second situation
"Everybody's pain" = everybody goes through this in their life

Hope this helps!

Uhmm.. the music is a subconcious symbol that most people have to represent unity, harmony, and connectedness between all souls.  The music is the overlying spirit that connects all beings on the earth to you.  The souls hanging in the water are the people who live on earth.  We feel pain because of the things that are going on in the world.  If you were watching this in third person, then that means that you are special and have the capacity to make a difference and stop the pain.  You are able to see everybody's pain, and if you choose to, you can make a difference. 

The aliens are a symbol for some higher power that is intervening in the earth.  The higher power believes in you and wants to send you important messages and work through you.

The figure painted on stained glass is "the one" or the higher power that you believe in.  To me, it is a symbol of stregnth and power.

Thank you Jen and Lily. The interpretations clicked nicely when I read them.
Thanks again.
