Pretty good.

This dream can mean 1 of 3 things;
1) Nothing at all (Your mind just imagines random thoughts of events with a hint of retardation.

2) I'm guessing the endless path is your life...The (fake) trees shows that you are realizing that life is not as good as you thought it was (I*t's long and boring). The nets are just fucked up... the runnning I'm guessing is the will to live... You just want to stop, but yet you can't. I believe your slowly going into some depression, but then you come to the hills ansd just keep going (showing determination). And at the end you fing the "Gate" maybe something that makes life liveable (A girlfriend, goodjob, ANYTHING) and the house is simply showing you that you have to work to enjoy your life...maybe you will really enjoy...

3) It's your mind slowly drifting from reality because of your acid binges...Ask your doctor if Acid buinges is the cause of outerbody encounters...lol

TheMillz responds:

LOL, Jeeze, everybody's # 3 is some hilarious antidote about me taking in some product my body reacts to...

For th record, I'm hardcore antidrug, but mabey some ecstacy slipped into the water supply or something...

Complex

At the beginning of your dream, you see a dark path with an abyss at the end of it. The dark path could symbolize the way your life currently is since you kind of said that your life sucked and the abyss could either symbolize a warning to something which is yet to come or where you life is going to eventually end up. The trees lining the road could possibly symbolize all of the people around you whether you know them or not because a lot of people seem kind of lifeless, dull, and dark like the trees. The rain could either symbolize the pain that you're currently going through if you have any pain, it could symbolize that a part of you has been washed away or forgotten, or it could symbolize someone you've lost. The person you see in your dream running could symbolize a guide meaning when it ran down the path and disappeared that means that you might have lost something important. When the figure reappears and runs underneath the volleyball nets, the nets might symbolize something which is currently threatening you or it could show that your life or someone else's life is possibly in danger since you said that gate you passed on the cliff made it safe the figure to stop running. The long path it ran might symbolize either the long road you have to take to either change your life, seek safety from something, or gain something that you have lost. The housing building might symbolize either that something in your life is missing since it was missing a wall or since the figure ran there it might mean that you have to find or track down something important which could greatly affect you life. Since the building is on a cliff overlooking the woods that could mean that the place you have to seek is high up on a hill or something life that or that you have to put it above the other things in your life because it is more important. Since there was only fire in the housing building that could mean that if you do have to seek something out or find something then that thing could be fading away slowly or that you yourself are running out of time to find it. Also, the fire could indicate that it is something extremely important. Finally, the gate which you said made you feel safe could either mean that the thing you need to seek is near a place such as a police station, the place or thing you need to seek is near someone you know, lost, or loved, or the gate could be a symbol or mark near the building or thing you need to seek that tells other to stay away.

Your dream was very interesting and if you feel like that dream was really important or that it would affect you greatly in some way then seek it out and find out what it meant.

This is the best answer that I can give based on the flash that you have made. You also did a good job making the flash.

I'm no expert.

As far as I know, dreams usually tend to dwell on things foremost in your mind. I could start rambling on about metaphorical shit, but that doesn't do you much good, seeing as I don't know you. I will take a few educated guesses. I'm going to assume the figure is you, due to the pain you feel. The fact that the figure is white could represent your good side, as the landscape is dark and given 'evil' tones. The nets most likely represent some kind of requirement you feel that you have to stay above. The path could be your life, the way you live it, which would mean the hills are obstacles you face. I have no idea if you're religious or not, but maybe this could be some sort of struggle of your conscious. You may feel like a good soul trapped in a cold world. Which could mean the open apartment is either you feeling very exposed to the world. Whoops, guess I rambled on about metaphorical shit.

What ever you do, don't take any one opinion of someone else as the only correct answer. This is your dream, which means it's connected to your subconscious. It can only use what you have seen and know. Whatever the answer is, it lies within yourself. =O. Oh. I guess bluegriffin already said that. well. this is awkward.

Here's how the story ends

Dude, I can tell you what would happen.

If you stopped running in the dream, these two giants would step out from the side of the road, and one of them would pick you up and thow you over the volleyball net. Then the other giant would smack you back over to the other side.

They would keep playing until their volleyball - that's you - fell apart in a pulped mess.

I hope that helps answer one of your questions.

Hey what's that grinding sound ?

Oh. It's okay, it's just Freud spinning in his grave again.

But seriously, a very interesting, thought provoking Flash. Maybe try a little Lucid Dreaming to see if you can get back to the same dream place, then you might receive more parts of the jigsaw puzzle.

HMM.

Finally someone made an animation of his dream! You know, there is absolutely no material as original as one's dream.
It was really interesting by the way. I'm studying to become a psychologist so I loved analyzing it.
Running (and tiring) for no reason on "endless roads" or deserts or woods may sometimes mean stress and hopelesness. The feeling of insecurity. Being lost.
Of course it might as well be a scene from a movie which you've seen but don't remember anymore.
The nets, which seemed to make you panic, may represent something unpleasant for you as objects or symbols; you may have an unpleasant memory of a situation which involved a net of some sort OR they may be a symbol, like a trap or an obstacle which you're afraid of at the moment in your life.

I know you've probably figured out all this by now but oh well, it was fun to analyze. Thank you for your interesting animation anyway. There should be more of these.

P.S.
Is there anything that didn't make Freud think of penises?
