Meditation symbols, Multiple dreams. What?

Okay...

So, Before falling asleep I saw an image while meditating.

It was of a tree, stretching up wards looking normal, but the bottom of it, where one would expect to see roots was more like two large roots coming from either end, looking more like fangs, or triangles.

I drew a rough sketch above, of what it was similar to.

I also did some energy work, saw some more baby blue background colors, did some shielding with specific instructions on who or what was allowed in, I specifically said to 'let the dreams come' while doing the sheilding.

I had a dream about being at work, where Rosi asked me to stay til 1:30 instead of staying til 1.  Fun fact, I got out of work early Sunday, 1PM, instead of staying til 2.  *shrugs*

Another dream was me being at home, taking vitamins.  For some reason I couldn't swallow the multivitamin. I kept chocking on it, and spitting it back into my hand, and it was melting quite badly. I attempted to take it one more time, and it ended up breaking in my mouth into three pieces, and one of them lodged into the back of my throat.  I remember spitting out two of them, and feeling the last one lodged there, chocking on it.  Reaching back into my throat I attempted to grab it with my fingers.

I woke up, made a recording of the dream on my DVR, and then went back to sleep. 

The next dream was also quite interesting.  I dreamed that I stole my brothers lighter from his room, and took it to mine.  While I was there I smoked a couple of cigarettes then grabbed something else. It looked like this.

It was tied with red yarn, and was quite dry, smoldered quite a bit, but stayed lit when it was dragged on.

I mention that it is similar to the thing that I saw while meditating, but it wasn't have the pointed edges at the bottom, though the thing in the meditation reminded me more of a tree, where this is a bound bundle...

I was smoking these things in my room, and it was quite dark... I remember seeing the color of the flame from the lighter dancing across the room when I lit one of these things.  The cigarettes didn't have much effect on me, but when I lit the bundle it felt like I had suddenly drank a whole six pack of beer in short order.  Buzzed and or drunk, I remember getting up, and going to my door of my room, and looking out into the hallway, I blew smoke into the hallway and watched it linger.  I looked towards my parents room, and closed the door, noticing the light was on in their room, but only near my mothers computer.

I sat down and relight the bundle, and noticed it seemed to have some sort of leaves on the edges of the sticks, but not down into the base. I took a few more puffs, and then the door to my room opened.  I remember shaking the stick and watching the embers go out, the smoke waft into the air.  I put it behind my bed, and took a leaf from a tree and put it next to it.  The lighter was still in my hand, still lit, even though I had a hard time lighting it the second time and I remember hiding it behind my back, I remember seeing the light playing off my arms, and closing the lid to put it out, but never being burned, or anything catching on fire even though I remember putting it down on my bed while it was still on.

My brother was in my doorway showing me a rope that was seemingly chewed though. it was alternating yellow/orange/black rope.  He went to go show my mother, and her door was now closed and he just walked into her room like he did mine.  I took the lighter downstairs, and it was really dark down there too.  My father was sitting in his recliner in the living room, and said hello.  I went and put the lighter into my brothers room and left it on his tower speaker.

I also barely remember having a dream about an angel like figure being chased down for one reason or another, but also remember believing that it wasn't me that they were chasing... maybe I was watching someone else being chased?

*shrugs*

Dreamin'

I had a seemingly epic dream last night.

I found myself attempting to get into my place of work at night.  The store itself was seemingly darker than it has ever been before. I was with at least 2 friends, and I don't remember why I wanted to get into the store itself. I then heard something moving in the pitch black parking lot behind me.

Turning around I saw a shopping carriage roll past the entrance that I was standing at. Suddenly The 'parking lot' seemed to shift.  My car was now parked down a hill next to a large grassy hill.  The carriage moved down towards my parked car, and I remember thinking "I hope that doesn't hit my car!"

The carriage seemed to turn sideways and stopped in front of my car without hitting it.  I then heard another carriage starting to move.  Looking into the darkness of what was once again my works parking lot, I could see nothing.  Another shopping cart went flying past, heading towards where my car was parked, suddenly there was another car parked there, I believe it could have been my mothers white car.

I called out into the darkness "Who's there!" No one answered.  I heard a noise behind me, and turned around, someone walked out of a doorway, I turned to my friends and we walked down the hill towards the cars.  I got into mine, while they get into the other one.  My dog came running down the hill and I opened the passenger door for her. Getting into the car myself I started the engine.

The car sounded like shit.  It honestly sounded like it was in either the wrong gear or that something was horribly wrong with the transmission.  I somehow found myself driving to the mall, while it was still dark out.  I managed to get inside and just wandered around.  No one bothered me while I was there.  I wandered though the empty stores, sometimes seeing nighttime personnel, but otherwise not seeing many people.

I made my way to the exit of the mall and saw a couple of cute girls, I walked up to my car, and theirs was parked right next to mine.  Somehow I found myself getting into the back seat of their vehicle, and I looked at the one getting into the passenger seat.  "You know, if you wanted to you could get into the back seat with me?" I remember either thinking or saying.  I then remember freaking out a bit, wondering if I had said that out loud or to myself.

I think this is when I woke up.

I do have two other 'dream segments'

One was where I was at work, in the receiving area.  I believe one of the part time receivers was there, Laura, a women that I knew back in 4th grade or so.  I remember I had a pillow, and was spraying it with something, Lysol or febreeze or something similar.  Someone then walked into the back room and grabbed it from me, and put their head down on it. 

This could have come before the whole 'being outside of work' or something completely unrelated.

I then had another dream  I was looking at a system of roots.  At the end of each 'branch, was something resembling an eye.  These eyes either stropped there or had two child nodes coming out of them, and so on with each resulting node.  Something was manipulating these nodes, causing the last nodes to either grow new child nodes, or for one of the adult nodes to absorb the power of the child nodes.

I remember thinking that whoever was manipulating this situation was doing so to make each of these nodes as powerful as possible.  I then saw one of these 'trees' roots to move, and to cause the eye to disconnect, it fell and hit somewhere, and exploded.  "I think they are doing this to create weapons." I thought.

That was my dreams from last night...  *shrugs*  In other news Ive been feeling slightly under the weather, headache, stuffy nose, sneezing, couching, phlegm, I feel a bit better now though.
