(first off feel free to move this to another thread if it is more appropriate there, but the main point of my question is tarot based, so do what you wish :D) Well anyways, I remember parts of a dream I had last night, unfortunately not enough of it for me to make some sense of it... Ok, well the parts i remember are I took my tarot cards somewhere, from my recollection it was something like a campsite on a river... and then I must have left the tarot cards there beside a picnic table or something... Then the dream jumps to some other place and the next thing I remember is that I am with an old friend I haven't seen in years, I can't remember who it was, but that is the feeling that I get about the person, anyways I seem to remember being in a public washroom and when I used the soap machine from the rooftop a large rack of soap dispensers squirted green soap all over the entire room, the machine kind of glided from one side to the other constantly dispensing soap straight down... after that I remember hopping on a raft and ending up back at the campsite... Strangely enough my tarot cards were laid out in some form of a spread by the looks of it... I honestly can't remember the exact look of the spread otherwise I would give more details, but it appeared to me that there was about 15 or 16 piles of cards, I think they were arranged in 3 or 4 rows with 6 cards on the top row with a space seperating them into groups of 3, then there was 4 or 5 cards in the middle row more towards the right hand side and then a couple more cards on the bottom towards the right hand side... I specifically remember my old friend taking some of the cards and messing up the spread before I had a good chance to look at it, but I do believe that I saw 3 princess cards and a 9 of cups in the middle row, then the person I was with took the 3 princess cards and dug through one of the piles in the top row and took the other princess card... (In case you aren't familiar, I have the Ancient Egyptian Tarot, and I believe that the princess is comparable to the page in most decks) Anyways I ran after him to get my cards back, and then when I returned some time later by myself I realized that I had left my cards out and it had rained and they were all ruined... also I don't recall that I returned with the princess cards... Well that is as much of it as i can remember... so do you think my cards are trying to tell me something??? the only thing I can think of, (which i just thought of right now) is that they are warning me of an upcoming flood perhaps... as of right now my tarot cards do not have a special pouch or anything like that, I just keep them on the top of my bed on a hand towel my mom got me from England with usually either my tarot journal, or my small statue of Bast (daughter of Isis and Ra) resting on top of them... and the location of this is right underneath a bedroom window in which last summer there was a flood which came through that very window and caused some extensive damage to the basement... Well that is the only thing I can think of right now, perhaps some of you have other opinions or ideas... many thanks, ShorTerM

ShorTerM: Interesting dream. Dream symbols tend to be subjective; that is, their symbols are oft personal to the dreamer. Aside from the presence of Tarot cards & what happened with them, the rest of the dream may be "fillers"; however, the settings of a public washroom, the soap colour, the campsite all could have significance. I note that both the washroom & the campsite are indicative of public places. 4 Princesses/Pages can indicate a warning. Off the top of my head: the main theme seems to be alerting ye to the possibility of damage to your cards by water. Besides getting damaged in the event of a flood, they could conceivably get wet from rain near an open window. Btw: I am familiar with the Ancient Egyptian, one of my favorites.
