Hi!

Great detail (you gotta have it!)....I'm wondering how you felt when someone asked you to remove the snail? Did you think it was a shitty job? Any fear? Or was it like: do I have to do this, why me? Or what feelings...?

The details you give of the warm and inviting home with polished floors is good - it's showing that this home (an aspect of yourself) is in good shape (doesn't need renovation or anything - is comfortable, polished). I'm wondering if something is going on with your own home right now? (snails carry their homes on their backs - but they are slimy little creatures inside...)

The fact it turned into a dog...hmmm...I always think of dogs as being a symbol of our conscious minds (cats are subconscious)....so perhaps you are actually conscious of what this dream represents?? Or....something about your own home is going to bubble up to your conscious mind verrrry soon...

Whadya think?

Missed something very important!

Your 'home' is also your 'self' - you live inside your SELF...sooooo...have you had some realizations about your Self recently?

Also....would love to hear what your interpretation is - as it is probably correct!

The dream indicates a situation in which the mental attitude being used gives a very positive and favourable impression. (in a house – very warm and inviting) There is evidence of intelligence being used (lamps giving light) that also may seem quite loving (soft lighting). However it needs to be noted that this is not light or intelligence that needs to be looked up to or greatly respected as these are table lamps – not ceiling lamps. This is portable light which implies knowledge or ideas brought into the mind from outside sources. A basic principle found in this mental attitude may be very “above board” – honest, legitimate (floor boards) and suggest knowledge that reflects intelligence. (wooden – highly polished) This also means that the activity performed on such a floor could be regarded as “above board”. Here this might apply to putting out plates of food – possibly the idea of a buffet type meal or simply the idea of sharing food for thought with other people.

The snail, being an animal, represents an emotional aspect of your own nature, one that can incline you towards slowness or proceeding slowly. (“at a snails pace”) In this situation there is apparently no real room for this quality of nature (snail in the hallway) and an aspect of yourself reacts with horror to it. (one of the people cries out in horror) While you feel expected to get rid of any inclination to go slowly, the True Self does not look forward to doing so – probably because this aspect of nature is found not to be overly emphasized or intensely felt (small), there is intelligence in it (yellow), and it leaves nothing hidden (transparent) and it can take other forms (plastic)

As you take the option (door) to try and eject – or reject – this feeling of going slow, this feeling is seen in a different form. (not a snail but a dog). When slowness is seen in terms of a dog , i.e. as a feeling that can be “man’s best friend” – you could ask yourself why you are rejecting this aspect of your nature. The friendly aspect of the snail-dog seems quite desirable. (lovely dog)

On a physical level of interpretation, the snail will represent someone who gotten into a situation and is not welcome – probably someone slow [at picking up on new ideas ?] or perhaps who gives an impression of having a lowly nature but who can also be seen for their friendship and loyalty. A plus factor is that the person is very transparent.
