Had a dream about caving by myself. I went into a cave somewhere just me during the day with no one knowing where I was and no gear. If I had a flashlight it was only my phone. It was a wide tunnel in cave but I only crawled the top part along a wall. One time I exited the cave was into someone’s house in an upstairs room, the house was fully furnished but no one home and I went out the front door. I then reentered the cave again somewhere outside behind someone’s house. I explored further until I came out another exit in someone’s home. This time I hung out, rested, ate, and as I went to leave the mom and dad came home with a son and they wondered why I was in their house. I explained and they were welcoming. I told them I needed to go back and find my shoes because I left them on someone’s steps, but had no idea where. So they walked back a while with me and we found the entrance and then walked outside in the towards their house until we found my shoes. The dad found them and brought them to me. As I was standing around a guy came by and asked me what I had been doing and I told him and he told me I needed to be careful not to do it at night because all the critters come out and it’s not safe. I went back to the house with the family I had met and their daughter came home and we talked and then I woke up. This dream may symbolize a journey of self-discovery and exploration. The cave represents the unknown and unexplored parts of the dreamer’s psyche. Going into the cave alone and without gear may suggest a sense of independence and self-reliance. The dreamer may be seeking to understand themselves better and find their own path in life. The fact that the dream takes place during the day could indicate a conscious effort to confront these inner thoughts and emotions. The use of a phone as a flashlight may suggest the dreamer’s reliance on technology and external sources for guidance. The multiple exits and entrances in the cave could represent different paths and choices in life. The encounter with the family and their welcoming attitude could symbolize the dreamer’s need for support and guidance in their journey. The warning from the stranger about the dangers of exploring at night could represent the dreamer’s fear of facing their inner demons. Overall, this dream may be a reflection of the dreamer’s desire for self-discovery and finding their own way in life.
