We lied there quiet. We could speak and not say a word. Language was not an obstacle because we had our own; it was a mental communication that did not need words or symbols, or even hand gestures for that matter. It was like the coming of one single being, formed by two. Communicating our thoughts, emotions, experiences... souls, to one another. In a brief moment or two, our entire worlds had been collaborated and explained; as if our entire lives brought us to that very moment; we were exactly where we were suppose to be at exactly the right time. We closed our eyes and caressed each other. An image of two streaming lights, one orange and the other blue, running parallel in a black abyss. They kept getting faster, and began approaching each other slowly. Then, suddenly, a merge. They blended into one another with such magnificence. Our eyes instantly shot open.
To see your own eyes in your dream, represent enlightenment, knowledge, comprehension, understanding, and intellectual awareness. Unconscious thoughts may be coming onto the surface. The left eye is symbolic of the moon, while the right eye represents the sun. It may also be a pun on "I" or the self. If you dream that your eyes have turned inside your head and you can now see the inside of your head, then it symbolizes insight and something that you need to be aware of. This dream may be literally telling you that you need to look within yourself. Trust your intuition and instincts.
To dream that you have something in your eye, represents obstacles in your path. Alternatively, it may represent your critical view and how you tend to see faults in others.
To dream that you have one eye, indicates your refusal to accept another viewpoint. It suggests that you are one-sided in your ways of thinking.
To dream that you have a third eye, symbolizes inner vision, insight, instinct or some psychic ability you have yet untapped. You are able to see what others cannot. Or you need to start looking within yourself and trust your instincts.
To dream that your eyes are injured or closed, suggests your refusal to see the truth about something or the avoidance of intimacy. You may be expressing feelings of hurt, pain or sympathy.
To dream that you have crossed eyes, denotes that you are not seeing straight with regards to some situation. You may be getting your facts mixed up.
To dream that your eyes are bleeding, symbolizes the sacrifices your have made and the difficulties you have endured. Alternatively, the dream signifies some very deep pain or internal conflict within your soul. Although you may not feel any physical pain, you are hurting inside. Perhaps you have been hiding the pain for so long that you forgot what pain feels like. There is some unrest or uneasiness within which needs to be addressed and resolved immediately.
Eyes are complex dream symbols and can be interpreted by considering the dreamer's experiences and the details in the dream (as is the case with all dream symbols). Some say that the eyes are the windows for the soul. Eyes symbolize perceptiveness, personal outlook, clairvoyance, curiosity, and knowledge. They also reveal information about personal identity and suggest to the dreamer what they should pay attention to. Closed eyes are said to represent fear and an unwillingness to see clearly. Superstition-based dream interpretations say that if the eyes in your dream are beautiful they represent peace. Crossed eyes may be an unconscious warning about someone’s character, integrity, or misperceptions.
The abyss in any form has a fascinating dual significance. On the one
hand, it is a symbol of depth in general; on the other, a symbol of inferiority. The
attraction of the abyss lies in the fact that these two aspects are inextricably
linked together. Most ancient or primitive peoples have at one time or another
identified certain breaks in the earth’s surface or marine depths with the abyss.
Among the Celts and other peoples, the abyss was inside mountains; in Ireland,Japan and the South Sea islands, it was at the bottom of seas and lakes; among Mediterranean peoples it was just beyond the horizon; for the Australian aborigines, the Milky Way is the abyss par excellence. The abyss is usually identified
with the ‘land of the dead’, the underworld, and is hence, though not always,
associated with the Great Mother and earth-god cults (35). The association between the nether world and the bottom of seas or lakes explains many aspects of
legends in which palaces or beings emerge from an abyss of water. After King
Arthur’s death, his sword, thrown into the lake by his command, is caught as it
falls and, before being drawn down to the bottom, flourished by a hand which
emerges from the waters.
To dream of an abyss, signifies an obstacle that is creating much anxiety for you. You need to work through the difficulty and overcome this obstacle in your life. Perhaps you are afraid of "taking the plunge".
To dream that you are falling into an abyss, symbolizes the depths of your unconscious. You are afraid and/or uncertain as to what you will discover about yourself and about your hidden feelings and fears. The abyss may also represent your primal fears and feelings of "falling into a pit of despair". Perhaps you are in a state of depression or wallowing in your negative feelings. Alternatively, the dream could denote your lack of spirituality.
To dream of looking into an abyss, means that you will be confronted by threats of seizure of property, and that there will be quarrels and reproaches of a personal nature which will unfit you to meet the problems of life.
For a woman to be looking into an abyss, foretells that she will burden herself with unwelcome cares. If she falls into the abyss her disappointment will be complete; but if she succeeds in crossing, or avoiding it, she will reinstate herself.
An abyss is as deep as your fear of the hidden feelings inside of you or of a situation that threatens your happiness. Falling in this abyss reflects your despair and anxiety. Dreaming of an abyss will tell you that you need to overcome your deepest fears and get rid of the obstacles in your way.
An abyss or deep pit or gulf usually symbolizes the unconscious and its underlying instincts. It can also represent the nothingness before you are born, your mother or the maternal breast. It is very common to dream about standing on the edge of a never-ending drop, where the fear of falling into it is great. It could be that you are being invited to descend into your subconscious, to have a good look at yourself from the inside; this is often a very scary thing to undertake which is where the fear comes in. What lay beneath the abyssal darkness could be the repressed parts of your nature.
You may find yourself flying or leaping over a deep ravine, or traversing a bridge across it. This is a symbol of shallowness, where you don’t want to delve to deeply into yourself but prefer to skim over the surface for whatever reason.

Dreaming of running competitively should be distinguished from dreams that have you running to or from something. If you are simply running with no goal, it may be an indication that you need to slow down in your every day life. If you are competing, you need to consider your recent rivalries and realistically look at the current challenges. If you are running in a race and win, your unconscious may be expressing confidence that you may or may not feel in the wakened state. Running in your dreams may also symbolise the energy levels, the strength, or the force that you have to get through life.
