Dreamcatcher: Treasure in a Plucky Pennywhistle's Tin (Part 1 of 2)

Treasure in a Plucky Pennywhistle's Tin (Part 1 of 2)

I go to Dad’s house to see his girlfriend Kelly for some reason. Mom rides with me and firmly says she’ll stay in the car, which is what we both think is best. I ring the doorbell, which makes a pug bark wildly inside. I figure she’s not home, so I go inside and look around the house. I’m looking at the pictures on the wall in the living room when Mom decides to come inside. I really wasn’t expecting her to. Then, to my horror, I see Kelly is sleeping in the master bedroom. She gets out of bed. I am so uncomfortable and uneasy. Mom and Kelly in the same places feels wrong. So, so wrong.
Now I’m in a pool with a man and a woman. He makes fun of the way my hair gets in my eyes when I swim under water. I try to swim in a way that my hair doesn’t blind me but I fail. The man proposes to the woman and I tell the congratulations. They were worried I was going to think they were moving to fast with their relationship.
Then I am abandoned at a labor camp, and adopted by an awful family. I have three younger siblings. Before we left the labor camp, the little boy tries to hide what remains of our family treasure but he couldn’t do it. The box of our wealth ends up falling in the muck of the floor, buried in the mud and going unnoticed as we and other children walk in line to leave the camp. Once we’re at our new “home” we talk about hiding the treasure, a conversation that our owner partially overhears. He orders the youngest, the little boy that dropped the box, to show him where the treasure is hidden. The boy leads our owner, to the attic and shows where everyone knew the treasure used to be. The treasure once was in a big square Plucky Pennywhistle's Magical Menagerie bag, but someone moved it and it’s no longer there. Peter Pettigrew, our owner’s assistant, finds a pile of Plucky tins, and opens one up. It’s full of game-boards but not expensively old games like he was expecting. The boy still feels triumphant despite the scare of our treasure being found.
Peter goes through the bottom of the tin and finds poker chips. Since everything else in the tin is fake, he assumes the chips are as well. He mutters, “Stupid muggles,” before closing the tin and leaving with owner and the boy. I step up to the tin and take out a chip. I already know by the feel of it that it’s real. Someone replaced all the expensive old toys with fake cheap ones as a disguise, leaving the original valuable chips. I leave all of the chips alone except for one.
I have an old iPod touch-size device that I slide the chip into. It will open the menu of information such as where to spend it and how much it’s worth, if it’s authentic.[Continued]

The Dictionary of Symbols

Treasure represents a sublimated form of the symbolism of the
colour gold, a solar attribute, as opposed to gold as coins, which signifies exaltation of and corruption by earthly desires (15). In myths, legends and folktales,
the treasure is usually found in a cave; there is a double image here embracing the
idea of the cave, as the mother-image or the unconscious, containing ‘the elusive
treasure’. This is an allusion to one of the fundamental mysteries of life (31)—to
nothing less than the mystic ‘Centre’ within the spirit of man, which Jung has
dubbed the Selbst, to distinguish it from the mere ‘ego’. The trials and tribulations
that attend the quest for treasure may, up to a point, be equated with the experiments of the alchemists in their pursuit of transmutation (32). Jung maintains
that the treasure which the hero wins only after painful effort is nothing less than
himself reborn in the cave in which introversion or regression has confined him.
The hero, in so far as he remains bound to the mother-principle, is himself the
dragon, but in so far as he is reborn of the mother, he is the conqueror of the
dragon (and therefore of his former self) (31). In truth, all striving and all suffering
are steps along the path of moral progress. And it is possible to equate the one
with the other, for as Eliphas Lévi—rightly, in our view—asserts, ‘to suffer is to
strive’. The truth of his remark is borne out by Rorschach’s discovery that colour
and movement are expressions respectively of feeling and of activity, denoting
quantities that are analogous and yet opposed, as it were the two ‘balance-pans’
of the psyche. But it is only when born of conscious choice that work and
suffering contribute to progress in its profoundest sense of self-awareness, virtue
and superiority.
The dragon in the cave may also represent the sevenfold malignity of the
seven planets (as the seven deadly sins), whereas the hero’s weapons are the godgiven powers which make victory possible. Gold coins, however, and all other
derived concepts such as, for example, a bulging wallet, symbolize ‘treasure
easily come by’ (that is, earthly desires, the sensual pleasures, love in so far as it
is selfish love) and in consequence ‘easily lost’.

Perhaps you need to look for the magic in something that seems ordinary. Treasure can also symbolize people in your life that you treasure.

The Dictionary of Symbols

Mystics have always traditionally considered the feminine aspect of
the universe as a chest, a house or a wall, as well as an enclosed garden. Another
symbolic association is that which equates the house (and the above, related
forms) with the repository of all wisdom, that is, tradition itself (4). In architectural symbolism, on the other hand, the house carries not only an overall symbolism but also particular associations attached to each of its component parts.
Nevertheless, the house as a home arouses strong, spontaneous associations with
the human body and human thought (or life, in other words), as has been confirmed empirically by psychoanalysts. Ania Teillard explains this by pointing
out that, in dreams, we employ the image of the house as a representation of the
different layers of the psyche. The outside of the house signifies the outward
appearance of Man: his personality or his mask. The various floors are related to
the vertical and spatial symbols. The roof and upper floor correspond to the head
and the mind, as well as to the conscious exercise of self-control. Similarly, the
basement corresponds to the unconscious and the instincts (just as sewers do, in
symbols pertaining to the city). The kitchen, since this is where foodstuff is
transformed, sometimes signifies the place or the moment of psychic transmutation in the alchemical sense. The intercommunicating rooms speak for themselves. The stairs are the link between the various planes of the psyche, but their
particular significance depends upon whether they are seen as ascending or descending. Finally, there is, as we have said, the association of the house with the
human body, especially regarding its openings, as was well understood by
Artemidorus Daldianus (56).

Meaning of Dreams

It is common to dream about houses. They usually symbolise our emotional and psychological selves. All of your experiences, stages of development, and parts of your conscious and unconscious life may be represented by that house. The house may be representing issues concerning a particular dilemma in your life, or it may be more general and comprehensive. Either way, if you pay attention to the details in this dream, you may learn a thing or two about yourself.
