A lot of people, when telling me their dream, make it a point to tell me that they dream in color. The truth is, we ALL dream in color. Often very vivid technicolor! We are designed to see in color, therefore we dream in color too. And sometimes, the color of an object in the dream can really stand out. When that’s the case, pay attention! There is a reason. The following dream is a great example of that. This is from my nationally syndicated column The Dream Zone…
Dear Lauri,
Last night I dreamed that black goo was running down the walls of my shower and a black bear was trying to chew through the ceiling in my bedroom!! – Nora, Atlanta, GA
Lauri: When colors stand out in a dream you need to pay attention to them because they are often connected to a waking life emotion. Black in a dream usually refers to negative emotions, something you have a bad feeling about. That being said, the black goo in your dream seems to be about some negative, perhaps sticky, situation you have not been able to cleanse yourself of, hence it being in the shower. The black bear suggests this is something that has been somewhat hard to “bear,” and it is not only eating away at you but is also something that has been “hanging over your head,” just as the bear was eating away at the ceiling. Do you know what it is? The bedroom means this is either connected to an intimate relationship (boyfriend, husband) or it is something that is keeping you up at night.
Nora replies: Well that makes TOTAL sense! I am aware that two friends/co-workers are having an affair and it is indeed a sticky situation. I also know both of their spouses. I left that job in December but the female half of this affair is always asking my insight. I keep trying to tell her it’s a bad idea. And to make matters worse, the cheating husband’s wife had a baby two days ago. Aaaaaaaah!! Thanks Lauri, I really appreciate the insight.
Lauri replies: Oh my goodness! So both people are married to someone else? That is sticky. And it is sticking to you because she won’t leave you alone about it. Maybe you should tell her you will have nothing to with her so long as she’s sleeping around behind her husband’s back. Your dreams are likely to continue nagging you about this situation until you disengage yourself from it. Good luck.

I had a dream that I was in a grocery store buying eggs but the csrtons i oicled were all broken and i couldnt replace them because they literslly only had those for options. Somehow i ended up in a house for a gathering. My couscous awareness would go from person to person room to room. I was somewhere outside momentarily while my 4 year old son was in the house watching his own movie. My awareness went to this room which had at least 4 people inside it and they were beginning to watch a movie themselves. When the movie started in was a horror flick. But as the movie went on the horror flick became energetically disturbing. Neon red accented this deep black ooze that started to ooze out floating out of the TV. It started to hurt the people in the room and had the ability to take over bodies almost like possession to aid in its killing if people. I watched the room of people struggle to stay alive. The black goo energy had the ability to take over any TV. As I watch with my awareness I began to worry thinking my son is inside watching a TV as well and rushed in to take him out of the house. I found him right away but as we were leaving the TV in the main room by the entrance turned on and I tried to turn it off but I couldn’t get it to. The ooze was beginning to show up in the screen and I knew I had to leave as soon as possible. I was with 2 other people a man I didn’t recognize and a women I also didn’t recognize. We left the house but the whole world for some reason was dealing with this issue as well so it was a never ending escape from it. Somehow I ended up driving to a place where we went into an underground corridor with tunnels and rooms which also still had some rooms with tvs. Idk why we would suggest hiding in such an area. The end of my dream showed we were able to somehow still watch the TV in these corridors and would see commercials now for a world taken over by a demonic entity. People became possessed and dull of this black goo energy. There skin would be red and the advertising was about the 3 headed dog serberus and other similar dogs with one or two heads. All of them a deep black with accented red in their skin. Advertising this new world I was hiding from in these tunnels with these people. But everytime we did something by accident to notify the TV of our presence there and eyeball would pop up on the TV looking for us. But we were able to deactive it by shooting the eye with a bb gun we happened to share. I recall being worried for the day the last bb would be shot and we would no longer be able to stop it from getting us. This whole time my concern was protecting my son. Idk how we ate because it felt like we were down there forever. Hiding. As soon as I had that thought I woke up. It was like total demonic Armageddon. Craziest dream I’ve had in a long time. Granted I took a cold medicine before I fell asleep.
Pardon my spelling errors lol I just woke up from this dream and I’m a little disoriented from it lol
Hi! Mis Lauri Leowenberg,
How are you?
I have a question, or a dream I saw, I would love if you can tell me what it means.
When I was young I saw a dream, about something dark, like we see in venom movie, it tries to grab me maybe tries to consume me I guess.
Dream starts as, I am in the green valley or green ground with a canal passing through it this canal has a bridge over it too, I am sitting under a tree and suddenly something black comes out behinds me I ran from it far from the tree and over the bridge, but eventually it catchs me it tries to eat me I guess. It seems like it has something pointy spears like goo which tries to srcap my skin that feels and pains like needles. And that is where my dream brakes every time.
I saw something else too but It might be my reflex to the dream I saw but this is what happens next ” but I keep struggling and eventually escap it for a moment and run-away from it. I find myself in a forcefield protecation which is very narrow.” I don’t know for sure.
I saw that dream when I was about 10 or 12, I am 21 now. Ever since I saw that dream it had me bothered. But affter sometimes when I completely forget it, it came back. I am trying to look for the answers what is it, what is it trying to say, why that thing is behind me, is it some disease or something else?
Actually that dream upset me pretty bad.
Hi hopefully this message is seen an I can get some help . Last night I dreamt that my lower right molar crumbled out and I was able to spit it all out an was left with a decent peice with the roots in my hand . Right after looking at it I started spitting up a lot of this black goo thick liquid from my mouth over an over again . Then after there was some discomfort but my mouth was sore but I was feeling better.
