Hello,
I came up with strange dream last night. maybe someone could help me to solve the meaning of it. Here , i wrote what I remember:
I appear in the undergrowth area, filled with sounds of the birds. I’m struggling with the shrubbery until I reach rusty metal structure that is made of two big circles. In the middle of it there is well-like hole. I come closer and start to pull out something with the string from the bottom of the dark hole. At one moment it seems to look like a live snake, but after I got it out, I see that is the white walking stick. Eventually I walk away, leaving the traces that were left by the walking stick on the ground.
Later on, I appear in the abandoned territory, which is full of stones and the piles of sand. I go further until I reach a huge hollow and starts to descend down using the ladders. Once I get into the hollow I start to look for something once in a while. Further, I climb with the other ladders upwards and leave the venue.
Then I appear in the old warehouse. There’s no one around, except the roosters that makes repetitive sounds. I see one side of the wall has a hole and I sneak inside. On the ground I see myself sleeping just behind the small tree. The shiny silver walking stick, with the shape of the crawling snake, is lying next to me.
The last thing that I remember is narrow street, with all walls painted with accidental words. I start to move towards the end, carrying the white walking stick that I pulled out from the well in the beginning of my dream. Suddenly I start to mark the words with the stick and I feel that after each word the stick is getting smaller until it completely disappear.
I would be really thankful if someone could give any answers,
Balda

Re: dream analysis
Well, the snake/walking stick is a classic archetypal image (see: AARON'S ROD.) I'd start by investigating that and seeing how you respond to the psychological (Jungian) or spiritual interpretations given to it. That''s all I've got, but it might be enough to get you started.
Re: dream analysis
First, the traditional caveat: with all these interpretations they are based only on what is given which is generally not enough to fully enter the meaning of the dream. I only offer an opinion for the dreamer to think about.
‘The Undergrowth area’
This is the dreamer’s subconscious. Within this space, the dreamer encounters a decaying cosmological structure. This could represent a neglected worldview or a gateway into an even deeper level of consciousness. From a hole in the center of this emerges a snake. Snakes are a very primal image and can be viewed as energy or messengers. In either case, something is emerging into the dreamer’s subconscious from a deeper (more primal) stratum. Immediately it gives the dreamer a hint of its purpose as it becomes a walking stick. One could understand a walking stick as an aid along a path, so, a more primal energy is emerging as an aid to deal with some issue. It was Moses’ rod which Jehovah transformed into snakes. So, there is something of authority about this stick.
‘The Abandoned Territory’
This is another landscape in the dreamer’s subconscious. It is akin to the dreamer’s shadow side since it is ‘abandoned,’ i.e. an unwanted area of consciousness. It is a Waste Land akin to TS Eliot’s famous poem drawn from Arthurian imagery. (The dreamer is probably more Romantically inclined than Classical.)
The core of this space, which is the issue that is either repressed (I think) or neglected is manifested as a warehouse with talkative roosters. These birds continues to make sounds because it wants attention, the dreamer’s attention and while I cannot guess what this may be in particular, it seems it needs a large space to contain it. But, the dreamer ‘gets to the center’ of the issue and finds a small tree with the walking stick. This is the door to the resolution of the issue: the street.
‘The Narrow Street’
Alleys are also abandoned places, but unlike the Waste Land here there is an opening that is covered with random words much like a puzzle. This means that the core issue is moving more into consciousness. Note how the roosters made random noises, but here are random words. This si progress since what was only noise now is beginning to have meaning.
When the dreamer confronts and verbalizes the issue it will be the path to resolution. The energy to accomplish this, the rod of Moses, is already present in the subconscious.
