Dream Narrative
I was in an ancient library where the books could talk. They were telling me secrets about the universe, but I could only remember fragments when I woke up. The library seemed infinite, with shelves stretching up beyond what I could see. Some books floated in the air, their pages turning by themselves. An old librarian with glowing eyes guided me through hidden sections. He showed me a book that contained my entire life story, including parts that hadn't happened yet. When I tried to read ahead to my future, the librarian gently closed the book and said, 'Some knowledge isn't meant for now.' He then led me to a cosmic section where the books were made of starlight and contained the histories of other worlds and dimensions.

Interpretation
This dream reflects a deep desire for knowledge and understanding of your life's purpose. The infinite library represents the vast reservoir of wisdom available to you, while the talking books suggest that this knowledge can come through intuition rather than just rational thought. The librarian stopping you from reading your future points to the importance of living in the present rather than fixating on what's to come. The cosmic section with books made of starlight suggests that you're opening up to broader spiritual or philosophical perspectives that transcend ordinary understanding.

The Animal Court Feast
14 days ago
I was attending a feast in a medieval castle, but all the guests were animals dressed in elaborate clothing. I was the only human present, yet no one seemed to notice. The food kept changing every time I looked away - from roast meats to live butterflies to glowing fruits I'd never seen before. A fox in royal attire kept asking me riddles I couldn't answer. When I failed to solve the third riddle, the fox announced that I must provide entertainment for the court instead. Not knowing what else to do, I began telling stories about my other dreams—about the crystal city, the star ocean, and the glass forest. The animal guests were entranced, and as I spoke, some of them began to transform, showing human features beneath their animal aspects. The fox king revealed that this realm existed at the intersection of all dreamworlds, and that my stories were creating bridges between different dream dimensions. He gave me a small golden key and told me it would allow me to return to this nexus point whenever I wished to travel between my dreams.
Ocean of Stars
3 days ago
I was swimming in an ocean of stars. Each time I touched a star, it turned into a small creature that would follow me. By the end, I had an entire galaxy of little light beings swimming with me. They communicated through pulses of light and showed me constellations that told stories of ancient civilizations. I could breathe underwater and felt completely at peace. The creatures led me to an underwater temple made of black stone and starlight. Inside, I found a cosmic library similar to the one in my previous dream, but this one contained knowledge recorded in light patterns rather than books. The creatures taught me how to read these patterns by becoming one with the light.
