New Landlord

Dream Journal Entry: March 21, 2025

What I remember of dreams is something about someone being offered a cucumber that had been soaked in alcohol. He told the person offering it to him that he was a recovering alcoholic and couldn't have any of it. It feels like a there is a gathering of people in the location but not necessarily a party. I think the cucumber was offered more than once and declined repeatedly. 

It feels like there is a group of us in a house. There are talks of having to pack up and go elsewhere but some were planning to stay.  But then this woman comes in saying that she is the daughter of the landlord of this house. She informed us that her father had died and that this place was now hers and that all of us needed to vacate. I remember thinking it was going to be a challenge to pack everything quickly and leave. 

I then remember seeing some people that work for the new landlord come up to a man and woman who were sitting. I was seeing them through a window. A man approaches the sitting man and it appears the sitting man is injected with something and he slumps over. It feels like the ones who refuse to leave are being exterminated. The woman beside him is spared for some reason. 

I am seeing a very long strand of hair being wound up along with a string. As it is being wound up, it is gathering other hairs that were loose on the floor. I don't know what this is symbolism for. 

At some point, just before I woke, I am now seeing a tall slender white candle burning. Purification?

Interpretation: I think the dream could be about someone clearing out the old inhabitants of themselves. The old landlord (aka old self) died and new version of them took over who worked at clearing the space. The person who spoke of being a recovering alcoholic might literally be talking about a person who has taken steps to stop drinking. Maybe the long hair represents gathering up loose threads, loose ends and wraps it all up in a single continuous action. I'm not sure. It doesn't feel like the dream is about me.
