Mask,
Perhaps a better term would be protection than isolation. Armadillos do have 'plates of armor' to protect them selves as you noted. The blindfold would be important in that it probably is addressing something that needs to be seen. Are there unconscious experiences you are protecting your self from? There is something that needs to 'be killed'.

These metaphors are related to your life. The dream statement 'the dead young man has woken up again' would be related to you in some aspect. Can you associate that with your waking life? Something related to 'feminine' aspects.

Hello Jerry,

still thinking about all of the above dreams. I'm still not sure what their exact meaning is, but maybe the right meaning will come when some things in daily life change...i don't know yet.

About the desert dream:

In short i stil think that cave is about that 'quiet place' deep inside. I discovered it, but am afraid to get swallowed by it. I tell the man about it. Both excitement and fear are felt and because of the fear/possible danger all people are put a level above ground. I think this 'putting all people' on safer ground is what i do to myself when experiencing feelings of fear...putting most of myself on higher/safer ground. I think the walls, surrounding the desert are pointing to this. The desert, to me a place of freedom, beauty and silence...the walls i think could be symbolic for the reaction 'fear'.

The armadillo dream:
The armadillo was blindfolded. I remember the blindfold had a purpose. I already knew the armadillo would try to come after me when i left the house. It was blindfolded so it would not see me.
The armadillo is also symbolic for (a part) of me, i know. The blindfold...indeed, something needs to be seen. The killing...indeed, something needs to be done. Overall something like: from understanding (seeing) to action (doing).

In another dream (which i write down here later maybe) i had my own baby. In the dream i felt love like i've never felt before...a love for my baby. It was really shochking to wake up from the dream and to understand that it had only been a dream. In the dream at a point i thought about that i had had the baby yesterday already, but that only today the realisation had come to mind that it was really mine and i saw what things (like dipers etc) i didn't have. I think in this dream the love for my baby, was in fact the love for myself (my inner child?). Maybe this is where the blindfold fell of?
In the dream, after realizing i didn't have the things i need for taking care for the baby, i started searching after my brother. I wanted him to drive me to a shop so i could buy all those things. I finally found him and was very, very angry at him, because (so i heard in the dream) he had been with other women, while he has a pregnant woman at home. Oh, i was sooo angry. I wanted him to take his responsibilities.
I think this whole dream is about coming to an inner balance. The inner male, female and child. The blindfold has fallen and somewhere i must have reached a point where finally i 'see'.
Feeling love in that dream...that was really a huge experience and i will try to remember it in daily life, so i can find out what really matters to me...in order to come and stay as close to my real self as i can.

Last night i had a nice dream.
I vaguely remember i just had travelled to some places in russia with a group. The dream becomes clearer when after this visit the trip goes to another country...Iceland. We get on a plane...litterarly ON a plane. I sit at the back with both legs to the right side.
After a long flight we finally see Iceland and the plane sets in the landing. We make a huge turn above a city. I have little difficulty to sit comfortable and i see that all people in front of me have one leg at the left and one at the right and i know that gives them more stability. On the other hand i find my way of sitting sort of stylish...because i sit on the plane like a lady on a horse. And i think about the fact that we're almost there and i managed to stay on the plane like this for quite some time already. For a split second it's then like i'm high up in the air watching down on a part of the world...seeing Europe, Russia, Iceland...noticing how far we've traveled by plane...and that i managed this long way, sitting in this position.
I'm excited when, from the plane, i start to see Iceland. The goal from visiting Iceland is to go to the snowy and icy mountains and while the plane is slowly loosing hight i can see these mountains at the horizon. I see one of the them very clearly...a large volcano (not active haha)...an icy mountain with a huge crater. This mountain we will visit i just can't wait. After landing we go into sort of a hotel. There we start preparing ourselves for the mountaintrip. I think about my clothes. I think of the snow and ice. I tell the leader and the others that i don't have such warm clothes for this trip and that i am not that well prepared. I look at some of the other peoples clothes....a lot of orange coloured. It looks like they are well prepared, but then the leader says something like: "The snow and ice might make you think it is could, but in fact the temperature is quite nice up there." I am relieved.

After this dream i have been thinking about Iceland. A lot of its 'cover' being 'hard and cold', but just beneath that 'cover' there's a lot of 'warmth', and some of those things just under the surface have 'healing qualities'...

So far...
