I have been deciphering a lot of my own dreams, which is why I haven't posted as much actually, haha. I've also considered that the devil or something may be a negative or controlling figure in my life like my dad. The catch is when I had this dream, I was on vacation, far away from my famiy and very happy. While on this amazing vacation I happened to have a number of vivid and disturbing dreams. This caught me off guard because really nothing negative has occurred in my life for months now, I'm at a really good point. This was why I was stumped with it.

Soo if I had to decipher this based on what was going on in my life currently....hmm. Honestly I think in this dream the devil may be myself. Now that I think about it I had been struggling with personal morality at the time. I think the devil was meant to be the darker aspect of me. Which is very controlling and manipulative, a leader who has "loyal followers" who "worship" me. The cards could be related to a metaphor my mom taught me which is that life is a game. Thus they were a connection between these symbols and my life. I stood up to the Devil, (my darker side in this case though I believe it's presence changes from dream to dream) because I have acknowledged those more sinister traits I possess and scorn them, reject them. I am not the "great one" my friends think I am, and I know this. I believe the Satanists may have served a double purpose though in that they were also trying to get me to accept those darker traits of mine, which I refused. The Devil rolled its eyes at my insult because if I am it, it couldn't possibly harm me even if it wanted to, and insulting and rejecting a certain part of myself isn't going to get me anywhere anyways. The fact that they were inside a mountain could have to do with a great struggle that is internal rather than external, which was my morality dilemma.

Wow all of it seems really clear now. When I first had it I was just really confused haha. Honestly though deciphering my own dreams has gotten easier and easier. It's great! :) anyways I have my fingers crossed for a good grade haha.

Anna,
Being on vacation doesn't remove those pressures and stresses that await you when you return home. What dreams focus on don't have to be recent events or experiences. Accumulated emotional conflicts are as much what dreams are about as are recent conflicts.

I think you have done an excellent job with the interpretation. There may be other secondary applications {as to do with people in your life} but the scenario you laid out seems not only plausible but also authentic. If it fits then it is probably correct. "Wow all of it seems really clear now" is what I like to hear when I give an interpretation.

You get an A+ on this assignment.

If you notice the dream ended on a positive note. The 'Devil' wasn't able to hurt you. That suggests you are managing/controlling your negative aspects. Because you are consciously aware of the negative aspects in your life you know what to look for and thus have a better chance of resolving them. You are aware of the negatives because you have taken your dreams seriously. This is why dreams are important.

Have you considered psychology as a career choice? It won't be long before the field of psychology fully appreciates Jung's contributions to the dream world and that all dreams can be competently interpreted. You seem to have an ability to interpret dreams and could be a part of the new science that explores the deeper psyche. I believe there are secrets within the deep psyche that will contribute to new knowledge that could transform life as we know it. not in my time but perhaps yours.
