In the part about the man with the red skin, I meant to say he was on his chest, not his back, apologies if that was confusing.

Levin,
I will interpret the two dreams in separate posts since both are long.

There seems to be two definite aspects to the first dream. One has to do with anima aspects, inner feminine qualities. The second could, but this is not clear, have to do with actual experiences in your life. The last part of the dream focusing on the 'middle aged' Asian male would be about this possible aspect.

Let's look at the part about the 'middle aged' Asian male and determine if it is about a real experience or symbolic language. Do you know any Asian males or even females? The demonic smile could suggest something negative about this experience. But again determining whether it was a real experience or symbolic of some aspect of yourself is the task. If you can elaborate on this then we can move forward.

Besides that.

There is a relationship with your feminine self that has not yet been acknowleged or recognized. There could be aspects about your personally that are being addressed {obessive, cliny, naive}. Unconsciously you are in control with this feminine identity but you need to let this part of you out {to the conscious world} and integrate {sex} it with your total conscious being. It may have to do with sexual identity {or may not}. It is something that would be best for you if you bring it out.

This feminine part of you has been with you from the beginning {child}. There may have been times when you let this part show itself consciously but other times you hold it in. There is something about 'being out' that has controlling mechanisms {keeps you from being this part of yourself}. There are negative public impressions {heads locked in place with black contraptions}. Others you know of have let this personality aspect out but you do not know any personally. This is your shadow self, your true self. You are still holding this part of yourself in. Unconsciously you know it needs to be let out, your masculine identity is agreeing to this. You do not know how to act if and when this aspects is allowed to be let out.

Either this part of the dream is addressing real life experiences or inner aspects that need to be let out. The latter is likely the case.

What could these feminine aspects be? A very 'emotional' personality perhaps? It could be about sexual identity. The experiences/influences {elementary school} suggest early life knowledge having to do with this aspect of yourself. It is personality traits and not sexual identity then you may have had experiences where a parents/parents were emotional types which influenced your personality.

Let me know your thoughts and then we will be better able to determine which it is. Because I do know so little about your personally it is impossible to say for sure what feminine aspects are being addressed. But we do know it is feminine aspects of some kind.

Levin,
This dream is a continuation of the first dream and is about emotional identity. There are two aspects of yourself attached together {they are related}. But there is a haze, an unconscious aspect that has not been clearly realized. You have no 'light' to consciously see this aspect. This may suggest you do not want to consciously see it.

There is this feminine voice within you.This could be about emotions. Or it could about identity. It is a 'continuous' aspect, always is there has been there for a long time. This is your other 'brother' within you. A masculine self with distinct feminine aspects. It persists in being acknowledged. But to do so will mean the end {death} of this 'face' {mask} you have been using consciously. It is a frightening thing to do so you push it back into your unconscious.

Either this dream is about strong emotional aspects {feminine}, or sexual identity. Or it could have to do with sexual experiences that were very emotional.

If there are sexual identity issues then this is one aspect that the dream is addressing. If not then it is about strong emotional experiences that you holding in which either happened early in life or has to do with personality traits {feminine/emotional} that stem from early life experiences/influences. You can help identify which it is if you will clarify any early life negative experiences {if any} or if there are sexual identity issues. Again the dream is focusing on feminine aspects. What exactly they are can be identified by giving additional information {you feel comfortable in giving}. I will look more at the mask part of the dream and the mask itself.
