Dream interpretation needed

Sunday night I had a crazy, crazy dream. Imagine Transformers meets The Chronicles of Narnia... Are you confused, because I know I sure as hell was.



In the dream, I had 2 views... 1 watching everything that was going on, primarily being omnipotent (love big words) and 2 actually being an active participant. The dream starts of with it being all snowy and wintry, and I'm in my childhood home back in IL. I see myself playing with my dog, and from behind some snowy trees is a Transformer- he grabs the active participant me and my dog and says we have to hurry and that the battle in starting (in some other dimensional land, like Narnia). The omnipotent me is trying to get ready for work- I'm running late (like hours late) and I have the news on. I'm glued to the news as the post sudden breaking news of deaths and people going missing....everyone they are showing is fictional children characters.... flashing pictures of Mickey Mouse and Harry Potter (all I can currently remember, but there was like a list of 20 people/things)....I was in shock... I knew that we were losing the battle, and that in the few minutes that had passed were years in the other world. I felt a sonic boom- my entire being shook...and I knew that my dog was dead. And I went outside...sitting on the front step is a small box, with my dogs name, filled with ashes.

Then I woke with a start...confused about what time it was, day etc...my next thought was "where's the dog"....who was glued to my side sleeping. Then I couldn't fall back asleep because I was upset that he died in my dream, I did manage to fall back asleep though- just before the alarm went off....and then proceeded to oversleep by 30 minutes....and I was 15 minutes late to work.

All I could think of on Monday was: what the fuck was that dream about?????

Thanks to my pursuit of psychological studies I read a lot of dream interpretation books...but nothing I can think of will answer what the hell the hidden meaning behind that dream. Maybe I should consult my psychiatrist friend- and really she is a friend and I'm not a client....
