Last night, I had another one of my very strange and random dreams that makes no sense at all to me - I have no idea why I would dream it at all. Any comments are appreciated.

I can't remember every single detail now, but I can still remember most of it...

The dream started off with a group of people I've never met before and myself "treasure hunting". We were exploring some sort of underground caves, that had spots where we had to swim underwater to get from one chamber to the next, and this "cave" was inside of a large hill or something simliar, as we moved from chamber to chamber (or room to room), we kept going up to where we could eventually look out of a "window" and see several buildings below us.

At the very start of the dream, one of the men in the group had become greedy and wanted all of the findings for himself; he pulled out a small gun, such as a pistol, and demanded everything we found be turned over to him. He proceeded to fire the gun at several of us, and if I remember correctly, I was shot in the leg. But, the rest of the group and I were eventually (pretty quickly) able to stop him, and we tied him down then beat him til he was unconscious.. and we were able to get away.

From here we went on to continue exploring the different "chambers" of the "cave" - as the dream went on it seemed more like a underground building of some kind. Different rooms / chambers had different things in them. Most had the usual "treasure" - gold, jewels, etc... but a few had things like old pictures, antiques, etc... and for whatever reason I can remember finding a strange pack of cigarettes -- they were Camels and had the name of man written on them along with a series of numbers including 911. I remember asking somebody why numbers were on it, and they gave me a very strange answer - telling me that the numbers represented the generations of the person's name - I cannot remember what the name was now, but it was very strange - because the person explaining it was saying it was like like "John the 911th" - as if whoever the person was had kept the same name from son to son over 900 times - like 900 "juniors" ???

From here on the dream just kept getting stranger and stranger; we continued moving up through the various chambers until eventually they turned into actual rooms, as if we were in some very tall building... as we continued, we found a few more random items, a few "rooms" that were completely empty, then a few that looked like somebody else was already there before us... eventually, as we got near the top of this "building" or whatever it was, we discovered a "room" where people were living - in my mind I assumed they were squatters looking for a place to live. I cannot remember any names, but I can remember that everyone we talked to were very friendly, and I can still sort of see their faces in my mind's eye but it's too "blurry" for me to sit down and draw, or to describe... One of the people we met was a girl with blonde hair that I seemed to know from somewhere else - I can remember us asking them why they were there and if they had found any "treasure", but all I can remember them saying was how one of the girls with them discovered a few things that were worth 18 million dollars, and that she had decided to leave them behind ???

The only other things I can recall where that some of the "rooms" up higher had things like TV's and DVD players - which were completely out of place, and that when one of the people told me their phone number, the numbers were "backwards" ... as in the number started with 0.. like 082-5555 - instead of 555-5082.

Does any of this make ANY sense to anyone or am I just going crazy?

I had that same dream myself this past week. It is a recurring dream and is like a paradise with these secret rooms. I remember thinking this last time that I was so upset that other people had found my secret place. In the dream I had thought that I was the only one that knew how to get there.

But I think that I just realized that my similar dream is about IMVU. If you go to imvu.com there are all of these rooms and it is like paradise where you listen to music, explore, swing on swings, ride animals, go on boats, etc etc...

I want to do your post justice OP but it is almost dinner time for me. I will give you some insight as I see it and will try to add to it as I get a moment.

The cave is your subconscious. Swimming is you exploring your subconscious. It's interesting that you have others with you. Do you know these people? I suppose they could be spirit guides. I will describe the water being a type of purification mechanism. The windows represent conscious you.

Just from what little I have read, is there something you are exploring subconsciously that is essential to you - YOU? Are you feeling lost right now and need guidance? This isn't a general question. This is something extremely important to you.

The man in the dream attempted to disrupt your lesson. Obviously, he didn't succeed.
