I had many dreams that night, but one in particular stood out-so vivid, so strange, and so unforgettable.

I found myself in an unfamiliar place, watching two ducks jumping into what I first thought was a lake or maybe even the sea. As soon as they dove in, the water began to sparkle-shining beautifully, almost magically. I remember thinking, “Wow… this is so pretty.”

When the ducks emerged from the water, they were still covered in those shimmering sparkles, glowing like living stardust. It felt like they belonged to someone, and eventually, they left-taking their glow with them. I was left alone in a wide, barren desert. But this wasn’t sand-it looked like sand, but it was water. Still and dense. I thought to myself, “Could this be the Dead Sea?”

I stepped in and touched the surface. Some parts of it were black and murky, but when I moved the water slightly, it began to shift-transforming into liquid rainbows. That’s when a woman appeared. A small house manifested nearby, tiny and humble, and she walked out of it.

She told me something cryptic: that when the water is left still, when no air flows through it, it dies and turns black. But when stirred-when moved-it comes back to life, glowing in iridescent rainbow colors again.

I found myself walking across the surface of this strange water. Not swimming. Not sinking. Just walking atop it like it had become solid, or I had become light.

Then I suddenly remembered a reel I had seen-a girl attaching a drone to her phone to take pictures of herself from above. I had that too! In the dream, I transformed into a woman wearing a stunning rainbow dress with a tight corset. I laid down on the surface of the water, wanting to take pictures from above in this beautiful gown. The drone flew around me, and I caught it in my hands.

Out of nowhere, a man appeared. He was a friend of the woman in the tiny hut-some kind of doctor. Very handsome. There was something intense in his gaze that made me both aware and slightly uncomfortable.

Near the little wooden terrace of her hut was a breathtaking rose bush-blue roses. I just stared at them, mesmerized. I took photos of them too. Then, as if by magic, one of those roses appeared in my hand. A full image of a blue rose, blooming in the palm of my left hand.

In the distance, I noticed a city behind the hut. It was built into a hill, white and beautiful, rising higher and higher like layers of an ancient dream. The woman said, “It wasn’t always like this. There used to be so many houses, so many people. But now… this is all that’s left. I am the only one here.”

We went inside her hut, and I said I needed to charge the drone so I could take more pictures. She led me to the other side of the house, where she had a secret garden filled with bell flowers-and massive hanging bells swaying gently in the stillness.


Real-Life Meaning

This dream came during a time when I was emerging from a long period of emotional drought, grieving what was lost, questioning what remained. The desert, the water, and the blue roses all
mirrored the feeling of emptiness slowly turning into beauty again. It reminded me that healing doesn’t always look like action; sometimes, it’s quiet rediscovery.

The message came full circle that very same day, when a tarot reading said:
The days in the desert are over. New things are coming.”
It felt like a divine confirmation that I am ready to step into something new, vibrant, and alive – even if I don’t fully see it yet.
