Should I be worried about this dream I had last night?
It was night and I was standing in front of my old apartment. There was a large tree with a medium sized dog tied to the trunk. Robert Downey Jr. stood next to me and we both looked to the night sky at two individuals floating in the air. One floating person was just some random blond guy but the other was Corey Haim. They were both wearing long black leather coats and their hair blew in the wind as they levitated above Robert and I. I never saw Lost Boys, could they fly? Did they wear long leather coats? Anyway, I was holding a gun and began to empty the ammunition into my other hand. For some reason the gun was loaded with coins. A gun that shoots coins may seem strange but not as strange as a gun loaded with raisins which is what I filled it with next. I pointed the gun in the air, aimed right at Corey Haim and fired a raisin at him. He reached out his hand and caught my flying raisin with ease and popped it in his mouth. Damn! I fired again but this time he caught the raisin in his mouth without even using his hands. This kid is good!
Then I woke up and drew this rendering of the entire scene. Anyone care to analyze this dream?

Last summer I took a dream analysis course run by a woman with a milky eye. Even though it was held in her basement and we had to bring our own chair, I still trusted her power of dream perception.
Pretty sure this is going to blow your mind!
Raisins mean you are on the verge of an edge of a cusp of a feeling of remote vagueness.
Corey Haim in your dream means you are hungry for power, scotch eggs and a game of snap (hey I’m just going by my text book here).
An appearance by Robert Downey Jr. in a non levitating dream role means absolutely nothing. If you ever have a dream where he hovers, flies or even jumps we need to talk.
The presence of coins means you are concerned about the perilous nature of loose thread; HOWEVER the presence of coins with an overtone of leather means that you are worried about the resurrection of Aaron Spelling.
Amazingly, Chapter 9 in my dream book is titled ‘Random Blond Guys: If you see one, run.’ But for some reason all the pages in this chapter have been ripped out. Bummer.
Any of this ring true?

Your artist’s rendering makes the dream so much more real than when you told it over those fishbowl margaritas.

Robert Downey Jr. made an appearance in my own dream the other night and I googled Robert Downey dream analysis and landed here. I love your dream rendering. I think that Robert means whatever he means to you. For example, I find him a fascinating compelling truly gifted actor who is troubled by and must constantly battle his demons – can I apply some of these qualities to myself? hmmmm. Since he is standing closest to you, perhaps he represents a sort of shadow self. Since he is silent and not really doing anything you might ask him next time he shows up, if he does, what he wants from you. As for Corey Haim, he’s as random to me as your blonde guy, but the same questions apply to him. Someone once told me that all characters in your dream are an aspect of yourself – perhaps you’re making a choice between random floating which will render you a medium sized dog who is tied down and the witty raising catching floating of a Corey Haim who won’t be tied down, but really you have to figure it out for yourself. As to the gun, the coins, medium sized dogs, and the raisins: choose three adjectives off the top of your head to describe each thing then free associate and you’re on your way to unraveling the labyrinth of your subconscious. The large tree is probably always a penis, but maybe not.

OK, so first, the easiest analysis you could most definately make on this dream is, very random. But alas, everything, including dreams, has a meaning, so without any hesitation at all, this very random dream of yours must have a meaning.
Alright, well I would like to mention also that the statements under mine are extraordinarily remarkable, and probably true, so my comment won’t make a difference, but to heck with it I’ll say what I think anyway.
Before I had even clicked on this, the first thing I thought your dream render was, was of 2 guys jumping off a building (but with some sort of supernatural power to leap so far off of it) and 2 other guys on the ground, one holding what looked like a stick for the dog, the second, just standing there with a blank expression. (although all of them have blank expressions)
The building, is obviously where you used to live, either that or it’s the random blond guy’s. The tree, is the tree that used to be there, or still might be there, unless some idiot didn’t burn it down. The dog, could be, but I don’t know, the dog you used to own, or Robert Downey Jr.’s, Corey Haim’s, or the blond guy’s dog, either that, or it’s some neglected dog left there by an idiot. OK, Corey Haim’s floating in the air could mean that he was pretending to be a super hero and jumped off a building, wanted to be a helium-filled balloon and just float there, or wanted to play a part in the Matrix, didn’t get to, so he did it in your dream instead. The some blond guy floating next to Corey, is a guy that you know nothing about, obviously, or could be anybody like an actor, singer, dancer, cook, or just a random guy who wanted to be cool next to Corey Haim.
Maybe the coins coming out at first from the gun relate to over-excess in spending, and then loading it with raisins probably means you have run out of coins, so now you only have raisins left to shoot people with. (which has hardly any effect at all) Corey Haim eating the raisins means that he likes eating them, otherwise he would spit them back. Now, as to Robert Downey Jr., the guy with the expressionless face next to you, he would probably mean, that he could have been walking to the set to do the Iron Man movie, and just by chance stopped to see 2 floating guys in the air, or, could have drunken one-too-many drinks and wandered around looking for his house, stumbled across your old one, and thinking it was his before stopping and seeing floating Matrix beings in the air.
The thing you should consider most with my comment is, it’s probably all wrong. But if you happen to walk past your old apartment one day and see Robert Downey Jr. near it, I’d advise you to not approach him, as there most definately might be his body guard behind the tree.
Alas, there concludes my comment.

So it was your fault then…
Corey Haim…Cause of death: Vertically fired “dream raisin.”
