The Beast

[Echetus]

My first dream of the beast went like this. I was with friends Ive never met before, and we were in an alien looking jungle. In this jungle the first thing I noticed was the bible. I started to read the bible and it was a story about how God loved this creature so much that he wanted them to be able to see his faults. So when he was created God made him gigantic, as he that was the only thing that could punish him, and ultimately humble him. Then after I read this I was walking with my friends that I never seen before, and there appeared this Beast, where I could only see his legs as he was so large. This beast was the same in the bible. We started running and he killed one of my friends, so I hid in the rocks and he was grabbing at me. The end of the first dream.

Then in the second dream. There was the beast, the same in my previous dream, however this time he was a giant ape. He was leading a massive army into something, the voice that identify as God was saying something to me but I dont remember it.

Then in the third dream. I can barely remember what was going on, but I was in a pure steel kitchen. It was a professional kitchen with all things that you expect to see in one. I was doing something and enjoying it, I was having the time of my life. But then I reentered the same kitchen, I remembered the good feelings in it and then I realize that there was the beast after me. So I locked the door. He broke through it so I ran, into the next area, and locked the door. Somehow I was able to strike the beast and I hit him with a giant hammer on his neck and fall down. However after a second he got right back up and broke the second door. So I ran into the last area and locked the door. However he broke right through this one, so I ran into the exterior of the kitchen. There was nothing but whiteness around the kitchen, and running I realized that there was a magical barrier between the kitchen to keep what was inside inside, and what was outside outside. So I hid in the magical barrier, but the beast reached for me, and I stabbed his hands with something. He relented with the hand I stabbed but continued with the other, I thought "Im going to die" and the beast looked to his left, and had a face of repent. The dream ended.

The beast are your fears and guilt and you are always running and hiding to get away from the beast on your own. Once you give in and put God in control of your life (going to the magical barrier of the white kitchen of god) these dreams will go away.

We talk about "our animal nature," "acting like a beast," and the like; and this gives you a strong clue who the Beast is. As BWoL says, it includes much of your fear and much of your guilt; the "animal instincts" you suppress or repress to get along in society, the personal qualities that you don't like in yourself. But don't sell it short.
The Beast has a lot to do with our capacity to be as loyal as a dog, as capable of fighting as a mother cat defending her kittens, as graceful as a tiger and as beautiful as a soaring bird.
As for telling God his faults, I see enough of that on these boards to be very worried that some dream creature thinks its his job. At one time or another, we all think that.
What I see, based on my own experience, is that the Beast does not want to hurt you; but does not really know his own strength. He knows full well he can't cope with our all-too-human society and he needs your help and wants to be your friend.

Keep in mind, most dreams are not "real" in the sense that daily life is. Many are plays, with the characters as actors, and you in a starring role.

Early in my own logging of dreams, I had one where I was walking in a city park and was suddenly charged by a big, mean acting dog. I took a defense posture as it barked and growled. Then, all of a sudden, some loony was driving a pickup straight at us and, though there was little enough we could do, we respectively shhok fists, growled, barked, swore, etc until the pickup drove off. Quick interpretation:

Me: What's that dog doing here? This is a people park! I pay taxes for it! He's supposed to be on a leash! In fact, the sign says "No dogs allowed!"

Dog: Go away, human! You have no business here! This is a place of smells you'll never see, of rabbits to chase, of room to run --- of all the things you humans don't want me to do. So go away, or I'll chase you away!

Us, after the pickup: This is our park! We have worked together to defend it from a common enemy, so henceforth we'll share it, and that special relationship that exists between a man and a dog. We will play; but we will not fight.

You can't hide in that kitchen forever. for one thing, you have to leave it to get the food you cook in it. So, one way or another, you have to come to terms with The Beast Within You. With patience, those can be very good terms indeed!
