dreamer

i had a dream the other night... it started like this;

my dad had made me move into papa bobs house with my mom. well me and her didn't get along well so i decided to leave. 2 other people were with me, but the 2 people kept changing. Michael and Ashley, my boyfriend and my best friend, people that i had made up and different family members. and the changes happened throughout the dream, so keep that in mind. me and these 2 people were getting things ready, putting everything into a big suitcase; food, clothes, valuables, and blankets. i walked down into the basement. instead of 1 set of stairs there were 2; one was really scary looking and i didn't want to go that way, and the other was only semi scary looking. i could see all the way to the bottom of one though the end result of both were the same. i decided to take the less scary looking stairs with only a few spiders and a few snakes. when i got down there, there was a doll that i wanted to take but i kept feeling like it wasn't supposed to look like that, like it was supposed to be breathing. but i didn't touch it, i was interrupted by my papa who was walking up and down the stairs. i was stuck in a slow motion kind of haze as i was watching my great grandfather go up and down the 'super scary' stairs. i stared at them and thought, 'if papa can go up those stairs then why cant i?'. i realize now that the answer to that question is that he was in a war and i wasn't, but oh well. i went through the now deep and dark entrance to the stairs that were strategically placed under the 'not-so-scary-stairs. it took a little bit but i was finally through and i was amazed by what i saw. the colors were vibrant (and this was the most realistic dream i can remember) blues and greens; reds and purples. it was like being under the sea with the sun shining... it was my Atlantis! the stairs were like walking in Sea World (even though i haven't been, that's what i would imagine it would be like) leading up to the top of the 'not so scary stairs'

if there is anybody out there who could have an idea of what this dream could mean, please tell me because i really want to know why i felt like it was a prediction of the future.
