Re: lucid dreams
I suggest avoiding "this means that so the dream is all about...".
Best way to interpret a lucid dream, is asking in the dream for interpretation (like screaming "what the hell does this mean ???")
you might not like the answer you get, or you might not understand it, but you can ask again and again. Lucidity is lucidity...
I will give you my own Jungian-style interpretation.
This dream seems to represent your desire for your-feminine-side, and what stops you from actualizing the desire, and the solution the dream offers.
(this is the basic Jungian script, all about our relation to the feminine side and to our shadow-side and to our higher-aspect, the Jungian "creator of dreams").
You actually go under some kind of crucifixion in the dream. Both arms, and then two more men on your legs and head.
When you are totally confined the WOMAN appears (and only then !)
(like the Egyptian-style-symbolism-of-the-5th-element-movie, with the 4 elements of earth, and the spiritual 5th element symbolized with a woman in the movie and in your dream).
She comes out of you, as something inside you that is alive, and autonomous, and apart from consciousness.
And as you are struck with amazement she continue to go outside away from you, upwards and upwards to the unreachable roof/sky/top/heaven, especially unreachable from the crucifixion-position, so down to earth, and so zero mobility.
The only activity possible in this position is the dead-people coming out of the same stomach.
see the contrast
Woman - Men
Alive - Dead
One - Many
Going up - Keeping me down.
Yes, the "dead men" and "sitting on you men" are keeping you down, but the dream shows you how to handle that. Not by chasing the woman, or trying to get out from your position, but by releasing the "old-dead-stuff" stuck in your stomach.
This is the solution the dreams shows to the issue (according to me...).
The only way you can cope with this, is by releasing out the dead-stuff, like a mental-constipation only finally being releasable.
You seem to aspire for the highest, but you must deal with letting go on the down-dead-stuff before you can join the woman in the skies.
Or at least it's "the next step on the way".
The usual "proof" of a successful Jungian interpretation is if the dreamer hears the interpretation and "it clicks". "yes that's it."-feeling.
If it didn't click for you, I hope the solution comes in some other way.
