dream of friends getting ate up by lions?

i had a dream i sitting behind well manicured bushes on the ground in a field writing in a journal.
my friends and i were laughing and talking out of nowhere lions attacked us and ate us up.

i am going to try to word this because this part is wierd.
i was watching myself getting ate up. i was the last one to get ate up.
my friends and i go to find rescue to help the people who did not get ate up by the lions.
a man gave me a hot air balloon.

i rescued one girl but her sister was taking to long to get in the balloon so i just left her because i was afraid the lions might come back. and ascended into the sky.

You like to write and document your thoughts in a relaxed environment and in an organized manner. you enjoy the company of your friends. The lions can represent adversary. even though you get knocked down by this adversary, you will overcome it (even though you were eaten, you survived) you are the type of person that is sensitive and feels a need to please and help others. you are determined and will help others in their time of need as well (you went to help others) dont be afraid to get help with others (man gave you balloon). you helped the one girl but left behind the sister because you were scared. you have to remmeber that you have fought adversary in the past (the lion ate u b4 and u survived) why leave the sister behind? do you have a sister, maybe this could represent resentment. what did the sky look like? you ascended into the sky was it sunny? dark? this can indicate the times to come?

the second dream i had (both in one night) i was sad because it was close to my birthday and i was upset because i turning a year older my mother still ran my life. i was walking out of the library into a black car in the parking lot.
quietly thinking that to myself.

you have alot of dreams about your mother. most of the dreams you have of her she is controlling you. however in this dream you are aware that she is controlling. this to me shows maturity. you are realizing that you are getting older and you do not have to take this anymore. sometimes you need to think for your self (the library) the black car can indicate you are moving on. black maybe can mean mourning, sadness, moving on. freud probably would say you have mommy issues. this needs to be confronted. speak to her adult to adult (adult mom to adult naynay) and have a mature discussion about how the way she treats you hurts you etc, just be honest. if she cant change you have to make a choice (in your dream you were sad, porb bc you are scared of the outcome_
