Dream Interpretation of Organized Lines and the Caravan of Hazrat Abbas and Hazrat Hussein

(The Tale of “Obedience Syndrome,” Individual Identity, and Its Impact on Interpersonal Relationships)

Part One – Dream Narrative

In one of my dreams, I found myself in a large city where almond-eyed girls were marching in neat, synchronized lines down the street. I was among them, and we all performed coordinated group movements. When I asked where we were going, one of them replied, “We are taking Abbas and Hussein.”

Among the lines, I saw Abbas—on horseback, dressed in green with a feathered helmet—and Hussein, who was on foot, headless, and dressed in black. The city stood out with its beautiful columns and golden stones.

Part Two – Psychological and Interpersonal Analysis of the Dream

1. Obedience Syndrome: The Hidden Core of the Dream

The dream reflects a pattern of complete submission.

The dreamer is not moving by personal choice, but rather is caught in a collective flow with a goal that wasn’t self-chosen. This represents “Obedience Syndrome”—a condition where the individual forgoes personal will and becomes entirely subject to the plans and desires of others.

Impact on Interpersonal Relationships:

A person accustomed to obedience tends to show excessive compliance and self-sacrifice in close relationships—whether with friends, family, or colleagues—often without expressing personal needs. This pattern can gradually lead to emotional exhaustion, a fading personal identity, and even hidden resentments.

2. Collective Order or Suppressed Individual Will?

The dream shows two distinct dimensions:

Individual Psychological Aspect:

The dreamer follows group order, but their own voice and desires are absent. The image of headless Hussein symbolizes the loss of personal leadership—meaning the suppression of self-will, identity, and internal decision-making.

Interpersonal Aspect:
Being in formation and performing coordinated actions reflect social belonging, but also a fear of standing out or expressing personal difference. This suggests the individual may be suppressing parts of themselves just to be accepted by others.

3. Symbols Serving Meaning: How Obedience Penetrates the Unconscious

• Headless Hussein: Symbolizes the erosion of personal decision-making (a passive, obedient mind instead of an innovative one).
• Abbas and supportive elements (horse, columns): Potential sources of confidence, hope, and self-support—but remain inactive when personal centrality is missing.
• Coordinated group movements: Reflect a behavioral style that prevents independent action and affects real-life relationships.

 Conclusion and Practical Application

 Your dream suggests this:

To regain inner peace and improve your relationships, practice asserting your personal desires and breaking the cycle of “obedience mode.” Collective strength is valuable, but your dream reminds you that preserving identity and having the courage to say “no” are essential to mental health and relationship quality.

Suggested Exercises:

• Whenever a group decision is needed (in family, friends, or work), express your true opinion—especially if it differs.
• If saying “no” or expressing emotions feels scary, practice in low-risk settings (like with close friends).
• Each night, write your real thoughts and feelings uncensored to gradually strengthen your inner voice and identity.

Final Summary:

Dreams are not just mirrors of the unconscious—they can also serve as practical maps for reclaiming your agency and improving daily relationships.

The secret to freedom and joy is to take the leadership of your life into your own hands, while maintaining empathy and meaning.
