Well, clearly you think either Child or God is trying to kill you. Probably Child, as God would probably be far more subtle about it.

Going at it from a Jungian point-of-view:

Child is female and represents your own feminine, nourishing (cooking) side. It seeks to place you in what seems to be a sheltered spot. However, you would rather take what the elements bring you, risking your own comfort. You do choose a natural shelter, though it does not offer complete protection. Obviously, that choice is the right one, as the seeming (man-made) shelter is actually the place of destruction. That destruction comes from outside of you, seemingly random from above - I would not necessarily interpret that as being from a divine source.

As I have no idea what the Coleman is, I can't interpret the location.

Coleman is a brand of camp stove. Ubiquitous all over campgrounds here in NA.

Jenny and Rune, you guys are too funny.

The Jungian intepretation provided by Estelyn fits the facts of my experience of late; not that anybody's been trying to kill me, but there are destructive forces that are apparently trying to undo the good I am trying to accomplish.

Taking a somewhat objective stance, it occurs to me that a tent is a temporary shelter, sort of akin to one's body. Hmmm.... this is not the first such dream about such a thing....

Wasn't Saul/Paul a tentmaker?

It could have been the God of cheap flights, Stelios. Apparently lots of 'meteorites' are nothing more than the contents of airliner toilets being jettisoned....

Uh oh! I've written a Valkyrie into my magnum opus and she's not as sympathetic a character as when I started writing ... virtually turning into the enemy..... and her symbol is fire; namely, the firebird or phoenix... *Elempi ducks*
