what? you don't entirely buy my interpretation? why, now I'm very hurt. :p
no, I agree with you 100%, about how Symbols are mostly meant as guides to help us approach the situation in maybe a different way, to really get us thinking. especially with Tarot. dreams are so personal that what one dream means to one person could mean something else completely if another person dreamt the same thing, given that their associations and experiences vary as well. it is very subjective, and only the dreamer can truly know what it means. probably only if you had no other personal interpretation of something (the latch) should you rely on the symbolic archaetypical meaning.
but it's quite distracting and can be entertaining to pursue the symbols themselves sometimes. plus I am a big fan of chaos theory. ;) I hope you don't mind that I gave it a go
I hope it works out with your (possible) new congregation and school. and I do hope that the dream does signify your emerging from depression of course.
I shall have to get my hands on the Manga; the Anime is very dark indeed
