Spooky Angel tells us this dream:
______________________
I had a lovely dream. It was quite odd though, because usually I hate aeroplanes, but in this dream I had flown to a deserted island. I don't remember if the flight itself was in the dream or not, I don't think it was. I was aware of two other ppl with me, but as always, didn't see them properly. I felt very close to one (male) and I liked him being there. The other friend, whoever it was, was female and kind of tagging along, but she was welcome.
The island was beautiful. The aeroplane was "parked" on the beach near me and my friends were there with the plane. It was a small white plane. I left it and my friends as I walked across the flat sandy beach and sat hugging my knees in the sand. It was really hot and there was a gentle wind. There were palm trees. I felt completely at ease and was wearing like long white flowy clothes.

This one seems like a dream venture into the superconsciousness, since you are flying. Getting to a deserted island via the flight would suggest travelling over water, usually a symbol for the subconscious. (Just like going downstairs to a basement would be a dream activity that meant you were delving into the subconscious, & going upstairs would be investigating the superconscious, where the issues of the super-ego dwell. This is according to Jung, as well as I recall.) So it appears this dream was using it's time to deal with a superconsciousness oriented super-ego driven matter. Super-ego meaning related to your soul, or something that has greater significance in your life right now other than something like what new car to get or whether to attend a party or apply for a new job. It's spiritual.
The superconscious would house isues that deal with the essential "you." In spiritual terms, the "you" in the superconscious would be your "soul." (Jung was very spiritual man, and when he used the term "spiritual" it could be applied to any system of beliefs or religion which deal with the meaning or philosophies of man's place in the universe. This includes how our spiritual "essence" interacts with our psychology in dealing with the physical world via our ego, (the ego being the portion of our personality that attempts to oversee our presentation of "self" to the world and to other people,) and our "persona," (the way we see ourselves in our psychological construct, which is usually the dream personality we wear; it's usually a mask-type accumulation of things we like and dislike about ourselves and we present that persona to the outside world.)
The "self" is made up of segments such as the anima and animus, dependiing on your gender. There is also a "shadow" that will pop up in dreams that embodies the portions of one's self that an individual really abhors and will project into this dream character. The shadow will be of your gender and is usually so horrid you really don't even want to think about the attributes of the shadow. Because it will be made of all the things you do not see yourself as being. One might even go out of one's way to display clothing of some type as a symbol to let the outside world know that they are NOT that type of person. (For example, I might wear "hippie" or non-conservative clothes to "prove" I'm not a "yuppie," when in reality that is exactly how I see some of my behavior. In other words, I consciously reject that aspect, but my subconsious picks up the que and assembles it into a dream character, "The Shadow," with all the disowned pieces of persona, so that I MUST process it somehow, on some psycholgical level.
----------------------------
Anyway, that got away from your dream. (Sorry!)
I think you have taken your "animus" with you to your superconsciousness. In this dream it would be the friendly male you had along and liked being there. A female's animus is the section of her super-ego that embodies her means of tapping into an "energy" source in real life. Women develop the dream character of the animus based on how they observed the interaction of a prominant male care-taker in their lives with a primary female caretaker. (A father and mother, usually.) If the male interacted with the female in a caring and supportive way, the female (child) will develop a very friendly, supportive animus that shows up in her dreams as a very comforting presence who elicits a very warm feeling. (After a dream in which a healthy animus shows up you may even wake up feeling like you wish you could feel that way all the time. I believe that the archetype of the Knight in Shining Armour originates here. I think Joseph Campbell deals with this in his investigations of mythologies, etc.)
Your animus seems very solid, I would guess there was an older male you dearly loved and trusted as you grew up, if not your Dad, then some other close relative who gave you mentoring and guidance.
The third person, the female, who "tagged" along might be the very inklings of a shadow, but since you don't dismiss and reject some specifically remembered aspects about her, and say she was welcome, I would think that she was there to complete the" trinity" of your "self" in the superconscious. (The idea of "three" being a "completion" or a "complete number' in Jungian psychology is based on the archtypical use the the Trinity by religions throughout the world. In other words the triad aspects of your persona were represented by the Animus, your Ego, and the this woman, who was not there for any reason other than a "spiritual" place holder in your dream voyage to your superconscious.)
So where does this bring us?
You don't like planes but flew to get to the spiritual realm of your consciousness, as opposed to, say, just realizing in the dream you were on the island already, without cognizance of the flight. You were willing to expend some energy to get there, even if it wasn't easy for you. Is there a pressing event that entails a spiritual or even religious investigation or contemplation right now?
You must also have a very substantial or comfortable level of spiritualty, since islands are surrounded by water, a usual dreamscape for the depths of the subconscious, and this island seems to be peaceful. And you did not have any dream issues with the water surrounding the island.
You also left your two friends at the plane. Since these dream characters were probably part of the triad of your ego, it seems you were able to leave those portions of yourself behind, and wanted to experience the spiritual plane in a totally non-filtered environment. (Maybe the use of the "plane" is a double visual/verbal pun your subconscious chose for this dream?
) You had no one else to project any aspect of your persona onto when you left them at the plane.
The trinity helped get your ego to the superconscious realm, but once there, you are able to experience it directly. You have even dressed in "white, flowy" clothing, an almost "angelic" garb, and quite appropriate for a "spiritual" visit to your superconscious. The non-descript nature of the garments also suggest that the ego is not presently judging or reflecting any percieved notions about who you see yourself to be. (A lot of times in dreams, clothes, especially shoes, for some reason, really represent persona...I think that's why some people are really shoe fanatics, for some reason the human creature seems to think that shoes tell all sorts things about our inner personalty that we reveal through the shoes we choose to wear. Think about the immediate implications that you get from the mention of red stilletto heels as opposed to sturdy loarfers, or Birkenstocks as opposed to strappy sandals....)
I would say that you are a person who finds meditation a means of solving problems and palliating conflict.
And that your Dad (or some othe male,) has really helped you out in critical times.
And that you are getting a "spiritual" re-charge right now from your superconsciousness, for something you are handling right now.

Sorry for the length! I ramble, as you can tell....! And thanks for the encouragement...about a website!
Right now, though I'm even having trouble interpreting your last post wherein you mentioned an "MB"...I'm sorry what is that? I'm having a brain-melt
