Dream images: A doorway into the Earth, and peeling palms....?

I had a rather long and involved dream this morning. I forget most of it, but have retained 2 images to meditate on.

Image 1: I was in the backyard of (my?) house. As I looked over the back yard, I observed a doorway set into the Earth, near a wooden fence separating my yard from the yard next door. It didn't go into the house, as though to the basement, but to a separate structure inside the Earth. Something that was unusual about this door was that it had panes of glass in it, which is unusual in a doorway flat to the Earth, where people or things could fall through it. I guess in a sense it is a skylight allowing light to the structure underneath it. The door itself was set in a frame of concrete, and I knew that if I opened it, I would find concrete stairs leading into the Earth. The door was protected from weather and things falling from overhead by a small shed like roof. I did not open the door, only observed it in a "Hm, that's interesting, maybe I should look into that sometime" kind of way.

Image 2: I noticed my left hand itching, and held it up in front of my face. I saw spots where the skin on my palms started peeling away. The skin on my palm looked old, dirty, and dead. I started peeling away the skin with my right hand, and peeled all the skin off of my left palm to reveal fresh, new, smooth, pink skin. Then I noticed my right palm was in the same state as the left palm, and peeled the skin off of my right palm likewise. I also viewed this image in a "Hm, that's interesting" kind of way.

My attitude on awakening was rested, and fairly peaceful.

Please don't copy and paste dreammoods or dream book definitions, I would like to know what you think, not what dreammoods thinks.

Thanks in advance for your insights, and have fun!
