I'm scratching my head a bit about some symbols in my dreams
yesterday -- I wrote about a dream where there were small tadpole like creatures living in a glass bubble filled with water -- they needed feeding -- they were friendly little things -- but were black and seemed that they would be slick and slimy (this was an anxiety dream about work -- I think)
Earlier in the month I dreamed that there were black creatures that looked something like the cartoon sea monkeys you used to see advertised in comic books -- living under the kid's I cared for's skin -- and eventually under mine....that we had to pull out of us. When we tried to put them in a bag to send to a lab - -they burst in a big splash and were gone. (an anxiety dream about how to fit having kids in my life)
Last year I dreamed about a baby mouse that was inside a pecan....the plumber found it in my toilet and told me when I expressed surprise that a mouse would be in a pecan "yeah - -sometimes they lay their eggs in there"
I had the horrible dream about the horrible rabbit creature(crossed with a tiger) from the Twilight Zone movie (I was supposed to fend it off with a kazoo)
The racoons that were after me that I threw loofas at
and last -- but not least -- the crazy ass beaver dream.
I would love to tell you that I know that all of this is about -- I need to find my own JMTHEAMAZINGANALYST -- so I can figure it all out.
interesting -- there is often animals -- and water together.
and the animals seem to be either after me
or in me (and need to be out)
or -- dominating me in some way (hmmmm) such as the giant beaver or the rabbit monster
I have to give this more thought.
veeeeeery interesting.
wonder what tonight will bring?
Recently mouse dreamed that she was a vampire, living in a coffin under water...had to swim to get to it. Even made swimmy movements...that was what woke mouse up.
ReplyDeleteA friend told mouse that water symbolizes freedom. Animals (aside from dreams about pets) supposedly, represent something about the animal that you lack or need.
Dreams are just odd things...maybe it's just our subconscious on vacation?

My personal favorite was when the court of Versailles held a ball down the road in my local post office - which had set up bleachers for the occasion.
ReplyDeleteSeriously bitchin' shoes I got to wear...!
My most common dream is about being in a house that used to belong to my grandparents, but didn't exist in real life. In the dreams I'm exploring this house that I always liked so much (it changes from dream to dream), and I'm wishing I could live there, but I can't because someone else owns it now. But for whatever reason no one has ever moved in. It's always still furnished, theoretically with my grandparents furniture (but not theirs in real life). But there's no personal stuff. Just furniture.
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me, a while ago (2011/09/on-dreams) I threatened to tell you about one of mine. I finally had a dream last Sunday morning. Here it is. My dreams don't take much analysing:
ReplyDeleteWe were in a car driving along, me and my wife A. I don't drive so it would have been A driving. Suddenly we had to stop, I said we had to stop. We pulled over & I got out the car. Getting out the car I was in a mild panic about my onion skins. We had to go back and get my onion skins. It was something to do with them protecting my skin.
In the dream my wife and I were both women. I had shortish hair and was wearing a long sleeveless dress (what are those dresses called with a like bandeau top?). We were both oldish, with sun baked skin --- baked through years of sun and open air.
A looked over at me, annoyed. She had a large red dog on her lap. She had long thick red hair (in reality she has shortish blonde hair). She shuffled over the seats to my side of the car and leaning out looking up at me gave a short annoyed speech, the gist of which was "Stop fussing. You are my husband, I am your wife, and you love me."
She shuffled back to her seat, grabbing the dog back onto her lap. I sheepishly got back in the car, said something like, "shucks I guess I do love you", and we drove off.
@PL -- I had a giggle fit over "my dreams don't take much analyzing" comment.
ReplyDeletewhere do I start.
Sweetie? What are onion skins? Is that some sort of UK slang? Or did you actually want the skins of onions to protect you. An you wanted it to protect you -- but your skin is darkened and "sun baked" (so it sounds like the ship has sailed)
but I like the end of it -- you two are who you are -- and you're together -- good for you both.

@t1cklish --interesting dream -- I know what it would mean to me -- what does it mean to you?
ReplyDelete@Jz -- that's not a dream -- it's a fantasy
@mouse -- oooh -- interesting -- if water is freedom and animals are a part of me -- little animals trapped inside trapped water -- seems like I need some dang therapy
sfp
I have no idea what the dreams mean. I was kind of expecting those dreams to go away after my marriage ended and I got my own place, which is total paradise. But I'm still having the dreams.
DeleteSo i'm not going to say anything about dream symbols cause you know, it all means whatever it symbolizes for you.
ReplyDeleteBut...
i stil say water represents the feminine, the Great Mother. And i think the tadpole-like thing-y's are sperm! i think it's a creation dream.
But what do i know? Laughing... no, seriously, that was what went through my mind.
aisha
i agree with aisha on this one...i seriously thought it was a creations dream too...birthing water and spermies....
ReplyDeleteand your family is being built in a different way...so (IMHO)...you'd look at that whole scene differently, right?
Hope work straightens out for you...sounds like things are ookie just now...and i that sux.
Hugs
