Dream Board

This part of the Dream Hat is being reconstructed from the wreckage of a former defunct site.  More examples of dreams, long and short, and their interpretations and the feedback from those interps will be posted here.  See how, with a little information about the dreamer's life, the interpretation becomes solidly relevant and meaningful in a way unique to the individual.  

 

The following dream is an example of how we use other people  and their lives to portray aspects of ourselves and our lives to us in our dreams.

"That's my Boy!"

"I dreamt of my two friends. The woman was lying on a bed covered in white sheets. The room was white. Everything was all white. She gave birth to a baby that was dark-skinned with blue eyes. Her boyfriend came into the room and he was wearing a white robe. He picked up the baby and said:

That’s my boy!’ and then he walked out with the baby.

I looked at my friend and she had two younger babies stuck on her belly.

‘How did you do that with those two babies stuck on you?’ I asked her. Then I woke up."

Interpretation:

I asked a few relevant questions:

Q: Do your friends have children in real life?

A: Yes, 3.

Q: Would you expect them to have a dark-skinned child or one with blue eyes?

A: No! Fair skinned, dark-eyed.

Q: Is the woman carrying most of the load? Is her mate irresponsible and immature? Do you often think: "She deserves better in her life. If he would only grow up and take on his share of the responsibilities…."

A: Yes! Exactly!

The dream is about you and your boyfriend, not her and her boyfriend. You view your boyfriend as unwilling to grow up, childish, and that he has not dealt with issues in his dark past. He feels sorry for himself. Want to hold onto his childish, infantile behaviors.

You recently decided that you are tired of carrying the entire load, and are giving him an ultimatum to ‘grow up’ or leave. He has chosen to remain immature. He claims to love you, but it is an immature kind of love. (Stuck on you). If you stay with him, it will be because you want children, not because you respect him.

The white sheets and robes tell me that you are already in the process of making this change. That your attitude is not one of blame or scorn. You are ready to move on.

Feedback response:

"Yes! I have just broken up with my boyfriend of 4 years! He is very immature and has not dealt with the problems that come from a childhood of neglect and abuse. He is a good person, but I want something more for my life."

The Dreamer was triggered into seeing herself and a possible future of sacrifice, labor and an immature, self-absorbed mate by her concern for a friend who is married to a man who is similar in traits to her boyfriend. Her dream mirrored her possible future to her by using the images of her friends who were in a similar relationship.

She had the dream a few days before she cashed in her relationship. It was, despite his immaturity and her fear of loneliness, an amicable split.

Note: Dreams often "Punspeak". In this case, she repeatedly stated that the room was white, the sheets were white, people were wearing white… hey, everything’s going to be all white! Alright!

Sometimes we take ourselves too seriously. That is generally when I notice that the dream symbols are clearly "puns". Sort of a spiritual, or subconscious kick in the pants to get us to lighten up. Humor is most important in life. As it is in life, so it is in dreams.
