Dream Interpretation
Front-Ranger:
As I was just coming out of sleep this morning, I dreamed up a new Olympic sport: rupee riding!
It's balancing your bike on an Indian coin. Where does my brain get this stuff?!?
Also unusual last night in my dream I was in the corner of the Safeway grocery. I don't recall ever being in a public place before. Several interesting people came into my view. They seemed to have their own autonomy, not needing anything from me. That's different from the dreams I used to have where crowds of people would be needing something from me.
Jeff Wrangler:
I hardly ever remember my dreams, but one from last night was a real exception.
First of all, I looked exactly as I looked in a photo taken about the time I graduated from college, slim and in a light gray three-piece suit (Italian tailoring, which made me look taller). I was going to a wedding, and there was a woman going with me. I didn't recognize her, although I noticed she had short dark hair.
The church where the wedding was to take place had a circular driveway and then a semicircular portico along part of the driveway. It was time to go into the church. I offered the woman my arm to escort her into the church. She didn't like the gesture (patriarchal, I guess), but she took my arm anyway, and we entered the church. The church was Roman Catholic, but it didn't look like my idea of what the interior of a Catholic church would look like though it did have nice oak furnishings. It looked more like something generically Protestant, and the priest was wearing an academic gown, complete with a hood, instead of ecclesiastical garments. Also, he looked like one of my college professors whom I had disliked.
(This professor had acted as if he felt that teaching undergraduates in a small liberal arts college was somehow beneath him. I think he was probably frustrated in his career, but anyway, once, after a class, I told him privately and politely that he had been wrong about the location of something he had mentioned in his lecture, and in response he gave me attitude.)
Anyway, the next thing I knew the wedding was over, and the woman and I were walking to our car, which was parked in a grassy field that had been turned into a parking area. I said that I didn't remember anything about the wedding, and had I fallen asleep. She said Yes, and that was the endo of what I remember of this dream.
Front-Ranger:
Hmmm, interesting dream. You went back to a place where you were young and in transition. Although you were trying your best to fit in, your efforts were judged. The church, the wedding, the rituals didn't impress you. Maybe you made up your mind to search for something that better fit your style and needs.
Front-Ranger:
I had this dream again last night but I woke up with some different insights about it. Imagine! I've been having this recurring dream for 25 years! The Ute shaman I met this year says that if you have the same dream four times or more, you should go on a vision quest to seek the explanation.
--- Quote from: Front-Ranger on April 18, 2009, 06:40:04 pm ---My most common dream is that I'm in a house, which is a new house I've just moved into or a dfferent house than in real life. I've learned to explore this new house and look at everything in it for clues to my real life challenges. These houses have ranged from mansions to trailers to little hovels made of dirt, but they are all very interesting and I always feel comfortable in them. One was a lot like the "Falling Water" house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The house that appears most often in my dream is a three-story structure with an almost empty first floor, a very cluttered and crowded second floor, and a third floor attic that is like a haven. One time I was on the second floor, trying to get to the top floor and found out that I could not. I had to go down to the first floor and get on an escalator that took me through the second floor and up. My husband and I argued about it because he insisted that I could get to the top from the second floor. So I said, "Hey, it's MY dream!" Another feature of this house is a separate pool house that has an indoor and an outdoor pool, with many tropical plants. One time I dreamed that I went into the pool house, and all the plants were dying. But I have not felt that way for a long time. In back of this house are some rooms that are rented out, like the places I stayed when I was in college.

Jeff Wrangler:
I've had two dreams lately, both, remarkably, involving each of my parents. Only a fragment remains of each of them.
In the first, my mother was helping me adjust clocks in my bedroom here at the house.
(Except for the part about my mother, the clock part may have originated in a funny thing that happened to me last week. Apparently the cleaning lady accidentally changed the hour setting on my clock radio, and I didn't notice it when I set the alarm for the next morning. I woke up an hour late, and that was still an hour before the time read-out on the clock.)
In the second, my father was present, and something was said about my trousers no longer fitting--being too big. :laugh:
(Again I don't know why my father was present, but the part about the trousers being too large might be related to the fact that I've lost about 5 lbs. in just about a week, and I really don't know why. I have thought that, indeed, my trousers might become too large if I lose anymore weight.)
