“Hi Dream Momma, I like your blog and was hoping you can help me as I think about this dream a lot. In the dream, I went with my family to visit my first love (of nearly a decade ago). I went in the house, and it was empty. Saw some things of his, then he appeared. We talked a little, all politely, openly, heart-achily. He wasn’t happy in his life, then his sister came in the room. She was really sweet, and was also stuck in a less than desirable situation. My current love joined us in the room and convo, and we ended up sitting and hugging all together, knowing that the shit was over, and we would help each other escape into happiness back in Atlanta. It was amazingly emotional.” (sic)

Dream Momma,

A dream that keeps repeating, from time to time, is buying a huge old house that is run down, and fixing it up, or traveling through cities in unknown areas and buying homes that are run down for a great price.

I saw your request and I just so happened to have an interesting dream last night. I dreamed I was dancing with my grandfather (who died three years ago and I was very close to). But as I was dancing with him, I couldn’t see him, I could only feel the sensation of dancing with him. So I took a video camera and filmed with one hand as we were dancing. He didn’t say anything while we were dancing. Then I watched the video of him, and I was very happy to be able to see his face. Read the rest of this entry »

Carl Jung, the well-known analyst, and Freud’s expected heir apparent (didn’t happen, they had a fight) said a symbol was the best representation of something unknown.  Jung believed symbols were lurking in the collective unconscious (a part of our psyche we share with all mankind) and they appear as messengers in dreams.  Interpreting them can be slippery.

Many cultures take dreams seriously; we do not.  Stuff and nonsense. Instead of paying attention to the dream we say to ourselves, “Let’s go make money, get high, get laid — get it all.”

The irony of course is, a correct dream interpretation by the dreamer, gets all of the above and then some.
