Hi Tony, I can't quite get a message from the toothbrush symbols in this dream
(Thought I'd just add the start of the dream: The dream began with me walking through underground pathways by huge boulders. I felt happy but groups of people were rushing by racing, I said something like it's not a competition, a leader of a group turns and says, 'oh you are so wrong, life is definitely a competition' I carry on at my own pace, I don't think I have the physical energy to speed up, even if I wanted to which I dont, I enter a gift shop that I come across and I'm given a gift of a white bead bracelet, it has the remnants of soil as if it had been buried, I put it in my left wrist, it's a white stone, possibly with a slight green tint, there may be a carving of a leaf and bird in one part. )
I'm in the bathroom of my childhood home, I notice the ceiling is covered in old toothbrushes and at least two toilet brushes, it's like they are magnetised there. There must be 20-30 items.
Later I ask a guy to take his toothbrush if it's there, as I am going to clean the ceiling. I am making soup in the kitchen and he wants to share, I don't like his presence, I feel claustrophobic with him around and tell him in as diplomatic a way as possible that he'll have to sort himself out for food. He asks me where I'm going later and I'm very vague so he can't then pretend that's where he was planning to go.
In the next scene I am sitting on a pavement with a dark purple duvet over my knees, I am completely exhausted. I seem to have just had to stop there. I guess the scene of me sitting there looks a bit like a homeless person. A young woman comes and sits with me, she is so kind and sympathetic, she tells me the body just needs to be allow to rest when it's been over-burdened, I find it hard to believe that resting is allowed or that resting will solve anything. Even though I am doing it at that moment out of the inability to overcome fatigue.
