Dream Interpretation / Alone on a hike

« on: November 13, 2016, 10:51:00 PM »

Hello again,

Thank you for your help with my last dream. Can you help me again?

This time I dreamt that I was setting off on a hike with a group of people, possibly including my husband. But then I realised, as we were having breakfast in a hotel, that I hadn't prepared any food to bring along with me, so I took some time to get some things from the breakfast buffet and put them in my backpack. But my delay meant that everyone left without me. When I realised this, I was scared. How am I going to find my way on my own, I thought? But then I set off walking and, much to my satisfaction, realised I was perfectly capable of finding my way alone. Along the way I passed some odd characters--men on horseback. Some were entirely covered (them and the horse) in an elaborately embroidered golden cover, others were actually riding half-horses (as if the horse had been cut in half from head to tail leaving one front leg and one hind leg), and others were riding on headless horses. In any case, none of the men on horseback bothered me, and I managed to find my way. And when I got to the bottom I rejoined one of the guys from my group, and it felt nice, like we were going to be together as boyfriend and girlfriend or something (oddly though, he didn't look like my husband), and then we both went swimming in a pool, which seemed like a nice, happy thing to do.

I think this dream has something to do with what's going on in my life at the moment, and I would be very interested to hear your thoughts on it. At the moment, I am imposing huge boundaries with my abusive, sociopathic parents who have hurt me again and again and continue to do it at any chance they have, but always deny everything. So I think in my dream I was afraid of walking along the path alone and not being able to find my way because in my waking life I'm scared of facing life alone. The fact that my husband was among the people who left me alone reflects my fear that my parents will turn him against me too, like they've tried to do with everyone over whom they have influence, and he will leave me. And I understand that my dream is telling me I can find my way in life even if I'm alone. But what I don't understand is what the men on horseback represent. Maybe these are my parents, who seem forbidding but on closer inspection are not as powerful as they seem, or are cloaked (not what they seem). And I also don't understand what it means that at the end I feel happy to meet up with one of the guys from the group that had left me behind and that we're going to be together. Why do you think he looked different from my husband? Do you think this means my dream is telling me my husband will leave me but I'll eventually meet someone else?

Dream Interpretation / Re: Pins in Head and toilet blocked with plastic bags

Thank you for your help with this Tony.

Yes, you are absolutely right. There is definitely some healing at work. I'm in the process of distancing myself from an abusive family, so I've been having lost of dreams that I think reflect that...

Dream Interpretation / Pins in Head and toilet blocked with plastic bags

« on: October 29, 2016, 10:33:34 PM »

These are two dreams I had on two consecutive nights. In the first one, there was a toilet that was blocked and then someone told me I should stop throwing plastic bags down it, because that was making it block.

In the other dream, I was walking around a house inserting pins like dress-making pins into my scalp like acupuncture needles. Then later in the dream I start taking them out (most of the dream was actually about taking them out). I walked around the house, running my hands over my head, looking for pins, and there are so many, it's unbelievable, and just when I think I've got them all, I find a new cluster I had weirdly overlooked. And more and more keep appearing. I pull them out, and each one feels good when it come out, like it relieves another little bit of tension and pain. And as I take them out I let them drop on the floor hoping that nobody else will notice. There are some other people milling around the house. I don't really talk to them or engage with them, but I overhear a couple of them finding my discarded pins on the floor and wondering what they are. And I discard them in large numbers. It's hard to do it discreetly. The pins are much thicker than acupuncture needles, and when I pull some of them out I notice how much of the length of them is covered in blood or tiny residue of flesh, indicating they were stuck in very deep (like 2-3cm). And most of the pins in my head seem to be concentrated in the area behind and above my ears, which are areas where in my waking life I typically get my headaches.
