Dream Interpretation / On a boat

« on: August 06, 2014, 12:04:06 PM »

Riding in a boat with some others.  There is a problem with the boat and it starts to go down.  Fortunately there is another, much larger boat nearby.  There are many people on it.  We get close and ask if we can come aboard-they tell us its not a good idea but we board anyway.  While on the boat we are told that there is not a lot of food and the journey will take 2 weeks.  I remember thinking that I can live without food, as long as there is fresh water. 
I then visited the bathroom on the ship and noticed that the fingernail on my left little finger was coming detached.  There was an infection underneath it and I saw bugs running around under the nail.

Dream Interpretation / Re: next phase?

Thank you Tony, it looks like you are pretty dead on, as usual.
This dream was funny for me, because it came so vividly.  I dream nearly every night, but sometimes recalling the individual details is difficult.  Not so with this dream.  It was very easy to remember every detail.  I think whatever part of my consciousness it came from wanted it to stay with me.
As far as embracing the feminine side, I had not thought or felt that, but you are probably right.  I have one brother, we grew up playing contact sports, and while I was never teased about the 3rd nipple (it is barely visible), I have always been teased about my height (I am very short).  This was something that inspired aggression in me from a young age, and I always dealt with it by fighting, which was the encouraged form of defense in my household as well.  Sometimes I still have to fight the urge to become physically aggressive.  The masculine side of me has definitely been expressed and nurtured my whole life.  Now I run a construction crew!! 
So I have little to no inner or outer experience with my femininity, and really little to no experience with strong emotions either.  I seem to be good at hiding from these things.  I will have to think about that.
Thanks Again
Mike

Dream Interpretation / next phase?

« on: June 27, 2014, 11:48:05 AM »

This is what I dreamt last night, I think it is about moving into the next phase of my life, whatever that might be, but there are some symbols I'm not sure about.
My family and I are going on vacation.  Before we are leaving, I notice the skin on my face seems to be peeling in large pieces.  We get to our destination and I notice it is getting worse so I lock myself in the bathroom.  I am actually able to literally pull my face off.  There are several open sores on my face, and I look like a different person.  To me, I look uglier and my smile is not the same.  But interestingly, no other characters in the dream ever said anything to me about my new face.  I also urinated while in the bathroom, but not in the toilet.  I urinated in a container with children's toys, and when I realized my error I cleaned it out. 
I go and try to find my wife to tell her what is happening to me but I can't because we are constantly interrupted by other people.  We leave to go to an amusement park. 
At the park I find an old friend of mine.  I start to tell him about what happened and he is willing to listen.  I get part way through my story and my wife shows up again.  She starts to listen but then runs off to go take provocative pictures with a photographer.  I feel a pang of jealousy and tell her sarcastically to "try to be as slutty as possible".
Me and my friend continue to what looks like a bridge, but it is more like an obstacle course.  I get through with out too much difficulty, but I remember thinking that it would have been easier if I had stayed on the main path.  When we reach the other side, I am suddenly sitting at a table with an old man.  He has given me corn on the cob, which I eat and it is delicious.  He then says, "I have three nipples and there are three harvests for my horses".  He proceeds to start picking corn off of his cob with his fingers and sticking it to mine.  I ask him why he's doing this and he repeats the above.  Then I make a sarcastic comment to my friend about how the guy has three nipples.  Then I woke.
One last and I'm sure important thing.  In my physical life, below my left breast there is a small red mark.  My mother told me once that when I was an infant, the pediatrician told her if I had been a girl that would have developed into a third breast.

Dream Interpretation / stabbing

« on: June 11, 2014, 12:01:59 PM »

Hi Tony,
I have a bit of a recurring theme in my dreams that has been coming to a head lately.  It usually involves me in a fight with medieval type weapons, swords spears etc...  Lately it involves me killing my opponents, which can sometimes be bloody and horrific for me.  Years ago I was the one being killed in the dreams.
Last night I was not the one doing the killing or being killed, it was someone else, someone who I was in charge of.  The situation was as follows-there was a battle going on, and there was a man fighting against us who was sitting in a steel enclosure of some sort for protection.  One of the men fighting for me wanted to make an attack on him with a large spear that would pierce the side of the steel enclosure.  I did not like this, but I knew that the man needed to be disposed of and so i gave my ok on the attack.  The spear pierced the side of the enclosure and hit the "enemy", but he did not die immediately.  I essentially watched him bleed out, and I felt horrible.  I woke up with a feeling of fear.

I have a hunch what I think it is all about, but I'm curious to hear your input.  Thanks again for all you do.

Thanks Tony.  This is definitely helpful.  It seems like sometimes I lack the ability to turn off my conscious mind once I'm awake and see these things for what they are.

Dream Interpretation / haunted kidnapping

« on: May 03, 2014, 12:35:04 PM »

Last night I dreamt that I was on vacation with my family, in a rather nice vacation house (wife and 3 kids).  We discovered a sort of portal in the house that brought us to another, much more spacious place.  Me, my two boys and a friend of theirs who was with us were exploring the house.  Most of the residents in the house were still asleep, but it became obvious to me that there was something wrong with these residents  They appeared to be possessed and the house haunted.  As some of them started to wake they were coming after us and so we were trying to find a way to escape.  My wife and daughter were with us too.  My daughter is now 5 years old, but in the dream she was just a small baby and my wife was carrying her.  As the possessed people came after us more and more it was very difficult to keep track of all the children as we were all running.  We finally made it outside, the boys were a bit ahead of me but I could still see them.  Suddenly my wife tripped and dropped my daughter.  The baby began rolling down a hill.  I chased after her, but someone on a motorcycle sped by and scooped her up before I could get there.  I saw the motorcycle speed off and stop and I chased after it.  I found the rider, but my daughter was no longer in sight.  I asked him where she was and he refused to answer.   I began torturing him to get an answer.  Punching, kicking and stabbing him with a knife I had for some reason. (the previous night I had a dream I was sword fighting and stabbing many men who were trying to kill me, this part felt similar to that)  He still refused to answer me, but I then saw a woman run by with the baby.  I began chasing her but got lost in a crowd of zombie-like beings.
At this point I decided that it would be nearly impossible for me to find her but I would have to die trying.

Dream Interpretation / homeless dream

« on: April 08, 2014, 12:38:28 AM »

So I had this dream that I voluntarily became homeless.  I decided I wasn't going to work anymore and was going to panhandle.  I was with a group of other guys, and my dog, Jessie (beagle) was with me too.  I don't recall if the other men were anyone I knew in my waking life.  We went from place to place, all within the same city.  Stood out front of stores, bars etc..  One store owner gave us 10 dollars each just to get off his front stoop.  Another place was a bar/strip club of sorts.  People were consuming alcohol/drugs and performing sexual acts.  It was tempting for me to go in there but I knew that wasn't really what I wanted and left.
At the next place I was talking with some people when I heard a dog barking and noticed jessie was in danger.  She was cornered by a much bigger, quite ferocious looking dog.  Huge jaws and teeth.  I got in the middle of them, and though I was afraid I was willing to fight to save Jessie if I needed too.  The dog never attacked us and we walked to the sidewalk.
At this point across the street, in the middle of the city, I noticed my grandparents old beach house that I used to visit often as a child, and still visit occasionally.  It was on a very busy corner, cars buzzing past and buildings all around it (in reality this house is in a quaint setting on the massachusetts coast).  It is a place of fond memories for me.  Upon seeing the house I decided I did not want to be homeless anymore.  I remembered a dumpster where I had hidden some cash and my old credit card-I retrieved these items.  I was careful not to let anyone around me see for fear that I would be robbed.  The money was less than I had remembered, but still enough to get started.  Jessie and I proceeded to try crossing the street, but there were many cars and I was scared Jessie would be hit.  Then I woke.

Hi Tony,
thanks for your response.  You have confirmed what I suspected, that some part of me has a problem with my outward sexual behavior, or my attitude toward sex.  The dreams always seem to make me feel as though there is something degrading in the way I express sexuality, which is a bit tough for me to think about.  Perhaps thats the cue that it needs attention.
I have read a lot of your articles over the past few months-wanted to tell you what a remarkable website and service you provide here for people.  Thanks for everything you do.

Dream Interpretation / recurring dream

« on: December 26, 2013, 04:34:48 PM »

Hello all,
I have been hovering for some time now and finally decided I will ask for some help. 
For over a year now, I have been having a recurring dream that comes in conjunction with being sexually intimate with my wife.  The circumstances of the dreams always vary, but in one way or another she is always sexually involved with other men.  Sometimes she engages in these acts willingly, sometimes she is forced by the other characters in the dream.  Every time the dream is horrible and I wake up afraid and angry.
Other information that may be helpful:
My wife and I have known each other since middle school.  We have been married 10 years and have 3 children.  We have always been very much in love and had a very sexually active relationship. There was a period of about 3 years in our late teens/early 20s when we were not together and were involved with other people.  I have never been unfaithful to her, nor do I believe she has to me. 
It is probably also important to note that these dreams started shortly after I began a far more spiritual path in my life.
I have refrained from sexual activity as of late, as it seems to be the only way I'm currently capable of controlling the dreams.  If I remain abstinent the dreams do not come but with sex they always return.  Sometimes if I think a great deal about sex I will have a similar dream, even with no physical act.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
