Dream Scene May 5, 2012

   

 I have always found my dreams vivid an telling.  The reason I took the drugs was to sleep.  I find comfort in sleep and in most cases my dreams.  I can live a thousand lives in my dreams but I can also die a thousand deaths.

      Don't take me wrong I have nightmares.  They are horrific and terrifying... and they are real.  But even the worst help me see things.  For example, after you have drown in your dreams a thousand times at which every time was not painful or scary.  You stop being afraid of the water. My dreams have made me unafraid of death and dying.

I have decided to start reading into my dreams and to us them as a tool for my life.

I dreamed a lot last night but last night, with out sharing detail, there were three themes that seemed central.

Car- Freud--"in psychoanalysis a car is often the symbol for treatment."  He says a slow car is an ironic statement about the slowness of analytical analysis.  OK ?  My car crash into a parked car and I left the scene
     - Jung--sees a car as a symbol for moving away.....can we just say genius.
    In general I feel that the car is symbolizing a transformation.  My sister was in the scene so it bods well for my analysis since my sister and I are growling closer and trying to trans form our relationship.

Shoes- In the dream I have lost one and are looking for another, not another the other one of the pair.
   Shoes are a symbol of grounding and I guess this makes sense since I do seem to be half ground with the life I have and half not because I am looking for a new one.
   It is also said that shoes symbolize protection from the powers of the earth.  Maybe this is way I have always loved to run bare foot,  I don't want to be protected from the earth, I want to be connected to it.
