When I was going to school here for my teaching credential, I took a class on dream interpretation from a soft-spoken professor named George Jackson. He taught us the Jungian approach to working dreams and told us to drink a glass of water before going to bed and to keep a notebook and pen next to the bed so we could write down our dreams when we got up to pee.
George said an unworked dream is like an unread letter.
I think about that a lot.
Which isn’t to say I work all my dreams.
I don’t.
Not for quite some time.
This morning I had a dream between waking with Zippy and when it was time for me to get up.
Don’t worry.
I won’t bore you with the details.
Suffice to say it included
nudity
a slide
swimming pool
and an LJ friend who recently sold two books.
The dream was rife with symbolism.
And at first I thought it did not bode well for me and my career.
But as I let the symbols and feelings flow and connect,
I realized it was a perfectly wonderful dream.
And not just because it included a tall, super-fast slide.

Hm…your dream sounds much better than mine (in which the kitty pooped on the floor and I had to run his nose in it…and then, sadly, I woke up and it was real!). Oh, and I also dreamt about DH a lot (and I was mad at him in every dream…it’s probably good that I have those dreams, because then I can be happy with him awake, hehe).

No kitty poop in my dream. Thank goodness because otherwise the slide would not have been nearly as much fun!
You probably already have this info but maybe this will help:

As for being mad at DH, I don’t have any links for that. 🙂

Mine was not so fun last night. I dreamed I started a relationship with this guy who used to be in my writer’s group. At first he was nice, then he started doing things like caressing my face and then after a minute saying, “You know, you might look better if you put on some blush or maybe some other make up.”
Yuck.
I think a naked waterslide with friends sound much more fun.

I don’t like dreams like that. Not at all.
Naked water slide, though, is a hoot!

I spent Saturday plowing through the archives at the Los Angeles Central Library, looking for traces of my family history. My dream that night? I was smack-dab in the middle of a carnival show: scary clowns, dark tunnels, freakish humans and untamed animals. Hmmm, let’s interpret that! 🙂
