what does it all mean?
i find dream interpretation really interesting. sometimes i'll remember a few key moments of a dream, and upon interpretation, a world of things about it make so much sense. recently, i had a dream that had more things in it that seemed significant than i could keep up with, and yet the as a whole, the dream meant pretty much one simple thing. aren't they fascinating?
color
red: this color indicates raw energy, force, vigor, intense passion, etc. it has deep emotional and spiritual connotations, and also the color of sexual impulses and urges (i rarely notice color, but all the reds were rich and everywhere)
emotion
books: indicate calmness (yet there was also...)
sweat: overwhelming anxiety, stress or fear
being grabbed/touched: feeling emotional or sensitive
drunkenness: carelessness and insensibility
mood
bed: comfort (i didn't use the bed, if that means anything...)
sleeping bag: warmth and protection...expressing a desire to explore the unconscious (i did use the sleeping bag...sort of.)
basement: symbolizes level of satisfaction with the unconscious mind (it had drop-floors and raised ceilings...interesting)
telephone: signifies a message from your unconscious, telling you that you should confront issues which you have tried to avoid (that unconscious was really trying to get itself out there, wasn't it?)
uh...we'll call it "hunger"
eating: food represents love, friendship, sex and/or pleasure and physical/emotional nourishment
coffee: drinking coffee with someone indicates that you might have feelings for that person, but can also indicate a need for stimulation
napkin: soiled napkins being placed on a table indicates a major relationship problem (that's mighty specific.)
meat: (none of the interpretations seemed fitting, but i think one can figure based on the previous and the following...)
lips: sensuality, sex, love and romance (duh.)
to kiss: denotes love, affection, tranquility, harmony and contentment (tell me about it.)
to see others kissing: you are too involved in their personal relationships (heh.)
so i guess...i am ready to explore my unconscious desire for the person that i was dreaming about. though i have a lot of anxiety about it, and there are a lot of problems with this relationship (i can name a few), but it/he provides me a lot of comfort...and mostly there is a lot of affection and desire going on. it took the longest dream i've ever had to come up with that. wtf?
