When a vegetarian finds meat in his dinner
I woke up suddenly at 10:30 this morning from a dream in which I was eating food at a restaurant with outdoor seating and tables. After I'd got about half-way through what was on my plate, I discovered there was meat in it (I've been vegetarian since 1983), and in my anger and revulsion I flung the plate over the parapet of a nearby bridge and it fell and bounced off the roof of a taxi cab that was standing in the street below. Various people were standing around the taxi, but I don't think it killed anybody. I was with a girlfriend and she was thoroughly pissed-off at me for losing my temper and doing such a stupid thing. I was terrified that the taxi driver was going to come and punch me in the face for damaging his taxi. And then I realised, to my relief, that it was just a dream.
The discovering-my-restaurant-meal-has-bits-of-dead-animal-in-it part was based on real experience, of course. That's happened several times during my forty years of being vegetarian, though why it should have chosen to arise in a dream at this particular juncture, I don't know.
So, dream analysts: what does it mean?
