Badger dream
I'm honestly not sure - in the dream I was in a river in a big park in London with a couple of sailors, and one kissed me, and then was talking to the other and sort of shooed this one badger away (that was in the water). Then the three of us waded out of the water which was clear with a cement bottom which graduated up to grass. We walked along a path on the edge of the grass then climbed through a wire fence onto it. I knew it was urban but the fence was old and neglected. And there were badgers just placidly lying around on the grass and in the shallows of the water.
Come to think of it, one of the sailors was older (the one who didn't kiss me), but both were chivalrous. There was some sort of secret tv filming location which they were showing me because I was cute or something.
Perhaps the sailors represent the two men I'm attracted to, not sure about coming out of the water, maybe "coming clean" and the badgers - either badgering about coming clean about it (I'm not actually hiding anything and have shown interest to both and there's not any actual commitment/conflict as yet).
But the solitary nature of the badger seems significant somehow. I'm going to talk to the badgers tonight, regardless!

What I think it all means:
The two sailors represent the men I am interested in romantically/sexually. One older, one younger. Being in clear, calm water indicates that I'm aware of my feelings and need to "come clean" with both of them (indicated by leaving the water with them both). I may possibly find peace of mind by "kissing" one of them - though I may need to rein in my "badgering" (the elder one of them shooed a badger while we were in the water).
Leaving the water also ties in with a levelling of emotions, and then stepping onto the grass indicates my being more self-reliant. However the grass quickly turned to a narrow path alongside a fence. The three of us walked for a little while, and they explained they were showing me a secret tv filming location. I got the impression that it was because they thought I was hot.
The elder one climbed through the fence (I think), and then saw I was wearing heels (representing my glamor and femininity) as I stepped over (the younger sailor helped me over from behind and the elder one helped me step into the grass of the park, which was filled with badgers). The crossing over the fence represents success/achievement of my goals and desires.
I think the broader meaning of the dream is that through these people I will become stronger in myself and my self-reliance. I tend to think the badgers in the field symbolize other people, each living on their own terms (the park was filled with grass and very lovely).
I plan on inducing a dream tonight to see what else I can glean from their wisdom.
Earlier in the dream my right arm was injured by this flying robot ball thing - it lodged three big balls of shrapnel in my arm which looked like miniatures of it and were really painful. I think this indicates that my assertivness is being influenced somehow, or I am allowing it to be marginalized when I shouldn't.
