magic unicorn
When I was younger I went to an English boarding school. It was a girls’ school to start with but became co-ed when I was 16. There was a guy there, he seemed to be very popular. At first I didn’t know why, but we were cast in a play together and there was a […]
marriage proposal
I dreamt that someone told me a mysterious person was going to propose to me from under a table. The person who appeared was my ex-boyfriend’s father. He asked me to marry him. Although I considered all of the negatives I said yes, not really considering my ex-boyfriend, although I was surprised the person was […]
my sister’s penis
A couple of years ago I had a dream that disturbed me slightly. I was about 30 or 31 at the time I had the dream, and my sister is a year older than me. In the dream, we were both a couple of years younger (maybe around 25), and we were in our childhood […]
mothers & daughters
Background: I am usually able to find meaning in my dreams, but a couple of dreams I had the other night left me worried. On the same night, my Mom and I both had dreams about each other, and both dreams had a sense of danger about them. In my dream, my mom and I […]
lose my family
Background information: Married 31 years (rocky the last three or four years, wanting to leave but can’t seem to because of guilt and security issues), in counseling for the past two years, two adult children, two grandchildren (I adore my kids, their spouses and my grandchildren), social worker for people living with HIV/AIDS. In my […]
my sister’s penis
Hi Christine – Freud would have clucked and filed this dream under “penis envy,” though I don’t think we have to go that far in our analysis. Heck, let’s just call your dream desires for what they are – sexual curiosity – which is about as natural as the sun coming up tomorrow morning. Your […]
mothers & daughters
Hi Melanie— Not only do you and your mother care for each other deeply, your minds appear to perfectly in synch. You each are dreaming of the other’s safety — on the exact same night! I agree that your upcoming move, in January, is most likely the cause of these dreams. Because water is a […]
lose my family
Hi Rebecca— I don’t think the message of this dream is too hard to read! You’ve been thinking about leaving your husband, but your dream shows you’re worried about the “costs” — both financial and emotional. Your dream was disturbing because, on the surface, it shows you and your husband deciding to put your “children” […]
my career!
I am a 26 year old female, single (not married, no current boyfriend) with a decent career and social life. Last night I dreamt that I was out on a golf course playing a strange version of golf with whiffle balls (instead of golf balls) with my soon-to-be roommate (we’ve been friends since we were […]
human eggs
In my dream it is very white and bright. I see lots of eggs. (The eggshell is white and in the shape of a chicken egg, although the size is much bigger, almost the height of a human child.) It’s somewhat like a scene in the movie “Alien,” but unlike the movie scene, it is […]
it’s time
I actually have had this dream several times (at least 4 that I can remember). In my dream, I’m pregnant, and when I find out I think to myself “Wait a minute, I’m not seeing anyone, I haven’t had sex in a long time with anyone, how the hell am I pregnant?” Usually the rest […]
giving birth to a penis
Hi Anonymous— Freud said that every dream is the expression of a wish. Does this mean you already are so tired of men (you are newly engaged?) that you wish to strip us to our bare essentials? (And leave all that “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” stuff behind?) It’s a funny dream, […]
