cats and dogs!
Dreams of pregnant women often are bizarre. Expecting moms, especially if it is their first pregnancy, frequently dream of birthing all types of small, primitive life forms—like snakes, lizards, frogs, cats and hamsters. In your case, your dream shows that even dads, who are worried about their soon-to-be boy or girl, can have strange pregnancy […]
career in the slow lane
Hi Anonymous – I think you are ready for your career change! For some reason, hitting that bus seems to indicate that instead of doing what you normally would do – slow down, wait behind it for it to move on – you are frustrated with it being there and you decide – hey – […]
golf with tiger woods
Hi Larry – Congratulations on being the first reader to submit a “golf anxiety” dream to Ask the Dream Doctor. I’m willing to bet eighty bucks, though, that you’re not the only golfer (or commodities trader) who has had this dream! “Performance anxieties” often are represented in dreams through test-taking metaphors. If we’re worried about […]
incomplete
Hi Mike – I think your dream is reflecting the feelings you hold for your girlfriend, and may also be foreshadowing the events of the near future. The metaphor that keeps recurring in your dream involves “wholeness.” Your dreams are showing you that, by splitting up with your girlfriend, you are going to become incomplete. […]
head on my book
Hi Leo— Are you worried about having your “head handed to you” at work? It appears your discussion with your boss did not make you feel over-confident! Because your dream holds disturbing and ominous overtones, it suggests fears for a negative outcome in the future. Given that you and your family are in good health, […]
beheaded
Hi Michael— Because you are one of several people who are executed in this dream, your dream indicates an event that is affecting a large number of people, rather than an action that concerns only yourself. Accordingly, your dream most likely reflects frustrations you are experiencing at work (a social environment), rather than uncertainties about […]
plane crash
Hi Andrew— Plane crashes in dreams symbolize concerns related to our careers. The difficulty that your plane experiences gaining altitude, accordingly, indicates doubts that you “may not arrive” at a current goal in your career. Are you experiencing difficulty climbing to the next level of financial or social success? The inclusion of the Dallas Cowboys […]
stranded
Hi Tim— Now that you’ve received your early retirement package, do you sometimes feel like the ground has been swept out from under you? Dreams of being located high above the Earth often represent concerns about our careers. If we’ve over-extended ourselves financially, we may dream that we are “hanging on” to the side of […]
anima rising
Hi Anonymous – What a fabulous dream. No wonder it remains so vividly in your mind. Given the context of your dream, your sister appears to represent the “universal feminine.” Not only does the dream take place in a universal setting, but your sister also re-enacts the tale of Eve in the Garden of Eden. […]
fiancee dies!
Hi Paul— Death in dreams is a common symbol for change and separation, and should not be interpreted literally. Accordingly, I wish to reassure you that your dream of your fiancee’s death is not precognitive, and does not mean that she will suffer from an accident or injury. On the contrary, the true fear you […]
ex-lover with a beard
Hi Marshall – Your dream seems to indicate that there are masculine qualities about your old girlfriend that you are not fully comfortable with, and wish were different. Perhaps this is a reason why she is an “old” girlfriend. Was there something about her, aside from the physical distance between you both, that prevented you […]
taking in the sun
Hi Adam – It’s hard to tell the significance of your girlfriend’s/future fiance’s dream. But I think the fact that it gives you pause at some level is significant. I do not believe that your girlfriend is associating you with her old boyfriend who used to beat her. You are not abusive with this woman, […]
