McDougall’s Fragile Psyche

Dreams have always held a lot of mystery for me. Why does it happen and what does it mean? I am one of those people who never remembers my dreams. I am lucky if I can remember one a month.

So this morning when I woke up with not one but two dreams fresh in my memory, I was intrigued. Not only for the fact that I remembered them but for the fact that they were both very violent and disturbing dreams.

In the first dream, I was attacked by someone and they knocked my tooth out.

Interpretation: To dream that you are being attacked by someone signifies questions on your character and the need for you to defend yourself. You are feeling stressed, vulnerable and helpless. You may also be faced with difficult changes in your waking life.

The second dream was more detailed. I fell asleep at my kitchen table and when I woke up I had been robbed. Everything was gone. Things of significance? My sheets, my couch and my Christmas tree were missing. The presents and the decorations had been taken and my tree was outside on my deck. I got mad and ran outside to find the culprit. When I thought I did, I backed off and went back inside.

Interpretation: To dream that you are sleeping, denotes peace of mind. Alternatively, it may also mean that you are ignorant and not fully aware of the conditions and circumstances around you. Perhaps you are refusing to recognize a negative aspect of yourself.

To dream that you have been robbed, denotes that you are experiencing an identity crisis or you are suffering some sort of loss in your life. Alternatively, you may feel that someone has stolen your success or has taken credit for something you did.

All this goes to prove is that I am in touch with my subconscious as I have addressed many of these exact issues this week with my newfound New Year’s Resolution.

I just need to learn not be so mean to myself, even in my dreams. I’m a good kid and deserve better.
