Real Dreams
890609 dream
Making peanut butter – showing R___ (?) Rich girl drives up – has very beautiful green/blue plaid
short suit; she gets out of her car.
I have been going to school, I have an attendance ticket of some kind, got job doing something in a
library, which pleases librarian that I encounter.
Sees a mess in my house. Also sees a mess in my teeth – I have something that looks like a dark
crystal (basalt or something) growing in my lower jaw.
House next to Dad's – two houses belong together – in busy fashionable town. We own them and are
going to fix them up. Someone else wanted to move in, but I said nope, very happy about those
houses.
Driving around New Jersey.
890610 dream
Traveling dream – bus/boat? Ride around the coast line. I am trying to keep track of my luggage. Had
small house – neighbors making small aesthetic changes and I plan to continue upgrading the house.
890611 dream
Trying to save a bug that represents something K____ needs for a proposal – unfortunately, the streets
have been sprayed and all the nifty crustaceans and insects are lying dead on the side of the street. The
bug in my hand pops under the pressure of my fingers and I am very upset.
When I get back to room/place – I set up all my toy dinosaurs on display. They are purple, blue, pink,
green.
Eating in a restaurant. H____ sitting at another table. I need to tell him something. As I am walking
out of the restaurant, the waitress runs after me and asks for a knife and two spoons. I give her the
knife. Then I realize I have a spoon – give these to her. She goes back inside – I find another spoon in
my pocket, which I give to her (I walk back inside to do this).
Looking at "gift pack" of candy with R____. She is upset that she can't have any.
Interpretation: In this dream I think I was considering how to get rid of junk.
890614 Commentary on 890611
Symbols: Bug – something that nags, irritates; A device for spying/intelligence; Something that
obviously disgusts; * Glitches in programming. Nifty crustaceans and insects – arthropoda, armored,
live in crevices, low level of evolution, ancient form, unintelligent – things that scurry around unseen,
beings
Streets have been sprayed – poisonous atmosphere. Poison released to kill things that nag/ways to get
information/things that disgust (almost bugs come out of woodwork – smok'em out).
Bug in my hand – a means for gathering intelligence that is in my custody/under my thumb – someone
who bugs me – D____?
Pops under pressure – destroyed – I controlled it too hard.
K____needs for proposal. K____ needs for bidding/for new work.
I think "bug" represents old critters of habit – subconscious reactions (That really bugs me) that I am
so curious about. Many of these have died in K____'s charm school (the pressure of working for her
finishes one?) One reaction that is under my control, something I've been carrying around with me – is
destroyed. It was a habitual reaction that I have held on to with some interest and pride. What is this
reaction?
I now display "toy dinosaurs" things that are colorful realizations of old, giant (unevolved) characters
in myself. Things that are extinct. Insects and crustaceans – the little creatures that evolved almost
that long ago – are now being dealt with.
When I leave there, they will ask me for implements (tools of trade) – the child in me wants to take
away something sweet – but I resist.
