9/29 Dream ...

Last night I had some strange-ass dream. My girlfriends Margo and Kelly and I were traipsing around San Francisco dressed in costumes for Halloween (or some similar festivity). I was dressed as a Geisha. It was a costume I borrowed from Margo, and dare I admit a very unflattering one. My tits looked terrible.

We paid a visit to a few apartment buildings in which the residents had cooperated to host various themed endeavors, including a haunted/fun house of sorts. At one point we were at an outdoor gathering. A light snow was falling, coating the streets and rooftops in powdery white. On occasion a human palm-sized, man made-looking snowflake would rotate in the air and gleam before blowing away. So it must have been midsummer in The City. There was an alpine (Whistler B.C.) quaintness about it, which obviously doesn't exist in real life. Eventually it left surfaces appearing freshly wet as if having just been rained upon.


Just as we were leaving the outdoor gathering, we were all notified to check for the latest i-gizmo. Mine was black and shaped like a fetal "grand" piano.

Then at one point my husband and I are suddenly dining at a pet friendly Italian restaurant, so we brought our big, fluffy cats in. We sat our cats in the chairs directly across from ours at the same four top, like we were on a double date. Weird. In real life, we have a dog, no cats. I also recall being really annoyed because it took them about an hour just to bring us a glass of water with no ice.

My folks were also in the dream. They were traveling/passing through town. My mom was sick and I was saying goodbye to both of them. I vaguely recall introducing my friends Margo and Kelly to my dad while still in makeup.

Interpretations:
Snowflake: Represents purity and perfection.

Snow: To dream of snow in all its forms, on trees, storms, etc. is a dream of very good omen which shows you will have success in business or investments. Such dreams also symbolize the need to confront repressed emotions. Snow may also signify inhibitions, repressed/unexpressed emotions and feelings of frigidity. You need to release/express these emotions and inhibitions. The dreamer may be feeling indifferent, alone and neglected. If the snow is melting, then it suggests you are acknowledging and releasing emotions you have repressed. You are overcoming your fears and obstacles. To dream you are watching the snow fall represents a clean start and a fresh new perspective. It is indicative of spiritual peace and tranquility. To dream you are playing in the snow indicates you need to set some time for fun and relaxation. To dream you find something in the snow suggests you are exploring and accessing your unused potential, abilities and talents. It may also indicate forgiving yourself or others.

Friends: Signify aspects of your own personality that have been developing, making you grow as a person. The relationships you have with those around you are important in learning about yourself. Dreaming of friends sometimes foretells you will hear happy news from them. *(Kelly let me know today she had her first period conversation with her fifth grade daughter this morning. Margo previously let me know she's expecting.)

Costumed: If you are wearing a costume this could indicate you are trying to hide your true self, or your inner feelings, behind a facade or duplicity; you may not be wholly honest with a loved one and have a fear of being found out. If you are wearing a ridiculous costume, this could indicate you are being foolish about certain matters in your life and must look to the other symbols to find out just what it is.

Transsexual: To dream you are transsexual symbolizes your anxieties or ambivalence about masculine/feminine roles or passive/aggressive behavior. You may be reluctant in dealing with these issues. The masculine and feminine aspects of your Self have been damaged; you may be unwilling to confront your shadow self.

Cats: A feminine power symbol. Attributes are by image portrayed.

Husband: To see your husband in your dream signifies the waking relationship with your husband and the unconscious feelings you have towards him. The dream may be trying to focus on hidden elements that you are not addressing in your waking life.

City: To see a city in your dream signifies a sense of community and your social environment. If you dream of a big city, it suggests you need to develop closer ties and relationships. You are feeling alienated and alone. A spiritual community to which we belong can be represented in dreams by a city. A bustling city may show our need for social interaction.

Night: Signifies obstacles in achieving goals. Put issues aside to clear your head and come back to them later. Alternately, night can be synonymous with, or symbolize the intense darkness that occurs before, rebirth, reflection and new beginnings. It can also signify death or drastic change. More positively, it is a period that allows us to create a new beginning with the dawning of the new day; the fallow period before fresh growth.

Party: Dreaming of attending a party of any kind for pleasure, life has much good.

Parents: Father is usually the symbol of authority; also represent power or strength or discipline. Mother is usually a dream that foretells a happy conclusion concerning a love interest as a mother represents love, protection and nourishment of the body or the spirit.

Illness: Suggests you may be hanging onto an old idea or relationship that is not good for you. To dream that you or others are sick denotes discordance and trouble in your life. It may also signal a part of yourself that needs to be healed, either physically or mentally. Perhaps you are wallowing in your own self-pity. You need to quit feeling sorry for yourself.

Halloween: Signifies death and the underworld; also represents the temporary adoption of a new persona where you feel less inhibited and more comfortable to freely express yourself.
